Stupid and Silly Spin-off Ideas?

By Judi Jeffreys (Jjeffreys_mod) on Thursday, May 21, 2015 - 10:58 am:

Lets have at it, NC'ers: What spin-off of Classic or New Who do you *not* want to see?


By Kevin (Kevin) on Thursday, May 21, 2015 - 3:56 pm:

K9 Adventures.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Thursday, May 21, 2015 - 4:06 pm:

As an IDEA, K9 Adventures is great.

It's just in practice both series (well, one series and one pilot) were exceedingly ghastly.

My worst possible series would be Young Hartnell At The Time Lord Academy.

And yes, the BBC actually suggested it to RTG.

By Emily Carter (Emily) on Friday, May 22, 2015 - 4:54 am:

John Benton: Used Car Salesman

:-) :-) :-)

Sisterhood: Life on Karn

Karn was VERY exciting when we saw it in Night of the Doctor, Brain of Morbius, and of course in Warmonger. And of course there are those constant crashed spaceships! Some of them with still-surviving occupants who could be Sacred Flamed in the climax of each episode! And then there's the relationships between a bunch of homicidal females who are stuck together for a very long time...the possibilities are endless...look at how many books Enid Blyton managed to write about girls' boarding schools...

Runcible the Fatuous

I ADORED the scenes with Runcible the Fatuous!

Admittedly the joke might run a bit thin after a few series.

Shobogan Shenanigans

Watching Castellan Spandrel chase blanket-clad vandals round the Capitol after they shoot at the light fittings? What's not to love?

Could actually be good:
Morbius prequel


No doubt it COULD, but once you've read Warmonger...

Captain Jack and some Welsh people protect the Earth from alien invaders!

*Sigh* Even if you're such a philistine as to NOT want to see MORE CAPTAIN JACK!! you've gotta admit, watching him and some Welsh people protect the Earth is a LOT more fun than watching him and some AMERICAN people do so.

Sadly most of the Whovian Observer's archives are no longer online or I'd have linked to the cartoon he did of CSI: Gallifrey.

IIRC the punchline was, "Silly costumes, serious crime".

Although, rereading what was still up I realized that George the midget Sontaran was probably where Moffett got the idea for Strax. ;-)

And Palmer at least is a frequent guest star in Who.

For the uninitiated, here is Amanda Plummer in her most famous and very not safe for work role:

She's also Captain Von Trapp's daughter.


By steve McKinnon (Steve) on Thursday, July 09, 2015 - 4:13 pm:

'Frequent guest star'? Imdb.com shows Palmer only as Captain Hardaker in 'Voyage of the Damned'.

By Kevin (Kevin) on Thursday, July 09, 2015 - 9:39 pm:

Right. Three different, sizeable roles across old and new Who. Not sure that's actually a record or not, but there can't be too many people who can make that claim (not counting stunt doubles, brief cameos, etc.)


By steve McKinnon (Steve) on Friday, July 10, 2015 - 9:31 am:

Aha! You're both correct. I didn't realize that imdb was considering original Who and new Who as two separate shows.
I also thought he was very good in 'Fawlty Towers' as Doctor Price. (I want my sausages! Get rid of that dead body!)


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Friday, July 10, 2015 - 10:41 am:

I didn't realize that imdb was considering original Who and new Who as two separate shows.

It - was - WHAT!


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Saturday, July 11, 2015 - 5:01 am:

I didn't realize that imdb was considering original Who and new Who as two separate shows.

Not unusual. They consider all five Star Trek shows separate series, even though they're part of one big saga.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Saturday, July 11, 2015 - 11:16 am:

But they ARE five separate series. (Aren't they?) Just set in the same universe. (One assumes.) Whereas Who is the story of JUST ONE MAN. (Or, possibly, just one blue box.) With a somewhat misfortunate gap in the middle of it.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Saturday, July 11, 2015 - 11:23 am:

Some people are under the misconception that New Who is a reboot of the series, instead of what it is, a direct continuation of the original series after a prolonged hiatus.


By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Saturday, July 11, 2015 - 11:36 am:

It's not anything to do with narrative continuity, it's that the new series is clearly a separate production from the one that ran 1963-1989.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Sunday, July 12, 2015 - 6:56 am:

Separate production? Bah humbug. Utopia was directed by Graeme Harper just like Caves of Androzani was. Whereas a Hartnell-starring black-and-white 405-line system produced by Verity Lambert in Lime Grove Studio D was a PRETTY SEPARATE PRODUCTION from the glorious colour 625-line video tape starring Sylvester McCoy inflicted on us by the guy in the Hawaiian shirt quarter of a century later.

(Oh, and in case anyone is gaping at my hitherto-unsuspected levels of videotape technical knowledge, Space Helmet for a Cow has just been explaining it to me, along with the line 'So what?, you might ask, but this sort of stuff's like hardcore porn to Doctor Who fans.')


By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Monday, July 13, 2015 - 2:03 am:

Utopia was directed by Graeme Harper just like Caves of Androzani was.

Harper also directed for 'Heartbeat' but I'm fairly sure that's a separate production too.

Whereas a Hartnell-starring black-and-white 405-line system produced by Verity Lambert in Lime Grove Studio D was a PRETTY SEPARATE PRODUCTION from the glorious colour 625-line video tape starring Sylvester McCoy inflicted on us by the guy in the Hawaiian shirt quarter of a century later.

If there was a 20 year gap between the two then they would indeed be separate series but the series was in continual production in that period and you can see how the one evolves into the other over time.

(Oh, and in case anyone is gaping at my hitherto-unsuspected levels of videotape technical knowledge, Space Helmet for a Cow has just been explaining it to me, along with the line 'So what?, you might ask, but this sort of stuff's like hardcore porn to Doctor Who fans.')

I like to think that 15 years of beating my head against the brick wall of your "film? video? pah!" wilful ignorance might have weakened it a little in advance of this killer blow.

By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, July 13, 2015 - 5:55 am:

or Emily has finally snapped and is now listening to the rantings a horned Viking helmet. ;-)


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Monday, July 13, 2015 - 2:59 pm:

Harper also directed for 'Heartbeat' but I'm fairly sure that's a separate production too.

He PROSTITUTED himself out to lesser programmes?!

(Now if it had been called Heartsbeat this might have been OK...(TALKING of silly spin-off ideas...))

If there was a 20 year gap between the two then they would indeed be separate series but the series was in continual production in that period and you can see how the one evolves into the other over time.

True, but I can see how Old Who evolves into New Who over time. Admittedly far too MUCH time.

I like to think that 15 years of beating my head against the brick wall of your "film? video? pah!" wilful ignorance might have weakened it a little in advance of this killer blow.

I'd love to deny it, but it's a tragic possibility, given that fifteen years of less/fewer distinctions have DEFINITELY had an eroding effect on my total-lack-of-giving-a-.

What is this Mad Cow Disease thing you've been yammering about, Emily?

I'm guessing it's a book about Doctor Who...


Full marks to Keith.

Obviously I'll be posting a review in the Reference Books section sooner or later.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 - 5:03 am:

Old Who are New Who are the same. RTD said it was "continuing on, not starting again."


By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 - 8:37 am:

That's an argument about narrative, not production.


By Kevin (Kevin) on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 - 5:42 pm:

They both began with season/series ones, so no matter what happens intertextually, they're going to be separate productions, along with that TV movie.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Thursday, July 16, 2015 - 4:30 am:

You could also argue that the new series is nothing but an expensive fanfic that the BBC decided to air. ;-)

How about Doctor Who Adventures, a crossover between Disney cartoons and Loony Toons.

With Mickey Mouse as the Doctor, Pluto as K9 and Yosemite Sam as the Master.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Friday, August 21, 2015 - 9:27 am:

I think Daffy would be a better Master.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Friday, August 21, 2015 - 4:44 pm:

Yosemite Sam is Warner Bros not Disney.

Peg Leg Pete is Mickey's traditional enemy in film so would therefore be the likeliest candidate for the Master.

Although the comic strip created villain the Phantom Blot could be good as well.

On the other hand what about different Disney characters as different incarnations. Mickey, Goofy & Donald could then team up for their own take on The Three Doctors. ;-)

On a side note, the European Disney comics have already done a Mickey as Captain Kirk story.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Friday, August 21, 2015 - 4:58 pm:

For a Warner Bros Doctor Who mashup...

Porky Pig as the second Doctor.

Tweety Bird as the third Doctor with Sylvester as The Master.

Bugs Bunny as the fourth Doctor with Yosemite Sam as the Master.

Road Runner as the fifth Doctor with Wile E. Coyote as the Master.

Daffy Duck as the sixth Doctor.

Brain as the seventh Doctor.

Elmer Fudd as the ninth Doctor.

Yacko Warner as the tenth Doctor.

Wacko Warner as the eleventh Doctor.

And it ties in with MLP:FIM's pilot episode. Yep, the Doctor & Derpy are having their adventure parallel to the Mane Six and knowing what happens there helps understand some of the things that happen in the Dr. Whooves story.


By John E. Porteous (Jep) on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 - 5:40 pm:

I'll have to agree with you on that one.

Even worse--part 2 is about the same length as part 1--and part 3 is almost as long as the other 2 put together.

Why anyone would do this is beyond me.


By Kevin (Kevin) on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 - 3:05 am:

What the heck are we talking about here? Wasn't this like a girl's toy in the 70s or 80s or something?


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 - 5:32 am:

It was. Then it was successfully relaunched in the early 2010's, but an unexpected twist happened. For some reason, a large number of adults became fans of the toy this time around. As a group, the men are called bronies and the women pegasisters, and they have taken the My Little Pony toys in directions never imagined by their creators like, for instance, these videos.

Oh great, now I need to explain.

In my last post I was agreeing with Emily--Keiths post came through while I was writing, and so I didn't see it.

Some days you just can't win.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Thursday, October 01, 2015 - 3:10 am:

Francois - For some reason, a large number of adults became fans of the toy this time around.

Really? I figured the unusual thing was how many male adults liked the cartoon because it was funny and had clever writing.

I mean you'd expect a certain boost in buying the toys from little girls who had never collected the toy before seeing a "half-hour toy commercial" and some lapsed fans (most likely the mothers of said girls), but I don't think many Bronies just started buying boxes of toys because they liked the cartoon.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Thursday, October 01, 2015 - 7:01 am:

Well, when I said the toy, I meant the whole My Little Pony universe of course, including toy collecting, cosplay, fan made literature and videos, etc,. There were even documentaries made about the phenomenon.

Doctor: Yeah, they've redecorated since last time. But I'm sure [tapping timey-wimey device] the signal is coming from... [spies door]behind this door.. [opens door and enters]

Scene: Office of Malcolm Tucker
[Clara takes a double beat as she sees Malcolm Tucker sitting behind a desk. She looks back between Malcolm and the Doctor with a stunned look on her face]
Clara: Uuuuh...Doctor...
[The Doctor is oblivious to everyone in the room as he scans it, including Malcolm Tucker who looks up angrily]
Tucker: Who in f***s name are you two?
Doctor: [still not looking at Tucker] I'm the Doctor, this is Clara. Just umm.. [fishes in pocket and pulls out psychic paper] whatever this says...
Tucker: A f*****g UNIT inspection? You are not f*****g UNIT.
Doctor: [a little surprised] Really? It went with UNIT? Ok.
Clara: Doctor...would you mind looking at...er..[sees name plate on desk] Malcolm Tucker [realisation of who he is] Oh my God- you're Malcom Tucker! I know you! You work for the PM!
Tucker: Yeah bravo Miss Inspector f*****g Clouseau.
Doctor: [finally putting his device away and facing Tucker] Wow. What a little potty mouth you have. You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Tucker: No, I kiss YOUR f*****g mother with it. Then she gets to s**k on my massive c**k.
Clara: Doctor? Why does he look like you?
Doctor: He does? I don't think so.
Tucker: I think your friend here has been smoking too much weed.
Clara: Excuse me, I'm a teacher!
Tucker: Perfectly good reason to smoke weed then.
Clara: Well maybe if your government would...you know...fund our public schools better, I might not need to...not that I do....
Tucker: Sure you don't. Look, I have work to do so get the f**k out now or I'll bollocks the pair of you.
Doctor: You're quite the little grub aren't you? Must be hard to be in that head of yours. Ever try yoga or Enya music. Now that will calm your nerves.
Tucker: Enya? Her music sounds like it was s**t out the back end of a diseased horses a**e. NOW F****G GET OUT!!
Clara: Doctor, I think maybe we should exit.
Doctor: Yes, we'll leave mr small appendage here to his work.
Tucker: [infuriated] Small appendage?? I'll take my so-called small appendage- which, by the way- not so small...
Clara: eeewww
Tucker: AND JAM IT UP YOUR UNIT SIZED A**E!!
[enter another secretary. See the two men and has a minor heart attack]
Secretary: Mr. Tucker are you...Oh jesus christ!!
Tucker: What is it?
Secretary: Uuuh...I didn't even know you had a twin brother
Doctor: Seriously- why do you think we're identical. Look at his hair... not even close. His ears are shorter than mine...
Clara: They're not really...
Doctor: His nose is bigger
Tucker: F**k you jew boy...
Doctor: Charming... and of course, his language is extremely limited.
Tucker: It may be limited you big haired, elephant nose, monobrowed piece of a**e remnant, but it works.
Doctor: Sure it does. Come on Clara. We won't find anything here....

Good grief. I'd've thought the Companions' PARENTS would be mentioned and copyrighted in some showrunnner's document.

Doctor: Seriously- why do you think we're identical. Look at his hair... not even close. His ears are shorter than mine...
Clara: They're not really...
Doctor: His nose is bigger
Tucker: F**k you jew boy...
Doctor: Charming... and of course, his language is extremely limited.
Tucker: It may be limited you big haired, elephant nose, monobrowed piece of a**e remnant, but it works.


Actually, MOFFAT says that if Twelve met Malcolm Tucker, 'They would find each other compellingly handsome.'

Survivor: Doctor Who

All the incarnations of the Doctor are placed on a remote island and have to form alliances against each other.

At the end of each show, a Doctor is voted off the island.

How about a sitcom with pre-crystal Tommy, Pigbin Josh and Condo?


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Thursday, September 14, 2017 - 5:22 am:

Well, it would be better than SOME Who spin-offs I could mention...

After TTOTD, "Clothed Monsters, Nude Doctors"?


By Natalie Salat (Nataliesalat) on Thursday, March 22, 2018 - 9:37 pm:

This was done in a famous Star Trek fanfiction, but how would say, Peter Capaldi do if he woke up as the Twelfth Doctor?


By Natalie Salat (Nataliesalat) on Friday, March 23, 2018 - 8:16 am:

Expanding:

Do the actors gain any 'abilities' when they transform? Plus I presume that they do gain the necessary background knowledge. It would be awkward not recognising members of your family or close personal associates because their either been dropped from the film or look nothing like the actual character.


With regards to Peter Capaldi I did read that one reason he gave up the role was that he found it physically too demanding. So unless he gets time lord resources, such as the 2nd heart and the fact he's functionally immortal, that would be a problem. Not to mention if he actually found himself facing daleks, cybermen and the like can he rely on them being as stupid and accommodating as they generally are on TV? Similarly would he know how to use the sonic screwdriver or how to speak multiple languages and know history across a broad range of ages and multiple galaxies.

Those points would be ever more true for actors playing characters with superhero type powers. A superman who can't fly and can be killed by a bullet or a car crash say? Or even a martial artist who falls over his own feet when he tries to fight. [Reminded of a Rowan Atkinson advert for a chocolate bar if any of them have ever seen it. Checking: its an ad for Snickers].

Got some more:

The KarTRASHian Creatures Meet A Krynoid

The KarTRASHian Creatures Meet Kroll

Of course, they'd only be one episode of each, for obvious reasons.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Thursday, August 22, 2019 - 12:40 am:

The KarTRASHian Creatures Meet the Auton Trashbin. ;-)

A pair of friendly Daleks have adventures - The Paleks

Alien invasion are stopped by little old ladies armed with wool and needles - UKNIT

A boarding house ruled by Mondasians - The Cyber House Rules

Incredibly polite alien invaders - The Nice Warriors

If the Wackjobs In Fandom (That Weren't Ian Levine) Had Been Right...

Stories taken from some of the more inaccurate fan theories relating to Modern Who. Including Adam's transformation into Davros, the horrifying truth about Leadworth's duck pond, the domestic turmoil of Clara and Danny raising a baby girl, and at least one female character turning out to be Romana, the Rani, Susan or all three in every release and let's not forget the multiple surprise cameos by the Eighth Doctor as played by Liverpool's Own Paul McGann.


By Gaia Nicolosi (Aledi_vi_sepul) on Thursday, January 06, 2022 - 12:05 pm:

Not really a spin-off I *dont* want, but:

Space Teenagers: Fivey, Adric, Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough, Lon, Karuna, and Kamelion live in an apartment and have shenanigans between home, school, and the wackiest parties on every planet.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Thursday, January 06, 2022 - 5:08 pm:

Somehow, I can't see Adric or Turlough being wild party goers. Even as teenagers.


By Kevin (Kevin) on Friday, January 07, 2022 - 2:41 am:

ADRIC: I have a wild idea! Let's go steal some riverfruit. Who's with me?

TURLOUGH: Okay, let's take 'my' new car...


By Gaia Nicolosi (Aledi_vi_sepul) on Friday, January 07, 2022 - 10:05 am:

Tegan: Im going to climb the trees!
Nyssa: I’ve got the Source on our side!
Lon: This will be the best party in the galaxy!
Karuna: Lets all go!
Kamelion: I should turn into a fruit picking machine!
Fivey: what have I gotten myself into?


By Rodney Hrvatin (Rhrvatin) on Friday, April 08, 2022 - 3:26 am:

You know, looking back at my Doc 12/ Malcolm Tucker skit from 2015 above, I don't think it got anywhere near the love it deserved. And trust me, I am not one to toot my own horn when it comes to my writing...


By Gaia Nicolosi (Aledi_vi_sepul) on Friday, April 08, 2022 - 5:37 am:

How about other crossovers between the Doctors\Companions and the other properties they acted in?

How would they fare?


By Kevin (Kevin) on Thursday, July 28, 2022 - 6:25 pm:

He's stalked the Doctors throughout their lives.

A name seldom spoken. A hint here, a whisper there.

A presence, lurking in the shadows of the Doctor's long history.

But now, the lurking is over. Today, he takes physical form, and the Doctor finally comes face-to-face with their greatest threat yet.

Pig Finish presents: The Rise of Carmine Seepage

The Doctor picks up one of the hints around 3:20 here:

By Emily Carter (Emily) on Friday, July 29, 2022 - 11:11 am:

Oh!

Btw, is Pig Finish a typo or should we now start referring to THAT COMPANY WHO JUST KEEP RUINING MY LIFE IT'S LIKE THEY CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES as such...?


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Friday, July 29, 2022 - 2:16 pm:

Watching Five handle the cricket bat made me wonder what if the Doctor used his cricket bat the way Steve of Life and Death used his? (Steve's job is Death.)

Of course, Steve did once meet "The Physician."


By Kevin (Kevin) on Friday, July 29, 2022 - 2:53 pm:

I intended the 'pig' as a one-off parody. You're free to use it, but it conjures a sense that chauvinism is their defining trait.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Monday, September 25, 2023 - 5:50 am:

Rorvik's Rogues: The wacky exploits of a bunch of bumbling slave traders.

The laughs just keep coming.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 - 3:09 am:

Actually, that sounds fantastic. Rorvik and co had a HELL of a lot of things to say about important issues like slavery, trade unions, megalomania etc and they did so in a highly amusing manner, and I'd LOVE more, providing Stephen Gallagher isn't allowed anywhere near it cos he's RUBBISH at writing these days...


By Gaia Nicolosi (Aledi_vi_sepul) on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 - 3:16 am:

Universe T/bee/18: Consuls Nyssa, Luvic, Elkor, Demia, and Mithis, Proctor Eisor, Nyssas father the Fourth Keeper, and Nyssa and Luvic’s kids Nyvi and Lusac, have peaceful shenanigans on Traken.

Yeah it would be a fun show.


By Brad J Filippone (Binro_the_heretic) on Saturday, September 30, 2023 - 3:49 am:

An intellectual discussion show covering important topics with a panel consisting only of Ogrons.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Saturday, September 30, 2023 - 4:36 am:

That would be hilarious!

Providing one of said Ogrons was Garshak-from-Mean-Streets and another was Dr-Ogron-from-Planet-of-the-Ogrons, of course.

(Garshak's been mentally-augmented and is a very successful detective and Dr Ogron thinks he's the Eighth Doctor and has got the perm and cravat and DNA to prove it and they are both EXTREMELY ADORABLE. The rest of the panel can just grunt and serve Daleks and worship orange blobs and tear kiddies' arms off the way good Ogrons SHOULD.)
