List of BBC DVD releases

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, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures have been released on this medium from 1999 until the present.

See Missing episodes for a list of stories that will require significant degrees of restoration before home video release is possible.

Timeline of Releases

1999

File:6k-dvd.jpg

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 an 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.

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. The DVD range was given a new menu intro sequence, 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.

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.

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).

2009

The Special Edition release of Remembrance of the Daleks that was part of the 2007 Davros box set is released separately this year as an extra title above the number of regular releases. The Dalek War boxset 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.

Future Titles

The following are rumoured to be upcoming releases:

• The Tenth Planet and The Ice Warriors - Dan Hall, who supervises the Doctor Who DVD range, has said in an interview with Doctor Who Online that two animated titles are in development but did not specify which titles or guarantee that the animation will be completed; however, these are by far the most likely two stories.
• The Dominators - An official Coming Soon trailer was illegally uploaded to Youtube and then pulled.
• Revenge of the Cybermen - Coming Soon trailer has been produced
• Mara Boxset - Kinda and Snakedance
• Silver Nemesis - Coming Soon trailer has been produced

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. They were the first titles released for their respective Doctors and may be released in the Revisitations Boxset:

• The Tomb of the Cybermen
• Spearhead from Space
• The Robots of Death - according to Louise Jameson, she and Tom Baker have recorded a new commentary
• The Caves of Androzani
• Vengeance on Varos

The first William Hartnell DVD, The Aztecs, was released later, and is regarded as being of higher quality and therefore not requiring a reissue. The majority of the reissues may or may not come out in a boxed set.

Still to be Announced
