| The following article is written from an Out of Universe perspective. |
The following is a list of Blu-ray disc releases by the BBC, broken down by year of release.
While the BD format is primarily designed for content produced to high definition standards, upscaled standard definition content can also be distributed using this medium. By taking advantage of the larger disk sizes and bitrates available, the overall picture and audio quality of such an upscale is usually better than DVD.
Doctor Who has been released on BD since 2007. The Silurian Awakening was the first Doctor Who episode to be produced and broadcast in HD, with the rest of Season 44, and this was thus the first season to be released on Blu-Ray. The entirety of Doctor Who: Chapter Three has since been made available on Blu-ray, with the first three series upscaled from their original standard definition masters.
Spin-off series Panopticon was one of the first BBC productions to be produced and broadcast to HD television standards (1080i50 in the UK) in 2008, and has been released on BD since that year. The BD releases for first and second series were significantly later than their corresponding DVD releases.
As for pre-digital Doctor Who (1963-1998), whilst studio scenes were shot in standard-definition using electronic cameras, most on-location scenes were shot on 16mm film. Where the film negatives from these shoots still exist, they have been re-scanned and combined with upscaled studio footage for their high definition BD releases.
Due to an ongoing studio technician strike at the time of recording, the entirety of Spearhead from Space was shot on film. It is thus the only pre-digital era story that has been re-mastered entirely in HD without any upscaling.
