- Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways
- We start the year with an ending. The finale of the first revival series, Bad Wolf sees the Doctor, Rose and Jack trapped in the most terrifying thing 2005 had to offer – TV Game Shows! When it turns out the distant future population of Earth is being dulled and controlled by mysterious masters, the Doctor is determined to uncover them and ruin their plans. But when his foes turn out to be some unexpected old friends, the results may change his companions lives, and his own, forever.

- Shada
- A story of near legendary status, mostly because it was never finished due to industrial strikes. Now, thanks to animation, we can watch the full story of the Fourth Doctor and Romana's adventure to "The Other Place" as they attempt to solve the mystery of a book, the Time Lords, and an old Professor.

- Day of the Daleks
- Once again, 3rd week is led by the Third Doctor and Jo Grant, who face a surprise attack from rebels, looking to save the future from potential Dalek invasion. With an unprecedented amount of time travel factoring into the plot, and the return of a certain group of villains from their "final end", this is a fan favourite always worth seeing.

- One of the few stories in the 60s to be explicitly set in the 60s, The War Machines is the debut of future companions Ben and Polly (recently glimpsed in the Christmas Special), and has the First Doctor (or Doctor Who, as he's infamously called) fight against a malevolent AI and its evil machines of war.

- This is a week of two halves. First, we watch the first Christmas special starring Peter Capaldi, as the Doctor, Clara, and Santa fight to escape a battle that may just be in their heads. After, join us for husts, where we elect the committee of the following year! It's always important to have people to run the society, so please stick around, whether to run or to ask questions!

- Midnight and Society Meal
- With 7th week, we (again) have a week of two halves. Cited as one of the more horror-themed episodes of his era, Midnight sees the Tenth Doctor and a group of innocents trapped on a shuttle, menaced by something unknown. Afterwards to recover from the scares, join us for a trip out to one of Oxford's many restaurants.

Having to contend with both the excellent cybernetic fiends and a time travelling witch known as Lady Peinforte, can the Doctor and Ace save the day and themselves? Feel free to bring jelly babies and stick around for our committee meeting afterwards!
