🎉 What is Tally Day?

Tally Day honors the unforgettable — and terrifyingly forgettable — Silence from Doctor Who (Series 6).
On this day, Whovians unite to remember what cannot be remembered by marking every “sighting” with a tally mark.

It’s a celebration of mystery, memory, and a bit of cosmic horror — with a whole lot of fun.

📅 When is Tally Day?

April 22 — commemorating the original air date of “The Impossible Astronaut” (April 23, 2011) but shifted one day earlier,
because… how would you know you missed it?

(Optional alternative: celebrate on November 23 as part of overall Doctor Who Day!)

🛠️ How to Celebrate Tally Day

1. Prepare Your Tally Kit

• Sharpies (skin safe preferred!)
• Washable markers
• Post-it notes
• A mirror
• (Optional: Silence cosplay mask or suit)

---

2. Mark Every Strange Sighting

All day long:

• See something weird? ➔ TALLY.
• Catch a glimpse of someone in a suit? ➔ TALLY.
• Lose your train of thought for no reason? ➔ TALLY.
• Think about The Silence? ➔ TALLY.

Tally on your arms, your hands, or wherever you can see it and remember.

3. Tally Day Group Photo

Gather your friends or fellow Whovians, show off your tally-covered skin, and snap a picture!

• “Silence will fall.”

Post with the hashtag #TallyDay and #SilenceWillFall.

4. Watch Party: The Impossible Astronaut + Day of the Moon

Rewatch these two iconic episodes:

• Jump every time someone looks at their arm.
• Bonus points if you watch with the lights off!

---

5. Memory Loss Games

Play memory challenges!
Example:

• Tally Tag: One person “forgets” something — everyone else tries to figure out what it was.
• Silence Hide-and-Seek: “Forget” when you find someone!

---

6. Create Your Own Silence Story

Write a mini-story or comic imagining a new type of creature you would need to mark tallies to remember.

---

7. End the Day by Erasing Your Tallies

At the end of Tally Day, wash off your tallies in a reflective, symbolic ritual —
as if forgetting everything you remembered.

(Optional: light a small candle or flashlight while you do it — a tribute to the unseen.)

---

🎩 Tally Day Dress Code

• Business suits (like The Silence!)
• Trench coats
• Bow ties and fezzes (because The Doctor would want you to)
• Or just comfy pajamas covered in tally marks!
