Hey there everyone! Welcome to Caption Who. Here's a bit of backstory for you.....
 |
put a silly, funny, or downright goofy comment under it! It's definitely not a new or unusual thing: captioning and Doctor Who have been together for decades! In the very first issue of the Doctor Who Magazine in 1979, readers were invited to riff and joke with pictures from everyone's favorite science fiction program. It continued off and on in the zine for several years until it finally faded away. But even now in the zine you'll see nutty little captions on pics, having fun with the show. |
its Caption This! section allowed members to make fun of whatever SFC programming happened to be playing at the time. A number of members (including myself, using the nickname "GlitterRock") started referring to themselves as "Cappers" and we formed a close-knit online community. Eventually SFC showed the Paul McGann TV-Movie, which led to my own excitement for capping Doctor Who. |
 |
 |
closed up, I decided to start my own captioning venue online where people could enjoy making fun of programming: Glitter's Cap-Page Board!. And naturally, Doctor Who was always going to be on the schedule. These captions are from my main caption gallery. What I've done here, though, is repackage them for a DW fanbase. Every two weeks you can expect to see five new pages of captions from the classic series, the new series, or one of the 'sideways' other eras. As I said on the main page, if you like what you see, head on over to the main gallery to check out thousands of other captions on many other subjects. In here, though, enjoy a slightly-skewed romp through the Whoniverse! |

One of the Cappers over at the
Cap-Page Board
(which is where we all caption the series, if you didn't know) had a great suggestion for me to start giving little announcements here as to what's coming up for captioning (WHO-wise) -- in case you're interested to come in and join the fun for yourself. So here's what we'll be capping over at the Board for the next few weeks (dates may vary by a day or two):
January 30: "The Champion and Test Flight" (two Second Doctor TV Comic adventures!)

WE'RE BACK! A brand new year (our TENTH!) full of funny and frivolity throughout the Whoniverse! This week's update
(starting on page 1161)
features the mini Proms' adventure "Music Of The Spheres" and "Revenge Of The Slitheen" from The Sarah Jane Adventures! Unfortunately some bumps in real life
has kept me from giving you the regular 5-page update this time around, but don't fret. Next update I'll even it out with SIX pages! So enjoy all the Graske and Slitheen fun this time,
and come back in a couple weeks for more fun from Bannerman Road and the start of "Pyramids Of Mars!"
Merry Christmas everyone! It's time for the annual Caption Who Christmas special (hopefully we beat Eastenders this year)! In this update
(starting on page 1156)
we wrap up the end of "Journey's End" -- and go from the sober finale of that to the outrageous "The Galaxy Games," another TV Comic adventure with the First Doctor and his grandkids! Come back in 2012 for more comic fun, as well as the wrap-up of the David Tennant era, the debut of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, more Tom Baker stories, and more Other Eras madness! Happy holidays, and have a happy new year!
The epic capping of "Journey's End" continues! There's lots more fun in this update
(starting on page 1151)
including: the latest forecast from the Weather Dalek, the reveal of Luke Smith's secret boyfriend, and oh, so many pointless character flashbacks for no reason. And remember to come back here on the 25th for our regular Caption Who Christmas special!
There's more fun from "The Stolen Earth" in this update
(starting on page 1146)
and we keep on going right into "Journey's End!" Enjoy the giant Dalek cheese burger!
As promised here's our extra-sized update! This time around we wrap up "Planet Of Evil"
(starting on page 1139)
then jump right into the Tenth Doctor's "The Stolen Earth!" There's laughs at the expense of Richard Dawkins, Rose Tyler and the Brady Bunch! Come back next time for more and the finale, "Journey's End!"
Hiya all. Sorry, got a bit behind on things in "real life" so this update
(starting on page 1136)
is a page shorter than usual. But we wrap up "Turn Left" and get started with "Planet Of Evil," which is chock full of FARRAH'S HARROGATE TOFFEE goodness! I'll make it up to you with six pages in the next update.
Hey everybody! Sorry for the lateness in this update. Time and tide wait for snowman, it seems. But it's worth it, because this week we've got more TV Comic fun
(starting on page 1131)
with the First Doctor, John and Gillian, and the "Return Of The Trods!" And we've got what could very well be the first appearance of THE MASTER! And not any of that "the Meddling Monk and/or the War Chief was the Master" nonsense either. He's evil, he's got a goatee, he's got some mysterious bone to pick with the Doctor, and he comes up with a laughingly-bad -- and in the end, poorly thought out -- plan against him. Not only that, but TV Comic actually calls him "The Master!" Years from now when this appears in the Discontinuity Guide or whatever as canon, remember: you heard it here first!
And it's time for another question via email in...
LETTERS TO CAPTION WHO!
"The 11th Doctor has finished his second series. The menu says his stories are 'coming soon' but nothing's shown yet. When will Matt Smith be debuting at Caption Who?"
The answer is: next year! We'll be wrapping up riffs on the Tenth Doctor's era by the end of 2011/beginning of 2012, and after that ol' Smithy will make his official debut. So while there might be a little wait for the Eleventh Doctor on TV
in 2012, there'll be plenty of Eleventh goodness coming your way here!
"Midnight" finally falls in this first update of October
(starting on page 1126)
and we jump right on into "Turn Left!" There's lots of Whoy fun in this one, including: we compare 1973 and 2008 UNIT, we get a peek at the Drunken Asses' new holiday album, we go through every 'outer space' motif in the genre, and we get a free plug for Hefty's!
Hey all! This update
(starting on page 1121)
we wrap up both "A Christmas Story" and "Forest Of The Dead" (well, the Next Time bits anyway), and get right on into "Midnight!" There's lots of fun to enjoy this time around, including:
Klatuu 7 enjoys his Series 1 talking pen, Zee enjoys Dee Dee. the Doctor doesn't enjoy the courtesy fish meal,
and you find out what to do if your tour bus is attacked by the Saracen!
We bring an end to the riffing of River Song's first adventure (or last adventure, depending on your point of view) with the conclusion of "Forest Of The Dead"
(starting on page 1116)
and jump into a 'lil bit of the holidays in September with the TV Comic adventure "A Christmas Story!" The First Doctor and Santa Claus vs. a Demon Magician. You can't GET a better description than that!
This update
(starting on page 1111)!
continues our fun with the Doctor, Donna, and River as they try to avoid being Vashta chow, in "Silence In The Library" and "Forest Of The Dead!" Next update we'll finish up our library field trip and enjoy riffing another First Doctor TV Comic adventure.
We get to say hello to Melody Pond in this update
(starting on page 1106)!
First we wrap up "The Underwater Robot" (with one of the most eye-rollingly awful plot holes ever -- and it doesn't help the characters point it out, either!), then jump right into "Silence In The Library!" We get to meet Melody/River, watch Donna nearly pop out of her top, learn a fascinating fact about the Doctor's hair, and hey -- it's THE STIG!
We've got more fun with those wonderful "Davros Connections" in this update
(starting on page 1101)
then jump into another First Doctor comic adventure from the '60s, "The Underwater Robot!"
Here we are, with SIX pages as promised. We wrap up "The Unicorn And The Wasp"
(starting on page 1095)
then jump into riffing the 2entertain documentary "Davros Connections!"
And also as promised, this update we hit the big 1,000 page mark! My heartfelt thanks to all the hilarious cappers here for
giving enough of the funny to fill all those pages. And thanks to all you who come up day after day after week after month. That means you're enjoying it. And there's much, MUCH more to come!
We finish "Terror Of The Zygons" this update
(starting on page 1091)
and get into the Tenth Doctor and Donna's adventure with "The Unicorn And The Wasp!" There's lots of fun to be had this time, including: a guest appearance by Ken "Jeopardy" Jennings, we enjoy DewBe's "Doctor Who" song, and we learn why the Doctor's gathered everyone today.
We finish up "The Doctor's Daughter" in this update
(starting on page 1086)
and get started on "Terror Of The Zygons!" There's a lot of fun this time around, including: watching the Brigadier play RISK, Sarah Jane playing the lottery, and will the Doctor ever find the biggest toasted doughnut in the galaxy?
We start to wrap up "The Doctor's Daughter" in this update
(starting on page 1081)
and jump into another TV Comic adventure, "The Trodos Tyranny!" Be careful though: John's got a KNIFE!
It's time for more fun in the Whoniverse! We wrap up riffing on "Cyberwoman"
(starting on page 1076)
then get started on "The Doctor's Daughter!" There's lots of riffing to be had in that one, including: more fun with Martha's engagement ring, a deep and thought-provoking discussion on Hath language and breathing, and we make poke fun at a David/Georgina pairing years before it actually happened! Not sure whether that makes us precient or just sick in the head.
It's an update full of cybery-goodness this time 'round! We start by finishing off our riffing of "Revenge Of The Cybermen"
(starting on page 1071)
then jump into a special rerun-capping session of "The Romans," and finally get started on more robotic rambunctiousness with "Torchwood: Cyberwoman!"
It's back to Nerva for more fun with "Revenge Of The Cybermen!" In this update
(starting on page 1066)
the Doctor spends about half of it on his back, Harry cops a feel twice, and the Cybermen show up and are greeted with much riffing and disrespect!
And we've added a new link on the LINKS page. If you're a fan of Alex Kingston and/or River Song, check out
(starting on page Hello Sweetie!
Hey there all! In this update, we wrap up riffing on "Invasion Of The Bane"
(starting on page 1061)
and jump right on into Tom Baker's "Revenge Of The Cybermen!" This time round you'll see: Zee's -- um, unique admiration for Elisabeth Sladen, you learn what's more demeaning than the sonic lipstick, there's an appearance by Traveling Matt, and learn about a TV pitchman's plot to take over the earth!
Here we are, with more fun fun fun! Not only do we wrap up "Plague Of The Scorpi" and "Genesis Of The Daleks" in this update
(starting on page 1056)
but we start up riffing on the second Doctor Who spinoff, The Sarah Jane Adventures! So look forward to a visiting alien's pleas to Sarah Jane, Alan has an unfortunate tumble, and Maria -- well, Maria just gets no respect.
Lots and lots in this update! We get back to more comic funnybook fun with the First Doctor and his grandkids from TV Comic
(starting on page 1051)
with "Space Station Z-7" and the start of "Plague Of The Black Scorpi." We have the lightest "night" in alien history, and perhaps the most shocking of all -- JOHN IS RIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING! I mean, wow.
It's back to Skaro for more fun with "Genesis of the Daleks!" In this update
(starting on page 1046)
the Doctor has scarf woes, we learn about the hidden secret connecting Blade Runner and Doctor Who, and Sarah Jane gets threatened with a fate worse than death.
Next time look for more fun with the First Doctor's TV Comic adventures!
We're back! The ick is gone and I'm feeling much better! (many thanks for those who wrote in asking; it was very very kind of you) And as promised, we've got SIX pages of silly this time to make up for the less-page last time.
So this update
(starting on page 1040)
we finish up capping "The Poison Sky" and the rerun of "The Space Museum" and get straight into the classic "Genesis Of The Daleks!" You'll see critiques on Time Lord outfits, Tom Baker getting fed up with Silverman and Kimmel, Liz Sladen branching out into Marilyn Chambers' territory, and a BIG win for Dalek couples looking to wed!
Sorry for the delay. I'm feeling a bit icky so there's only four pages in this update
(starting on page 1036)
, but don't worry I'll make up for it with SIX next time. We're got more with "The Poison Sky" and enjoy a little recapping of "The Space Museum."
Happy New Year! We start off 2011 by wrapping up "The Sontaran Stratagem" and jumping right into "The Poison Sky"
(starting on page 1031)!
There's tons to enjoy this time around including more fun with Martha's ring, Indomitus ponders about the status of the Archangel Network, we poke at Rattigan Mandark, and we find out just what it takes to make a girl 25% hotter for Zee!
