The universe inhabited by [[Doctor Who|The Doctor]]. It is a large and unwieldy beast full of internal contradictions. Fortunately, it's a really, ''really'' big universe encompassing, er, the entire universe and a history stretching, oh, from the Big Bang to 100 trillion years in the future (plus an alternate universe or five).

* [[Aliens and Monsters]]: In about 85% of any television set in the [[Whoniverse]]. ''K-9 & Company'', in a [[Subversion]] of viewer's expectations, had a [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]] of one. ''Torchwood'' had one episode where the lack of [[Aliens and Monsters]] was [[Played for Drama]], and the heroes had to come to terms with ordinary humans being the gruesome villains.

Line 51 ⟶ 49:
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]

** 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 [[Story Arc]], which featured two god-like Anthropomorphic Personification of Order and Chaos, respectively, and then did [[Hand Wave|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 [[Hand Wave|handwaved]] the next season as not literal magic, as such, but the work of the [[Cosmic Horror]] named Fenric.
* [[Earth Is the Center of the Universe]]
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] (especially so in the [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]])
* [[Free-Love Future]]: A central theme in the new series.
* [[Heroes-R-Us]]: UNIT, Torchwood, Sarah Jane's bunch...
* [[Invisible Aliens]]: (The [[Whoniverse]] also has several species of literally ''invisible'' aliens.)
* [[Magic From Technology]]

* [[Masquerade]]: Some modern stories set in the Whoniverse have suggested that [[The Unmasqued World|ordinary humans have now gotten to accept that aliens exist...]] Took them long enough.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: The Doctor, Captain Jack, Sarah Jane, K-9, Mr Smith...
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: More commonly, setting things right before they go wrong, often by means of a [[Stable Time Loop]].
* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]
* [[Space Is Magic]]
