Geek News: Doctor Who 50th anniversary

For months, we have all been anticipating the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special.  There have been all kinds of suggestions for celebrating but we know one in particular that we can't wait for and that's the groundbreaking 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who.  This episode airs globally simultaneously on November 23rd on BBC and it is also in theaters on November 25th.  Everyone will get to see it Worldwide on the 29th of November so if your city is not participating in the showings on the 23rd or 25th you will still have the chance to catch it.  There are over 11 cities and 300 theaters participating nationwide in this anniversary special, and tickets are already available for purchase.  Don't wait until last minute because this is only in theaters on November 25th.  There is also a 3D showing so if you like the 3D movies we would suggest going to see it in 3D.  Doctor Who fans, watching it in the theatre will also give you some behind the scenes footage that you will not be able to see anywhere else.  This is going to be very popular so we would recommend getting your tickets now before the are gone.  Check your local listings, Fandango, or any online movie site to see what theaters are participating in your area. We also have some teasers for everyone that Stephen Moffatt revealed about the show and a preview that has already been released.  CAUTION: there may be a few spoilers since Moffat has given us all some juicy details about the special.  Even if you aren't a Doctor Who fan this is a geek must see.



BBC announced today that they are releasing another Doctor Who 50th Anniversary trailer on Saturday November 9th. We feel like we can't wait for the trailer to be released, let alone the 50th Anniversary special.  The minute tickets go on sale we plan on picking up some tickets. We love Doctor Who and feel like this has been years of anticipation instead of months for the 50th anniversary celebration. Fans across the globe have celebrated in their own way.  Some have petitioned to turn the empire state building blue, some are going all out and having a full on timelord party.  Regarless Doctor Who fans are stoked for the 50th anniversary.  Moffat revealed that this special would be very different from what we are normally use to with Doctor Who, that the focus may not be what we are expecting.  So far Moffat has revealed that there is an abrupt and awful disturbance in London's National gallery, a murderous plot that takes place in 1952, and somewhere in outer space there is a ancient battle with a tragic and shocking ending.   Moffat also revealed that the Doctors past comes back to haunt him.  We are thrilled for the 50th anniversary, to celebrate and watch the 50th anniversary special.  We can't wait to see David Tennant and Matt Smith in action together in an episode.  Also don't forget that there is the Doctor Who Prisoners of time comic book series that is made just for the 50th anniversary special.  This has been a series we have been enjoying and we are just as excited to see what the result is in the comic book series as we are in the anniversary special.  There are a series of 12 books, and since they are part of an anniversary special this is also a great collectors item. Either way don't miss the 50th anniversary special or the comic book series.




We have included the trailer that BBC one released already if you have not seen it, but don't miss another trailer this weekend with more exciting details when its released.  Please let us know what your plans are and how you plan to celebrate.  Please send us your pictures if you are celebrating in any way.  This year to celebrate, we are holding a contest and the best 50th anniversary Doctor Who picture will recieve $20 in merchandise of your choice.  Send us your Doctor Who pictures with your celebration and the fans pick the winner as usual.  Pictures are unlimited and the contest will run from November 23rd and the winner will be announced on December 15th, and the prize will be send out when the winner is announced.   This has to be Doctor Who related no other costumes or pictures will be accepted.  We currently have a standard costume contest for other costumes.  We will also be doing some Doctor Who trivia the week the special is released with some awesome Doctor Who prizes, be sure to stay tuned.
