What's annoying is buying the Xmas episode in advance and finding out Amazon has it NOW and for less. Now being defined as at 7am on 12.26, NY time. Ten hrs later and they still haven't delivered. These dumbasses don't know what they are doing. Xmas specials from two seasons lumped into one? Screws with the sequential playback. But as Google doesn't listen to the customer ever, I expect nothing to be remedied.

Not much of a Christmas special if we don't get it until the day after.. Was looking forward to watching this with my husband after he got off work (worked a double so all day) and then noticed it says not available until the 26th. Well, merry Christmas from Google play and BBC. Also typing this on the 26th and its still not available UPDATE 4:45pm 12/26 STILL NOT AVAILABLE

Why have the specials separate from their respected seasons? Having the specials all together is really unorganized and not to mention the way it's laid out. The End of Time was a Season 4 special and it's in the season 1 section. If you're going to have all the specials in one spot, then don't separate them by seasons because there's no use and its rather confusing. Still, I find it to be simply ridiculous that the specials aren't with their seasons. The specials are highly important to the show because they usually feature the regeneration scene, and to have something as important as that not with the regular episodes is stupid.
