BBC Choice was the BBC's first exclusively digital channel., and was launched on 23 September 1998.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Doctor Who in November 1998, BBC Choice aired a week of "fan favourites" featuring one episode of each of the eight Doctors, plus all of Genesis of the Daleks and the documentary "Thirty Years in the TARDIS". Sylvester McCoy hosted the event, with specially filmed linking segments and introductions:

  • 15 October 1999: All six parts of Invasion of the Dinosaurs air (with the first three episodes at 9pm, followed by Sportstalk at 10.30pm, with the final three at 11pm) as part of a "Dino Nite" special. The published listings stated that the episodes featured "previously unseen footage", which presumably means the early edit of part 3 that the BBC held was used.


The channel closed on 8 February 2003. It was succeeded by BBC Three (which later became the home to repeats of New Series Doctor Who, Doctor Who Confidential, and Torchwood).
