Comic Relief 2007 was a special Doctor Who skit that crossed over with The Catherine Tate Show.

The Doctor uses the alias "Mr Logan". Lauren questions him on whether he is the Doctor. He eventually becomes annoyed and reveals his identity by pulling out his sonic screwdriver.

Synopsis

A man supposedly known as "Mr Logan" is teaching Lauren. Though she is convinced that he is the Doctor.

Plot

The Doctor, under the name of "Mr Logan", teaches an English class. The Doctor and Lauren argue over whether "Logan", a Scottish man, is qualified to teach English. Lauren accuses him of being the Doctor, then argues with him over William Shakespeare. Eventually, "Logan" gets fed up with Lauren's nonsense, pulls out his sonic screwdriver (revealing himself to be the Doctor), and uses it to turn Lauren into an action figure of Rose Tyler. Lauren then incomprehensibly manages to say, "I still ain't bovvered", despite now being an inanimate object.
