Much as we might love the story of a time-travelling, face-changing alien with two hearts and a British accent, you have to admit that it’s a pretty odd concept even at a base level.

At ten minutes long, it’s quite a watch, but hey – there’s a lot to get through. And they even manage to squeeze in Jodie Whittaker, though at the moment they don’t have too much to say about her Doctor.

And if watching that isn’t QUITE a nerdy enough experience for you, then you’re in luck. The Screen Junkies team have also made a video poking fun at the classic era of Doctor Who, with its shouty villains, flubbed lines and oddly put-together aliens all getting an affectionate ribbing.
