November 23 - Doctor Who Day

Today is #DoctorWhoDay (also known as #TardisDay among the cool kids). 57 years ago today, at exactly 5:15 pm, William Hartnell’s Doctor Prime hopped into his big blue police box for the first time.⁠

HOW TO CELEBRATE:⁠

• WATCH WITH YOUR FAMILY - Let everyone pick their favorite episodes, and then watch them together as a family.

• EAT LIKE A DOCTOR - You'll need more than just fish fingers and custard at your Doctor Who screening. You'll also need a bag of Jelly Babies (4th Doctor), "a pot of coffee and 12 Jammie Dodgers" (11th Doctor), a sprig of celery pinned to your label (5th Doctor), and "ALWAYS bring a banana to a party" (10th Doctor).⁠

• DRESS THE PART - Each Doctor had their own iconic wardrobe. It's up to you if you want to sport an oversized scarf, a fez and bowtie, 3D Glasses and Converse, or cropped trousers with suspenders!⁠
