Thank you,

evemac, for pointing me to this DW-mocking comedy sketch with Catherine Tate and David Tennant.

It was unparalleled greatness. I never even considered looking for the actors in sketch comedy appearances! Now I wonder if there's more out there.

"Can we please get back to Shakespeare?! Right, so..."
"D'you fancy Billie Piper, sir?"

I loved the set-up of the clip, with the schoolgirl fantasy of Ten as your hot teacher reading sonnets with a Scottish accent, but turned on its head because Catherine Tate is there and CT owns all.

Although I saw it coming just before hand (I'm sure everyone saw it coming), I still burst out smiling and giggling for "Doctor who?" and the girl's subsequent self-satisfied cheers. It worked because DT played it perfectly. These two actors play off each other so well, even out of context!

And Tate's mouthy snappy monologue! Awesome! I noticed too that the sonnet she recited at the end seemed to make pointed references to Doctor/Rose angst, just because of who she was talking to, which was so meta that it cracked me up. And then he turns her into an action figure. ::snert::

"You house? Is it bigger on the inside?"\

Why did that sound so strangely DIRTY?
