- Freshers' Drinks with The God Complex
- Freshers' Drinks is a fun, friendly and informal chance to meet the current members of the society and to have a little chat with fellow Who fans, replete with free drinks and
snacks - a fantastic way to kick off the new academic year and to make some new friends. As if that wasn't enough, we're following it up with a mind-bending Matt Smith adventure - the TARDIS lands
in what appears to be a fairly shabby hotel, but the rooms full of psychological horrors, the shifting hallways and the Minotaur stalking the corridors make checking out deadly...

- The Rescue and Ghost Light

dead, and the survivors are being threatened by a ominous alien figure...
- In the second story, we join the Seventh Doctor and Ace, as they visit an ominous house that had a significant impact on Ace's life. With mysterious things in the cellar,

- Midnight and The Lazarus Experiment
- We have a David Tennant double bill this week, with two episodes showing off the range that his episodes could reach. First up is Midnight - with the Doctor having dropped
Donna off at a spa, he decides on a nice holiday, travelling across the surface of an irradiated and lifeless planet in a reinforced bus with a charming collection of humans. However, when the
impossible knocking starts, the drivers are lost and the atmosphere within the bus reaches a fever pitch, humanity could prove to be the Doctor’s greatest threat.
- Secondly, in The Lazarus Experiment, the Doctor and Martha attend an elegant party to celebrate an impossible innovation - Professor Richard Lazarus has managed to turn back
the ravages of age. However, the process goes inevitably wrong, and the Doctor and Martha have to confront the man who would change what it means to be human...

- Boom Town and The Awakening
- First up this week is a visit to Cardiff with the Ninth Doctor, where a familiar face has become mayor and has pushed forward a nuclear programme amid a spate of suspicious deaths.
As the Doctor dines with a monster, he is forced to ask himself a serious question - does he have the right to deliver a death sentence?
- Then we join with the Fifth Doctor, as a sleepy country village holds a Civil War re-enactment that threatens to hurtle out of control. An ancient evil begins to awaken beneath the
Church, and the consequences of the battles threaten to become all too real...

- The Horns of Nimon
- Eighth Week is (just about) Eighties Week! Join us to see the very first episodes broadcast in the Eighties, as the Fourth Doctor battles the Nimon, a monster with a mythical edge. As the Doctor,
