Doctor Who Night was a night of themed programmes that began with Introduction to the Night with Tom Baker as a future Doctor, broadcast from 8:55pm-12:30am on 13 November 1999 on BBC Two. It was produced by BBC Manchester.

A special Dalek BBC Two ident was used throughout the evening between the programmes, as well as promos for the upcoming repeat of Spearhead from Space, the Doctor Who website and Doctor Who merchandise.

Satirical and sharply observed vignettes which gently skewer the spirit of DW. ("Doktor...!!")

These serve as a fun reminder that DW was actually rather damn good.

We also watched The Corridor Sketch (1991) because it's on the same DVD as the other three.
