8 Doctor Who Parodies You Didn’t Know Existed

3. Pakistani Dalek

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0n88tZQc4Q Written by the one and only Spike Milligan, the poet, comedian and actor that once quipped that he€™d like his last words to be, €œI told you I was ill€, for his surreal sketch show Q, this parody doesn't feature any of the Doctors but rather of his oldest and most deadily enemies - the Dalek. However, this Dalek is looking for much less than world domination as Milligan imagines the home life of this pepper-pot shaped force of destruction. Fans see a Dalek, wearing a headscarf, enter a typical British household, albeit bumping into dining room tables and chairs because of its size, and greeting its human wife. After being scolded for being late, the Dalek apologises with the excuse that €œthe tubes were full€. With the audience in hysterics, the Dalek€™s wife asks what happened next, to which we get the reply any Dalek would give: €œI exterminated them€. Well, duh! In a bizzare turn of events, though, the Dalek then exterminates a dog, the wife€™s mother and a canary, telling his wife to €œput them in the curry€. And while the YouTube commentators would claim that this is heraldic to the €˜good old days€™ before political correctness, Milligan€™s surreal brand of humour reveals the lunacy in the definition of Asian and Middle Eastern people in Britain as €˜aliens€™, something that was common in the 1970s. Who would have thought a Dalek could be an image of equality between all people?
