Reader Guides → Episodes for those who left with Tennant

Did you leave during The End of Time and you want to get caught up on the show? You don't just want a plot summary - reading isn't the same is watching, but, gosh, it's a lot of TV to watch to get caught up.

Look no further. This is a recommended viewing guide to catch up with the plot of the show since you left. You might miss some small things, but the big plot points are all gonna be hit by this guide. Also listed parenthetically are episodes that would add helpful context or that people generally regard as notable, in case you want to watch those as well. Recently, the show has undergone another soft reset, similar to Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005) with Rose, resetting the episode count as well, leading to the newest era starting with "Season 1".
