- The Sea Devils
- The Third Doctor and Jo visit the Master on an isolated English Channel Island - where instead of a TARDIS, they find an old race ready to re-emerge as Earth’s rulers. It’s all very fishy, quite literally - it’s the Master and a race of reptiles in hibernation under the sea.

- The Geek Quiz!
- It’s Geek Quiz time! Battle it out with the geekiest societies Oxford has to offer for "team who won that term" (an honorific that no one can ever quite remember!). Nevertheless, do come along - we are often divided into a few teams, ready to take on Pokeballs, TrekSoc-ers and Oxford’s mini version of Hogwarts! If you can write a round that is related to the geek societies at large (not entirely Doctor-Who related), do bring it along!

- The Pilot, Praxeus & LGBTQ+ documentary
- Marking Pride Month, we’ll be taking a dive into queer stories! Beginning with The Pilot, the first episode of season 10 introduces Bill Potts, the first openly gay full-time companion. Alongside the Twelfth Doctor and Nardole, Bill discovers that a potential girlfriend may have her trapped with no way to escape. Praxeus follows the Thirteenth Doctor, Yaz, Graham and Ryan investigating a series of strange events: aggressive birds, a bacterium transforming skin into grey scales, and an ex-police officer and his astronaut husband. Finally, we will be watching an LGBTQ+ documentary on the official YouTube channel as part of the Fan Show, looking at queer rep in the world of Doctor Who!
