Doctor Who S2 (2005) Problems with DVDs?

rfduncan · 01-23-07, 02:15 PM

I just rented disc 1 & 2 from Netflix. Disc 1 contains 2 episodes - "The Christmas Invasion" and "New Earth". I had an odd problem about 30 minutes into "New Earth". The picture broke up and when it came back it was the middle of what looked to be The Texas Chainsaw Masacre: The Beginning. I sent it back and complained to Netflix that the disc had an authoring issue. Since then, they have pulled the entire season from their site and my queue. So were all the S2 sets messed up?

If you own this and haven't watched it yet, I would advise you to at least get through the 1st two episodes in case this is an issue!

I've watched some of the special features on this, but I haven't checked those episodes. Thanks for the heads up!
