Take a break from studying and join us for episode screenings, snacks, and timey-wimey shenanigans as we head into the final term of the academic year.
| 1st Week |
Thursday 27th April, 7:30pm
Park 5, Somerville
|
- Genesis of the Daleks (1975)
- What better a start to the term than a good old-fashioned moral dilemma? Conscripted by the Time Lords into putting an end to the Daleks once and for all, the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, and Harry Sullivan take a trip back to early Skaro, get caught up in some light nuclear war, and witness the origins of the Doctor’s oldest nemesis...

| 2nd Week |
Thursday 4th May, 7:30pm
Garden Quad Auditorium, St. John’s
|
- The Enemy of the World (1967-68)
- The Second Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria head to the distant year of 2018 and have a nice time at the beach- psyche! Fresh from a storage room in Nigeria, this serial sees the Second Doctor facing off against the titular enemy of the world, a megalomaniacal Patrick Troughton. Really. Twice the Troughton in the same length of time - a bargain, frankly.

| 3rd Week |
Thursday 11th May, 7:30pm
Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- Dark Water/Death in Heaven (2014)
- In this iconic two-part finale, the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald go where they’ve always been headed - straight to Hell. Meanwhile, Danny Pink faces his past, a strange woman keeps a watchful eye on the dead, and Britain’s cemeteries anticipate a major surge in activity.

Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- Torchwood: Children of Earth (2009)
- We settle down for a marathon of Torchwood’s acclaimed five-part serial, Children of Earth. Forty years ago, the British government made an unconscionable sacrifice - now, it falls to the Torchwood team to stop them from repeating it. There will be blood; there will be heartbreak; there will be ethical ambiguity; above all, there will be snacks and an excuse to avoid doing revision. Be there or be square.

| 4th Week |
Thursday 18th May, 7:30pm
Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- The Green Death (1973)
- The Third Doctor and Jo Grant head to the mines to follow up on a few suspiciously viridescent corpses. Jo might meet the love of her life, the Doctor might rally against a chemical supercorporation, and you might encounter a few large bugs, but you’ll never know for sure if you don’t come along and watch it with us.
|
| 5th Week |
Thursday 25th May, 7:30pm
Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- The Curse of Fenric (1989)
- The penultimate story of Classic Who, in which the Seventh Doctor and Ace find themselves entangled in a harrowing tale of wolves (non-literal), WWII-era military manoeuvres, symbolic chess-mastery, ancient evils, and cursed Viking artefacts. Will the dynamic duo emerge unscathed, or will their friendship shatter beyond repair?
|
| 6th Week |
Thursday 1st June, 7:30pm
Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- The Time Meddler (1965)
- This serial sees the First Doctor, Vicki, and Steven fighting to preserve the flow of history by meddling with the nefarious schemes of the (Meddling) Monk, our second-ever Time Lord, who plans to meddle with the events of 1066 in order to avert the Norman Conquest. There’s a suitable amount of meddling involved. There is also at least one woman named Edith, which (in case you were concerned) makes it absolutely period-accurate.

| 7th Week |
Thursday 8th June, 7:30pm
Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- Termly Meal + Love and Monsters (2006) + Committee meeting
- Widely acknowledged as one of Who’s seminal masterpieces, Love and Monsters is a touching tale about a group of nerds who meet up once a week to talk about the Doctor. Join us for the termly meal beforehand and have your say on which episodes we should inflict on next term’s unsuspecting freshers afterwards.

| 8th Week |
Thursday 15th June, 7:30pm
Miles Room, St Peter's
|
- The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang (2010)
- We mark the final event of the year by (quite literally) going out with a bang! Summoned to Roman Britain by the enigmatic River Song, this two-parter finds the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond caught up in a web of odd coincidences and familiar faces (both friend and foe) where they shouldn’t be, all framed by a particularly troubling work of art...
