Is everyone ready for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, airing this Saturday??? I AM! I AM!

In celebration of the highly anticipated upcoming special, BBC America had a TARDIS/Eleventh Doctor-themed cake commissioned by New Jersey specialty cake shop Pink Cake Box. Check out the photos here below of the cake, which was delivered today to BBC America’s New York office. The cake was reportedly more delicious on the inside.

The first episode of Broadchurch, the new crime drama starring former Doctor Who lead David Tennant, aired on BBC America at the end of July, but you can watch the premiere online for free right now ad-free.

Watch the first episode here below.

BBC America, who acquired the 8-part series from iTV, where it aired in the UK earlier this year, will keep the first episode online until August 22. The third episode of Broadchurch airs on BBC America on Wednesday, August 21 at 10pm/9c.

“It never rains, but it pours.”

It’s funny how that simple phrase so fittingly ties into the theme for “Cold War,” the latest episode of Doctor Who. Once The Doctor (Matt Smith) and Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) materialize on the Soviet submarine, chaos has already ensued and things continue to progress and get worse.

And then the bottom really falls out.

Written by Mark Gatiss (whose past Doctor Who episodes have been rather hit or miss), “Cold War” certainly plays into the themes and fears of the time and makes them a tangible threat that seeps through the episode like the drops of water that constantly drip through the nuclear submarine. The threat is real. And it’s here.

“We’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”

If you talk to any avid television fans, they’ll often tell you the exact moment in which they fell in love with their favorite show. But I don’t know many fans who can tell you the exact context in which they fell in love with that show.

Doctor Who was something I was always hesitant to get into, mostly because I felt it was something with such a storied past that I’d never be able to get caught up enough to a point where I’d be able to appreciate it as much as a hardcore fan does. It took months of pressure from friends to jump into the series. I started with Series 5, because many of my friends felt that was the most accessible episode of the series for a new fan. In January of 2011, during a rare snowy day in South Carolina, I fired up “The Eleventh Hour.”

I was hooked.
