About us
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.

RESCHEDULED VIRTUAL Screening - Doctor Who Day Double Feature
·OnlineOnlineFor our “official” Doctor Who celebration screening, we’re doing something a little different.
We’ll be looking at a classic story (or at least, one episode of a classic story), and seeing how a later anniversary story serves as a sequel.
We’ll be screening episode one of “An Unearthly Child”, followed by “Remembrance of the Daleks” (shown during the show’s 25th season).
We’ll also talk about how both episodes have some very unusual connections, and how the latter reflects aspects of the former.
Hope to see you there!
