It's six months younger than me. This isn't an anniversary I've been looking forward to.

Hey...at least you get you Star Trek Into Darkness as a 50th Birthday Present

I don't let the number bother me, age is all in your head

Well it's not quite the 23rd yet. Still a little over 90mins until it's the 23rd UTC.

You forgot the two big screen movies starring Peter Cushing.

You guys are so stuck in the past. Been the 23rd here for 15 hours. It also means it's 24 years since the world premiere of Silver Nemesis, right here in NZ.

No I remembered them, just opted not to put them in, just like various spin offs.

American here (Still the 22nd here). Watching The Three Doctors now. Up next is The Five Doctors and then Silver Nemesis and Zagreus. These are the only Anniversary Specials I can think of in Film and Audio. Have I missed any?

Video - Two Doctors (how could you forget that?)
Audio - the Four Doctors

Happy Birthday, Doctor. This time, you can't lie about your age.

auntiehill · November 23 2012, 04:57 AM

Happy Birthday, Doctor. I hope we watch you for another 49 years.

The Three Doctors was the tenth anniversary, The Five Doctors the twentieth and Silver Nemesis the twenty fifth.

The Two Doctors was merely a guest appearance by Troughton and Hines. It wasn't done on an anniversary.

I've just started (re)watching "An Unearthly Child". It seems the most sensible choice for this particular day.

Doctor Who - classic Who - was my introduction to TV SF. I couldn't possibly have done any better.
