What is your Favourite Episode of Doctor Who?
Mines has got to be.... BLINK... soo good!
Don't Forget To Subscribe If You Enjoyed This Video :)
My favourite story is the one that fully turned me into a Whovian.
Death in Heaven.
9 year old me sat down and watched it after being invested by Capaldi since Deep Breath and Dark Water/Death in Heaven sold me as a Whovian.
While Colin Baker might be my favourite Doctor and despite watching the show since Tennant and Smith, Peter Capaldi will always be my true first Doctor.
Death in Heaven is just honestly a Underrated story and despite the controversy around "Dont Cremate me" I fucking enjoy that story still even nearly 10 years later.
It's amazing how a single episode can have such a profound impact on becoming a Whovian. Capaldi's performance truly shines in Death in Heaven! "Don't Cremate Me" will forever be ingrained in my memories also, I fully agree I love these episodes also such a sinister yet amazing way to tell a story!
Mine has got to be "Listen"! Not only is Capaldi my favorite Doctor and Clara my favorite Companion but I adore the concept of a creature that might not even be there yet just the thought of something hiding so perfectly, noone can be sure of it existing or not and noone can be sure whether it'd be evil, is enough to make you affraid.
Also I love the evening/night setting of this episode and Clara's speech at the end is perfection.
@@diamant_2dot0 it's an amazing story!
"It's like the episode itself was hiding in the shadows, waiting to surprise us with its brilliance. Capaldi and Clara's dynamic truly adds a special touch to 'Listen'."
FINALLY UA-cam HAS RECOMMENDED ME A POSITIVE DOCTOR WHO VIDEO!
Love this video a lot btw
Thank you, your support is appreciated 🙏
I mean It's existed for over 60 years so you'd probably imagine.
Like fine wine, some things just get better with age! But its still far too underrated.
@JohnsAttic ... and like a fine wine. If you decide to change the grape, you destroy what was fine about that wine.
Well I suppose that depends on the persons tastebuds?
@JohnsAttic true, if you have no taste buds for a fine wine, then a glass of cheap plonk will do.
@@keithb2055 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I find it funny how for the longest time, while it was airing, the Twelfth Doctor's era "had something missing" and "was too rushed" and "Capaldi was let down by the writing", and now it's bundled together with the Smith era in that it could do no wrongs (and don't get me wrong, both had some absolute bangers, but in general it's not better or worse than Thirteens's era, although, personally, Eleven's ranks lower). A time will come where Thirteen's era will be fully appreciated more broadly, like Twelve's, which was too harshly judged at the time too.
I can agree with this, but there is definaitly something about chibnals era that is missing something, I don't know what it is.. the writing seems all over the place for Jodies Doctor also one minute its like she is channeling 9 then the next she has a fez on channeling 11, there is something off with it but I do plan on rewatching all 3 series of Jodie again and doing a deep dive into this so subscribe if you wanna hear my thoughts on that when it comes out.. my perspective on it may change.
You're right.
My very first TV memory was Jon Pertwee fighting a Sontaran in a medieval castle and then watching him regenerate into Tom Baker. What Doctor Who has over shows like Star Trek (and I do like Star Trek) is that it’s given itself to be essentially the same show with the same character. The Doctor, the Tardis and companions is the template. In fact The Doctor is always the Doctor, no matter what he/she looks like. Captain Kirk is different from Picard who is different from Janeway. Their ships are different. You have to watch to see if you’re onboard with those differences. Doctor Who as a show actually regenerates, it’s different but the same. In your head, any doctor could swapped out to do any adventure and maintain the characters moral code. Whereas Kirk may punch you in the face while Picard may be more diplomatic. It’s the greatest show in the world and continues because they can be anywhere and any time. Plus, issues are solved by being clever rather than shooting a gun. Something that makes it pretty unique.
You had me at Jon Pertwee fighting a Sontaran in a medieval castle! Doctor Who always knows how to keep things interesting, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing your TV memory and insights on Doctor Who and Star Trek. It's fascinating how the characters and themes in each show differ. I appreciate your comment and enthusiasm for Doctor Who. It's great to connect with fellow fans who appreciate the uniqueness of the show.
This is one my Favourite TV Shows
Awesome choice! It's one of my favorites too.
A positive video about Doctor Who? Finally😭
Yessa! Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already for more who content.
Me and my partner have a joke that if a Russel T episode is on were going to be crying or traumatized, he is one of my favorite writers lol
Edit: SUPREMACY FOR BILL POTS!!!!!!
Haha, I feel you! Russel T's episodes really know how to make us feel all kinds of emotions. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I liked Bill because like me, she's a massive nerd.
* Sigh * Why keeps youtube recomending me this 'hate-channels' on Doctor Who, I always click to not recomend them and .... wait .... what? An actual positive title for Doctor Who? I must watch this.
Thank you Sir, you looked right into my soul and captivated the escence of what Doctor Who is and why it's still here.
I'm sooooo overjoyed UA-cam finally recomended a good video essay worth watching.
Blink is my most watched episode, though I have a soft spot for Love and Monsters (if one ignores the monster-of-the-week it's actually a good story with great music) and the 11th hour is also watched more then 'many' times, but the most fun is watching Doctor Who episodes with other people, it tripples the fun.
Again, much appreciated you made this video.
Who knew UA-cam could surprise us with something good once in a while, right? UA-cam's algorithm can be a bit wonky, but I'm glad it led you to something positive for a change! Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you found value in the content.
They are NOT hate channels, they are channels run by ardent Doctor Who fans who are really sad about the fact that their favourite show has been totally ruined by arrogant idiots who now just want to use the show to force their pc agenda down everyone's throats.
This was a lovely video showing some love to this brilliant show, which is exactly what is needed!
I love Doctor Who. Every Doctor and every era is so special and wonderful in it's own way, of course the show isn't perfect but nothing is, and I love it, warts and all! I'll always love this show ❤️ Long live Doctor Who
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and share the love for Doctor Who!
Best show on TV.
Isn't it just!
@@TardisTalks Well, I'm both a Whovian and a Trekkie.
Aren't we all?
yeah I agree and this is a good video describing and telling the subject in a nutshell with an accurate and good thumbnail but there's also lots of more into /about this subject and it's depths that even this comment is not gonna cover even nearly to the fullest limit.
Doctor who's structure as a show is different and it is a really unique and special one different from the rest, it can survive in many forms and can be made and upkept by fans in many ways and forms. it can cover and explore many things and many genres without being locked by one genre or aspect, even though imo and it basically is that most of the time that there's a sci-fi background in everything as there should be as that is easily over the rest and can explain much of the things by reason, and also dr who as a show is also easily above the rest and among the best tv shows, dr who can be and is everything and is already really much, with an extensive path of multiple alternate timelines/universes with many dimensions and variations of things in many forms of media and it should stay that way, with nearly everything being a part of the multiverse/whoniverse even if it is unofficial.
and it's just brilliant with lots of things and complexity, with many layers and themes along with a correct and good way of teaching ethics and lots of other good qualities and lessons too, that more people should strive for/be like/act in accordance to, it also can be more than a tv show, it can be a way of life, and then there's the community which should always stay welcoming and kind to new arriving viewers/fans and then if it is welcomed, also helpful to the new people giving tid bits of context and the community has actually been that for long so what I'm saying is that I hope it stays that way, and that the social media haters/people who are just completely wrong by fact should and shall be silenced with their misinformation.
I appreciate your detailed insights into the depth of Doctor Who. It's fans like you that make this community so vibrant.
@@TardisTalks thanks😁
That's FANTASTIC!, no thank you! Your support means a lot:)

Personally I don't think that the chipnall era and the Timeless child arc was bad and should be removed. But it definitely wasn't good.
I feel like the stories had potential, but certain elements like bad first time decisions and big issues that kind of brought them down. I do genuinely feel like there was and is a chance with the timeless child arc and the stories that chipnall brought to the table.
The timless children arc was really just not ideal because it introduced a big change to the doctor's background and just didn't explore it at all. I like the idea of their being more incarnations before Hartnell and am glad that chipnall worked in an old thread like the morbius doctors.
The fact that the doctor had more lives before doesn't necessarily affect the classic or the new who series.
I just feel that the execution wasn't ideal for introducing a whole new background for a well established character, especially the doctor, who is arguably the main and most important character.
I appreciate your balanced view on the Chibnall era and the Timeless Child arc. It's important to consider both the potential and the execution of these storylines.
@@TardisTalks agreed. Some people think that the chipnall era should be retconned. But if that happens then it wouldn't be fair to those who do like that era and also the ones who worked on it even though that certain aspects were weighing down the production.
Personally I always just have a head canon on certain things that don't make sense or even how the episodes that had potential and did kinda fall flat on their face happened. For example I always thought that there should have been more focus on yaz.
Starting off with Ryan on a UA-cam video never really sat right for me. Same with Ryan's dyspraxia, which could have been really good for character development but instead was just thrown away in the next episode when he immediately shot rapid fire on those sniper robots. Speaking of which I feel certain elements were a bit on the nose and weren't really introduced properly.
A better way that could have helped the era become more developed would be to have more of a focus on Yaz. Introducing Yaz's struggle with people and her job and even her thoughts would have given more depth to the relationship she created with the Doctor. Before the doctor Yaz could have been struggling emotionally and then now that Yaz knows the doctor, and travels with her she can finally find a difference. Especially The woman who fell to earth would have gained from this angle. We start on Yaz's life and problems. She wants something different that can really test her.
The episode would happen similarly to how it happened in the show. Except with more depth and more structural.
I feel Jodie was good just weighed down by certain things that were changed about the doctor and the writing, even though the writing did have some potential.
For example the doctor being socially awkward even though that their are MULTIPLE moments where the doctor does the exact opposite. I do think that the doctor now having social issues is good just it needs a reason that the doctor is no longer able to comfort their companion. I do get that the doctor has had some social issues over the years that were just introduced randomly but the fact that the doctor is in a private conversation with Graham and listens to his concerns with cancer and can't comfort him on his worries when it's cancer just confuses me.
When previous times when the doctor is literally dieing and takes the time to comfort their companion or even when that moment where the doctor is literally betrayed by their companion and basically blackmailed to save the companions partner and still helps them because they understand that they are going through a similar situation of grief and anger to the ones the doctor has gone through and also just because they care for their companion.. again its not bad but its not good either. Considering the potential is quite important in a show about possibilities for not just life but also relationships and events.
The 13th doctor although Jodie did portray them to the best that was possible, just felt shallow, not cause of the acting, cause there is great scenes jodie was able to pull off, but just because of poor decisions and problems behind the scenes. Like lockdown or having to many characters like you said in the video.
I still think Jo Martin's Doctor deserves a spinoff though; cause she was amazing, and definitely brought life to her incarnation.
@@AzurePastel007 " which could have been really good for character development but instead was just thrown away in the next episode when he immediately shot rapid fire on those sniper robots" Dyspraxia affects different people differently.
@@friendlyotaku9525 yes I know I have dyspraxia. I wasn't referring to it as definitive on how dyspraxia works. I'm sorry if I didn't word it correctly. But I was just saying that Ryan's has issues with aim and balance and stuff. When he then it's just not present in some scenes he would be affected by it. It just he has perfect aim without effort when shooting at robots but has to really focus when shooting a basketball in a hoop.
@@AzurePastel007 I think he was just overly excited in that moment, he does happen. It's just a funny little scene.
This is a lovely video! The world needs more Who appreciation like this. Keep it up!

Live for this!! Welcome to the Attic!
I'm constantly thinking about filming a similar video, but I'm sure it'd be like a 5+h long essay, as I can't stop talking about this show when I get into it, haha Loved your video and will be sharing it in the meantime, I totally agree with all of your points! ^^
You should! Id watch it :) and Thank You.
@@TardisTalks Thanks, I'll let you know if I will! Haha And you're welcome 💗✨
Doctor Who has been my favourite TV series since I first saw it in 1989, as a 7 year old. The very first story I saw was "Meglos". It started with a weird thing where two of the characters kept repeating what they were doing, which intrigued me. And then in Part Three Tom Baker turned into a cactus. I was HOOKED. The next story, "Full Circle" introduced Adric, who my prepubescent homosexual brain was drawn to. Not in a humpy way, I just thought he was... beautiful.... but, I digress.
I agree that Bill Potts was woefully and almost criminally under rated. I loved her and Nardole and was very distraught that they didn't get longer on the show.
This essay was excellent work. Thank you for it
Thank you so much for sharing this, It really is so nice to hear how others found their way into becoming a Whovian, also thank you for Subscribing :)
1:20 Chris Chibnall season stories looked like they needed to be 4 or 6 part classic episodes with more fleshed out and expositioned plot intricacies. Or feature-length cinemas, considering the filmography. Would've be great!
This could probably have worked great to be honest..
What a lovely video essay! Thanks for sharing. The All Powerful Algorithm always prioritizes the negative stuff to drive “engagement,” so allow me to “engage” on something positive instead! I’m so excited for the new season (less than 2 weeks!) I love that RTD is once again redefining the show for us, with Ncuti’s incredible energy to invigorate it. My favorite episode so far is also Blink, but the Doctor isn’t really the focus of that one, so my other favorite is Tooth and Claw. That’s the episode where Ten was cemented as “my Doctor” when he said “Books! The best weapons in the world!”
Ohh how kind of you, Thank You!. Yeah Blink! is my favorite too love the angels and tooth and claw along with the unicorn and the wasp are just really good funny episodes if I am honest.
@@TardisTalks Love the Wasp and the Unicorn. (OK, also an AC fan since 14 yo).
I love the show and have been catching up on the older episodes. The 2005 revival invigorated the show but I stopped watching after the Flux episodes - I just couldn’t understand how it all fit together with everything from the previous season.
What a breath of fresh air this video is! Such array of positivity & optimism. I've been a DW fan since I was 4 years old back in 1996 & its always been my favourite show & had a special place in my heart & got me through the toughest of times. Its been brilliant for 60+ years now & has a bright future ahead. Long live Doctorwho! Great work!
Thank You so much for this comment. It has still got a bright future even if not everyone can see it yet hopefully they will.
4 yo in 1996?
It hurts.
I was 31.
I think my favorite scene is the 12th doctors regeneration because we get to see his character arc come to a close, we got an amazing speech and an amazing performance by Capaldi
Never Cruel or Cowardly :)

Great positive video. 🙂

lol, Dr who is a joke now! It’s a source of the alphabet people now, not realising you are alienating 95% of the population with is crap!
This is such a well-written essay. You summarise the magic of the series perfectly, the visual images are well chosen too. As a writer of fan fiction, I will add that Dr Who is a superb story-telling engine with one of the most unique characters in fiction. You can tell any story with Dr Who, it works in any medium.
Your essay gives us a reminder of what Dr Who gives us. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the essay.
Great vid
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in!
so happy to find a channel talking about the good things rather than harping on about the negatives
Thank you! Its hard to be really negitive about a show that has brought you so much joy through the years, I fully do understand that this show has done some undesireable things that most fans have turned their backs on it but to me it just lives on past that and continues to grow and expand much like the inside of the TARDIS does :)
You should watch harbo wholmes, Josh snares, DAVIS, or Mr. Tardis then.

Hell yeah man such a great video! Love to see the fandom uniting over this show's brilliance.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the support!
Incredible video! Keep spitting facts and keep it up man!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate your support.
Good work - I'm so used to negative Doctor Who videos I was waiting for the BUT.
A genuinely joyous appreciation of the greatest TV show - exactly how I've felt about it for 45 years.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the positive take on Doctor Who.
Considering the hysterical negativity of all the thumbnails of Who vids I see in my recommendations at the moment, it's nice to see a positive one.
It's always refreshing to see a positive spin on things!
Cause its evolve with the time and i want it to go forever
Doctor Who will go on for at minimum the next 2 years.. just have to wait and see how STRONG and STABLE this series becomes because I feel its going to be a BRRRILLIANT Series!
Thank you being so kind all mighty all knowing God help me and these people to better understand you
I appreciate your kind words and the sentiment behind them.
Best essay,
I appreciate your support.
The Classic series I would agree but the new series from 2010 onwards for the most part no, Moffat ruined the continuity and since then it keeps changing the continuity all the time and a lot of the scripts have been extremely weak.
2005-2010 was peak new who with a continuity that was consistent with the classic show.
It was the greatest TV show but IMO not any more, unfortunately.
Hopefully you catch some of the new season and it grabs you back in :)
I agree with the title. If we are talking classic who 1963-1989.
The rest is hit or miss. TC is garbage.
Edit: btw I do not have classic who nostalgia bias. I started with Nuwho and went back and checked out classic who. That’s how much better classic is.
Classic Who for the win for you! It's awesome that you've explored both eras and found your preference though NuWho isn't going to be a show everyone enjoys in fairness.
Thank you.. if you will allow me a lengthy comment with some explanation.
The entire Chibs run I was a Chibnall apologist. I tried defending it. I would say: “he’s still setting it up guys, wait for the payoff”. Then I realized there was no pay off, Chibs was just feeding us garbage.
Between Capaldi’s run and jodies run. I owned all of modern who and all but 4 stories from classic who. So I watched my dvd collection in order, from an unearthly child to twice upon a time. I was blown away by the sheer number of stories in a row (for classic who) that I would considered good/great/amazing. The longest streak was 30 stories (not episodes, full stories) 30 in a row for classic who. That I would consider good or better than good.
Nuwho, biggest streak was 5. 5 good stories in a row, before I hit a dud or worse a bad episode/story.
I am still collecting. Why stop now? I do own all of Jodies run. But Flux still sits in the plastic wrap. No desire to watch it, no desire to even open it. And I am the type of collector who watches special features. Still in no hurry over a year later, to watch Flux or even watch the special features for it.
I do seem to be (according to online) one of the only ones who likes Ncuti first episode. So we will see how it goes.
Edit: I still do enjoy both classic and Nuwho. But when I grab a Doctor who to watch from my collection. Easily 90% of the time, I am watching classic who.
Ohh I would recommend watching Flux it is by far the greatest of Chibnal and I think is was as good as we were going to get to be honest glad we have a missing season that was replaced by Flux tbh, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts in such detail. It's clear you have a deep passion for Doctor Who, both classic and modern.
@@TardisTalks I like Flux!
Doctor Who is similar to James Bond in that it can reflect changing times and settings but the central character should remain a constant. With the Doctor's character changing radically after Peter Capaldi and coupled with the poor writing, Doctor Who has taken a nosedive. Instead of a British institution and family show with cool, low budget sci-fi stories it is now yet another vehicle for activism, cultural destruction and historical revisionism. As Steven Moffat said to the BBC: "We've kind of got to tell a lie. We'll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn't have been, and we won't dwell on that. We'll say, 'To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world. By believing in it, we'll summon it forth'."
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Doctor Who. It's always great to hear diverse opinions on the show's direction. Although I do think a lot of people can forget that the show may appear to take place in our universe but what if it doesn't what if it takes place in a parallel much similar to our own with tiny adaptations and changes?
Moffat was wrong but not for the reasons you're saying, he's wrong because there were in fact black people back then so it isn't a lie anyway.
"it is now yet another vehicle for activism" you really wouldn't like the Pertwee era.
@@friendlyotaku9525 There have sometimes been interesting or significant black people who came to the UK from elsewhere in specific times and places. For example, John Blanke, Frederick Douglass, Cetshwayo and Olaudah Equiano or sailors in port towns. However, the country has always been overwhelmingly white and homogeneous until around the end of the 1940s onwards. The recent tendency is to make populations in medieval or historical settings look like current day London which looks completely ridiculous and out of place. This historical revisionism is what Steven Moffat is pushing.
@@friendlyotaku9525 Also, you cut off my full quote which was "activism, cultural destruction and historical revisionism".
@@georgebailey98 because a lot of those are just buzzwords
Love doctor who since the age of four and I read the novelization of the 3 doctors (yes a strange place to start).
When I was 7 and lost most of my sight in an expulsive haemorrhage, one thing which comforted me was a display in the hospital with a full sized Tardis! It was something I could still touch and somewhat see and a reminder that there was a world out there!
Watched most of the classic series, heard a lot of the big finish audios, and enjoyed the revival in 2005, with most of the 9th-11th Doctor's era.
At bad points in my life, Doctor who was always there, an escape into adventure, an examplee of what a man should be, and occasionally something I learned from.
However, over time, Doctor who has changed into something I don't recognize, too many messages, simplistic writing, constant belittling and break down the doctor himself (at least when the Doctor is a him), and waaaay too much smug lecturing.
Even though I've recognized the show in episodes that aired 20 years before I was born, to episodes I'd watch new each week, something just started to die over the last few years, from the end of Capaldy's era, through Witicker and now onto the 15th Doctor.
With seeing the 10th doctor castigated by Donna for the crime of being a man, , and all the ridiculous stuff with the 15th Doctor's antics, not to mention the out and out misandry and hatred towards the fans by the show's writers and actors,
I'm finally out!
I've been a card carrying whovian for most of my life, not anymore!
Right now the Daleks have the best idea of what to do with what Doctor who has become, Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
Hey, I totally get where you're coming from with feeling disconnected from the newer Doctor Who episodes. It's tough when a beloved show changes so much.
@@TardisTalks "change", isn't necessarily a good thing, and doctor who in particular has been very good at disregarding changes when it took a misstep.
The Third doctor's exile to earth was feeling stale? So that was revoked.
the down right abusive version of the 6th doctor from Twin Dilemma was softened; especially in Trial of a timelord and the audios to make him a much more likable character.
The comedic season 25 got a dose of seriousness in season 26.
The 8th doctor of the 96 tv movie who was half human, with the eye of harmony stuck in his Tardis got an almost total rewrite for the audio adventures!
Even in the new series, Russel T Davies decided to remove the religious zealot angle from the Daleks (something which I'm fairly sure he only added because of his own atheism).
And season 2 of Torchwood made the crew a lot more likable.
But With the First doctor seen in twice upon a time being a cartoonishly sexist parody of the real first Doctor (far more cartoonishly sexist than the actual character written in the sixties), and the forced insertion of anti trump allegories (I'm no fan of trump, but I don't need him parodied in Doctor who, it was clear that this change wasn't just a matter of story decision, but an actual change in intentions.
Doctor who was no longer a universe for telling stories, but just a vehicle for social messaging.
The past didn't matter because the past could be altered!
Story, wonder and characters are clearly no longer the top priority!
And enough is enough!
@@darktenor4967 GFY
Great video. But "not the best" of Love and Monsters? Aw, well. A marmite episode, that. It's my favorite of RTD's first two years. Such marvelousness. But to an adult fan reckoning his own reality with this love affair with a ridiculous hero? Sooo excellent. So wonderfully wise and so fun. And yet, sitting on people's faces. The trolls will enter fandom.
Anyway. Great video. Poetic and excellent
Thank you so much for your kind words! Love and Monsters may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it sure stirs up some passionate discussions.
There has never been a more unique premise for a series in the history of television. Some of the best sci-fi stories ever written for TV. Even Harlan Ellison loved it! Hopefully the new series will be well written again (the Chibnall years were pretty sad as far as scripts...Jodie was not to blame AT ALL for that...she gave 100 percent to her performance, but she sadly was just wrong for the part), but I won't be a double dumba** and declare the show "dead" or "too woke" before actually viewing the episodes. I have faith that RTD will give us a great ride once again. But hey, if you really want to be a moron and jump on the "Doctor Who's gone WOKE" train, there are always reruns of Roseanne and Mel Gibson movies you can watch. And I couldn't possibly choose just one favourite episode! But some of my very favourites do feature those nasty exterminating pepper pots.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Really can't wait to see what the new series has in store for us.
Jodie wasn't wrong for the part, I'll never understand people who say that. In fact she was very right for it!
@@friendlyotaku9525 Please don't misunderstand me. I have nothing but tremendous admiration for Jodie, and in a few episodes she really nailed it....
BUT, no she was not right for the part. Chibnall should have gone with someone like Tilda Swinton or Joanna Lumley. Jodie is a wonderful actress, but she just never seemed to get a good grasp on the character of The Doctor (with those few exceptions like Rosa, Resolution, or Power of The Doctor).
@@granvillesimmons6033 how did she never get a good grasp on the character? She embodied the Doctor and is beloved by many.
@@friendlyotaku9525 I love her too, but she approached the character as if it were pantomime. I admire her for trying SO hard, but she was just.....wrong for the part.
At it's core Dr Who is a story about exploration, kindness, adventure and the most importantly twerking, definitely the twerking at the darleks
Atleast spell them right if you're gonna be insulting.
@@DJ-LDits been in the news
Ncuti Gatwa Wants 'Doctor Who' To Feature A Dance Scene Where The Doctor "Destroys A Monster With Twerking"
And you're taking a news outlet (which with most news outlet have a goal of getting you to click on them.) Over the show itself which has yet to show this supposed claim.
Regardless of that I was referring to you calling the daleks darleks.
@@DJ-LD you claimed it was an insult, but it can hardly be considered an insult if it's what the main actor is asking for?
As for the daleks,, who care's about something trivial as a misspelling?
Yes Doctor Who is fantastic. Yes Flux was getting there. But an overtly gay twerking Doctor? C'mon....
The Doctor has never been straight. And when did the 15th Doctor ever twerk? and no his jokey comments do not count.
Why not?
not since Jodie Whittaker appeared..
Personally I do think Jodie had the potential to be an amazing doctor. It's just a shame the stories and writing wasn't up to par. Her given the chance with a great written story and arc and less companions.. it would be good.
@@TardisTalks Jessica Hynes would've made for a perfect female doctor, minus the woke writing and directing of course.
Oh I can see that she was great in her episodes "Human Nature & The Family of Blood" Who Knows? There is still that potential there for her to become a future incarnation though :) Who Knows?
Nah, it was getting there when Capaldi was in.
@@AbrasiousProductions "woke writing" Doctor Who has been woke since 1963.
Conservatives Twitter Users and UA-camrs are going to be crying so hard during Ncuti’s tenure as The Doctor
It’s going to be laughable
Classic dr who 1963: 1989 yes definitely is but not the garbage version that's on now that's still calling itself dr. who certainly isn't that can go take a flying leap off a cliff
Ohhhh. You mean rick and morty. Yeah, that isn't doctor who. It's weird how you confused the two.
Not since Jodie. It is a vessel for the message now. Not a show.
wrong
What message? To be kind, to have hope? What's your problem mate? Doctor Who has always been forthcoming, you just can't cope with that and that's a 'you-problem' not a 'Doctor-Who-problem'. I'm sorry for you. So sorry.
Agreed, and the viewing figures reflect it.
the show isn't even a corpse, it isn't even bones, it'd dust... doctor who died the second Jodie appeared on screen, the real doctor who ended after Capaldi.
@@The_Nordic_Doctor traitor.
This could be true on the transition from Matt Smith to Peter Capaldi, or even from him to 13 th doctor, but from the moment she started the role the only quality part of the episode was VFX, and even that not always, I watched season 11 and 12 fully, it lacks... Well it lacks everything. And season 13 actually killed me by the way when it was releasing, the only thing I didn't watch of NewWho, well except spinoffs but that is in progress, 60th wasn't as bad as most people think of them, that was old doctor who, sorta, we had a bunch of mystery boxes for the future, and then.... Christmas special, everything was put back into dust, story is downright boring, no real threat, the villain is defeated using some weird out of place thing, WHY ARE THEY SINGING, WHY DO YOU RUB IT IN THE FACE THAT DOCTOR IS GAY NOW, WHY... this list goes on. For season 14, I will watch it probably, die to mystery boxes, plus it can't be as bad as season 11-13, you have to really try, but I am semi excited for 73 yards, and the final which has fourth wall breaks. But also, as RTD confirmed, in his mind it is no longer sci-fi, it is magical world. Just how can you defend it with "show needs to change"? For who? Like the first ever dalek episode broadcast was watched more than anything now, and numbers are lowering, people returned a bit for Tennant and that's it.
It's now shit. End of.
Agreed!
Ditto
no.
yes
@@markkaminski4496 you're just wrong.
But it doesn't stand the test of time. It has degraded into preachy social justice propaganda, where 'the message' is more important than the story or the adventure. I'm 63 years old and grew up watching Dr Who and was excited when it was reborn in 2005. To my amazement I could still enjoy the fun at the time. I can no longer relate to these new 'woke' doctors and the declining viewership bears that out.
The whole joy of the doctor was his, "right place, right tme...give or take" was he as a Bohemian who fixed things because it was the right thing to do.
Not "The chosen one" aka 'Timeless Children'.
Just because different incarnations are of different genders and races doesn’t automatically make them ‘woke’ for example regardless of the writing and acting it wasn’t the fact that 13 was a female incarnation that defined her character it was the principles of The Doctor as an idea that was one of the few things that Whittaker and Chibnall managed to keep relatively intact and it’s not the fact that the fugitive and 15 incarnations are of a different race means that’s ALL that defines their character either, having every incarnation be the same race and gender to me limits the scope of who the character can be
Just to let you know ow that woke means being aware of minorities and the latest doctors that you could even consider “woke” is ncuti gatwa but he’s just black and that shouldn’t be judged for him being a doctor and Whittakker who is a woman which barely changes anything about the doctor apart from their appearance
Stupid no it haven't. Dr who have always preached about social justice and issues. Since the start. Stop reaching cause u aren't even a fan of the show. I dare u to show examples
@@hellacoorinna9995dummy the timeless child isn't about the chosen one or bs. Stop reaching
yeah it did reign supreme but woke and rubbish aliens designs ruined it
very true..
It's been "woke" since 1963!
@@friendlyotaku9525 lol sure please send an example i waiting hahah
I appreciate your perspective on the alien designs and direction of the show itself, It's interesting to see how different elements can impact the viewers overall experience.
@@user-vf2mi7sz5f a third doctor story had the dr discussing with a companion of how to refer to an alien species/ one being/entity, the lines had a mention of is the being a she ora he or an it, that's pronouns and there's more examples of politically progressive ideals being showcased in classic who stories, even in the era of the1st doctor
It was. But now it's just not. It's gotten so bad that I think it's unwatchable now
It was one of the greatest shows of all.time...but...alas ....no more .... diversity woke gender ...has unfortunately brought it to a low....where ...im afraid ...it will struggle to escape from.....rip the true doctors
Oh no. The show that's been 'woke' since it's inception is now woke? Perish the thought. Oh dear me, what shall I, the viewer of this show, shall ever do?
Oh nooooooo.
@DJ-LD don't be so disingenuous. The shows gone to sh*t.
It hasn't always been "woke" its always been inclusive. There is a big difference
Awful, truly awful.
I appreciate your feedback. Is there anything specific that you didn't like about my video?
