Doctor Who Fiftieth anniversery

Well folks im late to the party , and no im not doing reviews just opinions 
wow what a November
A special program that i love the world of why i like the books and audios i can see it in my minds eye i don't need the TV visual, i grew tired of that long ago and let my mind wander on what could be

This for me was the crown jewel, a Adventure in Space and Time , it was a brief but awesome doc-drama on Dr who the early years,OK not 100% but damn fine for what it was ,i loved it and the portrayal of Hartnellplease say he will be back for a two doctors special

Props were ish aside from that all was good what a beautiful set reminds me of what Who has lost 
Then there was a BIG surprise 
this

The Night of the Doctor, popped up on the BBC iPlayer, within seconds hurling thousands of eagle-eyed viewers back into the Last Great Time War for the first time since The End of Time. There they’d meet a Doctor – but not the one that they were probably expecting… 
Surprised you betcha 
 With Paul McGann’s eighth Doctor having faded from public memory long ago, The Night of the Doctor is an unabashed birthday present for the series’ die-hard fans, who have supported McGann and his Big Finish employers and ,what happened to him , he proved again just how perfect he is for the role and Hurt is the true dr 9 all change then

Ostensibly the most incredible thing about this minisode is that it finally provides the eighth Doctor’s ardent following with the regeneration scene that they’ve waited more than fifteen years to see. To put this in perspective, you have to consider the sheer enormity of the eighth Doctor’s multimedia empire – his long-lived incarnation shouldered more of the responsibility for keeping the franchise alive during its wilderness years than any other. He enjoyed one of the most successful comic strip runs of any Doctor within the pages of Doctor Who Magazine, while concurrently propping up a groundbreaking, seventy-book strong series of paperbacks. He has now appeared in the equivalent of at least ten seasons’ worth of television stories in full-cast audio dramas, alongside actresses as renowned as Sheridan Smith and Ruth Bradley, and as loved as India Fisher. For Eight more than any other Doctor, the extra-curricular stuff is what really matters, though for all the classic Doctors now, it’s no longer a question of where the audios and books fit in around the televised stories – these days, telly’s just the bits in between though over a decade’s worth a true doctor if ever was one,more please
 and as for new look

LOVED it,messy hair  the whole musical theater old style costume ,the open shirt ,neck tie circa 17th Century his big coat and adventuring space boots ,brilliant, his sonic is back how great for all to see and new series raised people to see here is  someone else you don't know, its all about the layers and the history 

and 
i had my annual who meet and greet small amateur affair but

 Much enjoyed bar Collin, dr 6,he was more interested in his side business and making 10 to 20 pound off people,eg he had A4 prints and these can be bought in any photo shop for a pound he wanted 15 for matt 20 for gloss  ,show me the money behavior, twice let me down ,i paid of course and gave three items to which he exclaimed it is going to start getting expensive ,total let down again  , greedy and a has been remember who put you here 
then there was Louise Leela Jameson who is very much a actress and a delight , delightful Sophie (Ace) as always gorgeous woman pleasure to talk to and think id miss her if not there

 then down sowf had a remortgage your house expensive big shin dig and Dr who live with some camp nobody and i cant present zoe ball ,nice to see a gathering of all stars old and new paul was missing

 is it me or does McCoy look freaky scary here ?

another cover by me

Then anniversary itself if Moffet can write this good what the hell has the man been playing at last 4 years ?? this the World war 2 empty child episode  he can do ok  ,All i am going to say ,
the FX models and CGI were exquisite the TARDIS  props perfect (I wished they used the old 80s yardley jones prop for  Dr 8 mini episode the last join missing the old more detailed TARDIS  before the time war made it look like that)  and boy do i miss a weathered TARDIS the Ecclestone Tennant box was looking really worse for wear nice colour tho 
,the model work was sublime and superb 
I cant remember when i enjoyed sitting in front of the telly and watching dr who  so much

 what a fantastic console room for hurt how well it blends new and old ,as my friend pointed out in reality the small touring set of the then new console and the somewhere in time hartnell walls 
If this was what was on screen in 05 i doubt anyone would moan ,yes i and millions of others miss the round things
this again shows what we should,could  and didnt have 

making TARDIS models since 1986

 awesome models and miniatures unseen since the days of Thunderbirds,the Dalek explosion (Reality 18" Dalek toys) the flying squid brill, all from Mike BBC VFX Tucker, nice to see him back the man who helped give us the new bronze Daleks now doing model work
Made the TARDIS for the opening in Trial of a Timelord in 86  now  doing it again for the fiftieth

Then Again on red button was the five'ish Dr's the title itself a parody of the anniversary twentieth special and more in jokes for Toms absence there in 
Funny the Actors insecurity and the fan and play on BBC views on nothing happened before 2005 well written by Peter (Fifth Doctor ) Davison ,and really enjoyed a chuckle a minute and collin was even good in this and played himself well ,the inside the TARDIS scene was hilarious 
even roping in Hobbit stars Ian McKellin and big who fan Peter Jackson, these 3 doctors  have aged and i remember watching them on TV
 Paul did a good guest spot as well 

 of audio adventures.i bring you light at the end 
 over acted especially by McCoy surprisingly with his audio experience he was clearly just sat reading his lines Collin the same but he does like doing audios and can be good well its all hes got ,but McGann was superb Tom sadly is playing himself ,a paradoy of himself now which is weird

cover made by me as i didn't like original

  Then I got to meet Andrew Cartmell at the fringe festival yes the script editor of McCoy era and what a superb afternoon great guy very informative and nice pleasant and student like but nice to talk to and meet kind of hope he gets a brief to write for new who he has some awesome ideas 

so what a busy fiftieth it was and then i got to find cheap the anniversary re release of books the white ones so i got to sample and enjoy new book adventures  cheaply 
add to that fine food and drink there in think lies the anniversary

most pleased also with many props and costumes seen  i think this raised a bar and after remembering nothing for 25 years anniversary personally ,bar Dapol's set which i love,  yes im getting old,this has been a event
