Doctor Who Fan Has Themed Funeral

Posted by samzenpus on from the There's-no-point-in-being-grown-up-if-you-can't-be-childish-sometimes dept.

The Grim Reefer2 writes "Sebastian Neale, a 26-year-old from South Wales and mega-fan of the Doctor Who series, passed away recently due to head injuries and was given a proper Dr. Who-themed send-off. The funeral music was swapped out in favor of the Dr. Who's theme song and mourners were greeted with the Doctor's words, 'I'm a time lord ... I'm not a human being. I walk in eternity.' Instead of Bible verses, the funeral consisted of quotes from classic Who scripts, including William Hartnell's famous speech from 'The Dalek Invasion Of Earth': 'One day, I will come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.'"

    Look at the massive arms on that chick in the background. They look like two giant cooked turkeys. I bet she could slap me round a bit. MmMmmMMm

    At least try for The Fourth, who had quality Companions.

    Oh come on! The bit where the crematorium doors close, there is a whorp...whorp.. noise and then they open to show he had "dematerialized" would have been good.
