Going with Joe's (favourite included) for Facebook, a bit different for Twitter. 

Twitter:

Doctor Who premiered on British TV on 11/23/1963 (with this logo). Congrats @DoctorWho_BBCA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Unearthly_Child 

In the spirit of favourite any space to do "Nov" or November 23 ? [obviously there is no month 23 and we're posting on November 23rd so people will figure it out but MDY is used by basically no one other then the US (DMY is much more common and includes the UK but just calling the month out specifically is probably most universal).

  

Facebook: 

Doctor Who made its debut on British television on this day in 1963. Who's your favourite Doctor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Unearthly_Child 

What thinks?

It's also the anniversary of the first-ever episode of Doctor Who...

I used to believe this was ripe for arguments... I still have those arguments but now I've just decided it's a very mean question to ask a fan because it causes so much internal strife (that said it's also why it's a perfect question to ask because it gets them going ;) so I recommend it)

 

If we're doing this we should definitely tag their social accounts as well, they've got a pretty on-the-button social media team if memory serves...

YES!!!! They even replied to our year in review youtube video last year :D [I say as I remember I think it was you who found that/at least told me about it]

 

Random factoid, it was marred by JFK's assassination the previous day. Thankfully, a certain nemesis's introduction in the next episode made up for that.

The Daleks <s>fix</s> destroy everything, but the Master is the better nemesis <sets up fan fight>
