I'm trying to get confirmation of exactly what extras are included in the UK (for season 1) but I'm having no luck at all!

The back of the box lists:
- The Making of Criminal Minds
- Meet Matthew Gray Gubler
- Deleted Scenes

The DVDTimes announcement (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=63556) lists:
- The Making of Criminal Minds (25:04)
- Meet Matthew Gray Gubler (13:49)
- Deleted Scenes
- Easter Eggs:
Stage Tour (2:35)
Goobie Awards (4:00)

In addition it appears that the bbfc have certified the 3 episode commentaries that also appear on the R1 set, which has the following extras (info from dvdtalk (http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=25236) and tvshowsondvd) (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=6477):
- Audio commentaries on episodes "Extreme Aggressor", "Derailed" & "Riding the Lightning"
- Five deleted scenes
- The Making of Criminal Minds
- Inside Quantico & the Criminal Mind
- Meet Matthew Gray Gubler
- Stage Tour
- Goobie Awards


So, do we get the commentaries in the UK? Are all the featurettes and easter eggs the same in R1 and R2?
Some people must own either version of this set? Can anyone confirm the specs? :shrug:
Many thanks! :)

Not if you know where to buy! ;)

What I really want to do is get this for the weekend but for £5 more to get less I just can't bring myself to buy the UK set (even though I could take it home tonight). I know that's bonkers but it annoys me that we maybe don't get everything, which is why I really need confirmation from someone who has bought the UK set! Not that I'm obsessive or anything! :nuts:
:help: :cuckoo:

Thanks for the offer GPR but I'm going to hold off for a little longer I think. I'm sure you'll sell it no probs though!

Right, I have the answer!
The only extra missing on the R2 is the 13 minute "Inside Quantico & the Criminal Mind" (which is annoying as it sounds rather interesting from reading the US reviews).
The 3 episode commentaries are included (although they are not mentioned on the outer box they are listed on the thin cases within).
The 6th disc holds all the other extras (including the 2 easter eggs).
It's a real shame the UK misses that one featurette as that's the one I most want to see! Typical!

People really are buying this? I’m not saying it’s bad as I watch it myself but it’s definitely one of those shows where if I miss an ep it doesn’t upset me at all. Doesn’t seem to be anything at all original about it which is a shame as Mandy Patinkin is a fine actor and he seems to be on autopilot in this. Perhaps he’s as traumatised as I am at there being no more "Dead Like Me"!
