Amazing Internet Things: Doctor Who Meets The Hunger Games

DWlogo2.jpg
The Doctor Who fandom is no stranger to fan-made YouTube videos – there are recaps and trailers and odes to favorite characters and romantic pairings, set to virtually every kind of sappy pop song in existence. Yet, still, despite the veritable flood of all manner of Whovian videos online, there still manage to be a few that are just the tiniest bit more awesome than the rest.

This particular Amazing Internet Thing imagines Doctor Who done in the style of popular teen series The Hunger Games, featuring several different Doctors as well as some other familiar faces about to face off in the in the Capitol for a fight to the death.

The clip is wonderfully put together; in fact, it’s so well done you could easily see this as the trailer for an actual episode. And in fact, other than the majority of the characters having to kill each other problem – which surely Steven Moffat could figure out a way to get around – it would probably be the best premise ever for the 50th anniversary.

Check it out for yourselves below – and tell me, if you had to make a decision – who is the Katniss of this story? (Smart money is probably on River, but didn’t Martha already have to basically survive on her own in the wild for a year?)

Lacy's love of British TV is embarrassingly extensive, but primarily centers around evangelizing all things Doctor Who, and watching as many period dramas as possible.

Digital media type by day, she also has a fairly useless degree in British medieval literature, and dearly loves to talk about dream poetry, liminality, and the medieval religious vision. (Sadly, that opportunity presents itself very infrequently.) York apologist, Ninth Doctor enthusiast, and unabashed Ravenclaw. Say hi on Threads or Blue Sky at @LacyMB.
