Currently watching the dvds again - very catchy theme tune. Never remember the mini docus at the end - or did BBC delete them?

I think that they may have shown them the first time around, but not on subsequent airings.

HMV now have 3 versions for sale:HMV exclusive set (which I own) £40Gold design boxset £33Gold design boxset £55The latter two both have the same design packaging but as you can see, have different prices.

Only in the foreign versions. A guy at work didn't believe me when I told him about the Aztec human sacrifice ritual and DON'T get me started on the film Apocalypto .....

The mini docs were definitely on the Beeb airings, I remember them quite vividly. One of the first things I checked out when I got the DVDs, just to see if they were on there.

Fantastic box set. Still haven't made my way through the season 2 blu ray set though!
