Missing episodes of Doctor Who?

Tell me more.

There are a number of episodes that have been lost due to accidental or intentional destruction of the film prior to the advent of home video.  (Studios used to destroy films of things they deemed no longer valuable or taking up space.)

Well yeah but what has that got to do with the topic title?

A DVD of nothing is equally as nothing as a blu-Ray of nothing or a VHS of nothing for that matter.

As for the delayed release of certain stories, it takes a while to put each package together.

There is the restoration work (which is usually top notch) on the episodes to bring as close to broadcast quality as possible, then there are all the extras (which are usually top notch too).

There are some special edition sets but they are released with the originals when possible (lessons have been learned from the early VHS releases).

I can't see any point to complain about them.

The blu-Rays are bound to lag behind because they haven't finished making all the DVD presentations yet.

I believe all of NuWho is available in box set form in both DVD and blu-Ray formats.
