Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who’s Day roundup, a bulging portfolio of fan creativity and astonishments from the last seven days on social media and the internet.

And this week, we begin a new month and new Instagram challenge. The fan artists of Instagram have been doodling Doctor Who things for Inktober, and they’ve had a daily theme to meet, too.

Day 1 is Crystal:

Here’s what else has been going on in space and time this week:

• BBC TV watchers found that their night’s viewing was interrupted by some random interference… with a familiar face:

 

• It’s not the first time the Doctor has interrupted TV:

@CFJohnston17

• And naturally Twitter had jokes:

@tardis_monkey

@GF97Youtuber

• A very stately – if slightly premature – musical goodbye to the Thirteenth Doctor:

 

• This is lovely: Jodie Whittaker turns up on breakfast TV to congratulate Doctor Who fan George on his new job, presenting the BBC children’s channel CBeebies:

@DrWhoSpace

• A beautiful stained glass Thirteen:

@marvelousmrsmosaic

•… and her mode of transportation:

@greyharlen

• This plush title sequence, stuffed with liquid landscapes:

 

• Fan art Rose is heartbroken:

@avawhitneyart

• Thirteen has a haircut:

@softestbutch

• And a headcut:

@willsherart

• A fanimation showing what the Emperor of the paradigm Daleks might look like:

 

• Martha and Ten get some overdue love:

@mythicalcosplays

• And so do Eleven and Clara:

@sunnysteps__

• And Ten and Rose:

@freesias_artworks

• "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" gets a movie-style poster:

@soundsmythprod

• This wobbly title sequence, suggesting that Richard Ayoade is the Fourteenth Doctor:

 

• Thirteen stands still long enough to pose for a portrait:

@anesidoraart

• …sorry, TWO portraits:

@darkryan_

• And to finish things off this week, here’s a treat. Russell T Davies was interviewed in 2019 by the BBC Writer’s Room, and he has a lot of tips for any prospective writers and reveals a lot about how his creative process works. Given that he’ll be doing exactly this on future Doctor Who stories right now, it seems a perfect time to revisit, and that’s clearly why this video has resurfaced:

 

• Oh, and while we’re on people making a return to Doctor Who, Billie Piper was asked the question, and she’s not saying no. Let’s face it, stranger things have already happened:

TTFN!
