While saddened that we won't be going ourselves, we're happy to welcome our new crew member aboard. We won't let COVID beat us.

What is YOUR favorite shot from the classic series?
The hardest part about editing
@unlikelyfandom
is combing through ~300 episodes to find THESE shots. The ones that inspired artists, filmmakers, etc.
We want to represent all eras, but you can’t help but notice the fall off by the time you get to Series 12.
We were so lucky. 🥹
