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 title chosen for this test was The Five Doctors. This was picked because of it already existing in a "Special Edition" format from the BBC Video release of 1995. This permitted better use of the DVD format with 5.1 surround sound. The Region 1 release of this title featured a commentary not available on the Region 2 and 4 versions, but which would later be included on the "Special Edition" re-release of 2008.

The Five Doctors was something of a false start. The range kicked off properly a year later with The Robots of Death. with a different cover art template. Although the menu intro sequence was the same as for The Five Doctors, in all other respects the menu system was completely redesigned. It was planned for each disc to feature the story's theme music 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 since.

Pyramids of Mars was originally to have been the Tom Baker title in the second slot. Issues with contract negotiations led to it being postponed and The Ark in Space put in its place. The original plan was to release one title from each Doctor. This was not managed as The Ark in Space and Carnival of Monsters were slipped into the schedule to avoid two black and white stories being released back to back. This year saw the first major discontinuity between UK (Region 2) and North American (Region 1) DVD releases. A box set of the six stories from the Key to Time season was released in Region 1 years before a similar release in Region 2.

2003
For Doctor Who's fortieth anniversary, 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 held back for the anniversary month. For the year most releases included a special music video. Clips from the show were accompanied by the popular cover version of the Doctor Who theme music by Orbital. In Region 4 these releases, except for The Curse of Fenric, had an additional slip cover fitted over the cases, which were covered in silver TARDIS roundels and replaced the standard DVD range logo with the Fortieth Anniversary variation.

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 occurred in the January of 2004. The release of Lost in Time marked the first time BBC DVD released a Doctor Who boxset, instead of releasing individual serials. It also marks the first time two different Doctors were released together, without it being a multi-Doctor story.

From Revelation of the Daleks onwards, the DVDs featured the logo of 2|entertain, a DVD release company formed by the BBC and Woolworths. The release of the Dalek collection was the first time that 2|entertain released a DVD collection exclusively to a shop - W H Smith. This was available only in the UK, and not worldwide.

2006
The Sontaran Experiment in October 2006 marked the start of more frequent releases. Titles might be a "Super Value Edition" (like The Sontaran Experiment). This meant fewer extras. Some releases were "Special Editions" like the two disc releases of the past. Super Value Editions were abandoned around 2008. The two missing episodes of The Invasion were originally animated for BBCi and used for the story's DVD release. 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 as well as 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 an earlier release. The new disc corrected mistakes with effects and the multi-angle feature; it upgraded the Photo Gallery feature and added new documentaries.

The release of The Five Doctors was the second re-release of the series. The first had been Remembrance of the Daleks in 2007. This made the original 1983 version of the story available on DVD for the first time. The release of The Invisible Enemy featured an authoring error on the Region 2 release. A replacement disc could be obtained directly from 2|entertain and the error was corrected for later pressings.

The Special Edition release of Remembrance of the Daleks, part of the 2007 Davros box set, was released separately this year. This was in addition to the regular releases. The Dalek War box set had been planned as a late December release; it was brought forward to fill a hole created by the Torchwood: Children of Earth DVD being released closer to the broadcast date. Dalek War also saw the first release of episode 3 of Planet of the Daleks in colour because of new colourisation techniques.

The Kamelion Tales DVD box set was originally scheduled for the January release slot. It was pushed back due to an administrative error. Its replacement, the Peladon Tales box set, had originally been planned for 2008, but was also held back until this year. Three new special editions of stories released early in the range appeared in Revisitations 1 box set. The rights issues with the 1996 TV Movie were cleared and it was released on DVD for the first time in Regions 1 & 4. A limited edition version of the Season Five box set, a metal tin (BBCDVD3344), was released alongside the standard version.

Footnotes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Originally this title remained unreleased in Regions 1 & 4. The international rights issues with Universal were finally settled in 2010, finally enabling the release of the 1996 TV Movie on DVD, although by that time this release was replaced by the "Special Edition" release.
- ↑ This was a Region 1 exclusive release. The individual stories were also available for sale separately.
- ↑ Release delayed due to Series 1 not having yet aired in North America at the time of the Canadian release.
- ↑ Release delayed due to Series 2 still being broadcast in Canada at the time of the US release.
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 Region 4 titled The Runaway Bride as "Series 3 Volume 1", so the rest of Series 3's releases were one volume number ahead of the Region 2 releases. Ezydvd.com.au shows Series 3 Volume 1 titled as Volume 2.
- ↑ A previous edition of The Key to Time, with fewer extra features, had been released as a Region 1 exclusive on October 1st, 2002.
- ↑ Release delayed due to Series 2 still being broadcast in Canada at the time of the US release.
- ↑ This is the general release date. The set is also available as an ABC Shop exclusive which was released on June 4th, 2009.
- ↑ This was a non-"Limited Edition" release of same 2007 DVD set, minus outer plastic slip. This is not likely to appear as a release in Regions 1 & 4 as the original releases in those regions were already non-limited editions.
- ↑ An ABC Shop exclusive of the set was released earlier on March 3rd, 2011.
