Clever Marketing Gimick For "Day Of The Doctors"...

[Lord Jim]

BBC America has been running a round-the-clock Who-a-thon all week, and the new episode is going to air simultaneously in every market it's in all around the world...(11:50 tomorrow morning out here; definitely going to catch it.)

Worldwide time set for 'Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor'

If you're planning to throw a "Doctor Who" 50th anniversary party and you live on the West Coast, better plan on making it a lunch party. The worldwide time for the broadcast of "Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor" has been set and can be seen in the U.S. at 11:50 a.m. PST Nov. 23.

The BBC is taking the unusual step of airing the long-awaited team-up of current Doctor Matt Smith with previous Doctor David Tennant at the same time all over the world.

More than 75 countries will see the special at the same time, and in the U.S. it will also air in select movie theaters in 3-D.

That is a good idea. The young crowd can see Hunger Games 2 tonight, and the young at heart crowd can watch the new Who the next day, at least here.

I am SERIOUSLY excited about this!

I have never seen Dr. Who. "What?" you say, "Why would anyone miss it?" When all the rest of us watch? Where would I even begin to watch at this point....

[Crackpot]

How did you miss it?

[TPFKA@W]

Previous marketing not so clever?

Start with the 2005 reboot @W.

Stick with it, it will reward you in spades

Still mind-buggered by The Day of The Doctor, I squeeeee'd like a girl when there was a flash of 12 (Moff says we're sticking with the numbering and John Hurt is "The War Doctor").

I nearly passed out when Tom Baker showed up at the end as a future retired incarnation.

So much good stuff, I watched it twice last night and I will probably watch a couple more times before the big Christmas change-over episode.

Edited to add, Tennant. Still definitely would
