Sketches

Here is a selection of our favourite Dead Ringers sketches, as featured on Youtube. It's incredibly gratifying the way people record these bits and stick them up in such huge numbers, particularly sketches, which seem such an ephemeral form of comedy. In lieu of the much talked-about and increasingly mythical DVD release, this is pretty much the only place you can see them.

NEW! - CAROL VORDEMAN AD: Nice simple sketch. Good use of computer trickery too.

NEW! - MR MEN: Some lovely animation here that makes it work so well.

NEW! - FOX NEWS: Our take on Fox News for our American Election Special. Really enjoyed writing this.

BBC IDENTS: We couldn't make our own, but we had a lot of fun seeking out stock footage.

CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON QUITS: Our take on Eccleston's sudden departure from Dr Who, days after the series started.

TOKEN BRITISH BAD GUYS: An early sketch from series one, adapted from a radio sketch.

CRAZY FROST: We had the idea on a friday, and animator David Hooper completed it for the audience recording on the sunday. I don't think he slept!

CHRISTMAS DAY AT DR WHO'S: A contrast to our goofy sci-fi stuff, we wanted to do a more grim washed-out sketch with embarrassing pauses. Naturally all that went in favour of gags, but it's still loads of fun.

THE STREETS: Very tricky to do in one take, and it took ages, but it was worth it.

ITV NEWS: The kind and deluded soul who put this up on youtube actually spliced in the real graphics (which we couldn't afford to make). Good on him. Shame about the spelling mistake!
