List of Doctor Who DVD special features
The following is a list of special features found on DVD releases issued in Region 2, the UK. The vast majority of these special features have also been released in Region 1 (North America) and Region 4 (Australia and vicinity), though occasionally rights issues have prevented this.
This list includes audio-visual featurettes and DVD-ROM material (PDF files, mostly) accessible via personal computer. The list does not generally include features such as audio commentaries or trivia subtitles, since as of fall 2010 all classic-series releases have included these features. Occasionally titles have been reissued with new or different features. Some features included across numerous releases, such as the fortieth anniversary music video, are not included, nor are trailers for upcoming releases.
In cases where stories have been combined into sets (e.g. the first three First Doctor stories which were issued as the box set The Beginning), special features applicable to a specific story have been listed, where possible.
A list of Easter egg special features can be found here - List of Doctor Who easter eggs.
