    Depends on what T.V you have Mike and how it's set up. I've got a 16x9 widescreen T.V. and that's how I watched the series when it was broadcast. If it's an old fashioned 4x3 T.V. and the set top box (Sky,Cable,Freeview) is st up for that then only the middle portion of the show will be shown.

    Rob is correct, the show was shot in 16x9, but the pan and scan version was shown on tv.

    The DVD is the 16x9 aspect ratio (about 1:77) which was how it was shot. The difference could be over-scanning as it looked fine on my T.V.

    ....Interesting to note that the DVD is in 1.85x1 ratio, i.e. cropped from the televised original which was nearly full-screen.The DVD is therefore a little tight top and bottom at times.I've kept my original just to have it 'as shot',but watch the DVD!

    Looks like this is now available as a DVD, but only in Region 2 format, unfortunately.
