==Home media== In the United States, all three series of ''Cracker'' were released through [[Home Box Office, Inc.#Home Video|HBO Home Video]] between 2003 and 2004, with the "White Ghost/Lucky White Ghost" special being included with series three. "A New Terror" and a complete series set were made available from [[Acorn DVD]] in 2007 and 2009, respectively. In the United Kingdom, the series was never made available in the complete individual series forms, but rather in their separate story arcs from each series. All stories that make up the three series and the "White Ghost" special were released from [[BBC Studios Home Entertainment#Video Collection International|Cinema Club]] in 2003. All the episodes were re-released, as well as a new release for "A New Terror" (known simply as "Cracker" for the DVD release) and a complete collection set, were made available in 2006 from [[ITV Studios|ITV DVD]]. The complete series set was re-issued from ITV DVD in 2008. In Australia, the series was initially released by [[Shock Records]] in 2007, who released series one, two and three individually, as well as a set comprising the two specials. The original complete series boxset from Shock contained all series, but excluded the specials, while a re-release of the boxset contained every episode, made available in 2008. [[Roadshow Entertainment]] re-released all three series and the two specials individually in 2012. [[Madman Entertainment]] acquired distribution rights to the series, and released a complete series boxset in 2024. {| class="wikitable" |+Standard sets |- ! rowspan="2"|Title ! colspan="3"|Release date |- !
