Doctor Who - The Curse of Fatal Death

Buy This Item Doctor Who - The Curse of Fatal Death by BBC Warner  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 11-27-2008     For an entire generation who hid behind the sofa during the scary bits, jokes about <I>Doctor Who</I> are almost inescapably funny. "The Curse of Fatal Death," an extended sketch for Comic Relief, stars more unlikely actors and comedians as the Doctor than anyone could have imagined plausible--Rowan Atkinson, to begin with, and both Hugh and Richard E. Grant. The last-named performance indeed gives one uncomfortable thoughts about roads not taken, as does Jonathan Pryce's remarkable tribute to Roger Delgado as the Master. The tape is filled out with an informative behind-the-scenes documentary and three <I>Doctor Who</I>-related sketches by Victoria Wood and Jim Broadbent, by Lenny Henry, and by French and Saunders. This last sketch, never before shown, with French and Saunders as extras playing reptilian aliens, is particularly hilarious. <I>--Roz Kaveney</I> Reader Reviews rowan atkinson should have played the doctor in one of the real series. he's wonderful even if much of the writing depends on flatulent humour. regardless, with this cast, a dvd is really required. get to it, auntie beeb!
