 The BBC also release "Doctor Who" on Blu-Rays, both the new
stuff as well as the classic era... the latter get full
season releases under the "Doctor Who Collection" banner
now, instead of the stories getting individually released
like in the old days. Season 7 is up next (Pertwee!)

 By "DVD" I really meant disc fomats, so including Blu-ray and
HD, etc. that they may release. The BBC will no doubt keep
re-re-re-releasing the discs (each time with different cover
designs and bonus content) as long as people keep buying them,

 The bonus content on the new "Doctor Who Collection" Blu-ray
discs are quite good... the "Behind the Sofa" series is my
favourite.

Instead of re-re-releasing the same show / movie on another disc (i.e. three slightly different DVD releases), it would be better for the fans to release just the bonus content on a stand-alone discs.

just as Lucasfilm does with the Star Wars movies.

 I bought them all on Blu-ray too! Although they were slightly
different versions to the Star Wars films on VHS that I had many
years ago, so technically they were a legitimate upgrade!

I've got the Star Wars movies on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K ... but I have not got every single release in those formats. DVD and Blu-ray must have about a dozen releases between them in various single and box set versions, not to mention the originals, and the Special Edition and Super Special Edition tweaked versions.
Dorling Kindersley does the same thing. They re-re-release the same book with a couple of extra added pages, expecting fans to buy yet another copy.  :-(
