| no article for "BBC DVD releases" or "List of BBC DVD releases" exists as yet so I suggest one of those as the title, which I consider more explanatory than the current title for this article. I did change the title of this article today, then the title got reverted. --[[User:Stardizzy2|Stardizzy2]] 03:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

| As far as I am aware, the BBC purchased Woolworths share of the company after they had gone into administration, making the BBC full owners of 2Entertain. I do not have any evidence however, so have not added anything to the main article page.

| ::I've been looking for something definitive on this for a few weeks now. The best I can come up with is that the sale has not, in fact, gone through. BBCW offered 100m at first, then cut it radically to 40m in late December, which the Woolie administrators rejected as what it was: a ridiculous insult. The 2 entertain website still says as of today that Woolies is a part owner, even though they've been trying to sell it since at least May of 2008. The reason it's taking so long seems to be because the value of the company is highly speculative. One of the big unknowns is how much 2 entertainment Video's products are worth '''as distributed on the internet'''. Given the insulting 40m bid, and the relative profitability of that li'l section of the former Woolie's empire, the administrators seem keen to wait and see what kind of genuine worth the online sector has.
| |
|
| |
|
| ::If you ask me, BBCW simply overplayed their hand. They had Woolies on the carpet, and they kicked 'em in the teeth. If they'd just maintained the 100m bid, or maybe gone slightly lower, the deal would be done. But to go down to 40m, well, that was a tactical error. Clearly, their 40% stake is worth more than 40m, if only because the value of the company as a whole is more than 100m.

|
| ::Any actual sale is probably going to break first and most reliably at [http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2529035 Business Week's private companies profiles], so keep your eye there. At the end of the day, thoguh, it doesn't matter all THAT much to the daily operations. BBCW is majority owner ''now''; they don't technically need Wollies' percentage for anything having to do with day-to-day operations of the company. And BBCW hold the right to buy the Woolies stake ahead of anyone else. So a bidding war can't really happen. If another company swoops in and offers 200m, BBCW still have the right to purchase at that price. So, unless some mysterious bidder offers some absolutely ridiculous price, BBCW will eventually end up with the whole thing.

|
| Missing stories occasionally creep into the "Still To Be Announced" section of this page. As it is extremely unlikely that there would be a DVD issued for any completely missing story or any story that is included in the "Lost in Time" set I feel that adding them is merely wishful thinking and perhaps should be discouraged.

| | == The Two Doctors DVD 2015 == |
| * I agree a link to [[Missing episodes]] is the better way to go, however I reworded the link as the original version was unnecessarily defeatest. Aside from the fact missing episodes still turn up from time to time, the idea of animating being "too expensive" is a fallacy now that we have people doing such things for free on YouTube that frankly look superior to the restored Invasion episodes. It's only a matter of time. And there's also always the chance BBC Video, especially when they get near the end of available complete stories, could always simply obtain the Loose Cannon restorations or similar projects. Not saying any of this is guaranteed, mark you, but "never say never" is definitely the order of the day. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 15:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

| | The BBC is releasing an animated DVD of the first Patrick Troughton story on 21st November 2016 - this should be included on the list, ja? [[User:NPChilla1|NPChilla1]] [[User talk:NPChilla1|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:01, September 7, 2016 (UTC) |
| I would like to know what evidence supports the likeliness of the releases of [[Planet of the Spiders]], [[The Masque of Mandragora]] and [[Silver Nemesis]]
| |
| I can understand [[Revenge of the Cybermen]] as it would complete Season 12.
| |
| * Please sign your comments. As for the likeiness of releases, I'm unaware of any barriers preventing their release. They're complete stories. People involved in making them are still alive and available for commentaries. There's probably a load of deleted footage for Silver Nemesis (maybe enough to create an extended version). It's only a matter of time till they are released. Same with any other complete stories. BBC Video has stated they plan to release them all eventually. And by then it'll be so cheap to animate the missing episodes they'll just move on to those. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 15:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

| == Split Articles. == | | == Missing information from later entries.. == |
|
| |
|
| I propose two new articles. Both of which would lessen the load on the 'List of BBC DVD Releases'.
| | For anybody who feels like updating the last couple of entries on this page: |
|
| |
|
| The first would be similar. Only detailing the list of Australian DVD's. | | * Doctor Who - The Complete Eleventh Series has 4 discs and its BBCDVD code is 4296 (BBCDVD4296) |
| This would be to make the original page more tidy. And the new article could go into greater detail about our schedule.
| | * Resolution's BBCDVD code is 4373 (BBCDVD4373) |
| | * The Macra Terror's BBCDVD code is 4371 (BBCDVD4371) |
| | * Doctor Who - The Complete Twelfth Series has 5 discs and its BBCDVD code is 4418 (BBCDVD4418) |
| | * Revolution of the Daleks' BBCDVD code is 4457 (BBCDVD4457) |
| | * The Web Of Fear: Special Edition is set to be 2 discs and its BBCDVD code is 4459 (BBCDVD4459) |
|
| |
|
| The second proposed article is a List of rumoured DVD releases.
| | All information has been obtained from UK retailer Zoom. |
| As we all know that all complete episodes will one day be released, this page could be done in the form of a list with each episode, followed by their individual status. (eg: Lost, reconstruction rumoured, commentry recorded)
| |
| This would allow for the clutter at the bottom of the current page to vanish and be replaced by an orderly system.
| |
| | |
| If anyone would care to help me build these pages, or offer any suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

| Im sorry but I have to disagree with the Australian Release List, it would be a carbon copy of the present list. The dates for releases would be better placed in the articles relating to the story. The rumours well there arent that many rumour releases that would warrant a single page. I dont really see the point in spliting the articles when a bit of work could be done [[User:Bigshowbower|Bigshowbower]] 11:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :The Australian (Region 4) releases could be split off to their own article, as could the US DVD releases. For the Australian DVD releases I can't seem to confirm or deny whether they use the same catalogue numbers as the UK releases. As at the moment the suggestion is they have the same catalogue number as their UK counterparts. However the catalogue numbers for other countries' releases and release dates are probably just as easily and best placed on the TV story articles in question.
| |
| :"As we all know"? Who is we? If it's statements like this justifying the creation of an article then the article shouldn't be created. Real world pages that are listing things that have not happened need sources of information to back them up.
| |
| :The 'clutter' at the bottom of the page is a list, which is what this article is. Shifting the list around would still make it a list. If it really is seen to be trouble it could be shifted to a sub-page of this article. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:45, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
