"Doctor Who fans have launched a petition to light up the Empire State Building &amp;#039;TARDIS blue&amp;#039; on November 23 in celebration of the show&amp;#039;s 50th anniversary. The petition has attracted over 12,000 signatures in under a week following its launch on September 23.    Organisers explained: &amp;quot;This is the first time a sci-fi show has lasted 50 years. It&amp;#039;s a landmark occasion. &amp;quot;The Doctor has visted NYC many times over the years, most recently earlier this season. Now NYSciFi &amp;amp; Fantasy (www.NYSciFi.com) wants to bring NYC to The Doctor to celebrate! &amp;quot;We are attempting to partner with the Empire State Building (www.esbnyc.com) to make this happen (all official paperwork was submitted to the Empire State Building on 9/23/13).&amp;quot;  The Empire State Building - the second-tallest building in New York City - often marks special occasions by lighting the top of the tower in special colours. Doctor Who&amp;#039;s 50th anniversary will air worldwide on November 23 and stars Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Coleman, Billie Piper and John Hurt. The BBC announced earlier today (September 29) that a never before seen full-length trailer for &amp;#039;The Day of the Doctor&amp;#039; is currently in post-production and will air soon.
