The Blu/DVD edits are the official episodes.
In years past, PBS edited them to fit some imaginary timeslot they had to adhere to and combined an episode or two into one, and you probably lost more material than you gained with the tiny extra scenes PBS edited in after hacking out other scenes. This year seems to be the UK versions on PBS, though.
PBS's handling of Downton is why I just import British shows direct now instead of waiting for PBS or someone else to release them on DVD in the states either hacked up or suffering from NTSC Slowdown.
Oh, and Robert's Walking Dead moment? Someone warned me of it, but I wasn't expecting it.
