7. Doctor Who: The ITV Years (2010)
Crossing over On The Buses with Doctor Who, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse present a terrifying vision of what might have been had the Doctor's adventures been an ITV series instead. At the burlesque end of the parody spectrum with its camp characters and bawdy humour, our heroes and villains have been replaced by characters from On The Buses, including bus conductor Blakey as the Master. Surprisingly never a target for Spitting Image, as a British institution the Doctor has nonetheless often featured in alternative comedy shows and an honourary mention must go to Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's Shooting Stars which has a deliciously crazy mock up of the first four Doctors as members of The Who. On another occasion a hilarious acappella version of the Doctor Who theme tune is sung by the two comics. Arguably the most well known of stand up comedians to have spoofed the good Doctor is Lenny Henry. His incarnation of the Doctor, between six and seven, very nearly made this top ten. Also just missing out is a sketch from Dave Allen At Large in which a baptismal font chases a hapless vicar around his church as he dematerialises in his pulpit. Justin Lee Collins' Friday Night Project skit with Alan Carr as the Gaylord is as wild as The ITV Years but not nearly as funny. The attention to detail by Enfield here is wonderful with a fitting TARDIS console decked out in the style of a London bus driver's cabin. There is something quite Galaxy Four about the appearance of the female aliens at the end.
