A Grand Day Out poster

Best English-Friendly:

2009 Lionsgate US or Britain 2 Entertain OOP Blu-ray

Best Video:

The BBC 4K collection and Shout Factory 4K collection all use the same source, and are all unfortunately using AI upscaling and DNR'ed They are worse than the blurays and the 2023 US Shout Factory collections are even prone to disc-rot.

2009 Lionsgate US (also prone to disc-rot) or Britain 2 Entertain OOP Blu-ray will be the way to go.

The 4K collection's Blu-ray seems to be a reprint of previous releases.

Best Audio:

None of the 4K, nor any of the 2009 Blu-ray has the correct pitch see https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=364711&page=8
