Though the
UNIT boxed set has been placed in the United Kingdom DVD release schedule (for January), other
Doctor Who DVDs have yet to be formally scheduled by
2|Entertain for the first quarter of next year. However, Amazon in Canada
has added some additional titles for 2012:
It is expected that the UK Region 2 releases of the stories/sets will be on or before those listed for Region 1 above.

UNIT Boxed Set.
