DVD release (with cover blurb)

 * Each issue came with a DVD release covering two episodes.
 * Reversible DVD sleeves enabled the collector to display one of two designs featuring either the Doctor and his enemies or his companions.


 * Gridlock
 * "There's something living down there in the smoke."
 * Visiting New New York again, the Doctor finds it greatly changed. Martha isn't too impressed with the future city and is even less pleased when she's abducted by two desperate motorists! But, what's hiding in the smoke at the bottom of the motorway? And what important message does a dying friend have for the Doctor?


 * Daleks in Manhattan
 * "The children of Skaro must walk again!"
 * New York, New York, so good they visited it twice! This time the Doctor and Martha are back on the original Earth for a 1930's stateside visit. While they might expect to find dancing girls on Broadway and the dire effect of the Depression, Pig Slaves and Daleks in the sewers are a rather unwelcome surprise...
