Hmm. Maybe we should make tomorrow another Doctor Who Day.

… with it being the Season 7 finale and all.

Last time we did Doctor Who Day we decided to do whatever we wanted. We shared Sonic Sunday pics on a Saturday, and dreamed up alt Doctor x Companion crossovers….

Looking back even further, we’ve done 30 day memes, alternate universe Doctor Who memes, scavenger hunts, Tee Tuesdays, we’ve asked you to help us eat cookies, we’ve done Whovian Wednesdays, Fan Art Fridays, we’ve even hidden contests inside of other posts…

So what should we do tomorrow? More of the same? Something new?

expelliarmus:

My mom’s actual graduation cap from this weekend because I have the coolest mom on the planet in the universe.

bbcamerica:

We understand that a small number of US fans have received in error their DVD edition of Series 7 Part 2 early. We respectfully ask those fans not to divulge information or post content publicly so that fellow fans who have yet to see the episodes do not have their viewing pleasure ruined.

If everyone keeps the secrets safe until next Saturday we will release a special new clip featuring material of the Tenth AND Eleventh Doctor!

Hah ha!

This is your Saturday announcement that we will be livetumblring tonight’s 8pm ET BBC America Premiere of Doctor Who: Nightmare in Silver.

We’ll be online from 8/7c until the end of the broadcast to reblog your gifs and fan art and reactions off of the ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Nightmare in Silver’ tags on Tumblr.

For those of you who have never been to a livetumblring before, it’s where we post moments from the episode to the blog just as they’re happening on the broadcast.

And this may seem like a lot to deal with but because we’re livetumblring in real time — there is no way for us to avoid posting spoilers.

If you’re going to be liveposting be sure to tag your posts ‘spoilers’. We’ll be using the tags ‘spoilers’ ‘dw spoilers’ and ‘Nightmare in Silver’.If you can’t watch the episode until later this weekend, you can avoid spoilers by installing Tumblr Savior for your browser.

If you’re using the Tumblr mobile app or if the Tumblr Savior stuff seems alien to you, you should consider refollowing us after unfollowing us until after you watch the episode.

After the episode, stay tuned for a new episode of Orphan Black on BBC America and Space Channel at 9p EDT. Tatiana Maslany is kind of amazing in it. We’re kind of obsessed with her. So is Emma Roberts.

And at 10p on BBC America, it’s Space Week on The Nerdist so Chris Hardwick’s guests include astronaut Buzz Aldrin(!) and cute Mars Rover Mohawk guy NASA Systems Engineer Bobak Ferdowsi(!).

Meanwhile, we will be posting behind the scenes clips and production galleries of today’s show along with the prequel to next week’s season finale, The Name of The Doctor.

In the meantime, we want your autograph for our wall at the Doctor Who Tumblr office at BBC America...

Make us a fan sign, some fan art, a selfie with your Tumblr url. Post it to your blog. Submit it through this form. We’re collecting all of them through the end of next weekend and then we’re going to make a poster out of it for everyone to see whenever they come through the New York office of BBC America — Doctor Who cast, crew, writers, the BBC America staff, and us! WITH ALL OF YOUR GIFS AND ART AND COSPLAY AND EVERYTHING — YOU ARE THE STARS OF THE DOCTOR WHO TUMBLR.

 

So yeah. (This post feels really long today.) We’re going to go try to avoid our dashboard for the next few hours while the UK gets through their broadcast of Nightmare of Silver. Have a good day and see you at 8/7c for tonight’s all new episode of Doctor Who!

If I ever played the Doctor, all I would do on my days off is get into costume and run around London looking worried.

Hellooooooo Tumblrhenge!! It’s us again!

The Doctor Who Fan Orchestra are proud to present their seventh collaboration: “Amy’s Suite”.

The suite contains the following themes: “Little Amy”, “The Blush of Love”, “Amy’s Theme”, “Together” and “Amy Reprise (Two Years)” — all composed by Murray Gold. The latter two themes (from “The Angels Take Manhattan” and “The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe”) have not yet been officially released on a soundtrack, and have therefore been given unofficial titles.

The Doctor Who Fan Orchestra invites musical fans of Doctor Who to take part in an online collaborative celebration of Murray Gold’s music. Participants submitted recordings for this work from March to April 2013.

This final mix includes 444 submissions from 292 individual participants, ranging in age from 10 to 81, and who are located in at least 26 different countries across the world.

The DWFO will take a short break, returning later in 2013 with the “50th Anniversary Suite”. We will advertise extensively nearer the time.

For more, please visit the DWFO Youtube Channel.

Australia’s first Doctor Who pop-up shop opens

via DoctorWho.tv:

Australia’s first Doctor Who pop-up shop has opened its doors at 7 Wilson Street, Newtown, Sydney.

See a gallery of pictures from opening night, below, and find shop location and opening times here.

During our last contest giving away our autographed poster from Doctor Who, many of you sent us messages of concern that we were giving up our favorite part of the Doctor Who Tumblr office.

That was so cool and sweet and completely unexpected.

And it got us thinking — what could we put in its place?

And that’s when we realized… we want a new set of autographs. YOUR autographs.

Make a fan sign, a new piece of fan art, a selfie with your sonic, with your TARDIS, with your friends, in cosplay, not in cosplay — whatever you want with your Tumblr url (and a short message if you’d like.)

Post it to your blog using the tag ‘the doctor who tumblr asked for my autograph’.

And just to make sure that we receive your post, you can also submit it through this form: http://bit.ly/15RHIXe

We’re going to grab the images off of this tag (one per blog) and use them to create a ginormous poster that we’ll put on our wall.

A few tips: keep your message short, use a thick marker or crayon to ensure that it shows up when printed (we think each image will be about the size of a 3x5 index card), and use good lighting so that we can see your face (a simple desk or table lamp should do.)

We anticipate being able to assemble and print this out the weekend of the Doctor Who Series 7 finale but we may push that deadline back if there’s good reason to.

We want EVERYBODY who works on the show who walks through the doors of BBC America to see how much love there is for this show and for this fandom.

And thank you!!! We can’t wait to see our new poster!!!

Congrats to mangostarburst for winning our autographed poster from Doctor Who: The Snowmen!

Congrats to mangostarburst for winning our autographed poster from Doctor Who: The Snowmen!

So we held a contest this past weekend to give away the centerpiece of the Doctor Who Tumblr office at BBC America: our poster from ‘The Snowmen’ autographed by Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman, Steven Moffat, and Caro Skinner.

To enter, you had to go out and do something nice for somebody. Nothing about ‘Doctor Who,’ nothing about following or promoing our blog, just something… nice.

After collecting hundreds of posts on Friday and Saturday, the winning post was chosen at random and we finally got confirmation yesterday!

mangostarburst:

Last weekend during my volunteer at the hospital, I was going through the hospital rooms giving out the patient menus for the next day. I got to this one room and inside was this elderly lady. She looked like she was struggling to open something. 

Turns out she was trying to open her fancy lipstick container but couldn’t because she was shaking so badly. So I opened her lipstick and started to talk with her. 

She was so excited because her “one true love” was going to visit her. But she was also so nervous because they couldn’t be together for reasons she did not want to say. Not to mention she was a shaking mess in her hospital bed. 

So I just sat next to her and talked to her for a good 30 minutes before I was called back to the volunteer lounge. But the lady said I was the only person to talk and listen to her that intently. This is why I love volunteering so much¬ making a difference while learning more about the world. ^-^

So congrats, mangostarburst!

While we’re sad to see our poster go, we’re glad it’ll have a home.
