The Five Faces of Doctor Who was a season of repeats organised by John Nathan-Turner, broadcast on BBC Two on Monday to Thursday evenings and which began in November 1981. He chose five adventures from the first four Doctors, including Logopolis as it featured the first on-screen appearance of Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor, and doing so justified the title of the season itself.

- An Unearthly Child: Episode 2, TX: 3 November 1981

Originally, The Masque of Mandragora would also have been included to represent the Tom Baker era, but the season was curtailed from six to five serials at short notice.
A second season of repeats, titled Doctor Who and the Monsters, was broadcast on BBC One the following year.
