YouTube + Doctor Who + Comedy = Comedy

I wish there was a show like Dead Ringers on in the United States, though I know if there were I wouldn't be able to stop making David Cronenberg/gynecological jokes.

Nonetheless, I think we can enjoy any show that delves deeply enough to explain why Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who after 13 episodes. Late at night I'm watching "Aliens of London" on BBC America and going "Hmm. The show really changed in between 2005 and 2006, right down to the cinematography." Don't get me wrong, I think there are parts of "Tooth and Claw" that are gorgeous, but there's something to be said for the Ninth Doctor getting no respect because of his accent and wardrobe. Nine would not, in my opinion, have even thought about pretending to be Scottish around Queen Victoria.
