DOCTOR WHO
THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR
WHY I LOVE IT
Frank Skinner
Where did you see the 50th birthday episode?
In a cinema. The audience included Sylvester McCoy, John Hurt, Matt Smith and Steven Moffat - and me feeling like I was in heaven.
What was your favourite scene?
I got tearful when all the Doctors appeared together - remembering it now I feel a bit tingly.
What do you love about Who?
Many things but particularly that the Doctor himself is not a macho hero; he's a nerd who is wise, gentle and treats all species the same. Even when he had a chance to destroy the Daleks, he had second thoughts.
How long have you been a fan?
From the start. I only remember a few things from when I was a small child: one of them was the news that President John F Kennedy had been shot and the next night Doctor Who started. I remember that first episode frighteningly distinctly. I was very, very excited.

Did you know?
The anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor aired 50 years to the day (23 November 1963) when the first Doctor William Hartnell debuted on BBC TV. In a technical feat worthy of the Time Lord, it was seen simultaneously in 94 countries, earning a Guinness World Record as "the world's largest ever simulcast of a TV drama".
