Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 was released on VHS in the UK in two different formats: a two-episode-per-tape release by CIC Video in 1992-1993, and a three-episode-per-tape release by Paramount Home Entertainment in 2002. The original release was deleted on 1 January 1998.

Releases[]

Dates in italics are approximations based on release frequency, where no exact date is available. UK products are normally released on a Monday.

Rental releases[]

The "Unification" two-parter was released to rental outlets in feature-length form in February 1992 to coincide with the UK release of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

A four-episode-per-tape release took place in the 1990s, exclusive to Blockbuster Video. This release did not take account of season divisions, and so the volume containing the last episodes of a season would sometimes also include the first episodes of the next.

Make It So

This was the final season of three-episode tapes released by PHE. Due to the dwindling home video market, the division chose to focus exclusively on the DVD market. (It should be noted that the TNG Season 5 DVD was released on the same day as VHS volume 5.6, and the entire series had been released on DVD by the time the last volume of this season on VHS went on sale.)

Footnotes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 In feature-length form.
  2. Also includes "Time's Arrow, Part II" and "Realm Of Fear" from TNG Season 6.
  3. This is the first TNG VHS volume to be rated as 12 – and an unusual one, as the original release of these episodes was not rated higher than PG. The new rating is likely as a result of changes in the certification system in January 2002; in addition, the 12 certificate wasn't introduced to home video releases until 1994.
  4. 4.0 4.1 Four episode tape. (This was usually done to keep the number of episodes per tape above three towards the end of a season.)
  5. In the case of sets, the certificate is over the set as a whole (unless stated otherwise).
  6. In feature-length form with "Redemption".
  7. In feature-length form with "Time's Arrow, Part II"
