You are doing the right thing getting off Twitter/X. You are a great doctor who fan and an amazing person. You do not deserve any of the abuse or attacks. You do whatever makes you feel happy and healthy. Take all the time you need with your family, your work or your YT channel.
I'm glad you are doing okay. I've always been a fairly quiet Twitter user, but the state of the Dr Who fandom on there during the last few months has really put me off using it. I mean it's not just Dr Who, it's everything on there. Elon really has fucked that place up. I am done with the dumpster fire hellhole. I came out as trans last summer and I was a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community online. I actually found myself being doxxed and got several threatening emails because of it. A lot of those threats came from so-called Dr Who fans on Twitter. This has caused a great deal of stress and impacted my mental health terribly. Since then I've become much quieter online. I'm doing much better now I am not a part of the hateful discussions online. I wish you all the best mate. Love your content.
I can't say how sorry I am for the worldwide anti-trans hate movements that are currently sweeping seemingly everywhere. I wish you the best, I hope you flurish & stay safe
I am a boring average straight white man. But please answer me, how does a show about never being cowardly, never being crewl and to kind to people have that many hate filled fools who hate you for being slightly different . Seriously makes my head hurt.
Twitter has been a sewer for years. I certainly don't regret leaving it. I hope your 25 proves a brilliant year for you in health and wealth. I don't comment on many of your vids but I do watch a lot. Please continue with your good and appreciated work. 👏
The balance between UA-cam and life outside of the channel is a difficult one to get right - Ive recently had to take a brief hiatus and this is one of the contributing reasons. Rest assured that whenever you upload, we will be here to enjoy and appreciate your content
Happy to hear you're doing OK! Fingers crossed the jobs don't dry up completely, but looing forward to seeing your viewpoint and reviews for the remaining TV eps so far!
I’m exactly the same with having stuff I announced I wanted to do in 2024 (restart my own monthly live stream, and restart the Red Dwarf podcast) which I didn’t manage to get done.
Congratulations on 15 years! What an achievement. I hope 2025 is fantastic for you. Twitter/X is just a cesspit that you do well to steer clear of. I came off Twitter, Fb etc in 2024 and it’s been hugely beneficial to my mental health and overall wellbeing. Big love to you and Mrs Tardis ❤
When you mentioned Mr Beast it occurred to me that I don't know what that guy's channel is even about. I know who he is and that he's the most subbed channel on YT. But I've never actually watched him. I assume he's a gaming channel because you kind of have to be either that or a record label, to be the most subbed channel. But I don't know what he does.
Since you mentioned your ADHD, as an autistic person myself (Asperger’s to be specific), I think it would be great to share your experience and how your unique way of thinking can see potential neurodiverse representation in Doctor Who especially how many incarnations are very neuro-coded in the revived series ones like 10, 11 and 13. I just think it’s a great talking point as we’re in stage where media is trying to display a positive outlook for autistic people who struggle to socialise and adapt to modern society and potential misguided by certain internet platforms if you know what I’m talking about.
Congratulations on your house - the system is very biased against the self-employed so you deserve a medal for getting through it. Also well done for quasi-exiting Twitter - life is too short to be in a verbal digital gladiatorial riot. I have only recently found your channel and the massive effort you have put into your work is awesome. I was born the month before Doctor Who started, but my family only got a TV in 1970, so Pertwee was my Doctor and I am lucky in my old age to be able watch a lot of stuff I missed. The re-boot of Who in 2005 which we owe to the persistent Who support of the gay community (not just RTD) was very exciting. I tailed off watching during the Chibnall era and didn't like the Child of Time twist, but thanks to your reviews and insight I am getting some of the DVDs to give elements of it a go. So thanks for that. I am not great on cash at the moment but will try to become one of your Patreon supporters.
I hope 2025 does better for you than last year Will. Sorry to hear about the amount of abuse you got recently on Twitter. If I’m allowed to ask, what exactly did you say about Joy to the World that got you so much backlash and hate that made you decide to quit Twitter? I thought the special was good (not great) but surely there must have been some kind of misunderstanding and accident. If you don’t want to, I understand if it’s too much. You made a good choice leaving as while I thankfully don’t use that cesspool filled with racists, homophobes, transphobes and reactionary bigots of the highest order, I have heard stories of what has become of it recently thanks to Elon.
I don't do social media at all. So it's all a mystery to me, but as I understand it you posted essentially saying you didn't dig joy to the world and people went mad wishing you death? I mean seriously? I genuinely don't get it. I mean I loved joy to the world, but I don't feel the need to get angry at you! It's crazy. I don't hear allot of this until a video like this and then It just blows my mind. You do great stuff, I don't agree with you like 60% of the time (Moffat era is my fave) but I like and appreciate your comments and views. They are well thought out, funny and intelligent. Even if you are wrong hahaha. Good luck to 2025.
I think you made the right choice to leave Twitter. In my opinion I think the Doctor Who community is long overdue for a call out on its consistent inappropriate behaviour and inability to seperate the show and people’s opinions from reality.
(In regards to Twitter) It continues to baffle me how Doctor Who fans can be so bigoted and hateful sometimes...Have they not watched the show they're claiming to be fans of?!? Anyway, looking forward to more Mr TARDIS in 2025!
@ Not at all. Negative comments don’t have to be hateful. I have plenty of negative thoughts about the state of the show, but I’m never hateful towards people in our community
Doesn't a high number of non-subscribed viewers actually mean the opposite of "the algorithm is burying me"? It means UA-cam is recommending your video to people outside of your usual base a lot. Obviously more subscribers is always better regardless.
It would be interesting to me if you talked a bit about your ADHD treatment. My diagnosis is also recent and would love to know how that’s working for you.
The problem is most definately with Twitter itself. Welcome to the new fascist age. If only everyone would watch Doctor Who because they have had dozens of stories warning people about what is happening right now :/ I was very optimistic but now, I can only hope that brighter minds prevail before too much unnecessary suffering has occurred.
Sure, there are vile people on Twitter, but that site just brings out the worst in *everyone* - and not just since Elon's takeover; this was always one of its worst features. I watched people that I've known (offline) for YEARS engaging in bad faith snark/dogpiling/ragebaiting on their own accounts, and I would never have guessed they had it in them. And even though Bluesky is almost a carbon copy of Twitter, I find it much nicer and less exhausting to be there. For now, at least. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess.
Would like to go to Gallifrey One myself but I'm on the other side of the country unfortunately. Also have you ever considered using an editor for some of your videos?
Sorry to hear what has been happening, the reaction to moderate takes, not even disliking the episode just middling responses, on twitter and tumblr were toxic even without the platform and targets. I look forward to more edited/prerecorded videos from you and good luck with everything!
Have you considered BlueSky as an alternative to the platform formerly known as twitter? So far it is much less vitriolic, and the moderators seem to be doing a good job of getting rid of the trolls.
You bringing up the lighting in there made me realize how much the yellow light reflecting off the walls contrasts with the blue light (I presume, from the laptop screen) reflecting off you. The navy sweater probably isn't helping that lol. 😅
It's not as bad during the day because I'm directly facing a window which gets good sunlight, but I recorded this at night-time which probably didn't help, aha.
I thought 2024 was a great year for you, I really enjoyed your videos :) Looking forward to 2025 🎉 Congratulations on your house buy, that shit isn't easy for our generation I definitely think you're making the right decision stepping back from Twitter / X, it was never a nice website but now it's truly Elon Musk's propaganda tool i'm seeing a lot of people decide any positives they still get from the platform is no longer worth it People's mental health is really going through it atm for all kinds of reasons and so much of social media only makes it worse
Everyone is leaving X Twitter or whatever Elon wants to call it. Come Jan 20th 2025 I will be out too from there. I use Facebook a lot more now than I have ever done.
You are doing the right thing getting off Twitter/X. You are a great doctor who fan and an amazing person. You do not deserve any of the abuse or attacks. You do whatever makes you feel happy and healthy. Take all the time you need with your family, your work or your YT channel.
Just think of the abuse anybody got if they were a 13th fan. I think anybody leaving twittex thinking abuse is a recent thing is a bit naive.
Just feel it's important to say that the ad I got before this video started with 'No, no new year new me' and that felt apt
2:30 I had the EXACT same situation when I tried to buy a house, it was just so dragged out because I’m a UA-camr
Chippy???
I'm glad you are doing okay. I've always been a fairly quiet Twitter user, but the state of the Dr Who fandom on there during the last few months has really put me off using it.

@@sbi168that's the far right for you - they never get the point
You are my favorite Doctor Who critic. Your work is very, very much appreciated.
4:40 A masterclass shot in cinematography
"But first, let me back up-"
Glad to know you're doing okay, here's to a great 2025! Looking forward to more fun Who content soon :)

Second Channel you say...
Could this be the return of Trilbee Reviews?? 😮
I hope he does more Wallace and Gromit Reviews!!!
He should bring it back & make a 3+ hour review/rant on the amazing Spider-Man 2. It’ll just be like the old days.
I’m exactly the same with having stuff I announced I wanted to do in 2024 (restart my own monthly live stream, and restart the Red Dwarf podcast) which I didn’t manage to get done.
I don't wanna be THAT guy, but I feel like The Giggle may have actually been onto something with how ugly twitter gets, lol
Say what you will about RTD but his social commentary has always been on point.
Congratulations on 15 years! What an achievement. I hope 2025 is fantastic for you. Twitter/X is just a cesspit that you do well to steer clear of. I came off Twitter, Fb etc in 2024 and it’s been hugely beneficial to my mental health and overall wellbeing. Big love to you and Mrs Tardis ❤

He does stupid challenges. I'd say 95% of his audience are kids. You ain't missing a thing.

Ive waited patiently for more reviews and ill keep doing so! You deliver nothing but the best
Happy new year, always love your videos.

So do negative reactions automatically equate to hateful and or bigoted?
@ Not at all. Negative comments don’t have to be hateful. I have plenty of negative thoughts about the state of the show, but I’m never hateful towards people in our community
17:50, you made a good choice for doing that. You are an amazing doctor who fan and you don't deserve it 😃👍.
I hope your 2025 is amazing! When Big Finish Drops 13 Era audios.... OH! I CAN NOT WAIT!
Nothing on Neil Gaiman just yet?
Doesn't a high number of non-subscribed viewers actually mean the opposite of "the algorithm is burying me"? It means UA-cam is recommending your video to people outside of your usual base a lot. Obviously more subscribers is always better regardless.
as someone who doesn't work you live, I much prefer the recorded reviews to the vod reviews

Don't worry about rushing shit out, your takes are clearly too good for the internet to handle so you're clearly worth waiting to hear from
Yes not using social media is now becoming a very sensible poach at this point.
I got bored listening to me me me after 3mins so you’ve moved into a property?
Wait, so you clicked on an update video...and got bored of me talking about my updates?
What were you expecting?
Sure, there are vile people on Twitter, but that site just brings out the worst in *everyone* - and not just since Elon's takeover; this was always one of its worst features. I watched people that I've known (offline) for YEARS engaging in bad faith snark/dogpiling/ragebaiting on their own accounts, and I would never have guessed they had it in them.

11:58 I think elevenlabs may have a service like that but it's of course AI so you never know whether it gets nicked and used to train an AI.
Would like to go to Gallifrey One myself but I'm on the other side of the country unfortunately.
Also have you ever considered using an editor for some of your videos?

is that the season 25 collection i see

He’s on Bluesky
@@BH-98So he is. Don't know why I didn't just search for MrTardis over there. Thanks!
You bringing up the lighting in there made me realize how much the yellow light reflecting off the walls contrasts with the blue light (I presume, from the laptop screen) reflecting off you.
The navy sweater probably isn't helping that lol. 😅

@MrTARDIS Ah. Yeah, that'll do it! 😂😅
whooverville, you say? I'm the FP with the bunny hat haha
Presumably the Empire of Death review will just be 10 minutes of screaming (justifiably)
You have my support. Sending love and best wishes ❤️❤️➕🔷
new year new.... Faction Paradox review?
In other words, doctor who is not what it ones was and I was cheering on it's ruination.
I thought 2024 was a great year for you, I really enjoyed your videos :) Looking forward to 2025 🎉
Congratulations on your house buy, that shit isn't easy for our generation
I definitely think you're making the right decision stepping back from Twitter / X, it was never a nice website but now it's truly Elon Musk's propaganda tool i'm seeing a lot of people decide any positives they still get from the platform is no longer worth it
People's mental health is really going through it atm for all kinds of reasons and so much of social media only makes it worse
More round things
I hope you don’t work on shows like the mask singer I hate that show lol
Everyone is leaving X Twitter or whatever Elon wants to call it. Come Jan 20th 2025 I will be out too from there. I use Facebook a lot more now than I have ever done.
The Christmas Special was far from mid, and I enjoyed it more than the previous one, which was very cringe with the singing.
Subscribe to his Patreon so he can finally afford a proper PC dammit! :P
