Doctor Who website videos are videos which appear on the main Doctor Who website. Videos on the site covered various topics including clips, trailers, interviews, documentaries and behind-the-scenes.
Initially video content was only available in RealPlayer format, however after the 2005 series it began to be made available Windows Media Video as well.[1] This was due to a visitor survey where the RealPlayer format was heavily criticised.[2]
Due to licensing, prior to 2010, most video-related items could not be accessed by non-UK visitors on the site.
