Michaelmas Term 2017

1st Week	Thursday 12th October, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	Freshers Drinks with The Fires of Pompeii It’s the first meeting of a new year, and that means Freshers Drinks! Come along to meet your fellow Whovians, and watch an episode that was strangely good at guessing future actors for the show, especially concerning a soon-to-be-gone Doctor. The Doctor takes new companion Donna to a major event of the past - the eruption of Vesuvius. Can Donna convince him to spare anyone from the tragedy?
2nd Week	Thursday 19th October, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	The Caves of Androzani For our second week, we dive back into Classic Who, with the most beloved story of the 1980s. The Fifth Doctor and Peri land on Androzani Minor, among a group of disgruntled miners. But, somewhere in the mines, in amongst the poisonous Spectrox, lies a villain determined to wrestle control of "the most powerful substance in the world" from a corrupt government. Can Five save his new companion from the clutches of Sharaz Jek?
3rd Week	Thursday 26th October, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	The Three Doctors What better episode for third week than The Three Doctors? When Gallifrey is affected by a mysterious power drain, the Time Lords call upon the Doctor to help- but not just one, all three! It features the holy trinity of UNIT-era Who - bickering, bad science, and the Brigadier. It’s a great watch, especially as we change to the 13th Doctor, to see how the character can change, no matter who plays the role.
3rd Week	Saturday 28th October, 6pm Worcester College JCR	Jodie Whittaker Marathon To celebrate the newest Doctor, we watch a selection of the best of her filmography! From Broadchurch to Black Mirror, we see just what Jodie Whittaker can bring to a role as we prepare for her spectacular debut at Christmas. Feel free to bring snacks and drop in at any time!
4th Week	Thursday 2nd November, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances The first official Who episode by leaving showrunner Steven Moffat, he debuts fantastically with this Blitz-set piece, introducing future spin-off star Captain Jack Harkness! The Ninth Doctor and Rose follow a crashing time ship to World War II England, where a strange child is haunting the destroyed streets. Can the group save the day, or will they be left asking "Are you my mummy?"
5th Week	Thursday 9th November, 8pm Nazrin Shah Auditorium, Worcester College	The Geek Quiz In the legendary Geek Quiz, members of Oxford's geekiest societies get together in order 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. Cosplay is always welcome!
6th Week	Thursday 16th November, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	Amy's Choice and The God Complex This week, we celebrate Matt Smith’s era, with two top episodes from his time. In Amy’s Choice, the Doctor, Amy and Rory are trapped between worlds by the Dream Lord, each with its own threat. But is either world safe? In The God Complex, the group is also trapped somewhere - this time, a hotel, where each room hides someone’s darkest fear, and a minotaur preying on the guests.
7th Week	Thursday 23rd November, 6pm Corpus Christi Auditorium	An Unearthly Child and Society Meal This week, Whosoc traditionally journeys out for food in one of Oxford’s many eateries. Join us to watch the first ever episode on its 54th anniversary and see how it compares to the first pilot for the show, before going out for a well-prepared meal!
7th Week	Saturday 25th November, 12pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	Cybermen: The Early Years Fresh from their latest/earliest appearance (isn’t continuity fun?) at the end of Series 10, we celebrate the early history of the Cybermen, from their debut at the South Pole to their assault on London and their attack on the moon. Feel free to drop in at any time and bring snacks!
8th Week	Thursday 30th November, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	The Horns of Nimon (and Committee Meeting) 8th Week is 80s Week! This week features the second appearance of Minotaurs and a labyrinth, but this one is distinctly more... camp. When the Doctor and Romana face off against the wonderfully-acted Soldeed, they must race to save the planet from the evil Nimon! Enjoy the campness and hilarity and don’t forget your jelly babies! Join us afterwards for the committee meeting to have your say in what we do next term.
