This is a list of Doctor Who television serials. Most serials up to 1989's Survival were multi-episode stories; the characters in brackets after the serial titles indicate the code used by the production team to designate the serial (where applicable) and are followed by the number of episodes in the serial. Unless otherwise noted, episodes in this period are 25 minutes long.
A number of serials from the 1960s are either missing or incomplete, while some of the early 1970s episodes are only held in black and white. See this list for more details.
The three-digit story numbers are not official designations but are merely to serve as a guide to where the story stands in the overall context of the programme. There is some dispute among fans about, for example, whether to count Season 23's The Trial of a Time Lord as one or four serials (the official production codes count it as three!) and whether the uncompleted Shada should be included. The numbering scheme used here reflects that used in popular reference books like The Discontinuity Guide and on the Region 1 DVD releases, which count Trial as four serials and includes Shada.
Starting with the 2005 revival, the production team abandoned the traditional serial format for a largely self-contained episodic format (with the occasional two-part story and loose story arc elements), similar to the style of American dramas such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Star Trek spin-offs. Unless otherwise noted, the new episodes are 45 minutes long.
In the first two seasons and most of the third season, each episode of a serial had an individual title; no serial had an overall onscreen title until The Savages. However, the earlier stories did have "umbrella" titles that were not used onscreen, and much confusion has existed over the years, with many sources using different titles due to early fandom and reference works being unable to initially access the production files.
During the early seasons of the programme, most serials were linked together, usually one leading directly into the next, although there are some breaks such as between the second season finale The Time Meddler and the third season premiere, Galaxy 4.

Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann)
No title was ever used for this project other than Doctor Who, which is highly confusing in a listing of this nature. However, Enemy Within was suggested as an alternative title by producer Philip Segal and has been used by many fans lacking any other title by which to refer to the television movie; other titles have also been used informally by fan groups. The DVD release calls it "The Movie".

Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
In 2005, the BBC relaunched Doctor Who after a 16-year absence from episodic television. The production team chose to restart the series numbering from scratch, but some fans of the programme prefer to label the 2005 series as Season 27, the 2006 series as Season 28, and so on. The renumbering had led to speculation as to whether the "new series" was in fact not connected to the 1963–89 series; Russell T. Davies, executive producer of the revival, stated explicitly that it is a continuation, and several episodes contain references to the older show. The new series changed to 16:9 widescreen, with a standard episode length of 45 minutes. For the first time since the 1965–66 season, each episode has an individual title, even though some stories are two-parters.

Series 3 (2007)
Recording has begun on the third series.[5] The Doctor will be played by David Tennant, Catherine Tate will appear in the Christmas special, and Freema Agyeman will play Martha Jones, replacing Billie Piper's Rose as the Doctor's travelling companion.[6] Also, John Barrowman will return as Jack Harkness in the season finale. [7]
The first episode is written by Russell T. Davies and the second episode, featuring Shakespeare, is written by Gareth Roberts (long-time Doctor Who novelist who also wrote the TARDISODEs for Series 2 and Attack of the Graske).[8] Davies will also write episodes 3, 11, 12 and 13[9]; Paul Cornell will pen a two-parter, as will script editor Helen Raynor.[10] Also contributing episodes will be Steven Moffat, Chris Chibnall (already the lead writer for the spin-off series Torchwood) and Stephen Greenhorn (who had recently scripted an adaptation of Wide Sargasso Sea for Doctor Who producers BBC Wales).[7] A story to be written by Stephen Fry, originally commissioned for Series 2 but moved due to logistical issues, has been scrapped, apparently for lack of time on Fry's part.[11]
The second block of filming, consisting of the first two episodes, is directed by Charles Palmer. (The Runaway Bride was the first block.) The third block, comprising episodes 3 and 6, is directed by Richard Clarke; James Strong will direct the fourth block (episodes 4 and 5, a two-part story).[12] Euros Lyn and Graeme Harper will also return to direct stories in the 2007 series.[7]Cite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the help page).
The second episode, set in 1599 London, will feature an appearance by William Shakespeare (played by Dean Lennox Kelly) and a plot to destroy the Earth. [13][14] Scenes for this episode were filmed in Coventry[15][16], Warwick[17] and at the recreated Globe Theatre in London.[14] Other guest stars appearing in the first filming block include Roy Marsden, Anne Reid, Christina Cole, Jalaal Hartley and Sam Marks.[12] Another episode will feature Thelma Barlow as a character named Lady Thaw, and Mark Gatiss as a scientist.[18]
Other stories will feature alien races named the Plasmavores (described as "blood sucking aliens") and the Judoon ("a clan of galactic stormtroopers"); one story will be set in 1930s New York.[7]
British tabloids have regularly reported rumours about plot elements in the third series, many of which have been denied by official sources. The Daily Mirror claimed that the Ice Warriors would return;[19] Russell T. Davies has denied this, but has confirmed that there will be "a couple of returning monsters" in Series 3.[20] Similarly, the BBC and Davies denied a report in The Sun that the Rani would return in this series, played by Zöe Lucker.[21][22][9] The South Wales Evening Post has reported that in one episode, an alien disguised as a motorcycle courier will transport a London hospital to the moon, leaving only a crater in its place; Swansea's Singleton Hospital was used to represent the hospital in filming.[23] Speaking at the MOBO Awards, Freema Agyeman confirmed "aliens on the moon".[24] The Daily Star has reported that the third series finale will reveal that the Doctor has a son; this is supposedly intended to secure the future of the series if the Doctor dies after using up all of his regenerations.[25] This has been denied by Davies and several other reliable sources.[9] The Sun has also reported that Ardal O'Hanlon will appear in one episode.[26] Template:Spoilerend
