Don't know about the transfer, but extras wise all they seem to have done is replace the Cathedral video with a Reeves short film.

I'm getting my coat and i will shut the door as i leave, but i would prefer the Cathedral video.

Hmm, most of the extras must be BD exclusive then, which is no problem for me!

Thats all the Odeon site lists.

I know, I just saw on their site and Play.

I'm not really bothered as I already have a BD player but I can imagine how annoying it is (or not) for those who haven't.

In truth i wouldn't buy the dvd again just for a commentary. When i do eventually upgrade to BD Witchfinder General will be one of the first to be replaced its just so brilliant.

I've only seen it once and didn't really rate it but, to be fair I wasn't in a particularly good mood when I watched it.
