The Doctor and I

Posted: 08 Feb 2010 10:40 PM PST

It’s John Barrowman, taking the song “The Wizard and I” and making it a song about, um, the Doctor and, er, him.

You have been warned…

I knew John Barrowman was capable of many things, but I never had him figured for a singer of filk

In the days of the classic series, no one would ever do that…
