Questions have been posed on the nets as to what is available in the
world for videos.  

I therefore offer the following answers.

Coming up is first a complete list of all BBC Doctor Who videos available
in the United States on NTSC format from CBS/Fox video.

Following that is what I believe is a complete list of all BBC Doctor Who
videos available in at least the UK on PAL format.

I post them in this order because I am most certain of what America has,
less absolutely certain on the UK.

Also, US readers, you will note the UK have many more titles available to
them than you do.  What I would like to see on follow-up posts are
which stories among the UK listing that aren't on the US listing that
you would like to see released in the US.

Remember US readers, CBS/Fox can only issue videos already released in the UK
since they take the UK prints and convert them for NTSC American release.
So when you make suggestions, keep that in mind.  

One sidenote- as a side effect of this method of doing things, the picture
quality of episode 7 of Inferno is rather dodgy.  What we in effect have
is the PAL->NTSC->PAL->NTSC conversion a poster earlier this month was
worried about, and it did happen!  However, Daemons and Frontier look OK,
but I do think my own TV copy of Inferno looks better than this does!
(and little wonder, that's only PAL->NTSC conversion).
