All in all, this is a very nice package and I look forward to looking at the future releases from Acorn Media. I recommend this release as a purchase to fans of the series, while others will want to give it a rent beforehand. The Pallisers is presented in a full frame transfer, which retains the original aspect ratio of the series. While I am pleased with the overall quality involved, the transfer does have some issues which lower the score. The fault seems to lie with the source materials and since restoration would be expensive and unjustified financially, I will cut Acorn Media some slack on this one.
Colors usually appear bright, but again some muting is present because of grain on the source print.
The same holds with contrast, which sometimes is brightened too much because of the source materials. But on the whole, this is better than VHS or broadcast and that should be enough for fans of the show. If you're looking for audio power, dialogue driven BBC television shows aren't the solution you're after. But this release still sounds excellent and I found very little to complain about. This is a dialogue heavy release though, so the vocals are the central element in the mix.
