The version above is re-edited 25 min version out of the 45 min original. It has been shown for example aboard.
I have seen only the re-edited version and it did not cover these:

• The Rolling Stones, "Respectable" (pop video shown rather than special performance) [This was missing from the version and most likely it's one of the last music clips on the show since the YouTube version interrupts during the last sketch]
  
• Total running time including full commercial break is 42 minutes.
