There Are Strange Things Afoot At The National Gallery – Doctor Who 50th Anniversary News

So, the BBC have released the official press blurb of the plot to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. It really is more of a tease than any kind of summary. Behold:

The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special. In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

Something terrible is awakening in London’s Nation Gallery… Uh-oh. Sounds like someone found that opened jar of Marmite Lance someone left under the heating grate in the Impressionists wing back in 1992. I knew nothing good could come of that. Impressionists, I mean. Give me a good Flemish still life, with flowers and table settings that are bafflingly photo realistic. None of this pixelated Water Lily stuff. Am I right?

Wait, what was I talking about again? Oh, right. Doctor Who‘s 50th anniversary, a Marmite induced fever dream in which there will be multiple Doctors and murderous plots afoot in Elizabethan England. Aren’t there always murderous plots afoot in Elizabethan England on Doctor Who? How about giving Edwardian England a little love? Haven’t traveled there for a while? Oh well. At least we’ll finally see how John Hurt’s Doctor figures into this and we’ll get to see more David Tennant while finally bidding farewell to Matt Smith. These are all good things. Much better than Marmite. And Impressionists.

I need a nap.
