Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special

The Day of The Doctor

For the first time in the history of Doctor Who, the highly anticipated Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special, titled The Day of The Doctor, gets a global simulcast, meaning the whole world witnessed the most exciting day any Whovian would be blessed for. Matt Smith as The Eleventh Doctor, David Tennant as The Tenth Doctor, Jenna Coleman as Clara, and Billie Piper as Rose were on the TV special as well as the special participation of veteran actor John Hurt as the mysterious War Doctor. You may remember him at the end of Series 7 but anyway, the other Doctor, 400 years ago, finally makes an appearance in the special.

The most exciting part of the special is the "Gallifrey Stands" scene where the three Doctors trying to communicate with the Time Lords from Gallifrey as they'll use their TARDISes to freeze Gallifrey in a single moment of time. What surprised in this scene is the surprise teaser of the next Doctor, Peter Capaldi. Yes, really. A surprise teaser of the next Doctor who's going to replace Matt Smith on Christmas!

Another big surprise is the surprise appearance of former Doctor Who lead actor, Tom Baker, who played as the curator of the museum The Doctor and Clara are in. Surprises, surprises. How this special ended? When all the Doctors showed up at the ending! Quote?

At last I know where I’m going…Where I’ve always been going…Home.

Classic Doctors in the 50th? Check!

Tom Baker in the special? Yes.

Peter Capaldi? Surprise teaser.

But still, the 50th special, which is now the world's trending topic in the minds of Whovians, serves as the ultimate DW experience ever witnessed. The alien shape-shifting Zygons does add some dramatic touch, though.

In case we're in a middle of watching the TV special, the BBC posted another one of Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special about what if former Doctor Whos Peter Davidson, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, and Paul McGann wanted to reboot The Five Doctors special. It's worth humorous for this web exclusive clip but still as what Jenna Coleman said...

"You will always my favorite..."

You guys are too late for that but still, happy 50th anyway.

Also, the actor who played The War Doctor, John Hurt, tweeted from his official Twitter @WithJohnHurt:

"Had a lovely time @BFI with The Doctor @bbcdoctorwho #DayoftheDoctor #savetheday #DoctorWho #DoctorWho50th pic.twitter.com/RfIOFtCrJb"

In case you missed it, Ten and Eleven, Matt Smith and David Tennant, guest starred in The Graham Norton Show.



In a totally irrelevant way, while in the middle of DW50th viewing, BBC posted a teaser video of the next season of SHERLOCK with the hashtag #SherlockLives. SHERLOCK LIVES!



And now, the teaser of the upcoming 2013 Christmas Special, the Eleventh Doctor's final journey. Silence will fall...



I'm very glad to say that the 50th Anniversary special is probably the best Doctor Who adventure I have ever witnessed. A global simulcast, is this what the whole Whovian community worldwide wanted to experience it first-hand? Might be silly but it's for the greater purposes. I have to thank my family because if I haven't watched this once-in-a-lifetime DW moment, I don't know what's gonna happen to me but since I watched it, I will savor this moment...forever. (sigh)

But now, the fall of the Eleventh Doctor...is this Christmas. Rest now Whovians. Christmas Day beckons you...and the feels will begin again.

Silence will fall...
