10 Most British Doctor Who Moments

4. Rubbish Reality TV On The Game Station

2005 finale Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways took Doctor Who’s obsession with British telly to another level, devoting an entire finale on 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 link” in each round. 

Host Anne Robinson became the Anne Droid, the robotic delivery making her characteristic put-downs all the more acerbic, and 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. And you just know that if they did anything like this again, we’d 100% get a pastiche of The Traitors, complete with the “Claudia Droid”. Which, let’s be honest, we’d all love to see.
