Torchwood Parody

[Dave]

As if it needed one, this Driftwood parody is very funny: Under Torch Wood

I particularly liked these parts:

CAPTAIN JACK
One off gadget for choosing the quickest queue at Tesco, check. And one off purple wig for a girlie going to the moon, check. And one off bottle of stuff for getting pterodactyl pturds off greatcoats, check.

CAPTAIN JACK
Separate from the government,
outside the police,
beyond the United Nations,
independent of the judiciary,
not voting in council elections,
distinct from the Brownies,
non-members of the AA,
think iPods are rubbish,
cancelled the milk,
no TV licence.

TORCHWOOD AGENT 1
Toshiko Sato. I'm an all-new kind of female sci-fi character for the twenty-first century. I can give computers insoluble equations in Algol.

TORCHWOOD AGENT 2
Doctor Owen Harper. I'm a weasel-faced would-be rapist and self-described twat. By dint of great effort, I have made myself even less sympathetic and more unlikeable than the other characters.

TORCHWOOD AGENT 3 [plaintively]
Ianto Jones. I've got a Cyberlady in my wardrobe.

ROFL, Dave!
I loved:

Only you can see the beetled carapace of the Millennium Centre, its cryptic inscription illuminated in huge hostile letters, simultaneously making no sense in two languages

Good one, Dave! Thanks for posting it. I needed a laugh!

There is also the BBC 'DeadRingers' sketch up at YouTube:
YouTube - Dead Ringers - Torchwood

I'm a big fan of Dead Ringers, so any spoof of Torchwood they do is bound to be as funny as their other sketches. Thanks again, Dave!

I'm also a big fan of the other half of the parody as well, Under Milk Wood. So it's doubly funny.

(In fact a LONG time ago I appeared in a staged version of said Play for Voices).

 

[Coolhand]

FIRST VOICE Plumply pop-eyed, gap-toothed and beyond her fringe, she tiptoes around her flat in the dark, trying not to awaken her boyfriend Barry Backstory, who is dreaming of future episodes where he gets a bigger part.

BARRY BACKSTORY'S DREAM
I'm telling you, Gwen, I have to know who you want: me, or Captain Jack, or several of the others.

GWEN IN BARRY BACKSTORY'S DREAM
Don't make me choose.


Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle...

laughing my bum off... ho ho ho ho!

I'm not the only person in the world who loathes gwen, then.
