‘Doctor Who’s Day Roundup: The Anniversary Special
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! That's a big one.
Oh, and some guy called Peter Capaldi had a birthday, too:
Wait, it’s this guy’s birthday, too? It’s almost as if they’re all… the… same… perso-OMG!
And amidst all of the celebrations, a somber note. It’s been ten years since Doctor Who fans lost Elisabeth Sladen, and Whovians have marked the event in their own emotional ways:
Here’s what else has been going on in space and time this week:
• The actual Ninth Doctor speaks! About Doctor Who! Like, NOWADAYS:
• This needlework is astonishing:
• There’s a new box set of Dalek trouble on the way:
• Oh hello! Original Torchwood is back:
• John Bishop is now officially allowed to say he’s a new companion to the Doctor, but not where he is from, OK?
• Handles takes to the stars:
• Jake Hyde’s Doctor Who title sequence is exceptionally trippy:
• Too big, you might say:
• Of course, we absolutely do not approve of this clip, debasing the fine, noble and clean speech of the Doctor Who cast with filthy innuendo. No, not one bit:
• Is this Dalek perhaps a bit too... cute?
• Mind you, this one is too...
• Missy looks hissy:
• Thirteen’s arrival is given the fan-art treatment:
• This Doctor Who credits sequence is all jittery and sharp, much like the Doctor herself:
• Thirteen and her rainbow trousers:
• What if they made a Doctor Who anime and it needed a theme tune? Eh?
• OR a 16-bit Sixth Doctor game? Has anyone got that covered?
• Rose and her heroes:
• Whoah! What the... what?
• Let’s finish this week on a musical note. This is definitely the moment where the Doctor Who Sings team have become giddy with their own success. Enjoy!
TTFN!
