    Default How should WE be celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who?

    I seem to remember a thread talking about how THEY (the BBC) should celebrate Doctor Who, but I was wondering, how should WE be celebrating it. And by "we" here I mean both as a forum, and more informally.

    Is there any special Who event you're planning? Is there something you're planning to do (maybe digging out some DVDs).



    I mentioned on another thread, and I'm going to mention it now (we've got months yet), but I would be keen on trying to put together an electronic book of short stories from Planet Skaro to mark the event. I've experience through my Software Testing books putting such things together, and my time working as an editor on Testing Planet, I think I'm able to step up to this.

    Is anyone interested?

    [Seems an age since I actually started a thread here as well]

    With a great big party?

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    I know what I'm doing for 2013

    Seriously, if you get a book of short stories together, I'll let you have one - if you'd like it.

    Absolutely! It will have to be a whopper. Would be great if we could hire a venue just for us - we could all collectively supply the music :-) We'd have to have a quiz too. You know what I'm like ;-) And cake. Lots of cake. And cocktails.

    We could hire a DJ and make him play all the Doctor Who related hits.

    The only trouble is we won't know until fairly late in the day what's planned to be on TV that evening so that might hamper any get together unless we incorporate that.

    We could go for the weekend before, or go for THE weekend and hope our Sky boxes, TiVo etc don't play silly buggers. There's always the iPlayer I suppose!

    Cake should definitely be involved somewhere.

    Great - I might set up another thread for that. I'd better get some of the admins permission first though.

    I fancy street parties up and down the UK - sometime in the summer, so we can enjoy the weather and with the day off for everyone!
