Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • This was one of a series of videos produced by John Nathan-Turner intended to release rare episodes and incomplete serials, as well as interviews and other extras that wouldn't have seen a video release at the time.
  • All British releases were handled by BBC Worldwide, Australasian releases by Polygram and American releases by CBS/Fox.
  • The video was classified "U" in the UK and "PG" for "Low Level Violence" in Australia.
  • It was released on 6 July 1991 in the UK, 1992 in America and on 3 February 1993 in Australia.
  • The arrangement of the Doctor Who theme used for this and succeeding Years releases was originally arranged by Keff McCulloch for the 1989 album Doctor Who: Variations on a Theme.
  • Peter Davison mistakenly referred to the first episode of The Daleks as "The Dead City" rather than "The Dead Planet".
  • Highlights from the documentary were featured on the Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray release of The Power of the Daleks.

Six similar videos were later released up to 1994. They were:
