(written from a Production point of view)
- This article deals with the UK VHS collection. For the similar Region 2 DVD release, see Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete TV Movies.
Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Full Length TV Movies was a series of VHS releases from CIC Video, released in the UK in early 1995. Each volume took one of Star Trek: The Next Generations two-part episodes and edited it into feature-length format (with the exception of "Encounter at Farpoint" and "All Good Things...", which were already in that form) – removing the recap and title sequence at the top of part 2, putting credits for both parts at the top of Act One of part 1, and in some cases re-editing cliffhanger resolutions (for "The Best of Both Worlds", the build-up to the firing of the deflector weapon in Part II is omitted).
CIC Video and its successor, Paramount Home Entertainment, would later bring out similar releases for some of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyagers two-part and feature-length episodes – collecting two per tape.
Rental versions of these releases (differentiated by their larger cases) are also known to exist.
