Do you mean are they PAL or NTSC or do you mean which region?
I am pretty sure they are Multi format,( PAL and NTSC )and should automatically detect which T.V/Video format (PAL or NTSC) is being used,in a particular country, and adjust the picture accordingly . I am pretty sure they are Region 0 (Region free).So should work in any/all of these places.So pretty much most of the countries we have members here from for example, although they are ENGLISH language only,( sorry no subtitles )

I take it that you live in either the U.S or Canada..? as long as you are in any of the NTSC/PAL countries listed above and as the disks are region free , they should work with no problems, although they are ENGLISH language only.  |

I'm actually "young" enough to remember some of his episodes which were shown during the 4th Dr. years on alternative days.
I also was fortunate enough to meet him at a convention in NYC along with Sara but have long since lost the autographed photo.
to quote JTK: "it would be fun" |

Any chance for someone who wasn't lucky enough to see those shows when they were first airred to win them?
I want to see all the original DW - but can't afford to buy them all and the library system doesn't have them. |

Everyone and any one who enters has a chance, as the winner is chosen at random.
UPDATE
I have also actually been able, to get my hands on some first Doctor (William Hartnell) shows from the 1960s these are also DVD complete episodes as well ( these are in Black and white ).
William Hartnell Dr Who-The Gunfighters ( 1966) run time approx 90 mins . Certificate PG
William Hartnell Dr Who- The Time Meddler (1965) run time approx 90 mins. Certificate U
William Hartnell Dr Who- The Sensorites (1964) run time approx 2.5 hrs. certificate U
So i would be happy to offer one of these as an alternative prize if some one prefers William Hartnell.
As i said though it depends on the level of interest in the competition.

I sent my entry but realized that I didn't state which I wanted.
I don't care which I win since as far as classic Who goes I've only seen The Five Doctors and The Three Doctors. So as long as I get something that'll play on a USA DVD player that is classic Who so I can be "edumacated" on the Who-verse. |

Well so far there has been a great response to the competition.There certainly must be a lot of Pertwee era Dr Who fans out there.I think next time, i'll have to make my competition questions a little harder
So good luck to all of you that have entered. Although a couple of you did forget to tell me in your e-mail which DVD you would like should you be a winner |

Not to hijack the thread, but thank you very much for your concern. I am leaving Japan on the 7th, and have been flip-flopping back and forth about whether I should go to Burma or not. Anyway, I think I will try. My travel agent in Bangkok is going to try and arrange my visa. If it comes through (and I would be surprised), then I cannot see any reason why I should have difficulties there. I certainly will avoid anything that may cause my Burmese friends problems. |
