Description This conversation happened recently:

[Me:] I’m watching a Miss Marple mystery.
[Katie:] Oh?
[Me:] Starring Reinette and the Eighth Doctor. Oh, and I think I just saw a Weeping Angel in the cemetery scene.
[Katie:] That sounds amazing.
[Me:] Well, when I say it like that, it sounds about 1000% better than what I’m actually watching.

Naturally I had to draw this.

I think I’ve turned into a “You know you’ve been watching too much Doctor Who when…” punchline.
a) … if you see multiple actors from Doctor Who in an unrelated production, you feel compelled to make lame jokes about them being their characters from Doctor Who in said production.
b) …you find these lame jokes funny and know other people who do as well.
c) …deep down you kinda wish you were really watching the Doctor Who plot you just joked about with said characters.*

[* item c DOES NOT APPLY to Much Ado About Nothing with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. I love it to bits, but I in no way want it to be Ten and Donna. No.]

With all due apologies to Agatha Christie, Miss Marple, Paul McGann and Sophia Myles (who were both perfectly excellent in The Sleeping Murder, really), and the BBC.

I do exactly the same
I was watching the newest Batman, and I said "Oh, that's Owen from Torchwood" as soon as he appeared. My friends had no idea what I was talking about, which is sad, but they are not interested in "Doctor Who"...

I will admit to not getting the jokes, but i'm sure if I watched Dr Who I would find it very funny. I will however tell you about the art, which is gorgeous. I loooove her dress and all the little details on it, including the tiny details on her fab necklace and earring combo. Paul McGann is spectacular as usual. And on top of it all, you draw very good statues. Hard to explain but I'll try; it's a lot less lively than the fleshy people. they look caught in motion, the statue does not. So good job!

Lol, you know, it's... really only about as funny as, say, joking about Mufasa being Darth Vader. It's all a little lame, but I can live with that.

Thank you for taking the time to pick up on the details though! Weeping Angels are creepy as heck, just wait.

Great sketch,the eighth doctor who is one of my fave versions of the character,because he's so underrated and unique. It's cool to see him face a weeping angel.
