    I am having trouble finding where to select optional cgi effects (or not) for terror of the autons on the menu – I have the standard edition and was wondering if (despite it saying on the back of the case) it actually hasn’t got the option and just has the new effects version on this standard set only.

      Should be under special features. It gives you the option to turn them on and off

      Thanks very much Gordon. Genius. Found it.
      Seems it doesn’t show if playing an episode and using the menu (which is what I was doing), but stopping the playback, going to Top Menu then the option appears in that special features section as you said.

    One of those bizarre coincidences in life, I was watching Terror of the Autons yesterday and then a little later watched the finale of Taskmaster on Channel 4, and obviously Frankie Boyle had the story somewhere in the back of his mind …

    Could I ask if anyone who has bought the standard edition is experiencing what may be a fault with the discs? I have on the first 2 stories, at least, faint white lines down the entire left hand of the picture. These do seem to become much less noticeable during dark scenes. Thanks in advance.

    Thats me up to date. Bought seasons 24,17 and 22 cheap. The way they are knocking these out might not have that long 2 year wait as it seems to have been the filmed documentaries and location films that were being held back due to the pandemic and also actor availability. If theres a new announcement by the end of the year we might not have to wait until june next year for season 24 in standard.

    I’ve just preordered this, but it’s saying I won’t get it until the 19th and not the date of release

      Ignore that, it’s a standard thing with Amazon chances are it will arrive on the release date. Presuming the release date doesn’t change anyway.

      There are 3 days of strikes Monday 14 to Wednesday 16 November which might affect Royal Mail deliveries.

      Amazon generally don’t use royal mail though so it should not their deliveries. All other companies may be affected though
