- The Waters of Mars
- We begin the term with the Doctor Who Society’s first Episode Discussion week. First, join us as we watch David Tennant's Tenth Doctor on one of his final adventures. As the
Doctor is faced by a famous mission, a base under siege and a race against time, we learn precisely what happens when the Time Lord goes too far... After the episode, we will be trialling a new
format of meeting, as we talk through the episode and its themes, as well as related topics. It’s a perfect opportunity to really dig into the substance of the episode in a group setting.

- The Dalek Invasion of Earth
- This week, we watch one of Doctor Who’s most iconic serials, as the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan land in a recognisable, yet oddly deserted London in the 22nd Century.
However, it quickly becomes apparent that the travellers, along with the rest of humanity, are in grave danger; the Daleks are back, and this time their sights are set on Earth...

- Hide and Listen
- This week, we have a spooky double bill, featuring both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's Doctors. First, we join the Eleventh Doctor and Clara as they arrive at Caliburn House, a
legendarily haunted manor. With a twisted figure stalking the halls, a gifted psychic sensing doom and a strange apparition manifesting itself in the House, it soon becomes clear that this is no simple haunting.
Then we join the Twelfth Doctor and Clara as the Doctor attempts to face his fears, and Clara attempts to face an increasingly disastrous date. As the Doctor looks for answers at the end of the universe, it might
be that they lie right at the beginning...

- Remembrance of the Daleks
- This week, we’re with the Seventh Doctor and Ace as they go right back to the show's beginning. The year is 1963, and Coal Hill School is once again home to strange alien activity. This time,
however, the stakes have never been higher - two warring factions of Daleks have descended upon London in search of an ancient and deadly Time Lord weapon, and the Doctor must use all of his wits and cunning to
ensure that the Hand of Omega doesn’t fall into the wrong hands...
- We'll be following up the episode with a Book Club-style discussion; we will circulate a passage from the novelisation of the book and discuss the role of the novelisations of the series and their
place in the history of Doctor Who
