Ask the Matrix is our FAQ section. You should use this section if:

• if you are an expert in Doctor Who and want to contribute, but have some questions first
• if you aren't an expert in Doctor Who, and have suggestions for us to help make the site easier to navigate and understand

If you're fed up of joining shabby smarter-than-thou communities and just want a straightforward answer, just come in and ask away. We'll get answers from those that know, and we'll post them here in our FAQ database.

We're happy to cover questions about the classic series or the expanded Doctor Who universe.

How to ask questions or to contribute

There are two ways to as a question, post an FAQ response or post a speculative essay. You can either contact the Ask the Matrix project leader (see projects), or you can leave your question as a comment to be picked up by one of the team.
