National Television Awards 2011 - The Doctor Saves Day

National Television Awards 2011 opening sequence. The Doctor comes to Dermot's rescue as he slept in for the NTAs...

[@MUSERULE100]

That explains so much about Ant and Dec.

[@TrenchMan93]

Best opening for an award show ever because in any unreal situation the doctor showing up makes sense

[@InYourEmma]

You know you're British when this all makes sense.

[@Torexeon]

You know you’re British when you look at your birth certificate

I just loves Matt Smith's acting. Even outside DW, with a complete different type of companion, who, if I may say so, doesn't seem to be the greatest of all actors to me, he really plays the Doctor as awesome as ever, it felt exactly like in the show. Gonna miss him as the Doctor, but I'm sure Twelve will find his own special way into the Whoniverse and in the end I will love him as much as the other Doctors :)

Dot Cotton is played by June Brown who in 1973 also appeared in the third Doctor Who Serial named ‘The Time Warrior’.

[@bandersnatch9469]

And Becky McDonald is also played by Miss Quill in Class (Doctor Who spin-off).

[@thenonsenseguy2364]

Its been 8 years, hope you understood them now

[@AudiRSQ]

Bruce has now gone :-(

Dot Cotton knew the Doctor, probably a reference to "Dimensions in Time"?

June Brown played Lady Eleanor in a third doctor story

I have never seen this before! Thank you :) I thought I'd seen everything, I'm certain there must be more little specials that I have missed. Anyone know of where one might find a complete compilation of these? (inlcuding comic relief specials and such)

[@maliciousintruder3010]

In between the adverts...

[@Iloveowlets]

Still sOOOOO perfect

[@jumpcutfilms1958]

Quill is in this ;)

And now we know what she really meant when she tells the Doctor it's over between them with Class being DISMISSED.

@TheJacquigary I meant *which* writer you had a problem with - different episodes are written by different people. Yup, I'm a fan of the show in general, because you haven't said why you don't like whatever writer you're talking about.

[@bloodspinati5634]

Please cross out the "s" in the first line, it is wrong and makes my sentence sound weird ^^

Miss Quill from Class

[@amyfreeman3081]

the the whole of the meaning would of been taken out of it *doctor who* as in whos the doctor whats his name and where did he come from? not *the doctor* otherwise if thats the case he might as well be a doctor of medicine..

[@HeatherRuthDiane]

LMAO!
