Luther Netflix/Amazon Prime Running Time

Been catching up on the first three series of Luther.

Got Netflix and Amazon and did a quick test and the picture quality was slightly better on Amazon, so stuck with them.

Noticed the running time was only around 52 minutes not the 58/59 minutes of the original BBC showings. After Googling, discovered that Netflix/Amazon are showing an export version cut to allow commercial breaks. They don't have previously/next time.

Anyway, started season three last night and the running time was nearly 58 minutes and the episode had previously/next time. So good news.

Had a peek at Netflix and season three is still 52 minutes.

Just about to start watching Luther on Netflix and noticed the shortened running time. Now I'm wondering what I'll miss and whether to source the episodes elsewhere.. It's a shame BBC Worldwide have not provided the original cut for commercial-free providers.

I don't know, but five minutes per episode is quite a lot.

An example. In the first episode of season two it had Pam Ferris in the closing credits, but she didn't appear.

I suppose I could put a full length episode from season three from Amazon on my tablet and a cut one from Netflix on my TV and compare!!
