For an entire generation who hid behind the sofa during the scary bits, jokes about Doctor Who are almost inescapably funny. The Curse of Fatal Death, an extended sketch for Comic Relief, stars more unlikely actors and comedians as the Doctor than anyone could have imagined plausible–Rowan Atkinson, to begin with, and both Hugh and Richard E Grant. The last-named performance indeed gives one uncomfortable thoughts about roads not taken…as does Jonathan Pryce’s remarkable tribute to Roger Delg

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you won’t believe its not real…,
Well fellow Doctor fans, it’s all there. The crashing synthesisers. The maniacal laughter. The bad sets. The corridors.The plot twists. The Master. The Daleks. The drama. The tension! This little effort is a gem that the Doctor would wear proudly, and better still its all in a good cause. A loving satire that will have every true fan rolling on the floor. A magnificent tribute to a genre that will hopefully never die…I won’t spoil it by telling you the end, but let me just say that Joanna Lumley gets my vote. As for the rest of the tape, its devoted to Doctor sketches by other greats of British comedy, and its just as good. French and Saunders were clearly connoisseurs. Highly recommended.

|For all lovers of classic Dr. Who,
This is absolutely great watching, and listening. Only lovable and memorable series get great spoofs made, and The Doctor obviously deserves one. I loved the Master act (excellent nasty laugh), the included time travel and obviously the lovely same corridors.
And don’t forget we even get the Daleks here, answering questions that I have always wondered about when I was a child. I mean, why do they always change their mind at the last minute about exterminating him and his friend? And nice Daleky Daleks they are. An excellent piece of work.
