'''8mm''' was a standard film format, so named because of its 8-millimetre width. As such it was the smallest of the major film sizes, and never used by the production staff to record ''[[Doctor Who]]''. However, because it was cheaper to buy and develop than [[16mm]] or [[35mm]], it became the medium of choice for "home movies". Over the years, several people, sometimes only vaguely connected with the production of ''Doctor Who'', would take 8mm home movies of the recording of ''Doctor Who'' — particularly [[location filming]]. For several [[missing episode]]s, 8mm recordings of filming give vital insights into what the production may have looked like. | '''8mm''' was a standard film format, so named because of its 8-millimetre width.

Others were included on the [[Lost in Time (DVD box set)|''Lost in Time'' DVD box set]]. | A number of these 8mm recordings did make their way onto [[DOC]]: ''[[The Doctors: 30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond]]'', however.
