A Collection of Wonders (BBC - Brian Cox)

[Indiana Jones]

Received my copy of the 3 series boxset today from BBCShop, just over £26 delivered thanks to the 10% discount code they are currently running.

Never caught more than 'Wonders of the Solar System' but always meant to so thought this was the best way to enjoy the series.

I was hoping someone could confirm what audio spec 'Wonders of the Universe' had when it was released last year as I was told recently it should have DTS-HD HR but the copy I received in the set is just DD2.0

For those wondering its just a cardboard box housing 3 individual amaray cases and not a fancy foldout digipack or anything.

Are they the standard 14mm UK amarays?

It's the Wonders Of The Universe Special Edition that has the DTS HD HR 5.1

Yep they are just the individual releases in a box.

Thanks for confirming that, guess I either stick with this set or sell it on and buy the Solar System/Universe SE and Life sets separately.

Is Wonders of Life DTS2.0 by any chance?

Pretty Impressive, shame about the DTS-HD MA 2.0, would have loved surround sound.
