Hi-
First of all, I'm new around here so hello everyone. I'm a new fan of Simone's-I started watching Bad Girls on BBC America and thought she was a great actress. Now for my question. I'm looking at buying Bad Girls on dvd. I see that it is available on region 1 but it doesn't seem to have any extras on it whereas the region 2 version does. Since I have a multi-region player I could get either or but would prefer to get the version with the most stuff on it. For those of you who have more knowledge of the dvds or own them, which is the better choice.
Thanks again and look forward to being on the board more often.

Hiya - welcome! Very Happy
Hmm. It depends really. I want the region 1 one for its subtitles, but if you don't need that, I would go for region 2 (they can also be picked up very cheaply on ebay!)
Hope that helps!

Hi,
Also new to the Bad Girls shows and message board and I am already a huge fan. I noticed that amzon.co.uk is having a sale on the dvds region 2. They are about 75 % off on an average. I purchased seasons 1,2, and 3 for around $80 and that is including shipping and handling to the united states. I am not sure how long the sale is but is a way cool deal.

Based on the opinions I've gotten, I think I'm going with the region 2 version. I wish the region 1 versions would get with the program and include all the extras.

Hey Aniterrifan - welcome Very Happy
I'd agree with you Shasha, it's a shame R1 didn't have the special features.... equally sad that R2 doesn't have subtitles! Grrrr....

Hey Indigo thanks for the welcome. Ok so I recieved my BG region 2 DVDs within three days which I thought was way cool. I have already managed to watch all the way upto ep 10 of season two. I am totally digging the uncut versions. I ordered region one from netflix and region 2 is so much better. Indigo love the jpeg of helen and nikki

Count me in as another Yank who's ordered the Region 2 DVDs...it's a shame that the Region 1 release doesn't have the extras....but the fact that there's subtitles amuses me to no end! Laughing

But then I was raised on British telly thanks to PBS.

At this point region-free players have gotten so cheap that it's not even worth waiting for Region 1 discs anymore.

I'm going with the Region 2 as well. I just ordered a Region Free DVD player and bought the first 3 series of Bad Girls....now I won't have to wait until it all airs on BBC America. I'm excited to see all the extras. Very Happy

Does anyone know where I can purchase Seasons 1 to 3 of Bad Girls that is playable on a standard DVD made in USA? I have only found DVD's that require a special zone type DVD player. Thanks.

Unfortunately at the moment, the only available DVD's in region 1 (America and Canada) is season 1.
You can check this out at the following Amazon links.
First is the USA site:

Second is the Canadian site:
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00081U812?tag=man...X61GGQH46DCKXH&

Sorry - but at the moment there just isn't another option if you want to get the actual DVD. Although I also understand there are some clips on YouTube - but off hand I don't have a link. You could check out our Helen and Nikki board for more detailed info.
