OVERALL: Blu-ray B
The German edition has the most extras, although do note that one of them is not English-friendly.
The UK and Italian releases are also English-friendly without forced subtitles, although note the UK release is 24fps whilst the Italian release is 25fps. It's unclear what the original framerate for the series was.
Note also that even after taking into account the 25fps conversion, the UK/German episodes seem to be longer than those found on the French and Italian editions. This difference is currently unexplained (could be additional logos or previews/recaps).
Also available in Holland: if you own this release, please send us its specifications through our forums. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray B France- Studio Canal - No cuts (656:01 - 25fps).
