Chris: I'm actually surprised that no one has created like weird Doctor Who fanfiction where they take all the times where you guys have crossed over...like, cause you where in 'Jude' and then Matt Smith was in 'Confessions of a--' 'Diary of a Call Girl.' And then they try to weave all of those in together to like 'This is when they were on this planet, doing this thing...'
David: Yeah, I'm sure there must be a dark corner there somewhere...
Chris: Oh, there absolutely is.
David: Oh, I-- Somebody sent me a link to som-- Wow, there's some weird stories that people write.
Chris: Oh, yeah.
David: It gets really filthy!
Chris: It's-- There's a little, you know-- I think, you know-- Listen, there's maybe not as much 'Full Penetration' in the Doctor Who series as people would like to see.
David: A side people would like...Yeah, so they just write about it.
Chris: Yes, if so because--
David: My gob was smacked! I was-- I-- I di--
Chris: If you don't get to see the many vaginas of the Silurians, then you want to read about it.
David: It's very very peculiar to be reading someone you've never met describing your private parts in the way that they've...It's-- That's a peculiar...
Chris: To a 'T,' right? I mean they nailed it, clearly.
David: Some did, some didn't. If you go online, I've marked the ones that are more accurate.
Chris: David Tennant Approved.
David: Yeah, yeah...
Chris: Something thumbs up.
