Why does this sound like another revolution that involved spoons and baboons?
Darn was hoping for the GamerSupps collab
Doctor Who is the BBC's William Afton.
It always comes back.
Technically Chucky said that line first
Who’s William Afton 🤔
@@CashelOConnolly main antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's
@@GhostlyPhantom oh,ok thanks ✌🏻
Doctor Who is like the phoenix no matter if is gonna be cancelled somewhere in the future is gonna comeback. I don't think this is gonna happen in near future, but maybe in 20 or 30 years ahead and later is gonna comeback
Personally I think the BBC would have been daft to cancel the show after the Chibnall era. They would have left themselves open to serious accusations of sexism from media outlets; cancelling after the first female Doctor would not be a good look.
The Doctor Who movie would have likely performed better here in the States if it didn't have such tough competition. I believe a major Roseanne episode aired at the same time.
But Doctor Who is still going, while "Roseanne" was cancelled and rebooted as "the Conners" without her. Karma
There's something really funny about a show so frequently under the threat of cancellation right from the very beginning lasting literal decades
The Daleks saving the show, there's something rather ironic and poetic about that.
I think this video is a hint that Harbo's channel is in trouble
The fact harbo liked your comment makes me think you're right
Dw, i'm recording the "Harbo in Distress" song to help him out
I’ve just checked on social blade,he isn’t exactly in trouble but his viewing figures are down but his channel seems to have always bounced up and down
love to see you having fun with the editing!
love to see you in general 🐺🥀⛓
i thought you were going to skip passed the hans zimmer trivia for a second there
Never
Russell T Davies is a mad man. He took on what was a dead show and sprinkled his magic onto it and made it into something truly amazing and the show we know and love today because I will say it again the man is completely mad, like fully and totally and utterly bonkers but he's a genius.
If Davies was so fantastic he would had insisted that Doctor Who be left on BBC America so that a majority of Doctor Who fans could watch the show!
Russell T Davies a genius! 😂 He rips off other people’s ideas and he sexualises the Doctor whilst obsessed with soap opera elements and Deus ex machina.
He used to be a genius. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, he decided spreading his gospel was more important than, say, characterisation or plot
This show will never die
0:37 Exactly. Once you look into the show's history this gets really fascinating. Really glad that you decided to make a video on this as the misinfo & lazy takes get repetitive. Also the editing on this one is great.
It will have to end at some point but someone could always revive it a few years. There will always be spin off material, audios and books etc. I do think the last hiatus of 9 years (or 15 between actual seasons) did it the world of good. I don’t want it to be cancelled i would rather Doctor Who got better, but they need to get a complete new writing team and people with the right ideas.
doctor who getting cancel and then revived is just an eternal and beautiful cycle
Wrong Doctor who is not 61 years old It will be 61 years old late November It is currently 60 years old
My first sofa memories were very late Troughton but "my Doctors" were Pertwee and Tom. I loved it all, warts and all, and collected the old Target books (our DVD equivalents) but that was it really. I did go to the old Fitzroy a couple of times because I had a friend who produced a letrasetted, typewritten, hand drawn art, carbon copy fanzine and needed a hand. It was fun, but not life or identity defining. And frankly as Michael Grade tightened the vice and eventually popped it, I sort of agreed with his reasons because it really was running on fumes by that stage. I've enjoyed the relaunch mostly, but been recently getting the same feeling. Oh look a squirr... er dalek. And this time it's purple and can tapdance...
But let it continue in whatever shape, that's fine with me. As with much pop stuff, there's just so much back catalogue that you can pretty much self syndicate as you wish. Whether totalising or dipping, by the time you've run through some stuff your memories have faded just about enough to make it enjoyable to go around again.
As a postscript thought, it occurs that certain shows seem to be if not exactly timeless, certainly extremely rewatchable. I've felt, and hey it's just my feeling, that recently Dr Who has been losing that. I think it mostly comes down to style and characters rather than specific subject preoccupations. For instance, I've never really got tired of Red Dwarf - although the archly self-referential "characters in a world where they are characters" stuff was imo a very rare flop overreach from a team that had an incredible record of wonderfully successful risk taking.
Your video effects and editing is getting better.
And I noticed that insert of edging at the start....sneaky
Wow this is quite the journey it had for cancellations. I actually didn't know much about it, this was very helpful. Good video exploring it
I hope it's not going to be really in cancellation problem again until Someone like Joseph Michael stracynzki or i don't know Phoebe Waller bridge is going to take over from Russell after 2027 or a distant future
JMS yes, PWB no!!! 😮
because doctor who was never cancelled again Even after tennant,i have Capaldi ,the childhood fan since the very beginning and the 12th doctor as my fav doctor
Thankfully, the BBC banned that dreadful record from being played anywhere. Much to many participants' relief. Despite being a fan of Dr Who from Jon Pertwee's time, I never heard a note of it. Until tonight. Thank you. Not 🤢
The ratings are on par with what they were when it was cancelled back in 1989. I really do not see it lasting much longer.
Everything gets lower ratings now, the audience is spilt up about a gazillion ways whilst back then there were only 4 channels and not that many videos games etc.
Doctor who is un killable even if they do soft cancel it, it would only be a matter of time before suddenly it comes back. If the wilderness years taught us anything it’s that the story’s in doctor who will never end and will just be carried on by someone else. Also u seem to gone through a change of pace yourself with a sentient ball loving it!
Unearthly Child was repeated the following week. I still remember watching it, aged 7, being creeped out by the weird opening titles and theme music unlike anything I had ever heard. The cavemen story was boring as **** though, I must agree
Mary 💩House was awful
Doctor Who in it's current state is FUBAR, cancellation would be a mercy killing! 😮
Just to be clear series 9 is the final review, you won't be finishing it of with series 10?
This video actually unintentionally changed my mind about the "Season 1" reboot angle of the new series. What if it was RTDs way of saying "I wont let Doctor Who die, this is a beginning, not an end"
I've been a fan for almost fifty years, I yearned for it's return during the last hiatus and I am now yearning for the next hiatus! ❤
You got me with the rat gif bait
Doctor Who will outlive Cher😂🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
You forgot to mention that a large majority of Doctor Who fans can no longer afford to watch Doctor Who due to BBC placing Doctor Who behind the Elitist Paywall of Disney Plus. Why couldn't BBC had left Doctor Who on BBC America, at least they would have far more viewers than they do now.
yeah, i do think it probably should have been on the other BBCs too
but maybe Disney wasn't willing to do a deal with that
Harbo please if you fall out of love with doctor who please dont do a star wars theory and join mauler and his cronies on electronic frauds
Amazing video as always. If doctor who is about to be cancelled, I'll phone the BBC and become showrunner and keep it going as long as there's a breath in my body. If they cancel doctor who I'll kill myself, so it would be murder
👍 bacteria and the, bacteria agriculture bacteria hey Google end speech to text
Was that the Driftveil City theme from Pokemon Black and White?? 😭
You can’t have Doctor Who without Doctor Who? Mmm… tell that to Russell T Davies! He thinks the character should be totally humanised and sexualised. He scrapped the regeneration and replaced it with the dreadful bi-generation and turned the Doctor into a catwalk model type complete with libido and over emotional personality. Honestly seeing Gatwa mouth open and crying all the time makes me think that Russell wanted to sabotage what has worked since its creation. Putting it out of its misery would be merciful. Take a look back at part one of Ambassador’s of Death and compare that to Disney Who and you’ll see how Doctor Who has gone from a gritty, dark hardcore science fiction to a laughable camp silly over sentimental fantasy soap opera. Late 80’s Who was silly but better written than what we have now. I doubt the likes of Sylvester McCoy would be cast today. RTD would consider him not handsome enough or sexy enough. The show lost the unique qualities it had when RTD damaged the consistency of the Doctor’s core character. Peter Capaldi understood that the Doctor should never behave too human. Tennant is overrated and OTT. The flirtatious crap really didn’t need to happen but RTD has sex on the brain. Give the series to decent science fiction writers.
Bro just called some old woman from the 70s a culture war grifter 😂
edging who
i can't believe that i'm hearing siivagunner music in a doctor who video essay
Although Quatermass was originally a BBC property, the version you cite was on ITV, and was terrible. I was actually relieved when Quatermass himself was killed at the end (sorry, SPOILERS)
Fun fact - the executive producer of this version of Quatermass was one Verity Lambert
