I totally understand what you're saying, Almar. It's amazing we've had so much of a release in the UK at all! But in saying that, the other side of the coin is that I'm sure it would help improve sales over here if they did manage to put out a few different extras with the volumes so there was some difference from the Australian release.
There's a considerable core of avid Prisoner fans within the UK who will have picked up the series in its entirety from Australia, who might be reluctant to buy the UK version as it's effectively the same product, but I do appreciate how it's a bit of a Catch-22 situation!
