Two WHOLE episodes of a TV show on VHS tape.

Or rather "Two badly-edited episodes of a show"
In the early days of Home Video, when it first occurred to the TV companies that people might actually like to buy TV series (rather than films), they often edited several episodes together into a single seamless program.

And when I say "seamless", I actually mean "Jammed together like a beige Metro mashed into the grille of a jack-knifed artic". The people responsible for editing the shows clearly felt that actually watching the program, or having any idea of how the story was supposed to develop, was beneath them. As was any attempt to camouflage the joins, which appeared to have been performed with a blunt axe and some used band-aids.
