@@ereynolds72 Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme broadcast by the BBC since 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being who appears to be human. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. The TARDIS exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. With various companions, the Doctor combats foes, works to save civilisations and helps people in need. Beginning with William Hartnell, thirteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor; in 2017 Jodie Whittaker became the first woman to officially play the role on television. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show with the concept of regeneration into a new incarnation, a plot device in which a Time Lord "transforms" into a new body when the current one is too badly harmed to heal normally. Each actor's portrayal is unique, but all represent stages in the life of the same character, and together, they form a single lifetime with a single narrative. The time-travelling feature of the plot means that different incarnations of the Doctor occasionally meet. The show is a significant part of British popular culture, and elsewhere it has gained a cult following. It has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. Fans of the series are sometimes referred to as Whovians. The programme is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world, as well as the "most successful" science fiction series of all time, based on its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, and iTunes traffic. The programme originally ran from 1963 to 1989. There was an unsuccessful attempt to revive regular production in 1996 with a backdoor pilot, in the form of a television film titled Doctor Who. The programme was relaunched in 2005, and since then has been produced in-house by BBC Wales in Cardiff. Doctor Who has also spawned numerous spin-offs, including comic books, films, novels, audio dramas, and the television series Torchwood (2006-2011), The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007-2011), K-9 (2009-2010), and Class (2016). It has been the subject of many parodies and references in popular culture.
I feel like "In fiction I should imagine" is the weakest line in the sketch. It's like in American TV shows where they have fake news reporters and they try to make them silly, just takes you out of it a tiny bit
I am in two minds about it. I love Mitchell and Webb Look and have watched it dozens of times over the years, but I would be worried a continuation/reboot wouldn't live up to the original. It has been 12 years and I'm sure they have changed a lot.
But first a look at tomorrow's front pages. The Mail leads with "Scientists prove link between alien death ray and Cancer". While the Indy goes with "House prices soar as Leyton houses incinerated'. The Express has taken a different angle: "Diana and Dodi alive and well on alien mothership: report"
It's difficult to think how ITV would report it as they seem to be at fever pitch over everything. "A 1% increase in the price of Ribena has been announced, we look at how devastating this will be for YOU"
Still better than all other british media, which will simply descend into vile racist shitspewing, and therefore be indistinguishable in their coverage of every other issue.
It's 2019 and the small pockets of human resistance still alive have discovered the robot crabs can only run sideways. We survive by running straight ahead.
They bring their own pets and perishable vegetables and fruits and throw them into the ecosystem with impunity. The Australian tax payers will have to pony up the cash for getting rid of all it before flora and fauna interact with it and create flesh eating plants as well as dodo birds (yepp they brought it back from extinction those aliens) who can sell a house on Bondi Beach faster than any real estate agent. And the dodo does it for half the commission. It just wants food and shelter and the profits are deposited into trust funds for their children. Because it's tough being a resurrected species in today's job market.
@@zapkvr I'll admit I'm not Australian and the house hunting in Bondi Beach reality show is my only frame of reference to what an expensive neighborhood in Australia is. And that show was on like fifteen years ago? I'm sure St. Kilda and Apollo Bay have taken its place.
Well, that would be easy: Clouds of smoke all over the planet, plummeting temperatures and no seasons for the next couple of years. Thank you and good night - for a long, long time.
And then comes the "Event" - please remain indoors :) But i agree i could imagine a longer version of this - 90mins or so. Its a sort of limited space, some external reports and then the slowly escaping staff and the breaking down quality, losing the functioning of greenscreen... and then shutting down the broadcast, but the news anchors not knowing that... it could be a pretty strong drama
Gotta say, I'm not usually a fan of dark comedy, but for some reason I love this. I suspect it's because there are some things you can only do if you're British, and this might just be one of them. Stay British, you guys.
This isn't dark comedy, it's satire. Comedy isn't dark just because it alludes to death or killing. It has to be more specific, like jokes about cancer, or topics even more difficult to discuss. Aliens invading isn't an uncomfortable subject. It's literally discussed and joked about all the time.
"...for any of you who are for some reason more interested in the news than in what some people who don't know THINK about the news..." We're a dying breed.
Only thing missing is the cringeworthy forced facebook and twitter connectivity of shows today, which the host usually has no idea how to operate or pronounce any aspect of :XX "'Oh and on twatter #invasion is quickly becoming THE trending topic of the day. Rihanna posted..."
"Say what you like about the alien killer crabs, but they can certainly organise an invasion. We have a lot to learn from them though we had better be quick" 😂😂😂
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
What's that building in the background that looks like the U.S. Capitol? The rest looks like the Thames River and the architecture of the other buildings look right, but I don't recognize that other building.

The aliens have a thing for redheads.
To be honest if the world was reduced to a bleak, dire realm of pain and suffering, Catherine Tate is exactly what I'd expect to see on the TV.
Its always Catherine Tate
Will the suffering never end?!
ofcourse lol

You have to admire the newsreaders for maintaining their composure and staying professional.
You, morningstar, we need to have a chat.....
I feel like it’s what I’d want to do in an utterly hopeless situation. Accept the end and go out snarking to the bitter end.
It's fake, there was no alien invasion it's a sketch. You can trust me, I went to London last year...
@@DoesThisWork888 That's because of the tireless work of the Tory government to ensure that the aliens stay confined to Calais.

And the best bit is that this is exactly how an alien invasion would be reported in the UK, by the BBC at least!
It's difficult to think how ITV would report it as they seem to be at fever pitch over everything. "A 1% increase in the price of Ribena has been announced, we look at how devastating this will be for YOU"
Still better than all other british media, which will simply descend into vile racist shitspewing, and therefore be indistinguishable in their coverage of every other issue.
"We are running out of time, both on the program and just generally." LOL.
Remember, when aliens DO attack it's vitally important to add your name to any petitions that crop up on your Facebook timeline.
say what you like about the killer crabs, but by god they can organize an invasion..
hilarious!
Though we better be quick.
Leave it to the Brits to be polite even about invading extraterrestrials
It's 2019 and the small pockets of human resistance still alive have discovered the robot crabs can only run sideways. We survive by running straight ahead.
Aha, so the Prometheus school of running away from things *is* an effective strategy ... as long as the enemy is robot crabs. Cool :)
Don't forget they can at least be slowed by butter sauce
Are you sure that's wise, sir?
I'm slightly concerned that the Mitchell and Webb doomsday sketches are cropping up in my recommendeds

Over a decade later Netflix made "Don't look Up". An entire movie based on this premise.
