'Doctor Who’s Day Roundup: Russian Revolution
Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who’s day roundup, a seasonal slice of Gallifreyan trifle, layered up with all the best news, fan creativity and daftness across the last week in social media.
And, despite this being the week in which the Doctor escaped from prison, welcomed back Captain Jack Harkness, and said goodbye to some old friends AND enemies (more on this later, so watch out for spoilers), we begin this week with a startling display of unexpected fan creativity.
To celebrate the new year, a gang of Russian Doctor Who superfans called the Soyuz Russian Doctor Who Outpost created this lip sync video, which features a LOT of tremendous cosplay. See how many Doctors, Masters and companions you can spot, while learning the delightful ditty “The New Year Song (5 minutes)” by Ludmila Gurchenko.
Frankly we got as far as Missy before collapsing into giggles at the wonder of international fandom.
