...of note:

The Five Doctors was one of the BBCs first batch of six DVD releases.

The style guide for Doctor Who covers and DVD menus hadn't been created yet which makes the original silver spined cover stand out like a sore thumb on the shelf.  In the words of our Aussie neighbours: "stands out like a dingos gonads cobber".

As a Christmas present for their "readers" the BBC commissioned and released a free to print cover to match the rest of the series,... well, matches Region 2 covers anyway.  Better than nothing, or the original.
