Most episodes of ''Confidential'' were later re-edited into a version called ''Confidential Cut Down'', chiefly for the purposes of inclusion on each series' DVD boxed sets. These versions had most licenced music removed, as well as clips and interviews featuring the first eight [[Doctor]]s. These versions ran approximately 10-15 minutes and were often used for the repeat broadcasts on BBC Three. (The Series 1-6 box sets group the ''Confidential Cut Downs'' together on one disc.) | Most episodes of ''Confidential'' were later re-edited into a version called ''Confidential Cut Down'', chiefly for the purposes of inclusion on each series' DVD boxed sets.

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. | 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.
