OVERALL: Draw
The UK release has the original UK broadcast versions with 1080p transfers, with bonus episodes.
The US set from The Discovery Channel has the shorter US version with alternate narration by Sigourney Weaver, with exclusive extras. Though note the transfers are in 1080i. -
CUTS:
- R0 America- BBC - No cuts - original UK version (530 minutes). Includes 90 minutes of footage not seen in the US broadcast version. Including the original narrator Sir David Attenborough (not Sigourney Weaver, as in the US broadcast version).
-
R0 America- The Discovery Channel - "US broadcast version" (480 min), which is:
-Re-sequencing the series' 11 episodes.
-Adding a new main music theme.
-Replacing David Attenborough's narration with actress Sigourney Weaver.
-Excised roughly 6-7 minutes of material out of each episode to allow for commercial interruptions. - R0 United Kingdom- 2 entertain Video - No cuts - original UK version.
