Tenth Doctor: The Musical is a Doctor Who vid by di_br that uses many music sources to show the Ninth Doctor's bemusement about Ten's choices and antics.
Vidder's summary: The Tenth Doctor Era, told through the power of interpretive dance music!
From the vidder's notes: "[...] that's my new personal canon, by the way: when the Doc regenerates, his older self isn't gone, it just goes home and watches his current self on the TV
Recs & Reactions
Okay, I am guessing by the fact that this thing has almost 500 comments on LJ and more than 50k hits on YouTube that everyone has already seen it. I do not care. There might be someone out there who hasn't. That alone is reason enough to rec this. Because, oh my god, this is just - just - well. I don't want to spoil it or anything, but there was a point, right before Nine rolled his eyes (and I was right there with him, of course), that I had a laughter-induced hallucination. [...] I love this vid. I love every single thing about it. I love the idea that there's a Home for Old Doctors where they can watch the latest incarnation's exploits ("I tell you what, I would never have done that. In my day we knew the value of a blooping tube of blue goop.") and brood all moodily and be harassed by babies and have a cup of tea. I love the bonus track at the end [...] I love the bits with Jack and the Master. I love Martha's theme song, which is so obviously her theme song I don't know why I never realized it before. I even love being rickrolled. Pretty much.[2]
It's not that easy to maintain energy throughout a vid of 6 or more minutes, but this one does, it keeps fresh by changing songs frequently and playing off of every fun aspect of the show, each song being perfectly chosen (I think I'm a clone now, ROTFL), my favourite being the "all by myself" moments and omg, the "strike a pose" with the weeping angels !! Simply hilarious.[3]
A hilarious and very meta look at the Tenth Doctor's run, as watched by Nine, with judicious use of fast-forwarding and editing. Perfect song choices, perfect repetition, perfect reactions by Nine. It has everything, including a rick roll![4]
If Ten's life had been a musical, this is what it'd have been like. AWESOMESAUCE! Music: a whole bunch of songs by a whole bunch of people.[5]
