EDIT: Wednesday Frontpage! Thank you, my dudes! I do some reviews as a hobby, this week I checked "Cocoon", the game not the movie. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/zGih08pwVXA

Were getting a puppet episode of Star Trek at least.
darthstormer
Miss Piggy would be all over The Dr.
xj4low
Didn't the Buffy spin off Angle, do this?
tinyfootprints
Sontarans almost qualify as muppets themselves.
LeifHietala
It's already canon that Gonzo is extraterrestrial; him having innate skill with a TARDIS is not a big stretch.
mikeatike
Which would work better. The Doctor as a Muppet or not.
Im thinking either yes, or everyone but The Doctor is a muppet.
Now which Doctor... im thinking Capaldi.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Why not just make one of the puppets BE the Doctor, meeting the current incarnation, and then everyone's wondering when and how they're going to reincarnate into THAT.
Geokhan
Gonzo can hear what the TARDIS is saying. He calls her Blue Lady and would be flirting if he didn't have a thing going on back home with one hell of a chicken.
MarkSengenberger
I am on record as insisting that every movie ever needs to have as a bonus feature a 20-minute-long Muppet version of that movie.
jintoabriel
Already done as a short bit on stage, https://youtu.be/OSRAoSCO2O0

The Doctor referenced Arthur Dent from HHGG whose movie had a scene where the improbability drive turned them into yarn. It could happen.

I don't think any Doctor Who fan would even blink at this ;0
wozat
Doctor Who fans are told not to blink

I do have to say that "idiot / clumsy / silly character does something unexpected that no one else can do and then refuses to elaborate" is one my favorite comedy bits. Of course, it has to be used sparingly, but with proper timing, especially right at the climax of the piece where the idiot proves their worth and saves the whole . I love it.
Nanoline
Someone else to Gonzo: "How are you able to fly this thing?!"
Gonzo: *running around the console back and forth, yanking levers and twisting knobs, huffing and puffing* "Well it's *yank* not *shunk* that complicated *bong bing boof* once you turn the parking brakes off! *big lever down with a clunk, loud WHIRRRRRR* GERONIMOOOOOOOO!!!"
KerryCoder
Eleven: "That's my line!"
Gonzo: "It was mine, first!"
levyathyn
It should crossover as if the Muppets are just aliens, things that exist, and the Doctor already knows about them.
joenoone
You need thr "pigs in space" crew there too
Rijacki
There is a Dr Who/Muppets cross over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSRAoSCO2O0
KerryCoder
FWIW, David Tennant, in character AS the Doctor, did show up at the Muppets at O2, for a Pigs In Space appearance.
BlueDsc
Wouldn't even be the strangest thing Doctor Who has done.
kimwimgoddess
I think more shows should do this with the Muppets. NCIS: NYC The Pitt. Orange is the New Black (Is that still on? I don't know, I don't watch tv. I would watch that) On that, a muppet would be a lawyer, Miss Piggy, for example.
sfrinlan
Muppet Fargo, Muppet The Expanse, Muppet Game of Thrones. The possibilities are endless!
theadamabrams
Have you watched Legends of Tomorrow? It's a group of time travelers trying to save the world / protect history. There's an episode where they fight a possessed puppet, and another where they themselves get turned into puppets.
DarthAndy
There's an episode where they go to the LOTR set in New Zealand in 2002 to get John Noble to record some lines to impersonate the daemon that is being voiced by John Noble.
Whoisthisdoctorwho2000
Would watch the hell out of this... but every few minutes the doctor has a quizzical concerned expression when looking at the muppets like something is odd but he cant figure it out.
DYLANLEE79
The Doctor actually knows what species Gonzo is and calls him another "last of his kind".
Bacxaber
The term is endling.
DYLANLEE79
I know, I read the book.
Nanoline
Gonzo and the Doctor having a relatively somber conversation about the fact that they both know what it's like to have found your people, but to choose not to join them again, in part because of the new companions found since then (Muppets in Space etc).
StrangerRangerDanger
yeah but, thats not the cannon with "Muppets from space" movie, there's a whole Planet and spacefairing population of gonzos
Mikeiller
The very last scene in the movie/special/whatever shows Statler and Waldorf watching the show and commenting on how none of what they watched makes the slightest bit of sense.
goodbyeitwasfunwhileitlasted
I feel like there should be one person who acknowledges that there are muppets. Like, there could be a group of people who are running away from some dangerous event, and one of them notices Gonzo talking to the Doctor down an alley. They run past it at first, but then the camera changes to the opening of the alley and the person comes back into view and confusedly asks "is that a Muppet?" and then they get pulled back to running away by someone they were with.
goodbyeitwasfunwhileitlasted
That person should show up a few times that episode in similar events where nobody else has noticed the Muppets and they keep trying to show people to no avail. Eventually, they end up meeting the Doctor and the Muppets and become the next companion.
filiuspelei
That person would be the companion. They would ask several times what is up, and the Dr, in his typical manner, would pretend its perfectly normal
KingOfTheImgurians
I'd watch this without hesitation. It's just absurd enough. And, most critically to me: Doesn't have to involve modern-day London.
Biolog4Viking
Humbug
BarnegatLight
I read a Doctor Who / Sesame Street crossover once that worked really well.
crateo
But not as absurd as some other Dr who episodes, to be fair.
TheWeebleWobler
They did this on that buffy spin off.
Wolfshead009
Angel. Was a decent episode.
happywalker
oscar the grouches trash can and the tardis are linked in some timey wimey way :-P
Mikeiller
At one point the Doctor has to use his "rarely ever used or acknowledged emergency escape door" and then we see him crawling out of a garbage can while Oscar yells at them.
JayDeeDubs
I've watched a lot of Doctor who, and I'd watch that too
Canigetbannedagain2
I haven't watch a lot of Doctor Who, but I should and I would totally watch this
78927x4No1
I was there for the slab episode and the farting babies, by comparison this idea is beyond radical.
DALLASLAVOWNER
farting babies was bad but spiders on the moon was just awful
78927x4No1
Oh yeah, I forgot the moon abortion. I vaguely remember the Rosa Parks episode as well.
