dvd disappointment...
I personally enjoyed this story... the TV version of course... I must admit I havn't read the book and probably never will.
And as such I feel compelled to say that this should be released in the UK on a proper region 2 dvd, it'a a mystery to me why it isn't. Having, as I said, enjoyed the tv version very much, I duly purchased the US dvd release... currently the only one available, as far as I know.
But was dissapointed first to find the picture quality was less than pristine, The SHOW ITSELF IS CUT!! there's definately scenes missing from the version I saw on british TV!! e.g. when Tara Fitzgerald's character finds Andrew Lincoln's character working as a painter in the Pub we miss the bits where at the start of the scene He tells her to leave and that she shouldn't be in such a place... and I think there were other bits missing too.
But the worst bit for me, and I realise I probably run the risk of causing offence here, but I'll carry on anyway... Is the american bloke talking at the beginning and before the end credits... being a brit I'm not used to such things on the tv, let alone slapped on to the beginning and ends of dvd's I've bought to watch.
