Open All Hours (CON episode)

Open All Hours was the episode of Doctor Who Confidential broadcast in conjunction with Closing Time. It featured a scene where Matt Smith and James Corden amused themselves during a filming break at night. The two pretended to be the Doctor and Craig Owens in front of a video camera with a toy Dalek action figure while humming the Doctor Who theme tune... and laughably tone deaf.
