And while you waste your time on that, the rest of us can just import the Australian one since we're in the same region coding. I don't see why we should have to. It's up to BBC Worldwide to give it to us over here. Do you want it or not? If it were a different region, and region locked, there'd be a case. Otherwise, I can see zero issue. Line Of Duty doesn't get bluray releases in the UK, so I get the German ones. The alternative is I don't get it at all. Moaning online while there's a perfectly acceptable alternative is just a waste. Besides, we don't even know there won't be a UK release. Why bother starting the soapboxing now?

No. It said exactly what I wanted to, thanks The sheer entitlement - "Everything should be the way I want it or I'll kick off" - is not a one-off here with DB.

And DB, if you don't mind me saying this, there are reasons behind that. This isn't the first time you've been unreasonably short with someone, Davey.

We clearly have different definitions of "unreasonable" - though rather than appoint yourself as arbiter of who should speak to who and how, feel free to report my posts to a mod who I'm sure will see them as absolutely fine. Thanks again.

Thanks again. I'm sorry, Davy, but there have been many occasions in the past when you've been incredible short with people. There was a distinct period of time when you used to accuse me on a very regular basis that I was simply trying to prove how clever I was with every post I made, despite me saying, hey I'm going through a lot and don't do that. You are a man in your thirties, and quite frankly, I really don't think that's good enough. You might find DB's behaviour frustrating, but you also an option of either not replying or contemplating a better response. I'm not saying DB shouldn't reconsider how he approaches topics, either, but your response should not be that difficult. I am not putting myself as arbiter of behaviour, but I believe there is a standard, I think most people would agree on. Quite frankly, I find 'internet rhetoric', particularly here where we're usually a lot higher above that, a bit wearing.

Then take my advice and report it.
No-one else seems to be anything sinister in my posts with 3937 likes in 3532 posts but since you clearly do - feel free to report me for whatever it is I seem to have done or block me. Otherwise, add something even remotely pertinent to the thread.

Since you've decided not to take davygallagher's advice and continue this publically, I have to add that I've never found him anything other than pleasant and good fun to converse with. If you do not, perhaps you should follow your own advice and not engage. I offer this not to be combative, just in favour of balance. I certainly have learned (the hard way!) it is better not to engage with anyone I find continually frustrating. Also, it might be said, everyone has personal problems. Some mention it on here, some keep it private.

Terrific news about the possibility of Tom's first series coming as a complete box-set, what? I'm especially glad, because this will be convenient to store, and also because I was worried the classic series releases had come to an end. Isn't it great that we have the internet and can order these things from anywhere in the world?

Davy is not the one coming across badly here. Let's get back to DVDs now please. Blurays, please. If it were DVDs...we wouldn't have this thread in the first place. However - quite so. I do wonder if they have firm intentions of releasing the lot on blu or just the most popular ones for the moment with vague notions of more. Starting with Tom would surely skew the sales data as he's THE classic Doctor commercially. Clearly Season 12-14 selling X amount wouldn't be any even remote guarantee that the least commercial releases - and Dan Hall formerly of 2E said the black and whites were low sellers along with Colin and Sylv - would shift stock. The DVD range was smart in keeping a lot of big titles back for later on in the release schedule so the range didn't go out with a whimper like the videos did. But would a bluray range really release, say, Series 24 before Series 14? What if it flopped? The DVD range operated on tight but consistent margins and physical media sales have declined since that ended with blurays even more niche than DVD. I'll support whatever comes out but I won't be selling any DVDs anytime soon!

If anybody should be having to do that, it should be Australia seeing as it isn't their show.

Speaking as an Australian, I strongly disagree You haven't seen the shipping costs Besides, we've broadcast the most episodes outside of the UK (all except Mission to the Unknown and The Dalek's Masterplan), and Doctor Who is possibly an equally big part of our culture as well as yours. We're also responsible for 90% of your favourite censor clips. You're welcome (Special mention to New Zealand who were the first country to broadcast the program outside of the UK) Also, Germany has sold complete season (DVD) box sets of the Colin Baker and McCoy years. Are you going to say they should have been produced for the British market too?

I think they're all a two fingers up at the show's home country. We should be getting these here over any other country.

Honestly, I would see the point if we didn't share region coding with Oz -and the US one may end up region free anyway -but since we do the only reason I'll lament an Australian release is those awful ratings logos that take up half the cover.

Doctor Who belongs to everyone, even Peter Capaldi has said that. 'It is isn't their show' sounds a bit racist to me. Ah well.

I think they're all a two fingers up at the show's home country. We should be getting these here over any other country. Yes, but it happens in reverse too. Agents Of SHIELD Season 3 isnt out in the US - the "home country" for the show - at all but my lovely UK digibook has been on my shelf for over a year. I've had the 90s Spider-Man cartoon on DVD for a decade....never been released in the US, its home country. Ditto the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno live action Incredible Hulk show - I have all 5 seasons on bluray and the US don't have it at all. It's not an arbitrary decision - a distributor in the US and in Australia has said "Here's something we could do..." and retailers have said they'll take stock making it a viable idea. If there's no-one in the "home country" agreeing to make them available on the high street here, then believing no-one else in the world should have them is very, very entitled. If it wasn't for overseas sales Doctor WHo would have been dead, and stayed dead, a long time ago. Those fans are as deserving as you or I especially given they pay a lot more for the show. Who DVDs and blurays cost a lot more Stateside than here even when they are in print. Having to import vs not having them at all? Not a tough choice.

I understand the hate of the Aussie ratings, but I've had them proudly displayed in the DVD cabinet for years and wouldn't trade them for anything Actually, the spines in general are atrociously nonuniform - the 2|Entertain logo comes along, first black, then white, then disappears; the BBC logo changes to the pink/purple variant in 2010; and the Aus rating system changed from shapes to coloured shapes at the bottom in about 2006, so it's a bit of a horrid mess
