Do you mean of Doctor Who generally, or the ones with the current
Doctor? Certainly the ABC Shop's website turns up a number of DVDs (the
ABC being the government-owned Australian Broadcasting Corporation, who
broadcast a lot of BBC stuff including Doctor Who) ... and for that
matter, Amazon.com does too.

I dunno if any of these are of the current series, but I would expect
they'll come eventually. (Actually, I thought to look at Wikipedia, and
get the following enlightening page:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_DVD_releases>.)

(Is it broadcast on tv in America? I understand a lot of great British
telly is hard to get over there---something about not finding a market
in nearly 300 million people. If there's market in 20 million, there
*must* be one in 300...)

I quite enjoyed the new season. The first time I heard the theme music
it sent shivers down my spine, remembering watching it mostly from
behind the couch in what I suppose was the late 1980s (and perhaps early
1990s). Haven't seen the Christmas special though: Forgot about it, and
the Wikipedia article on it doesn't even say if it's been broadcast in
Australia yet anyway.
