New 11 Doctors Names song

Now including Matt Smith, here's that song about how to remember the Doctors Who names:

New Doctor casting - I'm delighted

Having just learnt that Matt Smith will be the new Doctor, I'm delighted. Which means that every single one of the predictions I made earlier was wrong, including how I'd react, how opposed I'd be to another white bloke, and everything else. Already I like him.

Plus he scans. In the Socks video I recorded and uploaded yesterday, they sing the names of every Doctor Who actor to the tune of Frere Jacques, leaving only three syllables at the end for the 11th Doctor's name. "And Matt Smith" fits. All's right with the world.

The name of the new Doctor Who

This video was recorded just hours before the BBC announced they were going to announce the name of the new Doctor the next day. So, at time of uploading, we're only guessing the name of the new Doctor Who actor. That notwithstanding, this is a failsafe method of remembering the names of all the previous Doctor Who actors...
