You knew this was coming. It was inevitable, really. Another Doctor Who compilation video on the show's official YouTube Channel. This time it's the "Series 12 Best of Moments" – and it's less than four minutes long! That's a bit of a surprise. It's like a quick flash with some commentary from showrunner Chris Chibnall […]

Doctor Who fans aren't the kind of folks to let self-quarantining and social distancing keep them from showing their love and appreciation for the series. What's really added to that sense of "global community" is how the writers, producers, actors, and others have joined in on the festivities – from live-tweet rewatches with the likes […]

Following up on Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker offering some timely advice and showrunner Chris Chibnall posting an original short story involving the 13th Doctor's regneration, Russell T Davies has penned and posted a prequel to "Rose" – the episode that marked the series. In the following intro, Davies retraces the steps that lead to […]

Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall did his part to ease fans' fears and concerns over the growing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Wednesday, posting a short story starring the Doctor that speaks of hardship, strength, and the "regenerative energy" inside each of us to get through these "strange times" (as Chibnall wrote in his accompanying letter). […]

BBC's Doctor Who sparked off a storm of debate and hand-wringing amongst fans in the Series 12 finale "The Timeless Children". It was one of those "everything you knew was wrong!" types of retcons that are the vogue for Science Fiction and superhero stories these days. Love it or hate it, the new lore is […]

So the finale of Series 12 of Doctor Who came and went. We got the big reveal that would change everything – and didn't. Not really. It was a lot of fun watching hardcore fans have a meltdown on social media. All those cries of showrunner Chris Chibnall destroying the show, destroying 60 years of […]

The biggest surprise of Doctor Who Series 12 was not the reappearance of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). It wasn't even the revelation of the Timeless Child. No, the biggest shock was the reveal of a secret, previously unknown Doctor. This Doctor is linked to the secret of the Timeless Child. Neither she nor the […]

This is getting fun! Less than a day after the Daily Mirror reported that Doctor Who stars Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole's Graham and Ryan were set to depart after the upcoming special "Revolution of the Daleks" (expected late 2020/early 2021 holiday season), the Radio Times adds a little "nuance" to the report. Mandip Gill's […]

Well, that didn't take long. Only a day after Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall offered fans a tease for upcoming special "Revolution of the Daleks" (expected to materilize late 2020/early 2021, holiday season), we're getting news that not all of the Doctor's (Jodie Whittaker) companions will be back for Series 13. The Daily Mirror is reporting […]

Okay, so yesterday's Doctor Who finale exploded quite a bit. Lots of people delighted, lots of people crying foul, and lots of people arguing about things that did or didn't happen. So what does that mean? A Bleeding Cool listicle, of course. Why did Missy talk about remembering the Doctor when she was a little […]

So we're guessing that a lot of people out there in "social media land" have some thoughts on the Doctor Who Series 12 finale "The Timeless Children" – Bleeding Cool's resident Doctor Who expert Rich Johnston sure did. From his thoughts on both the episode overall and how the Doctor's history has been rewritten to […]

Doctor Who fans are obsessed with continuity, with where everything is supposed to fit and when. Ahead of this weekend's season finale, fans have been wondering where the latest Master (played delectably by Sacha Dhawan) fits in the timeline. The last time we saw the Master was in the final episode of Series 10, where […]

It's all been building up to this, folks: after a "summer blockbuster"-like run of nine episodes, the BBC's Doctor Who Series 12 is coming to a close with season finale "The Timeless Children" – and by the time the dust settles, The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Ryan (Tosin Cole) are […]

Marketing synergy: that's why the BBC knows what to do with Doctor Who now. Since the Cybermen are the baddies in the 2-part season finale starting this Sunday ("Ascension of the Cybermen" and extended 65-minute wrap-up "The Timeless Children"), it was their turn to get the video treatment – and they get a lengthy one. […]

Showrunner Chris Chibnall did tell us that Doctor Who Series 12 was going to have much more of a "summer blockbuster" feel to it, and he definitely hasn't disappointed in that department. The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Ryan (Tosin Cole) have had to face threats old and new – […]

With Doctor Who wrapping up it's Series 12 run starting with this weekend's "Ascension of the Cybermen" (the first of a two-part finale that culminates in the extended 65-minute wrap-up "The Timeless Children"), we can always depend on the Radio Times for some juicy news and teasers. For this go-around, we have none other than […]

Fans of Doctor Who might still be rubbing their eyes in disbelief – but we've actually reached the two-part finale of Series 12, "Ascension of the Cybermen" (followed by extended 65-minute wrap-up "The Timeless Children"). Written by series showrunner Chris Chibnall, directed by Jamie Magnus Stone (X Company), the episode is expected to feature several […]

While we may be only a few weeks away until the BBC's Doctor Who wraps its twelfth series, viewers will be glad to know that news is already buzzing about Series 13. Show producer Tracie Simpson revealed (and Radio Times is supporting) at the Gallifrey One fan convention that filming would commence in September of […]

We kind of saw this coming. The BBC released a Doctor Who video compilation of our TARDIS traveller's best speeches – and it's actually a half-hour long. Pretty impressive running time for what's billed as "Part 1". The Doctor always made speeches. As a patrician authority figure, the character was pretty much built to do […]

If you're like us, you are righteously impressed with Doctor Who Series 12 (and if you're not like us, well… you're wrong). Not saying it's been perfect, but Chris Chibnall has definitely kept his pre-season promise of this being a big season. So with a red-hot season comes a ton of episode examining by the […]
