** The show drifted this way over the course of its very long run, starting out as ''relatively'' hard science fiction, with some lapses, such as the Celestial Toymaker and the Land of Fiction. The turning point was possibly the Key to Time StoryArc, which featured two god-like Anthropomorphic Personification of Order and Chaos, respectively, and then did [[HandWave not try too hard]] to call them anything else. Even so, fans complained when ''Silver Nemesis'' depicted Lady Peinforte using magic and ''naming'' it as such, though this was [[{{Handwave}} handwaved]] the next season as not literal magic, as such, but really the work of a CosmicHorror called Fenric.

The BBC and other copyright holders have never defined what part, if any, of the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse is {{canon}}, though the adventure games produced from 2010-2011 are said to have been produced alongside the show as extra "episodes". Further complicating things is that the universe is about time travel, allowing for alternative and overwritten timelines.

* Radio/BigFinishDoctorWho (1999-present)

** JagoAndLitefoot (2010-present)
** {{Counter-Measures}} (2012)

* AliensAndMonsters: In about 85% of any television set in the {{Whoniverse}}. ''K-9 & Company'', in a {{subversion}} of viewer's expectations, had a ScoobyDooHoax of one. ''Torchwood'' had one episode where the lack of AliensAndMonsters was PlayedForDrama, and the heroes had to come to terms with ordinary humans being the gruesome villains.

* FreeLoveFuture: A central theme in the new series.

* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' (2006-present)

** ''Doctor Who Adventures''. ''DWM'' for kids, essentially. It included comics.

* CanonWelding: During the period when ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' was owned by Marvel UK, there were some variously subtle hints dropped about links between the Whoniverse and the MarvelUniverse. Michael Moorcock's Eleventh Doctor spin-off novel ''The Coming of the Terraphiles'' is a full-on IntercontinuityCrossover with Moorcock's "Second Ether" novels, which means that the Whoniverse is also part of Moorcock's multiverse.

* BroadStrokes: Continuity tends to operate on this basis in regards to the universe itself, less so for the characters.
