- Out of Time & Captain Jack Harkness (Torchwood)
- Captain Jack’s back (again)! We go back to 2006 and 2007 for some classic Torchwood episodes. A plane from 1953 somehow arrives in modern Cardiff, with three displaced passengers who are literally out of time. How will Torchwood take care of this one? And next, we enter the penultimate episode of Series One and see Jack and Tosh sent back to 1941. Stranded in time as the team fractures in the present, what will Jack discover about himself back in the past?

- GEEK QUIZ!!
- In the legendary (virtual) Geek Quiz, members of Oxford’s geekiest societies get together to battle it out for the crown of “team who won that term”. If you can write a round not entirely related to Doctor Who, bring it along. Please ensure your round is visual – make a PowerPoint with each question displayed on a different slide. Our society usually divides up into a few different teams – come along and help us beat those pesky TrekSoc-ers!

- Midnight & Elections
- The Tenth Doctor journeys alone to see the Sapphire Waterfall on the planet Midnight – but it can never be that simple. Trapped in a shuttle bus with a group of suspicious passengers, the Doctor faces the fight of his life as a mysterious entity infiltrates the bus and turns the group against him. Strap yourself in. Then, join us as we elect a new committee (who will no doubt make some more sensible decisions than the characters in Midnight make) to preside over WhoSoc!

- Battlefield (and Committee Meeting)
- For Eighth Week, we go back to the 1980s with a great Seventh Doctor and Ace episode from the last season of Classic Who. Warriors from another dimension have taken their fight to Earth, bringing with them the deep lore of King Arthur and Merlin (whose identity is closer to home for we Who fans). But time is ticking – and with nuclear missiles and an ancient sword in play, will the battlefield fall to the Destroyer, Lord of Darkness and Eater of Worlds?
Plus, join us for a virtual Committee meeting where we’ll be discussing what to watch next term!
