Doctor Who spin-offs can be separated into two distinct categories, officially licensed BBC productions, and other productions (not licensed by the BBC.
For the former there are only two examples, that is K-9 & Company and Torchwood.
The latter are all Doctor Who spin-offs which generally contained a monster or element of Doctor Who (licensed from the original holder) and then produced without BBC licensed elements.
