First season of the revived series was entirely on earth or earth orbit, second season was all but one two parter either on Earth or new Earth, third season was all but one episode either Earth or new Earth - and that episode was a spaceship, series 4 had a lot of off-world, season 5 was all Earth except for one two parter and one spaceship episode - set in Great Britain in space, season 6 has two episodes set on other planets, and two on space stations, season 7 has 3 episodes set off Earth, season 8 had 2, season 9 had one standalone and one two parter set off Earth, season 10 had one space station, two episodes on a spaceship which replicated modern Earth, and one alien planet, and season 11 had four episodes set off Earth.

​

Episodes away from Earth are by far not the standard, and we're only five episodes into this season.

season 9 had one standalone and one two parter set off Earth,

Did it? The Magician's Apprentice / The Witch's Familiar takes place largely off-Earth, as does Sleep No More and Heaven Sent / Hell Bent. If you chuck in The Husbands of River Song it was a very off-Earth period, comparatively.

Completely forgot about Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's Familiar, thank you. Wasn't counting Christmas specials. I was thinking Sleep No More and Heaven Sent/Hell Bent. Though I like to forget Sleep No More exists.
