Young Ones, The-Series 2 | R1 |
Any self-respecting fan of The Young Ones would have bought the Region 1 three disc set last year. How is it that Americans manage to receive a far superior DVD release of a British series? On top of twelve classic episodes, the Region 1 release contains:
Regions 2 and 4 have received identically pathetic single disc releases of each season. I couldn't pick any obvious censorship or editing differences between the Region 1 and 4 discs, although the back cover of the Region 4 release does have some fine print that states "For contractual reasons certain music edits have been made". It's possible that the same music edits were made on the Region 1 release. The Region 4 menu graphics and navigation are virtually identical to the Region 1 disc. As far as video quality goes, I noted some regular low level noise in the Region 1 transfer, but not enough for me to discourage readers from making the obligatory Region 1 purchase. Shame on the BBC. |
