Question? There’s the obscenely expensive and out of print Complete Series Blu-ray set, eg this one:

And this one, which looks like an Australian import (I know, that’s the country of origin for the show)

First, I heard that the original 35mm elements for the show were apparently lost, so is the HD upgrade (Well, I don’t own it at all yet, but you know what I mean) even worth it? Is there a difference in these two releases that’s significant enough to justify the spike in price? I’m region-free, so the disc regions are a non-issue.

I have the Australian DVD set. It’s sufficient for my needs. I have multiple region free players and a 21inch telly so there isn’t anything significant that a Blu-ray set could offer me.

I love this show. I’m still waiting for a french bluray edition so my relatives can also enjoy this tv masterpiece.
