Dr Who Children in Need Special SQUEE!

[castalia]

OMG, that was the greatest thing EVER. It was made for me and is the best birthday present I could have gotten. Seriously, the timing of this could not be better.

Five was still FIVE and was cute and had the outfit and the celery and Ten was just such a big fanboy and grinned a lot and OMG.

"Brave choice, celery, but fair play to you; not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable."

"What's wrong with my TARDIS? You've changed the desktop theme, haven't you?" *snerk*

"It could blow a hole in the space time-continuum the size of...well, actually, the exact size of Belgium. That's a bit undramatic, isn't it? Belgium?"

The comparative specs! I nearly died! And a LINDA reference!

Five and Ten: "Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey." HEE!

I thought the beard joke was a bit much (seriously, Moffat, your gay agenda is showing much more than Rusty's), but everything else was made of pure WIN. I wibbled so much when Ten(nant) declared "You were my Doctor". *flail*

"Pretty sort of marvelous" indeed. So much love. So much that I've run out of exclamation points.

Happiest of birthday my friend. Hope the coming year brings what you want (a neat job somewhere wonderful)

It was a great 5 minutes wasn't it?

Yep. I just watched it on YouTube. And Tennat was a very happy fan boy.

Can you explain this better for me? I don't get the plotline, or even what show this is, lol.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. *g* Well, how much do you know about Dr Who? Basically they did a short sketch for charity (Children in Need) and stuffed it in the timeline between the last episode of the season we just finished and the upcoming Christmas special. The TARDIS (the Doctor's time ship) poked a hole in the space-time continuum somehow and we ended up with two "versions" of the Doctor: Ten, the current incarnation, and Five, Peter Davison from waaaay back in the day. :)

They've done this sort of thing before, wanting the Doctor to meet himself/his other regenerations. The current actor, David Tennant, watched the Fifth Doctor when he was young, so he's adopted several mannerisms as a tribute to that, and a lot in this sketch was a chance for him to say that and basically be a bit of a fanboy. Pure cheese, just for fun, but it made for a great sketch.

Does that help any? *g* This is a hard show to explain.

OK, what I basically needed to know was that it was a charity filler, not something going on in the regular plotline. :-)

I was a big Who fan back in the early/mid '80s when the Baker/Davison eps were on. Didn't much like the docs that came after them so I skipped most of 6 - 7, didn't watch much of 9, and have seen about a third of 10s, all out of order, lol.

Well, it might actually count as canon, as they cleverly bookended the sketch with scenes from the last episode - Martha leaving, then the sketch, then the Titanic thing. But of course, not necessary to the plotline.

10 is my favorite of the New Who, but I'd like to see more of the older ones. I hear great things about 7.
