After last being seen in the 2023 Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road<\/a>, Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Doctor and Millie Gibson\u2019s Ruby Sunday return in a double bill of episodes, starting with Space Babies<\/a> and ending with The Devil\u2019s Chord<\/a>.<\/p>\n The release schedule for the show has been changed this year, so exactly what time can fans watch the episodes? And how?<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about the release time and schedule for Doctor Who season 14.<\/p>\n For the first time, episodes from Doctor Who season 14 will be releasing at the same time around the world, on BBC iPlayer in the UK and on Disney Plus elsewhere.<\/p>\n As part of this, the episodes will also be arriving on iPlayer before<\/strong> they air on BBC One, with the first two dropping at midnight on Saturday 11th May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The release schedule depending on your territory around the world is as follows:<\/p>\n While the first two episodes of Doctor Who will be available from midnight on Saturday 11th May, they will also air later that day on BBC One<\/a>, back-to-back.<\/p>\n The first episode, Space Babies, will air at 6:20pm<\/strong> on the channel, followed by the second episode, The Devil\u2019s Chord, at 7:05pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Future episodes will then air once a week in a similar fashion, first dropping on BBC iPlayer at midnight, before being broadcast on BBC One at a scheduled time.<\/p>\n In previous years, Doctor Who has always aired on BBC One first, usually at a time between 5pm and 9pm, on a Saturday or a Sunday.<\/p>\n When the change in schedule was announced earlier this year, with a switch to the BBC iPlayer-first model at midnight, some fans criticised the move<\/a>, arguing that they wouldn\u2019t be able to stay up so late to watch the episodes, and worried about getting them spoiled on social media before seeing them.<\/p>\n There was also criticism that the change would mean the show lost its ability to generate instant social media discussion, with fans watching the show together at the same time and discussing it online as it went out.<\/p>\n When the news was announced, former showrunner and returning guest writer Steven Moffat commented on a post<\/a> by showrunner Russell T Davies saying: \u201cWait, WHAT??? Two brand new Doctor Who stories ON THE SAME DAY?? This is a whole new level of INSANE GREATNESS!!\u201d.<\/p>\n He then went on to jokingly acknowledging the fan response, saying: \u201cSpeaking as a fan, I can\u2019t wait to complain about it!!!\u201d<\/p>\nWhat time is Doctor Who season 14 out on BBC iPlayer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
