Er, excuse my drool, but is it anamorphic-like?
Uhh, are they expensive and such?
*passes out from excitement*
Do I need a region-free player? Chrisisall

erm, off the top of my head i can't remember if they are anamorphisised or not. i shall try to remember to have a look for you tonight. and my point about higher resolution isn't that they are any kind of funky h.d. versions, just the normal difference between the pal and ntsc standards.
as to the cost they've been floating around £20 in sales when i've seen them recently. www.play.com is always a good start for u.k. dvds.
the one thing that i should add is that i'm not sure that they were originally filmed for 16:9 so it might be a bit of a hack and slash job to make it fit that aspect ratio. that said, i never noticed the picture looking like it was badly cropped.
- edit - the linky on play.com says that they are both anamorphic. hurrah.

I'm afraid I only have the r2 DVD's - I'm very annoyed about the lack of extras present - is it worth getting the r1 DVD's? Are the extras any good? And (more importantly as I seem have no money at all) - how much does it cost to import them?

i only got thefirst season r1 set and i picked it up cheap where it happened to be lying around in a local shop, so i can't really comment about the cost of importing it.
as to the quantity of extras, erm, once again, it's been a while since i watched it, i think there were a few behind the scenes things and a couple of commentaries. all obviously somewhat forgetable, so not really enough to make it an essential purchase unless you see it pretty cheap somewhere.

They were shot full screen with the intention to crop them for widescreen broadcast, so there was extra to trim off. I like seein' the extra 'edges' on the top and bottom, but would love to see it anamorphic.
