Doctor Who: The Name Of The Doctor: First Draft Parody Script

Opens with a complicated set on Galifrey with two nameless engineers. We then cut to a jarringly simple set using stock footage of the first Doctor.

Clara

Not that Tardis Doctor, take this one.

Tardis

But I’m the one who chose him?

1^st Doctor

Listen ladies, I would feel a lot more rebellious if I was not doing what others told me to do.

Cut to earth 1893

Madame Vastra

I must call everyone to a meeting.

Jenny

Based on the word of a mad man?

Madame Vastra

Isn’t that always the way?

They gather together in a dream.

River Song

This is a really easy way to gather together for plot progression. Why don’t we do it more often? It’s less risky than travelling.

Jenny

I’m not so sure of that I think I’ve been murdered.

Madame Vastra

Noooo!

Strax

Don’t worry boy. People “die” and then return all the time. Death isn’t the hindrance it used to be.

Great Intelligence

If the Doctor wants to rescue his friends he must come to tell the Doctor to come Trenzalore.

Clara

Do you ever think that you are putting too much pressure on yourself by choosing the name of “Great intelligence”?

Great Intelligence

Hmmm I have never considered that… Doh!

#####

Clara

Stop being stupid the kids have left you to play blind mans bluff alone.

Doctor

But I’m the Doctor I have lived for over 900 years.

Clara

Well you and the Great Intelligence will have a magnificent battle of wits. He says that you have to go to some place called Trenzalore

Doctor

Great Scott! That’s the location of my grave. A time traveller must never go there.

Clara

Woah Doc this is heavy.

They travel to Trenzalore with the Tardis fighting it all of the way.

Doctor

What’s the problem darling.

Tardis

Look at the grave, I don’t want to see this.

Great Intelligence

Tell us your name and Open the Tardis! Doctor Who?

Doctor

In 50 years no one has ever cared this much.

The doors open to reveal a big swirling light.

Clara

How original.

Great Intelligence

I will head into the Doctors timeline to erase him from history.

Strax

How is that strategically a good idea? Why not kill him now so that all the villains that he has already defeated won’t come back? They could become your deadly rivals.

Great Intelligence

The universe won’t fall apart completely from the lack of just one man.

The stars start to disappear

Madame

Wow in all the universe there has only been one saviour? How did the Doctor not have a messiah complex?

Clara enters the time stream to save the Doctor

Clara

Ooh clips form the old series this is definitely worth the risk.

Doctor

I must go into my time stream and save her.

River Song

You can’t cross your own time stream that’s crazy.

Doctor

Time can be rewritten. Thankfully so can the rules this series as well.

Clara

I don’t know where I am.

Doctor

Grab this leaf it will bring you back. Good now let’s make like a tree and… uh oh.

Clara

Who is he?

Doctor

A low key but exciting cliff hanger.

Clara

I think time might slow before the 50^th anniversary.

Doctor

I think you’re right. Geronimo!

Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War: First Draft Parody Script

A parody review of Dr Who A Good Man Goes To War. A fantastic episode with a great cliff hanger.

It's complicated and I'm not talking about this fancy cot mobile

Opens with Rory the Roman threatening the Cybermen.

Rory

My name is Rory Lazarus Williams. Nurse of the NHS. Loyal to the true sci fi hero the Doctor. Father of a kidnapped child husband to an angry wife. And I shall have my vengeance. In this life or the next.

Cybermen

O…k. Why are you telling us this?

Rory

To make you believe I’m threatening despite my strange outfit. To make you tell me where I can find my wife And besides I’ve always wanted to say that.

Cybermen

Any outfit you’d wear would be strange to us this is probably the best choice.

Rory

Good point. But since you didn’t help straight away we’re going to blow up your fleet.

*****

Doctor

I’m calling in some favours.

Dorium

After all the horrors you’ve faced you finally want some help? This must be dangerous? Can’t I just draw a map rather than show you the way there in person?

Doctor

Just keep your head and you’ll be fine.

*****

Colonel Manton

The Doctor will be coming with vengeance. We’d better say our prayers.

Madam Kovarian

We’re not going to. We are the demons remember.

Colonel Manton

So what’s with the Headless Monks?

Mad

It’s complicated.

The soldiers gather on Demons Run for a stirring speech.

Colonel Manton

You are the best soldiers. We will defeat the Doc…

Doctor

Hello.

Colonel Manton

My most hated enemy. I should kill you on sight.

Doctor

But you won’t even if all of your research about me shows your hesitation is a mistake.

Colonel Manton

We are not crazy fools. We will not be tricked just because you’re in fancy dress.

A soldier shoots a Headless Monk.

Colonel Manton

We are not crazy fools! Disarm!

Lots of Judoon and Silurians beam in.

Doctor

I love it when a plan comes together.

*****

Rory

Amy!

Amy

Rory J

Doctor

Amy!

Amy

You sure took you’re time.

Doctor

Timey wimey?

Amy

Ok then I can’t stay mad at you.

Later in the storm cage command centre.

Madam Vestra

They were manipulating Melody to become a weapon against you. You’ve become too dangerous.

Doctor

“Demons run when a good man goes to war” didn’t you hear I’m a good man? Although the universe was destroyed due to my Tardis. I’m sure glad the Silurians, Sontarans and Judoon have forgiven me for that. But the Daleks might prove trickier to reconcile with.

Dorium

But this was too easy. It must be a trap.

Doctor

You go and find out while I bravely stay here and have a chat with the villain.

*****

Lorna

It’s a trap!

Amy

Why should we believe you? Look at your uniform.

Lorna

And? You’re still in your nightie, this isn’t the fairy tale series anymore.

The lights dim and the Headless Monks start their chant.

Lorna

Maybe we can talk to them, does anyone know Latin?

Cmmander Strax

Rory the Roman you must know some?

Rory

It was a long time ago.

They face the Headless Monks in one of Dr Who’s best fight scenes. Sword fighting is cool. But Amy’s baby disintegrates as it is a ganger.

Audience

Wait the last two episodes showed that gangers are sentient too. Is this the first case of Dr Who infanticide? This really is a scary show.

Doctor

Amy, Rory! Mrelody is a…bad timing again?

Amy

Yeah. Melody is gone and most of your army is dead.

River Song

Hello sweetie.

Amy

You turn up now when I’m at my most angry?

Doctor

Please Amy let me have my moment first. You turn up now when I am at my most angry?

River Song

It’s time for my big revelation. Some smug fans will say they already guessed it but I doubt many were a 100% sure. And they only guessed it after a really big clue. If they’d guessed it at the beginning of season 5 I might be impressed.

Doctor

Who are you?

River Song

Look at the writing on the cot.

Audience members that haven’t been paying much attention

You’re his mother?

River Song

Yuk that’s disgusting. No!

Doctor

I know who you are he he.

Looks guiltily at Amy and Rory.

Doctor

I’m out of here.

Amy

We could have easily stopped the Dr but I want you to tell us who you are.

River Song

I’m your daughter. I’m melody.

Amy

What?

Rory

Doctor!

Doctor Who: Day Of The Moon: First Draft Parody Script

Opens with our travellers being chased  by Canton.

Rory

A three month gap? That’s never good. In Star Trek they were always losing during the three month gaps.

Amy

Why are you doing this?

Canton

To take advantage of location shooting. We should use it when we have it.

*****

Doctor

Canton you're building the perfect prison… well besides the Pandorica. It’s a good job you managed to sneak my invisible Tardis in here.

Canton

Yeah for all of the Tardis security features it sure is easy to move. 

Doctor

Well I can’t have it getting me out of trouble all the time. It needs to be stolen occasionally.

*****

Rory

They’re everywhere. Everywhere! It’s an occupation!

Doctor

Which is why we’ll split up to record vocal information. They’ll never catch on to it and vaporise us one by one.

Rory

How quaint. What about a portable projector to keep their image on the Tardis wall so we’d remember what we have learnt? Or we could keep pictures of them in our wallets, on our watch…

Doctor

Don’t start that again.

Canton and Amy go to an orphanage where the manager has forgotten it’s been closed for two years… So have the lawyers, estate agents, child agencies, his family, friends and utility suppliers. The Silence sure are thorough.

Amy

Wandering around alone in the dark sure is fun when you’re looking for dangerous aliens. Whait my recorders flashing, I’ll go out the window. Ahh! That’s a scary image. Shouldn’t we be worried about the kids?

Writer Steven Moffat

No its ok this is culture.

Amy

Culture?

Writer Steven Moffat

Yeah we’re exporting British culture to America remember?

The impossible girl astronaut appears.

The impossible girl astronaut

Help!

Amy

Sorry to shoot at you before. Luckily I’m a lousy shot.

The impossible girl astronaut appears

I hope that’s not genetic.

The Doctor and Rory arrive.

Rory

Where’s Amy?

Canton

Sorry I was failing to get information out of the manager when it happened.

Silence

We are the silence. Silence will fall.

Rory

Great. We don’t need to worry then.

Silence

No I didn’t mean… never mind you’ll forget what I say anyway.

Doctor

So humans decided to go to the moon because the Silence wanted a spacesuit?

Rory

That doesn’t make any sense the Russians proved they had working space suits first.

Doctor

Yes but it would have been harder to film and market to Russia.

*****

Canton

Say something incriminating to this camera I’m clearly holding.

Silence

We’re called the Silence we don’t just talk for the sake of it.

Canton

Amuse me.

Silence

Oh ok. Kill us on sight. Do not hesitate, show no mercy then dispose of our bodies so that you don’t remember us again.

Canton

Wow that was a lot better than I expected.

The Doctors lands inside the Tardis of the Silence.

Doctor

Want to watch the moon landing on television? You should, you helped it happen which does devalue the achievement somewhat.

Silence

It is worse than that. We have been influencing humans since they made fire.

Doctor

What? Then why haven’t I met you before?

Silence

We’re quite.

Doctor

Well not any more.

Video Recording of Silence

Kill us on sight.

Silence

That idiot!

River Song

You’re a big scary alien no ones shot you on sight before?

Silence

Amazingly not.

River Song

So you’re not prepared for me then.

River shoots them all while the Doctor distracts her with his screwdriver.

River Song

Yeah thanks for the help honey. Didn't I shoot efficiently considering I forget them the moment I take my eyes off them. Gosh I hope my old fella didn’t see me do that.

Rory

If I wasn’t so astonished I might read something into what you just said.

****

President Nixon

We’re safe now then?

Doctor

Kind of. I’d keep recording conversations though.

Amy

So I guess we’re now going to look for the girl in the spacesuit?

Writer Steven Moffat

Haha yeah right. I’ wil tease you with the girls regeneration though.

Doctor

Well I really think I need a holiday. How about a cruise?

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!
