DOCTOR WHO: THE CURSE OF FATAL DEATH
Monday, June 29, 2009
In 1999 the BBC broadcast the following Doctor Who parody, The Curse of Fatal Death, as part of the Red Nose Day charity event for Comic Relief. It's crude but pretty funny stuff, featuring an amazing cast that includes Rowan Atkinson, Jonathan Pryce and a host of other folks I can't name without spoiling the ending. It was written by Coupling creator Steven Moffat, who would go on to write some of the most memorable episodes of the new Doctor Who series and is actually taking over as the series' executive producer for departing showrunner Russell T. Davies.
It would appear that the BBC doesn't object to these clips being online, but they can be real bullies about copyright so it's possible they'll take this down at any time. Enjoy The Curse of Fatal Death while you can.
