Just posting something to a very old patreon post to see whether the notification system notices. I'll also point out, as I did above, that the picture on the fake "Julie"'s desk is the real Verity Lambert (the woman portrayed in "An Adventure in Space and Time"). And also, now you've seen some longer discussions with RTD in the confidential you watched you can see how David portrays him in the song.

Hey thanks for trying. I actually did get a notification, at least on my mobile phone. Don't know if it works on the Computer as well. Gonna find out tomorrow 🤣

PC update. It does show me, that there is a new comment and a new reply over here as well :) It doesn´t take me directly to the comment though, but to the right video and I have to search for the comment then. but since there are not too many comments under my videos at the moment it´s easily possible for me to find it. So yeah, it´s not perfect yet, but it´s 100% an improvement :) Thanks for testing :)

That video is good fun with all the references to New Who's events - I love it. Happy you enjoyed it. The picture on "Julie"'s desk is Verity Lambert, the original producer of Classic Who. The picture on "Russell"'s desk is Terry Nation, the writer and creator of the Daleks in Classic Who.

The original song was by Victoria Wood, called Barry and Freda. I've always liked it, so I knew what tune was being used here. I think there is also a video of Catharine Tate performing Barry and Freda herself. and yeh, the video is so much fun.

It is a great video and was made for the party at the end of filming for the final David Tennant episode. Apologies in advance if I'm just telling what you already know (or what is obvious from the song) but Russell and Julie are Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner the writer/showrunner and the producer who brought Doctor Who back to our screens. The song is a parody of an already comical song called The Ballad of Barry and Freda by Victoria Wood. A very talented British writer, singer, ac tor and performer who sadly died in 2016 aged 62. Her original song was about a late middle-aged couple at home. Freda wants wild uninhibited sex and he wants a quiet life watching tv or looking at catalogues of home-improvement equipment!

Yes it really is a great video, I liked it very much :) You don´t have to apologize. :) I´m always interested in what you have to say about a video :) I didn´t know that the song was a parody of an already comical song. :) Thank you for the additional info :)
