Video Corner: Les Mis, Slough, Weddings & More

Do you hear the people sing? You will never see Les Miserables the same way again- and more...
We're back from our Star Wars Special Edition (which thankfully remains unedited by George Lucas!) of Video Corner for our latest weekly edition of this regular feature. This time around, a variety of hit entertainment franchises go under the radar, either for hilarity or impact, including Les Miserables, The Office, X-Men, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones.

Here, then, is our latest round-up of the most significant and comedic videos available right now on YouTube. Be prepared, because you may never see Les Miserables quite the same way ever again after this!:
LES MISERABLES: DREAM & SHOUT- Teddie Films have brought us a fair few great comedy YouTube videos in the past, but their latest rendition may just top the lot. Based on Will.i.am and Britney Spears' hit music video Scream & Shout, this Les Miserables-themed parody of one of 2012's most purchased songs cannot be missed under any circumstances!
DAVID BRENT: SLOUGH- For those of you readers who didn't already know this, Ricky Gervais has set up his own YouTube channel to bring us new mini-doses of The Office via the continued musical exploits of budding entrepeneur David Brent ever since his Comic Relief 2013 return. His latest track focuses on the town of Slough, a town which has acquired a certain reputation of late and which Brent wants to defend in his own characteristic manner...
TRASK INDUSTRIES TEASER- Did that post-credits sequence teasing X-Men: Days of Future Past in The Wolverine do enough for you, X-Men fans? If not, the 20th Century Fox production team have one more piece of 'viral' promotional material to share- here's a mock advertisement for Trask Industries, the company famed in X-lore for creating the destructive Sentinels, and who will play a major part in next year's time travelling semi-sequel.
DOCTOR WHO: EXCELLENT!- While this particular video has been circulating the web for a few years, only now has it come to this writer's attention. Nevertheless, this parody video mocking up a potential comedy spin-off to Doctor Who, titled Excellent!, is a bonafida must-see experience for any fans of the classic series and/or the Cybermen. Just remember, one simple word- "Excellent!"
GAME OF THRONES RED WEDDING REACTIONS- Where were you when the Starks fell? This fantastic compilation rounds up a variety of initial reactions from viewers across America to the deaths of Robb and Catelyn Stark in The Rains of Castamere, the groundbreaking penultimate instalment of Season Three of Game of Thrones which may well have changed the format of the entire show. Who knows what will become of the Stark legacy come Season Four? Either way, for now, check out this superb scream-fest...
