List of BBC DVD releases

BBC DVD, a division of BBC Worldwide, began releasing Doctor Who onto DVD in 1999 when the series was chosen as one of six DVDs released to represent the BBC as a 'test' of the DVD market by BBC Worldwide (the other titles were The Black Adder, Noddy in Toyland, The Planets, Persuasion, and The Best of Monty Python’s Flying Circus - Volume 1).

The chosen title for this 'test' was The Five Doctors and was chosen due to already existing in a Special Edition format from the BBC Video release of 1995.

It was something of a false start, with the range eventually kicking off properly (with a different cover art template) a year later in 2000 with The Robots of Death.

2000
After The Five Doctors, the plan was to release one title from each Doctor. This was not quite achieved as The Ark in Space and Carnival of Monsters were slipped in to stop two black and white stories being released back to back.

Future
Commentaries have been recorded for Terror of the Autons, Planet of the Spiders, and State of Decay. This does not indicate imminent releases however.

Comments have been made to the effect that 2entertain (who are currently in charge of the DVD releases) wish to see seasons completed (speculated to be in order that season box sets can be issued). To that effect, Revenge of the Cybermen (Season 12), Attack of the Cybermen (Season 22), and Battlefield (Season 26) are seen as likely releases in the not too distant future due to being the final titles required to complete their respective seasons.
