The 50th anniversary is now just two weeks away and we’re here to make sure you don’t miss a second of the action!

As we all know, the heart of the celebrations will be the 75 minute special The Day of the Doctor on 23rd November but that’s just the start of the festivities as the BBC have gone all out to mark the Time Lord’s golden anniversary in style.

Suffice to say, when Steven Moffat claimed it’d “take over television”, he wasn’t lying (for a change)!

Nobody knows what shocks and surprises await us in the anniversary special but, for the time being, one thing is for sure – there will be plenty of Doctor Who to go around over the coming weeks as we countdown to the big day. We’ve compiled all the need-to-know TV and radio listings in order below so you can keep track on where you need to be…
