This is a list of Doctor Who serials that, as far as is known, no longer exist in the form that they were transmitted (that is, serials that are incomplete in the archives). These serials are incomplete due to the BBC's former policy of holding only a limited archive of episodes, and wiping tapes belonging to shows that they didn't see a potential future market in. Many other shows, such as Dad's Army have been similarly affected.

For a more detailed discussion of this, see Doctor Who missing episodes.

All missing epiosdes from the missing William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton stories exist in audio form and all the audio soundtracks will have been released by 2006. Also many of the stories have "telesnaps" taken during filming which exist. The BBC has made use of these "telesnaps" by recreating the lost episodes with the pictures. They can be viewed here.

Black and white only serials starring the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee)

[edit]

While all Jon Pertwee stories are complete a few only exist in Black and White when they should be in colour. Three Jon Pertwee serials were colourised by the Doctor Who Restoration Team for later video release. They are The Dæmons, Terror of the Autons and Doctor Who and the Silurians. Whilst many attempts to colourise the remaining serials, the BBC do not have the budget (approximately twenty thousand pounds per episode) to pay for the technology to have them restored. The last "lost" Jon Pertwee episode (Invasion of the Dinosaurs, episode 1) was discovered in the early 1983.
