My dd loves Dr. Who!  Last year for Christmas she wanted all Dr. Who merchandise so she got a My Other Car is a TARDIS license plate and a TARDIS cookie jar and a bunch of other TARDIS blue stuff.  She’s a seminary student and has written several blog posts about Dr. Who episodes and the Bible.

I watched the old Dr. Who shows when I was a kid…many years ago in a galaxy far far away.  I didn’t like it much. The acting was poor and the dialogue was corny. But she got me hooked on the new shows and have been watching them so I can discuss them with her on the phone when she calls.  We speak in show quotes and movie lines so this is one of our sources.  lol

She’s been looking forward to today for many months now.  It’s The Day of the Doctor…the 50th anniversary special.  They will be showing a marathon of Dr. Who shows and then the special today.  She and I have blocked out the day to spend having fun and making memories as we learn what happened in between the old and new shows.

It’s great fun to have a show so rich in content that you can use it as a spring board to discuss world issues and social justice.
