dbskyler who had me checking out 'vvj5' and 'lost_spook' searches on del.ici.ous, and it turns out that my only non-fic bookmarks on there are fanvid recs, so have some more...
I think I've recced most of my faves, or they've gone, but let's have some of those fanmade trailers that are way more dramatic than anything a TV station like the BBC came up with back in the 70s or 60s...
Blake's 7 - 'film style' trailer for Blake. I'd say not really spoilerish, but it is trailing the final episode, so avoid if you're really sensitive about these things, otherwise mainly teasers:
Similar style trailer for Dungeons and Dragons episode 'The Dragon's Graveyard' (spoiler free):
And what about DW:
Well, Babelfish, who does excellent DW vids, has done a big dramatic trailer for both Seven's and One's eras.
...Oh, and a couple extra of the more usual kind:
Press Gang is a show with a strong surreal element that's usually almost entirely down to one character. If someone's dressed as a pink rabbit, chasing bank notes, selling half ping-pong balls, getting mysterious pizza orders, there are non-existent phones ringing and people are getting violent over broken prams, everyone just calls for Colin Mathews. (He's probably hiding in your wardrobe).
Here's why:
And I know I've mentioned this before, but someone did a fanvid of Malcolm from Spooks to the Inspector Gadget theme - I need to rec that again, just because. (Look, I reckon Malcolm in Planet of the Dead is a direct nod to Spook's longest-lasting boffin, and this vid even starts with a Doctor Who gag. It's a crossover!)
Plus, I think I noted this before, too, but this Wicked/ST: Voyager mash-up is so well-edited and not completely OOC, which makes it all the funnier... This is just priceless.
(Oh, and while you're there, check out the also v v funny Harry Kim Goes To Hogwarts and this, because Tom Paris is 007 - on the holodeck, frequently, knowing him.
There we go.

After all, it wasn't so long after RTD had said in Doctor Who Magazine that he took Spooks as a model for DW, in terms of opening each season as if it was a new show. So, obviously, he watches it... Clearly, therefore, the one Malcolm is a tribute to the far greater original. :lol:
