YouTubing It #25

The viral video sensations the The Fine Brothers, who have a great comedy schtick in recapping some vast subject in 6 minutes (my favourite are the endings of TV shows), take a shot at the 47 year history of Doctor Who in 6 minutes.

Several million points for excellent research on the origins of the term “regeneration”. Sadly they lose several points saying UNIT always stood for Unified Intelligence Taskforce. But excellent effort.

LOL - Pretty decent.
BBC America should be using this as a promo…the last minute or so, anyway!

Forgive my ignorance, but what did UNIT used to stand for?

UNIT:
United
Nations
Intelligence
Task-force

The UN(?) objected to the use of their name in 2005, but back in the seventies nobody seemed to mind.

The video is fantastic BTW
