Reel.com (and I assume other retailers as well) are offering the series as
a two-DVD set (not yet released, but you can pre-order it).  As this is a
set for North America it will, I assume, be coded for NTSC - but does
anyone know if this represents the full version, or the cut
Diiscovery-channel one?
