21:57 "Ticket to Ride" is the same song that Vicki, Ian, Barbara, and the First Doctor watched The Beatles perform through the Time-Space Visualizer in "The Chase" Edit: It's the only surviving footage of that performance.
Maybe the first one, but the other two look like episode footage, not trailer footage. Plus with Mrs Flood breaking the fourth wall, it might be a regular thing
I'm sure many people have thought of it before but way back in the very first Hartnell episode the band that Susan was listening to on her transistor radio was a pastiche of the Beatles called JOHN SMITH and the Common Men. I wonder if the references might go that deep.
My space babies theory is Jocelyn says she needs to protect the babies from the monster...but is the villain and the demogorgon is actually the nanny for the babies who is trying to protect them from her.
It's worth pointing out that both Toxic by Britney Spears and Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders have been used on the show before in the RTD era. Toxic was in End of the World and Voodoo Child was in The Sound of Drums, so interesting callbacks to include those in the jukebox, not sure if there's any further relevance to include them.
That blue suit with the 60s hair is jus perfect. Wish that was his main suit but I’m glad he’s never gonna be pinned down to just one it does keep it fresh , would be cool if he tried on the other doctors outfits in an episode or 2 would be interesting to see the doctor revisit old looks
i think the 4th wall break is either going to be a one time thing for "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" episode (maybe two episode depending on whether it leads into the finale or not??). But either way, the first glimpse in the show of Ncuti's 4th wall break I think is that wink to camera in the Bridgeton episode, and that scene is apart of the final scene of that episode and in classic RTD fashion, we'll have a tease in the penultimate story that leads into the finale. And with the Title teaser showing the camera and TV show vibe of the Legend of Ruby Sunday episode, either the Doctor will break the 4th wall due to the myths becoming reality concept, and the Doctor knowing he's in a TV show becomes real for this episode or there is TV show surrounding the legend of Ruby Sunday and the Doctor is just having fun or talking to that shows audience trying to get a message out there etc. Pretty loose but keeps expectations in check and doesn't completely ruin the show for me (as I think the Doctor should never be aware of us - break the 4th wall sure, but in episodes like Heaven Sent, Sleep No More or like I hope here and it's built into the plot where it makes sense within the show and doesn't fundamentally change the Doctors' character massively...... again)
I think the 4th wall breaks seen in this trailer only are just for the trailer. They're very reminiscent of the "journey of a lifetime" trailers for RTD's first Series 1, where the Doctor talks to the audience in the Tardis. It's just a callback to that
Mrs Flood has already broken the fourth wall so we’ve already seen that in-universe. The Doctor winking at the camera is clearly episode footage. Maybe some of them are for marketing, but not all
This second trailer felt more like a classic trailer where the previous felt like a general teaser Edit: About the multiple outfits, I think it’ll make it easier for cosplayers but I think the problem stems from several outfits making it so there isn’t an iconic recognizable “that’s the Doctor” kind of cosplay.
I think his big leather coat outfit will be his iconic look. It's the only one with variations, and it's the one used in the comics from both Titan and DWM.
I love how nuanced the "Into dust" line is - Fifteen pulls off the "look me up" type speech right up until the end, when he slightly oversells it, revealing that the Doctor actually *is* scared, with just a slight over-emphasis and tremor to his last words.
My BOOM theory is the Doctor not realizing that he lands on Skaro and not knowing saves Davros from stepping on the landmine. Stopping Davros from becoming wheelchair bond. Changing history and ultimately his arch-nemesis story.
9:57 omd my dad and me just came up with a theory that is probably baseless but i thought i would mention it in case it is useful!! the doctor who insta keeps trying to make parallels between ruby and rose and the only link seems to be a blonde companion (i personally think ruby is more clara coded) but i just realised ruby and rose are both shades of red! could this mean something like a stronger connection between rose’s current alternate universe and ruby’s seeming alternative personas and deeper truman show plot line?? i know it seems far fetched but it seemed odd to me that they have made just so many odd links to rose AND THE RED COLOUR LINK?
At 13:40, did anyone else notice how Callie Cooke's clothes bare a striking resemblance to Rose's clothes in "The Idiot's Lantern"? Also, what if the landmine isn't an explosive landmine, but a landmine that, when stepped off of, it displaces you somewhere that's possibly completely deserted?
When I saw the dot and bubble episode and all the screen stuff and how it seems that this (the internet and social media) is going to be important in the episode, it kinda made me think and make a theory. What if this was a kind of a retelling of the idiot's lantern, but in a "new" context, and thats why the outfit of Callie resembles to Rose's one? I know its crazy, but it would be cool to see it.
You can actually see Jocelyn in the previous trailers, in the Christmas one (the first shot of the broadcast version I believe) and in the BBC new years trailer where the Doctor says that every story has a hero. She’s very blurred though
@@danthemeegs8751 no, no, no. Not reveal, but some tease. Something that would suggest this episode is actually more important than we think. In the last 2 episodes a big reveal that would take us back to the first. That's something interesting to think about.
That Album Cover has been parody by almost everyone. Even Paul McCartney referenced it in one of his solo albums when he walked a sheep dog accross the street at Abbey Road.
Okay, theory time - I've mentioned previously that I thought that "The Devil's Chord" would take place around the time the Beatles were recording "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" (right around 1966 for those keeping score). Well, keeping in mind the water I was sure I caught sight of during the dance clips in the trailers, maybe the song the Doctor is singing is "Rain" - which was recorded during the "Revolver" sessions and then released as the B-side of their single "Paperback Writer". I'd still like to have "Tomorrow Never Knows" included in some way, but "Rain" had early backward effects as well, which has a timey-whimey aspect. Just 38 days to go - who else is excited? 😃
I also wish the guys from Inside No. 9 would give it a bash too. They've both appeared separately in Doctor Who before but their screenwriting would also fit the tone of one of the darker episodes.
My actual fear about the Doctor having so many different outfits is that every doctor before has had a very distinct visual identity that are their iconic look. 9 had the leather jacket, 11 had the bowtie, 4 had the scarf, etc. What will 15 have? I love Ncuti and he deserves to have that iconic identity.
Watching the trailer, I did pick up on even through Ruby and 15 change their outfits, there does seem to be some aspects that are the same in all/most of their clothing. None-the-less fans will lock on to what an iconic version is. Like Rose's union jack shirt.
The four songs that ellie said are in the jukebox are all songs that have been in doctor who previously - ticket to ride was in the chase and the other three were all in rtd episodes
@@Amanda_Butterfly Jesus H Christ, that makes so much sense! I like your comment! I wonder if Mrs. Flood could be the woman who placed the baby at the church and she just promised the Doctor to keep very quiet about it because they would be meeting out of order. Though I still don't understand why she acted like she'd never seen the TARDIS before and complained that Abdul had somehow dumped a police box outside her doorstep at the beginning of the Christmas special. Maybe the whole "out of order" thing could be something.
In my opinion, this trailer was WAY better than the first one! Something about the pacing and the way it presented the different adventures worked much better. I also LOVED the line "in a heartbeat, into dust", and thought it 100% showed off Gatwa's acting!
Around 20 minutes in when Ellie mentions the unused shot from the anniversary teaser, what if that’s what the shot with Ruby & the snow is- a teaser shot for the next Christmas special.
"...all that jazz." Standing ovation, chef's kiss, start the wave... One day, I may not be surprised by the clever comments, but it is not this day. Very excited, you have no idea.
Your hypothesis about Boom is actually similar to a fan fiction story I created where The Doctor is incapacitated, and the companion has to figure out how to get them both out of this situation. During the Doctor's incapacitation, though, they will be in a dream state where they encounter the Dream Lord and learn about their connection to The Valeyard (as well as a little bit of exposition where the Dream Lord taunts The Doctor about the loss of companions and some of the loss from the Time War (which would be expanded upon in the finale where the Valeyard is actually created).
Are we going to talk about those songs in the jukebox? Toxic was played during end of the world when the guests were arriving and Voodoo Child was the first Iconic Masters dance in the sound of drums
22:35 "the final image of a person before something bad happens"... When I saw that background I thought of 12 saying his goodbyes to Bill and Nardole in "Twice upon a time", maybe that's where the sense of doom comes from
I believe that the doctor we saw in the pub Rubys band played at from the Christmas special is a future version revisiting the timelines. Where he wore the Stetson and orange jumper as that’s the only time we saw that outfit and the scene was already contextually vague as to why the doctor was there. The woman we keep seeing was also there
We're all making the assumption that the landmine goes "bang" it's Dr Who it could be a psychic shock and the Doctor has to find their way back to consciousness
The episode is called "boom", though. Actually, that may as well mean PTSD. Like, when hearing a loud sound and getting flashbacks. And when hinting at the contents of the episode, one of the words they gave us was "moment". Like "the Moment", from the 50th, also written by Steven Moffat.
Could the dead tardis refer back to David Tenant in Wild Blue Yonder saying that's how he'd like the Tardis to be , on a planet somewhere worshipped by the local people? .. Just a thought
I think Jinx's character is going to be like a "muse" that gets summoned by The Beatles to help get past some creative block but who turns out to be a musical demon instead that the doctor has to help rid the band of.
Has anyone considered that the Tardis, covered in moss and plants on the cliff top, is where the Tardis goes when it runs away during Wild Blue Yonder? It immediately made me think of that bit of dialogue where Fourteen talks about what might happen to the Tardis if it’s sat in a place for hundreds of years. It might even connect to the S. Triad thing…
I think the fourth wall breaks in the beginning and end of the trailer is either just something made specifically for the trailer or maybe it's something in the style of the bootstrap paradox scene in the beginning of Before The Flood, where the twelfth Doctor explained the paradox to the audience.
Ok Ellie. What did you think of that April Fool's joke yesterday that said Ncuti leaving after his second season and Matt Smith returning as the 16th Doctor?
If they are acknowledging bridgeton as a show in universe, will they have a cheeky comment on why Martha’s mum and that guy from time heist are in the show? Oh and jinx monsoon is the devil. The tritone is called the devils chord because when played it summonses the devil. FYI, it’s also the opening chord of the Simpsons theme.
The "it's you" scene makes me think the babies are clones with the previous incarnation's full knowledge (which is why they can talk and why the one might recognize The Doctor, he'd have met him before).
I am going to echo another comment made. You say the baby is talking to the Doctor and saying it's you BUT Ruby is standing right next to him it could actually be her the baby is talking too. What if she originated on that ship and the nurse/Nanny was the woman who took her to the church. Just a thought 🤔
That's highly possible. Especially if you consider that the babies are seeing Ruby as an adult, so therefore, to keep time running properly, baby Ruby must be sent to Earth to live out her life to allow her to end up back at that point on the spaceship as an adult.
(Sorry this is dark) I have a theory that the ‘monster’ from the episode “The Space Babies” gains the intelligence of what it eats, and wants to eat the babies because of their high intelligence. I definitely think that the line in the trailer about all life in the universe being wiped out is from the episode “Empire of Death”, or at the end of the episode before it. My Mom suggested that maybe this is something the Doctor says because Ruby isn’t there; if she was badly injured, then she wouldn’t be in any condition to remind him to stop and not go too far. Perhaps the line in the trailer is a call-back to the “The Runaway Bride” ending, where Donna said, “…because sometimes I think you need someone to stop you.” It could also be a reminder of the Doctor’s fierceness, even though he appears to be freed from his past trauma this trait isn’t gone. It’s cool to hear that “Toxic” and Voodoo Child” are on the jukebox, considering those songs have been heard before in Doctor Who, the first time Russell T. Davies was showrunner. Also when Ellie mentioned a dance off I thought of the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie.
My theory is the person following Ruby is the Doctor. The Doctor 'dies' or 'disappears' and he is trying to contact Ruby. He is following her through her life as she learns to live without him, he gets closer and closer. In the last trailer we saw an eldery woman scream and assumed she was going to die but her hand placement is more like joy or happiness over her heart
The Beatle song While My Guitar Gently Weeps has always been rumored to have an extra guitar playing during the song. Everyone thought it was Clapton but what if it’s the Doctor? I love it
The bit with the image that keeps popping up reminds me of when in The End of the World where Nine takes that deep breath and slows down time or whatever he did in order to walk through the fan blades.
I hope the mulitple outfits becomes a staple for ncutis era only. I like doctors having iconic outfits, but having 15s outfit focused on being indecisive coul d be a hint at more about his personality
Also, constantly changing his outfits would work well with him talking about freedom. This is a "reboot" in RTD's mind, right? So he, and the Doctor, are free to be whomever they want to be, exploring that what means after all this time.
Other songs on the jukebox: Toxic - Britney Spears - Featured in The End of the World Starman - David Bowie - Featured in the trailer Voodoo Child - Rogue Traders - Featured in The Sound of Drums (HERE COME THE DRUMS)
My prediction with "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" is that Ruby will indeed die, and the Doctor will make her a legend, a folktale, something of a myth. And since Myths are becoming real, this will bring Ruby back. It kind of echoes the Big Bang and Martha's journey, but rather than a companion doing it for the Doctor, the Doctor does it for a companion.
Oh yeh, that sounds exactly like something they would do, have someone die then bring them back. I hope it's not what they do, though. Long since got tired of the show doing that.
Ooooooo... In 'the giggle' Kate says to a guard to take the toymaker in a box into the basement, and bury him in salt. I bet that's going to be the same room that the doctor, kate and lenny will be in.
I think that boom is gonna be a Groundhog Day type story. Where the doctor keeps stepping on the landmine and exploding only for time to reset to just before he steps on it. And it will be up to Ruby to find a way to fix whatever is happening.
Probably already said - "Ticket to Ride" is the Beatles track that plays in Episode 1 of "The Chase" - The Executioners. Take from a live TV performance of some sort.
“Not cocking up” is a bigger deal than it used to be, in the era of HDR colour. Doctor Who is now (finally!) in HDR, after a couple of brief examples during Jodie’s era. But it’s hard. Very hard. Even most UA-camrs who have the ability to do it, won’t, or have tried and stopped.
A curiosity for anyone who can provide the answer to a question I am probably over-complicating. The further an object is away, the farther back, or red shifted, in time we are looking. Objects coming toward blue shift. When the TARDIS is traveling we see a red or blue shift. Which shift represents the future? Personal thoughts are red is the past, blue is the future. Cheers....
The narration aspect has been going on since TCORR. But then again, you could argue that for The Star Beast, the TV Movie, The Deadly Assassin, or The Daleks' Masterplan episode 7! Maybe he's always known he's on TV and just doesn't look at the camera... most of the time.
I think Jinx Monsoon saying “You called?” is NOT from the The Devils Chord. I think bc “everything is becoming more supernatural” that a bigger badder god will be the villain of the finale and they have to get Jinx back to get information or even help fight. She comes from inside a piano, trapped in there, very much like the toy maker being trapped in his box at the end of The Giggle. She’s not happy to be released and seems almost disappointed that “they called.”
I do think the 4th wall breaking is reminiscent of when Christopher Eccleston did it in the season 1 trailers telling us to come along with him not that there will be any of it in the actual season
My dot and bubble theory: It is an adaptation of “Valhalla”. An audio play with a Seventh doctor. As I have listened to it, it has a lot of similarities. Doctor is coming to a city, covered in a huge bubble. Everything there seems sort of dystopian and everyone is kind of happy. Until Doctor finds that this city is occupied by some Bug-ish villains. Everything that is described by me has happened in “Valhalla”. And it links with an everything, that we know about this episode.
Not worried about 4th Wall breaks, they can be good. I'll never forget 12 explaining the bootstrap paradox to viewers. Really looking forward this next month, seems like all the greatest/best things are happening on the horizon!! Super excited.
literally my only wish for the 60's episode is to have some kind of reference to the 2nd Doctor. Hartnell is iconic for sure, but I feel with a Beatles related episode there has GOT to be a reference to the Doctor who actually had a Beatles haircut
So many aspects of this season make me wonder if they are somehow in a Videogame. If Boom has some sort of respawn element in the story, or as a series long arc the toy maker has actually had the doctor trapped in the modern day toy of video games.
After watching your video on upcoming episode titles, I noticed something. Apparently, the finale episode has the title of 'Empire Of Death' ? Well, when you visit the Catacombes, here in Paris, there is a sign which reads, ''Arrête! C'est ici l'empire de la Mort'' ("Stop! This is the empire of Death"). Could it be a clue ?
Great report, Ellie!!! The “Simpsons bubble” struck me as the Time Lord City on Gallifrey at first glance, but that can’t be right. Except maybe it’s a time travel episode and it looked different in the past? Nahhh
Or perhaps not necessarily "narrating," but considering the "Breakdown of Reality" that keeps getting mentioned since The Doctor invoked, "Superstition(?)" (I think that's the word I'm looking for.) All of these Supernatural going's on, and other weird crap, perhaps the barrier between what's "scientifically proven and real" and Ghosts, Goblins, Ghoulies, and other assorted Cryptids is dissipating in some form or another. Maybe that includes the barrier between The Doctor's reality and our own?
I am calling it now, RTD is going to be using that shot of Ncuti opening his eye against the orange background in every trailer for every season, but it never appears in the actual show. Then, in Ncuti last episode, he will finally use it. I'm probably wrong, but imagine if RTD actually did that. 😂
21:57 "Ticket to Ride" is the same song that Vicki, Ian, Barbara, and the First Doctor watched The Beatles perform through the Time-Space Visualizer in "The Chase" Edit: It's the only surviving footage of that performance.
16:17 "using music as a weapon and all that jazz".... Ellie... ELLIE! Take a bow for slipping that pun in there.....
I saw what you did there.
Cue the Minmay song defense!!
I think the 4th wall breaks are just for the trailer, similar to the 9th Doctor in the old trailers for the revival back in 2005.
Yeah, she’s overthinking it
Very obviously. The one in the beginning even has a different aspect ratio than the rest of the trailer.
Maybe the first one, but the other two look like episode footage, not trailer footage. Plus with Mrs Flood breaking the fourth wall, it might be a regular thing

I'm sure many people have thought of it before but way back in the very first Hartnell episode the band that Susan was listening to on her transistor radio was a pastiche of the Beatles called JOHN SMITH and the Common Men. I wonder if the references might go that deep.
Was thinking the same. So if you are wrong, we are both wrong.
My space babies theory is Jocelyn says she needs to protect the babies from the monster...but is the villain and the demogorgon is actually the nanny for the babies who is trying to protect them from her.

To me the "I have freedom" lines rings of 10's "Timelord Victorious" speech
Didn't the start of the church on Ruby road have Ncuti Gatwa narrating? Would that not possibly continue throughout the next series?

I don't know about your theory, but I'm pretty sure that the forth wall breaks are going to be a plot point.
If they aren't, they should.
My actual fear about the Doctor having so many different outfits is that every doctor before has had a very distinct visual identity that are their iconic look. 9 had the leather jacket, 11 had the bowtie, 4 had the scarf, etc. What will 15 have? I love Ncuti and he deserves to have that iconic identity.
He doesn’t need clothes to be noticed. He’s Ncuti Gatwa. His face is his iconic identity. Not a bunch of clothes.
Maybe a wide wardrobe will be his identity

None-the-less fans will lock on to what an iconic version is. Like Rose's union jack shirt.
Instead of getting the job of finding a look in a single story, Doctor#15 seems to be taking his time and doing it in eight.
Why? This means that every episode can have a new toy.
Maybe the piano is a Tardis?
The four songs that ellie said are in the jukebox are all songs that have been in doctor who previously - ticket to ride was in the chase and the other three were all in rtd episodes

Out there theory: the Jukebox is the Master's TARDIS!
How do you know they're saying "It's you," to The Doctor, not Ruby?
Thank you that was my immediate thought 🤔
I did wonder that too.....what if Ruby was a space baby that someone decided to put on earth? (Might explain the no trace of parents thing!)
Here's an odd thought... What if Ruby was "the" mother in some weird way?
YES! I wondered if the baby recognised Ruby, Not the Doctor.

Around 20 minutes in when Ellie mentions the unused shot from the anniversary teaser, what if that’s what the shot with Ruby & the snow is- a teaser shot for the next Christmas special.
16:21 music genre unintentional pun
"...all that jazz."
Standing ovation, chef's kiss, start the wave...
One day, I may not be surprised by the clever comments, but it is not this day.
Very excited, you have no idea.
Your hypothesis about Boom is actually similar to a fan fiction story I created where The Doctor is incapacitated, and the companion has to figure out how to get them both out of this situation. During the Doctor's incapacitation, though, they will be in a dream state where they encounter the Dream Lord and learn about their connection to The Valeyard (as well as a little bit of exposition where the Dream Lord taunts The Doctor about the loss of companions and some of the loss from the Time War (which would be expanded upon in the finale where the Valeyard is actually created).
Are we going to talk about those songs in the jukebox?
Toxic was played during end of the world when the guests were arriving and Voodoo Child was the first Iconic Masters dance in the sound of drums
The Church on Ruby Road starts with "Once upon a time..."
Are the babies hyper intelligent, or is it just the Doctor's knowledge of baby language being projected to the viewers?
22:35 "the final image of a person before something bad happens"... When I saw that background I thought of 12 saying his goodbyes to Bill and Nardole in "Twice upon a time", maybe that's where the sense of doom comes from
Amy's second episode "the beast below" is also very simular to that kind of episode
I believe that the doctor we saw in the pub Rubys band played at from the Christmas special is a future version revisiting the timelines. Where he wore the Stetson and orange jumper as that’s the only time we saw that outfit and the scene was already contextually vague as to why the doctor was there. The woman we keep seeing was also there
We're all making the assumption that the landmine goes "bang" it's Dr Who it could be a psychic shock and the Doctor has to find their way back to consciousness
The episode is called "boom", though.
Actually, that may as well mean PTSD. Like, when hearing a loud sound and getting flashbacks.
And when hinting at the contents of the episode, one of the words they gave us was "moment". Like "the Moment", from the 50th, also written by Steven Moffat.
It’s a moffat episode - it’ll be a time loop mine…
Could the dead tardis refer back to David Tenant in Wild Blue Yonder saying that's how he'd like the Tardis to be , on a planet somewhere worshipped by the local people? .. Just a thought
I think Jinx's character is going to be like a "muse" that gets summoned by The Beatles to help get past some creative block but who turns out to be a musical demon instead that the doctor has to help rid the band of.
12:17 I'm getting serious protective nanny, mamma bear vibes from Jocelyn. I'd say friend.
Has anyone considered that the Tardis, covered in moss and plants on the cliff top, is where the Tardis goes when it runs away during Wild Blue Yonder? It immediately made me think of that bit of dialogue where Fourteen talks about what might happen to the Tardis if it’s sat in a place for hundreds of years. It might even connect to the S. Triad thing…
Ah well. It was a fun theory while it lasted 😅
I think the fourth wall breaks in the beginning and end of the trailer is either just something made specifically for the trailer or maybe it's something in the style of the bootstrap paradox scene in the beginning of Before The Flood, where the twelfth Doctor explained the paradox to the audience.
Ok Ellie. What did you think of that April Fool's joke yesterday that said Ncuti leaving after his second season and Matt Smith returning as the 16th Doctor?
"It's you!" Ruby! She was one of those babies?
If they are acknowledging bridgeton as a show in universe, will they have a cheeky comment on why Martha’s mum and that guy from time heist are in the show?
Oh and jinx monsoon is the devil. The tritone is called the devils chord because when played it summonses the devil. FYI, it’s also the opening chord of the Simpsons theme.
The "it's you" scene makes me think the babies are clones with the previous incarnation's full knowledge (which is why they can talk and why the one might recognize The Doctor, he'd have met him before).
I am going to echo another comment made.
You say the baby is talking to the Doctor and saying it's you BUT Ruby is standing right next to him it could actually be her the baby is talking too. What if she originated on that ship and the nurse/Nanny was the woman who took her to the church. Just a thought 🤔
Or are they other babies/children that Carla has fostered?
Or will foster. (Timey wimey)
That's highly possible. Especially if you consider that the babies are seeing Ruby as an adult, so therefore, to keep time running properly, baby Ruby must be sent to Earth to live out her life to allow her to end up back at that point on the spaceship as an adult.
Just remember the doctor can talk to babies, so maybe we're just hearing what he hears.
(Sorry this is dark) I have a theory that the ‘monster’ from the episode “The Space Babies” gains the intelligence of what it eats, and wants to eat the babies because of their high intelligence.
I definitely think that the line in the trailer about all life in the universe being wiped out is from the episode “Empire of Death”, or at the end of the episode before it. My Mom suggested that maybe this is something the Doctor says because Ruby isn’t there; if she was badly injured, then she wouldn’t be in any condition to remind him to stop and not go too far. Perhaps the line in the trailer is a call-back to the “The Runaway Bride” ending, where Donna said, “…because sometimes I think you need someone to stop you.” It could also be a reminder of the Doctor’s fierceness, even though he appears to be freed from his past trauma this trait isn’t gone.
It’s cool to hear that “Toxic” and Voodoo Child” are on the jukebox, considering those songs have been heard before in Doctor Who, the first time Russell T. Davies was showrunner.
Also when Ellie mentioned a dance off I thought of the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie.
Come on May 11th, can't wait to watch series 14, looks awesome.
My theory is the person following Ruby is the Doctor. The Doctor 'dies' or 'disappears' and he is trying to contact Ruby. He is following her through her life as she learns to live without him, he gets closer and closer. In the last trailer we saw an eldery woman scream and assumed she was going to die but her hand placement is more like joy or happiness over her heart
The Beatle song While My Guitar Gently Weeps has always been rumored to have an extra guitar playing during the song. Everyone thought it was Clapton but what if it’s the Doctor? I love it
Ellie, THANKS for this!!!!
The bit with the image that keeps popping up reminds me of when in The End of the World where Nine takes that deep breath and slows down time or whatever he did in order to walk through the fan blades.
I hope the mulitple outfits becomes a staple for ncutis era only. I like doctors having iconic outfits, but having 15s outfit focused on being indecisive coul d be a hint at more about his personality
Also, constantly changing his outfits would work well with him talking about freedom. This is a "reboot" in RTD's mind, right? So he, and the Doctor, are free to be whomever they want to be, exploring that what means after all this time.
i love how all the songs on the juke box is call backs to RTDs eps
Other songs on the jukebox:
Toxic - Britney Spears - Featured in The End of the World
Starman - David Bowie - Featured in the trailer
Voodoo Child - Rogue Traders - Featured in The Sound of Drums (HERE COME THE DRUMS)
My prediction with "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" is that Ruby will indeed die, and the Doctor will make her a legend, a folktale, something of a myth.
And since Myths are becoming real, this will bring Ruby back.
It kind of echoes the Big Bang and Martha's journey, but rather than a companion doing it for the Doctor, the Doctor does it for a companion.
Oh yeh, that sounds exactly like something they would do, have someone die then bring them back.
I hope it's not what they do, though. Long since got tired of the show doing that.
Still, it’s an interesting idea. Ties in well with the background.
Ooooooo... In 'the giggle' Kate says to a guard to take the toymaker in a box into the basement, and bury him in salt. I bet that's going to be the same room that the doctor, kate and lenny will be in.
I think that boom is gonna be a Groundhog Day type story. Where the doctor keeps stepping on the landmine and exploding only for time to reset to just before he steps on it. And it will be up to Ruby to find a way to fix whatever is happening.
Probably already said - "Ticket to Ride" is the Beatles track that plays in Episode 1 of "The Chase" - The Executioners. Take from a live TV performance of some sort.
The fourth wall breaking clips with Ncuti in the TARDIS remind me of the series 1 “trip of a lifetime” trailer with Christopher Eccleston.
16:20 "All that JAZ" 🤣😂
I assumed that the 4th wall breaks was more just an updated version of the "Trip of a Lifetime" trailers but I could definitely see you being right.
“Not cocking up” is a bigger deal than it used to be, in the era of HDR colour. Doctor Who is now (finally!) in HDR, after a couple of brief examples during Jodie’s era. But it’s hard. Very hard. Even most UA-camrs who have the ability to do it, won’t, or have tried and stopped.
The color difference just looks like HDR on and off. When I watched the first trailer in 4K on D+ instead of UA-cam it looked just as colorful.
A curiosity for anyone who can provide the answer to a question I am probably over-complicating. The further an object is away, the farther back, or red shifted, in time we are looking. Objects coming toward blue shift. When the TARDIS is traveling we see a red or blue shift. Which shift represents the future? Personal thoughts are red is the past, blue is the future. Cheers....
Between 05 and 2010 that was the case.
So maybe.
The narration aspect has been going on since TCORR. But then again, you could argue that for The Star Beast, the TV Movie, The Deadly Assassin, or The Daleks' Masterplan episode 7! Maybe he's always known he's on TV and just doesn't look at the camera... most of the time.
I think Jinx Monsoon saying “You called?” is NOT from the The Devils Chord. I think bc “everything is becoming more supernatural” that a bigger badder god will be the villain of the finale and they have to get Jinx back to get information or even help fight. She comes from inside a piano, trapped in there, very much like the toy maker being trapped in his box at the end of The Giggle. She’s not happy to be released and seems almost disappointed that “they called.”
I do think the 4th wall breaking is reminiscent of when Christopher Eccleston did it in the season 1 trailers telling us to come along with him not that there will be any of it in the actual season
The bit at the start and end, is a PTC (piece to camera) it’s happened many times in previous trailers
My dot and bubble theory: It is an adaptation of “Valhalla”. An audio play with a Seventh doctor. As I have listened to it, it has a lot of similarities. Doctor is coming to a city, covered in a huge bubble. Everything there seems sort of dystopian and everyone is kind of happy. Until Doctor finds that this city is occupied by some Bug-ish villains.
Everything that is described by me has happened in “Valhalla”. And it links with an everything, that we know about this episode.
Not worried about 4th Wall breaks, they can be good. I'll never forget 12 explaining the bootstrap paradox to viewers.
Really looking forward this next month, seems like all the greatest/best things are happening on the horizon!! Super excited.
I've been a fan of Ncuti for a few years, but he is impressing me even more with these trailers.
I'm putting forth 'Twist and Shout' as the iconic Beatles song for the sance number. Time will tell...
Okay, a view from space, approaching Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" (the Earth), and when the view gets closer then the city bubble is seen.
Jinx is Simon Cowellesque. The Doctor is Beatlesque. Proper music vs Karaoke.
The clips with 15th /Ncuti directly speaking at the camera are for the trailer
literally my only wish for the 60's episode is to have some kind of reference to the 2nd Doctor. Hartnell is iconic for sure, but I feel with a Beatles related episode there has GOT to be a reference to the Doctor who actually had a Beatles haircut
So many aspects of this season make me wonder if they are somehow in a Videogame. If Boom has some sort of respawn element in the story, or as a series long arc the toy maker has actually had the doctor trapped in the modern day toy of video games.
They took the regeneration noise out of "that shot" though and Ncuti's staying around for at least another season.
After watching your video on upcoming episode titles, I noticed something. Apparently, the finale episode has the title of 'Empire Of Death' ? Well, when you visit the Catacombes, here in Paris, there is a sign which reads, ''Arrête! C'est ici l'empire de la Mort'' ("Stop! This is the empire of Death"). Could it be a clue ?
the seen with all the dust is literally outside the place I work, when I went to my interview they were filming and I could have met the new doctor
Great report, Ellie!!! The “Simpsons bubble” struck me as the Time Lord City on Gallifrey at first glance, but that can’t be right. Except maybe it’s a time travel episode and it looked different in the past? Nahhh
I'm glad Winifred Sanderson got more work since Hocus Pocus.
He is so so Charming I can't stop looking at his adorable face.
Or perhaps not necessarily "narrating," but considering the "Breakdown of Reality" that keeps getting mentioned since The Doctor invoked, "Superstition(?)" (I think that's the word I'm looking for.) All of these Supernatural going's on, and other weird crap, perhaps the barrier between what's "scientifically proven and real" and Ghosts, Goblins, Ghoulies, and other assorted Cryptids is dissipating in some form or another. Maybe that includes the barrier between The Doctor's reality and our own?
I am calling it now, RTD is going to be using that shot of Ncuti opening his eye against the orange background in every trailer for every season, but it never appears in the actual show. Then, in Ncuti last episode, he will finally use it. I'm probably wrong, but imagine if RTD actually did that. 😂
