Happy 49th birthday to Doctor Who!

"It all started out as a mild curiosity in a junkyard, and now it's turned out to be quite a great spirit of adventure."

49-3

Eleven faces, one Time Lord - hard to believe this show has existed for 49 years already and still going strong!

49-2

"A man is the sum of his memories - a Time Lord even more so."

Can't wait until next year! I wonder what's going on for the 50th anniversary.

I'm almost scared to wonder what Moffat has planned for the anniversary, because I'm not so keen on his narrative style - fingers crossed!

If nothing else, the golden anniversary year has some amazing DVD releases planned...

I know! We finally get Terror of the Zygons!

Woot! Happy Doctor Who day indeed! I wish I could be excited about the 50th anniversary special next year, but blech, Moffat...:/

Eh, I know what you mean, but such is life. Instead of worrying about that, I'm directing my energies toward being excited about the last few DVD releases - in particular Reign of Terror because they've animated the two missing episodes (including Ian in chains being roughed up for information), and Terror of the Zygons, which is going to have a director's cut of a deleted scene re-inserted into its proper place (never before seen footage of Four, Sarah and Harry!). May not sound exciting to anyone else, but I'm looking forward to it!

I can't believe it's 49 years! I don't think I even knew it was 49 years, and I would never have guessed... I did see that the RT has a very cool cover this week, and I nearly bought it because of that...

Yep, 49 years - heading for the big 50 next year!

Bit nervous about what Moffat might have planned for that...he's not the safest pair of hands fo have at the wheel for such a big occasion, but such is life!

Happy 49th birthday to the Doctor! It's fantastic that he's lasted the test of time.

Tumblr is a completely insane site, but worth navigating from time to time because it is the home of so much pretty!
