The Definitive Doctor Who Guide

Last updated on 17 May 2013.

Introduction:

"Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do then I should warn you, you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past; Aliens from the future; the day the Earth died in a ball of flame; It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime."

Welcome to the greatest show in the galaxy!
This is for any people who want to become fans of Doctor Who (also known as Whovians). For people who plan to watch it, I'm only going to say it's a TV show about time travel because I don't want to steer a potential viewer away from watching the show by confusing them. I recommend watching the revival series first, the episodes that are listed here. Once you are a fan of the revival series, then I would advise you to go back and watch the classic series.

In addition, if two or three episodes are separated by a slash, it means that the first episode's plot carries into the next, or in others words the episodes make up a two or three-part story. I have also listed the Doctor's appearances on The Sarah Jane Adventures, a spin-off show starring one of the Doctor's most trusted companions, Sarah Jane Smith.

The mini-episodes have been italicized, for the convenience of those who would like to skip them over. In this case, what constitutes as a mini-episode is a story without the usual title sequence, and with a running time that is less than usual.
