Doctor Who Fanclub!

[Schuyler]

Is anyone else doing something special today for Doctor Who's 53rd anniversary? I'm going to rewatch "An Unearthly Child" and my favorite story, "Midnight", tonight. :)

Is the anniversary today? I did not know that. XD (Actually, it was yesterday for me. XD)
Probably won't do anything. Might continue watching some classic stuff, maybe work on some Gallifryan.

Oh yeah! I've been learning Gallifryan. I also made some psychic paper, might get a picture up later. if i can be bothered

[Schuyler]

Oh, cool! ^^

One more thing I'd like to do if I have the time is to finish "The Smugglers". It and "Marco Polo" are the only stories I haven't watched ... "watched" yet, so that would be a great way to wrap up the day, I think. I would do "Marco", but I'm being a stubborn optimist and holding out on it in the hopes of the episodes being found someday so my first experience of the story can be actually watching it. Out of all the missing stories, "Marco" was the one with the most prints made, so there is actually reasonable cause to believe it's still out there somewhere, if it hasn't been found already and just not announced yet. Honestly, with 63 single episode prints having been made (nine copies of the seven-part story), it's a wonder nothing at all is known to have been found yet when other stories that had far fewer copies made still exist in their entirety!



On the topic of missing episodes, have any of you seen or are planning to see the "Power of the Daleks" animation? (If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, they've made an animated version of "Power of the Daleks", Patrick Troughton's first story, to celebrate this being its 50th anniversary year. It's currently available to download for UK residents through the BBC Store, was shown in US cinemas on November 14th, and is airing on BBC America. It's a big deal because it's the first time they've ever animated a full missing story -- the only ones so far with official animations have been stories with at least half of the episodes found -- and while sadly it's a sure sign that they haven't been able to find any existing episodes of "Power" yet if they went ahead and commissioned an animation, it does mean that more missing stories may be animated in the future if this one is well-received. c:)

I really want to watch it, but I haven't had the chance yet. xP I'm not in the UK, I couldn't see it in the theater because there wasn't a showing near enough for me to get to, and I can't see it on BBC America because I don't have cable, so I get to wait for the DVD: I'm planning to get the Barnes & Noble exclusive one that's coming out in January because it has both black & white and color versions.

I really wanted to watch Power of the Daleks, but unfortunately it only showed once in my town, and I was busy when it showed. It was really disappointing... Hopefully it'll go online eventually.

Warning: Image-Heavy Post Ahead

Hello y'all! My birthday is about a week before Christmas, and I just realized that I never showed y'all what I got! I got several things for Christmas and my birthday. I got two Pop Funkos (Mr. Clever and the 10th Doctor), a TARDIS-themed travel mirror, a stopwatch (DW-inspired), and the complete ninth series of Doctor Who. (I also included a picture of all of my DW Pop Funkos, as I realized I never showed y'all before what they looked like.)










So, did y'all get anything DW-related for the holidays?

What Doctor Who stuff did you get for the holidays?

What Doctor Who stuff did you get for the holidays?
Well, I didn't get anything for Christmas, but for my birthday in November I got 11's sonic screwdriver, which was pretty cool! And I also got my friend, who got me into Doctor Who, a fob watch and she seemed to like that a lot.

What Doctor Who stuff did you get for the holidays?
My mom bought me Tennant's Complete Specials and "Enemy of the World", and I got some money that I used to buy "Power of the Daleks" on iTunes and the complete Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood Series 1-3 on DVD. :) Those are shipping from across the pond, though, so it'll be a little while before I get them.



And although it's not really DW-related, I have to mention that I bought a couple of John Barrowman's CDs with my Christmas money, too! ^^

Welcome, StarPenguin! Of course you can join the discussion any time. Never too late! :) If you have any topic you want to discuss or questions you want to ask, go right ahead! This thread could always use a boost to keep it active, heh.

How did you discover Doctor Who and where did you start (ie. Was the 10th Doctor your first, or did you start with someone else?) Did you happen to see it on TV and thought it looked interesting, or did you learn about it a different way?
