Notes

edit
  1. ^ The First Doctor remained for the first two serials of season 4. The Second Doctor featured for the remainder of the season from the third serial, The Power of the Daleks.
  2. ^ Also known by its subtitle, The Key to Time
  3. ^ Shada was left unfinished due to a strike. The story was later completed and officially released on home media in 2017. The voices of the original actors with new animation was incorporated to bridge the gaps between the recorded live-action segments. It is not included in the episode or story counts as it was not broadcast.
  4. ^ The Fifth Doctor regenerated in the sixth serial of season 21. The Sixth Doctor featured only in the final serial, The Twin Dilemma.
  5. ^ A change in transmission format for this season only as episodes were 45 minutes instead of the usual 24 minutes. Thus a traditional 4-part story was transmitted in 2 parts.
  6. ^ Also known by its subtitle, The Trial of a Time Lord
  7. ^ Also known by its subtitle, Flux
  8. ^ These specials consist of the 2008 Christmas, 2009 Easter, 2009 November and the 2009–10 Christmas/New Year's Day episodes.
  9. ^ These specials consist of the 50th Anniversary and 2013 Christmas episodes.
  10. ^ This episode was the first episode of the twelfth series (and is only counted in the § Regular seasons table of this article), and thus not a special aired outside of a series, but it was aired four days before the twelfth series' traditional timeslot in order to air deliberately on New Year's Day.
  11. ^ These specials consist of the 2022 New Year's Day, 2022 Easter, and 2022 BBC Centenary episodes.[3][4]
  12. ^ These specials consist of the three 60th Anniversary episodes with the Fourteenth Doctor and 2023 Christmas episode with the Fifteenth Doctor.

Episodes

edit

Thirteenth Doctor

edit

The Thirteenth Doctor was portrayed by Jodie Whittaker.[8] Chris Chibnall took over as showrunner from the eleventh series.

Series 11 (2018)

edit

For series 11, the episode count was reduced from twelve to ten with each episode's runtime increasing by ten minutes. The Thirteenth Doctor initially searched for her lost TARDIS, inadvertently bringing her companions with her on her travels, who contemplated returning to their lives but decided to continue travelling. The series also dealt with grief, and saw the time slot change to Sunday.
