I don't have a 4:3 release at hand to compare, but from watching the ADV versions, it looks like the show was shot in 16:9 and cropped to 4:3 for airing.

I believe that earlier series never had more than one in-vision commentary per disc (the others were normal audio commentaries), while two episodes on Disc 2 of Series 5 ("Victory" and Angels #1) have in-vision commentaries.

On Blu-ray, that would have been possible. Not on DVD - the in-vision commentaries take up as much disc space as an entire episode on their own. The only way to avoid splitting the Angels two-parter would be to have "Victory of the Daleks" on one disc and its commentary on another.

The first two seasons, no. The back two have a better chance of selling. I know I'd pick up season 4, and maybe season 3, if they came out on Blu-ray.

I don't have any region-free pre-recorded PAL DVDs to try with, just R2, so I can't try those. But NTSC ones I've created work just fine, and it throws up a "wrong video format" error message, which makes me pretty sure that it's not a problem creating the disc...

It can handle PAL content on a Blu-ray disc - the special features from the UK Life on Mars discs work fine. But it throws up its hands at a regionless PAL DVD I created on my computer.

The sets are already expensive enough - I'd hate to see how much they'd try to charge for the 10 disc set with complete Confidentials & their music rights!

I suppose it's too much to hope that the US release will finally get a real Blu-ray case like the UK got for The Complete Specials and Torchwood: Children of Earth (and maybe earlier Torchwood) instead of digipacks...

  I'm pretty sure you're right...

  It's only the second block of episodes produced, but it's still the third series to air. I believe - though I could be mistaken at several weeks remove - that even the producers were referring to them as two separate series in the commentaries.   (Do you refer to David Tennant's outgoing...

Thanks for your answers, everybody. I feel better knowing I'm not being crazy. ;)
