    Don't hold your breath on DVD's... Disney will want to maximise
    their streaming exclusivity before that happens. In time I do think
    you'll see some sort of physical release though. Doctor Who fans like
    to collect things.

    With Disney+ wanting to milk the download market as much as possible,
    I'm guessing no DVD's for a while ... and then as Box Sets, and as it
    seems each Season might be only six to eight Eps long, maybe on a
    DoctorActor by DoctorActor Case, i.e. three or so seasons at a Box time.

    Be patient.

    Well, the UK will of course get the specials on DVD and Blu-Ray next
    year, as the BBC will be responsible for those... in fact, they are
    probably already in the pipeline.

    Overseas I don't know who gets to release physical media for Doctor
    Who going forward, as that is usually licensed out to local
    distributors anyway. It is possible the Disney+ deal affects that.

    Egads!

    No physical media release would be my guess. Why allow the sheep,
    sorry, "consumer", to own it when you can instead make them pay each
    time they view it? That is the whole streaming business model after all.
