''Doctor Who'' originally ran for 26 seasons on BBC One, from 23 November 1963 until 6 December 1989. During the original run, each weekly episode formed part of a story (or "serial")—usually of four to six parts in earlier years and three to four in later years.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}} Some notable exceptions were: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', which aired twelve episodes (plus an earlier one-episode teaser,<ref>''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]''.

The programme was intended to be educational and for family viewing on the early Saturday evening schedule.<ref name="Doctor Who Education">{{Cite web |title=10 things you didn't know about Doctor Who |url=http://uktv.co.uk/watch/stepbystep/aid/576125 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110116052952/http://uktv.co.uk/watch/stepbystep/aid/576125 |archive-date=16 January 2011 |access-date=20 January 2012 |publisher=[[Watch (TV channel)|Watch]]}}</ref> It initially alternated stories set in the past, which taught younger audience members about history, and with those in the future or outer space, focusing on science.<ref name="Doctor Who Education" /> This was also reflected in the Doctor's original companions, one of whom was a science teacher and another a history teacher.<ref name="Doctor Who Education" />

However, science fiction stories came to dominate the programme, and the history-oriented episodes, which were not popular with the production team,<ref name="Doctor Who Education" /> were dropped after ''[[The Highlanders (Doctor Who)|The Highlanders]]'' (1967).

The early stories were serialised in nature, with the narrative of one story flowing into the next and each episode having its own title, although produced as distinct stories with their own production codes.<ref name="BBC Doctor Who Episode List">{{Cite web |title=Doctor Who Episode List |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/treasurehunt/missing/drwho.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017100338/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/treasurehunt/missing/drwho.shtml |archive-date=17 October 2012 |access-date=26 October 2013 |publisher=BBC}}</ref> Following ''[[The Gunfighters (Doctor Who)|The Gunfighters]]'' (1966), however, each serial was given its own title, and the individual parts were assigned episode numbers.<ref name="BBC Doctor Who Episode List" />

The serial format changed for the [[Doctor Who (series 1)|2005 revival]], with what was now called a series usually consisting of thirteen 45-minute, self-contained episodes (60 minutes with adverts, on overseas commercial channels) and an extended 60-minute episode broadcast on Christmas Day. This system was shortened to twelve episodes and one Christmas special following the revival's [[Doctor Who (series 8)|eighth series]], and ten episodes from the [[Doctor Who (series 11)|eleventh series]]. Each series includes standalone and multiple episodic stories, often linked with a loose story arc resolved in the series finale. As in the early "classic" era, each episode has its own title, whether stand-alone or part of a larger story. Occasionally, regular-series episodes will exceed the 45-minute run time;{{citation needed|date=March 2025}} for example, the episodes "[[Journey's End (Doctor Who)|Journey's End]]" (2008) and "[[The Eleventh Hour (Doctor Who)|The Eleventh Hour]]" (2010) were longer than an hour.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/doctor-who-revisiting-the-stolen-earthjourneys-end-at-10-2/|work=[[Den of Geek]]|title=Doctor Who: revisiting The Stolen Earth/Journey's End at 10|date=13 July 2018|accessdate=6 March 2025|first=Mark|last=Harrison}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/apr/03/doctor-who-eleventh-hour|date=3 April 2010|title=Doctor Who: Matt Smith's debut in The Eleventh Hour - the verdict|first=Daniel|last=Martin|work=[[The Guardian]]|accessdate=6 March 2025}}</ref>

{{DW episode count}} ''Doctor Who'' instalments have been televised since 1963, ranging between 25-minute episodes (the most common format for the classic era), 45/50-minute episodes (for ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks]]'' in the 1984 series, a single season in 1985, and the most common format for the revival era since 2005), two feature-length productions (1983's "[[The Five Doctors]]" and the [[Doctor Who (1996 film)|1996 television film]]), twelve [[List of Doctor Who Christmas and New Year's specials|Christmas specials]] (most of approximately 60 minutes' duration, one of 72 minutes), and four additional specials ranging from 60 to 75 minutes in 2009, 2010, and 2013. Four mini-episodes, running about eight minutes each, were also produced for the 1993, 2005, and 2007 [[Children in Need]] charity appeals, while another mini-episode was produced in 2008 for a ''Doctor Who''–themed edition of [[The Proms]]. The 1993 two-part story, entitled ''[[Dimensions in Time]]'', was made in collaboration with the cast of the BBC soap-opera ''[[EastEnders]]'' and was filmed partly on the ''EastEnders'' set. A two-part mini-episode was also produced for the 2011 edition of [[Comic Relief]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Starting with the 2009 special "[[Planet of the Dead]]", the series was filmed in [[1080i]] for [[HDTV]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 February 2009 |title=Doctor Who to be filmed in HD |url=http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/#newseries-hd0 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20090106032738/http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/#newseries-hd0 |archive-date=6 January 2009 |access-date=5 February 2009 |website=Doctor Who Online}}</ref> and broadcast simultaneously on BBC One and [[BBC HD]].

No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were transferred to film for editing before transmission and exist in their broadcast form.<ref>{{Cite news |title='Doctor Who': Restoring and Reconstructing Missing Episodes |publisher=BBC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/dna/place-lancashire/plain/A14066589 |url-status=live |access-date=20 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121201140746/http://news.bbc.co.uk/dna/place-lancashire/plain/A14066589 |archive-date=1 December 2012}}</ref>

Some episodes have been returned to the BBC from the archives of other countries that bought prints for broadcast or by private individuals who acquired them by various means. Early colour videotape recordings made off-air by fans have also been retrieved, as well as excerpts filmed from the television screen onto 8&nbsp;mm [[cine film]] and clips that were shown on other programmes. Audio versions of all lost episodes exist from home viewers who made tape recordings of the show. Short clips from every story with the exception of ''[[Marco Polo (Doctor Who)|Marco Polo]]'' (1964), "[[Mission to the Unknown]]" (1965) and ''[[The Massacre (Doctor Who)|The Massacre]]'' (1966) also exist.

In addition to these, there are off-screen photographs made by photographer [[John Cura]], who was hired by various production personnel to document many of their programmes during the 1950s and 1960s, including ''Doctor Who''.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} These have been used in [[Doctor Who missing episodes#Reconstruction|fan reconstructions]] of the serials.

"Official" reconstructions have also been released by the BBC on VHS, on MP3 [[CD-ROM]], and as special features on DVD.
