Notes

This audio drama was recorded on 15 and 16 July 2008.
In the original play on which the audio story is based, Trevor Martin's Doctor regenerated from Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor, by means of having Martin obscure his face under a wig and removing it as the Doctor regenerated. In this version, however, the previous Doctor is heard with the voice of Nicholas Briggs, with no resemblance to Pertwee's voice.

For the purposes of this list, a "regeneration story" is one in which a regeneration is actually and initially depicted. For this reason The War Games is not included below, even though it is commonly thought of as a "regeneration story". It doesn't actually include a clear scene of regeneration, and the preponderance of stories in other media confirms that the Second Doctor did not regenerate at the end of it.
Additionally, immediate post-regeneration stories, like the 2005 Children in Need Special Born Again — and ones like Castrovalva, where the regeneration sequence was replayed — are not included.
