Dr Who?


Here's another brilliant Owen Barder spoof. Can't help feeling the BBC must be a bit miffed at what he does, especially as here it's their product he's using. Great idea, perfectly executed.

Future State Funerals

So who decided that George Best should have a state funeral? Because that's what it was, with the thousands of mourners, the wall-to-wall live coverage on the TV, the endless stories in today's newspapers, all with obligatory quotes about how George was the people's prince...
The grief fest that, post-Diana, now seems obligatory, will obviously lead to a progressive upping of the stakes as more famous folk die. It seems to me that we can expect similar scenes when the following shuffle off their mortal coil:
Sir Thumbs Aloft (but not Ringo)
Lord Attenborough (but not David)
Sir Elton John
Sir Bobby Charlton
Sir Michael Jagger (but not Keef, who is clearly indestructible anyway)
Sir Trevor McDonald
Joan Collins
Lord Lloyd-Webber (but not Julian, or Tim Rice)
Any more?
