Amongst the constant ramblings of the latest Marvel movie,
or the somewhat peculiar appearance from Metallica, it comes as no surprise
that the Doctor Who panel still
managed to wow audiences with its presence in anticipation of the programme’s
50th anniversary.
To discuss the upcoming special, Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman
and series show-runner Stephen
Moffat made a very welcome appearance in front of over 6,000 onlookers. Once their favourite Time lord took
his seat, fans were treated to a short teaser trailer, hinting at some of the
episode’s content. Judging by the audience's reaction, this will definitely be worth the wait.
Matt Smith, the man behind the icon for the past three
years, also spoke a little on his upcoming departure. He said “I’m proud and grateful
to be a part of it…I just wanted to say, thank you, for all your support”.
Amongst the panel discussions and teaser videos, fans were celebrating Doctor Who just as much, if not more, than the actors themselves. With the area teeming with cosplay enthusiasts resembling various Whovian characters (and certain box-shaped time machines) a sense of genuine love for the programme ran throughout the building. This was allegedly too much fun for Matt Smith to just sit and watch, who instead opted to don a Bart Simpson mask to walk amongst his admirers!
As one of the major appearances on the final day of San
Diego Comic-Con 2013, Doctor Who certainly made an impact, but more importantly, gets us even more
excited for the end of the year when we can all see the 50th
anniversary special!
