This is a landmark achievement in #DoctorWho fandom. Absolutely mind-blowing. DO NOT MISS!!!
I've spent the last 3 years animating episode 1 of the Daleks' Master Plan for its 60th anniversary today! Yes, we had a slight technical hitch when I realised I'd uploaded the wrong version of the file, but we're good now!
And you might want to keep watching to the very end..
