As for classic-era Doctor Who, 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. For the 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition released the following year, The Day of the Doctor was presented in 2D only. However, BBC Worldwide kept the slowed down frame rate that had been necessary for the 3D release, resulting in the story being presented at 1080p24. Following complaints from buyers, a disc replacement programme was launched - allowing the disc containing the 'faulty' master to be exchanged for one that had been mastered at 1080i50. Behind the Sofa: Five new Behind the Sofa episodes featuring Katy Manning (Jo), Peter Davison (The Fifth Doctor), Wendy Padbury (Zoe), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Janet Fielding (Tegan), Sophie Aldred (Ace) and director Michael E Briant.

If not that, then bring the Standard editions up to sync with Limited, instead of delaying them by over a year plus. BD has also become the medium for Ultra high definition (UHD) content, taking advantage of even higher capacity discs to fit video that has four-times the resolution of standard HD content. UHD video also has additional features such as High Dynamic Range (HDR), and requires a compatible UHD BD player to be able to read the discs. The first UHD Doctor Who release was Twice Upon a Time in 2018.Starring William Hartnell as the First Doctor. All surviving First Doctor serials and episodes were released on DVD from 2002 to 2013. The surviving serials and episodes of Season 2 were released on Blu-ray in 2022. Resurrection of the Daleks was originally intended to comprise four 25-minute episodes, but was broadcast as two 46-minute episodes due to the BBC's coverage of the 1984 Winter Olympics. The DVD contains the story in a four-part format. These limited sets are somewhat of an investment, so I personally would rather know if there is a production schedule issue, rather than not know at all what’s going on, particularly on the 60th Anniversary year of Doctor Who. The other related incident was an agent learning from online blabbermouths that one of their client’s works was being readied for release before they’d been officially told. The result delayed the release of a 4th Doctor story and helped lead to the increased secrecy restrictions.
