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,[2] 3,[3] 4,[4] 5,[5] 6,[6] 7,[7] and 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 same year).[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 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 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."[14]

On 27 May, the account posted about Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder, with 4 images[15][16][17][18] 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🪐"[19]
