10 Most British Doctor Who Moments

4. Rubbish Reality TV

2005 finale Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways took Doctor Who’s obsession with British telly to another level, devoting an entire finale to futuristic, deadly versions of 2000s game shows.

Three of these were shown, with the hosts replaced by android versions, all voiced by their real-life counterparts.

First up was a spin on Big Brother – the show in which a group of strangers must live together under constant surveillance, with players “evicted” until there’s just one left. Host Davina McCall became the Davina Droid, with banished players blasted by a “disintegrator" beam (which actually transported them to Dalek saucers).

There was also a version of The Weakest Link – the show in which players must work together to answer a string of questions and bank money, while voting out the weakest contestant in each round. Host Anne Robinson became the Anne Droid, with another “disintegrator beam" emanating from her mouth.

Fashion show What Not to Wear was the last to be parodied, with original hosts Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine reimagined as the robotic Trine-E and Zu-Zana.

It’s a proper time capsule of 2005 telly. Shows of this ilk (and especially the trio included in Bad Wolf) were immensely popular throughout the 2000s, despite many people also acknowledging that they were essentially junk food!

On the downside the inclusion of these parodies does mean that the episode hasn't exactly aged gracefully, with the shows in question having long since stopped being prominent features in the TV guide. But it's certainly fun to look back on.
