DVD and VHS Releases

All seven series were released on DVD in the United Kingdom by Eureka Video, and also in Australia by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The Eureka releases are now out of print. Prior to these DVD releases, the BBC brought episodes to VHS in the 1990s.

• The VHS title: Brittas Empire - The Stuff of Dreams was released on 7 August 1995, and features the episodes: 'The Christening' (from series four), 'The stuff of dreams' (series three) and 'Not a Good Day' (first of series four).

• Then on 2 April 1997, The Brittas Empire - Laying the Foundations VHS was released; it features: 'Laying the Foundations' (first episode of series one), 'Back from the dead' (first of series two), 'Set in Concrete' (series two), 'An Inspector Calls' (also series two) and 'The Trial' (first of series three).

• From 2003, Eureka Video began bringing the entire series to DVD, in single series box sets. The Brittas Empire - Complete Series One was released on 21 July 2003, followed by series two on 20 October 2003, and then series three was released on 29 January 2004. Series four was released in the same year on 29 July, and the final series by Norriss and Fegen, series five, was released on 4 October 2004.

• The Brittas Empire, Complete Series Six was released on 21 February 2005, and the final series along with the 1997 Christmas Special, was released on 23 May 2005.

• The Brittas Empire, Complete Series One-Seven, a set comprising the entire series, was released on 8 October 2007. However the complete series DVD set is no longer in production and is now OOP (Out Of Print). But due to the popularity of the show the boxset fetches upwards of £50 on eBay, almost three times the price it was usually sold for.
