Titolo: New Doctor Who Announced

It's Mo Mowlam, former Northern Ireland Secretary, according to last night's
Harry Hill show. I have my doubts, even if she did break up that fight
between Jarvis Cocker and Jay Kay of Jamiroquis (almost certainly got that
spelling wrong but, oddly, don't care) in an inflatable castle. Nice to see
Lethbridge-Stewart back in command of UNIT, too. 
You'd never guess that the faintly Who obsessed Stewart Lee (of Lee and
Herring) was Hill's script editor, would you?

Care to tell us Yanks what you're talking about?
I was trying to be a little bit obtuse to try and kickstart this list a bit
but, as you asked so nicely, I'll tell you. 
Harry Hill is a comedian whose style could reasonably be described as
surreal. After his successful "Harry Hill's Fruit Fancies" series on BBC
Radio 4 and the less successful version on BBC TV, Channel 4 signed him up
for "The Harry Hill Show." The third season started last night and it's just
as demented as ever. I recall in the first season, he sang the Who's "Who
are You?" while dressed as Tom Baker and beating up assorted DW monsters in
front of a police box that descended from above on a large rope. Later in
the series, we cut to Peter Davison and a cyberman in the hospitality room
discussing the events of "Earthshock."
"So you see," says Davison, "I wasn't out to get you, I was just trying to
save the Earth." 
"Oh," says the cyberman. "You mean, it wasn't anything personal, then?" 
In last night's show, they reported Mo Mowlam had been signed up as the new
Doctor and cut to Nick Courtney in full brigadier's uniform saying how
delighted UNIT were at Mowlam's new role and how pleased they were to have
received a commemorative glass bowl. At which point, a cyberman entered the
shot in the background and... well, it's a very silly programme. 
On the Terry Nation front, the show's finale, "Spacestation Badger," had
borrowed more than a few stylistic trappings from "Blake's 7." 
Educationally, 


UNIT, too.

Didn't know Stewart Lee was a who fan... (or that he's Harry Hill's
S.E.). Isn't Jarvis Cocker one too?
And that Al Murray owes me 7 quid...

I'd buy THAT for a dollar!
Anyone have any of this on tape?

Well, it was Clare Short, but...
</Pedantic>
And I've probably spelt her name wrong :-) However, it was very funny,
and Courtney was great! I've always though Lee and Herring were fans,
they used it a lot in their material.  I think most surrealist comedians
are.  Vic and Bob... even Eddie Izzard has a fondness for the show.
On the flipside, I think a lot of Doctor Who fans love
surreal/alternative comedy.  How many here like things like Monty
Python, The Goons, Eddie Izzard, Douglas Adams, Not the Nine O'Clock
New, Eddie Izzard, Vic and Bob, League of Gentleman, Big Train?

All of 'em.  All of 'em.  Although I've never heard of Vic and Bob, and
League of Gentlemen has never been shown in Canada

I'm a major fan of Monty Python (or at least I think I am), and am
reasonably fond of Douglas Adams, but have heard of only two of the
others - The Goons (long time ago, didn't hear much) and Not the Nine
O'Clock News (in a book on the Pythons and What They Did Before, etc.).
Howsomever, if the others are anything at all like the two I know about,
I'm quite likely to like them as well.
