Hedz (series)

Hedz was a children's satirical television sketch series that ran on CBBC from 2007 to 2011.

The show parodied various celebrities and political figures of the time, using actors who wore oversized cardboard cutouts of the celebrities faces over their own.

The series is of note to the Doctor Who universe for one such recurring sketch in the earlier episodes in which an actor pretending to be either the Tenth Doctor or David Tennant (more likely the latter, due to the use of a thick Scottish accent) would appear in a scenario that incorporates something that rhymes with the word "who", and introduces himself as "Doctor" followed by the thing in question, as a clear pun on "Doctor Who". One such example includes a scene of him sitting on top of a giant snooker cue and saying "Hello, I'm Doctor... Cue!

The Tenth Doctor/David Tennant also appears in the season 1 episode 8 edition of the "Living Room Grand Prix" sketch, where he is the latest challenger (introducing himself as "Doctor I'm-Gonna-Beat-You") to compete in a race against, the pair being depicted as miniature versions of themselves, racing around a slot car track set up on a living room floor. The Doctor/Tennant attempts to cheat at the race using his sonic screwdriver (depicted here as a literal screwdriver from which he fires light beams) but ends crashing his car, losing the race.

Another series of sketches that is of looser note to the DWU is one in which, under the guise of "golfing legend-turned outlaw, Tiger Hood" attempts to save a fair maiden from a mild inconvenience: the maiden in question being an unidentified Billie Piper, whose cardboard cutout face appears to have been taken from that of Rose Tyler in The Idiot's Lantern.
