Oxygen was the fifth episode of the tenth series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales.

The episode is most notable for showing the risks the Doctor places himself in to save his friends, in this case saving Bill robs him of his sight, and even though it seemed temporary and was seemingly fixed it's revealed that this isn't the case, as such the Doctor has become permanently blind.

Synopsis

Story notes

File:Jamie Mathieson, Mimi Ndiweni & Kieran Bew - The Aftershow - Doctor Who The Fan Show

  • On The Fan Show, Jamie Mathieson jokes that the Twelfth Doctor's hair is "chalky blonde", rather than grey.
  • On The Fan Show, Jamie Mathieson worried that this episode would turn out "too political".
  • On The Fan Show, Jamie Mathieson said that an ongoing joke on set was calling Peter Caulfield "Blue Peter", due to his character being blue. This was a reference to Blue Peter.
  • Two references to Star Trek are made:
    • The Doctor makes a speech about space being "the final frontier". A similar speech is made in Star Trek.
    • Nardole mentions the "Swish Swish" sound the doors always makes. The Doctor says he hates that noise.
  • The blackboard from TV: The Pilot that was also used in Class reappears.
