10 Signs You're Suffering From Doctor Who Withdrawal Syndrome

Nobody said it would be easy.

By Dan Butler /

"I've got everything under control." You can keep telling yourself that but, like Clara Oswald, it just isn't entirely true now, is it? The Doctor has been off our screens for over a month (yes, it really has been that long!) and the process of dealing with his absence never gets any easier. Doctor Who fans are used to this by now, of course. They wait months for him to return and then he's here and gone again before you can say "Raxacoricofallapatorius" so it's no exaggeration to say that the waiting is always the hardest past. Even the task of having to wait a mere week between each new episode is difficult enough for most of us so the Time Lord's legion of dedicated devotees can be forgiven for going a bit loopy - for want of a better word - during the show's extended downtime. And believe us, they've been known to go very loopy indeed. If you're one of the loopy ones (and there's no reason why you'd be reading this list if you weren't), then rest assured that Y.A.N.A. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder so surely every Whovian heart is the size of the entire universe by now. If you've been feeling particularly low since Last Christmas and you think the Time Lord might be to blame, here are 10 surefire signs that you're suffering from Doctor Who withdrawal syndrome. Nobody said it would be easy but at least everyone is in it together. So... Is it time for Series 9 yet?!
