Dear Whovians,
There’s no denying that 2013 was a sensational year for our fan base. During the excitement of the fiftieth anniversary we banded together like never before in support, anticipation and celebration of this wonderful television show we are privileged enough to call our own. It was lying in bed on the night of the 24th of November, reeling from the extraordinary 50th Anniversary weekend that I had never been prouder to call myself a Whovian. Never been prouder to be part of such a massive group of people who are spread across different generations, different nationalities, and different social standards – All united by one constant love for A Mad Man in a Box.
Looking among the fandom at the moment however, this feeling is slowly fading away. Echoing the words of Peter Capaldi: “Doctor Who is an extraordinary show, and the thing that strikes me about it is that it is still here after all this time and the reason that I think it is still here is because of the work of everyone that’s worked on the show. But the real reason… the big reason Doctor Who is still with us is because of every single viewer that took the show into their hearts. Doctor Who belongs to all of us. Everybody makes Doctor Who.”
The question must be asked however, if the fandom continues down the path it’s currently on – “What will Doctor Who soon become?”
