Specific episodes of ''The Original Series'' were first released by [[CIC Video|CIC-Arena Video]] in the early 1980s. The series in its entirety was released twice in the [[UK VHS releases|UK]] by [[CIC Video]] - a two-episode-per-tape release from {{y|1988}}-{{y|1991}}, and a three-episode-per-tape release from {{y|1996}}-{{y|1998}}.
  
  +
===Original release===
  +
The original CIC Video release was continuous, and did not separate out seasons. Consequently, the final volume containing season 1 episodes also began the season 2 release.
