Yep, that’s a mouthful but that is what happened on BBC One. A TV show was shown and, without knowing it, created an entertainment juggernaut.
We watched An Adventure in Time and Space last night which was a loving tribute to the beginning of the series.
We will be watching the airing of The Day of the Doctor at 2:50 EST along with the rest of the world.
I have rewatched The Night of the Doctor and will probably do so again. I am so glad that they gave the 8th Doctor his transition. And it just tells us how good McGann would have been if given a chance as the Doctor (and yes I know about the big finish audio plays). If you haven’t seen it and plan to watch The Day of the Doctor, then I suggest you watch this
I am also going to watch Curse of the Fatal Death. If you haven’t see that, you really should. You can find the official version here
According to those who count things, McGann has held onto the mantel the longest in terms of total time before the pass off (regeneration). Tom Baker still has the most episodes (screen time). Longest companion (most screen time) would go to Sarah Jane. Most used villain would be the Daleks.
I am sorry that we will never see the Doctor (John Hurt) verses the Master (Derek Jacobi). Tell me that would not be the ultimate in Master/Doctor banter.
I have managed to stay spoiler free except John Hurt’s costume, which I researched for his puppet. I am glad that we are all watching it at the same time because then I can comment and read comments because we are all on the same page (well minute).
Tomorrow I will probably do a New Who Review for the Day of the Doctor.
Doctor Who has given me hours of entertainment, a slew of friends, and some interesting professional opportunities. It is a touchstone for me. I like a lot of different fandoms but in my heart of hearts I am a Whovian.
I am grateful that we are watching the show at the same airtime as they are in England.
