I was reading this the other day. Steven talks about some record he had that he played over and over again in his youth (in the 80′s). For some reason it reminded me of Doctor in Distress, which was an ill conceived effort to save the BBC programe (isn’t that they way those people spell it?) “Doctor Who” while was on hiatus and was possibly to be canceled in 1985. Even though this song was recorded, the show did come back. It wouldn’t be canceled for another four years. This song however seems to live on. I remember it well too. I had a copy of the single. I have tried to forget it and hadn’t thought about it until reading Steven’s post. Well, I can’t keep it myself. I feel I must inflict it on all you reading this. So without delay, here is “Doctor in Distress”.
Yes, it’s a bloody video. I tried to find an MP3, but all I found was this, which doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Besides, the video “enhances” the experience anyway. Enjoy!
Oh
My
Goodness
Gracious!
I’m amazed. I have never heard that. Not even in college, where I knew guys who had European friends that would send them videotapes of the new episodes.
What a gosh-awful production!
Yeah. Like I said, I had the single. It was pretty bad, but I was only 15…so…..
Who did you know back then that got tapes from the UK? We might have had friends in common….
Joey Carruthers. I have never since met such a Danger Mouse fan.
Oh yeah I was buddies with Joey. I knew him well. Last I heard he had moved to San Francisco. I’ve tried to find him with no luck. I was a Danger Mouse fan too……
Wow. It’s such an awful song. Truly. Who writes that crap? I like Who, I’m sure, but geez. No wonder they weren’t able to save the show.

And in the UK, it’s “programme,” with 2 m’s.
