0th Week	Saturday 22nd April, 7pm Worecester JCR	Smile In the first of our weekly society Series 10 meet-ups, we see Frank Cotrell-Boyce’s second script, after the mixed reception of In the Forest of the Night. Hopefully, this one will be more widely loved! Featuring a human colony (without the humans) filmed in Valencia, it looks to be good.
1st Week	Thursday 27th April, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	Human Nature/The Family of Blood Welcome back for another term of Whosoc, starting with this Tenth Doctor double-parter! When chased by a family searching for immortality, the Doctor hides himself as a human in an Edwardian public school, but forgets to account for a certain thing humans tend to do.
1st Week	Saturday 29th April, 7pm Worecester JCR	Thin Ice With the return of Sarah Dollard, writer of Face the Raven, we wait to see if her second script can match the emotion and visuals of her last, featuring a trip to the last great frost fair on the Thames, where something is stirring beneath Regency London.
2nd Week	Thursday 4th May, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	Episode One Week At the suggestion of our new Lord Chancellor, this week we’ll be watching the first episodes from serials that start on a good note, voted for by the members. The current selection includes The Space Museum, Dragonfire, Time Flight, and Underworld.
2nd Week	Saturday 6th May, 7:20pm Worecester JCR	Knock Khock Who's there? Doctor Doctor Who? Exactly!

As Bill finds a new flat to live in, with cheap rent and a creepy landlord, the Doctor suspects something might be up.

3rd Week	Saturday 13th May, 7:15pm Worecester JCR	Oxygen With fan-favourite writer Jamie Mathieson providing his only episode of Series 10, featuring a crew under attack by zombies, we are all hopeful this episode won't leave us short of breath (pun intended).
4th Week	Thursday 18th May, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	The Ribos Operation For fourth week, we’re watching the first Romana story, in which the Fourth Doctor and K9 are recruited by the White Guardian to find the first piece of the Key to Time, hidden on a planet of ice, but they’re not the only ones after it. It contains one of my personal favourite scenes, so is definitely worth watching!
4th Week	Saturday 20th May, 7:25pm Worecester JCR	Extremis Featuring a secret vault beneath the Vatican, this episode looks to be a good show, and may bring speculation on a certain vault mentioned in a previous episode. it also features the return of Michelle Gomez as the Master/Missy
5th Week	Thursday 25th May, 7pm 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.
5th Week	Saturday 27th May, 7:30pm Worecester JCR	The Pyramid at the End of the World Back for his third episode, Peter Harness brings the second episode named after a pyramid, as well as having the longest title of an individual story. After his divisive Kill the Moon and his more well-received The Zygon Invasion/Inversion, we wait to see how this one will be taken.
6th Week	Thursday 1st June, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	Non-Who Week Following on from last term's watch of Blake’s 7, we’re showing an assortment of other TV shows featuring the cast and crew of Doctor Who.

8th Week	Thursday 15th June, 8pm Seminar Room, Corpus Christi	The Greatest Show In The Galaxy (and Committee Meeting) 8th Week is 80s Week!

Join us afterwards for the committee meeting to have your say in what we do next term.
8th Week	Saturday 17th June, TBC Location TBC (Dependent on availability)	The Eaters of Light For anyone still around, the series continues, Rona Munro, writer of the final Classic Who episode Survival, returns as the first person from pre-2005 to pen a New Who episode. With eight weeks to go until airing, details are scarce, but it looks to be interesting seeing how an old writer comes back to treat the new.
