BBC Struggle To Find Dr. Who Replacement
Desperate to fill the vacant slot left by Dr. Who in the Saturday night schedule, the BBC are to relaunch The Magic Roundabout using the same formula of casting B & C list celebrities in a long ignored family favourite. At the launch of the show, the new Zebedee, Ronnie Corbett, sang the praises of the initiative. ‘It gives us old fogies another chance, you see,’ he said before launching into twenty seven separate size related gags and ending with a funny song about men who like to dress up as women.
‘I think it’s a brilliant idea,’ said Johnny Vegas, who will be playing Dylan in the remake. ‘I get to lie around all day and do very little. Oh, you don’t think that would be a stretch, do you? You think that’s funny? You would, you sitting there full of your middle class pretensions. Laughing when I’m sitting in a puddle of my own breakfast. Laugh at him cos he’s fat, that’s what you’re figuring. You probably think I’m jolly too. Well I’m not fat. And I’m not jolly. I’m just miserably chunky.’ The BBC have yet to confirm that Boris Johnson will be playing Dougal but they have admitted that Jade Goody has already auditioned for Ermintrude.
