The ''Confidential'' [[Desert Storm|instalment produced for the 2009 Easter special]], ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'' was significant for its inclusion at full-length in both the UK and North American DVD releases, including footage from several classic series episodes, the licensing-challenged [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 TV movie]] and several snippets of licensed music — elements that otherwise were removed from the "Cut Down" versions. It was also the first ''Confidential'' made available in the Blu-Ray format. The subsequent ''Complete Specials'' DVD/Blu-Ray box set included the full-length, unedited ''Confidential'' instalments for the four 2009 specials, plus [[Confidential Christmas 2008|the one for ''The Next Doctor'']] (which was omitted from the standalone DVD release of that episode) which was up-converted to high-definition for Blu-Ray release.
