Latest revision as of 06:55, 15 August 2024
On BBC iPlayer, the Whoniverse is the name under which Doctor Who and related material is made available. The service itself was announced on 31 October 2023[1] and the collection launched on the next day on 1 November, coinciding with the 60th anniversary month of Doctor Who's original broadcast in 1963.
Following the announcement, the BBC unveiled a 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 made its televised debut on 23 November, the anniversary date, as it preceded the broadcast of both The Daleks in Colour [+]Loading...["The Daleks in Colour (TV story)"] and the 2023 re-release of An Adventure in Space and Time [+]Loading...["An Adventure in Space and Time (TV story)"] on BBC Four.
An Unearthly Child [+]Loading...["An Unearthly Child (TV story)"], the very first serial of Doctor Who, is notably absent on the Whoniverse due to an ongoing rights dispute which also resulted in scenes concerning its production being removed from the re-release of An Adventure in Space and Time. By extension, the original 2013 version of An Adventure in Space and Time also does not feature on the Whoniverse.

History of the term[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: Whoniverse
""The word Whoniverse was invented by fans, so it's time to give it official status."
The term "Whoniverse" was used as early as The Second Doctor Who Quiz Book in 1982.
The Whoniverse was published by BBC Books in 2016.
