To celebrate "Doctor Who" as the longest running series in the history of BBC-TV and on the occasion of the premiere of the sci-fi star's twentieth season, Lionheart Television will stage on November 23, a coast-to-coast birthday part stretching from New York to California.
"We're shooting for the Guinness Book of Records for the biggest party ever — with over 7,000 U.S. fans singing "Happy Birthday" to our hero, "Doctor Who," stated President of Lionheart Wynn Nathan.
A BBC-TV hit since 1962, "Doctor Who" is now seen weekly by 98 million fans in 38 countries via BBC Enterprises. The series has featured five different actors as the Time Lord during its 20-year run.
Numerous companions of Doctor Who plan to make cameo appearances
during this 90-minute special entitled The Five Doctors. Plus, former Doctor Who's will join the cast: Richard Hendrel (playing the first Doctor Who. William Hartnell passed away), Patrick Trough ton (second Doctor Who), Jon Pertwee (Doctor Who number three), Tom Baker (fourth Doctor Who and currently being seen on KUED), and the present Doctor Who Peter Davison.
All U.S. "Doctor Who" fans are encouraged to send birthday cards for the occasion to: DOCTOR WHO BIRTHDAY PARTY, P.O. Box 215, Pearl River, New York, 10965. All cards received will be forwarded to BBC Enterprises to go on display in the "Doctor Who" production rehearsal rooms.
