Who Wants To Play Me?

Because it’s the start of a busy week (and because I’m now able to stream all the new Dr. Who to my TV), I present The Dr. Who Drinking Game (via). I think this should be on tonight’s agenda.

Whenever someone dies: DRINK
Whenever the Time War is mentioned: DRINK
Whenever someone mentions the TARDIS is bigger on the inside: DRINK
Whenever there’s a shot of the Doctors footwear: DRINK
Whenever the Sonic Screwdriver is used: DRINK
Every time the Doctor wears glasses: DRINK
Whenever someone is running: YOU MUST BE DRINKING THROUGHOUT
Whenever someone is crying: YOU MUST BE DRINKING THROUGHOUT
Whenever Bad Wolf is mentioned: DRINK THRICE
Every time the Doctor uses the psychic paper: DRINK
Every time the Doctor uses the alias John Smith: DRINK
When the Doctor kisses someone: DRINK THRICE
Whenever you see a flashback: DRINK
Whenever you hear the words ‘I’m sorry’, ‘oh yes’, ‘brilliant’, ‘medusa cascade’, ‘vortex’, ‘allons-y’, ‘time and space’: DRINK
Whenever someone makes a sinister prediction: DRINK THRICE
Whenever an alien planet or race is mentioned: DRINK
Every time the Doctor uses his stethoscope: DRINK THRICE
Every time a poor American accent is heard: DRINK
Whenever Captain Jack is flirting: DRINK
Whenever someone disobeys an order from the Doctor: DRINK
Every time the Shadow Proclamation is mentioned: DRINK
Whenever the Doctor is wearing his trench coat: DRINK
Every time the TARDIS takes off: DRINK
Every time the Doctor mentions a little shop: DRINK
Every time someone asks the Doctor for a surname or questions what he is a Doctor in: DRINK
When there is a regeneration: ALL DRINKS MUST BE DOWNED

It goes without saying that he should be on the agenda, too:

  1. I’m behind a bit and only starting season 4 (I kind of overdosed and had to take a break), so I can’t make any first-hand Smith/Tennant comparisons yet.

    I kind of wish Amy could have crossed paths with Number Ten, though–throw all the beautiful people together!

  2. I caught the Christmas Special with David Tennant last Saturday. Very entertaining in a lighthgearted non-serial kind of way. Had a very cinematic feel compared to the regular series. And Kylie Minogue was nothing like I expected.

    A friend and I have a running debate about David Tennant vs. Matt Smith. I find Smith more interesting in that you never quite know if he has the situation under control. He’s rather aloof and seems to operate in his own little orbit around the rest of the plot elements. Whereas Tennant seemed more at ease and inspires more confidence that he’ll deliver his companions from the current danger du jour. But how much of the difference lies in the writing, and how much in each actor’s interpretation? Each regeneration of the character not only brings a new actor, but a chance to write him in a new way. You couldn’t ask Smith to mirror Tennant’s characterization.

    To make a long story short, I really enjoy the show with either one. Or any of the older Drs. But I’m much more into the current Smith series than I ever was the Tennant era. That smoking hot redhead doesn’t hurt either.
