Great stuff - the region 1 release has subtitles!!! *Does a little dance and pats region free PS2* Laughing
Now I'll just have to wait for it to get cheaper once again.... *grins*
I wonder if anyone over across the way would swap for a region 2 version.... ho hum...

OMG - We didn't realise Region one had subtitles! We heard there was some kind of 'slang' dictionary included - which makes sense when you think about it!

About time some subtitles were put on the DVD's. I wonder if future series 2 editions might now also include them? Would make sense if R1 are doing it - and boost sales for them again!

I have series 1 with subtitles and it does help. I know english is english, but this American had a hard time with the accents and the softness of the voices from time to time and then again there's the use of words like snog, jellies, etc. that I had no idea what they meant.

I got series 1-5 on ebay (region 2), but when series one was released in the US I thought it would be interesting to watch with subtitles, I will admit that I fast forward to only the Helen and Nikki stuff.

Hey OWH! Very Happy *waves*
Have to agree with you - I admit I sometimes fast forward through until we get to the H&N bits... but then I do like the other story lines, esp with Linda Henry!
So would you recommend buying it then? There aren't as much features are there?

No I wouldn't recommend buying it, there's no outtakes and the interviews are just printed text, no Simone or Mandana talking like in the UK version. Only buy it if you really want the subtitles.

Where are you located?

That's really wierd - why take so long to produce it when it doesn't have the full extra content?! Hmm....
Am in the UK. I already have the region 2 boxes of the first 3 seasons, but would really like them with subbies!
Do you have any idea when Season 2 & 3 are going to come out over there?

I heard it was going to be another year for series 2, but I just read that on a different message board so I don't know for sure.

Does your DVD player play region 1 DVD's?

Yep - well, it's a PS2 with a region free disc, but works well!
Bummer about the long delay... but maybe they will then do the extras as well? *Doesn't hold breath*!!

the subtitles are nice, especially for us silly yanks. though i am proud to say that i've only needed to use 'em once or twice. the extra suck though. and waiting a whole year for season two? i broke down and ordered the region 2 dvd. i can watch it on my computer, even though i hate doing that. watching films, or tv programs for that matter, on the computer is just wrong! but at least it's better than watching crappy pixelated clips.

You can get a multi region dvd player from World Imports in Chicago, that's were I ordered mine so I could watch the series, it was approx. 130.00 not too bad, and well worth it. And since I'm so pathetic (and I travel a lot) I ordered the multi region portable dvd player also, but that was a bit more pricey, but it's hard to be away too long without a Helen and Nikki fix.

You didn't graduate from Boston U, did you? My niece just started there last year. Sorry about the financial part, I know what a pain it is to watch it on your computer, I watched all three series on my computer because I used an editing program to edit all the Nikki & Helen scenes together in one long movie.

I used a program called Ulead, it really was very easy to use, but I had to get a larger hard drive to handle the amount of room needed to edit three or four episodes down to one. I'm hoping to use it to make some music videos re Helen and Nikki. Have you seen some of the ones that have already been done? I take that back, you shouldn't watch them if you're only on series two unless you don't mind knowing what happens.

How did you find out about Bad Girls? There doesn't seem to be to much interest in the US.

oh, i know wwhat happens in season three - i've seen most of the snogging clips and read the synopsis. I heard about Bad Girls through afterellen.com. They reviewed it when it was released here. I wasn't actually sure if I would enjoy it because, in my desperation to watch anything with lesbians, i have come across some REALLY crappy stuff. of course, i fell madly in love with it. and simone. sigh....i hate the fact that i'm three years behind!!
