Region 4 Winners and Losers

     Note that Prohibition was originally aired on American TV provider PBS in three episodes: A Nation of Drunkards, A Nation of Scofflaws, and A Nation of Hypocrites. The version that SBS acquired for screening in Australia has the three episodes split into five, and this is represented in the DVD content – although oddly enough the DVD inside cover only names three episodes: A Nation of Drunkards, Scofflaws, and Murder and Mayhem. As far as I am aware the content remains the same with the only difference being the episode splits and disc menu authoring. Prohibition is available in Region 1 DVD (3 discs) and Region A Blu-ray (3 discs) with the original three episodes presented as aired on PBS. There is also additional content including interview material and extra scenes with the Blu-ray also having a featurette In the Studio with Florentine Films and a 5.1 Dolby Digital audio track. The Prohibition enthusiast would probably prefer these options.
