BBC DVD is a division of BBC Worldwide. It has released Doctor Who (and later Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures) stories from 1999 until the present.

List of Releases

1999

Notes

Doctor Who was chosen as one of six DVDs released to represent the BBC as a 'test' of the DVD market by BBC Worldwide. (The other titles were The Black Adder, Noddy in Toyland, The Planets, Persuasion, and Volume I of The Best of Monty Python’s Flying Circus.)

The chosen title for this 'test' was The Five Doctors, which was picked due to an already existing in a Special Edition format from the BBC Video release of 1995, which allowed it it to take 'better advantage' of the DVD format with the use of 5.1 Surround Sound.

2000

Notes

After The Five Doctors, which was something of a false start, the range eventually kicked off properly (with a different cover art template) a year later with The Robots of Death.

2001

2002

Notes

Pyramids of Mars was originally to have been Tom Baker title released in the second slot, but issues to do with contract negotiations led to it being postponed and The Ark in Space was put in its place. After the release of The Five Doctors, the original plan was to release one title from each Doctor of the eight Doctors, but as the range progressed this was not quite achieved as The Ark in Space and Carnival of Monsters were then slipped into the schedule to prevent two black and white stories being released back to back.

2003

Notes

For the 40th Anniversary of Doctor Who, BBC DVD wanted to release one title from each Doctor.

2004

Notes

Pyramids of Mars was released after being voted most wanted DVD release in a 2003 Doctor Who Magazine poll and the Lost in Time set came about due to the recovery of the previously missing episode Day of Armageddon from The Daleks' Master Plan which happened in the January of 2004.

2005

Notes

From Revelation of the Daleks and onwards the DVDs featured the logo of 2entertain, a DVD release company formed by the BBC and Woolworths.

2006

Notes

The Sontaran Experiment in October 2006 marked the start of an increase in the number of releases, with titles being assigned as either a 'Super Value Edition' (like The Sontaran Experiment, which meant a reduced extras package, or 'Special Editions' like the two disc releases of the past.

2007

Notes

The Series Three DVD boxset was, in an exclusive release at Amazon.co.uk, made available with the choice of two additional covers beyond that of the standard cover. The Remembrance of the Daleks disc, as part of The Complete Davros Collection DVD box set, marked the first example of the range re-visiting a previous release (the new disc correcting mistakes with effects and the multi-angle feature, and upgrading the Photo Gallery feature, as well as adding new documentaries).

2008

Notes

The release of The Five Doctors is the second re-release of the series, making the original 1983 version of the story available on DVD for the first time.

2009

Notes

Planet of the Daleks features a colour-restored version of Episode 3, marking the first time this episode has been released in colour.

2010 and Onwards: Rumours

Still to be Released or Announced

William Hartnell

Patrick Troughton
