May 4th, 2024 - 9:13amI 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.

May 4th, 2024 - 10:46amShould be under special features. It gives you the option to turn them on and off

May 4th, 2024 - 10:22pmThanks 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.

June 2nd, 2023 - 11:39amOne 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 …

December 1st, 2022 - 10:29amCould 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.

October 6th, 2022 - 11:14amThats 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.

October 6th, 2022 - 4:05amI’ve just preordered this, but it’s saying I won’t get it until the 19th and not the date of release
Anomie
October 6th, 2022 - 9:43amIgnore 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.
