Fifty
years ago today, Doctor Who
aired its very first episode, “An Unearthly Child”. Today, the
legacy started by producer Verity Lambert and star William Hartnell
still continues stronger than ever. Today will see the airing of “The
Day of the Doctor” with Matt Smith, David Tennant, and John
Hurt—simulcast in 3D in over 80 countries and in selected cinemas
in those countries. As I sit here writing this, I am in utter awe.
Unfortunately,
I won’t be seeing “The Day of the Doctor” until the 25th
(couldn’t get tickets for today and I want my viewing in the
theatre to be my first viewing). That means I’ll be severely
limiting my internet access for the next couple of days in order to
stay away from the spoilers. However, I couldn’t let the day go by
without putting something up on the blog.
Enjoy
the special, everyone! Don’t forget about the docudrama, An
Adventure in Space and Time
either. It’s worth seeing (review to come soon). And if you’re
interested, check out my series of Doctor Who Reflections.
Fifty
years. Wow.
