- You may be looking for the account as it exists in the DWU.
The Doctor Who Twitter account, occupying the namespace of "bbcdoctorwho", was the official Twitter account used by the BBC for Doctor Who-related content.[1]
History
2011
In January 2011, the Doctor Who Twitter account was created.[1]
2021
Doctor Who: Flux marketing campaign
The Doctor Who Twitter account was involved with the promotion of Doctor Who: Flux, which was designed so that the audience were involved with the narrative of the arrival of the Flux:
On 2 October,[2] 3 October,[3] 4 October,[4] 5 October,[5] 6 October,[6] 7 October,[7] and on 8 October, the account posted "interruptions" - short bursts of distorted footage of the Thirteenth Doctor sending a message.[8] Within the same day, the account posted what appeared to be a transcript of the Doctor saying "can you hear me?"[9] Very quickly after, all of the Doctor Who social media accounts shut down (barring Tumblr, though that account had been inactive since January).[10] In the evening of 9 October, all of the social media accounts returned, posting promo images of the new series as well as giving new details about it.[11] Among the content was the upload of the story The Flux is Coming..., a minisode that had premiered on television earlier that very same day,[12] evidently showing that the "interruptions" where part of the full minisode, in which the Doctor sent out a distress call warning of the arrival of the Flux, indirectly to the viewers.[13]
2022
On 21 May, 2022, the account posted a graph detailing "Everything you can expect from watching 'Legend of the Sea Devils', now in a handy line graph! 📈"[14]
On 25 May, the account posted an announcement of the Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star special, with a video trailer of the special, captioned "This is the @MayaJama x Doctor Who crossover you 100% needed! Get ready for a #DoctorWho themed episode of @GlowUpBBC, tonight on BBC Three."[15]
On 27 May, the account posted about Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder, with 4 images[16][17][18][19] captioned "The Worlds of Wonder exhibition is now open at the @World_Museum in Liverpool! Explore the history of the show and find out how science meets fiction in this exciting new exhibit🪐"[20]
Later that day, the account reposted fanart of the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan by Kelly Rosen, captioned "Summer vibes with the Doctor and Yaz for #FanArtFriday🌼", and with credit to the original artist.[22]
