New Dr. Who DVDs coming! (well, eventually...)

[acroyear]

BBC Worldwide has announced that Region-1 / NTSC dvds of the first new Dr. Who season, starting Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, will be released in February, 2006.

Drawback?  It's officially released to Canada, so whether or not it actually shows up in stores in America or we have to get it as an import remains to be seen.

ok, geeking out is done...

Amazon.ca has always been good to me. So has amazon.co.uk and a region-free player; in the long run it was easier to get the player and order from Britain than it was to wait.

the new Dr. Who's are about 45 minutes long

and so, at least in the UK, fit 3 to 4 stories per disc for the first 13. they're released as 4 separate discs (4th is coming soon) and as a single 4-dvd boxed set (also coming soon).

the new dvd releases of the old series are generally 1 disk per story because of all the extras.

"room" is relative -- the average person, on the other hand, can't afford to not be able to buy a dr. who simply because they'd have to pay for 26 at once. i doubt dr. who is going to get the "cheap single-season blocks" releases that tv shows get. low-budget stereotypes aside, the old dr. who is expensive compared to "dukes of hazzard".
