Cheques, Lies and Videotape, spelled "Checks, Lies and Videotape" on the Region 1 DVD case, was a documentary following the development of releasing Doctor Who episodes on VHS. It follows several people who grew up obtaining VHS and how they all felt about retrieving Doctor Who episodes, including purchasing them for ridiculous prices on the "black market."

Points made in the documentary include...

  • The original prices of VHS in 2009 currency.
  • The differences between Target Books' novilisations and the actual episodes.
  • The deterioration of generation copies made of off-air recordings.

The name of this feature comes from the movies Sex, Lies and Videotape.
