The Tardis has landed once again. Yes, Doctor Who is back for its eleventh season since the 2005 reboot, and it returns to our screens complete with a brand new Doctor. To learn more about that – and how you can catch every Doctor Who episode online no matter where are in the world, just keep scrolling down.
It's the British TV institution that went global and its back for series 11. Its Doctor Who time once again on the BBC, and we're here to make sure you don't miss a single episode – regardless of whether or not you're in the UK.
The headline news for the sci-fi show's return is the new Doctor, Jodie Whittaker. In replacing Peter Capaldi, Whittaker becomes the first female Doctor and she'll be accompanied by new characters Graham, Yasmin and Ryan, played by Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole, respectively.
More fresh impetus comes with the arrival of Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall, who takes over from Steven Moffat as showrunner. The BBC has kept its lips pretty well sealed about the drama that's set to unfold, and with trailers also giving little away, you'll just have to tune in to see what the new era holds for the cult show.
For those outside the UK, you need not miss out on Doctor Who as you can still tune in using a VPN service. How to get one of those, and which is best for you, can be found out below.
