Legacy's "corrected" version re-introduced the squeaky-sound pitch-shift error seen on the series 5 sets though...

Yes, I heard about that. Are they planning a V3 disc for Legacy :?: I'm sure this is now the only episode that isn't perfect. Rich.

I haven't sent my disc back for replacement yet, I think I will rip Legacy before that, and then I will remux the correct audio with the correct image.

Well, there's a massive tramline scratch up the film in "Game" starting at 20'51" (equivalent to 20'32" on prints without all the Canal twittering-brids into stuff at the start)... I don't know if it's there in the earlier releases (haven't checked yet) but it's a fault they could've fixed (but clearly didn't) in restoring the prints.

Edit: I've just checked the Contender one and it doesn't have the huge tramline. The preceding scene has lots of "dirt and sparkle" though, so over all its an improvement.
