Earlier this week I brought you two regenerations of The Doctor interacting with the Muppets. It took place at the O2 in London, England back on July 13th (oooh, my birthday) and 14th, 2018, at an event called The Muppets Take The O2. Tonight I thought…why not bring you the full event? And the guy who collected and edited together various recordings from around YouTube even added closed captions, so everyone can join in! (And for some of the segments you may need them on even if you’re hearing’s fine. That’s the downside of gonzo fan recordings. Not to be confused with fans recording Gonzo.)
This was actually the second of these events. The first taking place a year earlier, it’s a series of sketches and musical number like you’d expect from The Muppet Show. In addition to the Doctor Who/Pigs In Space crossover you’ll see plenty of other sketches and special guest star Bobby Monahan, but as with David Tenant (the Doctor chosen by the poster, who grabbed footage from various recordings and made one big video) there will be many more. Unfortunately it also has Pepe The Prawn. Sorry, couldn’t be helped. With out further ado, it’s time to get things started.
