'''[[wikipedia:iTunes|iTUNES]]''' is a media player and online library, launched in 2001 by Apple. The platform enabled customers to either buy or rent music and TV programmes. iTunes USA , iTunes UK and the other international iTunes stores all offer a different catalogue of programmes.

==DOCTOR WHO ON iTUNES==

From '''July 2008''', iTunes USA had the first three seasons of the [[NEW SERIES|new series]] available; this was the first time that '''Doctor Who''' could be purchased as a download.

By '''August 2008''' a very small selection of digital copies of Classic serials was also made available via the iTunes Store US, many of which had not yet been released on DVD. Only the second, third, fourth and sixth Doctors were represented. Each story cost $7.96, or individual episodes could be purchased for $1.99.

The 14 stories were:

By '''March 2009''', iTunes UK released a small selection of Classic episodes, but only Pertwee and Tom Baker; the core list was mostly an exact duplication of the choice offered by iTunes USA above, but with several additional titles.

We don't have a full list of what was available, but these were some of the titles:

On '''12 October 2013''' iTunes was the only official platform from which the newly-recovered second Doctor serials [[The Enemy of the World]] and [[The Web of Fear]] were available to purchase (the missing third episode of the Yeti story was supplied as a tele-snap slide show).
{{YouTube table |9Kgd8sNJhmU|'''Enemy of the World''' on iTunes|GPm6zcy_6j0|'''Web of Fear on iTunes'''
}}

By '''2014''', iTunes had most if not '''ALL''' the Classic serials available to rent or own on both the US and UK platforms.

Also added to the list were the DVD editions of [[The Underwater Menace]] (with tele-snaps) (from '''27 October 2015''') and [[The Power of the Daleks]] (animated) (from '''November 2016'''). Then from '''24 November 2017''', the newly-animated release of [[Shada]] could also be downloaded.

'''Classic stories''' were indexed under '''three categories''':

It's not known exactly how many stories have been available on the site over the years, as some have presumably been removed when the rights expired. The '''''current''''' list (as at September 2019) has the following 47 stories, including ones with animation or tele-snaps (marked #):

There is also a second menu of stories called '''The Best of…''' (although it's debatable that the selection given for the sixth Doctor was suitable for this title!), which was a set package of three or four stories per Doctor, some of which were not available to purchase as individual stories (per the list above). The second Doctor set included [[The Ice Warriors]], with the two animated episodes from the DVD:

The same nine '''Sampler''' serials were also available on [[Vudu]].
