List of Doctor Who television stories

This a list of Doctor Who televised stories. Episodes broadcast over the internet (webcasts) and mini-episodes are also included on this list. Names used are those given by the BBC. For the 1963 version of the programme, this means that the list employs the DVD release name in most cases, which may differ for some titles, particularly those broadcast from 1963 to 1965. This does not include Doctor Who spin-offs.

First Doctor
The First Doctor was portrayed by William Hartnell from 1963 to 1966.

Webcast
Due to the nature of this story being a single episode, the entire thing was recreated by UCLAN in 2019, in the same format and as close to original as possible, and released onto YouTube.

Second Doctor
The Second Doctor was portrayed by Patrick Troughton from 1966 to 1969.

Third Doctor
The Third Doctor was portrayed by Jon Pertwee from 1970 to 1974.

Season 7
Colour production began in this season.

Season 10
The opening story of season 10 introduced its first ever Anniversary Special, celebrating 10 years of the show.

Season 11
Note: Even though all stories from the Jon Pertwee era exist in full, some of the stories were wiped in their original 625 line PAL colour videotape format, leaving only 16mm black and white film telerecordings made for overseas sales; and some episodes were electronically restored to colour in later years.

Fourth Doctor
The Fourth Doctor was portrayed by Tom Baker from 1974 to 1981.

Fifth Doctor
The Fifth Doctor was portrayed by Peter Davison from 1981 to 1984.

Sixth Doctor
The Sixth Doctor was portrayed by Colin Baker from 1984 to 1986.

Season 22
The show's format changed to 45-minute episodes in this season.

Season 23 (The Trial of a Time Lord)
25-minute episodes resumed. The Trial of a Time Lord was produced as four separate serials (The Mysterious Planet, Mindwarp, Terror of the Vervoids, The Ultimate Foe) with 3 of them consisting of 4 episodes and the last being 2 episodes, making up 14 episodes. It is considered a single story by this wiki.

Seventh Doctor
The Seventh Doctor was portrayed by Sylvester McCoy from 1987 to 1989, and in 1996.

Eighth Doctor
The Eighth Doctor was portrayed by Paul McGann in 1996, 2003, and 2013.

Mini-episode
This mini-episode was created as part of the 50th anniversary in 2013.

Comic Relief
The Ninth Doctor was portrayed by Rowan Atkinson in 1999. The story also featured the Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors portrayed by Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant and Joanna Lumley.

Animated serial
The Ninth Doctor was portrayed by Richard E Grant in 2003.

Series 1
The Ninth Doctor was portrayed by Christopher Eccleston in 2005.

Beginning with series 1 of the BBC Wales-produced Doctor Who the multi-episode serial format was abandoned in favour of a mixture of standalone single-episode stories and two- (or three-) parters, in an ongoing story arc. Standard episode length changed to 45 minutes, with occasional longer episodes. For promotional purposes, the BBC chose to start numbering the series anew, although unofficially the count continued from 1989's Season 26. This wiki preserves the numbering in this list and its infoboxes.

Tenth Doctor
The Tenth Doctor was portrayed by David Tennant from 2005 to 2010.

Beginning with Tennant's era, the producers began varying the story formats, adding occasional mini-episodes (usually produced for charity) and an annual Christmas Special story (both of which are generally considered separate from the season that follows). Several episodes have exceeded the 45-minute standard, including the Christmas Specials and several regular-season episodes.

2008-2010 specials
Episodes began being filmed in HD from Planet of the Dead.

Unusual to the show, a series of five specials were featured following the series finale Journey's End to compensate for the lack of an actual series in the year between this and the following series; two Christmas Specials, an Easter Special, an Autumn Special and a New Year Special. The second Christmas special and the New Year special marks the first time since Season 26 that a multi-parter is labelled under one title.

These specials were generally considered by the production team at the time to be part of the preceding Series 4, being specifically coded "4.X". David Tennant considered Planet of the Dead to be "Episode 15".

Eleventh Doctor
The Eleventh Doctor was portrayed by Matt Smith from 2010 to 2013.

This Doctor's era, as of 2020, holds the record for having the largest amount of mini-episodes in the show's history, a total of 29.

Series 6
Broadcast of series 6 was split in half between episodes 7 and 8.

Series 7
Broadcast of Series 7 was split between episodes 5 and 6. The 2012 Christmas special was broadcast in-between. This series was the first of the revived series not to include any two-part stories.

2013 specials
A special episode was produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the series, alongside the Christmas special. Neither are considered to be a part of either series 7 or series 8.

Twelfth Doctor
The Twelfth Doctor was portrayed by Peter Capaldi from 2013 to 2017.

Series 8
Beginning with series 8, thirteen episodes were cut down to twelve episodes.

Thirteenth Doctor
The Thirteenth Doctor was portrayed by Jodie Whittaker from 2017 onwards.

Series 11
Beginning with series 11, the incoming executive producers changed the season standard of twelve, 45-minute episodes and a Christmas Special, to ten, 50-minute episodes (with some variance) and a New Year Special, as well as changing the broadcast day to Sunday. Like Series 7, this series did not include any two-part stories.

Series 12
The opening story of the series marks the first time since the Series 4 Specials, and the second time since Season 26, that a multi-parter has been labelled under one title.

Series 13 (Flux)
The main run of series 13 was entitled Doctor Who: Flux. This series is the first since Season 26 to have a serialised format of stories and it is the first since Season 23 to have the whole series be one big story, although distinguished by not having individual parts in each title.
