Welcome 2026

Hello peoples to another year of the Doctor Who Club of Australia as we all muddle through yet more “interesting times” than we can poke with a sonic screwdriver.

As per usual, we’ll be having meetings every couple of months, as well as playing the Game of Rassilon, our yearly trivia night. (Please see Events)

As of this writing, we’ve got 1 last gasp of Disney-funded Doctor Who in the form of the Christmas special waiting for us at the end of the year that will presumably attempt to clean up the startled mess left at the end of the 15th Doctor’s second season. There’s also the UNIT-based spinoff, The War Between The Land And The Sea, that should be hitting small screens outside the UK at some point.

As a result, the focus of our meetings will be more nostalgic. It’s also the perfect time to dust off any fan films you might have laying around or waiting to finish.

Please note that there are important changes coming this year for the club. More about that will be revealed at the February meeting and the next issue of Data Extract.

Until then, Build High For Hapiness

Club Statement on Doctor Who’s move from the ABC

The Doctor Club of Australia would like to thank the ABC for their six-decade commitment to bringing Doctor Who to the people of Australia.
It has been an enduring relationship which has enabled fans across the country and across generations to enjoy this iconic show.
The Club was shocked and saddened to hear that moving forward our beloved show will no longer be screened by the ABC, moving from Free to Air to a paid service.
Despite this we are optimistic for the future – with the resources of new broadcaster Disney Plus behind it, there is likely to be longevity and expansion for the program.
But even as it moves forward we will never forget the legacy of the show with the ABC, which has been so integral in the growth of Dr Who in this country and our enjoyment as fans.
