The Time Team

The Time Team was a series of articles published in Doctor Who Magazine.

Richard Bignell, Clayton Hickman, Jac Rayner and Peter Ware worked together to view and review every Doctor Who television story ever produced before the show's 2005 revival, eventually finishing in 2009. The project ultimately took over ten years to complete. In 2011, the project was restarted in order to view and review the revived series with a different team and this was despite Hickman indicating in 2005 that the first team would eventually go into the revived series . In 2017, the second team stopped with The Almost People, which aired the same year the second team started.

In 2018, a larger third Team Team was formed, whose participants alternated from issue to issue. Rather than watching the show in order, instead, the team watched multiple episodes from multiple eras (or in one issue, listen to songs from multiple eras) connected by a theme. Fourteen sessions of this format were recorded across sixteen issues, the last one being released in August 2019. As of January 2023 there have been no further Time Team articles.

The articles for the first two teams were illustrated by Adrian Salmon.
