As fans in both the UK and US have now had a chance to eagerly buy and watch the Doctor Who Series 3 box set, an interesting discovery has come to light - the content for each region is not identical! One subtle but important difference is the commentary on the final episode “Last of the Timelords”. 
Essentially the R2 PAL version of the DVD has a newer commentary by Freema, David and John Barrowman whilst the R1 NTSC (North American) version has the older/original commentary by Russell T Davies, Julie Gardiner and Phil Collinson.
So what have those in the states missed? In our opinion, an important bit would be during the moment where Martha Jones rings Tom Milligan to just see if he is okay - David Tennant teases Freema “he’s your boyfriend…” but then asks uncertainly whether Martha Jones does indeed hook up with him, and if it will get mentioned in Torchwood. John Barrowman responds with a quick “no” but then continues with “you’ll have to wait and see”. So John knows, but is not telling! Keep an eye on his interviews! (thanks to Doyle for spotting this)
hmm the region 4 box set looks different- it’s blue with a much more hidden Martha.
I hate how it’s “north America” there when we canadian bacons clearly still worship the queen. :/
Freema, Dav + John interview would be the awesomest to hear (and I’d totally love to find it somewhere… >_>)
but Martha and Tom eh? or…maybe not
I’ve been thinking for a while…could it possibly be possible that….JACK proposes to martha?
(Hey, I dont exactly want that either, but it’s just a thought…)
when does it come out in canada?????????
i went to like 30 DVD stores yesterday, people said the DVD’s aren’t to be let out yet!!!!!
it’s not fair
It was supposed to be out in Canada on the 6th? Hmm.
Yes, it’s out: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000UVV2GA
its not in any STORES yet. I basically cross countried the country for it
I hate online shopping…but it should be in HMV/Sony Store soon. They’re usually good with DocWho stuff.
I take it that the Doctor/Martha cover is the back cover of the UK version.
Am I right?
I hope I can find the one with the commentary. I may be time to check out ebay!
When Martha rings Tom Milligan toward the end of the episode:
Tennant: (in a whiny school-boy voice) She’s gonna get a boyfriend.
(Freema laughs)
Tennant: Do you talk about that in Torchwood… are you… shaked up with him now?
Barrowman: (Immediately) No.
Tennant: OOOOOOhhhhhhhh!
(Pause)
Barrowman: We don’t know.
Tennant: Ohhh! I see…
My box set has just arrived!!!!
Got the lenticular master cover exclusive to amazon. Though if ur a fan of the master and martha, don’t worry, Martha and the Doctor are on the other side infront of a swirling green vortex!!! Can’t wait to watch the bloopers!!
so…we won’t get the commentary with the tardis crew? come on! wats up with that? as entertaining as russel and phil are, i think i’d rather hear from the time lord, the companion, and the flirt
o well it doesnt matter loads, what matters is that i get that dvd in my hands!! i have to wait till christmas cuz its outta my price limit, but my dad will buy it for a prezzie!
so excited! can’t wait!
