The Official BBC Doctor Who Website Has Today Opened Its 2nd Advent(ure) Calendar Door

The official BBC Doctor Who website launched its 2009 Advent(ure) Calendar yesterday and today has seen the second of the twenty five doors open. Yesterday's door offered an exclusive game, whereas today's door offers three exclusive Doctor Who Christmas cards with the first being a design of The Doctor, the second the TARDIS and the third being a group of classic series Cybermen. Each of the three cards include a picture related to Christmas in some way, whether it be The Doctor, the TARDIS or the Cybermen in the snow, a page which reads Merry Christmas and a page which says that Doctor Who will return in The End of Time, Part One. The cards also stress that any of the three designs may not be resold or reproduced. Never-the-less you can print off and hand out the cards, with the chance to write on the black page provided. You can visit door two here, the main Adventure Calendar page here or download each of the cards here, here and here. The third door will of course open at some point tomorrow and will contain another exclusive item, whether it be new pictures, a new game, a quiz or even a new End of Time trailer. Please remember that a calendar door will open every day until Christmas.

The Official BBC Doctor Who Website Has Today Opened Its 1st Advent(ure) Calendar Door

Today has seen the official launch of the official Doctor Who website's Advent(ure) Calendar, after fans demanded its return. The official Doctor Who Advent Calendar is back and will each day give away exclusive pictures, games, secrets and other content, preparing fans for The End of Time Part One, which is set to air in Britain on Christmas day. The calendar is available to everyone in the United Kingdom and Ireland and will run until the twenty fifth of December, or so we presume. Today's advent door contains an exclusive game called Doctor in the House. The official website says: 'Remember the moments in Tooth and Claw where Rose was trying to cajole Queen Victoria into saying 'We are not amused'? Or in The Shakespeare Code where the Doctor was cheekily slipping the Bard's own lines into conversations with him? Well, here's a similar game where you have to sneakily use as many quotations from the Doctor as possible. Use the guile of a Time Lord to win big points!' You can visit door one here, the main Adventure Calendar page here or download the game instructions as a pdf file here. The second calendar door will open at some point tomorrow and will contain yet another exclusive feature.
