5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Gets Better, 16 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This is a beautiful re-release. The picture and sound have been improved since the first DVD release, and the programmes are, for the first time, 100% complete, with broadcast trailers and previews (the 'last week' and 'next week' sequences) restored, just as they were broadcast on Channel 4. The extra material is gold dust. An hours worth of deleted scenes enhances the narrative, giving the characters so much more emotional depth. It's just wonderful to see Stuart, Vince and Nathan in new settings, saying new things. And one scene in Stuart's flat is the most explosive of the lot! The DVD commentaries by cast and crew are as enjoyable as the programme itself. They're informative, funny, sometimes intimate, sometimes dark, and always honest. It really does sound like an unique experience for all the professionals involved.
Queer As Folk was a remarkable show, with remarkable impact, which still reverberates around the world today. It changed lives. This DVD boxset celebrates a brilliant event; we may never see its like again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Definitive Edition Release, 6 Sep 2003
By HW Berry (Welwyn, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Finally, Queer as Folk gets the DVD treatment it deserves, with this fantastic Definitive Edition release.

The set contains four discs: 1 and 2 contain QAF Series 1; Disc 3 contains QAF Series 2; and Disc 4 contains the special features.

Although this is the 'definitive' edition version, note that there is no difference between the actual series' presented here then that already released on DVD and video. However, now each series contains an optional commentary by Aiden Gillan (Stuart), Craig Kelly (Vince), Denise Black (Hazel), Antony Cotton (Alexander), Russell T Davies (Writer and Creator) and Nicola Shindler (Producer). Charlie Hunnam (Nathan), however, is not included on the commentary.

The packaging has greatly improved from the single series release versions of QAF. The DVDs are incased in a fold out pack which itself is placed inside a slide-out cover, and the DVD themselves are printed with the main characters from the show. The presentation also includes a 32 page booklet written by Russell T Davies, which also features pictures from both series.

Aside from the two series, the bonus disc contains numerous cut or extended scenes from the two series which futher enhance the narrative and are intersting to view. Some are pretty amusing; some are obvious as to why they have been cut! The disc also features the original Channel 4 trailers for each series, stills galleries, a video montage, character biographies and quotes. There is also a behind the scenes documentary; video taken from "Right to Reply" discussing the show; and a T4 interview.

The video is anamorphic 16:9 and sound is in 2.0 stereo with optional english subtitles.

Although some of the special features were available on the previous DVD releases of Queer as Folk, this is a marvellously presented box set which gives Queer as Folk the DVD treatment it really deserved, with some good extra special features - including a much anticipated commentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent re-release, 28 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I hesitated a long time before I bought this issue as I already own the previous DVD incarnations of both series. But I am glad I bought it. Not only the transfer is better, is 16:9 anamorphic and subtitles are included. But also commentaries on this set are priceless (and very entertaining), especially those of Russel T Davies where he explains what he meant by what scene.
