Wilf's four knocks come a close second to, "I don't want to go," as the most heart-wrenching moment in NuWho. Wilf was arguably the most beloved non-companion character in the show, and the least likely to want harm to come to him. Even thinking about it now makes me tear up.

I actually put it above the I don't want to go moment because it comes out of nowhere but the impact is immediate, even as a viewer. Like.. it has to be one of the best twists I've ever seen in a show or movie just because it comes completely out of nowhere but it isn't random gibberish being pulled out, it completely follows all the foreshadowing that was there and it fits perfectly and it makes sense but it was hidden behind everything else and it's just the best twist. But it's also a twist of the knife in the heart, even more than I don't want to go.
Isn't the Doctor's line: "Oh, it had to be you." ? He's as heartbroken as we all were. Especially as he and Wilf had the conversation about dying, sometime previously.

After 10's epic meltdown about he could have "done so much more!!!!" to then turn to Wilf, begging The Doctor *not* to save him, and simply reply "Oh Wilfred Mott, it would be my honor" is one of the most heartbreaking and emotional things in 10's entire run.

There's also more evidence that Jack is the Face of Boe. When River gets her vortex manipulator, Dorium, who often deals with the headless monks, said it was off the wrist of a handsome time agent. The headless monks decapitate you, while keeping the head alive (like with what happened to Dorium). The same could have happened to Jack, which is what caused him to be a literal face.
OMG ... That had totally escaped me ... That is a wow of a connection ... although, small quibble ... how did they keep him from pulling himself back together as he did in Torchwood when he got blown up and all they had was like part of his arm and he "regenerated" from that ... ? Great, now I have another paradox ... while his head becomes Boe, his body with a reconstructed head continues onward ... Still, that is a brilliant connection.
@@omegatired Only thing I can think of, is that the Headless monks literally sever the head from the body, where the life remains in the head and the body becomes discarded.

I've always thought that *this pretty time agent* was Jack himself, and this time vortex manipulator is the same as the doctor aims at blocking each time.

Absolutely agree with your number 1. The Doctor looks up relieved to have survived, and I'm relieved too. Then we both hear it: 4 knocks. And even as the Doctor's face falls, so does mine. "Oh. My. God..... It's Wilfred. The whole time, Wilfred and his 4 knocks were waiting for the Doctor." Then the Doctor says the same thing. And when I rewatch it, my gut tenses when Wilf goes into the booth...and it doesn't un-tense until I start crying. Nobody but nobody writes tearjerkers as well as RTD. Can't wait to see what is up his sleeve next. River is my girl. I wanna be River when I grow up. (I'm 54, but maybe one day...) My only disappointment is that I knew that there was a connection the moment Amy Pond was introduced. Doesn't detract from how much I love River though.

When the Master first came back it wasn't a moment of 'oh heck it's the master!' for me. i was a teen who knew nothing of the original series and didn't even know the master was a character beforehand. So it was more of a 'oh my god! there's another time lord?!?' still an amazing moment for me at the time. I was pretty good at avoiding spoilers back in the day and when Missy revealed herself as the newest regeneration of the master i lost it! Biggest surprise ever for me, my partner won't let me live it down for how over the top i reacted lol. For me she was the best and most surprising master reappearance.
@@VeracityLH Didn't see it coming, but knew right away who it was as she did that dance around the garden that was so reminiscent of Simm's behaviour style, and the name always seemed to be a dead giveaway to me.
Michelle Gomez's Missy was amazing. John Simm was my favorite Master...until the Mistress came along. Now I want her back, though it's hard to imagine her with anyone but Capaldi. A couple of years before Doctor Who, Gomez did a series called Merry Widows with Miriam Margolyes as her mum. They are HYSTERICAL together. She also did a short series called Psychobitches in which she played historical women seeing a psychiatrist. Her Mary Queen of Scots had a brogue so thick she needed an interpreter--pretty funny since the famous queen grew up speaking French! You can find both shows on UA-cam and they are worth a watch. Cheers.
@@peterward2275 And now we have Sacha Dhawan's insane dance in the last of Jodie's episodes. One episode was called "The Doctor Dances", but the Master dances, too, and is just as sexy as Eccleston.
The Wilf scene still got me wailing like a baby such a great man with such pure intentions. 10th doctor was above all one of my favourites for that reason.
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please read at least three books of the Bible. The first book of each testament and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness. It is important.
Strangely enough it was the moment when River whispered his name in his ear.......The Doctor was never as shaken as he was in that moment and David Tennant conveyed the importance of her in that moment that it still gives me the shivers.
Glad you didn't have a Missy entry (although she's awesome) - I was 100% sure she was a female regeneration of the Master, as soon as her name was mentioned.
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please read at least three books of the Bible. The first book of each testament and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness. It is important.
I picked Missy as The Master as she was so like John Simm's master in female form. Loved the reveal with the big kiss and grabbing the Doctor's hand to her chest to feel the heartbeats
Nice video, Here is my response to each point: 1. The 11th Doctor getting killed and cremated at the start of the new season was traumatic. 2. The War Doctor had me screaming in shock. I LITERALLY FELL OFF THE COUCH AS I SCREAMED MOFFAT!!! 3. The Sphere was hilarious when the Cybermen and Dalek got into an argument. 4. The Amy Pond duplicate was a chilling plot twist. 5. The Face of Boe connection was a "WOOOOOW" moment!! 6. The Souflee girl Dalek reveal was very sad. Oswin was awesome. 7. The Bad Wolf connection to Rose was wild . 8. The Professor Yana reveal was exciting. I totally didn't see that coming 9. Everything about River Song was amazing. Lots of Spoilers. 10. The 4 times knock hit me like a ton of bricks. It was heartbreaking as Wilfred ended up being the reason why 10 died.
Is anyone else gonna mention the reveal that the master was the weird guy with Bill the whole time snd to torture the doctor he had her made into one of the first Mondassian cyber men?? That was heartbreaking.
Missy being the master has to be one of my favourite plot twists in the NewWho if I’ll be honest never seen it coming 😱 although if she was The Rani the plot twist would’ve been slightly better 👌🏻
When Rory was the Centurion and uttered the line, "A message from me and a message from the doctor. Where is my wife?.... Would you like me to repeat the question." This was very cleverly done and I knew from then on that their daughter was River Song.
@@amyzm7677 They're both asking (Rory about Amy, and the Doctor about River) about their wife. But it makes it sound like they both only care about Amy before its is revealed later.
9:37 - 9:42 and the second half of Season 2. Look at the front page of the newspaper that Victor Kennedy was holding in the episode *Love and Monsters* Harold Saxon's name was mentioned and the Doctor was technically responsible for The Master being PM, twice. 1. Overthrowing Harriet Jones in *The Christmas Invasion* 2. Rigging the TARDIS to have the Master locked down on Earth (Utopia). Allowing the Master time to plan his master plan (pardon the pun) while he and Rose were trying to stop both the Cybermen and Daleks.
Love how some of the twists reveal parts from previous episodes that you don’t realize are relevant and then you rewatch and are in awe. One of my favorites and probably #11 or #12 is the Doctor Donna season. When the cat lady( sorry I don’t remember every character/species) at the spa greets her as “Doctor Donna”.
They really need to make a episode showing how Clara became a Dalek, as well as one for Jack becoming the Face of Bode, and the fate of the Doctor's daughter.
@@toejah The actress played the Doctor's daughter, is the daughter of someone who played the Doctor, got married to a different person who played the Doctor, and then had his daughter. And as a child, she was friends with two other people who were also daughters of people who played the Doctor.
The twist that river was in the space suit was one that I had speculated heavy with based on her own reaction after she unloaded her revolver missed and the space suit escaped and she bitterly said "of course not" however it seems as though even she had forgotten when they re-encounter the astronaut back in 1969 so I dropped the theory despite other subtle clues in the first half of the episode even after she's already forgotten. The twist was even more shocking for me having already dismissed the theory and it came true but damn did I love it. What I didn't like was the way that the episode that reveal came in, (or rather the episode preceding it the wedding of the river having to doctor who the story up to eleven with the whole time is broken subplot when all of time is happening at once. Frankly I don't like how that looks on paper it's worse than Aragorn being crowned king only to slap Elront in the face pulling out a boom box radio from the 1980 and playing I can walk on water I can fly as he gets the whole crowd doing the chicken dance and then says Peter Jackson put me up to this as he gets in a bmw and guns it straight off the same cliff that Denethor II flew off of during the battle for Minas Tirith. Needless to say shit like that is too stupid to think up but the way that the wedding of the river was like that ending all the while telling the story of the correct ending. Basically it's a noncohesive story about the eleventh doctor telling a cohesive story to his friend Winston Churchill. And it would have been better for the writers of the episode to tell that cohesive story to the audience instead we got all of space and time happening in one place all at once.

A problem with a lot of these reveals is that Stephen was a big fan of the mystery but not the payoff. He doesn't got so far a J.J. to say that there should never be a payoff but Stephen likes to assume that once we know the truth we don't need to worry about it anymore. Hey, the Daleks can turn dead people into masks and turn live people into living Daleks? That's amazing! maybe do something with that. There are a countless number of Claras throughout the timeline? Neat. Are you going to show some of them every again? No? Then why bother saying it at all?! But he did give us The Silence and they're my favorite baddie so that's nice.
David Tennant regenerating at the end of the second last episode of series 4 was jaw dropping as we all knew tennant was leaving the role at that point….that cliff hanger actually made BBC new when the episode aired! Bill Potts being converted and Rose appearing at the end of the first episode of series 4 should also get a mention!

The War Doctor was the reveal that stopped me in my tracks. I just sat there staring at the screen with my mouth open. I had to rewind and watch it again a few times to fully digest what had just happened.
I believe IDW comics do a story about that, although we see several other alternate timeline decisions too, @Sam Loves Horror Movies , in the same story.

I’m showing Doctor Who to my friend for the first time and I’m so excited to see her reactions to the Face of Boe, River Song and especially YANA. I still remember how wild that last one was to watch live. Her reaction to the Bad Wolf was already incredible, it’s so great to get to see the show for the first time through someone else’s eyes!
Each one you counted down was a great reminder of those fantastic story lines. I also adored River Song’s character but must admit that Wilfred’s 4 knocks was the most unexpected and shocking scene. I remember just sitting with my hand over my mouth thinking ‘Nooo’! His character was adorable and I loved the relationship he and the Doctor had. When Wilfred saluted the Doctor my tears poured, almost as much as when Rose was pulled into a parallel universe 😢 Another huge shocker was the revelation of the identity of the Face of Boe! Oh how I miss those storylines.
I know Jack said he was nicknamed the Face of Boe. I always thought that it was just That. A nickname because he had lived for some time. Always saw Boe as an Olmec head. And the Olmec were Actually aliens who had been petrified due to the atmosphere on Earth at the time, where they originated, or due to the ailments being passed around due to all the traveling by others. (granted it doesn't explain how Boe knew the Doctor and called him old Friend.)
@@parthmudgal9270 a live action kids game show from the 1990’s called Legends of the hidden temple. They remade it recently for a streaming service, but it was canceled after one season. The 1990’s version is better I am sure.
The Face Of Bo. Right up there. I had an inkling given that Jack was immortal and a time traveller. FYI, the Valeyard (Who 6: The Trial Of A Timelord) identified himself as the amalgamation of all the Doctor's evils. Kinda hints at a War Doctor.

Think you missed the Amy living in a universe of her own thoughts (all of season 5) was great too. From matts very first episode you get a sense that he's a super genius and instantly notices something is wrong when he asks what's that? How do you know its a duck pond if there aren't any ducks. Then when the universe is reset the pond has ducks.... I mean the ducks aren't the twist but that whole plot line

@@jamesmayle3787 I've read all of the bible... and the quran and many other religious texts. I've also studied old gods, old mythologies.. many years 2000+ years before Jesus I might add. Do you know what osiris, horus, Buddha, krishna, mithra, hercules, thammuz and I could go on, have in common with Jesus? No? They were all crucified, died buried and came back to life 3 days later! Hmm odd that that happened 1000's of years before Jesus.. oh because his story is just a rehash of millenia before. It comes from the sun BTW. On the 21st of Dec the sun hits the horizon appears to stay until it starts rising 3 days later. Another thing all them names have in common with Jesus.. they are all made up.
“The Impossible Astronaut” was the first episode I properly watched live so when 11 was shot and pronounced dead my initial thoughts were “WTF????????!?!?!??!?!” 😳😅😂 Also with it being my first season and Matt Smith being my first doctor, both are my favourites 😁
What I find intresting was this clip didn't even show the cliff hanger on how he got out of it his death when she shot him or she didn't and caused a paradox (spoilers maybe?)
I’d add in the reveal of the Fugitive Doctor. Sure the ending of the arc was an absolute mess but the instance and reveal was such a big surprise for me

The "Amy Pond is a Ganger" twist was extra fun if you were familiar with the semi-canon stuff from some of the books where it was revealed that a former companion whose biology was similar to that of a Ganger was turned into a TARDIS (and used during one version of the Time War/the Second Great War in Heaven for an icky breeding program to create more sentient TARDISes.). Apparently, being any kind of life form with pluripotent cells, like an embryo or a creation of the Remembrance Tanks, leads to hinky shit on a TARDiS.
As much as I agree with that topn I"m confused one of the biggest reveal isn't here : The Doctor isn't a Timelord. Which made a lot of sense because Ten refused to change after his full regeneration. Then we learn the existence of the War Doctor which means Eleven is supposed to be his last incarnation. This is why he was about to die in The Time of the Doctor, because he actually was the thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor but his thirteenth Regeneration was triggered by Galifrey, giving birth to Twelve. But the it didn't make sense when Twelve regenerated, until we learn that HUMONGOUS trurh. And I'm even more confused no one mention it in the comments o_O
Another plot twist is Clara. Just the whole character. We first get introduced to her as soufflé girl who is actually a Dalek and dies saving the doctor, then she just shows up a few episodes later, alive, human and living in the 1800s. But then at the end of the Christmas special she dies yet again. And then at the end of the episode it shows her once again alive.
I had a firm suspicion who the impossible astronaut was at the beginning of the opening episode and I was convinced she and the little girl at the end of the second episode were Rory and Amy's then unnamed daughter and by the time I first heard the phrase "the only water in the forest is the river" I simply knew River Song and (the then still unnamed) Melody Pond were the same person. Something that was confirmed for me when that phrase was repeated in A Good Man Goes To War. And even though the reveal was no longer really a surprise to me, it was still epic. It remains one of my favorite moments in the series.
Honestly I feel the "I don't want to go." line has deeper meaning. Mind you before Matt Smith was the eleventh doctor, we find out the 11th doctor would of been the last life he had before he died for real and I felt that the 10th doctor was scares then because that would of been his last time of dodging death before the new regen cycle was made.
I've just rewatched the Doctor Who Confidential for Christmas 2009 part 2 (Allons-Y), when David Tennant does four takes of 'I don't want to go' with different degrees of emotion. Brilliant stuff (and I agree with the director's and Tennant's choice of take, for what that's worth).
Saldy the daleks reveal in series 2 was ruined when doctor who got its awards, a dalek was rolled out and it was daleksec you could see the look on everyone's faces say "that's the wrong bloody dalek!" As an all black dalek hadn't yet been seen on new who. It was meant to have been a bronze one.
I love that the dr never forggets 4 knocks. It was mentioned in the episode 12 and clara travel to the end of time with dannys grandson and "nobody is left alive" i find it funny no matter how many time the dr has been to the edge of everything and at that point he still had to ask
@@splashpit who said clara didnt have a kid after she was revived with timelord tech and left to travel everywhere with ME in their tardis. She could have easily crossed dannys timeline and had sex
That face of beau reveal was a huge anti-climax. We the fans saw it coming a mile off but were hoping there would be a whole episode where they find out. It was just bad writing that they simply blurted it out.
What was everyone’s theories at the time about the 4 knocks before the acc reveal? Thinking back I think I thought it was another doctor who would knock
We're not going to mention David Tennant regenerating after seeing Rose again and the episode ending before he could change? Everyone freaked out because a new Doctor hadn't been revealed in real life - we had to wait seven days before he just blasted the energy into his cut off hand.
bernard’s acting (along with david’s) was what made me sob so much i couldn’t see. it was absolutely heart wrenching. wilfred is just so innocent and has a pure heart and you can see it in his face. i couldnt take it 🤧
The Dalek sphere. It was supposed to be an unextected twist, but in the "Next time" teaser on the previous episode, it showed someone getting zapped using the Dalek extermimation effect.
Wilf's four knocks come a close second to, "I don't want to go," as the most heart-wrenching moment in NuWho. Wilf was arguably the most beloved non-companion character in the show, and the least likely to want harm to come to him. Even thinking about it now makes me tear up.

And when I rewatch it, my gut tenses when Wilf goes into the booth...and it doesn't un-tense until I start crying. Nobody but nobody writes tearjerkers as well as RTD. Can't wait to see what is up his sleeve next.
River is my girl. I wanna be River when I grow up. (I'm 54, but maybe one day...) My only disappointment is that I knew that there was a connection the moment Amy Pond was introduced. Doesn't detract from how much I love River though.
When Jack said he used to be called the face of Bo I was starstruck
These are all great but what about Bill becoming a Cyberman? I cried my eyes put. That broke my heart.

When the Master first came back it wasn't a moment of 'oh heck it's the master!' for me. i was a teen who knew nothing of the original series and didn't even know the master was a character beforehand. So it was more of a 'oh my god! there's another time lord?!?' still an amazing moment for me at the time.
I was pretty good at avoiding spoilers back in the day and when Missy revealed herself as the newest regeneration of the master i lost it! Biggest surprise ever for me, my partner won't let me live it down for how over the top i reacted lol. For me she was the best and most surprising master reappearance.
LOVE Missy. No way to see that one coming, even after the reveal that the Corsair had switched genders.
@@VeracityLH Didn't see it coming, but knew right away who it was as she did that dance around the garden that was so reminiscent of Simm's behaviour style, and the name always seemed to be a dead giveaway to me.
Michelle Gomez's Missy was amazing. John Simm was my favorite Master...until the Mistress came along. Now I want her back, though it's hard to imagine her with anyone but Capaldi.
A couple of years before Doctor Who, Gomez did a series called Merry Widows with Miriam Margolyes as her mum. They are HYSTERICAL together. She also did a short series called Psychobitches in which she played historical women seeing a psychiatrist. Her Mary Queen of Scots had a brogue so thick she needed an interpreter--pretty funny since the famous queen grew up speaking French!
You can find both shows on UA-cam and they are worth a watch. Cheers.
@@peterward2275 And now we have Sacha Dhawan's insane dance in the last of Jodie's episodes. One episode was called "The Doctor Dances", but the Master dances, too, and is just as sexy as Eccleston.
The Wilf scene still got me wailing like a baby such a great man with such pure intentions. 10th doctor was above all one of my favourites for that reason.

As someone who watches a lot of tv and film, The face of boe will always be the biggest plot twist I never saw coming
yep same here
Strangely enough it was the moment when River whispered his name in his ear.......The Doctor was never as shaken as he was in that moment and David Tennant conveyed the importance of her in that moment that it still gives me the shivers.
Glad you didn't have a Missy entry (although she's awesome) - I was 100% sure she was a female regeneration of the Master, as soon as her name was mentioned.
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please read at least three books of the Bible. The first book of each testament and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness. It is important.
I picked Missy as The Master as she was so like John Simm's master in female form. Loved the reveal with the big kiss and grabbing the Doctor's hand to her chest to feel the heartbeats
Nice video, Here is my response to each point:
1. The 11th Doctor getting killed and cremated at the start of the new season was traumatic.
2. The War Doctor had me screaming in shock. I LITERALLY FELL OFF THE COUCH AS I SCREAMED MOFFAT!!!
3. The Sphere was hilarious when the Cybermen and Dalek got into an argument.
4. The Amy Pond duplicate was a chilling plot twist.
5. The Face of Boe connection was a "WOOOOOW" moment!!
6. The Souflee girl Dalek reveal was very sad. Oswin was awesome.
7. The Bad Wolf connection to Rose was wild .
8. The Professor Yana reveal was exciting. I totally didn't see that coming
9. Everything about River Song was amazing. Lots of Spoilers.
10. The 4 times knock hit me like a ton of bricks. It was heartbreaking as Wilfred ended up being the reason why 10 died.
3. "This is not war. This is pest control."
Is there a Doctor Who fan who didn't giggle at that? 😀
@@VeracityLH I still laugh at that line
Is anyone else gonna mention the reveal that the master was the weird guy with Bill the whole time snd to torture the doctor he had her made into one of the first Mondassian cyber men?? That was heartbreaking.
@@VeracityLH the next line's better, when the dalek manages to say "four" in a tone dripping with contempt.
Missy being the master has to be one of my favourite plot twists in the NewWho if I’ll be honest never seen it coming 😱 although if she was The Rani the plot twist would’ve been slightly better 👌🏻
When Rory was the Centurion and uttered the line, "A message from me and a message from the doctor. Where is my wife?.... Would you like me to repeat the question." This was very cleverly done and I knew from then on that their daughter was River Song.
I didn't get that until just now. Thanks.
@@JulieAiken You are welcome!
Wait, I don't get how this hints of the River connection.
the delivery of that line was so good too
@@amyzm7677 They're both asking (Rory about Amy, and the Doctor about River) about their wife. But it makes it sound like they both only care about Amy before its is revealed later.
9:37 - 9:42 and the second half of Season 2. Look at the front page of the newspaper that Victor Kennedy was holding in the episode *Love and Monsters* Harold Saxon's name was mentioned and the Doctor was technically responsible for The Master being PM, twice.
1. Overthrowing Harriet Jones in *The Christmas Invasion*
2. Rigging the TARDIS to have the Master locked down on Earth (Utopia). Allowing the Master time to plan his master plan (pardon the pun) while he and Rose were trying to stop both the Cybermen and Daleks.
Love how some of the twists reveal parts from previous episodes that you don’t realize are relevant and then you rewatch and are in awe.
One of my favorites and probably #11 or #12 is the Doctor Donna season. When the cat lady( sorry I don’t remember every character/species) at the spa greets her as “Doctor Donna”.
They really need to make a episode showing how Clara became a Dalek, as well as one for Jack becoming the Face of Bode, and the fate of the Doctor's daughter.
Clara becoming a dalek can be explained by her jumping in the doctor's timestream.
@@Mysticpaw that's a good possibility.
I'm still waiting for the doctors daughter to appear though I doubt it will ever happen. But with the new revelation I suppose it is a possibility.
@@nickt463 The best part of the doctors daughter is that she is the doctors daughter and mother of the doctors daughters lol
@@toejah The actress played the Doctor's daughter, is the daughter of someone who played the Doctor, got married to a different person who played the Doctor, and then had his daughter. And as a child, she was friends with two other people who were also daughters of people who played the Doctor.
Rest in peace, Bernard Cribbins. Brilliant actor as Donna's granddad Wilfred.
May his memory be a blessing. 😞❤️
I know him from CBeebies
The twist that river was in the space suit was one that I had speculated heavy with based on her own reaction after she unloaded her revolver missed and the space suit escaped and she bitterly said "of course not" however it seems as though even she had forgotten when they re-encounter the astronaut back in 1969 so I dropped the theory despite other subtle clues in the first half of the episode even after she's already forgotten. The twist was even more shocking for me having already dismissed the theory and it came true but damn did I love it. What I didn't like was the way that the episode that reveal came in, (or rather the episode preceding it the wedding of the river having to doctor who the story up to eleven with the whole time is broken subplot when all of time is happening at once. Frankly I don't like how that looks on paper it's worse than Aragorn being crowned king only to slap Elront in the face pulling out a boom box radio from the 1980 and playing I can walk on water I can fly as he gets the whole crowd doing the chicken dance and then says Peter Jackson put me up to this as he gets in a bmw and guns it straight off the same cliff that Denethor II flew off of during the battle for Minas Tirith. Needless to say shit like that is too stupid to think up but the way that the wedding of the river was like that ending all the while telling the story of the correct ending. Basically it's a noncohesive story about the eleventh doctor telling a cohesive story to his friend Winston Churchill. And it would have been better for the writers of the episode to tell that cohesive story to the audience instead we got all of space and time happening in one place all at once.

RIP Bernard Cribbens. Your portrayal of Wilfred Mott was beyond brilliant.
He was also in the 1966 film Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150 AD.
Heartbreaking news. May the earth be soft on him.
A problem with a lot of these reveals is that Stephen was a big fan of the mystery but not the payoff. He doesn't got so far a J.J. to say that there should never be a payoff but Stephen likes to assume that once we know the truth we don't need to worry about it anymore.
Hey, the Daleks can turn dead people into masks and turn live people into living Daleks? That's amazing! maybe do something with that. There are a countless number of Claras throughout the timeline? Neat. Are you going to show some of them every again? No? Then why bother saying it at all?!
But he did give us The Silence and they're my favorite baddie so that's nice.
Victorian Clara is best
What did he give us again… I forgot
@@mikeostroff6297 OMG, I had to go back and read what he gave us and it still took me a second to get it! LOL
I feel like I used to remember the joke. But I can't anymore.@@JulieAiken
The twist at the end of utopia is still my favorite. I wish I could relive watching it for the first time
yeah that was fantastic back in 2007, I was in total shock
David Tennant regenerating at the end of the second last episode of series 4 was jaw dropping as we all knew tennant was leaving the role at that point….that cliff hanger actually made BBC new when the episode aired! Bill Potts being converted and Rose appearing at the end of the first episode of series 4 should also get a mention!
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please read at least three books of the Bible. The first book of each testament and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness. It is important.
The War Doctor was the reveal that stopped me in my tracks. I just sat there staring at the screen with my mouth open. I had to rewind and watch it again a few times to fully digest what had just happened.
I'd love to either a Big Finish audio or a novel that explores "What if The Tenth Doctor didn't save Wilf?" Could be an interesting one-off.
I believe IDW comics do a story about that, although we see several other alternate timeline decisions too, @Sam Loves Horror Movies , in the same story.
Four Doctors comic explores that, not entirely focused on it but it does come up
Another Excellent Top Ten, Millie and James were awesome in the writing and edit, and The Elegant Elocutionist Ellie is a Tour de force here, especially when she talks River Song... Truly lovely and Grand.
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please read at least three books of the Bible. The first book of each testament and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness. It is important.
That time Ten was shot by a Dalek and the episode ended with us not knowing what was going to happen. Then the whole meta-crisis doctor
Excellent first choice. I was wondering what you were going for, and I didn't expect that, but I don't think anyone can disagree !
Doctor who needs more River Song.
I’m showing Doctor Who to my friend for the first time and I’m so excited to see her reactions to the Face of Boe, River Song and especially YANA. I still remember how wild that last one was to watch live. Her reaction to the Bad Wolf was already incredible, it’s so great to get to see the show for the first time through someone else’s eyes!
Professor River Song is the OG Doctor storyline.
Each one you counted down was a great reminder of those fantastic story lines.
I also adored River Song’s character but must admit that Wilfred’s 4 knocks was the most unexpected and shocking scene. I remember just sitting with my hand over my mouth thinking ‘Nooo’!
His character was adorable and I loved the relationship he and the Doctor had.
When Wilfred saluted the Doctor my tears poured, almost as much as when Rose was pulled into a parallel universe 😢
Another huge shocker was the revelation of the identity of the Face of Boe!
Oh how I miss those storylines.
If it wasn't for the stupid BBC, John simm's return in season 10 would have deserved a spot here. Cos that would have been absolutely mind blowing
Jack being the Face of Boe was a big fan theory before it was revealed.
I know Jack said he was nicknamed the Face of Boe.
I always thought that it was just That. A nickname because he had lived for some time.
Always saw Boe as an Olmec head. And the Olmec were Actually aliens who had been petrified due to the atmosphere on Earth at the time, where they originated, or due to the ailments being passed around due to all the traveling by others. (granted it doesn't explain how Boe knew the Doctor and called him old Friend.)
He didn't ask any basic questions at little kids or say "tomb of the silver monkey" once, though.
@@GabePuratekuta hahahahahahahhahaha!! Your a legend! Only a few people will get that reference; and I am one of them!! 😹😹
@@SirMeowsAlot89 what reference is that?
@@parthmudgal9270 a live action kids game show from the 1990’s called Legends of the hidden temple.
They remade it recently for a streaming service, but it was canceled after one season. The 1990’s version is better I am sure.
The Face Of Bo. Right up there. I had an inkling given that Jack was immortal and a time traveller.
FYI, the Valeyard (Who 6: The Trial Of A Timelord) identified himself as the amalgamation of all the Doctor's evils. Kinda hints at a War Doctor.

@@jamesmayle3787 way off topic and utterly uninteresting to me. Sit down.
Not sure this qualifies as a plot twist exactly but, one of my favorite moments has to be .... DOCTOR DONNA!!!
Think you missed the Amy living in a universe of her own thoughts (all of season 5) was great too. From matts very first episode you get a sense that he's a super genius and instantly notices something is wrong when he asks what's that? How do you know its a duck pond if there aren't any ducks. Then when the universe is reset the pond has ducks.... I mean the ducks aren't the twist but that whole plot line

@@jamesmayle3787 I've read all of the bible... and the quran and many other religious texts. I've also studied old gods, old mythologies.. many years 2000+ years before Jesus I might add. Do you know what osiris, horus, Buddha, krishna, mithra, hercules, thammuz and I could go on, have in common with Jesus? No? They were all crucified, died buried and came back to life 3 days later! Hmm odd that that happened 1000's of years before Jesus.. oh because his story is just a rehash of millenia before. It comes from the sun BTW. On the 21st of Dec the sun hits the horizon appears to stay until it starts rising 3 days later. Another thing all them names have in common with Jesus.. they are all made up.
Wilfred knocking is the best twist among all of these. Best one to save for last, though professor Yana being the Master is one of my favorite twists.
“The Impossible Astronaut” was the first episode I properly watched live so when 11 was shot and pronounced dead my initial thoughts were “WTF????????!?!?!??!?!” 😳😅😂
Also with it being my first season and Matt Smith being my first doctor, both are my favourites 😁
What I find intresting was this clip didn't even show the cliff hanger on how he got out of it his death when she shot him or she didn't and caused a paradox (spoilers maybe?)
The War Doctor is number 9? Oh, I see what you did there 😉
Rest well, Wilfred.
So sad to hear of the passing of Bernard.
RIP Bernard Cribbins. AKA Wilfred Mott who is truly one of the best character’s in the whole of Doctor Who
Yeah number one broke me... could not believe it!
Wilfred will be so missed. 😢 He was one of my most fave characters.
Vote Saxon. *Knocks four times* This twist was beyond amazing.
I loved the Name of The Doctor where River's and the Doctor's secret got revealed.
I’d add in the reveal of the Fugitive Doctor. Sure the ending of the arc was an absolute mess but the instance and reveal was such a big surprise for me
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please read at least three books of the Bible. The first book of each testament and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness. It is important.
One of my favorite plot twists?
You
Are
Not
Alone
The "Amy Pond is a Ganger" twist was extra fun if you were familiar with the semi-canon stuff from some of the books where it was revealed that a former companion whose biology was similar to that of a Ganger was turned into a TARDIS (and used during one version of the Time War/the Second Great War in Heaven for an icky breeding program to create more sentient TARDISes.). Apparently, being any kind of life form with pluripotent cells, like an embryo or a creation of the Remembrance Tanks, leads to hinky shit on a TARDiS.
As much as I agree with that topn I"m confused one of the biggest reveal isn't here : The Doctor isn't a Timelord.
Which made a lot of sense because Ten refused to change after his full regeneration. Then we learn the existence of the War Doctor which means Eleven is supposed to be his last incarnation. This is why he was about to die in The Time of the Doctor, because he actually was the thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor but his thirteenth Regeneration was triggered by Galifrey, giving birth to Twelve. But the it didn't make sense when Twelve regenerated, until we learn that HUMONGOUS trurh.
And I'm even more confused no one mention it in the comments o_O
Well technically they are a time lord. What they aren't is gallifreyan.
Aw I loved Wilf with all my heart. The knocking scene and him giving the option for the doctor to leave him is so heart-wrenching. RIP Mr Cribbins x
Another plot twist is Clara. Just the whole character. We first get introduced to her as soufflé girl who is actually a Dalek and dies saving the doctor, then she just shows up a few episodes later, alive, human and living in the 1800s. But then at the end of the Christmas special she dies yet again. And then at the end of the episode it shows her once again alive.
Fantastic job. If I could have a Doctor Who wish come true it would be to resolve all the loose ends.
That wouldn’t be fun. It’s all part of the mystery.
Maybe you're using the wrong shampoo?
This list has made me want to rewatch from the beginning once again. I think I’ll go do that now
I wouldn't say nobody saw that Jack was The Face Of Boe coming I saw speculation for months before about it
*Dr strange said he can borrow the Dr his "Timey Wimey" stone!!*
Capt Jack and the Face of BO wasn't a secret for long, many clues where given out in Dr Who and Torchwood. That secret was out before 2010.
First time i saw dr who, i was 4 years old and i discovered it by accident. It played only Saturday nightsat midnight
This is why I am so excited for the return of RTD. The way things were weaved and twists throughout were some of the best.
Best casting ever as John Hurt as the War Doctor
The '"ace of Boe" connection always felt contrived to me. Like it was tacked on last minute to the story to give the audiences a 'Oh Wow" moment.
I felt a little break in my heart when we got to Wilfred Mott's story..... RIP Bernard Cribbins
"It's not fair!"
RIP Bernard Cribbins 😢
I had a firm suspicion who the impossible astronaut was at the beginning of the opening episode and I was convinced she and the little girl at the end of the second episode were Rory and Amy's then unnamed daughter and by the time I first heard the phrase "the only water in the forest is the river" I simply knew River Song and (the then still unnamed) Melody Pond were the same person. Something that was confirmed for me when that phrase was repeated in A Good Man Goes To War. And even though the reveal was no longer really a surprise to me, it was still epic. It remains one of my favorite moments in the series.
The Statue of Liberty is a Weeping Angel
Honestly I feel the "I don't want to go." line has deeper meaning. Mind you before Matt Smith was the eleventh doctor, we find out the 11th doctor would of been the last life he had before he died for real and I felt that the 10th doctor was scares then because that would of been his last time of dodging death before the new regen cycle was made.
I've just rewatched the Doctor Who Confidential for Christmas 2009 part 2 (Allons-Y), when David Tennant does four takes of 'I don't want to go' with different degrees of emotion. Brilliant stuff (and I agree with the director's and Tennant's choice of take, for what that's worth).
Wilfred Mott, forever among the stars..
I was expecting 10’s surprise regeneration at the end of The Stolen Earth to be on here.
Those are pretty intense.
Saldy the daleks reveal in series 2 was ruined when doctor who got its awards, a dalek was rolled out and it was daleksec you could see the look on everyone's faces say "that's the wrong bloody dalek!" As an all black dalek hadn't yet been seen on new who. It was meant to have been a bronze one.
I love that the dr never forggets 4 knocks. It was mentioned in the episode 12 and clara travel to the end of time with dannys grandson and "nobody is left alive" i find it funny no matter how many time the dr has been to the edge of everything and at that point he still had to ask
The paradox that Danny and Clara never had children yet have a grandchild

I love how most of the time they’re revealed kinda casually
Season 6 is my fave too
And River is my fave TV character from anything ever!
i still remember to this day being a kid and hearing those 4 knocks and my heart immediately sinking into my chest
I watched Torchwood first before ever watching Doctor Who.... the surprise that shot through my body about Captain Jack was INSANE!
The moon was a giant space dragon egg
RIP Wilfred. As Bernard Cribbins left this world on July 28, 2022.
That face of beau reveal was a huge anti-climax. We the fans saw it coming a mile off but were hoping there would be a whole episode where they find out. It was just bad writing that they simply blurted it out.
Poor Wilf. My heart broke for him.
What was everyone’s theories at the time about the 4 knocks before the acc reveal? Thinking back I think I thought it was another doctor who would knock
At the time, I was one of the ones who fell for the Master being the knocker.
Another Doctor? Like a callback to the Valeyard?
The last one had me bawling... so well written. And so heart wrenching but unavoidable. A true Master Piece.
3:45 - I read that as "Amy Pond is a GINGER" at first, and I was like, "Um... That was a surprise?" 🤣🤣
We're not going to mention David Tennant regenerating after seeing Rose again and the episode ending before he could change? Everyone freaked out because a new Doctor hadn't been revealed in real life - we had to wait seven days before he just blasted the energy into his cut off hand.
bernard’s acting (along with david’s) was what made me sob so much i couldn’t see. it was absolutely heart wrenching. wilfred is just so innocent and has a pure heart and you can see it in his face. i couldnt take it 🤧

The Fugitive Doctor?!?
The Dalek sphere. It was supposed to be an unextected twist, but in the "Next time" teaser on the previous episode, it showed someone getting zapped using the Dalek extermimation effect.
