BBC Video, a division of BBC Enterprises (rebranded BBC Worldwide in 1997), was tasked with releasing Doctor Who onto home video cassette. Fans attending the 1983 Longleat convention were polled to determine the first title to be released. The Tomb of the Cybermen topped the poll but, as that story would not be recovered till 1992 and was thus missing at that point, BBC Video elected to release another Cybermen adventure instead. The choice was Revenge of the Cybermen and was released towards the end of the same year.

While The Five Doctors had an artwork cover, the releases up to and including 1989 were primarily photographic in nature. During the eighties the stories released were also edited into a movie-length format (with other occasional cuts), something that prompted complaints from fans. Until the late nineties the early William Hartnell stories would also be edited to remove the 'Next Episode' captions that led into the next story, and Carnival of Monsters was accidentally released with the 1981 edit instead of the unedited 1973 version and the episodic version of Death to the Daleks released in 1995 contained edits.

While the releases would come to an eventual end twenty years later in 2003, the series was already being released on DVD, by BBC DVD, from 1999 onwards.
