Series 1
The Ninth Doctor was portrayed by Christopher Eccleston in 2005.
Beginning with series 1 of the BBC Wales-produced Doctor Who the multi-episode serial format was abandoned in favour of a mixture of standalone single-episode stories and two- (or three-) parters, in an ongoing story arc. Standard episode length changed to 45 minutes, with occasional longer episodes. For promotional purposes, the BBC chose to start numbering the series anew, although unofficially the count continued from 1989's Season 26. This wiki preserves the numbering in this list and its infoboxes.

2008-2010 specials
Episodes began being filmed in HD from Planet of the Dead.
Unusual to the show, a series of five specials were featured following the series finale Journey's End to compensate for the lack of an actual series in the year between this and the following series; two Christmas Specials, an Easter Special, an Autumn Special and a New Year Special. The second Christmas special and the New Year special marks the first time since Season 26 that a multi-parter is labelled under one title.
