Despite the fact that the 1996 tele-film was made for American broadcast, it was until 2011 the only non-[[missing episode|missing]] story which had not received a [[North America]]n home video release in any format. Joint BBC/Universal ownership was problematic for North American publication, because the BBC are obliged to use Warner Brothers, and not Universal, for their ''Doctor Who'' DVD distribution. In August 2010 it was announced by [[Dan Hall]], the commissioning editor of the Classic Doctor Who DVD range, that Universal had agreed on the release of the TV Movie outside the UK (including North America). Release finally occurred on 8th February 2011. | Despite the fact that the 1996 tele-film was made for American broadcast, it was until 2011 the only non-[[missing episode|missing]] story which had not received a [[North America]]n home video release in any format.

Some snippets of footage from the movie had made their way onto certain US releases. In 1999 the charity spoof ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'', which reused a short snippet of the TARDIS in flight from the TV movie, was released to UK and US audiences on VHS. In 2003, a special 40th anniversary music video that included footage from the film was added to a number of classic-series Region 1 DVDs. In July 2009, the Region 1 DVD release of ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'' included an unedited edition of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' that includes part of a dialogue scene from the film. ''[[The Next Doctor]]'', also released to DVD in Region 1 in 2009, includes a short piece of footage from the film. | Some snippets of footage from the movie had made their way onto certain US releases.
