Doctor Who merch and gifts for your nostalgic loved one

For Christmas and beyond, the Doctor has got your back…

The Doctor Who's TARDIS is pictured at Southbank, London on April 12, 2017. A TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) appeared near the London Eye, for the presentation of the tenth season of Doctor Who. Several fans had the chance to take photos with the iconic time machine.

Of all the unique and personal gifts you can find for this Christmas, Doctor Who merch is ideal for your science-fiction-loving, nostalgic loved one. With our picks, you’ll be stepping back in time to your childhood, back to when you used to hide behind the sofa from the Daleks. Doctor Who merchandise isn’t just for the fans, though, it can be for anyone who has fond memories of the show.

60 years after the very first episode, our favourite eccentric alien who travels space and time in an old police box is still very much in our hearts. And – still on our TV screens, too. Starting with wartime movie veteran William Hartnell, there have been many Doctor Who actors who have taken up the role. Most recently, actress Jodie Whittaker completed her tenure as the beloved hero.

Arguably more popular than it was back in 1963, Doctor Who is a worldwide phenomenon. It’s strange how such an iconic piece for British pop culture came about just by chance: to fill a slot on Saturday night. As you may remember, the original series ran until 1989 – and after a backdoor pilot movie failed to captivate a North American audience, Doctor Who was seemingly out of time.

But, for its dedicated fans, the show stayed alive (in one form or another) through fan projects with straight-to-video films, radio dramas and original novels. Time and time again, it is the fans – and those who remember the show fondly – who keep the magic of Doctor Who alive. This is why, at Yours, we’ve put together some of our favourite Doctor Who merch for your nostalgic loved one - that aren't just food gifts. Our picks are truly out of this world.

FAQs

What is happening for the 60th anniversary?

November 23, 1963 is where it all began, making 2023 the 60th anniversary. But, what is happening? After all, not many TV shows make it to their 60th anniversary. We hope there is some new Doctor Who merch to come...

Doctor Who is returning to the BBC in November with three special episodes to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee of this beloved science-fiction show. Showrunner Russell T Davies has brought back fan-favourite Doctor, David Tennant, alongside actress Catherine Tate, reprising her role as Donna Noble - with some fantastic guest stars, too.

Have you seen the trailer yet?

Who is the new Doctor Who?

Though it is true that David Tennant is making a return for the 60th anniversary TV specials, he’s not returning full-time as our favourite Time Lord. And - in May of last year, Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the new Doctor.

Most well-known for his breakout, BAFTA-winning role in Netflix’s Sex Education as Eric Effiong, Gatwa is a Scottish actor. And – most recently, you may have spotted him as one of the ‘Kens’ in the Barbie Movie, alongside his Sex Education co-stars, Emma Mackey and Connor Swindells.

Speaking about his upcoming role as the Doctor, Ncuti said, "There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same."

Where can I watch classic Doctor Who?

Luckily for us, classic Doctor Who is arriving on BBC iPlayer this November. How exciting.
