Fans settling down to enjoy a Doctor Who US rental DVD were treated
to scenes from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, UK
tabloid The Sun reports.
According to the paper, "a manufacturing blunder led to
footage of a maniac hacking off limbs appearing midway through an
episode seen by hundreds of families". The Doctor Who
episode in question was New Earth - the first installment of series
two - dispatched by Netflix postal DVD rental service.
A BBC "insider" explained the cock-up may have happened because
"both DVDs were made at the same time for release on the same
day".
A BBC statement explained: "Due to a manufacturing problem,
Disc One of the Netflix copies of 'Doctor Who: The Complete Second
Series' DVD collection contains incorrect footage from another
film. The special features section on Disc One is also inaccessible
on rented Netflix copies.
"This error is only found on Disc One of Netflix copies of the
series, not on any Doctor Who DVDs available for purchase in
stores. We are doing our best to rectify this problem as
soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience or
distress."
