Since the Seventh Series of Doctor Who is being split into two parts (with Part 2 due either during the holidays or early 2013), it is no surprise that the [sfs=1259]Blu-ray[/sfs]/[sfs=1260]DVD[/sfs] release is also being split up.

That should give Lionsgate plenty of momentum going forward with the production of the sequel, Catching Fire, eagerly awaited by fans with a November 22nd, 2013 (Thanksgiving weekend) release date.
