Just for kicks I looked it up and for the 50th anniversary, which will be in 2013, November 23 actually falls on a Saturday! So I think ever fan on that day should watch episode 1 of An Unearthly Child at 5:15. I know its a little bit down the road but I see a perfect opprotunity for a WHO PARTY.

Sign me up for the party, lol!

That clipping is fabulous - I noticed that at 12noon that day they were showing something about Relativity….seems rather appropriate as a ‘primer’ for the adventures later that day through space and time!

Although the caption is cut off, it’s interesting that right next to the Dr. Who listing is something referencing The Avengers—which was, of course, also created by Sydney Newman!

It’s a cartoon referencing that night’s episode of The Avengers, “The Medicine Men” (with Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman) which aired on ITV a few hours after Doctor Who debuted on the BBC
