'''Earth''' is [[the Doctor]]'s favorite planet, located in the [[Sol system]] in [[Mutter's Spiral]].  Most of the Doctor's [[List of companions | companions]] have been natives of this planet.
 
For most of its history, Earth had one single moon, usually referred to simply as [[the Moon]], a rogue planet which entered the Sol system and was captured in Earth's gravitational field millions of years ago ("[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]").  By the time of the [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]], four other moons had been added to the [[Terran System]]. Whether these additional moons were artificially constructed or natural ones moved into Earth orbit is not known ("[[The Long Game]]").
 
Earth formed billions of years of ago, ''around the same time as the first conflict between the [[Hoothi]] and the Time Lords'' ("[[Love and War]]").  ''About 3 billion years ago, the consciousness of the [[Sou(ou)shi]] settled on Earth and became dormant, reawakening in the year [[1968]] CE'' ("[[Venusian Lullaby]]," "[[Nightshade]]") .  Life developed fairly late in the planet's history, 400 million years ago, the process triggered by the [[anti-matter]] explosion of the last [[Jagaroth]] battle cruiser as it entered warp drive prematurely during take-off from the planet surface ("[[City of Death]]").
 
Various species of saurian dominated the planet until circa 65 million BCE, when a freighter from the [[26th century]] CE time-warped to this period and exploded in the upper atmosphere ("[[Earthshock]]").  A few survived, evolving into the races later known as Silurians and Sea Devils. ''Another saurian race, of unknown name, predated these reptilian races by about 100,000 years'' ("[[All-Consuming Fire]]").  The Reign of the Reptiles came to a final end when the rogue planet which later became the Moon entered Earth's orbit, creating climatic changes which forced the reptile races into underground hibernation.  [[Ape]]s regarded by the reptiles as pests eventually evolved into the species known as human, given a substantial jolt forward when the [[Fendhal]] Core arrived on Earth circa 12 million BCE ("[[Image of the Fendhal]]").

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!

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!

The Incomplete Death's Head was a 12-part comic mini-series which reprinted 18 stories featuring the Marvel Comics character Death's Head. The comic is extremely unique for featuring Doctor Who universe concepts such as the Seventh Doctor and Hob alongside explicit Marvel cameos, with flashbacks including such characters as She-Hulk and the Fantastic Four. This was one of the most explicit examples of the Doctor himself being presented as existing inside the Marvel Universe, aka Earth-616.

Enter the Game Station

Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror was a 1985 platform video game released for the BBC Micro and other gaming computers. The game featured the Sixth Doctor, traveling with a robotic cat companion named Splinx, attempting to stop the Tremas Master from disrupting the universe.
