Every year I mark the occasion of 23rd November with something Doctor Who-related.
The show began broadcasting on this date back in 1963. I’ve been marking the anniversary in one way or another almost as long as I can remember – certainly since my early teenage years. I’m not remotely kidding when I say that the date has more significance to me than any other cultural calendar event (though I do put a bit more effort into Christmas, because of the food involved!)
This year it will probably be a rewatch of ‘Heaven Sent‘ (aka that really good one from last year with Peter Capaldi talking to himself for an hour). And if I have time, I’ll probably throw in his anti-war rant from ‘The Zygon Inversion‘. [1]
“Do you know what thinking is? It’s just a fancy word for changing your mind.”
It feels timely.
