List of BBC VHS releases

The following is a list of VHS releases by the BBC, broken down by year of release. Doctor Who and K9 and Company are the only two Whoniverse-related programmes to be released to VHS. They were released in both PAL and NTSC formats for both European and North American audiences. The catalogue number and release dates given generally applies only to the PAL release, with North American release usually occurring at some point after (but occasionally before) the PAL release.

1985
In 1985, The BBC removed the Star Ident from the VHS artwork and replaced it with italic text. The last release to display the star ident on its artwork was "The Brain of Morbius" (BBCV2012), released in 1984.

1993
The releases from Terror of the Autons to The Two Doctors featured the 30th Anniversary logo rather than the standard one.

1994
More than Thirty Years in the TARDIS was a new 90 minute edit of the documentary Thirty Years in the TARDIS which had aired on the BBC in November 1993.

1995
The Key to Time releases of April, May, and June featured artwork on the spine of the video cases (by Andrew Skilleter). Starting with Carnival of Monsters, the releases each came with a postcard with the video cover art on the front that could be put into the album that came with the combined The King's Demons/The Five Doctors Special Edition set. These would end with The Hand of Fear in 1996.
