- Freshers' Drinks is a chance to meet the other members of WhoSoc (we don't bite, honest!) plus free drinks
and snacks - what more could you possibly ask for? We'll also kick off the termcard with Asylum of the Daleks. Kidnapped
by his oldest foe, the Eleventh Doctor is forced on an impossible mission - to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to
enter...

- Vengeance on Varos and The Long Game
- This week is themed around "Doctor Who and the media", beginning with Vengeance
on Varos. Seeking to repair his TARDIS, the Sixth Doctor arrives on Varos, a world where political
prisoners are subjected to sadistic tortures viewed by inhabitants on interactive television, and the Doctor
and Peri become the latest unwilling participants...
- Then, in The Long Game, the Ninth Doctor arrives in the year 200,000 to see The Fourth Great and
Bountiful Human Empire, but not all is well - those who are promoted to Floor 500 disappear, humanity is
possibly being manipulated by news, and who exactly is the sinister Editor's employer?
