Torchwood - Banned from Argo (fanvid)

[TARDISstowaway]

I found myself thinking today, "you know, that song Banned From Argo could really be about Torchwood." I quick internet search later I found this delightful vid. Thank you for reading my mind!

[watchstuff13]

torchwood and filk great stuff

[locurafea]

have to say that this video has best timing ever, love the scenes. Our record is our pride, and Our doctor loves humanity is the best moments.

[4skymylove]

Adorable!

[VulcanFleet]

16 people got caught by the shore police.

[the3rdjoker]

I'm glad you include the great stopwatch joke lol

[jsm666]

@Blowfishahead m/m or f/f - in other words, gay pairings in fan-fiction (and increasingly in canon). The very first was, ironically enough in the context of the song, Kirk/Spock.

[Rememberingyou43]

@Blowfishahead Lol, slash is just the romantic pairing of two (or more) characters from a show, book, manga or other wise. They are usually not paired up in the show or book or whatever.

^.,^

[AuglereDeRosenkinde]

Dudes- has anyone done one of this song to Doctor Who'scurrent series????? heheh I wish they'd do that on te hshow.. have the Eleventh Doctor and Jack od this song. HEHEHEH

[AuglereDeRosenkinde]

IT kinda spoils it though, because Leslie Fish, the vocalist on this acts like she hates this song because scifi con-goers would always ask them to sing it, and because she thinks it's full of gibberish and not in line witih her activist beliefs. That's kind of sad... but.. the song is a WICKED COOL SONG. I LOVE IT.

[sugarhigh17]

I saw this video a while ago and just came back to it... I have to know is it implied that gwen drugged and took advantage of ianto? She bought something green and Ianto is drugged with something green...

Fun video! Owen <3

I miss torchwood. Until next summer I guess.

[Allronix]

LOL. "Captain's taste were simple..." indeed. (Hell, Jack would consider James an amateur). Definitely added favorites.

[jsm666]

@Allronix The novelisation of the reboot Star Trek film implies that the 'new' version of James Kirk isn't that far behind Jack Harkness. "And they were ALL humanoid... I think."

[Iloveorliandwicked]

This is really GREAT! It's clever and the clips and song suit eachother really well!

[jp36356]

I complete blame this video for my Torchwood addition. I was trying to find a copy of the song to listen too, and one day was like, just what is Torchwood anyway? So thanks. Still haven't decided if it's a good thing or not....

[Ananomouse]

This is bloody brilliant. The timing was great, the clips perfectly shown and this is a 12/10

[Pirategirltoo]

I love this video, i cant stop watching it!!!

[jollieollie36]

YAY!! Very funny and it also combines my other scifi love of Star Trek (although also in Spoof form...hehehehe).

[reallollabunny]

Love 2:33 - 2:43 - very well done :D

[GusF]

What episode is the scene with the naked Owen in the vault from?

[ollytennant]

@GusF It's called "Day One"

Series 1 Episode 2

[TARDISstowaway]

This made me giggle like a crazy person!

[thereisnospoon287]

0:51-1:03 is the BEST. i laughed my ass off.

[sectionDOTone]

@thereisnospoon287 glad you got my dirty joke

[reallollabunny]

@sectionDOTone

Nicely done ]:->

[kevincostnermyhero]

@thereisnospoon287 I had to watch that bit again to make sure I wasn't reading too much into it, lmao. Anywho, what episode is that scene from? The one between 0:51-1:03, where Jack has his eyes closed and his jerking his head around?

[kevincostnermyhero]

@kevincostnermyhero Nevermind, I figured it out. :)

[KristinaofDenmark]

This is just ridiculously good! It has great timing, inventive choices, and it's hilarious. Damn! 5* and going in my favs.

[sandssavvy]

Still my favorite Torchwood vid. :)

[TheSoulRemover]

XD Ianto taught the computer how to swear lol

[RocksHaveUrgesToo]

::snerk:: I love this! Love the song by itself and hadn't thought of pairing it up with Torchwood - but it totally works!

You = Awesome.

^__^

[HiBRachel]

Lovely use of an old filk! Great smile and smirk take shots, as well as an innovative use of walking shots.

[KyrrdisDarkMoon]

Very clever indeed! A great use of a classic filk song. The video quality and editing is truly outstanding. This is vid is simply fun to watch.

[pinkdiamondsq]

Very clever!

[twilightnotthebook]

aaah still dont remember/totally want o know what episode the exploding rat is from!

:P

[joidnew]

Exploding rat is from s1e2 "Day One". Owen is experimenting to see what is likely to happen to the girl who has been possessed by the sex-gas alien and his results are rather disturbing.

*BLAM!*

Rat Jam.

[KatMEW15]

Any way of downloadin this? It's AWESUM!!!

[typacsk]

So, I hear people have been adding verses to this song over the years. Is there an official version?

[HiBRachel]

@typacsk This is the official version - written and sung by Leslie Fish.

[Mdgirlterrie]

that was fantastic!

[Specialisyou]

haha this is awsome.

[brigitta00123]

this is sooo GREAT! really good vid! the song fits scarily well with torchwood. as in that can't be a coincidence! XDDDDD

[Leaviel]

this song fits... a little too well..

[LittleTeaPot1]

LOL That song is going to be in my head for ages now

Oh my gosh.. .that Capt Jack Capt Jack kiss O.O sorry but it was amazing... O.O

nice job btw! xD *hums tune*

[arclevel]

Oh, this was absolutely hilarious! Good job! :-)

[brokenbitsoflove]

We so need to beg her or someone to write a Torchwood filk of this. That would be so cool wonderfully made video love.

[candymutt]

LOL love the vid funny when jack pulls out a banana at the begining well done! xx

[kelp215]

Song goes really well with your edited version. Also, thanks for the high-quality. Most fan-vids tend to have really bad quality. 5 stars.

[lightyearsfromnow]

Very clever video, thanks for the smile...I need it after COE.

[WireMosasaur]

I can watch this again and again and I still love it.. xD

Also I want to point out that there's no such thing as Torchwood slash.. EVERYTHING'S PROBABLY CANON AT SOME POINT... xD

[sectionDOTone]

Thanks!

Have you watched the third series of TW yet?

[WireMosasaur]

Not yet! :D

I'm saving it all up until I can have a massive Torchwood binge and watch the whole series at once, hee hee.

(plus I have difficult access to it at the moment, but that will change soon)

[ZeASK]

I just want you to know that watching this never fails to bring a smile to my face. Thanks so much for making and sharing this.

[NansJns]

:-D That was great fun! The editing and effects were all spot on!

[WiccanWitch61646]

*twitch* Must...resist...need to write...songfic... O_O

[yamara34]

<3 star trek & drwho/torchwood

[chengloki]

Query, anyone. Has anyone heard of another season of "Torchwood"?? I haven't heard a thing. And what happens without Owen and Tosh?? I may be a Yank, but I enjoy the series. (As well as the DR. I like David Tennant, but the best was Jon Pertwe). =Stefan=

[sectionDOTone]

Season Three is on the way! The DVDs will be released on the 27th of July so I guess they will air at least one week before, but I don't have a date yet either.

10 is my doctor! ;-)

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

I hear series three is gonna be aired over one week in June. But it migth be different in america

x

[crayonpafc]

20th July - USA

[chengloki]

[51stcenturygirl]

AWESOME! Editing is spot on and I love effects.

[richardradox1966z]

I love this, great work :).

[undeadking13]

Awesome song and great choice on the clips! I love that you put in Ianto doing his lil rap from the outtakes!

[jennydexter]

Still as good as the first time I saw it! Great editing too.

[ihateallandme]

This was always one of my fav filk songs, and it is perfect with this vid. Totally brilliant. I know Leslie, I hope she loves the parody of this, I sure do!

[KatMEW15]

I luv this vid, it is TOTALLY aewsome & soo TRUE!! Besides he hinted in Countrycide that he had at least snogged an alien!! Neva mind bin with 1! Captain Jack is a MYSTERY!!

[XCymraegPrincessX]

This is genius!!

"The Captain's tastes were simple, but his methods were complex.

We found him with five partners, each of a different world and sex."

Haha you can't describe Captain Jack better than that :)

great video editing as well :D

[Kalily09]

Great! Thanks for this :D Pure win.

[EllipticEscher]

OMFG, best Torchwood vid ever.

[vicodissimus]

This is sooo funny... and so very very well done!

I think I have heard this song... so many years ago. Who could know that it fits so well?!:-)

Wonderful work, thanks for sharing it! *favourites*

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

havent listened to this in ages! It ROCKS! SO funny!!

[Mithrilluin]

*laughs hysterically* I love Leslie Fish, and Star Trek, and it's uncanny how well this song works for Torchwood (particularly Jack)! 5/5 and a fav!

[river130263]

Absolutely awesome! I'm out of words! One of the best videos I've ever seen!

[AnnieLynn333]

Bloody brilliant!

[IsisDelphia17]

[sinoftam]

[SweetLady104]

WOW!! Really cool! Well done!!

[EmilieS2]

[greenladynz]

[Lyddiiii]

Anyone know where this song is avalible in it's entirity for download?

Great vid by the way (Y)

[HiBRachel]

Try looking up Leslie Fish on Last FM. She might have it posted. It is one of her earliest ones. Anyone read her novels?

[nvek69]

that was seriously, SERIOUSLY fucken funny.

never heard the song before - i'm gonna look it up right now!

congratulations ; )

[valeriesprague]

That is GENIUS.

I understand the Torchwood team are also banned from shopping at Argos.

[Cait4149]

i love this video it pretty much makes my day!!

[KerrAvonAlpha]

Well done. A clever twist on an old song - much better done than I would have thought possible!

[lauraislost]

I LOVE this!

It fits perfectly, hehe!

[BeejieB]

Seriously, WINS. This is amazing. Hadn't even heard the song before I saw this. You're amazing. :)

[meres68]

That was full of fun! Loved how you were able to get the video to match up with the lyrics. Good job.

[wycked]

that's fun!

[SilentStep]

YOU WIN.

[theboojie]

ROFL! Perfect combination (though wish the song wasn't chopped up for the vid). Totally fitting and funny. Kudos.

[murderbynuns]

this still makes me howl with laughter every time I watch it and my brother now loves it to and thanks to this he is now hooked on Torchwood too.

[jedithistle]

Absolutely wonderful. Had to stiffle the laughter so I wouldn't wake up the entire house!

[Annie158]

I love this vid.

Is this a Star Trek song? it sounds familair.

[Wrenn00]

It was written by Leslie Fish and is a Star Trek filk. I have it on a signed CD from her. She only does it now live...  when bribed. Often for charity.

[ThisTorchwoodFan]

great vid:D

as much as i dont like the song it fits well and everything with the vid.

(fav)

[holzrofl]

this is well good well done this must have took you ages loving the song:p

[BloodyBun]

This is SO sweet.

Great vid. The text could stay for just a little longer.

And it was wonderful to hear something of Lesile Fish.

Thank you.

[marginaliana]

This is truly, truly genius. I laughed myself sick. Love it!

[dvanulya]

This is hysterical. Thanks!

[iAmLostGirl]

Fantastic.So funny,I hope you will make more TW vids.Great:)

[lavena138]

Haha, brilliant! I laughed til I hurt. ^_^

[evemylestorchwood]

i thought i'd hate it cos it kinds takes the piss out of torchwood, like that dead ringer thing, but it is great!

[echolime]

I love Torchwood, so when I make fun of it or try making fun of it I do it with the best of intentions and lots of love. And after hearing Leslie's song and the lines of the 'proper cool first officer' and the Captain I just couldn't resist. I'm glad you liked it!

[jennydexter]

Cheers me up every time I watch it!!!!

Love the stopwatch bits. Wish I could make videos like this! You are a star!

[colourfulblindness]

Whar did you use to make this video? IT'S GREAT!!!

[texgodiva2s]

You have so utterly made my day and affected not only my merry existance but also that of friends and family becos I intend to sing for aforementioned on my upcoming birthday--and shall practice lots, so I too can be banned from Argo's==what a hoot of a song..Please investigate the P****Song by Uncle Bonsai, I'm thinking you'd love it too!! Many happy laughs on this cheery Vid!!!!!

[MrColton]

Please Make MORE!!!

[TeikaChikata]

Oh this is great. I love it

[DaystarDragon]

Brilliant!!

[DoctorWhoLoverTBCEDT]

that is soo great, love the song

[loobyX3]

You know, there are some fanvids you look at because they sound amazing, then they turn out to be a fair bit of a let down. Then you get the ones that you look at even if they don't sound so great, and they turn out to be the best ones.

This happens to be one of the latter, absolutely fantastic!

[queerlybeloved]

Absolutely love it! :) Brilliant vid.

[fishslap911]

Oh man, I just watched this three times in a row, SO brilliant! I'll be enjoying this for a long while to come, thank you for being so talented! :D

[lecagot2]

Other than some of the gay crap, the Vid rocks.

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

i hav seen this like a million times and it never fets old

[lyskitsune]

This really is the best ever. Makes the others cry for shame. Laugh every time I watch it.

[BrightLemonTree]

Love, love, love this. I laugh every time I see it.

[popodonistev]

i love this video. it works so well! watched it a ridiculous amount of times now and still giggling away to myself.

[neuralcluster]

That was really awesome! Great job.. loved the quick, high contrast black and white shots.

[kzintikween]

love torchwood and im glad someone else knows who leslie fish is.

[TorchwoodFanGirl]

Soo much love for this Vid. There couldn't have been a more perfect song written for the TW team. And your editing is spectacular.

[r0l0p0l0]

where is that clip at 1:50 of Ianto dancing from??

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

its a dvd extra on the first series boxset - he's rapping on it. search on here for Torchwood - Season 1 - DVD Extras - Ianto's Rap. Hope that helps xoxoxox

[Kimblee18]

Oh... my... God. YOU are my new hero! XD Brilliant!

[spacegirlg]

THAT was a labor of love. Brilliant.

[BrightLemonTree]

Hilarious, and clever! Well done.

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

watched it 4 times now and it gets better every time

[samm0905]

[IzDiaries]

Ooh, that was funny.

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

[auntiealien]

great song! fits perfectly with the characters and clips; well done!

[celticwytch1]

Love it, just had to add it to my favourites..

[avondale999]

Oh, that is TOO funny! Great adaptation of a classic...

[littlemissyme123]

good video

i just dont like the music lol

apart from that its good

[popodonistev]

this fits so well! it's fantastic!

[Torchwoodteam]

great!!

[fernman2300]

THATS THE BESTS EVER!!!!

LV,NV

[darkducki]

soooo funny! the songs really catchy too...

XD

[DrToshikoSato]

I found myself unable to watch for laughing! It was brilliant!

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

A very...interesting video.

Very well done and very amusing :D

Great effects.

[sectionDOTone]

well, 'there's quite a list..' to quote Ianto :D

for real though; the viewer has been left alone with this (and his/her naughty imagination), they even refused to answer that particular question on the DVD commentaries, but since slash is cannon in TW I'm sure we all came up with at least one answer otherwise just google 'Torchwood slash fanfiction stopwatch'

[WireMosasaur]

Things you can do with a stopwatch! xD

Love it.

[scarfhs1]

thanks for posting this, it is years since I have heard filking and the video is brilliant.

[ltxdv8]

Stumbled onto this and laughed my butt off. Really great vid!!

[samm0905]

where did you get the song from i've been trying to find it and have had no luck

[frow9405]

Try KayShapero [dot] net [slash] FishSongs [dot] htm

[KosephMivyotlh]

I heard Banned from Argo years ago and always loved it! Thanks for the vid!

[Torchwoodgirl123]

OMG brill song and vid

[keepingthetardis]

Love vid. Song makes me lol. Also I agree with Demonchilli, the editing on this vid is brilliant. What software do you use?

[sectionDOTone]

For recutting the audio I've used Nero 7's Wave Editor (simple but does the trick, I like when I can 'see' the music), for the video I've used VirtualDub to cut the initial files and then Magix Video Deluxe = Magix Movie Edit Pro for the final edit.

[DemonChilli]

Great editing, hilarious song. 5 and faved. You deserve it.

[001100114]

That was great!! Your editing was really neat. :-)

[sectionDOTone]

I just wanted to thank you all so very much for your comments! As soon as I have a little more at hand I'll be back editing, promise! And if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for a fanvid, I've just created a group (tw3) to share them.

[serendipity5367]

Really, really funny! The editing was great too, nice and sharp :)

[copyright108]

I am a trekkie and I stumbled on this by accident. When I heard the word starfleet in the last verse I almost fell off my chair in surprise! Also the fact that Tosh's surname is Sato and the communication officer in star trek Enterprise is called Hoshi Sato had me going mad for about an hour.

Loved the entire vid , especially Ianto's verse!

[emmagbg]

LOL

Love it!!

[AngelKnightNY]

VERY well made and the song was hilarious!!

[0super0fantastic0]

Hahaha. That pwned. I imagine a lot of public places WISH they could ban Torchwood, those crazy kids.

[StrangeMusic]

Great Video! Was laughing all the way through! And so fitting to each character.

[jekyllhj7]

HAHAHAHA>.. so funny

[Cinemalex]

Well made and very funny!

Also, congrats on the 10k+ views. :o)

[louiseroho]

this is all sorts of awesome!

[SierraLiegh71]

Wow Job well done

I can't wait to show this to my friends

SierraLiegh71

[tonygrrl]

That's really great! Cheers for the smiles.

[yavin1]

I agree. Awesome. The best fan video I have seen since before this place was bought out. Truly well done.

[de]

Awesome!
