The Collection mini-episodes
The term of "mini-episodes" was also used by Pete McTighe in DWM 571 to refer to the short live-action Doctor Who stories whose creation he oversaw to accompany trailers for The Collection, noting that "calling them trailers feels a bit reductive". Some of these shorts broke the fourth wall while others were set in the Doctor Who universe. Contrary to traditional mini-episodes, these naturally did not tie in with the then-current season of Doctor Who on TV, but rather caught up with some element of the season being released in a Collection box-set at the time of release of the mini-episode.
- Jovanka Airlines
- Galactic Glitter
- Hello Boys!
- The Trial
- The Promise
- Home Assistant
- Return of the Autons
- 24 Carat
- Risen
- The Eternal Mystery
- The Storyteller
- Defenders of Earth
2022, for the first time, saw a new, recut edition of a previously released minisode, A Fix with Sontarans.
