Doctor Who: The Fan Show is a YouTube series on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel. It is currently hosted by Christel Dee and Luke Spillane. Every week, they talk about Doctor Who and its many spin-offs with a special guest, which is usually a fan. Sometimes, they interview a member of the cast or crew.

It has been going on YouTube since 8 May 2015.

Ratings

In a poll, the series was voted the worst thing the BBC have invested in for Doctor Who, narrowly beating Totally Doctor Who.[source needed] Despite this, the show receives a high view count.
