Faced with growing alarms of isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, fans of “Doctor Who”, the longest-running and iconic sci-fi series on British television, have organized to simultaneously enjoy the special episode of 50 anniversary of the character.
The idea came from Rachel Cook of BBC Radio, who is part of the official magazine of the program and also provided links where fans could see it legally.
Whovians (as fans of the series call themselves) from around the world took this initiative and with the hashtag #SaveTheDay, they managed to become a trend.
"Home, the long way round". Qué mejor momento para volver a este episodiazo y recordarme el por qué me enamoré de esta serie. ¡Gracias a los Whovians por hacer este simulcast posible! #SaveTheDay pic.twitter.com/LOqtVH4NnV

“The Day of the Doctor” was first broadcast on November 23, 2013 and this episode celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Doctor Who” as a program.
CHILLS. CHILLS. CHILLS.
I can't think of a better way to wrap up the anniversary than this. Simply one of the best Doctor Who scenes ever.#DoctorWho#SaveTheDay pic.twitter.com/kF1C4yTdLL
