It might only be three minutes long, but Joshua Kahan's Japanese Doctor Who is incredibly humorous and, whether you are a Whovian or not, thoroughly enjoyable. (And surely, even the non-Whovians will know what a Dalek is, and how his version compares.) It parodies what occidentals might think a Japanese version of Doctor Who might look like, complete with martial arts and surprise weapons, and comes across as intended: a late 1970s or early 1980s (more likely the latter, given the wardrobe and colours used) video clip. It's simple to follow, and demonstrates that you don't need a big budget to produce something effective and worth a few repeat views. Kudos to Mr Kahan for bringing a smile to my face.
