Community‘s Abed instantly falls in love with Inspector Spacetime – a British science-fiction TV programme that’s been on the air since the early sixties, featuring a time-travelling telephone box. There’s something very familiar about all this…
Twenty years on from the death of Freddie Mercury, this pomp-rock-mock-opera-warblefest remains Queen’s most enduring and well-known hit. Yet even during the days when the band attended parties featuring dwarves peddling cocaine from bowls attached to their heads (allegedly), they couldn’t possibly have envisaged this superb interpretation from Jim Henson’s legendary puppets.

Following on from the success – ish – of The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors, one intrepid YouTuber continues his quest to turn innocent Doctor Who episodes of yore into foulmouthed swearfests from the dark side of HBO.

Team Nerdist (including none other than Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s Wil Wheaton) recently challenged the Doctor Who cast and showrunner Steven Moffat to some All-Star Celebrity Bowling…

While many of these cut-ups are typically awful, some are pretty funny and the … >
No swearword is safe from the censor’s blue pencil when a movie is being trimmed for television.
