Countdown to Doctor Who!

If you don't know what tomorrow is, then I sort of pity you because it's the broadcast of Day of the Doctor! Doctor Who is 50 years old this year and there's been lots of good things going on, including last night's broadcast of An Adventure in Space and Time, Mark Gatiss's docudrama about the creation of the show back in 1963. It was amazing and will be on BBC America tonight for those who want to get a look at what goes into making a television program, especially one that has lasted 50 years. And Mark's husband, Ian Hallard makes a nice cameo, which is always fun to see. Here's the trailer for that:


Tomorrow is the Day of the Doctor on BBC America and that's going to be a lot of fun, since we are still not 100% certain as to which of the former Doctor's will be in the program. I know I'll be watching! Here's the trailer:

Some people think you are crabby and difficult to get close to. They may have a point, but what they see as rudeness is just you being careful with the friends you pick.

You have incredibly high standards, but once someone has proven themselves to be worthy of your attention you’ll pull an entire planet apart for them. And rescue them in the event of a Dalek attack.

Also, woe betide anyone that thinks you are frail or weak. There’s a spark in your eyes that could become a raging fire.
