TMNT 87: Questions of a Brit

As a fellow Brit (did I mention I'm British?) I can tell you that season 1 and 4 - 10 did air in the UK if you were lucky enough to have Sky back then.

Season 1 aired on Sky 1 in the mornings as part of the DJ Kat Show which was repeated in the afternoons. Seasons 4-7 also aired as part of the same program. The remaining Red Sky seasons aired on the then newly launched Fox Kids.

All of that was under the 'Hero Turtles' branding. The only time the '87 show was ever aired under its Ninja Turtles title is a random Red Sky episode they showed on Bravo in 2000 when they otherwise re-aired Season 3 with 'Hero Turtles' cut.

The did show The Epic Begins (essentially a TV movie that cut together the first season largely missing out A Thing About Rats) under the 'ninja' title. While it allowed the word ninja to be broadcast it did cut out Mike using his nunchuks which led to a weird cut of the title theme which missed out the "Leonardo leads" etc section. Weird. Did I mention I'm British?
