Series 1
Note: Beginning with this season, the multi-episode serial format was abandoned in favour of a mixture of standalone single-episode stories and two (and later three) parters, along side an ongoing story arc. Standard episode length changes to 45 minutes, with occasional longer exceptions. For promotional purposes, the BBC chose to start numbering the seasons anew, although unofficially the count continued from 1989's Season 26.

Tenth Doctor
This incarnation of The Doctor was played by David Tennant. Beginning with Tennant's era, the producers began varying the episode formats, adding occasional special mini-episodes (usually produced for charity) and an annual Christmas special episode (both of which are is 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.

Eleventh Doctor
This incarnation of The Doctor was played by Matt Smith.
