Doctor Who Day 2022
Today is #DoctorWhoDay, the 59th anniversary of the greatest show in the universe!
I can think of nothing better to say about this show and how it has affected me than to quote Steven Moffat:
“When they made this particular hero, they didn’t give him a gun, they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn’t give him a tank or a warship or an X-wing fighter, they gave him a call box from which you can call for help. And they didn’t give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat ray, they gave him an extra heart. They gave him two hearts. And that’s an extraordinary thing; there will never come a time when we don’t need a hero like the Doctor.”
What does #DoctorWho mean to you?
For me personally this show has been my obsession ever since I first watched it when it returned in 2005. Since then I have watched every episode that ever aired, in order. Even the missing ones (I watched reconstructions).
I’ve read many books (fiction and non-fiction), listened to amazing Big Finish audio adventures, bought toys, been to see The Doctor Who Experience and some live theatre productions. I tried to see Time Fracture but it got cancelled on me twice, once due to flooding and once because they finished it early.
I have re-watched modern who, and all it’s spin offs, more times than I can count. I can remember many episodes word for word.
I’m not saying I’m the most dedicated fan, or the most knowledgeable, this isn’t a brag but just to say that this show is my life.
Thank you to everyone involved with the show, for creating such a masterpiece, and may it continue forever and ever ❤️❤️
