Dutch DVD releases

Not that odd, because A-Film stated that it was re-release. But that they went to the trouble of redesigning the box.

I hadn't even noticed it was a Peel-season, because I hadn't recognized her on the cover picture.

I received this set too, and it has French credits

Here some samples:

The subtitles are removable, language is English.

This is a HUGE disappointment, finally subtitles but with the French titles.

Oh no! That is so annoying!

Luckily series 2 hasn't got that.

Well I am not going to be buying it now.

I'm gonna think about it for a while too now. I want the proper credits, not the French ones.
BTW I don't even get it, why would they use the French credits anyway if the episodes are in English?
Just typical to have everything messed up..

My thoughts exactly, and I'm quite disappointed.

Strange!

Are the episodes at least complete? For example, the French version of "Castle De'ath" runs only hardly 48 minutes, whereas the English original runs almost 50 minutes.

In the episode, "Silent Dust", the text in the wanted poster in Steed's nightmare, is in French only.

In the episode, "The Girl From Auntie", there are several cuts - two scenes (Steed's conversation with Ivanov and the announcement for tea time in the knitting circle) are even mixed together!

(But I'm still looking forward to the first German box set announced for 22nd February, 2009 anyway!

)

"Castle De'ath" runs 48 minutes, the wanted posters are in French, and the running time of "The Girl From Auntie" is 49:08.
