BBC Video began its life as division of [[BBC Enterprises]], the forerunner to BBC Worldwide. It was tasked with releasing ''Doctor Who'' onto home video cassette. Fans attending the 1983 [[Longleat]] convention were polled to determine the first title to be released. ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'' topped the poll, but, as that story would not be recovered till 1992, BBC Video elected to release another [[Cybermen]] adventure instead. Thus, ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]'' became the first ''Doctor Who'' adventure released to home video. | BBC Video began its life as division of [[BBC Enterprises]], the forerunner to BBC Worldwide.
