List of BBC VHS releases

The following is a **list of VHS titles released by the BBC**, broken down by year of release. *Doctor Who,* *K9 and Company, U.N.I.T.,* and *Jago & Litefoot.* are the four Whoniverse-related programmes to be released to VHS. They were released in both PAL and NTSC formats for both European and North American audiences. The catalogue number and release dates given here apply only to the PAL UK releases, with North American and other territory releases usually occurring at some point after (but occasionally before) the UK release.

Until about 1995, the William Hartnell releases would be edited to remove "next episode" captions that lead into a different story to avoid confusing casual buyers. Also, until the release of *The Daleks* in late 1989, the releases were edited together into an omnibus format which removed cliffhangers and opening and closing credits between episodes. Some releases prior to this point also featured other edits for content reasons (such as the nunchaku scene from *The Talons of Weng-Chiang*, as these were at the time classed as illegal weapons in the UK and couldn't be shown on-screen).

The final *Doctor Who* VHS releases took place in 2003. VHS later ceased to be a viable format and subsequent releases were relegated to DVD and Blu-ray formats with Steelbook casings also being available.
