U.S. fans of iconic U.K. sci-fi series Doctor Who want to mark the 50th anniversary of the show with alight show fit for a king. More than 17,000 fans have signed on to have New York's Empire State Building turned "TARDIS blue" in November, in honor of the show's golden anniversary. The TARDIS, as Whovians well know, looks like a police phone-call box but, being bigger on the inside, is the portal the Doctor and his companions travel through time and space in.
The Change.org petition was launched by Adam Kaufman, a member of the New York-based sci-fi superfan organization NY SciFi & Fantasy. As Kaufman said therein: "The Empire State Building regularly uses their spectacular light show to celebrate special moments in pop culture, such as sports events, the i5th anniversary of The Lion King, and Wrestlemania, as well as all the holidays and occasions it's more known for being lit up for. As far as we know, however, they've never lit up to celebrate a SciFi show. What better place to start than the iconic series Doctor Who?"
BBC America will air the Doctor Who 50th-anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor," on Nov. 23, part of a simulcast that will air in more than 75 countries overall.
