premiered on DVD in the UK and the US before they can either be
broadcast on TV in 2017, or stay on DVD as direct-to-DVD episodes.

* According to Ian McCue, the episodes on Dinos and Discoveries were going to be part of the season but they instead were made for Season 18. The episodes have unofficially been included under the production order for Season 19 in some countries.
