Yes, mine was saying a Thursday date for delivery from Amazon, but that all changed this morning and my copy of the Season 2 set has just been delivered!
Looks great and can’t wait to get into it this evening!

I finally have it!!! Despite amazon's best efforts to the contrary after delivering it to 61 instead of 16 and sticking it behind their wheelie bin so they only found it this morning. Luckily it was just a cold night and not a wet one. Anyway I found it a bit odd there's no behind the sofa for planet of giants. Unless it's on the next disk. Don't think they've skipped a story before. Or did they record it and just find it uninteresting.

There isn’t Behind the Sofa for every story.
I think it’s because there are nine.

There are nine discs. I think they had to think carefully to keep the price reasonable.

If anyone's looked at the 2 surviving Crusade episodes & the 4 Time Meddler episodes yet, it'd be interesting to hear if they look noticeably better on the new Collection blu ray set than their previous incarnations on L.I.T. And if so, the nature of any improvement.
I realise it's only been released a few days ago so people may well not have got to those episodes so far. Has anyone seen them & have an opinion about this? If so, I'd love to hear it please.

I've only watched The Crusade 1 so far and it looks amazing. Alot of the scratches have been repaired, the bad stratching in the centre right of the image that starts at around 9 minutes is just visible. The overall picture quality is much sharper than the version on lost in time.

The overall picture quality is much sharper than the version on lost in time. Thanks Rich Hughes! That sounds very promising about The Lion. If I remember right; previously there was a sort of noticeable warping of the visual field in some of it - has this been corrected or reduced at all? Thanks again for your reply - that's great news, sounds like there's been some really excellent improvements. Incidentally, two comments back in this thread, when I said The Crusade episodes I meant to say just The Lion ie. episode 1 (as the other surviving episode was in quite good nick anyway).

The Wheel of Fortune is absolutely stunning on the S2 blu-ray and we are lucky to have it,even though episodes 2 and 4 are missing.

And BBC studios have gone to the trouble of producing production notes for all 4 episodes which is wonderful! The rift that developed between Douglas Camfield and Dudley Simpson over the latter's earnings is particularly heartbreaking and meant that Camfield used stock music for his stories rather than Durley Simpson's original scores.

Fascinating new interview with Maureen O’Brien by Matthew Sweet on the Season 2 set. She just won’t take credit for her acting will she? Such an amazing and varied career, working with some fantastic people. I hope she gets to a point where she can look back and be proud of what she has done as she certainly should be.

Season 9 next. Think Time monster and sea devil's are the only ones out of this set that would of needed any real restoration from a ME prospective
