CB Tube: Doctorin The Tardis

With all the potential of the Internet, from YouTube to Google Video to all the things in between, who needs television? With that in mind, we present CB Tube, a weekly random selection of whatever appeals to us online. We select, you watch, just like real TV, but we make no promises about entertainment value… just like real TV.

We’ve hit on most of the major science-fiction franchises out there in some shape or form, so it’s time to give Doctor Who its turn on CB Tube. While I’ve not been a fan of the BBC series for long, I do enjoy the more recent voyages of the good Doctor. He’s been around for quite a while, however, as this week’s video reminds us.

The Doctor Who theme music has been through several incarnations, but it was once treated to a Gary Glitter-esque remix, complete with the group “The Timelords” chanting out the Doctor’s name. Add in some cheap Daleks (and this is in comparison to the show’s typically low-budget effects) and you’ve got a catchy, yet laughable music video. Don’t stop the video too soon, even if it starts to feel repetitive. You haven’t experienced it all until you’ve seen the Dalek’s feet and the car-crash solution for their presence.
