    Do all sets with the correct prints have the correct audio?

    As I originally missed the release, I got it pre owned on eBay. Excellent condition!!!

    However it was sent with replacement discs and the originals, I don’t know which is which lol.
    Anyone know the exact “audio” faults on revenge?

    Thanks! 🙂

      It’s quicker to check the spelling of Michael Wisher’s name. If his surname is spelt incorrectly, it’s the original faulty disc. (Think it was “Wiaher” on part 1.)

    It doesn’t feature all the DVD features. For example the Dalek tapes.

      The Dalek tapes will probably move to a move appropriate boxset so perhaps it might move to the Daleks disc in season 1

    • Gordon

      January 9th, 2021 - 12:19pm

      Everything will be included eventually. They are moving things to more appropriate places. For example Christopher Barry: director was originally on creature from the pit and has been moved to the daemons which is far more appropriate for that documentary. Think dalek tapes will be on season 1 or quite possibly season 25. It would be a great companion piece to the davros connections documentary

      They said to me that as long as you bought it from a genuine retailer and have proof of purchase they’ll replace the discs. I got mine off ebay so they wont replace them but I’m just happy to have a copy so I’m not bothered.

    • Tom Press

      Yes i contacted BBC DVD Support and showed them proof of purchase, then they sent me out a new set of discs in standard BluRay case 🙂

      Ages ago, my copy came with discs using the Season 10 art but the BBC did (eventually) send me replacements and I got to keep the misprinted discs so you’re actually lucky as you will end up with two copies of Season 12

    • Sanj

      November 29th, 2020 - 10:16pm

      Follow up….

      Contacted the [email protected] email and they are doing a disc exchange. They said it will take some time with Covid but they have my details and will send out replacements at some point.

      I did check the discs i have and they do contain season 12, just the image on the discs is season 10.

      Zoom will probably just offer a refund but I’m disappointed to see they are still selling this with the wrong discs.

    I wish they would re-release these in standard Blu-ray cases, like the US editions, don’t like the big clunky boxes.

      You could always buy them and put them in normal cases. Or get the Region Free USA editions.

      I buy them partly because of the packaging/artwork and exclusive booklet. I do have space to display them with cover facing forward though.

      November 16th, 2020 - 4:00pm

      I would imagine they will re-release all of the box-sets in standard cases at some point in the future.

      Are there any differences between the first release and the second one that can help identify which one it is when it arrives? Are the barcodes the same? Thanks 🙂

      November 14th, 2020 - 10:02am

      The 2nd edition does have “2nd EDITION” printed on the card base so easy to check on arrival, this zoom listing is for the re-release.

      I have also ordered one so figures crossed

      Guessing they found some in the warehouse.

      Could be ones supposed to be returned to BBC but even if they do have Season 10 artwork on the discs at least you can still get them replaced.

      Glad those who missed out have a chance as they are still going for £60+ on eBay.

      Roll on Season 8.

      I cant wait for the next set, check here most days in the hope we will see a nice new collection artwork pop up. Dont mind which season if im honest as its been so long.

      This extra stock is fabulous news for anyone who missed out.

    This is a bit late but I recently bought season12, opened it to discover the season 10 artwork on the discs. Who did you contact for replacement discs and at which department ?
    The wrong disc art is really annoying.

    • Ryan

      July 23rd, 2020 - 4:18pm

      Emailed the bbc as a new enquiry, turns out the person who I was dealing with has been moved to another department and someone else replied asking for my details again with proof of purchase and was told that I should get them next week so here’s hoping it will be sorted now
