A beautiful video that made me cry because I'm such a girl. It really tugs on your heart strings, especially if you love all the Doctors. You get an inkling of who is this time lordy gestalt that we know as the Doctor.
Doctor Who: "The First Question", celebrates the Doctor Who's 50th anniversary.

And to finish, a bit of disrespectful fun, Doctor Who the way I've always imagined it, very sweary:
This is a beautiful performance of Murray Gold’s 11th Doctor's theme, by Mark Fowler (UKpiano's Channel).
He explains that ...
"This arrangement is my own and learnt purely by ear. The performance, as with all my performances on Youtube, is played straight/live with no before or after editing whatsoever, the strings sound you hear is just dual voiced with piano for effect, but still played at same time as the actual grand piano voice, so there is no added parts to the performance.
I cant remember the last time I had so much fun with a piece or had so much enjoyment from learning a piece and practicing it..."
Last night, after we'd successfully bagged another podcast (tricky blighters, these podcasts, but that one went down without much of a fight), the Prof decided to do some fact checking about female Nu-WHo directors and discovered this little oddity, which we'd never even heard of. Probably because we haven't watched Jim'll Fix It type shows since we were knee high. Okay, some of us are still knee high, but you know what I mean...
It starts off cringe-makingly awful but stick with it, there's a really nice pay-off. The monster make-up isn't that bad, either and to be fair, the guy actually delivers a better performance than some of the genuine monsters from series 2-4. Definitely a space oddity...
In keeping with the Crimbley theme, we have a festive offering from the nearest thing the DirtyWhoers podcast has to a fan, everyone's favourite Dalek, Bruce.
Enjoy. Or quake in fear. Its Christmas, knock yourself out. Well not literally, obviously. That would hurt.
Look.
I know everyone AND their mother has blogged the crap out of this video. But I don't care.
I LOVE this.
THIS is WHY I LOVE DOCTOR WHO:
Watch and listen (and laugh your ass off) if you want to understand my love of this sci-fi show that started in 1963.
Craig Ferguson: You're my hero. EXCELLENT LYRICS. Better than Shakespeare to my ears.
xox!
PS - if there's anyone left on the planet that didn't get to see the whole Doctor Who themed show on Craig Ferguson follow this LINK. ;-)
OK, uhm.. Regarding the news that Matt Smith will be on Craig Ferguson:
FUCK YEAH!
I say this with full gusto, as an American, in the knowledge that Craig Ferguson, my favorite stateside late night comedian, will be having Matt Smith on as a guest!!! It will air tonight, (Tuesday the 16th) at 12:35am on CBS stations. Or maybe I should say early early Wednesday morning?
I am FULL of superfluous exclamation points at this news and I apologise for my total EXCITEMENT. But Mr. Ferguson is perfect for introducing the newest Doctor to those Americans not familiar with Doctor Who or it's updated form, being that he's originally from Scotland. But he's ours now. You Brits can't have him back. He has been assimilated. He'll do a fantastic interview I'm sure.
Oh gosh, I'm jumping up and down like a girl. Oh right...I AM a girl. Dare I ... SQUEEEE!!!!
Oh dear. I'm outta CONTROL.
Watch last night's little preview in Mr. Ferguson's monologue:
AWW!
Dalek Love.
====================================
UNDT NAO ZEE UPDATE:
YAY! It's done.
Thanks to TVsCraigFerguson from YouTube you can now view all parts of this show. The main Matt Smith interview video I include below. Go to his page and you can see all the other parts of the show including LOTS of WHOering about: Blasphemous use of the sonic(The Doctor's "magic pen") for purposes of genital torture of producers that forget to inform Mr. Ferguson of vitally important information until 5 minutes before the show. Major disappointment for Craigy but to his credit he stays calm(well, you know, as calm as a Whovian who's hosting the Doctor can be) and carries on to offer up an outstandingly amusing and ultra geek pleasing show. He warms up the show with a quick and silly "interview" with Chris Hardwick from The Nerdist, who was very fun, silly and kinda hot. Then came the main attraction, Mr. Matt Smith.
I'm not even going to say a word about it. OK, just one predictable word from me: Awesome!
The BBC have released a trailer of their 2010 Autumn/Winter up coming dramas including a few tantalizingly short clips from this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special! The whole 2010 dramas preview is here if you care to see all the clips, some with previous Doctor Who actors, David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston and even "the next Doctor" actor, David Morrissey.
Below is the version made by Doctor Who TV, containing only the Doctor Who Christmas clips.
Everyone got incredibly excited on the net when people began tweeting, posting, etc. about this awesome (fake) BBC 2010 Christmas Trailer posted on YouTube by dwcast25. I actually followed a link by someone(don't ask me who, I can't remember or I would credit them) who was already calling it a fake. However, another DirtyWHOer who shall remain nameless saw the "trailer" and didn't know, and of course like the rest of the whovian throngs, excitedly tweeted it as the BBC Christmas Trailer.
So I'm like: "Nah, duuude. It's just an awesome fake."
And so the other person's like: "Oh."
(how's that for clever script writing? No? ...right. Sorry.)
BUT, to stray back to my point:
It's an AWESOME fake trailer! So keeping that in mind, I post the Trailer version below and below that the even AWESOMER "The Making of" the fake 'Doctor Who: Christmas Special 2010 Trailer - BBC', which is really fun and interesting to watch. He shows from where the various pre-existing elements of this trailer were taken and how he tweaked them.
Terrific job.
Enjoy "The Big Bang 2" song by Charlieissocoollike(on YouTube) otherwise known as Charlie McDonnell (also a member of Chameleon Circuit, a fun "Who" band to check out). Creative lyrics, nice voice, great Ukulele playing, not to mention cute(just my personal opinion, yes...).
An awesome photo of Jon Pertwee with Hartnell, in "Will Any Gentleman...?", a 1953 movie.
I had no idea, being from the States, that this existed. Dying to see it as it sounds like a fun flick as well.
Fab picture!
Thanks to WhoFix.net for posting the picture that came
to my attention via Randall Thomas on FB.
Sort of..
OK, yeah yeah, real funny Graham. (Tosser.) But Tim Burton walking out of the TARDIS? YES Please~!
Watch this opener for the BAFTA awards from last night:
A little (kinda) un-Who related stuff, but, remember us saying we did some fun work with Brian Blessed and he did us a nice plug for the podcast? Well, here's the (rather jolly fun) short that got made as a result.
Personally I'm a big fan of the eighth Doctor, Paul McGann. One of the best first outing performances as the Doctor by an actor. And if you've ever seen the Doctor Who movie (centered around the 8th Doctor's regeneration and his first adventure) you'll enjoy this video. Hitler finds out the Doctor is half human.
In homage to the great Bernard Cribbins, please find attached below for your delectation and delight, the Pixie and the Prof's reimagining of his hit "Hole in the Ground", the Hungry Earth Remix
There I was, a-drilling this hole A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was And there was I, drilling it deep Couldn’t see the bottom and the sides were steep When along comes this bloke in a bow-tie, which he wiggled then scratched his head Well he looked down the hole, poor demented soul and he said
"Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
Don't drill there, drill it elsewhere You’re drilling right down to a Silurian lair The size of it's wrong, it's much too long And you can’t drill a hole where a hole don't belong"
I ask, what a liberty, eh? Nearly bashed him right in the bow-tie
Well there was him, next to me hole Scanning the earth for all that he was worth There was her, standing right there Sucked underground in a flash of red hair So I gave him a look sort of sideways and I leaned on my drill-bit and sighed Well I lit me a fag and having took a drag I replied
I just couldn’t bear, to drill it elsewhere I'm drilling right down ‘cos I don’t really care And if you disagree it doesn't bother me That’s the place where the hole’s gonna be
Well there we were, discussing this hole A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was Well it's not there now, the ground’s all flat And beneath it is the Doctor that’s played by Matt
And that's that Or the alternative ending…
Well it’s not there now, it’s right out of whack, All thanks to Amy and her temporal crack
Or (ahem) the other alternative ending...
Well it's not there now, the Earth's all gone Now we're under the rule of a big Reptilion
Just dropping in some useful links to spoiler vids and general spoilers and/or informative stuff. You know..."stuff". It's a good word.
~Extremely spoilery vids from DoctorWHOtv, all 3 of the released vids jam packed into one jammy spoilery video(personally, I refuse to watch it. I'm spoiler free this week):
Excellent video created by "di0br", whose YouTube channel you can subscribe to here. The editing, scene selections and musical choices are tops! An entertaining and inventive tribute to the 10th regeneration's era. Kudos!
Thank you to @thirtysix who originally tweeted this.
There are others who might be more serious, more obsessed, more canonical, but what can we bring to the DW podcast milieu? - we asked ourselves. Chaos, bad language, tequila, and direct piss-taking seemed more our bag, and goodness knows the world needs more of that.
And so with that, WARNING: serious disrespect, explicit language, and Doctor Who fanaticism enclosed.
