Back in 1997, the BBC made a promotion for its recently rebranded service using a music video of the Lou Reed song “Perfect Day” which featured a couple of dozen artists including Lou Reed, David Bowie, Boyzone, Laurie Anderson and others. You can see it here.
Now we have it, using Doctor Who toys. The use of the Ood on the Boyzone part is genius.

0:33 is utter brilliance—the singer at that moment (Bowie?) sounds JUST like the robot from Robots of Death shown on screen!

Yes, that’s Bowie.

I liked the line “I thought I was someone else” and you see four Doctors on screen at once. Some fans are really creative with their work, and their dedication shines through the finish product.

very good!!! i ahvent seen all the toys, but I was so impressed at the quality and detail of them, the faces are amazing .. I couldnt help thinking about how much care the BBC have now put into the show that they ignored for so many years .. the fans always knew it was worth celebrating and having fun with ..
on a completely different note, a question to put out there ...
does anyone know why the Doctor Who Restoration website (a staple for DW DVD news for the last decade or more) is no longer updating their info?
Is the team no longer doing the clean up work on the original series? Or have 2Entertain asked them to not share updates publicly anymore??
Just really curious to know, as I really looked forward to reading about their work, new discoveries, and of course the excitement of seeing the new dvds announced.
A real shame the site is no longer being updated, I hope it is not forever .. a real loss of interesting behind the scenes info on a group of people who are responsible for a whole new generation seeing the original series in such beautiful, cleaned up, enhanced packages.
Thanks
