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 monthly plans, please subscribe to our monthly email newsletter. (Don't worry - we won't sell your data). You can also find us on Facebook and Bluesky, and we encourage members to become sponsors on Patreon to keep our meets free (and low-cost), accessible, and inclusive.

•OnlineVIRTUAL Doctor Who Day Screening: DAY OF THE DOCTOR Deluxe
OnlineFor Doctor Who Day (and to help prepare everyone for Chicago TARDIS during Thanksgiving Weekend), we thought we would flash back to the glory years of 2013.
Join us for a screening of DAY OF THE DOCTOR, where we will show
- Night of the Doctor (featuring Paul McGann)
- The original pre-theatrical introduction, and
- THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR
Because Doctor Who day *is* that important, and we want to help you get in the Whovian mood.
Hope you’ll join us!

•OnlineVIRTUAL Timey-Wimey Watch Club - GENESIS OF THE DALEKS
OnlineWe’re kicking off 2026 with a new series of quarterly gatherings to help people explore the world of classic Doctor Who.
Our new Timey Wimey Watch Club will focus on longer (six episodes or more) stories in the classic range. We are focusing on one of Tom Baker’s first stories and how its themes remain relevant.
How does the “Timey Wimey” work? We’re asking that you watch the series on your own. You can easily stream GENESIS OF THE DALEKS on your own via
YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaxBbcbkAtQ
Tubi - https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/200030550/s12-e11-genesis-of-the-daleks-pt-1
When we gather via Zoom, we’ll discuss what we watched. It allows us to view at our own pace (no three-hour Zoom viewings) and provides ample opportunity for discussion.
(And if you don’t have a chance to watch - please join us anyway! We would love to have you!)
We’re looking to celebrate the series during this temporary hiatus, so we encourage you to join us!
