Hmm. Well, that's a drag. Licensing schmisensing. It shouldn't make any bloody difference. I'll probably be skipping the SE version then.
I'll still pick up "The Chase" though. Bloopers and all, I'm quite fond of the Hartnell era.

So the rights may not extend to Region 1, but they may still be present in Region 2.
Which opens up a big kettle of fish: If it's allowed for Region 2 but not for Region 4 it'll be expensive to fix, as R4 is identical to R2 save for the region encoding, so if they have to made a different version it'll mean an extra step. They can't use the R1 version cos it's the wrong frame rate...
It says he's meeting the Dalek, but I'm not sure he knows it's there. Maybe this is when he wrote Help!.
From page 174 of About Time Volume 1:
I'm inclined to say that the photo dates to 16 November, 1964, when the Beatles made a Top of the Pops appearance to promote "I Feel Fine" and "She's a Woman," which would correspond to the filming of "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" at Riverside Studios.
The picture of Lennon and the Dalek would most likely be from one of the Beatles' earlier visits to Riverside. From Mark Lewisohn's The Complete Beatles Chronicle, page 188, on that Top of the Pops session:
Lennon is clearly wearing one of the dark jackets in the photo, and this was the last time the Beatles recorded at the BBC.

Too bad the other ideas didn't work out. I would have loved to see the old Beatles on BBC 3D. 
I would have loved to seen The Beates at their 50th anniversary concert in 2012 as old men. 
Yup, that's what I meant.
Well I think originally it was, in part at least, supposed to make sure that the rest of the world couldn't just buy new films on DVD rather than seeing them at the cinema. I can remember loads of occasions when the region 1 disc would be available before a film had even come out at the pictures over here. Of course these days films are more likely to be released simultasnously, or at least without so much of a gap so I don't see the point in it anymore!

That's a Cushing-era Dalek, which also appears in The Chase.
And you would think they would get rid of it for Blu-Ray... and then they brought out Region A, Region B, etc...
Given the choice between doing something that's convenient for the customer and will maximise sales but cuts profit margins a bit, or something that preserves margins, but inconveniences customers and encourages piracy to get round it, the film/TV/music industry will always choose the latter, and then demand impractical anti-piracy measures from the government.
