Things We Saw Today: We’re All in for This Doctor Who Time Lord Tango

Good news everyone! Britain’s Strictly Come Dancing is just as outlandish as its American counterpart, Dancing With the Stars. This week’s episode featured a Doctor Who-themed number, where journalist Stacey Dooley danced a tango to the original Doctor Who theme. Dooley was dressed as the 13th Doctor while her partner Kevin dressed as a Cyberman.

The number is a delight from start to finish, complete with Dooley emerging from a Tardis and being swung around a projection of a giant clock on the dance floor. In fact, I feel like there could be an entire show that’s just fandom-themed dancers competing with each other. Get on it, Syfy.

Chelsea Steiner

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
