Pighills Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 On these sorts of things I ALWAYS give the wrong information (ie: made up name and post code etc). I have an email address which I have set up and I change the address of it regularly, so I'm not bothered by their constant circulars. I have just done all of the above and successfully downloaded today's offerings (which I have saved BEFORE I open it so I can virus scan it first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Do you have the URL for the successful download. I'm trying at this address and it doesn't work.... http://www.the-practice.com/download_promo...r_download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBI Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Armed with a peg over my nose and a sick bag at the ready I did it. Naturally the vile rag went into the bin outside the Newsagents and I've washed my hands with bleach. How's that for Dunkirk Spirit? I am sure that the Mail News Group care not one Jot,as to what is done with their Publication after it has been Purchased.As for Dunkirk Spirit pray enlighten Me,If you Hate the Vile Rag so much why patronise it just to get a Freebie DVD,when the original DVD Boxed Set has already been available for Purchase for some considerable amount of Time ?...

bantamforgot Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Just on a point of interest, it is a 26 part series , parts 1/2 today & for the next three weeks, I presume that will be 18 days, (not a paper man) assuming there is a Sunday Mail , or will there be Sunday DVDs making 20 plus 2 today????? Maybe there will be two more double DVD's, anyone know??? Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marina Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Coastie, you can just save up all the vouchers from each day's papers then mail the lot to the DM office to receive the set in one go - it will just mean a few £'s postage on top. That's right - I got The World At War series that way. It took about a month to arrive but saved an awful lot of running about to Smith's.

Max Poilu Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 I don't think Sunday is included, umming and ahhing whether to get the vouchers instead and send them off. I have a Smiths 5 minutes away but I like the idea of the box and book to give away (or ebay and offset a few £'s... ) - have it in hardback as I guess most of us have a copy anyway...

George Armstrong Custer Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Remember that today's issue also contains the token to collect Monday's DVD from Smith's - in case anyone bins the paper it without cutting it out first! ciao, GAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Sounds like at least one pal will have to buy a second copy of the paper to get the voucher which he threw away outside the newsagents. Some people are just too hasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 And to add to that you will have missed a superb large format article with excellent reproduction of Great War colour photographs in the magazine section of today's Daily Mail accompanying the DVD giveaway.

I nearly forgot to ask - has anyone bothered looking in the magazine? there is another 3 pages inside which include some cracking postcards complete with background writing on them. Already done.

Len Trim Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Hi, have just finished watching the first part. Years since I last watched it. Had to smile when I realised how much of it has gone into my teaching. Phrases like the Kaiser demanding Germany's "place in the sun" and Britain having an empire on which " the sun never sets". Real classic stuff". Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Sounds like at least one pal will have to buy a second copy of the paper to get the voucher which he threw away outside the newsagents. Some people are just too hasty. As I read the details of the offer, today's token does not get you Monday's DVD - the token printed on Monday does that. Today's token is one of the 12 you need to collect to get the set for 9.99. But I am probably wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clay Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 No, Ian, you're not wrong! As if Whichever way you choose to collect the series (and for whatever reason - keep, donate, send to charity, whatever...) be thankful to D**ly M**l, say I.

Pighills Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Yep, I agree with the other two (Ian and Jim) Monday's token is for Monday's DVD. Although the series is in 26 episodes you need only collect 12 different tokens. That's one token for every two episodes of the outstanding 24 left (although the paper says it will send the entire collection of 26 episodes). So if you collect them each day presumably you'll pick up a double episode DVD - same as today's. The 12 tokens, in conjuntion with a £9.99 cheque for P & P and administration to be sent to an address to be published later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Armstrong Custer Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 Quite right, I think - that serves me right for taking what someone else posts at face value! Mea culpa! Having reread the instructions in the paper I see I got it wrong - the key is in the wording used. There's vouchers and tokens being printed. The vouchers are to be used for collecting the CD's on a daily basis at Smiths, whilst the tokens are for collecting by those who want to send off for the full set by post once they've collected 12 tokens - the first of which is in todays paper. The first voucher, on the other hand, doesn't appear 'till Monday. Apologies for my sloppy reading of these simple instructions! ciao, GAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky53 Posted 13 October , 2007 Share Posted 13 October , 2007 I had just enough time between the end of the Footie & start of Strictly Come Dancing to watch both of the 1st 2 parts. WHAT A DAY.

John_Hartley Posted 15 October , 2007 Share Posted 15 October , 2007 Those sensitive over buying the vile rag might take a nosy at ebay where, unsurprisingly, full sets of vouchers are being offered at eight or nine quid. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted 15 October , 2007 Share Posted 15 October , 2007 Having previously collected the World at War discs, it's worth mentioning that anyone hoping to send off for the discs later should be quick about it. As well as using the daily vouchers, I also sent off the tokens for a second set for a relative to be sent direct to them, but was a bit slow in dowing so, with the result that now, two months on, my cheque remains uncashed and the discs were never delivered. Oddly, the "presentation case" (really just a more elaborate thin card box) which I paid for a little bit earlier for my own set by credit card on the website did turn up. That release - and this one - has been a bit of a hot topic on vintage TV forums, and other peoiple have had similar experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
