Zoom, Booze, no Doom The 3rd Year Anniversary
Hi everyone,
who would have thought?!
A great idea by @danceswithcows01 for the fandom to connect during complicated times. (And for those of us who had never actually watched more than gif sets from Holby City at that time. *cough cough*)
A weekly Saturday evening meeting of all of us who wanted to see our two favourite doctors being loveable idiots.
A decision to not just stop there, but to continue meeting up to chat and watch things. Silent Witness. Inspector Lynley. Doctor Who. The Grid. What The Butler Saw. Berena again. Christmas specials. Halloween specials. Eurovision Song Contests. And many more things.
It’s great fun. Something steady to look forward to. Kind of fandom changing even.
Long story short, I hope many of you will join in to celebrate
Three Years of Zoom, Booze, no Doom
next
Saturday, 1st April
at the usual time
Germany 9pm
UK 8pm
Wisconsin 2pm
We’re (finally) going to watch The Buddha of Suburbia with Jemma Redgrave.
So don your paper bags, dark sunglasses, disable your camera, or just work on your pokerface until then!
I’m looking forward to seeing you all - if you never ever took part in a Zoom so far and wonder if it is okay to join in for the anniversary celebrations? Of course it is! Everyone is welcome to join in.

"Watching Jamila sometimes made me think the world was divided into three sorts of people: those who knew what they wanted to do; those (the unhappiest) who never knew what their purpose in life was; and those who found out later on. I was in the last category, I reckoned, which didn't stop me wishing I'd been born into the first."

Zoom, Booze, no Doom
The 4th Year Anniversary Zoom
Hi everyone,
honestly, I feel like by now we're all kind of expecting to make the fourth anniversary happen - and yet it still comes as a surprise. Holby City might have been cancelled, but we're still going strong.
What started as a great idea by @danceswithcows01 for the Berena fandom to connect during complicated times, became a weekly Saturday evening meeting for all of us who wanted to see our two favourite doctors being loveable idiots.
Then we decided to not just stop there, but to continue meeting up to chat and watch things.
Inspector Lynley, Bramwell, Chandler & Co, Frankie. Doctor Who, The Grid, Halloween specials, What The Butler Saw, Bernie's resurrection, the rooftop proposal, ESC, Buddha of Suburbia, and so many other things.
Last year we even had a live Zoom crowd meeting in the UK to watch Jemma and Catherine on stage (unfortunately separate ones).
The whole thing is great fun. A constant between all the changes during the last years. It transitioned the fandom quite a bit.
Therefore I hope that many of you who've joined in during the last four years will also join in to celebrate
Four Years of Zoom, Booze, no Doom
on
Saturday, 13th April
at the usual time
Germany 9pm
UK 8pm
Wisconsin 2pm
It doesn't matter if you haven't been part of this for ages, if you only joined in once, or if you always thought about joining in, but never actually did so. Message me if you got any questions.
We're going back to our roots and we'll watch the fandoms ten eleven favourite Berena moments.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all!
