Bleak House

I've recently found a copy of the BBC's Bleak House on BD selling at a pretty decent price and was wondering whether it was worth upgrading from my SD copy (3 disc special edition). As I cannot find a review of the BD edition, anywhere, I was wondering if the difference between an upscaled SD and the BD copy warrents a purchase? Can anyone out there with a copy of Bleak House on BD give their views.

I haven't seen Bleak House on BD, but I have seen it on BBC HD (via Sky) and the picture quality there was really very good indeed. I would expect the BD version to be even better.

Well, the HD DVD version is excellent.

Re: Bleak House

As I like the production so much I've gone ahead and ordered a copy. Even if the difference between upscaled SD and BD is small I will at least be happy in the knowledge that I have the best version (picture-wise) that is available.
