Due to the nature of the original version of this story being a single episode, the entire thing was recreated by UCLAN in 2019, in the same format and as close to original as possible, and released onto YouTube.
Note: Even though all stories from the Jon Pertwee era exist in full, some of the stories were wiped in their original 625 line PAL colour videotape format, leaving only 16mm black and white film telerecordings made for overseas sales; and some episodes were electronically restored to colour in later years.
25-minute episodes resumed. The Trial of a Time Lord was produced as four separate serials (The Mysterious Planet, Mindwarp, Terror of the Vervoids, The Ultimate Foe) with 3 of them consisting of 4 episodes and the last being 2 episodes, making up 14 episodes. It is considered a single story by this wiki.
Beginning with Tennant's era, the producers began varying the story formats, adding occasional mini-episodes (usually produced for charity) and an annual Christmas Special story (both of which are 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.
Episodes began being filmed in HD from Planet of the Dead.
Unusual to the show, a series of five specials were featured following the series finale Journey's End to compensate for the lack of an actual series in the year between this and the following series; two Christmas Specials, an Easter Special, an Autumn Special and a New Year Special. The second Christmas special and the New Year special marks the first time since Season 26 that a multi-parter is labelled under one title.
These specials were generally considered by the production team at the time to be part of the preceding Series 4, being specifically coded "4.X". David Tennant considered Planet of the Dead to be "Episode 15".
Series 7 was split again, with episodes one through five — featuring the outgoing companions' final adventures — being broadcast in late 2012, and episodes six through thirteen, introducing a new companion, following in 2013. The 2012 Christmas Special was broadcast in-between.
This series was the first of the revived series not to include any two-part stories. It was marketed as a series of "blockbuster" stories, instead.
A special episode was produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the series, alongside the Christmas special. Neither are considered to be a part of either series 7 or series 8.
Beginning with series 11, the incoming executive producers changed the season standard of twelve, 45-minute episodes and a Christmas Special, to ten, 50-minute episodes (with some variance) and a New Year Special, as well as changing the broadcast day to Sunday. Like series 7, this series did not include any two-part stories.
The main run of series 13 was entitled Doctor Who: Flux.[6] This series re-introduced the serialised format, unrepresented since Doctor Who's original run in season 26. It was the first series since season 23 (The Trial of a Time Lord) to be made into one continuing serial.
This was a format previously used in Torchwood, specifically for series 3 (Children of Earth) and series 4 (Miracle Day). For the first time in Doctor Who since the William Hartnell era, individual episodes were also given their own story titles.
As part of the 100th Anniversary celebrations of the BBC, an event was held across a week, called the BBC 100, which included the special episode The Power of the Doctor, labelled a Centenary Special.

Contrary to common belief, season 10 kicked off in the last week of December 1972 — not in 1973, as would be expected. Season 10 actually began nine years after season 1 started. In fact, The Three Doctors began nine years to the week after The Daleks first aired.

For the purposes of this list, "Series 4" is considered to be the production series 4, which ran all the way from Time Crash to The End of Time.
The years seen in this section may seem decidedly "off". Remember, however, that this list only gives the first year in which an episode from a series was broadcast. David Tennant, unusual amongst other Doctors, began and ended on special episodes, not regular ones. Thus, his series actually begin in 2005, 2006 and 2007 — not 2006, 2007 and 2008 as is commonly thought.
