Doctor Who: The Marriage Of River Song: First Draft Parody Script



Opens with various shots of our world which show that time is in a mess. Hmm déjà vu… Still it does look good and we do get a funny interview with Charles Dickens.

Winston Churchill
What has happened to time? Explain it to me simply so that the audience and I can understand.

Doctor
Timey wimey.

Winston Churchill
No you can be more complex than that.

We get flashbacks of the Doctor collecting more information on the Silence.

Dalek
Hi.

Dalek
Just hi? No threats?

Doctor
I don’t want you to leave, we’ve been off screen too long. Why?

Doctor
You get defeated too easily we need to build the threat back up. Now shut up! I’ve come to yank information out of your smashed defeated body.

*****

Doctor
Dorium you’re alive!

Dorium
Yes and I’m the only head who could afford a comfortable box. Now you must be seeking the ultimate question?

Doctor
Be serious! We need that for the anti climatic end to the episode.

We go back to the Utah lake to watch the Doctor get killed.

Doctor
Can’t you walk out of the lake quicker we’ve already had enough flash back scenes in the pre credit sequence.

River Song
Patience sweetie I’m going to rewrite this fixed point in time.

Doctor
But that’s impossible... Probably… I do seem to come up with a lot of rules that get are later broken.

*****

Doctor
Did you have to stun me?

Amy
What can I say? I like an entrance! So what’s going on this time?

Doctor
All of history is happening at the same time. Well the parts of history which we can recycle props for.

Amy
All at once? Shouldn’t the earth be really overpopulated and deadly?

Doctor
Well…?

Amy
Shall we just go to the secret plot advancing base?

Doctor
Yes please.

They go to area 52 which is inside a pyramid. This is a cool idea, it’s a shame the set isn’t as grand as the special effects.

Captain Williams
The Silence are as quite as usual Marm.

Amy
Good, good. Carry on Brad Pitt. I mean Rory Williams.

River Song
Hello Doctor, do you want to do the usual flirting.

Doctor
Sure for once we have plenty of time.

Madame Kovarian
Oh no not the flirting. I should have raised River better than this. Kill me please!

Amy
Ok.


Madame Kovarian
No I wasn’t being serious besides that’s too dark for your character. Ahh!

Cut to the top of the pyramid where a distress signal is being sent out.

Doctor
But whose going to help me. I know the majority of people like me but who?

River Song
You must  not die without knowing you are loved.

Doctor
Thanks for risking the world to tell me that. Now before I die we’ll bind hands with my bow tie. Now Rory do you consent?

Rory
How can I properly consent if I don’t know what it is?

Doctor
Just do it! You too Amy.

Amy
Ok.

Doctor
That’s it River we are now husband and wife.

River
That’s my wedding? But I didn’t get a fancy dress, beautiful flowers, admiration from friends, a big party….

Doctor
No but it sure is a lot cheaper this way.

They kiss and the doctor “dies” at last.

Amy
*Sob* The Doctor’s dead.

River Song
Oh mummy don’t be silly. There’s plenty of life in the Dr Who series yet. I just killed a Teselecta version of him. Now let’s all have some family time at last.

Audience
That’s a bit of a cheat and we’re not talking about cheating time… We can’t wait to the Christmas special. Just, no more disappointments please

Dorium
So you survived. But the first question. The most important question in the Universe still remains. Doctor Who? Dr Who?

Audience
You can not be serious!

Doctor Who: The Impossible Astronaut: First Draft Parody Script

A great start to the new series. Here's a parody review.




Opens with a the Doctor having lots of fun as he goofs around through history

Rory
The Doctor sure seems to be enjoying himself without us. Why did he leave us here again?

Amy
So that we can have fun alone as a married couple… in this village that I find really dull.

Rory
Great isn’t it?

Amy
Hooray we got a Doctor like invitation. Lets get out of here.

*****

Doctor
Howdy Ponds I wear a Stetson now. Stetsons are cool.

Audience
Yes they are.

River Song
Well I disagree. *Bang*

Rory
That was ridiculously dangerous. Bad River!

River Song
Sorry Rory.

*****

Doctor
Let’s check our diaries.

Rory
How quaint we find smart phones work better.

River Song
We keep meeting each other in the wrong time order. Synchronisation would be a nightmare.

They go to lake Powell for a picnic.

Rory
Look! An Apollo astronaut is walking out of the lake. Impossible!

Amy
Compared to being erased from time, being turned into a robot and then seeing the universe rebooted?

Rory
Ok good point. Well it killed the Doctor that’s impossible.

River Song
Clearly but it will make for a good mystery for the run of this series.

*****



Doctor
Hello sorry to keep you waiting I was just in the restroom shower. What’s wrong with your faces you look like you’ve shared a bad dream.

Amy
I don’t understand.

River Song
Come on Amy this show is about time travel, work it out.

Amy
The new audience River. Think about the new audience.

Doctor
Right we’re landing in the Whitehouse in 1969 rather than parking somewhere discreet like I usually do. I’ll turn the Tardis invisible. Although it is a big drain on power.

River Song
Compared to travelling across millions of light years?

Doctor
Give me a break Star Trek has the same problem.

The Doctor exits into the Oval office and looks confused at being exactly where he planned to be.

President Nixon
How did you get in here? Canton get your gun out.

Canton
No. I’m too curious.

Doctor
Don’t arrest us. I can sort out those nuisance calls you’re getting.

President Nixon
You can put on call blocking?

Doctor
Well yes… but I think rescuing a girl and saving the world would be far more interesting. Now from these maps I can tell where she is.

Rory
How quaint we use google maps which is far mor…

Doctor
Quite you.

They travel with Canton to a creepy abandoned building.

Doctor
Look at all this cool retro space gear.

River Song
Come on Doctor we’re on a mission. Oh I can’t wait I’ll check out this dangerous underground space ship alone… Woah scary looking aliens I’ll have to turn around and tell the others… something.?

Rory
So you saw nothing?

River Song
Yep come on down. It’s time I got to know you better.

*****

Canton
Bigger on the inside I accept that. But Dr Who exactly?

Amy
That’s the first time the series title has been spoken in a way that feels natural. Shame we have to have all the other references though.

Girl
Help!

Amy
Doctor wait I need to tell you something really important.

Doctor
So important you didn’t tell me 5 minutes ago?

Amy
I’m pregnant.

Doctor
That could have waited.

Amy
Not for this dramatic ending.

Bang!
