10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Other TV Shows - Commenter Edition

Ricky Gervais' critically-acclaimed comedy series Extras wasn't afraid to poke fun at some absolute Hollywood legends like Patrick Stewart, Ben Stiller, and Samuel L. Jackson, so nothing was off-limits when Gervais was picking his targets.

Doctor Who became one of those targets in the show's 2007 Christmas special, when Gervais' character Andy Millman - a down-on-his-luck background actor - reluctantly takes a role in the Whoniverse as an alien called "Schlong".

Clearly intended to mock Doctor Who's often questionable production values and unconvincing monster costumes, Schlong - who somewhat resembles the Abzorbaloff from NuWho's second series - is ultimately defeated by the Tenth Doctor, who, hilariously, is actually played by David Tennant.

The whole thing is intentionally stupid and laughable, with the Doctor vanquishing his mighty foe by hitting him with table salt. Full credit to Tennant though, who somehow manages to sell the sci-fi babble he's been given, and Gervais, who over-acts his socks off to a rather amusing degree.

Ultimately though, Schlong was simply no match for the Time Lord Victorious.
