I know what you mean. I was sure it would be funny, but I had no idea it would be that funny! :-)
I loved the cameos too and it was so cleverly done too - with Tom Baker being absent and Paul McGann getting a job so he couldn't protest (and we now know what job that was)
Have you ever seen the 20th anniversary special, "The Five Doctors"? The Tom Baker gag was lifted straight from there. Baker refused to be in the special, so they used clips from an incomplete episode that never aired. That old clip they used was the one from "The Five Doctors" (when the Fourth Doctor is captured in the time vortex), so it's even funnier to see the same thing happening again here. *g*
All in all - the celebrations were top notch and imo made by fans for fans. I had a great week. :D
Yes, everyone really outdid themselves. As you say, the celebrations were top notch. You can tell that all the specials were made by fans for fans because they knew exactly what we wanted. :-D
