Anyone recommend which DVD to buy


They stopped showing R66 in Australia halfway through Season 1. for some reason showed Sleep on Four Pillows and Fly Away Home p1. They have already screened S3 and 4. You just never know if it's going to continue.
I'm on Amazon and Ebay, but it's confusing which DVD to buy. Some DVDs have been cropped!
I'd like to get at least Season 1 vol 2 and complete Season 2.
What have people bought?

If you can find a good deal on the complete series, get that. The "cropped" issue just involved season one volume two when they, in a totally misguided fashion, tried to make the show fit onto a widesceen format. Whoever thought cutting the tops of peoples' heads off was a good idea quickly learned better. The problem was corrected with the subsequent releases and the complete series, which are in the original screen format. Shout Factory got the rights to the series recently and put out a complete set that is decent quality and not too pricey.

Thanks. I just have to make sure I don't get the widescreen format. I have a feeling they've been flogged off on Ebay Australia.
