THE 2024 WHO'S ON FIRST BLOG-A-THON: INTRODUCTION



HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everybody had a great New Year's Eve?

Welcome to the 16
th anniversary edition of the "Who's On First?" blogAthon.  For the next 24 hours, there will (hopefully) be forty-eight posts about 'Doctor Who', one every half hour.

This round-the-clock celebration of 'Doctor Who' began somewhat modestly - there were only seven "episodes" for that first outing.  But it has grown to the point where for the last couple of years we have tried to present a new blog post about the universe of the Doctor every half hour.   That may not be the case this year.  We'll at least try to get one in every hour.

And I always amaze myself that I find enough topics each year.  But then, I have yet to see every episode of the 59 year old series.

Because of their time-sensitive nature, there were a few posts I published earlier in the year.  Some are just mentions of the Doctor, most of them dealt with the breaking news about the show.  If so, I'll re-post them early in the day's schedule.

This edition will hopefully be special.  (I'm setting up this post on January 9, 2023.)  By November of 2023, we should be celebrating the 60th anniversary of 'Doctor Who'.  If we haven't wiped ourselves out by then.

So here it is - the kick-off to the 2024 edition of 'Who's On First'!  And as always, we begin with the frame grab from 'Robot Chicken' which has become our mascot.... 

By the way, that quote in the picture of the Tenth Incarnation and Martha is from the lyrics of the song "The Toast" by one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Adam Ezra.
