Although we are more focussed on our 50th anniversary here, the Brits are celebrating a cultural 50th today.
This is the 50th anniversary of the debut of Dr Who.
Dr Who has gone through 11 regenerations and prepare for the 12th Dr.
My son has watched for a while and my daughter has caught on too.
I am a late arrival to Dr Who because I seldom watch TV
However, as I got tired of sitting at my desk all day and evening, I ventured to the living room to unwind in ftont of the telly.
With my Direct subscription, I get 200+ stations and nothing to watch.
I'm tired of pawn shops, ancient aliens, Sasquatch and pretty much else that's reality tv and found myself enjoying the escapism of Dr Who
BBC America has had wall to wall Dr Who all week with it all culminating today
I get the feeling that, to the Brits, this a little like the week leading up to the Superbowl
