It feels like ages since Lego announced that it would be making a set based on Doctor Who—but now we don’t need a time machine to find a future where it’s out. It’s finally happening this December, and it’s looking rather fantastic if you’re a fan of all things wibbly, wobbly, and maybe even timey and wimey too. 21304 Doctor Who is based off the original Idea submitted by Andrew Clark, “Doctor Who and Companions” to Lego Ideas in February of last year, and stays pretty faithful to the original idea of the set: a TARDIS model that opens up to reveal the time ship’s console room, which is suitably bigger on the inside. Here’s the full description of the set from Lego: Construct a stunningly detailed LEGO® version of the iconic TARDIS® and role-play the Doctor’s time-travel adventures! Created by fan-designer Andrew Clark and selected by LEGO Ideas members, this set is based on the BBC’s popular and long-running television series about a Time Lord – the Doctor – exploring the universe in a blue police box.
Due to trans-dimensional engineering, the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than the outside and this cool multifunctional set includes the console room that houses all the flight controls. Regenerate the Doctor and defeat the evil Daleks™ and a Weeping Angel with the help of his extraordinary companion Clara. Then close the doors of the TARDIS and launch into another dimension! Includes 4 minifigures with assorted accessory elements: the Eleventh Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald and a Weeping Angel, plus 2 Daleks™ The set features the two most recent Doctors played by Peter Capaldi and Matt Smith, as well as their companion Clara—and it’s largely based on their appearance in “Time of The Doctor”, the 2013 Christmas special that saw Matt Smith’s Eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord regenerate and turn into Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor. Presumably, Lego would very much like you to purchase their Doctor Who level pack for Lego Dimensions to get the Twelfth Doctor in his more usual outfit, rather than the one worn by his immediate predecessor.
It wouldn’t be Doctor Who without some monsters to fight though, so you also get two new brick-built Daleks, as well as a Weeping Angel to harass The Doctors and Clara—and of course, the Angel has an alternate “screaming” face for when it’s ready to attack! The Doctor Who set will be available from December 1st, and will cost $59.99/€59.99, just in time for the show’s Christmas Special. You’ll want to act fast on this one—there’s a lot of Doctor Who fans who’ve been waiting ages for a set like this. Hopefully it does well enough like the Minecraft Ideas set did, to spin off into it’s own line. There’s so many more Doctors and monsters Lego could make!

Doctor Who is one of the many franchises featured in LEGO Dimensions. Doctor Who began airing on British television in 1963, and ran continuously until the show was put on hiatus in 1989. An attempt was made to revive the show with a straight-to-TV movie in 1996, but this did not result in an ongoing series. In 2005 the show was successfully revived due to critical acclaim, and thankfully continues airing around the world to this day. (Unlike other revivals, the 1996 movie and 2005 series are direct continuations of the 1963-89 series, making it all one big series, though for simplicity's sake the BBC tends to treat the "Classic Era" and "Modern Era" separately in some things, like season numbering.) Doctor Who celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. A key to its longevity is the plot element that the lead character, The Doctor, regenerates into a new body and personality when the old one is mortally wounded or gets too old, allowing for the periodic recasting of the role, which is treated by the production team - and by fans - as a soft relaunch and renewal of the series.
In recent years, the changing of the Doctor's companion - a (usually) young and female human who the Doctor shares his adventures with - has also been treated as a soft reboot. At the time of the release of LEGO Dimensions and the first two related character packs, the current Twelfth Doctor was played by Peter Capaldi, while Jenna Coleman portrayed his companion, Clara Oswald, and both recorded dialogue for the game (along with other cast members) and took part in a major promotional event for the game at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con. Around the time of the game's release, however, it was announced that Coleman would be leaving the series at the end of 2015; her replacement, Pearl Mackie, was announced in the spring of 2016. There have been several spin-off series produced since 2005; one of these, Torchwood, featured a former companion named Captain Jack Harkness, who appears as a non-playable mission-giving character in the Doctor Who Adventure World. The Doctor is called a "Time Lord," a time-traveling adventurer from a far off planet, who travels through time and space in a spacecraft known by the acronym TARDIS.
A TARDIS is a machine that is larger on the inside than the outside and is supposed to change its appearance based on its surroundings however The Doctor's TARDIS is locked in the form of a police box. The Doctor is also able to regenerate upon facing critical injuries, so he appears as many different people throughout the series. The Doctor loves Earth, so he makes many trips here to save the planet, or to enlist earthlings to help him with tasks in the galaxy.
