List of Doctor Who serials

This is a list of Doctor Who serials. Each serial was a multi-episode storyline; numbers in brackets after the serial titles indicate the number of episodes in the serial. Unless otherwise noted, episodes were 25 minutes long.

William Hartnell

Note that for the early Hartnell years, each episode of a serial had an individual title; no serial had an overall onscreen title until "The Savages". The earlier stories did have overall titles though they were not used onscreen and a lot of 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.

  • 100,000 BC (4 episodes) ''Also known as An Unearthly Child, The Tribe of Gum and The Cavemen
