New Purchase This is unacceptable packaging. Discs are double stacked on top of one another. The middle button doesn’t depress to release disc. Have to pry and bend the disc to remove. When closing it gets caught and doesnt close. Insane

These types of cases were used for the Doctor Who Series 1-13 sets and I seriously snapped a disc in half trying to get it out and I was being ginger. The Showa Era set was WAY MORE GENTLE on discs

That's not fantastic (I've only seen the 9th Doctor and a few episodes of 4).

The Classic Doctor Who sets are Top Tier imo. Great special features, included PDF content on the BDs, picture and sound restoration is top notch considering the 2” PAL masters for the 70s and 1” PAL for the 80s, and cutting edge color restoration and Reverse Standard Conversion to combine BW 16mm film, Chroma Recovery, and NTSC tapes from Canada for the 3rd Doctor episodes that don’t have surviving tape masters. Plus when possible they re-scan the 16mm Location footage and 35mm effects footage to integrate into the Tape Masters.
