As you mention the real cost is in the Licensing of the show, and not really the physical cost of discs and distribution (though they're not negligible). Basically it comes down to pure economics as smaller companies like FF need to pay large fees to license the show for UK distribution. Blu Ray sets of Murder She Wrote won't fly off the shelves at any price as the market is limited so they need to make a return on investment as they have a lot of fixed costs to cover with low sales. Hence the high RRP compared to US released of the same shows.

Here's an interview with one of the people from Fabulous Films which touches on this topic. http://www.dvdcompare.net/features/f..._interview.php
