List of BBC Blu-ray releases

The following is a list of Blu-ray disc releases by the BBC, broken down by year of release. It includes the catalogue number for each release, as used on the Region 2 version of each Blu-ray Disc (BD).

Doctor Who has been released on this medium from 2009 until the present. Planet of the Dead (2009) was the first Doctor Who episode to be broadcast to early 21st century HDTV (High Definition Television) standards and thus it became the first Doctor Who BD release. The entirety of the new series, save the animated specials, is available on Blu-ray (featuring an upscaling of the first four series) in a complete series boxset. As for the classic series, the only upscaled story that will have been released in this medium will be Spearhead from Space. It has been released on Blu-ray as it is the only Classic Doctor Who story shot entirely on 16mm film, thus allowing for a true 1080p transfer to be created. Spinoff seriesTorchwood has been released on this medium since its inception. The fourth and fifth series of The Sarah Jane Adventures have also been released on BD.
