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 (official abbreviation: 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. By 2013, the entirity of the new series, save the animated specials, will be available in High Definition (featuring an upscaling of the first four series) in a complete series boxset, and 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 upgraded into High Definition, because it is the only Classic Doctor Who story that was shot entirely on 16mm film, thus allowing the full effect of the upscaling to be used. Torchwood has been released on this medium since its inception.

2010
A "limited edition" metal tin (BBCBD0130) of Doctor Who - The Complete Fifth Series was released on November 8th, 2010 alongside the regular release.

Series 1 and Series 2 of Torchwood were re-released (BBCBD0198 and BBCBD0199 respectively) with standard Blu-ray cases, as part of the Region 2 version of the Torchwood - Series 1-4 box set. The original Region 2 releases of these series used cardboard packaging.

2013
The Blu-ray releases of the 2009 Specials (BBCBD0242E), Series 5 (BBCBD0242F), Series 6 (BBCBD0242G) and Series 7 (BBCBD0242H) of Doctor Who were re-released with consistent cover designs as part of the Doctor Who - Series 1-7 box set.
