If you're completely new to the show, and you really want a recap of the entire plot of the modern series up until the latest episodes, this is the place for you! It's probably not the optimal route to experience the franchise, as it's greatly simplifying a ton of context, and at times outright slightly misrepresenting what happens in a story because the actual plot is a little too complicated to explain in a few sentences. But if you don't have the time or inclination to watch the entire show, or would prefer to get your background knowledge through text, this can be a substitute. We also have a list of the plot relevant episodes for each season, so you can sort of speedrun your way through the new series if you would like. Or you can mix and match, watch some seasons if you vibe with them, and read about others if you don't. It's all up to you. Whatever you decide, we're really happy you're thinking about watching Doctor Who and joining the community. | If you're completely new to the show, and you really want a recap of the entire plot of the modern series up until the latest episodes, this is the place for you!

But as the pair reappear in modern day London they find that things have gone wrong, everyone believes that they're always right, all the time, and everyone else is unreasonable. In invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe, the Doctor has called to [[the Toymaker]], who has decided to play a game with the human race. The Doctor insists that he must stop, and challenges him to a game, but loses. Recalling their previous encounter though, the Doctor points out that they're now tied, and that best-of-three should win. The Toymaker accepts, but as he played one game with a prior Doctor, one game with this Doctor, he'll play the next game with a new Doctor as well, and forces a regeneration. Or, rather, [[bi-generation]], a myth of the timelords, where the body splits in two, one staying the same, and one being the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], played by [[Ncuti Gatwa]]. The pair together defeat the toymaker, and the Fourteenth Doctor decides to spend time with the Noble family, to get some well needed rest, while the Fifteenth Doctor continues on his adventures. | But as the pair reappear in modern day London they find that things have gone wrong, everyone believes that they're always right, all the time, and everyone else is unreasonable.
