The release of ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'' (originally planned for January), for which the cover broke with the established template, also had a US documentary on the story included as a bonus. ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'' release was based on the colourisation created and broadcast in 1992, and the releases of ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'' would also be released in a colourised format. The releases from ''Terror of the Autons'' to ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'' featured the thirtieth anniversary logo on the front cover rather than the standard one. They would also feature a special anniversary title sequence at the start of the tape. ''[[The Invasion]]'' was released with narration from [[Nicholas Courtney]] filling in for the missing episodes 1 and 4. The ''[[Dalek Tin]]'' also included a booklet, ''[[Daleks: A Brief History]]'' by [[Andrew Pixley]]. The bottom of the tin featured a photo of a [[Dalek]], with 5 different variations each with a different Dalek photo. Similarly, the ''[[TARDIS Tin]]'' had 7 variations, one photo for each of the then seven [[The Doctor|Doctors]]. ''[[Planet of Evil (TV story)|Planet of Evil]]'' and ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'' had originally been scheduled for early 1994, but were brought forward to December at the last minute. | The release of ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'' (originally planned for January), for which the cover broke with the established template, also had a US documentary on the story included as a bonus.

There had been several "special releases" planned for the anniversary year. Alongside ''The Invasion'', ''[[The Reign of Terror (TV story)|The Reign of Terror]]'' was originally scheduled with narration from [[Carole Ann Ford]] filling the gaps left by the missing episodes 4 and 5. Similarly, ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'' with narration by [[Michael Craze]] for Episode 4 was also planned for release. [[John Nathan-Turner]] had also planned a double tape pack consisting of clips and interviews for the thirtieth anniversary. Additionally, a release titled "The BBC Documentaries" had been planned, featuring ''[[Whose Doctor Who]]'' (1977) and ''[[Resistance is Useless]]'' (1992). Finally, ''The Davison Years'', ''[[The Colin Baker Years]]'', and ''The McCoy Years'' had all been scheduled (with the [[Colin Baker]] title being recorded). Following complaints from fans, Nathan-Turner departed from BBC Video, meaning these planned titles were abandoned (the Colin Baker title was eventually released in 1994). | There had been several "special releases" planned for the anniversary year.

''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]'' had originally been scheduled for March, but would end up being delayed until 1996 as a result of being pre-empted by a [[BBC Two]] repeat of the story in January/February. Likewise, a release of ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'' for May was abandoned due to its repeat on BBC Two in early 1993 (it would be released eventually in 1999).

The video range was suspended on [[19 February (production)|February 19th]] due to the imminent release of the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|forthcoming TV movie]]. This also resulted in many back titles being deleted, including the very recent release of ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'', which made this particular title most sought after. When the range returned in [[October]] it had adopted the new logo from the telemovie, although a consistent template would not be established till 1997. | The video range was suspended on [[19 February (production)|February 19th]] due to the imminent release of the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|forthcoming TV movie]].

Revision as of 02:18, 9 May 2019
The following is a list of VHS titles released by the BBC, broken down by year of release. Doctor Who and K9 and Company are the only two Whoniverse-related programmes to be released to VHS. They were released in both PAL and NTSC formats for both European and North American audiences. The catalogue number and release dates given here apply only to the PAL UK releases, with North American and other territory releases usually occurring at some point after (but occasionally before) the UK release.
Until about 1995, the William Hartnell releases would be edited to remove "next episode" captions that lead into a different story to avoid confusing casual buyers. Also, until the release of The Daleks in late 1989, the releases were edited together into an omnibus format which removed cliffhangers and opening and closing credits between episodes. Some releases prior to this point also featured other edits for content reasons (such as the nunchaku scene from The Talons of Weng-Chiang).
The final Doctor Who VHS releases took place in 2003. VHS later ceased to be a viable format and subsequent releases were relegated to DVD and Blu-ray formats.
Timeline of Releases
1983
The selection of Revenge of the Cybermen for release was based on a survey undertaken by BBC Video at the Longleat convention earlier in 1983. The favourite title voted for release was The Tomb of the Cybermen, but as this story was then missing from the archives, an existing colour Cyberman story was selected as an appropriate replacement.

In 1985, BBC Video removed the "Star Ident" from the VHS artwork and replaced it with simple italic text. The last release to display the "Star Ident" was The Brain of Morbius in 1984. The release of The Seeds of Death marked the first black and white Doctor Who released as part of the range.

1992
The recovery of The Tomb of the Cybermen at the beginning of the year allowed for it to be hurriedly slotted into the release schedule in May. The release of Shada saw the story completed by having Tom Baker fill in the gaps in the narrative by giving simple summaries of the missing action. The release also included a copy of all six scripts. The Tom Baker Years departed in format from the previous three releases, having Tom Baker commenting on a clip from each of his television adventures as opposed to introducing selected individual episodes.

1993
The release of Silver Nemesis (originally planned for January), for which the cover broke with the established template, also had a US documentary on the story included as a bonus. The Dæmons release was based on the colourisation created and broadcast in 1992, and the releases of Terror of the Autons and Doctor Who and the Silurians would also be released in a colourised format. The releases from Terror of the Autons to The Two Doctors featured the thirtieth anniversary logo on the front cover rather than the standard one. They would also feature a special anniversary title sequence at the start of the tape. The Invasion was released with narration from Nicholas Courtney filling in for the missing episodes 1 and 4. The Dalek Tin also included a booklet, Daleks: A Brief History by Andrew Pixley. The bottom of the tin featured a photo of a Dalek, with 5 different variations each with a different Dalek photo. Similarly, the TARDIS Tin had 7 variations, one photo for each of the then seven Doctors. Planet of Evil and Dragonfire had originally been scheduled for early 1994, but were brought forward to December at the last minute.
There had been several "special releases" planned for the anniversary year. Alongside The Invasion, The Reign of Terror was originally scheduled with narration from Carole Ann Ford filling the gaps left by the missing episodes 4 and 5. Similarly, The Tenth Planet with narration by Michael Craze for Episode 4 was also planned for release. John Nathan-Turner had also planned a double tape pack consisting of clips and interviews for the thirtieth anniversary. Additionally, a release titled "The BBC Documentaries" had been planned, featuring Whose Doctor Who (1977) and Resistance is Useless (1992). Finally, The Davison Years, The Colin Baker Years, and The McCoy Years had all been scheduled (with the Colin Baker title being recorded). Following complaints from fans, Nathan-Turner departed from BBC Video, meaning these planned titles were abandoned (the Colin Baker title was eventually released in 1994).
1994
More than 30 Years in the TARDIS was a new 90 minute edit of the documentary 30 Years in the TARDIS which had aired on the BBC in November 1993.
The Green Death had originally been scheduled for March, but would end up being delayed until 1996 as a result of being pre-empted by a BBC Two repeat of the story in January/February. Likewise, a release of Revelation of the Daleks for May was abandoned due to its repeat on BBC Two in early 1993 (it would be released eventually in 1999). The Greatest Show in the Galaxy had been planned for a November release, but was dropped till 2000.

1995
The Key to Time releases of April, May, and June featured artwork on the spine of the video cases (by Andrew Skilleter). Starting with Carnival of Monsters, the releases each came with a postcard with the video cover art on the front that could be put into the album that came with the combined The King's Demons/The Five Doctors Special Edition set. These would come to an end with The Hand of Fear in 1996. Carnival of Monsters also came with three cards with photos on one side and part of the cover art on the other. These could be combined with three cards released with Doctor Who Magazine issue 224 to complete the cover art. The initial release of The Five Doctors had an error with the Dolby Surround and replacement tapes had to be issued.
Releases provisionally scheduled for this year included The Keys of Marinus in March (released 1999) and The Ice Warriors in May (released 1998). Planet of Giants (released 2002) and Invasion of the Dinosaurs (released 2003) were set for November (and then early 1996) while Delta and the Bannermen (released 2001) was planned for December.
1996
The video range was suspended on February 19th due to the imminent release of the forthcoming TV movie. This also resulted in many back titles being deleted, including the very recent release of The Hand of Fear, which made this particular title most sought after. When the range returned in October it had adopted the new logo from the telemovie, although a consistent template would not be established till 1997.
Time-Flight (released 2000) and The Happiness Patrol (released 1997) had both been planned for March, The Green Death for April, The Leisure Hive (released 1997) for May, Horror of Fang Rock (released 1998) and The Horns of Nimon (released 2003) for June, Timelash (released 1998) for July, The Awakening/Frontios (released 1997) for August, and The War Machines (released 1997) and The Invasion of Time (released 2000) for September.

1999
The discovery of the previously missing episode "The Lion" (Episode 1 of The Crusade) at the start of the year prompted its release in July. It featured linking material for the missing episodes from William Russell and the pack also included a CD of the soundtrack of the two episodes, four postcards with images from the story and The Space Museum (which was released with it), and a TARDIS keyring.
