Bred for War is a DVD box set released by 2|entertain. It contains all the classic episodes featuring the Sontarans. Released on 5 May 2008, this release date means it is released in the same week the Sontaran story The Poison Sky was broadcast. It was also released alongside The Invasion of Time, one of the stories released within the box set. The release of The Invasion of Time meant that all the Sontaran stories were available and so this box set was made. It was only decided at the last minute to make a box set so The Invasion of Time, originally intended for April release was swapped with Black Orchid release for the May slot. Despite claims the DVDs in this box set do not have any added features from their individual releases. It was released on 8 July 2008 in Australia.
