By chance I found myself watching a Dr. Who concert this morning. Who knew?!

An orchestra plays music used in the TV series, which includes some of the greats, like Mars, by Holst, with Amy Pond [Karen Gillan] as host and The Doctor in attendance.

I watched the whole thing, it was fun!

Christmas special at 9 tonight, even on BBC America. For the first time, Doctor Who is being shown on the proper day here in America.
 
Who? Never heard of him, though Horton says he has.
