What we’re about
We're a group of Doctor Who fans who get together in person and virtually to socialize, watch episodes, or listen to audio dramas. Although we're based in Chicago, we welcome anyone interested in Doctor Who.
(Note to medical professionals - we're not about medical doctors. Yes, we've had people show up asking if they can network with other doctors. We're still waiting to our first Time Lord because that would be awesome.)
We welcome anyone interested in Doctor Who. Whether you started with PBS "back in the day" or just learned about the show, you're welcome to join us. We meet both virtually and in person in the Chicago area.
If you want to know our plans for the month, please subscribe to our monthly email newsletter. (Don't worry - we won't sell your data). You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter, and we encourage members to become sponsors on Patreon to keep our meets free (and low-cost), accessible, and inclusive.

Remember that scene in the recent Who story “Rogue”?
No, not that scene, the other one with the guy from WITHNAIL AND I.
Current fan theory speculates that it’s a deep cut to this Flash-animated Doctor Who story from 2003. It was meant to be a revival to celebrate the show’s 40th anniversary...until Russell T. Davies spoiled it.
But we have it. And we’re showing it.
Please join us for this deepest of Doctor Who deep cuts.

Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/ChicagoDoctorWhoMeetup - VIRTUAL TARDIS Talk - Doctor Who on Disney: What Do We Think?Link visible for attendees
For the past year, Doctor Who has enjoyed the luxury of having production and distribution costs co-funded by Disney.
We’ve seen the 60th anniversary specials, the first Ncuti Christmas Special, and Series 1/Series 14/however you want to classify it.
Please join us for a conversation about how we feel about the show, what it did right, did wrong, and did differently than in the past.
We’ll also discuss our hopes for this year’s Christmas special, and what we would like to see in the show in the years ahead.
Hope to see you there!
