The DVD is "Dead Like Me" a black comedy series shown on Sky last year -
not
yet released in UK on DVD yet hence the Region 1 copy (xmas present).

Incidentally this DVD is part of a boxed set and the one causing problems
features the "pilot" episode - the other DVDs appear to work okay!!

Wouldn't have thought they'd kybosh just one disc. Sounds like a genuine
fault. Can you download the files onto your PC hard disc and see if they
play from there or register as corrupt.
