TikTok Galliday (#tiktokgalliday) is now an annual Doctor Who fan event on the TikTok app. Fans of the BBC show Doctor Who post fandom-based content all weekend long. This is the second year, and it has taken place from April 23rd through the 25th. It is a great way to get into cosplay, show off collectibles, and meet new people with the same love for Doctor Who.
Here are some brilliant videos you should check out!
