- In other DVD news, Doctor Who: The Movie, the only televised story starring Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor, finally gets a North American release on Feb. 8, 2011. This is the first time since the movie aired in 1996 that it has been released outside the UK. Extras will include two commentary tracks, documentaries, behind the scenes material, and footage from Paul McGann's audition for the part of the Doctor.
