That's brilliant news! :D I'll be putting in an order as soon as it's available.

This all sounds great :) Does anyone have any more details, other than 'in the next three months'?

Absolutely brilliant news. Now that has cheered me up a bit after having to miss today's gathering at Old Thatch. :D

For instance, will it be released in Region 4 eventually?

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Region 4 would be nice. I've found that some of the Region 2 DVDs I've purchased are also Region 4 even though this isn't advertised. As for Blu-Ray the two regions have been merged into one region.

Regardless of any Region locking, I think a UK DVD would be in high demand around the world from English speaking fans of the series. Not all DVD players are region locked.

If this is coming out in the next three months, shouldn't it have started appearing on websites like Amazon and Play by now...? I'm not doubting the report we were given but from a marketing/building up pre-orders point of view it's probably a good idea if they release the details to those sites, don't you think?
