Not sure about orgies - though someone has edited shots of Matt's appointment with Billie in Secret Diary of a Call Girl into a Tennant episode, at least as still pictures. Passion and pathos, though, an undoubted sign of the Who times.

That must have taken an awful long time to put together! Who is the 70s hair man at 00:58?

It now takes me quite an effort to listen to the read worlds of that song without hearing those of the literal video version.

I'd forgotten about the literal video version, but I have seen it...

I've been waiting 20 years to see that again. Genius.

It is, isn't it? 'Forever's gonna start tonight...' as Pertwee becomes Tom B.

Me too, it's so good :-)

[parrot_knight]

Brilliant!

That's fabulous. The literalism of some of the imagery set to the lyrics is sheer genius!
