Disney Time was a British television clipshow series that ran on BBC One (and occasionally on ITV) from the 1960s to the 1990s. It played extracts from Disney's various feature films and theatrical shorts. Each episode was hosted by a different British celebrity.

The edition that was broadcast on August bank holiday 1975, is significant to this wiki for being hosted by Tom Baker, in character as the Fourth Doctor.

Other hosts[[edit] | [edit source]]

Most notably, Baker's predecessor, Jon Pertwee, hosted a Whitsun edition of the show in 1973. Unlike Baker, however, Pertwee hosted as himself, rather than as the Third Doctor.
