As Channel 4 chose to air Dawson's Creek at 6pm in its 'teenage' slot we don't get to see certain scenes.
Here is a list of edits from seasons One & Two, some related pictures and the transcripts related to the edits.
Emotions In Motion
Loads of small parts are missed out in the UK, mainly in Act One and Two
Carnal Knowledge
Odd parts of dialogue in the scene at the Ice House discussing the tape
Dawson: So there she is, on tape, doing it with some guy.
Jen: Miss Jacobs? As in 5th period English Miss Jacobs?
Dawson: The very same
Pacey: Wait a minute. You have a tape of Tamara?
Joey: Oh, I'm sorry, Pacey. I know you thought she was saving herself for you but...
Dawson: I was shooting some pickup at the ruins with Jen and we accidentily left the camera running when we ran out and the rest is pornographic history.
*Dawson, Joey, and Jen start laughing.*
Pacey: God, that's really strange. Um, you can't tell who that guy is or anything, can you?
Dawson: Standard over the shoulder shot we can't see the guy's face.
Joey: So if you're thinking of tracking him down just look for the guy with the brown hair and throbbing neck muscles.
Pacey: Uh, Dawson I think, uh, I think I should get to take a look at that tape.
Dawson: Sure, we'll arrange a private screening for you.
Joey: Yeah, so you can flag the bishop in privacy.
Pacey: You know that's really clever how you turn all the sexual repression into humor.
Jen: You know what, you guys? I'm late, I should get going before Grams puts on the APB.
Dawson: I'll walk with you. Later kids!
Pacey: Dawson, don't forget man, I want to see that tape.
Joey: Pervert.
Pacey: Prude.
A line of dialogue in the shop
Dawson: You should see my parents lately. It's disgusting. They're like, half the time they're making out or dry humping in the living room. You know, what's sad is I'm actually jealous of my parent's sex life.
Crossroads
The first teaser scene with Dawson and Joey started late. We saw from where Mitch turns of the TV, it actually started about 30 seconds before this.
Cut to Dawson's room where the Home Shopping Network is on and Dawson and Joey are making out. Suddenly, you see light as the bedroom door opens going unnoticed by Dawson and Joey. The camera focuses on the TV where you see a hand slowly reaching for the button to turn it off. The TV goes up and Dawson looks up to find Mitch and Gail Leery. Joey looks up, too.
Alternative Lifestyles
In a really obvious cut some of Abby's lines in the canteen when she was talking to Jen about Dawson were edited out.
Abby: Ah, Jen, you're drooling! Look this is the moment of truth. You're going to be working with him all week long so the question is...are you going to be pantive and massikistic and piss me off? Or are you going to be proactive and grab him by the dipstick and make me proud!
Jen: Abby, it's not that simple, alright? Take a look at him. He's totally into Joey. He's in love with her.
Abby: He's a 15-year-old boy. He doesn't know what love is. All he does know is that he goes to sleep everynight jerkin' his gherkin and he wakes up every morning humping his mattress.
Tamara's Return
The first teaser scene with Dawson and Joey was completely left out and replaced with a rather long- 'Last time on Dawson's Creek' section.
*Dawson and Joey are making out outside on a blanket*
Joey: Dawson...
Dawson: What?
*Joey sits up*
Dawson: What?
Joey: What are we doing?
Dawson: What does it look like we're doing?
Joey: It's just not working. I mean, I'm freezing and there's bugs. Can't we go somewhere else?
Dawson: W... Well... we can't go to my house and we can't go to your house so our options are kind of limited.
Joey: I know but I feel too Swiss Family Robinson. I mean, I'm a 20th century girl. We should make out in some music, mood lighting and climate control.
Dawson: Where's your sense of romance? We've got gorgeous moonlight shimmering in the water. We've got stars overhead... crickets chirping... we have plenty of trees and if you get cold you've got me to keep you warm.
Joey: Dawson...
Dawson: What?
Joey: You are so cheesy.
Dawson: You don't like it?
Joey: Are you kidding? I find it unbearably sexy.
*They start making out again*
Part of Pacey and Tamara's goodbye scene was missed out in the U.K where they kiss passionately.
