Maybe if C4 had shown it in January, as they originally planned to, we
might have got a full season box set by now, much like with 24, I doubt
it would be as cheap as £32 though.

Like you said Owen, thank God for multi-region players :-)

I mean, FFS you could buy a new supermarket multi-region player and the
R1 box set for pretty much what people are expected to pay for just the
R2 full season.
