Doctor Who: Time Crash

Never had any idea this brilliant mini episode exist. The 10th doctor meeting 5 was something I never knew I needed but can't live without now.

This Doctor Who short first appeared as part of the Children in Need charity presentation in 2007. Designed to fit seamlessly between the season three finale, and the already seen teaser for that year's Christmas special, the short is a funny crossover, that is as much a meta ode from its writer, as anything else.

Having said goodbye to Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), The Doctor (David Tennant) has a paradoxical meeting with The Doctor (Peter Davison) when their Tardises (Tardi?) merge. The tenth Doctor tells the Fifth about how much he loved being him, and what traits he continues with - before solving an issue on board with a textbook causal loop paradox.

As I say, the episode is mostly a way for Stephen Moffat to get out his feelings for "his" Doctor, in this case Peter Davison. This is back before David Tennant would meet and marry Davison's daughter, so he gets to poke some gentle fun at his future Father-in-law's missing hair and middle-aged spread. The love from both the star and writer is palpable though.

Some funny gags and some poignant moments, all in 8 minutes of TV. The only shame is that there isn't more of it.

It wasnt funny, and the storyline was basic so clearly it was just ment to be funny. Tennant is really annoying, like an underdeveloped Matt Smith played by the wrong actor. The curse of fatal death is much better

This short adventure featuring two doctors was absolutely amazing, it had such an epic feel and I felt I had died and gone to heaven. When the new series started I began getting DVD's of the classic series and Peter Davison's stories such as Earthshock and The Caves Of Androzani were great and proved how good a doctor he was. So to have Peter Davison and possibly the best Doctor of them all David Tennant together was magical. The story also gets the chance to pay homage to Peter Davison and what he did as the character all those years ago, this story leaves everyone smiling and feeling nostalgic but it also leaves the question 'Will the doctor meet any of his selves again?' based on the quality of this short story, I sincerely hope so. Doctor Who is still as strong as ever!

This story is interesting and a beautiful tribute to the Doctor of Peter Davison, they use concepts that we could not have imagined to explain this time clash, funny script, and incredible performances, a good start for season 4.
