Retrieved from one of dalekbuster's dopey threads.
Big thanks to CD93 for providing the link in the first place. I thought that this deserved a wider audience.

I knew that Peter had been in bands in the past, but had never heard him sing before. He's good, and this is a lovely version of one of Lou Reed's prettiest songs.

And, weirdly, he actually appears to be dressed as the Doctor!

Cheers,
Richard

The Clash were never a punk band, any more than The Prodigy were Hardcore.

On another note, did anyone else see the words "Inactive member" and think of Capaldi saying "Clara, is it over?"

The Clash circa 1977 weren't punk? Okay. Disagree. Whatever, they were brilliant. Bit OT though so I'll shut up.

Well, whatever the bizarreness of the closed thread, we get to see Capaldi sing Velvets, so it's all good!

That's a bit of an, er, minority position.

It's one of those tired old arguments that contrary musos like to throw out there to show how controversial they are. File it next to 'The Beatles were the first boy band' and similar nonsense.

A good reason for a Doctor Who Musical episode.

Not really. John Barrowman sings too, but ya didn't see them deciding a musical episode must be made cos of that.

So that's what the Doc does when Clara is teaching.

Yes, because why run away from a Dalek when you can sing to it instead?

They should have done it as a charity minisode, actually.

Sorry but that argument is flawed. Characters in a musical are never aware they're singing in the first place.

Moffat: "So, guys, we wanna make the Daleks a real threat again, build up the scare factor. Any suggestions?"

Gatiss: "How about an episode where we see a brand new Dalek empire having been built? Show their strength and power?"

Moffat: "Nice. Anything else?"

Thompson: "Clara could sing at it."

Gatiss: "What?"

Thompson: "Clara could sing at it. A musical episode with the Daleks! The Daleks could sing too!"

Moffat: "Gatiss, you're fired. Thompson, that's brilliant!"

It could be like Phantom of the Opera.

There is no good reason for a musical episode of Doctor Who.

Not always true.

Characters in the Buffy The Vampire Musical episode were aware that they kept bursting into Song.

Like the brilliant Buffy episode where they all sang I like that idea.

Of course if Peter C has got good taste in early 80's Who, he could've suggested covering Some Kinda Love.

He's a bit beautiful isn't he.

Only 34 years older than me, that's not that weird is it?

Oh dear.

Or a couple from the VU & Nico album -
the possibly Troughton influenced "(When I Say) Run Run Run", or
"The (Weeping) Black Angel's Death Song"

But that wasn't a traditional musical (for the exact same reason you state).

A musical episode would be just awful. Awful awful awful. No.

No. It won't.
That clip is pretty funny and very nicely done, but a fun fan film is a VERY long way from Doctor Who.
No thanks.
