Doctor Who

News

A recent study found that as many as 87% of Internet videos are actually Doctor Who tribute music videos*, so normally I wouldn’t bother posting one to this ‘ere blog. However, it’s very good, so I thought I’d do it anyway. It’s basically a video done in the style of A-ha’s iconic video for ‘Take On Me’ but with Doctor Who instead. You can watch it and the original below.

They’re called the Sons of Gallifrey and they’ve managed to get Yee Jee Tso from the TV movie involved. Impressive, huh?

Now give them your money. Or audition for them. Your choice.

Oh wait. Here’s a trailer. It seems to involve an S&M Rani. Oh dear. I’m assuming the Time Lady, not the one off The Sarah Jane Adventures. Oh dear, either way.
