OVERALL: Draw
The R1 release contains a commentary on the pilot episode and a bonus episode from the second season of the programme, but some of the original source music has been changed due to rights-related issues. On the other hand, although the R2 UK set omits the 'extras' included in the R1 set, the R2 set seems to contain the show's original source music (see notes below).
Music substitutions:
Thanks to rights complications regarding some of the source music used in the series, the R1 set (which also presents the series with a stereo remix of the original audio, with a noticeable dip in sound volume whenever the original source music has been replaced) definitely suffers from music substitutions in some episodes. The R2 UK set appears not to suffer from these music changes and also contains the series' original mono audio. -
CUTS:
- R1 America- Universal Pictures - No cuts, but some music substitutions have occurred.
- R2 Benelux- Universal Pictures - No cuts - Unknown if music substitutions have been made.
- R2 Germany- Koch Media - No cuts - However music substitutions may have been made.
- R2 United Kingdom- Universal Playback - No cuts
