Format:DVD
In an email from the distributor for this title, 2Entertain, I was assured that this box set of Bergerac is complete in two ways: it contains all the episodes, and every episode has been restored to its full running length. The unfortunate errors committed for the seasons 1 and 6 releases have been rectified for this box set and future distributions of those individual seasons also will have the full length episodes, not the shortened versions.
This series was a constant companion through the 1980s and was consistently enjoyable. It is one of the half a dozen crime related TV series from Britain which set a standard to match. It has stood the test of time and will entertain and audience today. Newcomers to Bergerac may find though that the concept for the series gets diluted towards the end, especially as some of the favourite regular characters appear less often (Sean Arnold's character Barney Crozier is particularly missed) but it's worth seeing the series through to the end with the 1991 Christmas special which which brings the series to a satisfying conclusion.
Highly recommended.

These episodes are supposed to be unedited but either I have a rogue set or later collections were padded out with the old edited series one (and possibly series 6) discs when supplies got short, I dont know,but some of my series one episodes are heavily cut down to 45 mins approx.(I havent got as far as series 6 yet to check)
The packaging gives the correct unedited run times but significantly there are no run times printed on the actual discs.It does say however 2006 on the discs and not 2009 which could be very telling. I would expect both dates to be printed if the corrections had been made to the 2009 release.
This box set is still good value,but anyone wanting the full unedited versions should check first.....Beware!

Bergerac, what can you say.
Brilliant, Such a blast from the past, and a big part of my childhood!
Im not going to write about the show as most people will already know what Bergerac is all about.
I love this show, sadly, for me, it comes to an end after series 8, episode 1, A True Detective. Im not going to say too much, as I dont want to spoil anything for anyone but if you decide to go with this one, you wont regret it.
Picture and sound quality I find is great, though I do have a upscaleing DVD player so I cant compare it to a normal DVD player, but I find the picture and sound perfect considering its from the early 80`s
I cant comment on any extras because I am really not sure if it has any, I have never bothered to look to be honest.
The only subtitles is English and the whole nine series are on 27 discs which I must say, I prefer the Complete boxset DVD case layout as they are all the same size and fit in the box nicely, unlike the mix and match packing of the single series that where released.
All thats left to say is buy this, you wont be dissapointed, pop a disc in and all the memories will flood back.
Series 1 runtime was 485mins, the complete boxset series 1 runtime 535mins.
Series 2 runtime was 497mins, the complete boxset series 2 runtime 497mins.
Series 3 runtime was 518mins, the complete boxset series 3 runtime 518mins.
Series 4 runtime was 553mins, the complete boxset series 4 runtime 553mins.
Series 5 runtime was 508mins, the complete boxset series 5 runtime 508mins.
Series 6 runtime was 431mins, the complete boxset series 6 runtime 463mins.
Series 7 runtime was 520mins, the complete boxset series 7 runtime 520mins.
Series 8 runtime was 618mins, the complete boxset series 8 runtime 618mins.
Series 9 runtime was 624mins, the complete boxset series 9 runtime 624mins.
So series 1 and 6 seem to have had the parts replaced that where missed out on the single series releases, as pointed out by some of the other great reviewers on this title.

Odd editing
There are still some very strange pieces of editing here- even after "rectitication" - One SCREAMING example - the last 2 episodes on series 7 are the wrong way around! Read more
