Which DVD's in all series have the best commentaries

Nice to know I'm not alone, Forever Secret! I am just an insufferable snob about it, I suppose. I find that actors tend to start telling periferal stories (certainly very humorous and entertaining) and the next thing you know 3 more scenes are gone and you have learned nothing about the process. I really like and I want to know about the process. And to be fair to them, the process isn't their job.

Andrew Woodhead is great on audio commentary. He talks enough but not too much. I like Howard Brenton's commentaries too. My feeling when I listen to both of them is that they don't feel like they "have" to say something and fill every moment. But I also find Rupert Walters to be fascinating as well. The director that sticks in my brain is Cilla Ware on 3.3 and 3.4 but that is probably because she is one of the two female directors they have had. Her commentary is pretty entertaining.
