TIMELINE
5th June 1989 - The Time Warrior is released in edited form on VHS by BBC Video (cat no. BBCV4245) with a U certificate and RRP of £9.99. The compilation clocks in at just over 90 minutes after the removal of intermediate opening titles and closing credits, including the loss of two short sections of material from Part Two totalling 25 seconds.
September 2007 - The Time Warrior is released uncut on DVD by BBC DVD via 2|entertain (cat no. BBCDVD2334), this time with a PG certificate . All four parts are restored from digital copies of the original 2-inch quad videotapes.

These videos are always so interesting. Glad this niche bit of Doctor Who/BBC history is being documented.
He’s been! He’s been! Thanks Pip, for all you do for us kids.
I absolutely Love this series on your channel! It’s so cool to see the edits made and some facts about the VHS and DVD releases! 😁
I used to have this second hand on video and had forgotten about the BBC Video ident!
Love these videos Pip ! Keep em coming 😊
Another great video Pip! Always thought it was odd that Time Warrior and Talons weren’t released uncut on VHS - two Bob Holmes bangers!
The Seeds of Death too. All three were supposed to be reissued uncut over 1999/2000 but were cancelled. It was probably due to the fact DVD was slowly taking over and VHS would soon be dead. Therefore, the BBC decided to get every unavailable story out although in May 2001, they reissued City of Death. Bit pointless since the slot could have gone to an unreleased story or one of those three edited tales.
After WHSmith brought out The Davros Collection in 2001, the Restoration Team suggested The Sontaran Collection as a follow-up. However, the retailers opted for The Time Lord Collection instead. Shame, as TTW could have come out unedited five or so years earlier.
Great vid and comparison
I don't know why the credits on the master tape of episode 4 faded between the captions instead of straight cutting between them, did any other episodes do this?
It's the same across all four parts. The captions were badly keyed in at the time.
@@PipMadeley Makes sense.
Lovely stuff!
How could you forget to credit David Daker and John J Carney?😮
These things happen - and makes these videos slightly more interesting.
@@PipMadeleyI’m surprised they don’t recreate the credits when restoring without using the original credits as a side-by-side reference!
Try comparing VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray on Doctor Who: Trial of the Timelord
Buy me a external Blu-ray drive and we'll talk :)
