Aug. 6th, 2013 02:47 pmI was going to post the mock-trailer mashing up "The Thick of It" and Doctor Who, but on rewatching it, I noticed that they cut from Malcolm saying "You need to shut your fucking mouth" to a picture of River, so, no. I do not wish to give airtime to gratuitous character bashing, especially when it has such obvious misogynist overtones (note that it wasn't actually one of Malcolm's better lines).
Which is a pity,* because mostly the vid is well-done and funny, particularly the use of the line "finally life is interesting again, I was so fucking bored", and of course the final use of a vaguely sinister final line suggesting that someone is being used as an unwitting pawn in some sinister scheme is a very Moffat-era-trailerish thing to do, even though I suspect the original context was just Malcolm being rude to someone.
On a more positive note: I for one welcome our new Scottish overlord. Please can he keep his accent this time, BBC?
* You could have used Davros! That's the kind of joke he's made for! It would be like the "unlimited rice pudding speech", but with more Tucker-esque swearing!
