The BBC's DVD enquiry line have stated that the previously-adertised DVD release of
The Underwater Menace has now been removed from release schedules, and that the viability of the title is being looked into.
This DVD would have been the last scheduled classic Doctor Who DVD and was set to contain the only existing Doctor Who episode not yet officially released on any format, Episode 2 of this serial, which was rediscovered in 2011.
If you've been looking forward to the DVD of
The Underwater Menace, please take a moment to let BBC Worldwide know you'd support its release! The number of enquiries about specific titles are passed on to the relevant departments periodically, so the more enquiries they receive the more demand they'll see for a DVD release.
