“I am a citizen of the universe, and a gentleman to boot! Remembering the late William Hartnell, who played the first Doctor, born on this day in 1908. #DoctorWho
I think it's wonderful; how the story morphs and grows as the serial progresses, how it ends its era dropping so many threads that would be picked up in #DoctorWho future by keeping things vague enough to be developed, rather than be dead ends.
Remarkably for a 10-parter it in no way drags, even the run about eps have a [sort of] point and develops that widening story.
The ending ep kills me and I love and despair at Jamie and Zoe's ending. Especially Zoe's; she grew a lot in her time and it's all gone and she knows, some part of her at the end KNOWS she's forgotten something and I hate it and love it. #DoctorWhoRewatch
The 5th Doctor's era began 43 years ago on this day, 4th January 1982, with Season 19's Castrovalva - Peter Davison's first story as the Fifth Doctor. 😀 #DoctorWho

“So you're my replacements... A dandy and a clown..!” On this day 1972 - Season 10 of Doctor Who began with William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton reprising their roles as The Doctor in The Three Doctors - Episode 1 #DoctorWho
Doctor Who fans in Bristol knit a giant scarf longer than a bridge in honor of the iconic scarf worn by the fourth Doctor. At 267 meters (875 ft) long it was longer than Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge. What a fun way to use up all your scrap yarn! bbc.com/news/articles/c89zzw3l… #DoctorWho #knitting
Welcome to this very silly series of blog posts where I attempt to identify all the mobile phones used in Doctor Who. The 2024 Xmas special is fairly light on phones. Right at the end, we see Ruby Sunday calling her mum.
The Doctor's deadliest enemies, The Daleks, made their debut on this day 61 years ago in the classic 1963 story The Daleks - Episode 1 - The Dead Planet, and they’re still going strong! Happy Dalek Day! #DoctorWho #daleks

Today marks 51 years since Sarah Jane Smith, played by the wonderful Elisabeth Sladen, made her debut in The Time Warrior on the 15th December, 1973. The story also introduced the Sontarans, the slit-scan titles sequence and the iconic Doctor Who diamond logo! #DoctorWho
In the age of various streaming services as well as commercial media such as Blu-rays, not having access to a television series or film might seem like a problem that only existed in the Dark Ages,…
"The Happiness Patrol" (Sylvester McCoy) (This was a great season, but I don't have this one on DVD. This is the next season for their Blu-Ray release series, BTW, also includes "Silver Nemesis" and "Remembrance of the Daleks", both great)
"Invasion of the Dinosaurs" (Jon Pertwee) "The Time Warrior" (Jon Pertwee) (I think had these on VHS, recorded off-air, but it's been a long time since I watched them). #DoctorWho#JonPertwee#SylvesterMcCoy
I think that’s one of the many reasons I love #DoctorWho - it is in many ways a chronicle of the history of (British) tv and how we experience it over the years - experiences like your childhood are not the prominent way anymore in this streaming/binging age (for good or ill).
And surely how a modern audience ‘consumes’ old tv changes that relationship so I think we should put increasing effort into recognising the original experience/context. If only for the die-hard fans or tv historians.
It's interesting reading my reference books from before the serial was rediscovered and how perceptions change, and how they have to theorise about different aspects we now *know* (About Time spends a lot of time considering when this was set).

Okay, guys: this wonderful fan-made series I've been following for years is complete now. It has witty writing, some of my fave Twelfth episodes (including the TV series), great acting, and wonderful arcs for the characters. Lots of references and Easter eggs for die-hard fans too. Give it a go if you haven't already!! #doctorwho #twelfthdoctorfanaudios #TheTwelfthDoctor #PeterCapaldi
I started watching Doctor Who during the Troughton era and I remember Wendy's introduction as 'new' companion, Zoe Heriot, like it was yesterday. While I missed Victoria (Deborah Watling) when she left, I very quickly took to Zoe.
I am not old and grumpy and I love the War Games and aything that helps bring more people discover it is a good thing. I am not old and grumpy... #DoctorWho #DoctorWhoDay
Seeing as how I'm in 60s #DoctorWho in my #DoctorWhoRewatch (currently struggling to understand what's going on in the remaining #TheDaleksMasterplan eps), I thought my #DoctorWhoDay should see me rewatch Josh Snares' missing episodes series. I heartedly recommend.

"Empire of Death" epitomized RTD's approach to season finales that he deployed to popular (if not always critical) acclaim during his first stint as showrunner. What happened this time?
Remembering the late William Russell on what would’ve been his 100th birthday, who played one of the Doctor’s first companions, Ian Chesterton, in the very first Doctor Who adventure, An Unearthly Child, which originally aired on the BBC in 1963. #DoctorWho
Remembering William Russell, who played one of the earliest (and one of my very favourite) of the Doctor's companions, Ian Chesterton, on what would have been his 100th birthday.
It was the best of #DoctorWho, or it was the worst of Doctor Who - but can a story be both things simultaneously? Find out as we discuss The Web Planet:
Doctor Who was only twelve stories old when they decided to mount a production as ambitious as The Web Planet, but was that a mistake or was it a decision justified by the enormous audiences The Web Planet achieved? Our thoughts on Schrödinger's Doct…
I'm so glad we've had so many great Eight Doctor audios, thanks to Big Finish. I haven't yet read any of the Eight Doctor adventures from BBC Books but they're definitely on my list and I have "the Eight Doctors" ready to read in my book player app. I'm one of those people who also feels that Mcgann should now be considered the ninth Doctor; it bugs me that the War Doctor never gets counted. Then again, with what we now know about the Timeless Child, Mcgann could well be the 87th Doctor, for all we know. #DoctorWho
