Funniest moments in Dr Who DVD Commentaries


Terminus is pretty funny throughout, but the jokes from Sarah Sutton about how the Garm looks like Hector from Hector's House are fantastic. "Oh, I'm just a silly old Hector!"

If you must blink, do it now.

Most of Arc of Infinity is a riot especially the anecdote of some Japanese businessmen in Amsterdam mistaking Janet Fielding for being on the game and offering her money....to which Colin Baker reminded a disgusted Peter Davison that "a gentleman would've negotiated on her behalf"!

Black Orchid is much the same, especially when Peter teases Janet that her skimpily-attired character should "turn around and do us all a favour"!

I suppose such remarks would be denounced by some as terribly 'politically incorrect'....along with and lots of accusatory words ending in 'ist for good measure no doubt. Probably why I found such banter so funny!

Pretty much anything in 'The Seeds of Death' when Terrance Dicks is speaking. Especially some cut bits that only made it into the subtitles.

'Vengeance of Varos' in general, but in particular when Nabil Shaban describes Sil as being "a cross between a tadpole and a turd", and later when a cannibal touches a poisonous vine and dies and Colin Baker lauds his performance saying "Under the circumstances, he deserves an Oscar..."

Take them to the security kitchen!

I quite like in the Visitation where they're making fun of Michael Robbins thinking himself above Who after his years 'on the buses'

Yes indeed, Matthew Waterhouse was audibly disgusted by Robbins' snobbery I recall, as indeed those of us who've seen 'On the Buses' would surely be too!

Evidently Robbins' found more satisfaction as an actor crudely insulting Olive/Anna Karen's appearance week in week out for four years.....there really is no accounting for taste is there! 

It's a bad pun, but I do remember the Tequila joke from The War Games commentary.

Forget which DVD , but Lalla Ward tells a story of how she, Tom Baker and an actor friend went to see Alien when it first opened _ when it got to the point where they were debating how to kill the alien, Tom who was apparently unimpressed ,said in a bellowing voice " why don't you go down there and bore it to death "




A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free

One that comes to mind is in Black Orchid in Part 1 where Peter Davison in a questionable tone of voice tells how dodgy the whole setup is with the whole cricket game scene with them expecting a man called Smutty to turn up. 
