Fox Broadcasting Company

The Fox Broadcasting Network is the original US home of the 1996 tele-film with Paul McGann. It retains partial ownership of that film, and this ownership has prevented the release of the tele-film on home video in North America.

Fox is a part of the same group as Twentieth Century Fox, a bitter rival of Warner Brothers, the parent of Warner Video. Because BBC Worldwide is contractually obligated to use Warner for North American distribution of their videos, they are at odds with Fox, who would obviously prefer to release the film through their own home video division. Thus. as of 2010, the film remains hostage to the competing interests of Fox and the BBC in Region 1.
