If you're working on a show for kids, "Doctor Who did it" seems like a good way to defend your writing choices against Executive Meddling (assuming Doctor Who actually has done whatever you're trying to defend). If it's good enough for a beloved series that's been around for 60 years, it's good enough for your shoestring-budget little project.
Ellie... I wanna release all my Time Lord essence deep within your loom. Oh Ellie I wanna open your fob watch wide and bask in all that brilliant glory ;)... Believe it or not a laser is considered less violent than a bullet. A disintegration the same. It is how explicit the death is, not the fact that someone dies.
"The End of Time, Part 1" -- When the 10th Doctor meets up with the Ood at the beginning of the episode, he essentially mentions Queen Elizabeth I's nickname not being applicable anymore thanks to him.
Space & Time: Doctor: "we'd end up with two Amy Ponds, and then what would you do?" Rory looks at both Amy's, raises his finger in a "well, I have some ideas" way, and gets slapped by prime Amy. (And earlier in the minisode there was the whole thing about the short skirt and the glass floor...)
I’m fairly certain the “Mrs. Robinson” joke was more about the age difference between Matt Smith and Alex Kingston than about their characters’ respective ages. Alex is 19 years older than Matt.
The one for me was in a good man goes to war where Vasta says to Jenny I don’t know why you put up with me. Then she whips out her tongue to take out a guard and Jenny just gives her a look. I rewatched the episode last year and I was just pointing at the screen like “oh ohhhh!!!” 😂
You, actually, missed the second reference to The Graduate (and Mrs. Robinson) in season 6!! It's called back to again later in the season, during the episode "Let's Kill Hitler". After she regenerates, River likewise says to the Doctor "Hello, Benjamin...". If you didn't know, Benjamin Braddock is the name of Dustin Hoffman's character in The Graduate that Mrs. Robinson is "trying to seduce". When River makes that reference, they even do a recreation of the iconic shot of Benjamin framed by Mrs. Robinson's leg! Though, the Doctor apparently was too distracted to get River's reference at that exact moment, 'cause he merely responds by whispering to Amy/Rory "Who's Benjamin...?" 🤣 (So, from River's point of view, she actually did compare herself to Mrs. Robinson before the Doctor did!!)
@@DrWhoFanJ yes, technically they are in series 6. But everybody understand it from the context and nobody thought about Patrick Troughton last season. I suggest let's be cultured individuals and not scold people about whole season/series difference if necessary context is already there.
@ Or let’s not refer to things by the wrong names even when sufficient context is provided to correct it because otherwise people won’t learn the distinction and will use the wrong terminology when there isn’t such context and we get stuck with unnecessarily-confusing sentences for no reason. An error is still an error, even when there is enough information elsewhere to correct it.
The Master "Beard" comment actually went over my head as a result of being "too adult to get it!" - I'd not encountered that relatively modern usage of the word until several years later! Suddenly it made a lot more more sense!
The hint about the Doctor and the Master being gay? Yeah, they've been like that since Pertwee and Delgado.There's a sword fight at one point that is clearly a euphemism for sex. So the beard thing is apt.
I was today years old (that’s 37) when I realised the dancing thing was not about dancing. However the Master’s beard joke made me snort with laughter at the time and again tonight.
I didn't know that as an expression until today, though I did kind of get a reference and I thought it was referring to her hair down there... More than one way to wear a beard.
Considering the twelfth doctor alludes that he and the master were once a couple he would know if Lucy Saxon was his "beard". Then again he also says "We're the most civilized civilization in the universe. We're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes."
@@LadyKattrina84 then again, aside from gender and sex, sexuality seems to also be able change with regenerations (some Doctors such as Ten for example feel Ace for example). As for the "most civilised": Gallifreyans might not need a 'beard' in their own society, but he was trying to blend in amongst us humans and in our society Saxon probably had less struggles getting to his position appearing as a cis-het guy.
“Don’t worry, I’m quite the screamer. Now there’s a spoiler for you”. I didn’t miss it but it did make me snort in a combination of laughter and shock.
Peter Capaldi pulling the spoon out in Robot of Sherwood was actually a reference to Alan Rickman's portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves where he remarks that he wants to cut out Robins heart with a spoon because its dull to Guy of Gisborn.
Ive enjoyed this episode emensly 💚 Great writing and Ellies’ reality-check asides are perfect for Who and is a brilliant way to connect with the audience. To be clear, it's shows vulnerability and acknowledges that "we ain't perfect". A beautiful truth that should be taught/learned by everyone x
I sadly did not recognize Diana Ring. She was an amazing actress. I grew up watching reruns of The Avengers. Being from the US, we only ever got reruns often decades later, including Tom Baker episodes. We did get McCoy episodes occasionally on one channel.
4:14 I also just noticed cuz after rewatching it just now that professor peach says " why didn't they ask- heavens!" I never noticed that one before! Obviously heavens is supposed to be Evans but was clearly a reference.😂
There was exactly one item in this video that came out when I was a kid. Just post a video calling me old, next time. 😅 Just kidding, fun video, and some of these I didn't get originally, despite being a nominal adult.
No one is mentioning Love & Monsters…. And the bit of a “love life” they still have after her face becomes a tile…? And given that was an episode that was created from a child’s monster drawn in real life… extra cheeky 😂😂😂
In the day of the doctor queen Elizabeth says to the tenth doctor “it almost took my head off, Usally im the one the one who does that” then she giggles. Idk if that actually means what I think it does but when I heard that i clipped it and sent it to my friends saying “I thought doctor who was family friendly!😭”
Except.... the vase of yellow irises in the center of the table are actually white Easter lilies. Unless you picked the wrong scene to pair with the reference.
I guess I'm old. I got a lot of those right away. 😎But to go along with point #3 and the sonic screwdriver going from horizontal to vertical, they also did this in the minisode "Pond Life". The Doctor is saying how he met Mata Hari in a Paris Hotel room, and we see him roasting a snack in the fireplace. He turns around to look at her and the stick goes from horizontal to vertical. Much less subtle there.
I was expecting "ginger beer" to get a mention in Agatha Christie part. When the Doctor gets poisoned he rushes to the kitchen yelling "ginger beer" to a young man who is visibly taken aback. Gingerbeer is a Cockney rhyming slang for "queer", and it was heavily implied that said young man was going out with Lord and Lady's son. A detail which even adults can miss, and kids certainly wouldn't understand.
I first saw Doctor Who as a high school teen in the '70s on PBS.... Yep, I'm old... And, I never thought of it as a "kids/family" show, just British Sci-Fi...
If Moffatt’s involved there’s at least one innuendo “Give a shout if you find trouble” “You’ll find I’m quite the screamer. There’s a spoiler for you!”
A massive percentage of these had gone right over my head.... And I'm 51 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣 I did notice the Eleventh Doctors sonic with Jenny. I also spotted him with River at the Lets Kill Hitler episode. River pushes right into him at the desk and he then acts all flustered and covering a certain area..... 🍆😮 Quite naughty our Eleven but in a way that is kid friendly. I think the Jenny kiss was just because he'd been trapped for so long and Jenny rescued him, he was exuberant. It's just aged badly, as consent, which was Always bloody important but overlooked, has changed perceptions thank fk. I've never heard of the term beard to mean that before and I'm LGBT+!! The Ninth Doctor is perceived as Asexual and Aromantic, and confirmed as that in his recent Big Finish audio with River. Good video guys ❤
Those young kids and some adults may not have gotten the reference but I did it was very obvious and so did my daughter what the Mrs Robinson reference was about.
9:15 I didn't get it in the scene that you mentioned, but I did recently get the similar joke (and cracked up at it) that was made in Day of the Doctor. "Compensating?"
I wasn't a kid for any of this (except the Sunmakers, but I didn't get to see that until I was an adult). The thing I find most memorable about the Beard gag is that I made that joke months before the Doctor did. On one of the message boards (can't remember if it was Outpost Gallifrey then or Gallifrey Base), people were talking about whether the Simm Master would have a beard. When The Sound of Drums finally aired, and it was revealed the Master had a wife, I posted "I guess the Simm Master does have a Beard". So, when the Doctor himself made the same joke, I nearly doubled over with laughter.
I wasn't born yet during Sunmakers, but I was during the Romana era and grew up watching Peter Davison, Collin Baker, and McCoy as they aired. I got all of the New Who ones except for the UK political stuff and UK TV stuff given that I do not live in the UK.
10. This was hilarious. But the Malcolm Tucker references that got slipped in? Comedy diamond!! On the other hand, this would only be caught by Capaldi fans who knew about that previous role. 9. The "dancing" references and stuff?? Nah, man...kids ain't stupid, that's some pretty thinly veiled stuff. 8. The Agatha Christie stuff would've only been relevant to kids or teens if they were reading something by her in English or Literature class. Otherwise, I don't think anyone would've cared, not even adults. 7. This is something only UK based fans would've really paid attention to...if they even cared. 6. AYO HOL' UP!! What episode was this again!? I gotta look that one up!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5. Inner Retinue??? They really had a jab at the IRS and stuff??? 🤣🤣🤣 4. I don't think anyone other than horror fans would've cared; but yeeeaaah, that Dream Crab/Facehugger thing is a blatant copy...but what kid would've known that unless they were an Alien fan? 3. Nah. No way kids wouldn't have caught that about the Sonic Boner. That was TOO obvious. 2. Dafuq!? That's wild...how 10 gonna even go in on the Master like that!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1. Ohhh, this was absolutely HILARIOUS about "The Big Bang". 😏😏😏
9. As a fellow kid when this first came out, I also didn't get it until many rewatches later. I actually remember wondering at the time "why is everyone so concerned with whether the doctor can dance"
I remember when my kids watched The Doctor Falls, they didn't understand the joke between Missy and the Master's attraction for each other. I would have told them the truth but instead, I just told them that the Master was looking down at his untied shoelaces. 😄
This makes me wish Doctor Who was on the air when I was a kid. I was too young for the original series to surprise me and too old to not get the bawdy jokes of the relaunch!
Same. As I said in a comment above, I got all of them except the UK political/cultural ones when they aired. There are times when I wish each of these Who Culture episodes had a NuWho and a Classic Who version. I'd love to see this done for the Doctor Who I watched as a kid.
RE: Last Christmas/Alien...Wasn't "Alien" in and of itself inspired by a Tom Baker serial? I want to say Ark In Space, but I'm not sure. References within references.
@y_fam_goeglyd Joe DiMagio was a baseball player. My 2nd favorite Yankees of all time behind his successor IN centerfield Mickey Mantle. Joe was a character. After he played he married Marylne Monroe. When she died in 1962 he sent flowers to her grave every week for the next 27 years.
You know, for a family friendly show, Doctor Who certainly has a lot of characters dying horrifically.
If you're working on a show for kids, "Doctor Who did it" seems like a good way to defend your writing choices against Executive Meddling (assuming Doctor Who actually has done whatever you're trying to defend).

Believe it or not a laser is considered less violent than a bullet. A disintegration the same. It is how explicit the death is, not the fact that someone dies.
"The End of Time, Part 1" -- When the 10th Doctor meets up with the Ood at the beginning of the episode, he essentially mentions Queen Elizabeth I's nickname not being applicable anymore thanks to him.
Rewatching the first RTD era I forgot how thirsty Jackie Tyler was.
Poor Elton's shirt.
I hated her character ! So was so annoying in the show
That moment where she tells Alt. Pete "there was never anyone else", and Mickey is just like...
"I in my nightgown"
"Yes, you are."
"There's a strange man in my bedroom."
"Yes, there is."
"...Where anything could happen..."
"...No."
My theory is that Mackey got pay back in rose cheating by sleeping with her mom when u know

Doctor: "we'd end up with two Amy Ponds, and then what would you do?"
Rory looks at both Amy's, raises his finger in a "well, I have some ideas" way, and gets slapped by prime Amy.

"Pond flirting with Pond. True love at last."
@@damouze "Sorry Rory"
_"Absolutely_ no problem at all."
I’m fairly certain the “Mrs. Robinson” joke was more about the age difference between Matt Smith and Alex Kingston than about their characters’ respective ages. Alex is 19 years older than Matt.
"You, me, and handcuffs, must it always end like this?"
Right, river song was just one walking innuendo, the screamer joke, the flirtatious voice, the fact that she gets attracted to anything and anyone
It always amazed me that she never hooked up with Jack Harkness.
Also, in the 50th Anniversary special "compensating for something?" And the whole Space and Time minisode.
i was waiting for this one to be number one. and then i almost thought it was on the list when she out something similar on with 12ths sonic
River song 'Im quite the screamer' 😂😂
Now ***THAT'S*** a spoiler!!
😂
Or that between River and Rory "...-Unless there´s two of them (the Doctor) -Well, that´s a whole different birthday..."

I caught both references, but never put them together until now. Well done you.
Ms Robinson could also refer to the aggressive flirting on a candid target, not just age
The Master "Beard" comment actually went over my head as a result of being "too adult to get it!" - I'd not encountered that relatively modern usage of the word until several years later! Suddenly it made a lot more more sense!
I caught most of those, but the middle finger one I had totally missed.
The hint about the Doctor and the Master being gay? Yeah, they've been like that since Pertwee and Delgado.There's a sword fight at one point that is clearly a euphemism for sex. So the beard thing is apt.
I didn't get the "Doctor Dances" metaphor, and I watched it as an adult, on line, years after it aired.
it went over my head too.
I was today years old (that’s 37) when I realised the dancing thing was not about dancing. However the Master’s beard joke made me snort with laughter at the time and again tonight.

Peter Capaldi was also in a Torchwood episode.
His kids wanted a pony.
in a whole season , Children Of Earth
i'm surprised you brought up dark water and didn't mention the swimming pool gag. it took me years to realise that it was referring to sex
I mean there's a few but the one I think of is the flash light scene between the doc and rory

Love life in Love and Monsters
