Gina's Laughing Gear (2007)
In this children's spoof show on CBBC, three sketches spoofing Doctor Who are shown. The first begins with the Doctor and Rose stepping out of the TARDIS into a darkened room. The Doctor, using his Sonic Screwdriver as a torch, reveals several aliens who are all blasted by Rose's ray gun. The Doctor then turns on the light and sees that they have materialised at a child dress-up party. The child then comes in. The Doctor and Rose wish him a happy birthday. He calls them to get a doctor. "Funny you should say that" says the Doctor.
In the second sketch, the shortest of the three, we hear the TARDIS materialise and the Doctor inquiring where they are. Then we hear a scream, as a woman runs out of a building. The Doctor apologises, just as the camera focuses on a sign for ladies toilets.
The third and final sketch starts with the Doctor stepping out of the TARDIS into Tim Westwood's (Pimp My Ride UK) garage. The Doctor asks if he is a Cyberman. Tim corrects him and says he is a DJ-man. The Doctor then recognizes this "alien that plays hip-hop music on the radio". Tim calls it old and a "TURDIS" and then says to the Doctor that he is going to "pimp his TARDIS". There are then several shots of mechanics attaching things to the TARDIS that are typical to Pimp My Ride (e.g. a customized number plate: T4RD15 and a disco ball where the normal light would be on top of the TARDIS). The Doctor doesn't mind as these are only cosmetic changes, but Tim has messed up the suspension and the Doctor dematerializes from the garage with the TARDIS jumping to different places in the garage.

Famous quotes containing the word laughing:
“Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder
The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;
Laughter and cries. The armies clash and shock,
And now the daylight-darkening ravens flock.
Cease, cease, O mournful, laughing Fenian horn!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
