I occassionally order DVD's and BluRays from Amazon.uk. Today I noticed that a Downton Abbey "Christmas special" is available. From the description, it obviously takes place after season two, but before season three. (Describing how I know would involve a spoiler for those who have not seen season two.) Has anyone seen this. (No spoilers, please.)
********************
Some pricing info (confusion): The BluRay copy is region free. You can order it from Amazon or Amazon.uk, but it is considerably cheaper if you order from Amazon.uk. (If you have never ordered from there, you use the same user name and password as if you were ordering from Amazon over here.) You can also order the DVD from either and the price is about the same either way. Fair warning, however. The only DVD available currently is the European edition. That means that you have to have a DVD player that not only plays DVD's from that region, but converts PAL signals to the American TV standard. (I do have that, but most people do not.)
Finally, one reviewer claims that the Christmas special will be included in the season two DVD edition whenever that is released in America. That is not true for the season two edition that was released in England. However, it might be included in the season three edition. That was the practice with, for example, Lark Rise to Candleford. That puts me in a spot. Do I order the Christmas special as a stand alone so that I can see it sooner or wait until season three is over in England and order that?
