List of Doctor Who television stories

Navigate by Doctor

This is a list of Doctor Who televised stories.

Episodes broadcast over the internet (webcasts) and mini-episodes are also included on this list. Names used are those given by the BBC as of today. For the 1963 version of the programme, this means that the list employs the DVD releases name in most cases, which may differ for some titles, particularly those broadcast from 1963 to 1965. This does not include Doctor Who spin-offs.

Doctor Who episodes were generally broadcast on Saturday evenings, with occassional shifts to the schedule.

Note: Due to Shada being affected by BBC industrial action around the time it was filming, the story was never completed and ended up being unbroadcast.

• An attempt to remake the story was made on 4 February 1992, with the footage being stitched together with linking narration from Tom Baker, as himself, and released on BBC Video on 6 July 1992.
• Big Finish Productions remade the story as WC: Shada with Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor on 12 and 14 November 2002 and released from 2 May to 6 June 2003. An exclusive adaption in the form of AUDIO: Shada was released on 21 November 2003.
• In 2011, Ian Levine privately funded animation to fill in the gaps in the already existing parts of the story. Paul Jones was hired to fill in for Baker, who declined to appear. Levine hoped for an agreement with BBC Worldwide for a commercial release on DVD. This never materialised.
• An attempt to recreate the story with animation was made with recording taking place from 9 to 13 June 2017. Baker returned as the Doctor, and even filmed a special live-action coda on 13 September 2017. The story was broadcast on 19 July and released as digital download in November 2017.
• A revised version, in the original intended format with cliffhangers intact, was released on 20 December 2021 on the Season 17 set of The Collection.

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.

From this series onwards, the Saturday broadcast schedule was retained.

2008-10 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.

These specials were generally considered by the production team at the time to be part of the preceding Series 4, being specifically coded "4.X". David Tennant considered Planet of the Dead to be "Episode 15".

The specials were broadcast on a Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and two Fridays.

Thirteenth Doctor

Main article: Thirteenth Doctor television stories

The Thirteenth Doctor was portrayed by Jodie Whittaker from 2017 to 2022.

Series 11

Beginning with series 11, the incoming executive producers changed the season standard of twelve, 45-minute episodes and a Christmas Special, to ten, 50-minute episodes (with some variance) and a New Year Special, as well as changing the broadcast day to Sunday. Like series 7, this series did not include any two-part stories.

Series 12

Series 12's opening story was a two-parter, broadcast under one title, in the first example of this format since Series 4's The End of Time. Part One replaced the New Year Special and was broadcast on a Wednesday.

The half-way point of the series, Fugitive of the Judoon, established a hitherto unknown incarnation of the Doctor had existed: the Fugitive Doctor portrayed by Jo Martin.

The final story of the series, The Timeless Children, established that the Doctor was the being known as the Timeless Child and had therefore lived several hitherto unknown lives before the First Doctor, confirming the suggestion made in Season 13's The Brain of Morbius.

The special was broadcast on a Friday.

Series 13 (Flux)

The main run of series 13 was entitled Doctor Who: Flux. This series re-introduced the serialised format, unrepresented since Doctor Who's original run in season 26.

It was the first series since season 23 (The Trial of a Time Lord) to be made into one continuing serial, and as such it is considered a single story by this wiki.

This was a format previously used in Torchwood, specifically for series 3 (Children of Earth) and series 4 (Miracle Day).

For the first time in Doctor Who since the William Hartnell era story The Gunfighters, individual episodes were also given their own story titles (The Halloween Apocalypse, War of the Sontarans, Once, Upon Time, Village of the Angels, Survivors of the Flux and The Vanquishers).

The Flux storylines were also each called a "Chapter", rather than "Part" as previously used.

2022 specials

Similar to back in 2008-2010, a series of three specials were commissioned to compensate for the lack of an actual series in the year between The Vanquishers and the following era, starting with a New Year Special.

The show also re-introduced the Easter Special, not seen since the aforementioned specials.

As part of the 100th Anniversary celebrations of the BBC, an event was held across a week, called the BBC 100, which included the special episode The Power of the Doctor, labelled a Centenary Special, the first story to be labelled such.

Similar to the aforementioned specials, these specials were considered to be part of the preceding Series 13.

The specials were broadcast on a Saturday and two Sundays.
