Doctor Who Day
November 23 · Level 8 · #546 of 2238
Fans mark the anniversary of the first episode of the British series Doctor Who, which aired on the BBC on 23 November 1963. It follows a time traveller and a blue police box that is far bigger on the inside.
How it is celebrated: fans rewatch favourite episodes, wear long scarves and costumes of their favourite Doctors, go to themed screenings and host quiz nights.
The 50th anniversary special in 2013 was shown in 94 countries at the same time, which earned a Guinness World Record for the largest simulcast of a TV drama.
