BBC Worldwide have fully purchased 2|entertain, meaning they’ll carry on working together to publish the DVDs and Blu-rays of various BBC programmes – including Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures – for years to come!

The future of the company has been in doubt since 2008, following the downfall of Woolworths, which owned a 60% share.

However, BBC Worldwide have now managed to fund its remaining rights and will continue to contribute releases not only in the UK, but also in over 60 countries around the world, including North America, Australia and Japan.

The next new series DVD/Blu-ray to be released by the distributor will be Volume 1 of Series 5, featuring The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below and Victory of the Daleks, the temporary cover of which was unveiled earlier this week. It’s scheduled to be released on 7th June 2010.
