The Curse of Fatal Death (call for 2016 DVD release)

Is there anybody out there like me who wants a DVD release of this fine spoof of classic Doctor Who?

If so, let's rally together to push the BBC to finally release it to DVD. Note the Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor...of_Fatal_Death
"There have not been any plans to bring Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death out on DVD, however BBC Worldwide have said when all the classic series DVDs have been released it may be."

It was originally broadcast in the UK in 1999 & I don't recall being shown here in New Zealand. I first found out about it by seeing a VHS copy in a video shop in around 2001 (so I immediately hired it out and watched it).

It probably contains the top cast of any Doctor Who production. In fact I can't think of anything that comes close.

The only disappointment I have with it is all too short and could have been twice the length (at 23 minutes in total). So there won't be many people wanting to pay the standard price for its release. But if you add to it "Doctor Who "dimensions in time", which also hasn't been released, and also The Five(ish) Doctors -which I believe was released with the Day of the Doctor but wouldn't be any harm re-releasing (especially for those of us who avoid buying any episodes from the new series), and if it is priced like Web of Fear/ Enemy of the World then you'd have a winner.

Doing so would finally complete everything still known to be in existence related to Who being released on DVD.

You could release this and dimensions in time along with the other transmitted stuff not released on dvd like 1992s resistance is useless, 2003s the story of doctor who and the stuff that was on doctor who night in 1999. Meanwhile make do with this https://youtu.be/Do-wDPoC6GM

I've wanted this on DVD for ages! So yes, The Curse of Fatal Death for DVD release please.

As far as Dimensions in Time is concerned, there is a very slim chance of seeing this on DVD any time soon, as anyone who was featured in this, non-speaking and speaking, weren't paid for their roles. The money instead, went to Children in Need.

So, sorry, but you won't see a DVD release of Dimensions in Time.
