Footnotes[]

  1. ↑ Broadcast on BBC One a little over an hour prior to the initial screening of Rose, this episode did not, in fact, go out under the Doctor Who Confidential banner. However, its commonality of production personnel and style lead many to consider it a kind of "pre-cursor" to Confidential. Nevertheless, it is not usually considered "episode 1", but a kind of "episode 0".
  2. ↑ Like A New Dimension, this episode was broadcast on BBC One prior to its related episode. Also like Dimension, Guide did not technically go out under the Confidential banner, but was made by the Confidential production team. This episode is often seen as having an even stronger tie to Confidential because of the presence of the series 1 narrator, Simon Pegg.
  3. ↑ The Christmas Invasion is the only episode of BBC Wales Doctor Who not to have a corresponding broadcast episode of Doctor Who Confidential. A 9-minute mini-episode was made especially for the series 1 DVD release, but it technically did not go out under the Doctor Who Confidential banner. Rather, it used the title, Doctor Who: Backstage at Christmas, and its graphical elements were similar to those used in Doctor Who: A New Dimension. It did, however, use the familiar DWC theme music and series 1 narrator, Simon Pegg. It possibly didn't use the Confidential logo because it was technically a preview of an episode yet to come, rather than a discussion of how an episode already broadcast was made.
  4. ↑ "One Year On" was essentially a preview of series 2, broadcast on BBC Three six days before the initial broadcast of New Earth.
  5. ↑ Unusually, this episode bore a subtitle to the programme's name. Instead of just Doctor Who Confidential, it went out under the banner, Doctor Who Confidential Christmas Special
  6. ↑ This episode did have a limited amount of behind-the-scenes information about The Runaway Bride, but it also served as a behind-the-scenes exploration of the 2006 Doctor Who concert at the Wales Millennium Centre. It was co-produced with BBC Music.
  7. ↑ Though this episode did contain some behind-the-scenes information about Blink, it was mostly concerned with providing a history of the BBC Television Centre.
  8. ↑ For the purposes of this table, "Series 4" shall have the RTD/production team definition of everything from Time Crash to The End of Time
  9. ↑ Officially, this episode had no title. The title used here is based on conjecture.
  10. ↑ This episode did not have a traditional title when broadcast. The title used here is from the BBC's website for the episode.
  11. ↑ This episode did not have a traditional title when broadcast. The title used here is from the BBC's website for the episode.
  12. ↑ This episode had no official title; the title used here is based on conjecture. Neither the programme or name appeared. Like "The Ultimate Guide" it's assumed to be a part of Doctor Who Confidential because of the commonality of production team and narrator. Like "Music and Monsters it was co-produced by BBC Music.
  13. ↑ This episode was broadcast in the first week of January 2009, and served merely to announce the casting of Matt Smith. It wasn't tied to any particular episode of Doctor Who.
  14. ↑ The "Charlie McDonnell series" was originally broadcast on BBC Red Button from 21 December-24 December 2010
  15. ↑ 15.0 15.1 15.2 15.3 The name for this episode was derived from the official BBC Three website, as it appeared in the week of Christmas 2010.[1]
  16. ↑ This episode aired on CBBC after The Impossible Astronaut as a memorial show for Elisabeth Sladen. While not technically shown under the Doctor Who Confidential banner, it is generally considered an episode of the series due to being produced by the Confidential production team and closing with the Confidential logo.
