- On May 20, 2022 "Around The World Restored & Expanded" was released on bluray and DVD. This title would suggest a longer running time, but the documentary is actually 10 minutes shorter. Almost every segment of the movie was tinkered with. The only noticeable expansion would be the replacement of slow-motion parts with actual (sometimes new) moving images. But mostly any scenes that might be seen as politically incorrect nowadays or that show the band members in a bad light (swearing, arguing, ...) are gone.
- the opening credits have been replaced with a modernized version
- in the very first scene the profile shots of Andy Summers and the lady in the garden (and one garden shot) are replaced with band scenes
- "Next To You" - one "woohoo" after the announcement is missing, the guitar solo including band shots at the train station are cut
- "Light Changes" - new "him killer dog" audio at the start; at the end about 35 seconds with Andy and Stewart talking are cut
- "Walking On The Moon" - slow-motion effects are replaced with additional shots of Sting signalling the end of the fight and Andy Summers being whirled around / Stewart Copeland's comment are partially cut
- "Guitar Man" - the dressing room argument at the end is cut
- tailor scene - bribing the tailor with what's probably a The Police pin : cut
- "Man In A Suitcase" - fan interview is partially cut, the radio announcer and scenes with the doctor are completely gone
- "Can't Stand Losing You" - the cough right before announcing the song & woman saying "thank you all for coming" : cut / one scene with costumes has been replaced / after "Alright Bombay" a few beats including an additional cough have been cut
- "Bring On The Night" - Stewart Copeland's "Arab" comments are cut / roadie Danny Quatrochi talking is cut
- "Voices Inside My Head" - the dressing room scene right afterwards with an angry Stewart Copeland was cut
- "When The World Is Running Down..." - one new Sting shot singing replaces a slow-motion effect / the end now features more moving images of the skyline and a short fade to black before "Shadows In The Rain" starts
- "Shadows In The Rain" - two scenes with Andy Summers and his bolos are cut
- "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" - completely cut (Sting being aggressive to a fan who threw mud at him)
- "Don't Stand So Close To Me" - fade-in: the very first vocals are not audible anymore
- "Truth Hits Everybody" - the first Jools Holland scene is cut, the song now starts to random fan footage / the whole middle section has gone, including a Sting backstage moment
- "Roxanne" - the end of the Frances Tomelty interview is cut - with Sting slowly looking into the camera / bare breasts are replaced with random audience scenes
- "Message In A Bottle" - end credits style has changed / background videos are different in parts
