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).

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 […]
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 […]
BBC's Doctor Who Series 12 finale this coming Sunday promises big changes to the show's lore. It's all about Gallifrey and how everything we thought we knew was wrong. Of course, the BBC saw fit to put together a video primer about the Doctor's home planet as both a summary and way to get newer […]
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 […]
Once Doctor Who Series 12 brought the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her companions Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) back to BBC One and BBC America screens to kick off our new year, it wasted no time throwing our heroes into a grand adventure filled with spies, intrigue, world domination, and… […]

BBC's Doctor Who changed everything for the show with "Fugitive of the Judoon". It upended the show's lore and threw everything we thought we knew about it up in the air, just as it did to the Doctor. It put us in the Doctor's shoes and blew our minds. For once, the Doctor didn't have […]

The BBC's official Doctor Who channel released a trailer for Doctor Who: The Collection – Season 26 Blu-Ray and DVD box set, featuring Sophie Aldred as the 7th Doctor's (Sylvester McCoy) companion Ace. All companions who leave or are left behind tend to carry an air of melancholy about them. They always wait in hope that […]
We all love BBC's Doctor Who for its freewheeling stories, lovably nutty hero, and ability to be virtually any kind of story it puts its mind to being. Sometimes it feels completely random and arbitrary, but it has a lot of deep ideas embedded in its lore. From the 1960's to the 1980's, writers often […]
Steven Moffat's run on Doctor Who with Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor might be the oddest, flawed, and most ambitious period of the show since its return in 2005. Television shows tend to become an extension of the showrunners' interests and sensibilities, none more than Doctor Who. In casting Capaldi as The Doctor, Moffat […]
As the latest series of Doctor Who draws to a close – it's not over yet, we still the New Year's Special to cap it off – the BBC has released the full theme for the 13th Doctor, composed by new series composer Segun Akinola. When the show was brought back in 2005, Russell T. […]

The following article is a mixture of speculation, of guesswork, of sources and of gossip. It may be completely wrong. But if correct, it would be one hell of a Doctor Who spoiler. So, consider yourself completely and utterly warned if you take one more step.
