Davros auditions for Britain’s Got Talent

Britain’s Got Talent gets a very famous auditionee on tonight’s show – it’s only Davros off of Doctor Who. Yes, the inventor of the Daleks takes time out of his busy schedule to try to win a place at the Royal Variety Performance by impressing the judges with his audition (under the name of The Deep Space Deviants). “My name is Davros,” he informs the judges, with a policeman on stage for what we can only assume are security reasons….

WATCH DAVID TENNANT SPOOF HIS DOCTOR WHO PAST WITH HELP FROM STEPHEN COLBERT

Who? Doctor Who? David Tennant took the piss out of his confusing name-making character on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and it certainly got us into a muddle.

COUNCIL chiefs were stunned to spot Peter Capaldi’s doppelganger hanging about in Glasgow City Chambers. It seems the 12th Time Lord had hopped in the TARDIS and catapulted himself into the future after appearing in a painting from 1930. That may not exactly be true, but the Scots actor does bear an uncanny resemblance to a portrait of the city’s former Lord Provost, Sir Patrick Dollan. The artwork, which has been hanging in the gallery for more than 80 years,…

TARDIS CAKE OFF

TARDIS CAKE OFF

The Doctor has strange tastes… but everyone can agree that this cake looks delicious, no matter where you’re from in the universe. Not so, according to Reddit user Griffinburd, whose friend made the sweet time machine. Everything is edible (the Tardis itself is made from Rice Krispies) but apparently the “fondant tastes terrible,” forcing them to “treat it like we were peeling fruit to get to the cake.” Still, we bet it tastes better than fish fingers and custard.
