The Doctor Who Years: The Eighties (documentary)
The Doctor Who Years: The Eighties was the third and final episode of The Doctor Who Years, a three-part musical documentary series charting the history of the so-called "Classic Series" of Doctor Who.
It was released on the Doctor Who website on 21 May 2005.[1]
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 tounge-in-cheek captions and scored with pop music from the UK Singles Chart at the time.
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]
