Good News for Yanks!

Despite all that nonsense with boxes of tea and harbours, we limeys have shown that we don't bear a grudge and that most British of institutions The British Broadcasting Company have seen fit to allow Canada to buy full and proper 'NTSC' Region 1 DVD versions of the new series of Doctor Who (always better than Star Trek). These will be available from Amazon Canada sometime in November.

They've obviously stopped short of allowing them to go on sale in North America proper, but once you've dealt with all those websites with a language option showing the 'stars and stripes' next to the 'English' * option, I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement.

(*That should be the British, or at least an English flag, in the same way that the 'French' option is not represented by a flag of Algeria)
