Oh, that's awesome -- I love the one Who fan cheerfully explaining who everyone is without missing a beat, right down to upside-down Jamie, and knowing instantly that "fish fingers and custard" had to be really recent. <3 <3 ("All kinds of Doctors here..." "And three Masters!", seriously, so cool that one of us is there being part of that!)

That video is so cool. I had no idea they were doing unboxing videos, so thank you for the embed.

Anyone else getting a bit of nervous tension every time they opened a folder? I expected some super porny cover to jump out every time. XD

What a spectacular thing to hear total strangers say familiar names and use familiar lingo.
