I read Paul Mavis's DVD review of Monarchy with David Starkey: The Complete Series at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=43729 and...

This new set is NOT a simple repackaging of the previously-released Acorn sets. The old sets had 11 episodes total (6 episodes on Set 1, 5 episodes on Set 2), while Monarchy: The Complete Series contains all 16 episodes from the first three series as broadcast in the UK. So, this set has five episodes of "new to the US" content.

Also, I e-mailed Acorn about the single-episode Series 4 which brought the series to the present and received the following response:

"Yes, there is an episode in Series 4 dealing with modern times. However, the essence of the program is a focus on the historical tale of the monarchs. The 1 episode was pretty much a one-off and not part of the actual series so it wasn't included in our release."

I didn't review Set 1, so I wasn't as familiar with it as Set 2 (which I did write about).

Thanks for the heads up! I'll amend the review.
