Oxford Doctor Who Society

Profile

We are the group for fans of the BBC TV series Doctor Who. Past and present students meet up once or twice a week to enjoy all things Whovian. We regularly watch episodes from throughout the show’s history, organise the termly geek quiz, and end up in the pub quite frequently. All are welcome!

If you would like a printed termcard, send me an email and one will fly to you as fast as the pigeon post can carry it.
