Format:DVD
Check the Internet Movie Database where these episodes are listed as lasting 120 minutes. PBS has chopped them down to 90 minutes although some sources claim ONLY 10 minutes has been hacked off. It was particularly noticeable in Fearful Symmetries where the episode seemed so badly edited that it was at that point that I decided to see if it had originally been longer. Yes, it had. It is a pity that the original is not available. Very disappointing. Amazon Prime only gives the 90-minute version. PBS and Amazon both ought to do better.

Format:DVD
There is a serious lack of clarity in the first three reviews of the "Inspector Lewis" series.
I own the Series One through Four of the UK versions, released by ITV Studios, [...].
Series Four includes the four episodes:
The Dead of Winter
Dark Matter
Your Sudden Death Question
Falling Darkness
These are not the episodes in Series Five of the USA release, as described in the Amazon editorial comment.
Hope this helps decision makers. FWIW, the UK versions play wonderfully on my Pioneer DV-220KV-K all-region DVD player
which I purchased from an Amazon partner especially to play "Inspector Lewis".
To be able also to view the PAL version of "Blythe Spirit" is a great joy!

Format:Blu-ray
This is the American blu ray of season 5 of Inspector Lewis by PBS. The numbering for the British and American releases of Inspector Lewis series are numbered differently. If you see the PBS on the DVD or the Blu Ray, you have the American version.
I have all of the Inspector Lewis and Inspector Morse sets, which are an outstanding series.
The PAL DVD set is always cheaper than the American DVD, and sometimes a better picture. The American blu ray is better than the British Blu Ray, by a little bit. The British Blu Ray is usually close in price, unless there is a price cut, then British Blu Ray is usually will cost less until the American blu ray does the same price cut.
I agree with most people, we do pay more for our DVD sets(American) than British DVD. It does pay to have a region free DVD player.
I will be buying this new blu ray set, season 5 of Inspector Lewis by PBS when the price decreases.
Later Add:
I bought the Blu Ray set, region A/1. This is the US/Canada reqion. Picture and sound are outstanding. The show is always tops.

Excellent Mystery Series!
Inspector Lewis series 5 was as good as always. No real surprises, just more intense mysteries and sometimes more than one mystery at the same time. I highly recommend it.

Inspector Lewis is Great
This is a great series. I bought the first 4 series when I was in Scotland. Amazon prime allowed me to update myself on the series. Excellent download! Clear and great picture.

Great characters!
I love all the characters on this show and even Oxford itself seems like a living breathing character. Good performances always both from regular cast and guest villains. Read more
