Happy Birthday to Who

Greetings everyone and welcome to a Whovian Friday at The Magical Mystery Blog.

Tomorrow is the day we’ve been waiting for. It is a day to make jammy dodgers, don a fez, and clutch our sonic screwdrivers. It is a day we have been waiting for over a year, when we last saw the 11th Doctor carrying an unconscious Clara as he faced an unknown Doctor. These past days, weeks, and months have given us sneak peeks to what’s in store for tomorrow. We’ve witnessed the return of the 10th Doctor, the revival of the Bad Wolf, and the mystery that is the John Hurt War Doctor. At 7:50 pm on BBC One tomorrow night, we will see everything come to fruition.

Below are some final spoilers that have been leaked before the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special is aired.


WARNING THE INFORMATION BELOW CONTAINS SPOILERS, SWEETIES. PLEASE REFRAIN YOUR EYES FROM GAZING ANY LOWER UNLESS YOU WISH TO SEE THE SPOILERS, THEN PLEASE READ ON.






The Return of Tom Baker

It was just revealed on November 19th, 2013 that Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor, will be appearing in the 50th Anniversary Special. This makes sense to me because of the fourth Doctor being involved with the Sisterhood of Karn and the twelve limit regeneration rule. Apparently Tom Baker knew all this time he would be a part of the special but was sworn to BBC and Moffat not to tell. Ah the power of Moffat, the strength to kill those we love, and to make the most memorable people swear to secrecy.


The Fall of Arcadia

On November 20th, the Internet was treated to this video clip. Arcadia was a university on Gallifrey specializing in training people to defend the planet. This video shows us what a soldier in training saw the day Daleks invaded Gallifrey. It also presented the training method of Gallifreyans, focusing around a helmet that supposedly causes hallucinations for the wearers. They are instructed to look past the hallucinations and focus on what they need to do. Apparently, Arcadia is the safest place on Gallifrey and has been referenced before in the episode "Doomsday" where the 10th Doctor tells his enemy of his survival. He claims to have fought on the front lines and witnessed the fall of Arcadia. 


Pre Show

America will be able to view the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special on BBC America at 7:50 pm. What happens before in those fifty minutes is something rather astounding. At 7 pm, there will be a pre show featuring various Youtube Channels such as Doctor Puppet, the Nerdist, and tons of others. It will be the first ever simulcast from Youtube Space LA. The pre show will be live and hosted by Veronica Belmot, the co host of the sci fi website The Sword and the Laser. For other counties, they will be treated to the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special at 2:50 with the pre show at 2 pm.



And so fellow readers, we wish the greatest science fiction series a Happy Birthday. Let us take up our sonic screwdrivers and ignite them to salute our fellow Doctor, as he takes a trip that will change his life.
