Awesome review! I thought I was the only person that felt that way about Jake’s character. THANK YOU! I also have the book and I need to read it. This show is awesome. S2 was sooooo good! Yours is the first review I’ve seen on it.

I can't even begin to count how many so-called "A-list" actors I would walk by just to get to her in a crowded room. She just seems to be such an all-around lovely and interesting person. Let's hope her career continues to gain momentum.

Also you may want to watch the specials and react to those as well otherwise you may miss out some lore and great sequences.

you have got to be the funniest reaction channel I've seen for Doctor Who in ages . although I'm not sure how much laughing you're going to do . the way the reboot works the earlier Seasons have Monster of the week however that changes in later seasons and it actually gives you an actual story thats more adultlike and darker. there's always been this internet debate going on is dw for kids . i would say no . its not . personally I would say this show is 13 + teens and adults . there's a lot of politics in war that I would not let any Kid watch

who is the Shireen. 14 seasons in and I still couldn't tell you😂😂

I am watching your reactions, but some memes do not add anything to them

The best part of the season is yet to come. Super excited for the next episode. Harriet Jones is great, and yeah Doctor Who really can go to emotional scenes with great ease.

Watch for recycled actors in the Whoverse.

1:40 I think the writers have plausible cause to say that it would work this way in this case because there's an active state of emergency what with the ongoing alien invasion and the Doctor did try to attack the Prime Minister lol

I'm sure that hissing sound at 2:41 was used for the Xenomorph in Alien 3.

You probably have seen Penelope Wilton (who played Harriet Jones) before, she's been in many productions, although she's probably best known as Shaun's mom in Shaun of the Dead. I also loved her character. Although I'm fine with the editing (I think the added clips are funny), please ask your editor to turn down the sound of the static for the test pattern used to transition back to the show). The next episode is my favourite modern Doctor Who episode period and really shows the extent of Christopher Eccleston's acting.

Queen Harriet

“Don’t go sweetheart, please don’t go” 😭😭

It's so cool seeing Simon Callow play Charles Dickens as he is quite an expert on the author and knows A Christmas Carol off by heart. What's also cool is he's even done many shows telling the story to the audience much like in this episode.

The edits in your reactions are wild. I feel like I miss a lot.

So awesome to watch your journey into Doctor Who.

“Who does this woman think she is?” Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North, of course! Haven’t you been paying attention?!?😀😉

1:54 I think this part is so funny because Russell T Davies (the showrunner from 2005-10) had gay people mad at him for this line and also homophobic people mad at him for having openly gay characters showing affection in the show, he was just pissing everybody off 💀

Please dont watch the next time part

The actor playing the General (who you asked about near the beginning) is Rupert Vansittart. He's a British character actor who has' been in many productions; the biggest being in Game of Thrones playing Lord John Royce. He was also in Braveheart, Remains of the Day, Bridgerton, Andor and many more. I love Penelope Wilton's character, Harriet Jones and how she's always flashing her ID and identifying herself as "MP Flydale North" (a fictional constituency). A 'backbencher' is a member of Parliament who isn't in cabinet and doesn't rank very highly within their party. They literally sit on the back benches in Parliament. The cabinet ministers (or shadow cabinet) sit close to the prime minister (or the leader of the opposition) so they can answer questions posed by the opposition during Question Period. No one usually directs questions to backbenchers & they aren't usually picked to ask or answer questions. (When a party "caucuses- - meet privately they usually plan out who will ask questions/answer questions.) We use the same term "backbencher" here in Canada for our less important MPs. However, our MPs actually have desks, in the UK, they literally sit on benches without desks in a fairly crowded room.)

Oh my goodness the editing style for this episode is on point! High hopes for the rest of them.

They are having a party at Jackie's at the beginning of the episode. But it's not due to the aliens, it's to celebrate Rose coming back home.

Harriet is Penelope Wilton ----Sean of the Dead's mum!

Actress is playing Harriet has been in a about 1 million different things

I've just watched your first 3 reactions, please stop watching the next week spoilers, it helps, that's all I'm saying, I have subscribed to follow you on you Dr Who journey, it's gonna be a fantastic journey.

The theatre used is the New Theatre in Cardiff.... the exterior and street scenes were filmed in Swansea. And yes the English take the piss out of Welsh, and Russell being Welsh tends to show that - A Navvy was someone who built the navigaitons - in other words canals and later the railways - so they were lower class workers. I lived in Cardiff when this was being filmed. My claim to fame was that I worked at a recycling charity and contributed some of the computers used as props for the series.

It looked like someone was floating in midgravity into the acid blood

4:39 A navvy is generally a construction or road worker, in this time period it would probably be associated with railroad workers and canal excavators, the word comes from a shortening of "navigator"

A "navvy" was a labourer on construction projects like roads, railways, and canals. It's still used today in British slang, but is much less commonly used than in the past. It's taken me three attempts to post this: UA-cam keeps posting it to someone else's channel even though it's your video I'm watching!

I am enjoying your reactions, my suggestion would be to be a season ahead to avoid inevitable spoilers in the comments :)

My comment goes here

Part of this journey that makes me enjoy it is (personal info) you remind my 1st ever bf decades ago. Love you so much more

Excited that you continue with the watch! Oh this next episode is gonna be great ;D

"What's so bad about Cardiff" Wales, Scotland and Ireland don't tend to like England that much. Think of it like siblings, you hate their guts but if anyone tried to harm them you'd go to war over them.

Glad you enjoyed the episode. Personally, when this was first transmitted, I felt it was the best story of the three that had aired at that point. The writer, Mark Gatiss, is an acclaimed writer and actor and grew up in the 70’s and Doctor Who was his favourite show. After the show was cancelled in 1989 Gatiss was one of a number of fans who wrote original Doctor Who stories as novels which got published. It was a way of keeping Doctor Who alive, during ‘the wilderness years’ (as it became known between 1990 and 2004), because no one knew if the BBC were ever going to bring the series back! When Doctor Who was revived in 2004, show runner Russell T. Davies asked Gatiss and a few other Wilderness book writers if they’d like to write for the new series, and all of them said yes! Gatiss has written a number of NuWho stories for Doctors 9, 10, 11 and 12, since the show came back in 2005. Some, like this one, are very good, others less so! Gatiss has also acted in two NuWho stories (no spoilers but I’m sure your subscribers will let you know when he’s about to appear!) Fun fact: Simon Callow, the actor who played Dickens in this story, shot to fame in the Hugh Grant film, Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He was one of two in a gay relationship in the film and was wonderful in the part. He also happens to be an authority on the life of Charles Dickens, having written a biography about the great man, back in 2012 (2012 was the bicentenary of Dickens birth), so if anyone was best suited to play Dickens, then it was Simon Callow!

Such a fun and creepy episode !

Charles dickins actual great great great (and a few more greats!) Grandson is in the 3rd season of Dr who... he is a super creepy bad guy... he was also in the first season of game of thrones....

I'm so glad you're enjoying the show!! You are definitely correct, this show has a way of trapping your heart and breaking it whenever it can. Just a heads up, those "next times" are a bit spoilery so feel free to skip them if you don't want to know too much about the coming episode. But if you are going to watch, I'd love to watch your reaction to them so keep that in okay?? haha

Another great episode....

Also the "next time" at the end of episodes can contain spoilers, so i would personally skip em
