It’s amazing to think that 'The Five Faces of #DoctorWho' repeat season began airing today (Monday 2nd November) in 1981 - 44 years - where has the time gone? Back then, the 18 year old #AnUnearthlyChild and even #TheKrotons (a mere 13 years old) seemed like relics from a different age

This is an official rule, right? 😂 #Christmas2025🎄🎅🎁
