DVD economics: what price Doctor Who? (UPDATED)
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007Can someone explain this to me?
Those 113 minutes seem awfully expensive. Is this really the most profitable price the BBC should be charging for Doctor Who, two years after original broadcast? That would suggest a remarkably inelastic demand compared with other DVD boxed sets.
UPDATE: Via Facebook, a friend of mine has just pointed out the following pricing regime for another group of BBC DVD box sets:
Red Dwarf Box Set (Season 1-8) - £104.99
Red Dwarf Box Set (Season 1-4) - £24.98
Red Dwarf Box Set (Season 5-8) - £24.98
Would it really be too much of a strain on the license fee to give the chaps pocket calculators?
