The Whoniverse (disambiguation)for other, similarly-named pages.
Following the announcement of the Whoniverse on 30 October 2023,[1] the BBC unveiled the Whoniverse ident on social media platforms. This ident plays for all newly-created Doctor Who related programming on BBC iPlayer, starting with Tales of the TARDIS.[2]
The ident featured characters and monsters from both classic and revival-era Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Class.
The ident made its televised debut in the 60th anniversary month, starting on 1 November 2023, when it preceded the broadcast of Talking Doctor Who on BBC Four. It also preceded the airing of Doctor Who @ 60: A Musical Celebration which aired immediately after. On 23 November, it preceeded both The Daleks in Colour [+]Loading...["The Daleks in Colour (TV story)"] and the re-release of An Adventure in Space and Time [+]Loading...["An Adventure in Space and Time (TV story)"] on BBC Four.
The ident made its debut on BBC One preceding the premiere of The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"] on 25 November. A condensed version of the ident later appeared on BBC Three for the associated episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed. The next week, on 2 December, the condensed ident preceeded both Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"] and its episode of Unleashed, which became the norm for the following specials and season 1. The condensed ident also preceeded both The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"] and Empire of Death [+]Loading...["Empire of Death (TV story)"] for the two-part finale's double-bill release at cinemas, separated by a 15 minute interval.
The ident is not included on international streaming via Disney+.
On 20 June 2024, the full ident precedeed the broadcast of Tales of the TARDIS: Pyramids of Mars [+]Loading...["Pyramids of Mars (TotT TV story)"] and the repeat of Talking Doctor Who which followed it.
Notes
- In the instalment of Gallifrey Guardian printed in DWM 597, Russell T Davies revealed that the inclusion of the various Doctors, companions, and monsters was much-deliberated over the span of months: Davies stated that he was sad that K9 didn't make the cut; that originally all the Doctors were included before it was decided that that was an "unholy mess"; that Jon Pertwee was the final Doctor added after they realised they had too much empty space; and that Missy was the final addition — a suggestion from Brand Director Vanessa Hamilton — being placed in the inner circle of the "O", as the rest of the "O" was intended for monsters.
- Davies also revealed that plans existed for the animation to be revamped every year or so, so other characters could be added.
- Davies also thanked BBC Studios' Executive Creative Director Nick Meikle and his team and Murray Gold for the music.
