My Brother-in-Law is Deluded

Now before you think I am going to launch into a hateful tirade designed to malign various in-laws, I need to state empathically that I am crazy about all my extended family members. But make no mistake Pablo* is, in fact, deluded. The reason being - he thinks Doctor Who’s David Tennant looks like singer/songwriter Neil Finn of Split Enz and Crowded House fame. It seems that Pablo was looking over my first blog, apparently came to this conclusion and then was kind enough to send me a pic to illustrate this “fact.”


I ask you readers (all 3 of you...including Pablo), what is he thinking?? Apart from the extraordinarily generalized ensemble and über-vague hairstyle similarity, what else is there? I mean if we’re going to talk about startling similarities, surely there would be no better display than to point out the fact David Tennant looks uncannily like Charlie Korsmo circa his starring roles in Men Don’t Leave & Dick Tracy.

Man I miss those old Separated At Birth books. Anyone remember them? Well in the spirit of nostalgia and to go on with this Doctor Who theme, I give to you the following images, which should provide you with incontrovertible evidence that these individuals were indeed separated at birth. But before I do that, I need to preface while it is true I have perhaps an unnatural obsession, at the moment, with all Doc phenomena, I want to assure you that this blog will not be isolated to that topic. I have a variety of questionable obsessions from which to ramble. It is because of this actuality my sister Goo*, like my Scottish pal, had encouraged my blog-writing in the guise of sibling support; but I am quite certain it’s so instead of boring her to tears with details about things like the long-defunct, but among the funniest shows in history, Mystery Science Theater 3000, for example, I can spread that heapin’ helpin’ of useless information in this locality.

Without further ado, I give you the one of the Doctor’s most popular past companions, Sarah Jane Smith, played winningly by Elisabeth Sladen and two-time Oscar nominee and current Battlestar Galactica star, Mary McDonnell:

Next we have the Doctor’s current companion (and no I didn’t see the last episode because I was trying to catch up on my Torchwood, so if she’s dead or something, DON’T TELL ME, ANYBODY!). Ahem…here we have the Doctor’s latest companion, Donna Noble, played by famous, award-winning English comedienne Catherine Tate and Edina Monsoon of Absolutely Fabulous played by famous, award-winning English comedienne Jennifer Saunders:

Well that’s pretty much it when it comes to the Doctor Who would-be cast members. I’m sure there’s more but these were the first that popped into my head. And they are certainly more valid than the absurd notion that Neil Finn looks like David Tennant. If anything, Neil Finn is starting look like a crazed, disheveled Patrick Duffy:
