Even the numbering of the show's series/seasons is an awful, confused mess!


    Doctor Who Series 15 Airdate Revealed!
    --------------------------------------
    It seems a slip-up at the BBC has resulted in the start
    date for Doctor Who Series 15 being revealed: though not
    officially confirmed just yet, it sounds like the first
    episode at least will air on 12th April 2025!

    Just a few days ago, amid the half-time ads during the
    BBC Sport coverage of Under-20s Six Nations Rugby, an
    iPlayer teaser trailer showed various clips from Ncuti
    Gatwa's second season as the Fifteenth Doctor, topped
    off with the apparent start date, i.e. in a little less
    than two months away. This seems to have been a brief
    oversight as the BBC hasn't actually confirmed this yet.
    We expect confirmation pretty soon though.

    As such, Disney hasn't confirmed the date it'll start
    streaming worldwide either, though this is expected to be
    the same as the BBC.

    The next series will be comprised of eight episodes, so,
    unless it's a two-episode premiere like last year, a
    12th April start date would mean the season would conclude
    on 31st May 2025. Otherwise, it may end on 24th May.

    Either way, Doctor Who Series 15 - starring Ncuti Gatwa,
    Millie Gibson (back after a couple of episodes as Ruby
    Sunday), and Varada Sethu, the latter as new companion,
    Belinda Chandra - will air in April and May 2025, and will
    be the second run of stories under Russell T Davies'
    second era as showrunner.
