OVERALL: Blu-ray ALL
For the commentaries, deleted scenes, and the more proper conversion from 1080p25 to 1080p24.
Region A viewers should seek out the Amazon exclusive 1-3 set for series 1 in 1080p24 (which is not the correct framerate but it looks better than the individual series 1 1080i60 edition), and it has a bonus disc. The later series 1-4 set has series 1 in 1080i60 so we cannot say for sure whether the subsequent multi-season and complete season PBS sets have the 1080i60 or 1080p24 series 1 (and possibly series 2 which was originally issued in a 1080i60 edition before being remastered).
This has also been released in:
