WIkiProject Doctor Who: December 2025 Newsletter

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume III, Issue III — December 2025
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

Help! We've been robbed... of a new Doctor Who Christmas special this year :(
2025... I Let You Go
*vworp vworp, vworp vworp*
The Space-Time Telepgraph is back again with our final issue of the year. With 13-episodes of Who-related content broadcast in 2025, it marked the biggest year in the Whoniverse since 2017! Take a quick read below for all the Wikipedia-related (and non-Wikipedia-related) Doctor Who news that you missed, and everything you have to look forward to. Happy New Year! 🥳🎉

Would you like a jelly baby Good or Featured article?

It's been several months since the last newsletter, and a number of new GAs have been added to the quality content list. In total we have promoted nearly 50 Good Articles this year, on top of one Featured Article, making this the year with the largest amount of promoted Doctor Who-related content in Wikipedia history (Beating our previous record of 2012's 36 by a significant margin).
Congratulations to all of our editors who have contributed to quality content this year, and we hope to see the number of quality articles under our project grow as time goes on.

Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network

  • A five-part miniseries and spin-off of Doctor Who, The War Between the Land and the Sea concluded airing this month on BBC One. The series will release on Disney+ next year. The conclusion of that series on Disney+ will officially mark the end of the co-production deal between the Beeb and the Mouse House that was first announced in 2022. While Doctor Who has been confirmed to continue with a 2026 Christmas Special written by Russell T Davies, its status in international markets has yet to be announced. CBeebies has also found an animation partner for a 52-part animated spin-off set to begin production next year and air across two series from 2027–2029.
  • The War Between will also receive a DVD and Blu-ray release on 27 February. A physical release of the soundtrack album for that series from Lorne Balfe will precede it on 30 January; however, it is already available on digital platforms. On 12 December, the long-awaited and long-requested tenth series soundtrack from Murray Gold was published.
  • Season 21 will receive a "Collection" release on 16 March, featuring a remastered episodes with new special features. Additionally a plethora of new audio and print stories are due for publication in early 2026.
