1. Last week, due to the trending news story about Jack White’s anti-banana stance (and his affiliation with Weeping Angels), we discussed The Great Banana War. This week, a new story has popped up in the media: Dole has developed a wearable banana for runners that they will be debuting at the 2015 Tokyo Marathon. Oh! Running! The Doctor know all about running. Since bananas are fantastic for preventing cramping, no wonder he loves them so much. This invention is also perfect for The Doctor considering his love of both gadgets and accessories.

As the video says about the wearable banana, “It’s the best companion for any marathoner.” Features include a wrist strap, an LCD display, and a multipurpose monitor. The device is able to detect running time, heart rate, and optimal banana-eating intervals. We wonder, how well would it be able to handle the wibbly wobbly nature of time? Also, would it be able to monitor two hearts?

2. When thinking of crossovers and parodies, it is not uncommon to connect Doctor Who with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. One of the most famous fan-made examples of this is the fantastic Doctor Who Parody by The Hillywood Show®. What most fans are not currently aware, however, is that there is an older video that connects the two franchises. In 1984 at a convention (according to the description), the beloved Nicholas Courtney performed ‘The Time Warp.’ As you will see, he masterfully teases the audience by stalling for quite some time. For those who want to skip to the finale, go to the 5:19 mark.

3. It is well known that Douglas Adams is a member of the Doctor Who writing and script editing family. There have even been references on the show to his The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series. I recently found a gem of a fan-made crossover from 2009. YouTube user Andrew Orton created an excellent informational video on Daleks in the style of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy television series. The second video below is from this show and is included for comparison.
