Quotes

Michael Buerk: I'm speaking to you tonight on behalf of Newsreaders in Need. Please please please stop making us dress up in leather mini-skirts and mime out-of date show tunes, under the pretext of being a bit zany for charity. It isn't zany, it's bollocks. It's bad enough Andrew Marr looking like a freak all year round, without the rest of us joining in. Please stop it.

I Did Like The DOCTOR WHO Stuff
9 April 2003 | by (Isle Of Bute , Scotland) – See all my reviews

I did remember DEAD RINGERS from BBC radio . I didn't think much of it except for the DOCTOR WHO stuff which was very funny , and I have the exact same feeling about the TV series.

Man dressed as the mysterious timelord known only as " The Doctor " ( 4th incarnation as played by Tom Baker ) goes on the millennium wheel in London and shouts to a bunch of Japanese tourists that " I know what this is . It's a Sontaran incubation centre used for hatchlings for their war against the Rutans ! " Cut to a crowd of bemused Japanese tourists . " The Doctor " also visits a working mans' club where he's the star guest and plays his favourite songs which include the Keller machine sound effect as seen in 1971 story The Mind Of Evil . Cut to a bemused audience

But many of the sketches are tedious and are endlessly set around George Dubya Bush . I don't want to sound like an apologist for the American Republican party but how much mileage can you get out of the man's seemingly limited intellect ? It was the same throughout the 1980s when comedians went on about Ronald Reagen and didn't realise they were flogging a dead horse . And DEAD RINGERS suffers from some very intrusive and oh so obvious canned laughter
