Note: Unlike the 2013 Italian release above, this re-release does contain the same 4 episodes as the UK/US box sets, plus the same set of special features. However, just to cause confusion, it sports the same title (“The Specials”) and near-identical cover artwork as a different Italian box set from 2012, which had a hugely different episode list and no special features!
