| I am wondering though if the commentaries will be the same as the podcast commentaries, or if they'll be recorded specially for the box set. |

| I'm still waiting for the first DVD boxset to drop in price...... |

| I just don't see value for money in 13 episodes with extras retailing at £45-£60. Give us it for £30 BBC or 2entertain and I'll take another set off your hands!!! |

Have you seen the prices of HBO series like Six Feet Under and The Sopranos? All of them are comparable to Doctor Who both length-wise and price wise, and the Who sets have far better extras :) |

| Surely we should get the show cheaper here and they should rip off the americans? |

What do you mean by that? Over here in Canada, the new series set had a retail price of $140 CAD (plus 14% tax in Ontario - the amount will vary based on which province it was bought in), which comes to something like 160 dollars - about 10 pounds higher than the retail price in the UK! From what I gather, the US price for the set was 99.99 USD, however this also is the price without sales tax so that would be higer as well. Plus, while the BBC might retail the set for 70 pounds, given the instore discounts you would be much more likely to pay only about 50 pounds back when it was released, and I wouldn't be surprised if this price has lowered further since then.... |

| New titles and dates announced. April 2 sees the DVD release of the Runaway Bride, followed by the previously-announced Survival on April 16 Volume 3.1 of the new series will be released after Survival, although the exact date will obviously depend on the transmission schedule of the show itself. May 28 sees the release of Tom Baker's first story, Robot.
