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 end with The Hand of Fear in 1996.

The video range was suspended in February due to the imminent release of the TV movie.

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.
