The Timelords was the name used by UK sampling outfit The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu for their 1988 novelty pop single Doctorin' the Tardis, a No.1 hit in the UK. The song is a mix of Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll (Part 1), Sweet's Blockbuster and the Doctor Who theme with sparse vocals inspired by Doctor Who and Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney character. Doctorin' the Tardis reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 12 June, and also charted highly in Australia and New Zealand.

According to group members Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, the Timelords came about after their purchase of an American Ford Galaxie police car (which had allegedly been used in the film Superman IV filmed in the UK). Cauty and Drummond claimed the car then spoke to them, giving its name as Ford Timelord and advising the duo to adopt the name for themselves. A photograph of the vehicle appeared on the sleeve of the Doctorin' the Tardis single (the car was also credited for the song itself) and was prominently featured in a number of the group's music videos (the car appears in Doctorin' the Tardis, filmed at the now defunct R.A.F base at Yatesbury, Wiltshire). A more prosaic explanation for the name comes from the Time Lords, an alien race from the planet Gallifrey in Doctor Who. James Cauty, Jimmy or Jimi, also known as Rockman Rock, was born in Devon, England in 1956 and not much is known about him until, as a 17-year old artist, he painted a popular Lord of the Rings poster (and later, a counterpart based on The Hobbit) for Athena. ...
