    WOW :ohmy: that was amazing – didn’t think it would be that different…

    OK – need some help here…

    I have the blu-ray boxed set in my basket at amazon…the problem is…not convincing my husband that he should buy it for me as a belated birthday present…I could work on that easily…

    NO…I have a far bigger problem

    I’d need him to buy me a blu-ray player and blu-ray laptop too… :laugh:

    any ideas ????

    I have ordered mine from the UK as it is the same region as Australia. It will be here next week, problem is, I don’t have a player yet… 🙁 At least I can look at the new extras.

    But some of the extras are on the blu-ray discs themsleves I think. For instance the large collection of rare stills.

    And I’m in the same boat– no player yet!

    The UK disks have a different layout ranged accross 7 disks. I’m pretty sure the extras I really want to see are all on the last 2 disks.

    Sort of cross-posted from another forum…

    UK (Network) version of the BDs arrived here yesterday, and they are stunning. Not perfect, in all fairness, but spectacular nonetheless. They appear to be region-free, because they play in a PS3 and a region-free (OK – hacked, Phil, HACKED) BluRay player even when it’s in Region A. I don’t have a run-of-the-mill BD player, but my TV is NTSC only, if that helps anyone.

    The stills alone are worth upgrading from previous DVDs. I haven’t watched everything, obviously, but if you have an eye for detail, you will love this set. I ordered the UK version because it appeared from the release announcements that it would have more extras. Total was $79.95 inclusive at the exchange rate at the time (amazon.co.uk) vs. currently ~$70 at amazon.com

    My copy arrived yesterday and the picture quality is simply [i]stunning [/i]! It’s like seeing the show for the first time.

    I haven’t watched the show since the old Carlton DVDs came out and it’s surprising how much I’d forgotten. I’m really enjoying rediscovering it.

    A generous selection of bonus features too. The Sylvia Anderson interview is very eye opening but may shatter a few illusions ! :ohmy:
