Mark Gatiss as Mr. Borusa.

The Pitch of Fear was a comedy sketch written by Mark Gatiss, which parodies the initial pitch meeting for Doctor Who.

It stars Gatiss as Mr. Borusa (in reference to the Time Lord of the same name), David Walliams as Sydney Newman, and Paul Putner.

Alongside The Web of Caves and The Kidnappers, it was the first of three sketches first broadcast as part of BBC Two's Doctor Who Night on 13th November 1999.

All three sketches were later released as a special feature on Disc One of the DVD box-set, The Beginning.
