If I recall (from reading about it on TV.com), there were uncut and censored versions of some or all of the episodes from the first series of Heartbeat, when they were released on VHS.
Don't know if the series has been released on DVD in the States and Canada, but all eighteen series/seasons of Heartbeat were released on DVD in the UK by the label Network. I'm not 100% sure, but those series/season 1 episodes are uncut with the ad bumpers and original closing logos included (although there could be music substitutions. Any Beatles songs on the UK DVDs are substituted, along with one or two other songs. That's all I know about any music substitutions).
Have you had the spin-off The Royal over there? They introduced some of the characters on the show in an episode of Heartbeat towards the end of the Jason Durr era.
