'Doctor Who's Day Roundup: Epic Tales
Welcome to this week's Doctor Who's day, a colossal coming together of world-shaking Whovian creativity and inspiration from the last week in social media.
And this week, we begin, as we often do, with a fan-made video trailer for Doctor Who. This is a collection of clips, a whistlestop tour of some of the Doctor's finest (and least fine) moments, made by Kelvin Does Things. But what marks this particular compilation out for special treatment is that he has deliberately turned everything up to 11, to make Doctor Who not just gripping, emotional and thrilling, but truly EPIC:

And he's not the only one. THE WHOVIAN 1963 made this similarly cinematic trailer for "Dark Water" / "Death In Heaven" that is all booms and bangs and foreboding music:
