I have a 4 disc USA version that is 1080p throughout. There is alot of confusion over this title as there seems to be at least 3 versions floating about.

USA - BBC 4 disc
USA - Discovery
UK - 5 discs (1 DVD)

I don't think the 1080p adds anything to the resolution of the actual picture. It would be interesting to see if anyone can confirm if the 1080p has more detail than the 1080i version. Personally I think its upscaled to 1080p.

You can tell which parts of the footage are not HD. Its very soft and blurry and only accounts for <5% of the whole production.
