Stripped for Action!

Treasure Trail was a 1976 Fourth Doctor/Sarah Jane TV Comic story that was a pure historical set in the waning days of World War II. Although many other Doctor Who stories were set during the Second World War, Treasure Trail was unusual for portraying the Italian resistance, and was almost certainly the only Doctor Who story in any medium to depict the Nazi plunder of European art.

Popular categories

If you're new to wikis, it might be helpful for you to take note of the concept of categories. Categories are the principal organizing tool on a wiki, allowing users to group information in ways that can ease the discovery of information. All the pages on our wiki are found, ultimately, in just four big "super categories". If this is your first visit here, please go to Floor 500 for a discussion of the way our wiki is organized.

Real world
On our wiki, the world we actually live in is called the "real world" . As such, information about the production of Doctor Who and her sister shows are in this category. This includes pages about the actual televised episodes themselves, the behind-the-scenes personnel, terminology used by the production teams, and merchandise related to the shows.
Time-Space Visualiser
The Time-Space Visualiser is the place where most of this wiki's pages reside. All the articles are written from an in-universe perspective, quite different to what you might be used to on Wikipedia. Here you'll find information related to The Doctor, his companions, Other individuals, astronomical objects, time travel, species, locations, science, culture, and a whole host of other subjects.
Non-DWU material
Notwithstanding writer Paul Cornell's famous comments that denounced the concept of "canon" in Doctor Who, our canon policy does deem a few things to be outside the Doctor Who universe. For examples, visit: stories, characters, technology, species, and locations.
The Hub
This category contains articles having to do with the actual running of the wiki. It's full of all those little pages that help the wiki work. As such, it isn't accessed often by most users. However, more advanced editors might wish to peruse the templates category for ways to make their editing easier. Or if you're looking for a place to start editing on the wiki, you might want to look at articles that need updating, major expansion, general copy-editing, sectional cleanup, and re-writing from an in-universe perspective.


Doctor Who Wiki/Article of the month

Quote of the minute

Time Lord: Let us consider the issue of the Chaplet girl and her relatives.
First Doctor: I hardly knew her.
Time Lord: Yet you sent her and her family to Picardy. Why?
First Doctor: It was too dangerous for them to return to their home.
Time Lord: Did they reach their destination?
First Doctor: I haven't the foggiest notion.
Another Time Lord: Yet, in another time on the planet Earth you welcomed aboard the TARDIS a young woman of French origin named Dodo Chaplet . . . Doesn't that strike you as odd?
First Doctor: No. Why should it? Chaplet is to Dubois in France as Smith is to Jones in England. All good common family names. I see no necessary connection.

  • ... that Ashley Way, one of the most prolific Torchwood directors, enjoyed a particularly long professional relationship with Eve Myles, having directed her in not just Torchwood, but also Belonging, her other major work for BBC Wales?
