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 on the 60th anniversary date, 23 November 2023, when it preceded the broadcast of The Daleks in Colour [+]Loading...["The Daleks in Colour (TV story)"] on BBC Four. It also preceded the re-release of An Adventure in Space and Time [+]Loading...["An Adventure in Space and Time (TV story)"] which aired immediately after.
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, a pattern which was repeated on 9 December for The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"] and Unleashed.
The ident is not included on international streaming via Disney+.
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 released 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 Studio's Executive Creative Director Nick Meikle and his team and Murray Gold for the music.
