I
chose to stay at home to watch Saturday's episode of Doctor Who; I'll choose
pizza over popcorn any day. But many others elected to sit in a cinema full of
other fans, and pay to watch something they could have watched at home for
free. I imagine there were moments when cinemas across the country erupted in
cheers as they saw their old favourites grace the big screen.
Over
10 million UK people tuned in to watch the 50th Doctor Who episode, Day of the
Doctor. However, you would be forgiven for not bothering to watching it, after
the overkill lead up that we have been exposed to over the past few weeks. I
enjoy Doctor Who, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't glad that the hype is
finally over; at least until they want to celebrate the 75th anniversary.
We
have spent six months waiting, after being teased at the end of series 7 with
the words 'Introducing John Hurt as The Doctor'. As a result, Doctor Who fans
have been suffering from a half-year-long headache, as we all tried to figure
out what Stephen Moffat was up to. However, it has certainly been worth the
wait.
