Just been downloading the first series of DA radio eps. from iPlayer

However I noticed some discrepancies.
Some are 'original' others are 'shortened'
Same pertains to Steptoe, Navy Lark, Hancock, etc.
Why so?
I have been able to compare a handful of programmes of the type you
describe with the same examples which I downloaded some time ago, using
the now defunct 'Radio Downloader'. In these cases, the older downloads
were significantly longer due to the inclusion of a 'buffer' at each
end. This extra material would contain part of the last/next programme
as well as the continuity between.
I cannot say for certain that this is always the case for 'shortened'
programmes, but it seems possible. Was there a point in Iplayer history
where cutoff timing was made more accurate?
