BBC DVD releases

[edit]

The BBC released two "Best of" DVD sets in October 2001 and September 2002, but it wasn't until September 2004 that the full series began to be released, with the first series and the surviving episodes of the second series being released first, along with the documentary Missing Presumed Wiped. As of July 2006, seven out of nine series have been released, although the hour-long special "The Battle of the Giants" is yet to be included. The DVDs also include short individual biographical documentaries about the characters and their actors called We Are The Boys.
