This final shot could probably be done better today, (maybe with actual moving footage of the faces superimposed instead of photos?) but what the hell, well done Moff. 👏
Right Russell, get someone to hold your beer… 😀 #DoctorWho
But also how, in BTTF, after George punches Biff the last fifteen minutes or so are a series of victories, of punch-the-air moments to make the audience cheer. Same here with everything after the Doctors decide *not* to destroy Gallifrey. #DoctorWho
More than once this reminds me of Back To The Future (which gets a namecheck) as that script is famously tightly-plotted with every part, every line, linking to or setting something up for later.
Kate’s plan to nuke London to save the Earth of course mirrors the War Doctor’s use of The Moment, and scanning the door with the sonic sets up the resolution of the whole story. #DoctorWho
To be perfectly honest, Tennant is *slightly* surplus to requirements. You could write a version of this with just 11 and War representing the Doctor from the Time War and where he is now. Ten is there because, hey, it’s an anniversary, so let’s get more Doctors in. #DoctorWho
God, John Hurt was brilliant, wasn’t he? At both the comedy of taking the piss out of the others and the melancholy, world-weary material.
I’m a sucker for stories of redemption arcs, historical wrongs being righted etc. so the War Doctor’s story is right up my alley. #DoctorWho
Day Of The Doctor: right, here we go. The big one. 🙂
Ten years on, this still holds up as a fantastic achievement by Moffat. Season 7 was a bit iffy, so there was some slight trepidation heading into the 50th, but fair play, he pulled it off spectacularly. #DoctorWho
pero hemos retomado #DoctorWho, y me ha encantado el regreso de Jack Harkness y la presentación del Master ❤️ (me he quedado con el cliffhanger porque @Savior1980 tiene que volver a currar 🫠, yo en breve me pongo con la #siestadelosviernes)
Hear me out.
Lesley-Ann Brandt (Mazikeen from Lucifer) for the next Doctor Who.
I like my Doctors to be edgy (it's why I didn't much enjoy Jodie's run) and Mazikeen is certainly that. 😈
Quick question for knowledgeable #DoctorWho fans. Where does the term "Land of Fiction" come from? It isn't in the script of the #MindRobber (http://chakoteya.net/DoctorWho/6-2.htm) or in the text of the novelization (although it is on the back cover blurb).
@nicbest You're not fooling me. That there is a bunch of Ogri.
My #Barcelona apartment has both an enclosed interior terrace with two doors out to it & a large front balcony overlooking the street.
The different bits of Outside don't connect up & I'm pretty sure my little guy thinks we live in Castrovalva - he keeps asking me to open both doors and then running through the terrace and looping round a few times. #CatsOfMastodon (Not remotely sorry for the #DoctorWho deep cut either).
MOMENT. ES GIBT EINEN TRAILER ZUM 60TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL AND NOBODY TELLS ME ABOUT IT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEkC6InjWQ8
#doctorwho
@DWUDatabase At the time it was reported as having been done in error. It was the first one to have missing episodes recreated in animation and they simply made a mess up.
Twenty years ago The Second Coming was the first place we turned for an indication of what Russell T Davies' revival of #DoctorWho might end up looking and feeling like; two decades on, does it still hold up?

Real time footage of me cryogenically freezing myself for six weeks until #DoctorWho returns.
Half way through the latest episode of the #DoctorWho 60th anniversary story, #OnceAndFuture, Martian Invasion, and it’s amazing!! So much fun. David Tennant on top form as the Doctor. Gomez’ Missy typically insane and great fun. Great story!
In addition to being the second actor to play Dumbledore in the #HarryPotter films, #MichaelGambon also guest-starred in the 2010 #DoctorWho Christmas special titled "A Christmas Carol", a loose adaptation of the Charles Dickens story of the same name.
In the special, Gambon plays Kazran Sardick, the "Scrooge" of the story, as well as Kazran's father Elliot.
The concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on 15th October, and will be available on BBC Sounds after that.
Well that was amazing! And we got some teasers for the upcoming series too.... #DoctorWho #DrWho #doctorwho60thanniversary

New episodes of "Doctor Who" will start streaming worldwide in November. The BBC has this two-minute guide to catch you up on 60 years of history, from where Gallifrey is located to what a Dalek is. Unfortunately, even they can't explain why all the recent Doctors have ended up wearing a fez.
The 60th anniversary of "Doctor Who" is coming soon! But today we can #ThrowBackThursday to epic weekend at the first Pandoracon in Cincinnati , OH when we staged a trilogy of parody plays involving the bumbling time-traveler and commedia dell'arte including "Dottore Who & the Zealous Ones"! #TBT

Recently finished a rewatch of Snakedance and after going in with my 'it's fine but nothing special' head on, came out the other side realising it's a wonderful story with brilliant performance - seriously, Martin Clunes is pitch perfect and this was his first TV role. The world building is engaging and it all looks wonderful even with the studio limitations.
And then I watched the deleted final scene and found myself watching brand new Doctor Who I didn't even know existed!
I hope Doctor Who Magazine has a tribute article dedicated to Sir Michael Gambon. I know he was only in one episode, but The Christmas Carol is an utter classic largely in part due to Sir Michael Gambon as Kazran Sardick.
#DoctorWho
Trivia question shamelessly stolen from a note on tardis.fandom.com:
Which actors have played more than one incarnation of the Doctor (from #DoctorWho) on British TV? Non-canon counts.
(There are at least six who have played the canonical Doctor, and at least two who haven't.)
I love how the Master is wearing all this ceremonial garb in The Daemons serial...except the Theban script on his sash just translates to, "MASTER." 😂
I enjoy the buildup to Clara’s leap into the Doctor’s timeline, but the implication of it, how she’s then saved him in every previous adventure, is a bit much.
It’s the start of Moffat trying to make us see her as the most important person in the entire history of #DoctorWho…🙄
Looking back at the superb animation on the two missing episodes of "The Moonbase," I'm sad that the BBC weren't able (or willing) to fund more work from Planet 55 on Troughton's lost episodes. It seems that his is a face that is difficult to get just right, as evidenced by the weird, smiling-when-he-shouldn't-be version used for the missing episodes of "The Faceless Ones." #DoctorWho
The Whispermen are another great creation that could’ve potentially returned. I like the jumpscare when one of them bursts through the phantom of River.
Another creepy nursery rhyme though. The whole universe seems to have been constantly singing about Eleven’s fate. #DoctorWho
That was what they said; either you were dead or you had gone to Birmingham.
— Ange, in “Survival”
Is it just me or is so much of season 7b perpetually dark and gloomy with blue lighting? Switch the lights on Moff! #DoctorWho
Plus I want to know what that missing adventure was that had the second and the eighth Doctors running around Miami (or wherever it was) together. #DoctorWho
The Name Of The Doctor: not the best finale, but the buildup to the 50th starts here, with that completely unexpected opening. I can forgive the slightly shonky FX work necessary to splice in the old footage.
And seeing this moment elicited quite a gasp… #DoctorWho
Am in the Wales Millennium Centre for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary concert. Live long and prosper, Frodo!

I need some more Eighth Doctor quotes, mostly from #BigFinish, please reply with your favourite quotes! #DoctorWho
#StevenMoffat: "Of course I'm interested in what Russell does with #DoctorWho. That doesn't mean I'm dashing off to Cardiff on the train tomorrow... Unless I am."
THIS has me excited, even if it should not turn out be anything. But just the thought of Moffat returning as writer of an episode or two is EXHILARATING!!!
Celebrating the Eighth Doctor this week, as it’s only 8 weeks to the 60th anniversary! #DoctorWho

Come on, what a slow week.
So excited for the behind-the-scenes show Doctor Who: Unleashed!
I absolutely loved Doctor Who Confidential and am glad they are bringing back this format for a new generation of Whovians!

Time to step behind the scenes! DOCTOR WHO: UNLEASHED lands on BBC Three and iPlayer this November. #DoctorWho
https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/coming-to-bbc-three-doctor-who-unleashed
The implication that Porridge, as Emperor, was the one forced to destroy an entire galaxy to defeat the Cyberman foreshadows Day Of The Doctor. Though with that story in mind, it’s strange the Doctor seems so eager for him to do it again and blow up the planet here. #DoctorWho
The problem with giving the Cybermen all these new superpowers (running as fast as the Flash and having detachable body parts and so on) is that they couldn’t keep that up in all subsequent appearances as they’d be impossible to defeat. And so of course they didn’t. #DoctorWho
Still, it was nice of Moffat to give teenage Chris Chibnall from 1986 a small role. #DoctorWho
The presence of the kids leads to one of the stupidest moments ever in #DoctorWho - Angie, being carried off by a Cyberman, when she should be screaming in mortal terror, turns into Harry Enfield’s ‘Kevin the teenager’ and comes out with a bored-sounding “I hate you!”. FFS. 🙄
Nightmare In Silver: also known as ‘the other one Neil Gaiman did that wasn’t as good as The Doctor’s Wife’. The elements just didn’t gel together as well on this, did they? Rewrites and production problems apparently. Plus the addition of the two kids doesn’t help. #DoctorWho

Diana Rigg is deliciously evil and having a ball as Mrs Gillyflower. An actual, proper, gloating villain! Who’s… doing evil shit just for the hell of it. A rare treat in this era. #DoctorWho
Strax also gets some of the best lines:”I’m going outside to play with my grenades!”
Was Moffat planning some kind of Paternoster gang spin-off? As this seems almost like a back door pilot for the first half. #DoctorWho
I love the mortician guy who keeps saying the episode title with relish: “Thuh Crimmzun ‘Orror!” #DoctorWho
