Welcome to the Doctor Who‘s Day roundup, a huge glowing mass of fan-made creativity and Whovian news that bulged out of a week on the internet and social media.
And we begin this week with New York Comic-Con, a place of worship for fandoms of all shapes and colors. Peter Capaldi was there, representing Doctor Who for the final time as the current owner-occupier of the TARDIS, and to mark his appearance (in a very fetching David Bowie T-shirt), BBC America prepared this very special video to play, in which fans have one simple message for their Doctor. A heartfelt thank you:
Footage has also appeared of his entire solo panel, which you can see below (and there’s a full report on the Q&A here). Highlights include the strange way in which Peter found out Jodie Whittaker had got the part of the Doctor, and the place at which he gets his trousers:
Here’s what else has been going on in space and time this week:
• Impressionist Jon Culshaw reads Russell T Davies‘ poem Friend Ship:
• The Fourth Doctor in a tangle:

TTFN!
