BBC One — alternately styled BBC1 and BBC-1 — is a British television channel. It has been considered the "main" BBC terrestrial television channel in the United Kingdom since it was created by the devolution of BBC tv into BBC1 and BBC2.

Since the 25 April 1964 premiere of "The Screaming Jungle", it has been the network of origin for Doctor Who, excepting a few unusual stories, such as The Five Doctors and the 1996 telemovie. It was also the home network for A Girl's Best Friend, Invasion of the Bane, and the third series of Torchwood.
