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: 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!
