Nobody likes a show-off, but I haven't spent 27 years obsessing about this programme and the past seven psychotically reporting every detail of its production without learning a few secrets. New to BuzzFeed, but my Guardian archive of current episodes can be found here, and a run through the classic series over here.

One of the most notorious figures in fandom, Levine was actually a pioneer for Hi-NRG dance music as a DJ and producer, but his first love was always Who. He became a continuity consultant to the production team in the 80s, and was responsible for the retrieval of several lost episodes. Nowadays, he can usually be found raising armies on Twitter for any and every affront has been made onto fandom by the BBC themselves (which is most things lately).

Actress who played companion Peri opposite the Fifth and Sixth Doctors and continues to appear in Big Finish audio plays. Seems to see Twitter as wonderful playground where everyone can be wonderful to each other the whole time. And why not?

Played noble savage warrior Leela Of The Sevateem opposite Tom Baker, and appears alongside side him to this day, despite them not having got along at the time. Is such an ambassador for the show she even made an appearance at gay Doctor Who social collective The Sisterhood Of Karn and ended up going on a lads' holiday with one of the organisers. What a woman.

Editor of Gay Times seemingly on a one-man mission to turn the title into a Doctor Who fanzine, with some degree of success. Will usually be found tweeting about his pug (himself something of an internet celebrity, having starred in Middle Class Problems and been babysat by Jo Grant actress Katy Manning).

Producer and director of several of the excellent DVD extra documentaries on the current range. Recently he pulled together the survivors from the controversial shoot on William Hartnell's final story The Tenth Planet and took the cast of The Mind Of Evil back to the Dower Castle location shoot. Tweets about neither boys or The X Factor.

Writer and Who fan Neil convinced his wife Sue to an experiment where they would watch every single surviving episode in order and she would try to understand his obsession. The results became the hilarious and touching blog Adventures With The Wife In Space. A book of the experiment will be released in November.

A key figure in the Doctor Who Restoration Team, and one of the main players in the worldwide search for all the missing episodes lost in the 60s. Depending on who you believe, their work could be about to yield some spectacular results...

Played bolshy companion Tegan Jovanaka opposite the Fourth and Fifth Doctors, before quitting acting to become an agent and activist for women in film and TV. After years of reluctance, has returned to the Doctor Who family, appearing in audio plays and attending conventions. Her handle references her character's nickname of the 'Mouth On Legs'.

The Eighth Doctor, doomed to just one screen appearance after his TV movie was not picked up to pilot, but enjoyed a long career in audio and comic book. Treats the whole thing as quite a hoot, as per the cheeky tweet above.

Played Ace, the single greatest companion of the 80s, and who remains one of the most generous ambassadors for the programme to this day. Like Nicola Bryant, spends a lot of the time making gags with what now looks like an online social club of former companions.

Writer of recent episodes like Dinosaurs On A Spaceship, The Power Of Three and former executive producer of Torchwood. Created something you have may have heard of called Broadchurch. Despite such greatness will never live down a 1986 appearance on audience review show Open Air when he berated producers for not making Doctor Who dark and adult enough.

Godhead of fantasy fiction who was tempted by over by Steven Moffat to write for Who with episodes The Doctor's Wife and Nightmare In Silver. But a good half of his tweets are promoting his wife Amanda Palmer's music career.

With a forthcoming role in Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, the Amy Pond actress is on her way to becoming proper Hollywood famous. Thankfully that hasn't gone to her head yet, from her Twitter feed she's still as down-to-earth and mad-as-a-box-of-frogs as we remember.

Actress who played Third Doctor companion Jo Grant in the 70s, and remains the most fabulous of all the former companions. Caused controversy after leaving by posing naked with a Dalek on the cover of Girl Illustrated. Her feed is a world of chaos, and she tweets about Darren Scott's pug almost as much as he does.
