'''''The Doctors Revisited''''' was a series of documentaries produced and broadcast by [[BBC America]] to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ''Doctor Who''. One documentary was broadcast every month, each focusing on a different incarnation of the Doctor. The series began in January with a [[First Doctor]] documentary and proceeded chronologically through the Doctors until it culminated with an [[Eleventh Doctor]] documentary in November. Each documentary was then followed up by a broadcast of a story featuring that Doctor, edited into an [[omnibus]] format (save the Eighth, the only doctor to have a single-parter from his era shown). All stories shown in the classic era prior to the 2005 revival have made their BBC America debut. | '''''The Doctors Revisited''''' was a series of documentaries produced and broadcast by [[BBC America]] to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ''Doctor Who''.
