Meetup 48: Whobilee

NOTE: Changed to Sunday 11/15!

It's anniversary month! 2026 marks 63 years of the greatest TV show ever made. While 63 is not really seen as a particularly momentous anniversary, it's still pretty impressive for a TV show that is still running (if we use the term generously today). So, for this month, our episodes are inspired by anniversary materials....

Silver Nemesis - The 7th Doctor and Ace encounter Cybermen\, Nazis\, living statues\, and Southern women in limousines as the series marks the 25th anniversary with an attempt at a silver theme.

The Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death - Ruby, symbolizing passionate and enduring love, marks the 40th year. So let's check out the 15th Doctor and Ruby Sunday in the season finale of the Ncuti's first year in the TARDIS.

Tooth and Claw/Midnight - Diamond, symbolizing unbreakable strength and timeless love, marks 60 years. The 10th Doctor and Rose battle a werewolf and conveniently happen to have access to one of the largest diamonds in the world to stop it. And then the 10th Doctor - on his own - battles mysterious forces on a planet made of diamond.

The Day of the Doctor - These cutesy themes are all well and good, but maybe we just want to watch an anniversary story for realz?

When you RSVP, please rank the four options above in the comments in the order of preference (1 being "Yes! I desperately want to see it!" and 4 being "Meh."), and we will abide by the choice of the attendees.

For the Meetup itself, we ask everyone to bring something to drink and something to eat (snacks/munchies - you don't need to bring a whole ham or something!) to share with the group. We'll have food and drink as well and maybe a themed cocktail if the inspiration strikes...

We are a couple blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro (15th and Harvard NW). We'll provide the full address ahead of the event. Note also that we are a walk-up - two flights of stairs.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
