List of Doctor Who home video releases

File:Doctor Who - classic series DVDs.jpg

All of the Doctor Who Region 2 DVD Classic Series releases, as of 3 May 2010.

This is a list of Doctor Who serials that are available on DVD. Most Doctor Who DVDs have been released first in the United Kingdom with Region 2 coding, and released later in Australia and New Zealand (coded Region 4) and in North America (coded Region 1). Aside from differences in the external packaging, special features and commentaries are mostly identical in all versions. The Region 1 release of The Five Doctors contains a commentary track featuring Peter Davison and Terrance Dicks not available on the earlier Region 2 release. All Region 1 releases prior to September 2005 also included a "Who's Who" feature that identified key cast members and gave brief biographies and filmographies. The Region 1 releases of Robots of Death, The Ark in Space, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, and Pyramids of Mars also include a featurette with the syndicated Time-Life introductions and closings narrated by Howard da Silva.

There are also minor variations having to do with technical glitches that occurred in the Region 2 discs but were corrected in time for the Region 1 release (The Caves of Androzani, Remembrance of the Daleks, Complete Series Two box set).

The Region 2 discs released up to 2009 have also been dual coded with Region 4, so the two have been identical. This practice ceased for new releases in 2009. The only exceptions are Vengeance on Varos, which fixed an error on the Region 2 version in episode 2, and Remembrance of the Daleks, which used the NTSC master due to errors on the UK version and issues about music clearance.

The Region 1 classic series DVDs are labelled with story numbers, which are listed below. The numbering system follows that used in the 1995 reference work The Discontinuity Guide. It differs slightly from that used by Doctor Who Magazine (the source for the Wikipedia list of Doctor Who serials), firstly by including the uncompleted serial Shada, and secondly by counting the four segments of The Trial of a Time Lord as four separate stories. Because of this, both schemes are identical until the 108th story, The Horns of Nimon, after which they diverge. The Region 1 DVDs of the 2005 revival of Doctor Who do not have story numbers, so none are listed here.

As well as the DVDs, episode soundtracks, including releases of soundtracks where the video elements of episodes no longer exist with linking narration being added as a substitute are also released on CD. For a full list of these, and other releases, see List of Doctor Who audio releases.

As of November 2010, 112 complete stories from the classic era (1963–1996) will have been released on DVD in Region 2 (as well as 12 incomplete stories). 29 complete (plus 4 incomplete stories) remain unavailable.

Schedule

Prior to autumn 2006, the standard Region 2 release pattern was one release approximately every two months, for six releases a year. Starting in 2004, one of those releases (eventually standardised as the January one) would consist of a box set. Beginning in late 2006, four new release slots were added to account for a new category of "standard" edition releases—comparably budget-priced DVDs that would contain fewer extras than the "special edition" DVDs that make up the rest of the line. Likewise, the definition of "special editions" was expanded to include sets of two or more related serials. This rate increase brings the typical R2 schedule up to ten releases (of one or more serials apiece): one a month, excepting February and December.

Although Region 1 initially lagged somewhat behind Region 2, its release rate (up until the R2 schedule change in late 2006) was typically somewhat faster: seven releases, spread across four release slots. The yearly box set was typically slotted for March, while June, September, and November are each scheduled for two releases. By March 2007, the Region 1 catalogue had essentially caught up with Region 2. As of January 2011, Region 1 and Region 2 release schedule will be synchronised, with titles being released in North America one day after the UK release. The Region 4 release schedule is expected to follow suit.

Features

With few exceptions (noted below), each of the 'classic series' stories have been carefully restored by the Doctor Who Restoration Team from the best available materials, and are presented as originally broadcast—in episodic format, where applicable. Other features present on every, or nearly every, DVD include cast and crew commentary, subtitles, production notes, and a photo gallery.

"Special edition" releases (which make up the bulk of the line; see above) also typically include one or more documentaries relating to the serial in question, any relevant archive material, and—where applicable—the occasional highlight such as a Dolby 5.1 mix or enhanced movie edit. The precise features vary, depending on the available resources and the nature of the story.

Incomplete Serials

Main article: Doctor Who missing episodes

Many of the Doctor Who serials from the 1960s have missing episodes, and in some cases, entire serials have been lost. However, only three serials have no footage remaining at all, with various orphaned episodes, clips recorded off-air, and censored clips being returned to the BBC from both fans and overseas broadcasters. Incomplete stories and episodes which have seen some kind of DVD release are as follows:

Marco Polo

Although no clips from this serial survive, a condensed 30-minute reconstruction was included on The Beginning, using production photographs, telesnaps and parts of the soundtrack (which survives and has been released on CD in its entirety).

The Invasion

This serial is unique in that it is the only Doctor Who serial to be reconstructed with animation and the off-air soundtracks. Episodes 1 and 4 were animated by Cosgrove Hall Films, the same team that animated the BBC webcast The Scream of the Shalka and The Infinite Quest.

Lost in Time

Main article: Lost in Time (Doctor Who)

The remainder of the surviving "orphan episodes" (episodes which belong to stories which do not contain at least half of the produced episodes) and a number of clips were released in 2004 on a 3-disc DVD set, Doctor Who: Lost in Time. Two serials, The Crusade and The Moonbase contain both the surviving episodes (two each) as well as the soundtracks to their missing episodes, and both may be watched as "complete" serials. The set also contains an updated version of The Missing Years, a 1998 BBC documentary on the missing episodes. In Region 1, the collection was released both in parts (Hartnell and Troughton getting separate releases) and as a set.

The Region 4 version was re-released in Australia on 1 July 2010.

• The Crusade—episodes 1 and 3; soundtracks to episodes 2 and 4; linking narration by William Russell from the VHS release

Special Releases

Box sets

Classic series

Many serials have been released in box sets:

• The Beginning—Contains the first three serials: An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, The Edge of Destruction, plus a condensed reconstruction of the fourth serial Marco Polo (see above for details on this). All regions received the boxed set only.

• The Key to Time was released in Region 1 in 2002 with a minimal restoration effort, as BBC Worldwide believed a full season boxed set would sell better than the individual releases. It received a full restoration and Region 2 release in 2007 but this was a limited edition release. It was originally slated for a March 2008 Region 1 release but was postponed to 3 March 2009. A non-limited region 2 release was released on 16 November 2009.

The Complete Davros Collection

2|entertain released the first Doctor Who boxed set with exclusive content, The Complete Davros Collection, in 2007 in Region 2. This boxed set collects the five serials featuring Davros, including Destiny of the Daleks, which was released separately on the same day, as well as a remastered version of Remembrance of the Daleks which both corrects the errors in the first release and adds a number of new special features. The remastered version of Remembrance of the Daleks was released separately from this set on 20 July 2009 along with the Davros Connections documentary.

Limited Edition

Several box sets have been released in multiple editions, some with different outer cases but the same content.

• Series 1-4 Box Set - Contains each complete box set release of Series 1-4 in smaller amaray cases with a booklet and black outercase.

The Five Doctors

The original release of The Five Doctors was the very first Doctor Who DVD release, and as such, is rather lacking compared to later releases in the range. This release contains a straight transfer of the 1995 Special Edition, which recut the story, added several scenes, and replaced the original effects with CGI. The Region 2 version had no commentary track, but one with Peter Davison and writer Terrance Dicks was added for the Region 1 release nearly two years later. The Doctor Who Restoration Team has repeatedly stated that neither they nor 2|entertain considers this to be part of the 'official' release range. The packaging for the DVD and the design of the menus is different from all other releases in the range, although the BBC have subsequently made a new sleeve available for download from the official Doctor Who website which is intended to better match the rest of the range. A new version of the story was released in Region 2 on 3 March 2008, containing remastered versions of both the special edition and the story as originally transmitted. It also features both the R1 commentary track, a newly recorded commentary, and a number of special features. To distinguish it from the previous release, the newer version is subtitled 25th Anniversary Edition.

Alternative feature-length versions

The Curse of Fenric, Battlefield, Enlightenment and Planet of Fire. Some have re-edited feature-length versions on a bonus disc, while others have a reduced edit with additional footage and new special effects, as well as a remixed 5.1 surround soundtrack. The alternative versions of Enlightenment and Planet of Fire are presented in 16:9 widescreen rather than the original 4:3 aspect ratio. The Curse of Fenric and Battlefield are extended edits with new scenes added, while Enlightenment and Planet of Fire are cut down in length to make them more like modern Doctor Who stories.

New Series Animations

• The Infinite Quest is a 13-part animated serial, the first 12 parts of which were originally shown on Totally Doctor Who. Although the serial is not a part of series 3, it features the Doctor and Martha Jones. It was run as a complete 45 minute episode after the series came to an end. It was released on DVD in Region 2 on 12 November 2007, Region 4 on 5 June 2008 and Region 1 on 18 November 2008.
• Dreamland is a 6-part animated serial (1x12min, 5x6min). They were broadcast daily on the BBC's Red Button service from 21 November 2009. It was released on DVD in Region 2 on 1 February 2010 and in Region 1 release on 5 October 2010. Though made in high definition, no Blu-Ray is currently planned.

Doctor Who DVD Files

Main article: Doctor Who DVD Files

On 14 January 2009, publishers GE Fabbri, licensed by the BBC and 2 entertain, released the first issue of the partwork magazine Doctor Who DVD Files. Every fortnight the magazine comes with a mounted DVD containing two episodes of the relaunched series, beginning with "Rose". Doctor Who DVD Files is currently planned to run for 40 issues. The magazine also includes two classic-series releases. The Five Doctors comes free with issue four and Doctor Who - The Movie is available as a gift to those who subscribe to the magazine. Starting from issue 29 the DVDs will focus on the classic series starting with Remembrance of the Daleks. All the DVDs come with new double-sided covers and are encoded for Regions 2 and 4.

DVD releases of theatrical feature films

Film remakes based on the first two Dalek television stories were produced in 1965 (Dr. Who and the Daleks) and 1966 (Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.) starring Peter Cushing as "Dr. Who". These two theatrical movies do not take place within the established canon of Doctor Who. The two films have been released as a box set (often with the Dalekmania documentary on a separate disc), first in region 4 (9 May 2001), then region 1 (22 November 2001) and later region 2 (29 July 2002).

Big Finish Talks Back

A special DVD interview with Paul McGann was released through Big Finish covering his time as the Eighth Doctor on both TV and on audio. It was released in 7 September 2002 worldwide through the Big Finish Website.

Blu-ray

"Planet of the Dead", "The Waters of Mars" and "The End of Time" were the first Doctor Who episodes to be filmed and broadcast in high-definition. They were released in Blu-ray editions on the same day as their corresponding DVDs in Region 2. A Blu-ray box set containing all of the 2009-10 specials (including an upscaled version of "The Next Doctor", which was shot in standard-definition) was released for Region 2 on 11 January 2010. The subsequent episodes have also been filmed and broadcast in high-definition, and starting with the first 11th Doctor stories, released simultaneously on Blu-ray.
