When they say 8 out of 10 cats UNCUT, what do they mean by UNCUT? Is it just stronger language or something?

Most of the time for these shows they edit for several reasons. Time is often a reason for edits in these shows, also sometimes "questionable commentary" is often not suitable for a earlier showing, and may need to be removed.
The Uncut episodes are longer than the "standard" episodes.

Thanks! I deleted my message because I actually had more I wasn't sure about and I figured I should just rewrite the entire thing ^^;; Here are the questions and then my guesses, please correct them if anything is wrong.
Say it in another way:
1. He believes that reckless drivers should be heavily fined. (start with RECKLESS DRIVERS)
Reckless drivers are believed that they should be heavily fined.
2. He did not know her address, so he did not visit her. (start with NOT)
Not knowing her address was his reason for not visiting her.
3. I do not mind being alone at weekends. (start with I DO NOT MIND and use ON)
I do not mind loneliness on weekends.
4. It was proved that the three girls had nothing to do with the missing items. (start with IT WAS PROVED THAT and use OF)
It was proved that the girls were innocent of the case of the missing items.
5. I have not seen Christine since Easter. (start with I and use LAST)
I last saw Christine on Easter.
6. Why do we not invite Sue for dinner? (start with HE and use INVITING)
He should think about inviting Sue for dinner. OR
He should think of inviting Sue for dinner. OR
He should consider inviting Sue for dinner. (I kind of found a loophole around the "think about/of" problem but the entire sentence looked off to me in the first place...)
I think that's it. Also mind that our professor considers American English incorrect and wants us to use present/past perfect rather than just past simple (eg. "before I came here, I had spoken to Jack" rather than "before I came here, I spoke to Jack").

Well, I live in America and I speak American English, so I'll do my best to help you. But past simple is considered grammatically correct here, so if I accidentally tell you it's correct, I'm sorry. But I'll try not to

This is not correct. It should be "Reckless drivers, he believes, should be heavily fined."
2. He did not know her address, so he did not visit her. (start with NOT)
Not knowing her address was his reason for not visiting her.
Correct
3. I do not mind being alone at weekends. (start with I DO NOT MIND and use ON)
I do not mind loneliness on weekends.
Correct. I don't know about British people, but Americans would say "on", not "at" in the first place. We don't say "at weekends".
4. It was proved that the three girls had nothing to do with the missing items. (start with IT WAS PROVED THAT and use OF)
It was proved that the girls were innocent of the case of the missing items.
This is grammatically correct, but it sounds really weird. If you use "of the case", an American would assume that you're talking about an actual legal matter. A more "normal" way of saying this would be:
"It was proved that the three girls knew nothing of the missing items."
5. I have not seen Christine since Easter. (start with I and use LAST)
I last saw Christine on Easter.
Correct
6. Why do we not invite Sue for dinner? (start with HE and use INVITING)
He should think about inviting Sue for dinner. OR
He should think of inviting Sue for dinner. OR
He should consider inviting Sue for dinner. (I kind of found a loophole around the "think about/of" problem but the entire sentence looked off to me in the first place...)
All three are correct!

I actually consider myself pretty good, it's just that present and past perfect throw me off sometimes, so I'm never really completely sure when it comes to conditionals and reported speech. xD;; It's rather silly that the professor doesn't accept American English considering it's completely fine in the high school exit exam.

Shan't there be a focused post for requests for nickname-changes on October? I remember it used to be held every October and April.

At McDonald's what's the difference between a quarter pounder with cheese and a standard cheeseburger? Is the cheeseburger just smaller?

How should I ask it: 'which one would you prefer', or 'which one you would prefer?
Some explanation as well would be the best

Or how about 'which one DO you prefer?'. It would help if you said what it's for..
