R1, R2 (ITV DVD/VCI) and R4 (Universal) are very similar. U.S. set has a photo gallery and some text based extras.
We still recommend getting one of the "Complete Saga" box sets. Please see the comparison of the "Series Two" in HERE.
Notes:
- R0 release from "Shock" is non-anamorphic/cropped and re-edited. Avoid it.
- Based on the review, the R4 (Universal) release has some audio issues (see notes).
- There are some running time differences. At this point we assume that some episodes/releases have extra credits and longer company logos.
Other release:
- R4 Australia (2012) from "Roadshow Entertainment". -
CUTS:
- R0 Australia- Shock Records - Recut to 8x54 minute episodes (probably like the series was shown in the U.S. on PBS network). Total running time (433:56 PAL).
- R1 America- Acorn Media - No cuts - Complete UK broadcast version.
