Since PBS had the original set and aired in edited in the US, they likely had to distinguish that they were the original versions, not their edited versions.

Whether you're looking for a specific series/season, or a complete DVD box set collection, then we can do the hard work for you!

the black and white box is slimmer, but you have stacked discs, similar to how Paramount and Universal have been releasing their complete series DVD sets. 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. There were several EU/Uk boxsets released in 2020 but as far as I can tell, none of them have S1 or 2 at 1080/50 unless the specs listed on the boxset are incorrect. Some of them are loyal to the family and committed to Downton as a way of life, others are moving through on the lookout for betterment or love or just adventure.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.

In the third series, with the war finally over, the 1920s heralds the promise of a new age for those at Downton Abbey.

The new Universal sets, though also has 21 discs, are NEWLY PRESSED EDITIONS with different special features and episode breakdowns (with the new Universal format menu and all).

Moving to 1080p/24 is a different animal though as long as it's pitch corrected I have a hard time telling the difference on the video and dialog even watching side by side. It's funny, I grew up thinking all British TV had the "soap opera" look, from watching shows on PBS as a kid, until I learned that it was merely an artifact of the PAL-NTSC conversion.

If a certain box did use the edited episodes at some point, it would only be an older not complete set.There are lots of releases throughout Europe but it's so hard to find out if any of them are in the proper framerate.
