The 23rd of November 2013.

The moment is almost upon us.

The day approaches.

Fifty glorious years leading to this.

The Day of the Doctor.

Tomorrow is……

*dramatic drum roll*

The Day of the Doctor

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.

Better get to bed. Then it will only be one more sleep!

Off to cinema to watch this is there any news of anything extra at the cinema screening

I was just about to make this thread, but apparently I've been beaten to it.
Anyway, I'll post this stuff:

Trailers:
BBC 1 Trailer
Extended Trailer
"50 Year" Trailer

Clips:
A Selection of short clips

Mini-episodes
Night of the Doctor
The Last Day

(Got my Jelly Babies and Fez at the ready. Can't wait! )

I'm so excited! Have the house to myself to watch it in peace. Pizza in the freezer, wine in the fridge and the dog will have a massive walk late afternoon so she'll sleep through it. Heaven!

1990-95, 1997-2004?? (And I would personally add 1986-1987, 2009-2013 (so far) to that list but this isn't the place to go over those arguments again! )

If you got work tomorrow and want it off give them this

And I'm not counting any time my TV was turned off, or anything that aired before I was born, either!

And you can't make me! Hummppphhh (grabbing suit jacket with both hands)

Lol, stop being such a pedant and enjoy yourself. Quibbling over dates is nonsense, it's 50 years since the first episode aired... That should be enough

The show didn't cease to exist during these periods, it was just off air. By that logic, last year wasn't the 50th anniversary of the Bond films, as films were only released 23 of those years, or the 125th anniversary of Sherlock Holmes, as Arthur Conan Doyle stopped writing them in 1927.

Well not true, it was actually on air between 2009-13...

I was referring to the bit outside the bracket.

Maybe what we should do is this: Add up all the lengths of the episodes and see precisely how much footage of Doctor Who has actually been on the Telly. Then however long the total length of every episode combined is can be the number anniversary this is.

I think he was trying to imply that he doesn't believe Doctor Who from 2009 to the present day can be counted for whatever reason...which is a totally ridiculous notion.

I know what he was trying to imply. I just didn't wish to acknowledge it

I assume it's because The Gatherer doesn't like it much from 2009 onwards.

If that's how we're rolling then I'd personally like to jettison the Hinchcliffe era.

If we're not counting the bits we don't like then I have a few years I think should be ditched too...

You've misunderstood my point. The original post said 50 "glorious" years. My response was that the years when the show was off air were not "glorious". I am not disputing that tomorrow is the 50th anniversary.

Another misunderstanding. How difficult is it to read a post and the response to it?

You obviously didn't.

Well if everyone else seems to have misunderstood then perhaps you should have put more thought into what you were writing.

Seems pretty clear to me. Just re-read post 8.

There is a school of thought that if ever there is a miscommunication then it is the fault of the person communicating the message rather than those who are receiving it.
