User:Josiah Rowe/Doctor Who DVD releases (temp)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Doctor Who serials that are available on DVD. Most Doctor Who DVDs have been released first in the United Kingdom with Region 2 coding, and later released in North America with Region 1 coding. Special features and commentaries are identical in the two versions, with the exception of The Five Doctors, the Region 1 release of which has a commentary track featuring Peter Davison and Terrance Dicks not available on the Region 2 release.
There are minor variations having to do with technical glitches that occurred in the Region 2 discs but were corrected in time for the Region 1 release (The Caves of Androzani, Remembrance of the Daleks). There is also a video fault in the Region 1 version of the episode "The Wheel of Fortune" from The Crusade (about 10 minutes into the episode) in the William Hartnell Lost in Time DVD that is not present in the Region 2 version.
The listing is in the following format: story number, title, number of episodes, release date.

- ↑ Due to complex licensing issues, there are currently no plans for a Region 1 DVD release of the 1996 Doctor Who television movie.
- ↑ The 2005 series is being released in two formats, first as 4 "vanilla" releases (without extras) in May, June, August and September 2005, and later as a boxed set, with extras, scheduled for November 21 2005.
