That Moffat impression is uncanny 😂
I know, Jeremy is so good, isn't he?!
Hello, im apart of DC63’s cast and crew. Big thanks for the shout out, love your work :)
Even though this is a comic relief sketch this is a loving tribute to the original era by a true fan of Doctor Who like Steven Moffat
I loved how accurate this short was in predicting Who's future. Also the comedy is perfect.
Rowan Atkinson being one of my favourite comedians as a kid while growing up as well and watching this made me wish of a what if reality in which he was cast as the real Doctor, and if we’re making Blackadder jokes, Baldrick and George would be his companions and Melchet and Darling would be the main villain threat. The series opener, “The Doctor’s Cunning Plan”.
You need a time machine and a top job at the bbc! I’m sold take my money
Jonathan Pryce doing so much research on the character for a comedy skit shows his professionalism, and it shows, I genuinely like his version of the Master. Would be awesome to see Pryce in the show proper.
This is one of those canon-bending things I wouldn’t mind seeing. Pryce as the Master in proper Doctor Who would be awesome. Plus it would be interesting to have an old Master; the last few have all been quite young.
The ‘3 settings’ joke kills me every time and, honestly, I think it’s only gotten funnier because 13 and 15 both have sonics that look very much like products I’ve seen while browsing
I have seen the sketch on CZcams cause there is a full version on CZcams and it’s feels like with a few tweaks it could slip onto the classic era that’s how much love and respect for the show went into it even though they went a more comedic
direction with it by highlighting the more comedic elements of the classic era
Also fact the Planet Tesrus is a call back to deadly assassin where the master makes a deal with chancellor goth.
current mindset: Jonathan Pryce being in the same room as Steven Moffat
The use of Scooby-Doo in the companion’s pleas for the Doctor not to die is interesting because THAT franchise was still in the midst of its own decade-long TV hiatus, but the direct-to-video movies had JUST come back with Zombie Island (Witch’s Ghost to follow in October). When What’s New Scooby-Doo! premiered in 2002 it would run and then be followed pretty consistently by new iterations. While the franchise isn’t in its best spot right now, it’s still got something going and I think that it’s an interesting if unintended acknowledgment rather than just a “this is a silly thing people love”
This could be an awesome Unbound pick up idea for Big Finish, taking the comedy to the next level and bring back some of the cast. Curse of Fatal Death is always one of my favorite go to videos to watch when I need that lighthearted pick me up!
Was literally thinking this last night, get them to make a prequel to Curse of Fatal Death with Rowan Atkinson as an april fools or something deal, could you even imagine??
Great review and just as great part of Doctor Who’s history. Kinda funny how this review and special’s anniversary would come out at around the same time as Steven Moffat returning to the show for next era. It truly is timey wimey.
Hey, nice to see Rex The Runt, the wobbly, bobbly, dribbely, squiggly dog
I'm maybe a bit late to bring this up, But as you all know this special marks the last time the late Roy Skelton voices the Daleks, Also voicing the Daleks is Dave Chapman who has done a lot of work on British TV including The Slamma and his most well role Otis the Aardvark.
Saying Clara is nothing more than your typical feisty Doctor Who companion is such a weird and blatantly incorrect take that I'm pretty shocked it came from you. She's a narcissistic, codependent control freak who becomes suicidal after her lover dies, and starts actively seeking dangerous situations that might give her a chance to die. The whole point of her arc of the series is that she and the Doctor are bad for each other and exacerbate each other's worst traits. That is undeniably a new direction for a companion (at least as far as TV goes, I don't know enough of expanded media companions to say it's _never_ been done before), even if you don't like that direction.
I've noticed that a lot of fans seem to dislike her run on the show, which is a shame coz I personally loved her character & her dynamic with 12.
@@joshryan155 I also love her character and her dynamic with 12.
The way this guy just constantly shits on Moffat, his era, his writing, and his characters whenever he gets the chance to do so is extremely off putting to be honest; especially when you see how much more lenient he is on other eras of the show that have just as much if not more issues than Moffat’s own.
@chaoslordtriumphant3595 For me personally, the aspects of the Moffat era that I weren't fond of were the reacurance of the Weeping Angels as I found each appearance of them less interesting, too much of River Song & I found Amy difficult to get into as a main companion, I actually preferred Roy
It's such a common take in the fandom and it always makes me roll my eyes. I feel like that's such a surface-level interpretation of 7B Clara that for some reason people think stuck throughout her run with Capaldi. They can dislike her all they want, but at least dislike her for the character she is, not for the cardboard cutout that lives in their heads.
Hello! As part of the Devious gang, thanks for showing a few clips of Devious. We have almost finished episode 5. (Being shown at DWAS the capitol convention next week 😊) Episode 6 due next year for the 25th anniversary of the filming of the Pertwee stuff for devious. Bit of fun, the time rota broke when filming Curse, so the master had to step over Stephen Cranford, who was holding the wires together to make the console work. Keep up the terrific work 👍
13th Doctor: "I've still got my trusty sonic screwdriver, oh it's got three settings" 😂
Still have the vhs.
this actually might of been the first piece of doctor who media I watched, it was either this or the movie I remember watching both of them as a child but I can't remember which one I watched first. Then I got into it during David Tenant's era.... in 2023
Omg. I went to see the Memory of Water with Julia Sawalha in 1999. What a blast from the past. Thank you 😊
That brought back some memories for me. I was smiling throughout so thank you ❤
I remember this back in the day! :) I was born in 1990, one year after Dr Who was cancelled. I watched Dr Who on UK GOLD and VHS tapes. So this was a very special comic relief sketch for me. Great review and entertainment as usual Mr TARDIS. My favourite part was the Master falling down the sewers! Very entertaining.
Thank you for doing what you do! ❤
Thanks for the shout out at the beginning! (This is The Lower Decker BTW) I really appreciate that!
Yes please to a video about devious!
I love this thing, the gag with the Master falling down that hole and being increasingly disgruntled at having to take all that time off-screen to get back into the scene will never not be funny to me. And the plunger on the hand is just cute.
Rowan Atkinson really wanted to play The doctor but apparently it never came to anything sadly.shame as he would have been great as the doctor.
The Curse of Fatal Death had some really great fan castings. Atkinson, Pryce, Richard E. Grant (who also voiced The Doctor in Scream of the Shalka), Huh Grant, Jim Broadbent, and of course, Joanna Lumley.
I love your videos. And your take on episodes you review and The big fish audio books
Great video as always! Thanks for the promo!
An excellent special giving Doctor Who the skit it deserved.
I remember watching the first three parts of this when it first aired; I think I'd gone to bed before part four came on. I remember my dad saying at the end of part three, “How many parts has this thing got?”
Anyone else think they should randomly get Mark Ayres or someone to score a modern episode? I do miss the corny synth scores.
Anyone know how to watch the Victoria Wood Jim Broadbent Doctor Who sketch?
Dalek Bumps!
Ah yes. The template for the Moffat era.
“Steven Moffat, the one handed writer strikes again.” Save that in case Boom has any questionable Moffatisms. 😂
Great work!
I hadn't known about the original part two cliffhanger, but it's absolutely perfect. I've always considered that cliffhanger in the otherwise brilliant Genesis to be kind of the epitome of everything great and awful about Who all at once!
LOL at "Ainley laugh" in the captions.
And yeah, Moffat writing women.... sigh. The Doctor gets a long, descriptive paragraph of his character in the script, and Emma gets three words: "a young woman", which is about all the character she gets in the rest of the script. I'm just surprised she wasn't more feisty. At lest Lumley is great, even with what she's given.
Looking forward to your video on Devious.
Did the dalek exterminate people after he couldn't get a doughnut or cheeseburger if not I feel bad for the darek
I was Pryce’s “guest liaison” at the Oxford Union. He did not disappoint - totally nuts, brilliantly good company, twisted, deranged, and really doesn’t take himself seriously. I adored every moment of hosting him.
Jonathan Pryce is on dream guest cast list for proper doctor who. It's a short list just him and Julie Waters.
A Dalek whispers in Daleks’ Masterplan
Crazy how long Davina has been a mainstream presentet.
Going back to this, it's a bit off-putting to see it present the idea of the Doctor regenerating as a woman as such an obviously ridiculous idea that it can stand as the whole joke, given certain fan responses when it really did happen. Otherwise, I still love the hell out of it.
Personally, I originally took it as Joanna Lumley parodying herself as the Doctor. Not that the Doctor is a woman.
I find it doubly hilarious now, as it unintentionally predicted the thirteenth Doctor being a woman and also fulfils Sydney Newman's original suggestion of having Joanna Lumley play the Doctor in the 1980s.
It might be a bit dated, but there are some really good gags in it and it's clearly made by people who loved the classic series.
Sadly this sketch and Blackadder Back and Forth are the closest we ever got to a Rowan Atkinson Doctor.
Overall the best thing that Moffat ever wrote for Doctor Who, a tight and funny 20 minutes of tv except the female Doctor gap that hasn't aged well, but then Big Finish also did the same thing a few years later. It's just a shame that after series 5 most of Moffat's actually era felt a lot of time like 20 minutes worth of good ideas stretched out over 6 years.
Joanna Lumley always sort of has that kind of cool mom/grandma vibes and pulls it off better than Jodie.
The year this was broadcast I turned 30 I wish I had turned 35 or 36 or even 40
👍
Its canon. FACT!
I was thinking that. Just an alternate timeline!
Doctor Who's Best Timeline
LoL I like this episode
A female as the 13th doctor how scary accurate
Moffat was 100% correct about Ainley's Master. He's an unbelievably naff villain
I like Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death
Hi Mr TARDIS, I just watched a Will of the Fans Video. Its so stupid what he makes up. And all the comments are all dr who is dying comments. Please make another video covering Wills stupid dr who rant videos. The one i watched was about Milly not leaving and RTD was the one for all the confusion. Its hilarious what he comes up with in his videos.
Doctor Who comedy series would work be funny rather than thrillery good night sweetheart was good
Grdto Lchso
25 years later and Moffat's writing isn't any less creepy.
At least here it's tonally consistent. I much prefer that to the Moffat-era Who's constant risk of random sex joke hit-and-runs in the middle of otherwise normal episodes.
@@Talisguy Nevermind let's put Amy on a literal glass ceiling and stare up at her knickers.
He's better at standalones, so I'm excited for Boom.
@@benw4409 He's only good when someone sane edits his scripts. See the first draft of Blink.
@@lillywho Who edited his scripts when he was showrunner? He wrote some crackers even then, as anyone who hasn't jumped on the anti-Moffat bandwagon can see.
