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) coding. 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 are also dual coded with Region 4, so the two are identical. 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) by: firstly, including the uncompleted serial Shada; and, secondly, 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.

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.^[1] Doctor Who DVD Files is currently planned to run for 28 issues. ^[2] 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. All the DVDs come with new double-sided covers and are encoded for Regions 2 and 4.

[edit] 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.^[3] 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. BBC Worldwide America has yet to clarify how it intends to respond to the quickened Region 2 release pattern.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Incomplete Serials

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. Four incomplete serials have more than 50% of their content remaining.

[edit] 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 in its entirety).

[edit] The Reign of Terror

This serial, missing episodes 4 and 5 (of 6) was released on VHS in November 2003, with linking narration from Carole Ann Ford. The surviving clips from episodes 4 and 5 were then released on Lost in Time the following year.

[edit] The Tenth Planet

This serial, missing only its fourth and final episode, was released on VHS in 2000. It contained a Loose Cannon-style reconstruction of the missing fourth episode, using surviving pictures, clips, and the soundtrack to reconstruct the episode. The surviving episode 4 clips, including the First Doctor's regeneration, were included on Lost in Time.

[edit] The Ice Warriors

This serial was released on VHS in 1998, with both a condensed telesnap and soundtrack reconstruction of the missing episodes 2 and 3 (of 6), as well as the episodes' full soundtracks on a CD.

[edit] 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 the same team that animated the BBC webcast The Scream of the Shalka.^[39]

[edit] Lost in Time

The remainder of the surviving 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.

William Hartnell:

• The Crusade — episodes 1 and 3; soundtracks to episodes 2 and 4; linking narration by William Russell from the VHS release
• The Daleks' Master Plan — episodes 2, 5, and 10; surviving clips
• The Celestial Toymaker — episode 4
• The Smugglers — surviving clips; location film
• The Tenth Planet — surviving clips
• Various off-air clips

Patrick Troughton — Disc 1:

• The Power of the Daleks — BBC1 trailer; surviving clips

[edit] Special Releases

[edit] Boxed sets

Several serials have been released originally in boxed 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.
• New Beginnings — Contains The Keeper of Traken, Logopolis, and Castrovalva. The set only was released in Regions 2 and 4, while Region 1 received both the boxed set and individual releases.
• Beneath the Surface — Contains the three serials Doctor Who and the Silurians, The Sea Devils, and Warriors of the Deep and was released as a boxed set in Region 2. In Region 1, the serials were released both separately and in the boxed set.
• The Key to Time was released in Region 1 only 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 proper restoration and Region 2 release in 2007.^[40] It was originally slated for a March 2008 Region 1 release but was postponed to 3 March 2009.
• Time-Flight and Arc of Infinity were released in a boxed set in Regions 2 and 4, but separately in Region 1.
• K9 Tales — Contains K-9's debut story The Invisible Enemy as well as the spin-off show K-9 and Company. In Region 1 these were released in a two DVD set without the K9 Tales title.
• The Trial of a Time Lord — Contains Trial of a Time Lord, the season-spanning story from Colin Baker's final season.
• The E-Space Trilogy — Contains three stories from Tom Baker's final season, Full Circle, State of Decay and Warriors' Gate.
• The Rescue and The Romans were released as a boxset on 23 February 2009 in the UK.
• Dalek Wars — Contains the two consecutive Jon Pertwee stories Frontier in Space and Planet of the Daleks. Planet of the Daleks episode 3 has been colourised for this release using a combination of computer colourisation and a revolutionary new colour restoration technique. It will be released in 2009.

Other boxsets have been released collecting together previously released serials (often with a newly released one):

• Bred for War — Contains the four Sontaran serials from the classic series (The Time Warrior, The Sontaran Experiment, The Invasion of Time, and The Two Doctors). It was released in May 2008 to coincide with the return of the Sontarans in the new series.

[edit] 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.^[41]

[edit] The Curse of Fenric and Battlefield

These releases both contain two discs, the first of which contains the original four-part version of the story, and the other containing a feature-length version with additional footage and new special effects, as well as a remixed 5.1 surround soundtrack.^[42]

[edit] 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 special edition of this story is exclusive to this boxed set. The boxed set also contains all seven Davros-related Big Finish audio plays, as well as a new play, The Davros Mission, which is not available separately.

Serials:

• Genesis of the Daleks
• Destiny of the Daleks
• Resurrection of the Daleks
• Revelation of the Daleks
• Remembrance of the Daleks

Big Finish audio plays:

• Davros
• The Juggernauts
• Terror Firma
• I, Davros: Innocence
• I, Davros: Purity
• I, Davros: Corruption
• I, Davros: Guilt
• The Davros Mission

The boxed set also contains two documentaries — Davros Connections, a new documentary exclusive to this boxed set, and Big Finish's audio documentary on the making of I, Davros.

[edit] The Infinite Quest

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 and was also released in Region 4 on 5 June 2008. It was released in Region 1 on 18 November 2008.
