Global mass viewing of “Rose” tonight, 26 March
If you are in isolation – as you should be – there are global, communal online rewatches of Doctor Who planned starting at 7pm UK time on the dates below.
For “Rose” (tonight, 26 March – yes, it’s the 15 year anniversary) you can follow all the fans watching on Twitter by using the hashtag #TripofaLifetime. As Steven Moffat did, Russell T Davies will be joining Twitter to be part of the fun.
UPDATE: Russell T Davies has now signed up and you can follow him here: twitter.com/russelldavies63
If you are in the UK you can watch it on iPlayer here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074dlv/doctor-who-series-1-1-rose
Depending on your country it is also available on Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play etc.
For “Day of The Doctor” the hashtag was #SaveTheDay.
You can also join in the conversations here afterwards:
