Three years after the acclaimed classic series, 'The New Doctor' a spin off from the popular BBC series, Doctor Who, ended its run, Millenium Productions Ltd has signed a deal with BBC Enterprises for a VHS release.

The series was shown only in England and has never been repeated after its initial run. The final episode was never aired, but has been included for the first time.
"There's been a lot of demand from fans of the show. We here at Millenium have been working a long time to close this deal with BBC Enterprises, the underlying rights holder, and we're pleased to be able to deliver a topnotch product," said Ian Levine, one of the producers for the series.
