I believe the UK and US tapes are the same; the "fit" comes immediately after
the dancers grab the orb and sceptre, lasting only a second or two -- it looks
like the edit is filled in by going "slow-mo" at this point (if you watch
carefully you'll see her start to wring her hands and bend forward slowly).
My question is still -- why?
