*After a year long break without any repeats, '''Doctor Who''' returned on a daily basis, from Tuesday, '''5 November 1991''', at 5.30pm, still as part of '''THE AFTERNOON SHOW''', starting with the remaining season 17 stories (that had concluded in mid-1990), and ending with Tom Baker's final appearance in {{5V}} part four on Friday, '''3 January 1992''', with the odd pre-emption. In some of the eastern regions, the show was pushed back to 6.00pm to cater for sports coverage. 
*There were no further repeats during the rest of 1992.

*After a year-long break, starting from Monday, '''8 March 1993''', the next run of repeats was scheduled, now at the very early hour of '''4.00am, 4.30am or 4.35am (!)''', Monday to Friday. The run opened with Peter Davison's first season (with parts three and four of {{5Y}} accidentally playing in reverse order on '''22 and 23 March 1993'''), then right through (but with {{6K}} skipped) to Colin Baker's first season (with {{6X}} and {{6W}} in the correct order), ending with {{6Z}}. The episodes then jumped right back to the beginning of Tom Baker's era, but the often-repeated {{4A}} and {{4B}} were omitted during this re-run, while a very much out of order {{4D}} aired after {{4Z}}! 
*Mid-way through {{4Z}}, on Monday, '''22 November 1993''' to Thursday, '''25 November 1993''', at 6.00pm, the first-ever serial, {{A}}, was aired to celebrate the series' '''30th Anniversary'''. 
*Season 15 was then followed by yet another run of the Peter Davison episodes, but starting with {{6A}} (his first four stories having previously re-run back in May 1988), and once again running right through to {{6R}} (still the heavily-censored version), but again skipping {{6K}}. 
*During February 1994, there were a number of disruptions and pre-emptions due to sporting events. Episodes generally aired at 4.35am. But on some of the dates, more than one episode played back to back, sometimes with the last and the first of consecutive serials. (Back to back episodes aired complete, without titles being removed.) The first episode started at 4.10am, and the following at 4.35am. (An illustrative sample showing the double-up of different stories on 17 February 1994 is shown here.) 
*The repeats concluded on Thursday, '''3 March 1994''', with part four of {{6Z}}.
*The ABC's rights to screen '''Doctor Who''' expired on '''30 June 1994'''. They did not renew these rights, and therefore could not repeat seasons 23, 24, 25 and 26. (Season 23 and 26 were never repeated by the ABC in the Twentieth Century.) 
*The transmission of {{6Z}} in March 1994 marked the last time that regular repeat screenings of '''Doctor Who''' would air in the Twentieth Century on the channel that had been its home for '''29 years'''…
