New Animated Dr. Who Series

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rockin-the-tardis dept.

smak writes "To celebrate the doctor's fourtieth anniversary, the BBC and Cosgrove Hall Films are webcasting a fully-animated adventure starring Richard E. Grant. You can watch the first episode of Scream of the Shalka and new episodes will be launched every Thursday. Enjoy." It requires Flash 4, but also looks pretty damn cool.

  1. Flash 4? by clifgriffin · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hate it when a site thinks they are so big and cool and make you upgrade to the latest player.

    What? Flash 3 couldn't cut it. ARE THEY TOO GOOD FOR FLASH 3?! Geez.

    I never watched them either - the theme music at the beginning was just too scary.

    The deep, repetitive da-na-na-nnn, da-na-na-nnn, ... and that whiney twangy thing just freaked me out and I had to change the channel.

    From what I've heard, the props were all so bad that the theme was actually the scariest part of the show. Maybe I should have hung around.

  5. Saturday night live skit by t0qer · · Score: 2, Funny

    I remember this SNL skit about this copier that took a crappy show's script, and made it something better. Case in point on the script was the golden girls got turned into designing women.

    I think if Dr. Who went through the same machine, we would end up with a show starring Scott Bakula as this time traveler that went around solving peoples problems, K-9 would be replaced by ziggy, and Dean Cain would replace the Dr.s female sidekick.

    Not just in England, but in one quarry in England. I mean, what were the odds of that?

    Gee, Doctor, couldn't we cut out a lot of all this travelling about if we'd just move UNIT headquarters there?

    There, there, Jo. I've made a few improvements to Bessie, and we should be there in no time...
