{{rename|[[Untitled (FG cutaway gag)]]? [[Inside Family Guy (TV story)]]? Having watched around fifteen seasons of ''Family Guy'', I can say pretty confidently that cutaway gags are not titled. This name appears to have come from the in-universe continuity announcer, which therefore is in-universe info, not the title of the cutaway gag. Unless if this ''has'' been called "''Doctor Who Farted''" officially, this needs a rename.}}

'''''Doctor Who Farted'''''{{Fact}} was a comedic cutaway gag that was broadcast within the ''[[Family Guy (series)|Family Guy]]'' episode {{wi|Inside Family Guy}}. It featured the return of [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]]. The skit was promoted by the [[BBC]].<ref name="dwtv">[https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/david-tennants-tenth-doctor-joins-family-guy ''David Tennant's Tenth Doctor joins Family Guy'' on doctorwho.tv]</ref>
 
The sketch was non-parodical, but as there was no attempt to portray genuine events within the ''Doctor Who'' universe, rather a humorous depiction of the ''Doctor Who'' series within the ''Family Guy'' world, this Wiki does not treat it as a [[T:VS|valid source]].
 
== Synopsis ==
The [[Tenth Doctor]] has [[fart]]ed inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] and tries to keep a woman from knowing.
 
== Plot ==
[[Lois Griffin|Lois]], [[Meg Griffin|Meg]], [[Chris Griffin (Doctor Who Farted)|Chris]], [[Stewie Griffin|Stewie]] and [[Brian Griffin|Brian]] watch [[television]] in their living room as a continuity announcer can be heard saying "we now return to ''[[Doctor Who Farted (in-universe)|Doctor Who Farted]]''":
 
An [[Alien (Doctor Who Farted)|unidentified alien race]] is destroying what appears to be [[1950s]] [[London]]. The Tenth Doctor, having just farted, emerges from the [[TARDIS]]. A woman enters and says that they have to go back to the [[21st century]], but the Doctor refuses. When the woman asks why, he tries to waft the fart away, while awkwardly saying 'So, how was your [[weekend]]?'
 
== Cast ==
* [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor Who]] - [[David Tennant]]
* [[Woman (Doctor Who Farted)|Woman]] - [[Rachael MacFarlane]]
* Announcer - TBC
 
=== Characters ===
* [[Tenth Doctor]]
* [[Woman (Doctor Who Farted)|Woman]]
* [[Lois Griffin]]
* [[Meg Griffin]]
* [[Chris Griffin (Doctor Who Farted)|Chris Griffin]]
* [[Stewie Griffin]]
* [[Brian Griffin]]
 
== Crew ==
* [[Writer]] - [[Andrew Goldberg]]
* [[Director]] - [[Joe Vaux]]
* [[Producer]] - [[Kim Fertman]]
 
== References ==
* The cutaway is set up as the Griffins watching the show on TV in their [[living room]].
* The woman tells the Doctor that they have to get back to the [[21st century]].
 
== Story notes ==
* ''Family Guy'' obtained permission from the [[BBC]] to use ''[[Doctor Who]]''. {{fact}}
*The skit was subject of an article in the ''[[Radio Times]]'' and the official Doctor Who website. <ref name="dwtv" />
*The Doctor wafts the smell by opening the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] door outwards, rather than inwards. This echoes a conversation between the [[Idris|humanoid TARDIS]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'' regarding the fact that the Doctor continues to incorrectly open the TARDIS doors inwards. Other such cases were seen in [[TV]]: ''[[The Ice Warriors (TV story)|The Ice Warriors]]'', ''[[Time-Flight (TV story)|Time-Flight]]'' and ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]''.
*The BBC previously held the UK terrestrial broadcasting rights to ''Family Guy'' from 2005 to 2015, during which it aired primarily on [[BBC Three]], as well as [[BBC Two]], thus sharing channels with ''Doctor Who'' and ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]''. By the time ''Inside Family Guy'' aired, the rights had been relinquished to [[ITV]], with the episode having its UK premiere on {{w|ITV2}}.
