Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who’s Day roundup, a Gallifreyan grab-bag of stuff, nonsense and Whovian fan creativity across the last seven days on social media and the internet. This week, there are a great many anniversaries to note and celebrate, starting with the 50th birthday of the Tenth Doctor himself, David Tennant. FIFTY, though! […]
Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who’s Day roundup, an enormous pair of arms around fandom’s greatest creations over the last seven days on social media, with a smattering of news and Whovian gossip to spice things up.

Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who’s Day roundup, a seasonal swipe across the last week in Whovian social media creativity. And we begin this week with a celebration of Matt Smith’s TARDIS tenure.
