This is a list of '' Doctor Who '' television serials. Each Serial up to 1989's '' Survival '', with the exception of One Cutaway and One Telemovie , was a multi-episode story; the characters in the column 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 episodes from the early 1970s are only held in black and white. See the List Of Incomplete Doctor Who Serials 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 about, for example, whether to count Season 23's '' The Trial Of A Time Lord '' as one or four serials, and whether the uncompleted '' Shada '' should be included. The numbering scheme used here reflects that used in sources such as ''The Discontinuity Guide'', Outpost Gallifrey and DVD releases, which count ''Trial'' as four serials and include ''Shada''. Starting with the 2005 revival, the production team abandoned the traditional serial format for a largely self-contained episodic format with occasional multi-part story and loose Story Arcs , similar to the style of American dramas such as '' Buffy The Vampire Slayer '' or '' The X-Files ''. 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 has an Individual Title ; no serial has an overall onscreen title until '' The Savages ''. However, the earlier stories are generally referred to by "umbrella" titles that are not used onscreen; much debate over these titles has ensued over the years, with different sources often using different titles for various reasons. The titles in this list are generally those used for commercial release. During the early seasons of the programme most serials are linked together, one usually 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''. See also the list of Individual Episode Titles and Doctor Who Story Title Debate . FIRST DOCTOR ( WILLIAM HARTNELL )
SECOND DOCTOR ( PATRICK TROUGHTON ) THIRD DOCTOR ( JON PERTWEE ) Starting from Season 7, the programme is produced in colour. Copies of all episodes exist, although some only in black and white.
FOURTH DOCTOR ( TOM BAKER )
FIFTH DOCTOR ( PETER DAVISON )
SIXTH DOCTOR ( COLIN BAKER ) SEVENTH DOCTOR ( SYLVESTER MCCOY ) EIGHTH DOCTOR ( PAUL MCGANN ) The only production title held by this story was ''Doctor Who''. However, producer Philip Segal later suggested ''Enemy Within'' as an alternative title. Lacking any other specific name, many fans have adopted this to refer to the movie. Fan groups have also used other informal titles. The DVD release is titled ''Doctor Who: The Movie''.
