And then, from the Doctor Who Lockdown team - legit got choked up:
It's 5:16pm on 23 November. 57 years to the minute since Doctor Who first began ✨

Spare a thought on Doctor Who's anniversary for Verity Lambert - the BBC's only female producer, and its youngest, having not yet scraped 30. An absolute icon. pic.twitter.com/BaxTdD7wlM

I... forget that this is a show that is actually CURRENT? And that we will get more? S12 was pre-lockdown, so it feels like decades ago.
ETA: Watched The Christmas Invasion. (Because that's where we were up to in our re-watch.) SO MUCH FUN!
The teenager's opinion: I prefer old Doctor Who to New Doctor Who
Me: This IS New Doctor Who!
*g*
Also I stand by my 'Dr Who as a metaphor for the UK' analogy. The Doctor toppled Harriet Jones and destroyed Britain's Golden Age. And here we are.
