Happy Who-Day!
I hope you're all having an excellent one, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
I have basically opted out of normal life for the day. I started off by listening to the thing on Radio 4 Extra this morning, which was basically a compilation of shorter documentary bits about Who from over the past few years. The highlight was Mark Gatiss waxing enthusiastic about the oldschool Target books - had to laugh at the bit about the stock descriptions they used for each Doctor, because it was so true.
Then I re-watched the Culture Show special "Me, You and Doctor Who" that was on BBC Two last night, on the old iPlayer. I can't recommend it highly enough - highlight was possibly Ken Livingstone, of all people, discussing how the stories of the Pertwee era reflected the political landscape of early-70s Britain.
I did actually take a Who break to watch the football, which probably makes me disloyal or something, but then the postman brought my DVD of "The Enemy of the World", which I plan to watch again tomorrow. And then I started watching The Five Doctors, which is still on as I type.
And then I realised it's only just over two hours until the special and started getting the jitters...
