Downton Abbey - The Complete Collection [DVD]

Product Information

With the family beginning to gather for the wedding celebrations, a grand entrance by Cora's thoroughly modern mother, Martha Levinson (Shirley MacLaine), threatens to ruffle a few of the Dowager (Maggie Smith)'s feathers.

The original PBS Season One and Two individual releases I have from the US are 1080i/60 at the correct framerate. Both “Behind the Drama” and “BAFTA Celebrates Downton Abbey” are available on YouTube, so I think this new set should be the definitive set. The Monty Python Flying Circus discs were taken from PAL sources up to 1080/50 in UK for the UK discs and 1080/60 in the US -- I have watched a couple of those back to back on Native Rate and couldn't tell the difference at all. I've also bought a few TV BDs direct from the UK that were slowed down to 1080p/60 24fps, like The Lost Prince, and I've read that the UK BDs of Life on Mars and Pride and Prejudice are similarly slowed down.BAFTA CELEBRATES DOWNTON ABBEY: 60 minute celebratory programme featuring cast and celebrity fans of the show culminating in the presentation of a Special BAFTA award. I'm only familiar with normal British BDs of TV shows, which are 1080i/50 25fps and then most American discs of UK shows (like Prime Suspect and Wallander) which are usually 1080p, slowed down to 24fps, with resulting pitch shift and slower movement. Now the full collection of six award-winning seasons and one sensational movie is yours to treasure, forever.

I'm not familiar with Downton on disc, but I'm definitely familiar with the issues that come with putting 25fps UK shows on US home video. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners, who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them. I thought those were the only two options - run the video at native speed and do 1080i/50, or run it slowed down at 1080p/60.

In the fourth series, it's 1922, and six months after a tragic car accident, Lady Mary is still trying to come to terms with her loss. All 52 episodes of the award-winning ITV costume drama following the lives and loves of those above and below stairs in an English stately home. These short films tell the stories from series 1 to 6 of some of Downton Abbey’s key characters through interviews. Extras: Language(s): English, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1:1.

The only concern would be the post above mentioning the discs being a pain to get out and being scratched. If a certain box did use the edited episodes at some point, it would only be an older not complete set.

Less production factories and probably less people working in them has lead to terrible production quality, stacked cases don't help but even 1 disc releases (Super 8 4K for example) looked like they'd been mauled by a wild animal. Like I said before - the individual S2 US release is also 1080i/60 but they messed up something as it has a lot of judder. So I'd also be interested to know if the new Uni set is the same, or If everything is at its original and proper 25 FPS. In the first series, set before World War I, the Grantham family, long-time custodians of Downton Abbey, face a crisis when the heir to the estate dies on the Titanic.Great Houses with Julian Fellowes”, which is Disc 13 on the PBS set, is NOT included in international sets or this new set. As you can see, this new set from Universal for the most part follows the international sets released years ago, which were also distributed by Universal. We also sell a wide range of refurbished Mobile Phones and Tech from major brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft and much more. BAFTA Celebrates Downton Abbey”, a documentary included in the international sets, is NOT included in the PBS set or this new set. When the US boxset came out apparently they reverted to 1080p as they had too many complaints of consumers not able to watch the discs due to incompatibilities with certain equipment.
