Notes
- The TV movie Doctor Who is erroneously dated to 1986.
- Though heavily obscured by the noises made by a Dalek prop following him, Alan Whicker appears to call the Dalek "a dodgem like this". The subtitles, however, use the word "project".
- First broadcast on 1 November 2023, this documentary, along with Tales of the TARDIS and the TV version of Doctor Who @ 60: A Musical Celebration, were the first productions to use the Whoniverse ident.
