K-9 dvds in September...

Posted: 29 May 2008 06:12 AM CDT

September 2nd, 2008 will see the North American dvd release of The Invisible Enemy, accompanied by K9 and Company: a Girl's Best Friend, and the Invasion of Time. Although marketed in the U.K. as K9 Tales, the cover art from the BBC and Warner Home Video (the U.S. and Canadian distributor), seem to indicate that the 2 disc set will simply (or not so simply) be called The Invisible Enemy with K9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend.

The dvd features for the North American release will be the same as their U.K. counterparts (yay!) including a commentary track with Elisabeth Sladen and John Leeson, the featurette K9 Files, and pdf files of 4 K-9 stories (just to name a few.) :)

You can read the full article about the new releases at tvshowsondvd.com. Enjoy!!
