Wombles Disk Error
Review date: 2008-06-10 Rating: 4 out of 10
Following on from Mr. P. R. Clarke's review (27 May 2008), I contacted Abbey Home Media regarding this title and they replied on May 28th as follows:
"There was indeed found to be an error with the manufacture of both discs in 'The Wombles Complete Collection' boxset. Abbey Home Media were made aware of this problem on release and notified all retailers immediately.
This problem has now been rectified and we have been advised by the manufacturer to expect delivery of new stock this week."

Missing episode
Review date: 2008-06-03 Rating: 2 out of 10
I would give the Wombles itself a 5, but this dvd is badly authored.
The episode "A Sticky Ending" is missing and they duplicated "Madame Cholet Returns".
Most of the episodes are in the wrong order, so if you click on an episode title, you get a different episode.
Very disappointing. I hope that the makers resolve this issue and replace these faulty dvds.
complete?

Apparently one episode is missing and another duplicated.
What I do notice is that the episodes are not in order and when you click on the episodes by the episode selection menu, you are not taken to that particular episode but a completely different one.
Terrible DVD authoring, and obviously not tested before released to the public.
It's a shame as this was one show that was crying out for a DVD release and has become an embaressing shambles
