YouTubing It #17
Enlightenment columnist, Time Unincorporated co-editor and resident Australian Robert Smith? pointed this 2006 video out to us from the Australian comedy troupe The Chaser which gives us a tribute to our favourite series by the Wollogong Doctor Who Fan Club President.
It’s savage in its deconstruction of male fans of a certain age and type but it’s done with such inside knowledge that you forgive it everything because a) the nerd voice is pretty much spot on, b) the Robert Holmes line is wonderful as is his completely chronological list of Doctors which includes Peter Cushing and Richard E. Grant and c) they even mention the novels. (Robert Smith? informs me that all of the props and posters used in the song belonged to the performer, Andrew Hansen!)

Ya I found this one a couple of years back and everyonce and a while I revisit it. It still makes me laugh….“It’s hard to get a screw, when you like Doctor Who!”
