Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Love it BUT... the Blue Ray DVD is an edited version of the PBS Masterpiece broadcast version. It's still a great telling of a visually stunning love story and affirmation of the interconnectedness of women in history. While the parts edited out, may some people's mind, not be essential to the plot. I cannot support that notion. I purchased the DVD as the "Full UK" version thinking there could be more scenes not less. When I purchased the Full UK version of Poldark last year, I got the additional scenes - scenes that were not broadcast on my local PBS Station. I wish the FULL VERSION could be defined. I also thank PBS / Masterpiece for broadcasting Victoria in full version WISH they'd do the same for Poldark. Here's the challenge... The cut pieces add depth to the characters and the story. For example, in Episode 4 after the Victoria & Albert's wedding, when trying on the Queens floral head band and Mr. Francatill walks in. She explains to Mr.Francatelli. "the Queen wants these dipped in wax before the flowers fade" and Mr. Francatelli responds, "Don't you want to get out of here before you fade?" In the DVD version all you see is her crying the "bonnet room" but on the PBS Broadcast version you see Herr Lohlein (Prince Albert's valet) comes in and comfort here, offer her a handkerchief and says to her in German, "I think you are safe here". A very tender moment that gives weight to the choices Miss Skerritt is faced with... I'd like to find a FULL VERSION DVD.
