The Doctor Who Years: The Eighties (documentary)

 was the third and final episode of The Doctor Who Years, a three-part musical documentary series charting the history of the so-called "Classic Series" of Doctor Who.

It was released on the Doctor Who website on 21 May 2005.

The style and format of the documentary was based on the BBC television series The Rock 'n' Roll Years (1984-94). It featured clips and images from every Doctor Who story, in chronological order, as well as various promotional appearances, merchandise and newspaper clippings, accompanied with tounge-in-cheek captions and scored with pop music from the UK Singles Chart at the time.

Initially it was only available to stream in RealPlayer (.ram) format, then on 6 July 2005 it was made avalable in a second format, Windows Media Video (.wmv), after a website visitor survey in which RealPlayer was heavily criticised.
