This 18 disc box set is the perfect Christmas present for people between the ages of 12 and 150, as I myself know. The packaging consists of a hard, cardboard sleeve like a book which has a pack inside, also in the shape of a book. You turn over and on your left is the episodes contained, along with all the special features. On your right however are eighteen thin plastic cases sandwiched together, each of them with the disc in.
I received the gift yesterday morning and was chuffed to rip it out of the wrapping paper. It contains Series One across seven black discs, two episodes on each one of six with one exception with three on it. The seventh and final of the discs has the TORCHWOOD: DECLASSIFIED series in cut-down form, at ten minutes long each. These give you background information, behind the scenes out-takes and interviews with the cast and crew. Also featured are little segments showing viewers how each monster and creature is made.
On the back of the pack is a picture of Gwen with the details of each separate series. In my opinion for what you're getting this is fully worth it.
