Blu-Tube: November Highlights

The Pacific leads November’s wave of TV-on-Blu-ray releases.

The 10-part Band of Brothers stablemate goes on sale on November 3, along with season two of the Aussie hit, Packed to the Rafters, the Complete Specials box set of Doctor Who and the second Sex & the City movie.

Extras on the six-disc The Pacific will include a picture-in-picture track and an interactive field guide for each episode, interviews with veterans and families of the people who inspired the series, a 23-minute making-of doco and a 10-minute take on the historical and cultural differences between the US and Japan.

A week later the second and third seasons of Underbelly will resurface in HD, which is when V: Season 1 also launches on Blu-ray.

The rest of November is shaping up as a stellar month for stargazers, too, with Into the Universe With Stephen Hawking (November 4) and season two of The Universe (November 18).

Season one of Patton 360 also gets its Blu-ray stripes on November 18, the same (dooms)day as Nostradamus 2012.
