OVERALL: R1

The R1 release of The Complete Collection — Remastered has the best extras even though it is missing the "Vignette" featurettes that were offered on the old R1 edition (although they're just "best of" montages).

Special thanks to Rewind user Kevin for providing the information about the missing dialogue.

CUTS:

• R1 The Complete Collection America- Warner Home Video - No cuts
• R1 The Complete Collection — Remastered America- Warner Home Video - No cuts - Presumably includes the missing dialogue
• R2 Die komplette Serie Germany- Polyband - Yes – Series 2 Episode 2 is shortened by 4 minutes (starting at 5:20)

  BASIL: "Well most of our guests manage to struggle down in the morning."
