[Afamilyatwar-list] DVD Sets

[Scott Filderman]

Indeed!The Acorn Media set is 22; the Just Entertainment set is 16; and this third set is 14.
Oddly, the Acorn set has the “least” content. I can’t imagine the 14-disc set is different from the 16-disc version.
Acorn does have an American distributor, with discs playable in our Region 1. AFAW is, unfortunately, not part of that product line, which is why I purchased my set from Amazon UK.

If you do a google picture search “Familien Ashton DVD”  the Scandinavian ones will appear. I just bought the triple set that appears on finn.no  https://images.finncdn.no/dynamic/1280w/2018/3/vertical-5/04/l/nul/l_484263937.jpg Knut From: Scott Filderman Sent: Friday, June 01, 2018 6:53 PMTo: Knut Willersrud ; afamilyatwar-list at baylor.edu Subject: Re: [Afamilyatwar-list] DVD Sets Thank you!  The world-wide Web isn’t quite so worldwide! I haven’t been able to uncover these sets. The running time differences are largely due to extraneous matter like Granada Colour Production cards at the beginning and end; the occurrence (but not consistently) of bumper cards in Series 3 (Part 1, Part 2 etc), and maybe 15–20 minutes of editing snippets, probably to accommodate X number of episodes on the single-layer Acorn DVDs (thank you, Mr. Renforth). There were only 3 series of AFAW; the juggling of distributors into 4 series was for extra DVD $$$.

     For Scandinavia: (Region 2)   Norway: Starmedia 2010 with removable Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish subtitles (guess also published in Sweden/Finland) Denmark: Midget Entertainment 2010 with Danish subtitles (think this is similar to the Norwegian edition, they have similar artwork)   I read in another forum about different running times (ie. edited episodes) of the sets, for example Episode 4: Acorn 51:04, Dutch 52:01. I checked the Norwegian, it’s 52:33 (maybe because it includes the “Part 2/3” cards with short music?)   Knut       From: Scott Filderman via Afamilyatwar-list  Sent: Friday, June 01, 2018 5:59 PM To: Scott Filderman via Afamilyatwar-list  Subject: [Afamilyatwar-list] DVD Sets     As far as I know, there are only two DVD sets of AFAW, one on Acorn Media (no subtitles) and the other on Just Entertainment (removable Dutch subtitles). The Acorn set is available for Region 1 (USA) and Region 2 (which includes all Europe). The JE set is just for Europe. There is also a Region 4 (Australia/New Zealand) set, which appears to be the same as the Acorn set, as it has the same number of DVDs: 22. The JE set is 16. The Region 4 set has the ITV logo in the upper left corner.   Does anyone on this far-flung listserv have any other information?
