Listen to the Doctor and friends!

The Eighth Doctor Adventures is a range of full-cast audios featuring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Sheridan Smith as his companion Lucie Miller. Unlike most Doctor Who audio lines, it began as a radio drama, and ran concurrently with a part of David Tennant's turn on television.



Stripped for Action!

Where Nobody Knows Your Name — intentionally titled after the Cheers theme song — was an Eighth Doctor comic story set in a bar. More character study than adventure, it stressed the complexities of friendships between long-lived shape-shifters like the Doctor and his former companion, Frobisher.


Doctor Who Wiki/Article of the month

Quote of the minute

Anneke Wills: [ Patrick Troughton, Michael Craze, Frazer Hines and I ] did the last of the historical stories, so it's been a long time — except of course now the new ones and David Tennant and popping back to Madame de Pompadour and so forth. So for me it was lovely to hear they'd written [Resistance] in this last war. I always liked the historicals best, you see.
Lisa Bowerman: . . . I knew this story would probably work because . . . there was an adaptation of a Lance Parkin novel called Just War which was set on Guernsey during the Second World War occupation. And it actually is a very, very powerful era to deal with because it's about the rights and wrongs of war . . . [H]ow people responded to Just War I think will be the same as this, because it's a real tangible, understandable threat, as opposed some sort of a surreal threat of a Cyberman or whatever.
John Sackville: Yes, I think that's what I wasn't saying earlier.
BFX: Resistance

Template:Doctor Who Wiki/Articles that need updating


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.
