Cover of the first Doctor Who TV soundtrack release, and covers of four "Lost Episode" soundtracks released by the BBC Radio Collection

There have been many official and unofficial Doctor Who and related spin-offs released on audio, as LPs, audiocassettes, audio CDs and MP3 CDs. Recordings here are listed by their original release date.

Television soundtracks

In 1966, an abridged recording of episode 6 of The Chase was released with narration on a 7-inch record. In 1979, the BBC released an abridged version of Genesis of the Daleks. In 1992 a brief series began releasing audio versions of missing stories from the archives, with link narration provided by one of the actors who played the Doctor. The soundtracks that were known to exist at the time were not the optimal audio quality and the range only released a few stories. A second series of "Lost Episode" soundtrack releases began in 1999. This series differed from earlier releases by having "linking" narration (to describe action and other sequences that were originally visual) read by an actor or actress who had played a companion in the original serial, rather than one of the actors who played the Doctor (except The Macra Terror, which used the original narration by Colin Baker). Another difference is that all the later releases were remastered for release by Mark Ayres from tapes recorded "off-air" at the original time of broadcast, or, when necessary, due to quality and possibly availability, from surviving films. From 1999 to 2004, these recordings were released under the "BBC Radio Collection" banner, and, starting in 2004, they have been released under the "BBC Audio" banner, with different outer packaging. The series was officially completed in 2006 with the release of The Reign of Terror; however, a rerelease of the soundtrack for The Tomb of the Cybermen was produced and was followed by new audio productions of available serials. All have been released by the BBC unless otherwise noted. This list is in order by release date.

This was the first time that all the scenes from all seven episodes appeared unedited in audio form, with the exception of the Beatles song Paperback Writer being replaced by Hold Tight by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich in the second of the two scenes set in the coffee bar. The previous 1992 cassette release had to cut out both coffee bar scenes with songs from The Seekers and The Beatles playing in the background. This 2003 CD release got copyright clearance for the song Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen by The Seekers in the first coffee bar scene, but Mark Ayres discusses in a Doctor Who Magazine interview in issue 336 how a rights clearance for The Beatles song was not only unfeasible due to cost, but that the rights owner would not issue a clearance for an audiobook CD release under any circumstances. Mark goes on to describe how he painstakingly was able to use another song in the background instead, digitally inserting Hold Tight in place of Paperback Writer.
