    Doctor Who Celebrates 50 Years

    The Day of the Doctor has arrived. I can barely keep my bow-tie on.

    So guess what today is.

    On this day, November 23, in 1963, at 17:16:20 GMT, the first episode of Doctor Who "An Unearthly Child" premiered...

    …and today, November 23, 2013, at 19:50 GMT, "The Day of the Doctor" celebrates 50 years of Whovian glory!

    In the words of the First Doctor...

    CUE THE INTERNET EXPLODING WITH WHOVIAN HAPPINESS.

    Are we (maniacally) excited?

    Get your excuses prepared.

    Play the amazing Google doodle to distract yourself.

    If you're in the States, thank BBC America. The simulcast starts at 2:50 pm ET.

    Freak out a bit…

    …then get ready.

    LET'S DO THIS.

    Mind the scarf, grab the jelly babies...

    …get your fix of tea, ready your cricket bat...

    …your outfit...

    …the TARDIS...

    …and your Companion!

    GET EXCITED.

    GET TO A TV.

    …and GERONIMO!
