<B>The Rani </B>
 
[[Image:Omarak06.jpg|right|225px]]
'''The Rani''' is a renegade [[Time Lord|Time Lady]], an evil scientific genius whose villainy comes not from the usual variety of lust for power and suchlike, but from a mindset that treats everything (including morality) as secondary to her research; she has been known to enslave entire [[planet]]s in order to have a ready supply of experimental subjects and a place to carry out her experiments uninterrupted. Her major interest is in tinkering with other species' biochemistry - she was exiled from [[Gallifrey]] after some of her lab [[mouse|mice]], as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the [[Lord President|President]]'s pet [[cat]]. A past relationship between the Rani and [[the Doctor]] is hinted at, but never elaborated upon. It has been established that they are the same age.
 
While the Rani certainly does not share the Doctor's fondness for [[Earth]], referring to it as a "miserable planet," it has been the focus of several of her research projects.  When the test subjects on one of the planets she had enslaved became violently restless and uncontrollable, - a side affect of her experiments on them, - the Rani visited Earth at various points in its history to extract chemicals from the brains of select [[human]]s. Because the chemicals in question enabled the human brain to rest, and because the absence of these chemicals made her victims as violent and uncontrollable as those from her previous experiments, the Rani purposely chose periods of social unrest to visit, using the violence to conceal her presence and its consequences.

Welcome to the Tardis! We've regenerated.
This is the main wiki for the beloved BBC action-adventure and science-fantasy franchise Doctor Who... alongside spin-offs like Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Class, and so many others.

We've now gone independent! See announcement for details.
114,104 articles • 3,738,984 edits
Your cosmic joyride awaits
Following the 60th anniversary specials and The Church on Ruby Road, the TARDIS is now home to Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday, still under the watchful eyes of Russell T Davies's Bad Wolf crew. Click below to find out more!
New to Who?

Intimidated by the long history of Doctor Who? No need. You'll be able to jump right in with the next season, come springtime, and enjoy it as a brand new show! These four concepts are probably all you'll actually need.


If you want to know more, check out our guides on Doctor Who!
Explore the Whoniverse!
Doctor Who isn't the only series set in the Whoniverse to air on TV. Check out some others!

Doctor Who is a "family franchise", which means there's something in it for all ages.
It does not mean that all content is appropriate for all ages.

There's more than just TV

You can certainly choose to enjoy Doctor Who as purely a television series. But did you know that there are far more stories told in the comic and audio form than exist in the whole television catalogue? Luckily, there's no such thing as canon in this fandom. So you can enjoy exactly the kind of Doctor Who you prefer. And we'll be here to cover it all!

Take a trip in the memory TARDIS!
Tales of the TARDIS logo 2.jpg

Tales of the TARDIS is the first new spin-off to join the Whoniverse on BBC iPlayer. Each episode comprises a classic Doctor Who story edited into one omnibus-style episode, bookended by new scenes featuring members of the original cast in "a remembered TARDIS". It's a great place to start dipping your toes into Doctor Who's older stories, or to revisit old favourites!

Running from the Black Guardian?

Try out a random article from the Tardis Wiki! Like the Fourth Doctor's randomiser, this will take you anywhere in time and space... mostly Earth in the 20th or 21st centuries. Who knows what you'll find?

Listen to the Doctor and friends!
The Secret History cover.jpg

Big Finish's main range of Doctor Who audio stories features the adventures of mainly the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors, complete with large casts, sound effects and scores. Though some original-to-audio companions are occasionally used, the line typically features the original lead actors seen on television.

Stripped for Action!
Angels and tank.jpg

The Weeping Angels of Mons was a story from Titan's Tenth Doctor range that finds the Tenth Doctor and his companion Gabby Gonzalez facing off against Weeping Angels during World War I. It was released during the centenary of the "war to end all wars".

Enter the Game Station
DW Computer Game First 1.jpg

The First Adventure was a video game released in late 1983 for the BBC Micro. The title was, fittingly, the first officially licensed Doctor Who video game. Months earlier, an unlicensed game titled Doctor Who Adventure had appeared in Computer & Video Games, a gaming zine. The First Adventure featured the Doctor traveling through several areas to save his companion, with most levels being based on other popular games of the time.
