Q about Back to Earth DVDs

For those of you who've seen both the regular release and the director's cut, which is better? Since I vid, I'd think that all the scenes I could get would be best and am leaning toward getting the original release, but if the director's cut is better, I'd rather get that. Is the only difference that some of the lines were cut, specifically about it being a 3-parter and Rimmer hating those? Or were there more changes?

*yeah, still not getting the dishes done*

My DVD also has both versions - the Director's Cut is definitely better because the story flows more naturally. The only difference is the removal of the recaps at the start of parts 2 and 3.

Doug commentates on the Director's Cut and the actors on the 3-part version. There are also lots of lovely extras. :)
