Place of Execution

Place of Execution is a really good mini series from the BBC, broadcast in this country in the Masterpiece Theatre series on PBS; and that is the problem.

It is more than a good series it is excellent but it could have done without the sticky fingers of PBS. It has been censored and that is something I didn't expect from Netflix.

I hate to watch something produced by the BBC and see that some of the words have been dubbed out - it looks ridiculous.

It would have been better had the DVD been made by the BBC and at the end we get a stream of credits telling is who at WGBH Boston made such a mess of it.

Wide screen or full screen

I'm just a regular Netflix user and I've been using Netflix for nearly as long as it has existed; I don't want instant this or instant that; I like to watch on my TV not my computer or directly onto my TV - I love receiving the envelopes and watching the movies with the light out just like - or as close as I can get it - the cinema.
But the movies I will not watch are the ones that have been pan and scanned to full screen; I want to watch as the director intended in wide screen. I have received various movies which have turned up as full screen and I just put them back into the envelope and return to Netflix.
Today I looked for Full Metal Jacket and Bonnie and Clyde - both are full screen so I'm not ordering them.
What I would like to know is am I in the minority or the majority and if in the majority why do they even bother to make them in full screen in the first place - those days have gone.
