15th Anniversary of “Rose” Rewatch and Prequel Today

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the revival of Doctor Who, fans are invited to join in on a communal rewatch of debut episode “Rose” from 7pm GMT on 26th March.

Simply launch the episode and tweet along with the hashtag #TripOfALifetime. The episode is currently available on iPlayer here.

Ex-showrunner and episode writer Russell T Davies will join Twitter to tweet along. An unseen “Rose” prequel will also be released soon (we’ll update the post when released).

Davies wrote: “Come and have fun! Before that, Thursday daytime, time TBC, we’ll release ROSE: THE PREQUEL on the BBC’s Doctor Who website – it’s a lost piece of history from the 50th anniversary year, 2013. Never seen before!

“ROSE is available in the UK on BBC iPlayer and Netflix; worldwide, check your own resources (don’t ask me, I have no clue!). If you can’t find a copy, close your eyes at 7pm GMT and feel my psychic link.

“I’ll be tweeting along, twitter handle to be named on Thursday! Plus more surprise to come. Oh what a lockdown this is!”

UPDATE: See the prequel here. Follow RTD’s twitter here.
