Revision as of 15:15, 22 September 2010
The following is a list of DVD releases by the BBC, broken down by year of release. It includes the catalogue number for each release, as used on the Region 2 version of each DVD. Doctor Who has been released on this medium from 1999 until the present. Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures have also been released on this medium since their inception. The dual Blu-ray release of every episode of Doctor Who since The Next Doctor seems to indicate that this format, like VHS before it, is near the end of its life cycle as of 2010.
Though it is uncertain how many future episodes of Doctor Who universe shows will appear on DVD, it is believed that BBC Video, through 2 entertain, intend to master all possible episodes of the 1963 version of Doctor Who for DVD. Precedent can be found in the fact that they made all Doctor Who serials available on VHS, long after VHS had ceased to be the dominant home video medium.
Missing episodes, however, will never see a DVD release in their original form, or indeed a release in any visual format. However, it is conceivable that some missing episodes might be reconstructed in some way (eg animation) for a DVD release, as happened with the two missing episodes of The Invasion.
Timeline of Releases
1999
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 it 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.

| BBCDVD1006 | The Five Doctors | Fifth Doctor | 01/11/1999 | 11/09/2001 | 10/09/2000 |
2000
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. Although the menu intro sequence was the same as that used on The Five Doctors, in all other respects the menu system was completely redesigned; the plan originally being that each disc would feature the relevant theme music of the story over the menu intro sequence. This was dropped early into 2001 as it was felt that the Howell version of the theme fitted the sequence best and has been used on every release ever since.

2001
Spearhead from Space was a last minute addition to the schedule and was primarily based on the restoration done for the 1999 repeat broadcast.

2002
Pyramids of Mars was originally to have been the 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. This year saw the first major discontinuity between UK and North American DVD releases as a box set containing the six stories from the Key to Time season was released in Region 1 years before a similar release occurred in the UK/Region 2.

2003
For the 40th Anniversary of Doctor Who, BBC DVD wanted to release one title from each Doctor. The Three Doctors was originally planned for the first release slot of the year, but was then held back for release in the anniversary month. To mark the anniversary most of the 2003 releases included a special music video tribute to the series using clips from the show accompanied by the popular cover version of the Doctor Who theme music by Orbital.

2004
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.

2006
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. The Mark of the Rani was a release brought forward to plug a gap created by the delay of Arc of Infinity.

The Series Three DVD box set 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).

The Special Edition release of Remembrance of the Daleks that was part of the 2007 Davros box set was released separately this year as an extra title above the number of regular releases. The Dalek War box set was originally planned as a late December release, but was brought forward to fill a hole created by the Torchwood: Children of Earth DVD release being brought closer to the broadcast date.

The Kamelion Tales DVD box set was originally scheduled for the January release slot, but was pushed back due to an administrative error. Its replacement, the Peladon Tales box set, had originally been planned for 2008, but was likewise held back until this year. Re-releases started on a larger scale with the Revisitations 1 boxset.

2011
For 2011 2 entertain switched to unified release dates, meaning that the same Region 1, 2 & 4 titles are released as simultaneously as possible. The first releases of 2011 in R1 and R4 come in pairs: the new UK title is combined with a DVD in the backlog.[25]

Future Titles
- The Gunfighters - Documentary script (dated 2010) has been written by Jonathan Morris.[32]
- The Mind of Evil - Colour Recovery has been attempted on episodes two-six of this story (the first episode lacks the necessary 'chromadots', so would require some other means of colourisation), but a great deal of post-processing is needed before these episodes can be considered for release on DVD.[33] Commentary and interviews have been recorded as of June 2010.[34]
- Day of the Daleks - alternate audio track for the Daleks' voices has been made according to Dan Hall, the commissioning editor of 2|entertain's Doctor Who DVD range[35]
- The Sun Makers - Commentary has been recorded with Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, Pennant Roberts & Michael Keating.[36]
Re-Releases
Re-releases, with improved restoration and more extras, have been rumoured but not confirmed for the following stories, originally released in 2000-2002.[source needed] They were the first titles released for their respective Doctors:
- The Tomb of the Cybermen - new commentary and interviews for extras have been recorded in May 2010 with Victor Pemberton and Deborah Watling[37]
- The Seeds of Death
- Spearhead from Space
- Carnival of Monsters - new commentary recorded in June 2010[38]
- The Robots of Death - according to Louise Jameson, she and Tom Baker have recorded a new commentary [source needed]
- Resurrection of the Daleks
- Vengeance on Varos
Two more Revisitations sets (in addition to the one released in 2010) with three re-released stories each are being planned. [39]
It is rumoured that Revisitations 2, to be released in the first half of 2011, will contain The Seeds of Death, Carnival of Monsters and Resurrection of the Daleks. Resurrection is likely to be released as broadcast (2x45 minutes) instead of the 4x25 minutes version that was released in 2002.[40]
