<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif">I have not been reading the detailed posts about missing material (I want to avoid “spoilers,” even though I have watched the entire series), but it is surprising and
disturbing to learn that the Acorn sets – which are the ones I have – are missing material that is in the Netherlands set. You would think it would be the other way around.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif">On Amazon, the Netherlands set says it runs for 2860 minutes, compared with the Acorn’s 2563 minutes. If those figures are accurate, that is a very substantial difference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif">The Netherlands set compresses the episodes into 16 disks rather than 22. Have you found that to create any problems?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
