Okay, I've watched it. It really is spliced into quite a lot of very short pieces, but I do think it makes sense as a narrative of its own — but the question of parody remains; I'd be willing to call it merely humorous and not necessarily parodic, but it's a bit subjective.

Here's my report to help others make up their own minds: Doctor Who is in fact mentioned repeatedly, and what's more, we're shown the First Doctor and Susan Foreman as being members of its audience. This isn't impossible to rationalize, mind you, within the "in-universe Doctor Who TV show starring Peter Cushing as Dr Who" framework that is documented at Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks). But I do think there's grounds to disagree with me in that scene.
