The Whoniverse is a British media franchise and shared universe consisting of the BBC television series Doctor Who, its spin-offs,{{citation |url=http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/capaldis-past-appearances-not-ignored-53407.htm |title=Capaldi's Past Whoniverse Appearances Not Ignored |date=28 September 2014 |publisher=Doctor Who TV }} and other associated media.{{sfn|Kistler|2013|p=224}}{{sfn|Lofficier|1992|loc=[http://www.lofficier.com/dwfrwrd.html Foreword]}} The shared universe nature was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters, usually deriving from the main programme.{{citation |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-apr-18-et-sarahjane18-story.html |title=She's back in the Whoniverse |date=18 April 2008 |first=Robert |last=Lloyd |work=Los Angeles Times}}

Doctor Who depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being with a human appearance. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. With various companions, they combat foes, work to save civilisations, and help people in need.

Doctor Who was first broadcast in 1963 and ran for 26 seasons until 1989, briefly returning in the form of a TV film in 1996. It was later revived in 2005, when the show's newfound success led to the commissioning of several spin-offs – Torchwood (2006–2011), The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011), and Class (2016). Other spin-offs include the pilot K-9 and Company (1981) and non-BBC produced series K9 (2009–2010) while several new spin-offs are currently in production.

The franchise name, a portmanteau of the words "who" and "universe", was originally used to describe Doctor Who{{'s}} production and fanbase.{{sfn|Haining|1983}} In 2023, the year of the show's sixtieth anniversary, the BBC adopted the name in an official capacity, making the Whoniverse the umbrella brand for all programmes connected to Doctor Who, including documentaries.

The majority of the Whoniverse's programmes have been commercially successful and generally received positive reviews. They have also inspired an extensive collection of book, comic and magazine publications, audio plays, films, video games, exhibitions, and stage plays.

Background

The earliest official usage of "Whoniverse" was in the introduction to the appendices of The Doctor Who Programme Guide Volume 2 by Jean-Marc Lofficier published May 1981 in its hardcover edition.{{cite book |last=Lofficier |first=Jean-Marc |title=The Doctor Who Programme Guide Volume 2 |publisher=W. H. Allen |year=1981 |isbn=0491028040 |location=London |page=105 |language=English}} The publicity blurb on the back of The Second Doctor Who Quiz Book by Nigel Robinson published in December 1983 also used the term.{{Cite book |last=Robinson |first=Nigel |title=The Second Doctor Who Quiz Book (A Target book) |publisher=Target |year=1983 |isbn=978-0426194064 |location=London |pages=Back cover |language=English}} In his 1983 book Doctor Who: A Celebration; Two Decades Through Time and Space, Peter Haining called his final chapter "The Whoniverse".{{sfn|Haining|1983}} The section assembled factual information about all the episodes to date, but also gave information about fan clubs and ancillary entertainments related to the programme. Thus, the term Whoniverse referred to everything connected with the programme behind-the-scenes. In this meaning, standing exhibitions, discussions about the filming of episodes and even the fandom itself were considered part of the "Whoniverse". The term Whoniverse is still used with this definition today,{{citation |url=https://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/status/415942947998167040 |title=A message from Matt Smith: "To the Whoniverse, thanks a million. You're the best. I'll miss you. And I'll miss the madness." |publisher=twitter.com}}{{citation |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/writersroom/posts/the_sarah_jane_adventures/ |work=BBC – Blogs – Writersroom |title=The Sarah Jane Adventures |publisher=BBC |date=1 November 2010}}{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhosavetheday.com/ |title=Doctor Who – #Save The Day |website=BBC }}{{cite web|url=http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/23/anglophenia.jsp?bc_id=76 |title=Jessica Simpson to Enter the Whoniverse? |date=7 February 2007 |website=Anglophenia |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070815152915/http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/23/anglophenia.jsp?bc_id=76 |archive-date=15 August 2007 }} including as the name of a Doctor Who convention in Australia.{{cite web|url=http://www.thehubproductions.com/Events/Whoniverse/ |title=Whoniverse |year=2011 |website=The Hub Productions }}{{cite web |url=http://matt-smith.org/2013/12/whoniverse-the-doctor-is-in-australia-2014-convention/ |title=Whoniverse: The Doctor Is In – Australia 2014 Convention |website=Magnificent Matt Smith! – Your newest online resource to the 11th Doctor Matt Smith! |access-date=24 March 2014 |archive-date=25 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325144349/http://matt-smith.org/2013/12/whoniverse-the-doctor-is-in-australia-2014-convention/ |url-status=dead }}

The term began to appear in mainstream press coverage, placing greater emphasis on it as a fictional universe, following the popular success of the 2005 Doctor Who revival and the establishment of its spin-offs Torchwood (2006–2011) and The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011).{{Cite journal| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/jersey/content/articles/2007/07/12/bf07_dalek_cyberman_feature.shtml |first=Ryan| last=Morrison | title=Battle of Flowers: Cybermen and Dalek for Battle| journal=BBC Jersey| date=12 July 2007 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/09/29/peter-capaldis-multiple-appearances-in-the-whoniverse-to-be-explained-by-an-old-russell-t-davies-idea/ |title=Peter Capaldi's Multiple Appearances in the Whoniverse To Be Explained by an Old Russell T Davies Idea |date=29 September 2013 |website=Bleeding Cool }}

Development

In October 2022, it was reported that Bad Wolf Studios had filed for a new subsidiary company, run by former Doctor Who executive producer Julie Gardner and former BBC head of drama Jane Tranter, called "Whoniverse1 LTD".{{Cite web |last=Jasper |first=Matthew |date=27 November 2021 |title=New Doctor Who Production Company Name Hints at Shared Universe & Spinoffs |url=https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-whoniverse-company-spinoff-shared-universe-hint/ |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=Screen Rant |archive-date=27 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221027062905/https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-whoniverse-company-spinoff-shared-universe-hint/ |url-status=live }} On 17 January 2023, outlets reported that a new sign at Bad Wolf Studios possessed the tagline "Home of the Whoniverse".{{citation |url=https://www.blogtorwho.com/welcome-to-the-whoniverse/ |title=Welcome to the Whoniverse |date=18 January 2023 | publisher=blogtorwho.com}}{{Cite web |last=Flook |first=Ray |date=17 January 2023 |title=Doctor Who: Bad Wolf As "The Home of The Whoniverse" Very Promising |url=https://bleedingcool.com/tv/doctor-who-bad-wolf-being-the-home-of-the-whoniverse-very-promising/ |access-date=8 February 2023 |website=Bleeding Cool News And Rumors |language=en}}

On 30 October 2023, the BBC announced it would be using the term "Whoniverse" in an official capacity to describe all shows within the orbit of Doctor Who, and specifically their home on BBC iPlayer, including documentary programming.{{Cite web |title=Doctor Who: Welcome to The Whoniverse where every Doctor, every companion and hundreds of terrifying monsters live |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/doctor-who-the-whoniverse-tales-of-the-tardis/ |access-date=30 October 2023 |website=www.bbc.co.uk |language=en}} It had previously been announced that over eight hundred previous episodes would be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.{{citation |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/doctor-who-archive-on-bbc-iplayer |title=60 Years of Doctor Who drops on BBC iPlayer alongside landmark online archive |publisher=bbc.co.uk}} A Whoniverse ident was also adopted to unify content within the Whoniverse collection.
