There are documentaries and cast interviews that are shown on BBC3 (a digitial channel) immediately after the Saturday evening show and then this are reused as extras on the DVD. Casanova was also relatively quick to DVD. The first DVD I can remember being issued half-way through the running series in the UK was Lost though so this might be a trend originating with HBO who obviously have an interest in selling their shows overseas.
