From today (November 1), more than 800 episodes of Doctor Who will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
Fans of the BBC series can watch all their favourite episodes in one place – The Whoniverse.
They will also be able to watch the first Whoniverse series, called Tales of the TARDIS, on the streaming platform.
In a tweet shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, the official Doctor Who account welcomed fans to the Whoniverse, saying: “The TARDIS doors are open… #iPlayer welcomes the biggest collection of #DoctorWho, with over 800 episodes of Doctor Who and its vast worlds beyond, available from 1st November”
The tweet is accompanied by a clip showing the introduction of the Whoniverse.
Welcome to the #Whoniverse!

What is the Whoniverse?
The Doctor Who website describes the Whoniverse as “the world where you can find every Doctor, every companion, and terrifyingly, hundreds of monsters that have appeared in Doctor Who.”
The Whoniverse will have a new logo and all Doctor Who content will have a new ident.
The website explains that the Whoniverse will “continuously expand”.
Tales of the TARDIS will be the first exclusive content to be added to the Whoniverse, giving fans a new six-part series to look forward to.
The series will reunite “beloved classic Doctor Who duos, as they board a very special TARDIS on a nostalgic voyage through space and time.”
You can find out more about the new Whoniverse series via the Doctor Who website.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
