The DVD set comes in a very attractive & sturdy box with a very professional appearance. A pity the contents are not the same! The 9 DVD's are located in cheep, tacky sleeves, and whilst the DVD's themselves have great artwork and don't look at all like copies, the contents of the said DVD's say otherwise.
With obvious sections cut and badly spliced,-irremovable subtitles, and to cap it all, a TV production/company logo present on all the recordings! This is an indication, to me, that these episodes may have been recorded from satellite TV or another unofficial source. Whatever the case may be, the quality of the picture is very good, but the way the DVD's are compiled is poor.
Problems with DVD player compatibility are a main issue also. After trying 4 DVD players and viewing a very unstable black and white picture on each of them, I found the xbox360 to play them perfectly!
Understandably, I thought I was getting an official 'special' DVD set when purchasing, as it is an attractive package. Unfortunately, I find it hard to believe that anything of this overall poor quality, has come from an official source.
If all this can be ignored and you are just interested in watching the episodes, then the DVD's do just that, albeit, with a few cut sections here and there.
On other official season box sets, extras are available and the entire collection is put together superbly, with episode description booklet and extra DVD interactive content on each DVD. Non of which is present on this DVD season set!
Seller Insists they are genuine! - I have doubts, but being no expert, who am I to argue?
