We have options…
Can you feel that?
A great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cancelled their BritBox subscriptions.
And now its your job to watch them all.
The question is, in what order should you watch them?
Or older stories like William Hartnells The Time Meddler or Patrick Troughtons Tomb of the Cybermen.
(Just kidding about that last one).
Would you jumble up all the chapters ofGreat Expectationsand read them in the wrong order?
Would you skip to the good bits in the Complete Works of Shakespeare?
It should be viewed as its creators intended in the precise order that the episodes were released.
Not more than one a day, really.
But there are benefits to watching the show in this way.
Still, maybe you find the idea of mainlining so many of the black-and-white episodes in one go daunting.
Or maybe watching the show from beginning to end makesDoctor Whos continuity seemtooconsistent?
Whatever your reservations, there is a third way to watch the entirety ofDoctor Who.
But it is not for the faint-hearted.
Ultra Hardcore Mode: Chronological Order
No, not in chronological order from the Doctors perspective.
Start with the RADA cavemen again but skip the first episode, well get to that later.
Or perhaps the first episode of Castrovalva, when the TARDIS flies back to the Big Bang itself.
But the goal is to watch every episode ofDoctor Whoin order of thehistorical time periodit is set.
The entire 19thcentury is really, really busy.
Which byDoctor Whofan standards, naturally makes it the best.
Over 800 episodes of Doctor Who will be available to stream in the UK onBBC iPlayerfrom November 1.
