The Doctor Who Years: The Sixties (documentary)
The Doctor Who Years: The Sixties was the first episode of The Doctor Who Years, a three-part musical documentary series charting the history of the "Classic Series" of Doctor Who.
The style and format of the documentary was based on the BBC television series The Rock 'n' Roll Years (1984-94). It featured clips and images from every Doctor Who story, in chronological order, as well as various promotional appearances, merchandise and newspaper clippings, accompanied with tongue-in-cheek captions and scored with pop music from the UK Singles Chart at the time.
After complaints that the captions were difficult to read, it was re-uploaded on 8 April 2005 with the captions in a different font and increased in size.[1]
Initially it was only available to stream in RealPlayer (.ram) format, then on 6 July 2005 it was made avalable in a second format, Windows Media Video (.wmv), after a website visitor survey in which RealPlayer was heavily criticised.[2][3]
