A little off-topic briefly, buy something I've noticed over here in North America concerning a few "Doctor Who" titles produced prior to the New Series - rights issues.

Both the "Davros Boxset" and "Remembrance of the Daleks: Special Edition" (two-disc version) have been indefinately delayed over here because of some kind of rights issues. Doesn't make sense to me, because they were able to release the single-disc "Remembrance" over here just fine with no problems a number of years ago, with some of the archive music for the cafe scenes substituted.

And North America is still waiting, after twelve years, for the Paul McGann TV Movie to come out here.
(Happy twelfth anniversary to Paul if he's reading this; unlikely, but he may join the forum at a later date ).

Isn't it interesting how classic Series releases can become bogged down in legal red tape so easily, yet the Beeb goes out of its way to buy the rights to include 45 seconds of Britney Spears' "Toxic" on the Series One release?

I just wish the Beeb would take the time to clear the stuff and get these titles released on both sides of the pond. It'll make their beloved fans very, very happy.



Speaking of Britney Spears' "Toxic", check out this "WhoMix" entry from a few years ago.
