Months and months and months ago we asked you to send in fan signs we would use to create a giant collage for the Doctor Who Tumblr office. We unexpectedly received over 3500 images, so we decided that instead of creating a collage we’d make a neat image mosaic of the TARDIS!

You can download the full version of the image here (Right click > Save As to choose where you’d like to save it to, FYI it’s a 20MB file) and zoom in to see if you can find your contribution.

Thanks to everyone for participating, look at the cool thing you’ve made! 

UPDATE: Due to a programming error the mosaic was previously missing a lot of submissions, and many of the ones included were repeated a number of times. We’ve updated the file to include the correct number and apologize for this mistake. Enjoy!

eeeeeeeeee!! they made it!! and I’m in it!! (well not me, but the thing I made)

(Hint: two over and two down from the bottom of the door. Look for the pumpkin dressed as Eleven.)

In all this talk about how great the Trek fandom is, I would like to just give a little shoutout to the Classic Who fandom, to which I do not belong in the sense that I haven’t consumed even a respectable fraction of the canon and can’t really participate in it but which cheers me up daily when its wacky, loving, creative, hilarious shit comes across my dash, and which seems like the same kind of kind and welcoming place that Trek fandom is, and which shares with Trek fandom the ability to laugh at its canon’s ridiculous campiness and be lovingly critical of its canon without getting its knickers in a twist, and which wins the award for Fandom That Has Most Made Me Want To Love The Thing It Loves because it loves it so well. Never change, Classic Who fandom.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, BBC Future has created an interactive map of his travels through time. Can you guess which Doctor has made the most TARDIS trips? Click here to find out, and click on each trip to see archive video clips and images too.

This interactive image was produced by Information is Beautiful for BBC Future.

Oh please do click through to the BBC Future site. The interactive map is really something.

The time-travel spaghetti artists at Information is Beautiful previously put together this mega-map of time travel in pop culture, featuring several entertaining “ultra-paradoxes” (Marty McFly meets Star Trek crew and battles Terminator, anyone?)

But perhaps nothing will approach the epic time travel/pop culture intersection that is Temporal Anomalies in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, forever one of my favorite links on the internet. Prepare to have you brain blown outcha head. If you wanna save Buckbeak, you’re gonna need a wormhole.

Lost ‘Doctor Who’ Episodes Have Been Recovered, Now Available on iTunes

BBC Worldwide North America announces that a stash of BBC master tapes from the 1960s featuring missing episodes of Doctor Who has been recovered in Nigeria, Africa. The BBC has re-mastered the tapes, and is making two stories, The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear, now available exclusively on iTunes (www.itunes.com/DoctorWho).

Eleven Doctor Who episodes were discovered (nine of which have not been seen for 46 years) by Philip Morris, director of Television International Enterprises Archive, by tracking records of tape shipments made by the BBC to Africa for transmission. Morris says, “The tapes had been left gathering dust in a store room at a television relay station in Nigeria. I remember wiping the dust off the masking tape on the canisters and my heart missed a beat as I saw the words ‘Doctor Who’. When I read the story code I realized I’d found something pretty special.”

BBC Worldwide has re-mastered these episodes to restore them to the fantastic quality that audiences expect from Doctor Who.

The first recovered story, The Enemy of the World, is a six-episode tale which first aired on the BBC in December 1967. The story features Patrick Troughton as both the Second Doctor and his antagonist (Ramon Salamander), alongside companions Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Victoria (Deborah Watling). Episodes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 had previously been missing from the BBC Archives, and were returned by Morris.

Also recovered is the 1968 six-episode story, The Web of Fear. Also starring Patrick Troughton alongside Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling the story introducesNicholas Courtney for the first time as Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart (who later returns as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart). Episodes 2-6 were feared lost, but now episodes 2, 4, 5, and 6 have been recovered. With episode 3 still missing, the restoration team has reconstructed this part of the story using a selection of the 37 images that were still available from the episode along with the original audio, which has been restored.
