3:15 Sadly, Hartnell's final episode no longer exists. It was junked by the BBC to make room in their archives.

The reason the music in this episode is so amazing and full of call-backs is because it was the last one scored by Murray Gold: the composer responsible for the soundtracks of every season since 2005. I really like the detail that the song "I am the Doctor" (Matt Smith's main theme) starts playing right after the first Doctor says those exact words.
I will always remember when The Doctor was Peter Capaldi. He was my Doctor, he was my professor, he was my warrior, he was my hero, and I didn't want him to go.
Small thing that's easy to miss: The Tardis actually disconnects the panel that the Doctor is hanging onto. The Tardis ejects the Doctor, in order to save her life. The Tardis is the best companion.
Brilliant move to have the Christmas Armistice be an actual plot point; from what I've read, it wasn't until Two's run that the Doctor saw the human race as beings worth protecting. Having One see the truce just before he regenerates is the perfect way to set that in motion, even if it's retroactive.
Also the end of Murray Gold doing the music, and Steven Moffat as showrunner, so everybody was really giving it their all for this 3 parter. The soundtrack of this episode especially, god. I’m so mad they haven’t released the series 10 soundtrack officially yet
Moffat had no idea Jodie was going to be The Doctor when the two-parter finale was written, the "we can only hope" line was basically him asking for it, but he had no say in who was going to be cast, only the next showrunner, Chris Chibnall had any say really.
I loved how much Capaldi's Doctor developed (at least compared to some of the other Doctors) sometimes in noticeably drastic ways and sometimes in very subtle ways. My personal favorite development Capaldi had was his views on hugs. When he 1st starts out he says that he's not a hugger to Clara, but by the end of his Era he was definitely a hugger and valued being close to his Companions, as we see with him and Bill and Nardole.
Just came here from a regeneration scene compilation, and I'm so glad the first thing you mentioned was Jodie's appearance from Black Mirror when the camera panned up to show her face.
Just to let you know when the First Doctor says to Bill ‘you’re looking for a jolly good smacked bottom’ it was a call back to when he said that to his granddaughter Susan in the classic series, a time when that was perfectly innocent thing to say without anyone looking for double meanings! I just love 12’s face when he realises all his memories were back, it was so full of joy! The captain is revealed to be the grandfather of Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart ( although some claim it was his great uncle). The scene where the Doctor and the Captain salute each other is a call back to when the Doctor saluted the Brigadier as a Cyberman. The only thing I wish they had done was have River appear to say goodbye to her husband 😭
Luckilly, we get more of David Bradley as the 1st Doctor in the BF Audios along with the cast who played in the Adventue in Space and time movie as Susan, Ian and Barbara..and a couple added Surprises! You gotta watch "The 10th planet" to really get the feel of where the 1st Doctor was coming from in the begining of the ep! The Lethbridge-Stewarts...What a Family!
I like Jodie and the crew, but I really don't like the writing of the latest seasons, and I wish they had earned the moniker of family first like the ponds and 11
@Gues Who im certainly not sticking around, maybe for the first ep or 2, but it never changes its just bad all the way, then of course falls of a cliff in that final episode
Great work my friend. I miss Peter Capaldi. He is my Doctor. He is a really good person. If you haven't checked him out on UA-cam you should see how great he is with fans of the show. He appears in wedding videos, consoles children on the loss of loved ones and is generally as kind as you would expect 12 to be. What a joy to see him be great in the role he was born to play!
Jenna was filmed in front of a green screen nowhere near the set as she was filming Queen Victoria at the time. Bringing back companions is a decades old tradition.
@@theabomination5894 That one got the edge for me, too. Smith was the only one, that fit the fairytale vibe of the episode, they really nailed the re-interpretation of the three ghosts, Dumbledore was amazing, and Abigail's Song is up there with my favorite music pieces of the show. We had a lot of episodes happening on Christmas, but ACC excels at getting you in the mood for the holidays :)
The Christmas armistice moment makes me tear up every time knowing that it’s based on an actual thing that happened in that war. It’s such an amazing if heartbreaking little piece of real history
I don't think the show will make it to an anniversary with the way she screwed it up there is nowhere to go. Only hope is a retcon and Capaldi regenerates again with a new show runner.
such a wonderfully written, performed and executed episode - and a beautiful farewell to a great doctor. the idea of bringing mr david bradley back in his extraordinary incarnation of the first - and original, of course - doctor was truly inspired. for devotees of our beloved time-traveller there are so many fond farewells here - not only sir peter but sir steven of moffat, sir murray of gold and ms rachel talalay the episode's director - the end of an era.
Fun fact. Clara was supposed to be in the full episode instead of Bill. But due to Jennas schedule she couldn’t commit to it, so she just phoned in with a green screen.
I got back into dr who with Capaldi and he'll always be my doctor. I met him at FanExpo and he's the sweetest person. I look forward to your reactions to Jodie!
Capaldi had a lot of hate thrown at him and honestly he was an underrated Doctor. If people hadn’t been so harsh I wonder if he’d have been down for another season. Good luck with 13. As a doctor she’s just fine but the rest leaves a lot to be desired
He was definitely not underrated. In fact I hardly saw any hate towards capaldi during his run. Most people when a doctor regenerates hate that doctor until the end.
He was very much THEE doctor, he fit the doctor role so well, instantly you could see he was the doctor in tone and the calibre of actor to both classic and modern who... But his issues were in story, they just didn't work out script wise (with a few exceptions) and it impacts his portrayal in long term.. but cos he is such a good actor he pushed alot of bad scripts along and made what he could work.. however contrast this with current who, we are seeing a perfect storm of bad everything, Jodie doesn't fit the role, very mis casted, no real depth, very agenda driven and eye rolling, she can't carry the bad stories like capaldi, and the series is suffering as a result.. plus the really bad direction it is going in.. I miss the days of season 4/season 5.. brilliant / creative and relevant..
I do want to point out my one criticism of the writting for the episode, that the first Doctor/William Hartnell wasnt portrayed as a sexist or anything like the jokes made in this episode it was a choice made to bring out humor but i don't recall any line the first doctor made that would be taken as sexist or anything like that he did use the line on the smack bottom for Susan but that was different context and it was his granddaughter
Exactly, also Moffat disliked his entire era. He wasn't exactly going to be objective when portraying the 1st Doctor. What makes it even worse is the beginning where it transitions from original footage (from The Tenth Planet) to a recreation; giving a false authenticity to his episode.
Cry every damn time. You woud think I'd become emotionally immune at some point. Nope. "Always try to be nice but never fail to be kind." - The whole speech. It's something the world really needs right now.
When Capaldi played the doctor I thought he was okay just a bit old and boring but now I look back on him and omg he’s like a lonely Legend Doctor and such a cool badass.
I’ve been waiting for this! This episode is also the end of Murray Gold as composer who has been writing the music since Christopher Eccleston. That’s why he re-uses a lot of old themes from the Tennant era. It really does feel like the end of an era.
“Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.” I swear, this line changed my brain chemistry in a way that’ll stick with me forever. I love it so so much. The delivery, the writing, I don’t even care how drawn out the whole thing is, it’s just got so much good in it.
Thanks so much Fairwhale for the fun WHO reactions. Been with you since S1E3 and have enjoyed every moment. Look forward to seeing you wirh future reactions to new stuff.
Great reaction, CAPALDIs pre regeneration speech was written and delivered brilliantly, goodbye best Doctor ever, this is my favorite Christmas special easily
I think you'd really like "The Tenth Planet" (Hartnell's last story). Unfortunately only the soundtrack of the final ep exists, so video releases have presented it with tele snaps or animation. Luckily the regeneration sequence has survived - and it's beautiful. Also, I'll hold your hand through what's coming, bruv.
I have to say, I am genuinely loving how you're obviously watching Who completely cold, and somehow managing to avoid all the stuff like knowing the end-twist of this. That must take one Hell of a lot of Spoiler-avoiding discipline.
The score this episode was a send-off to Murray Gold, who had written the score since Series 1 in 2005. Some of his hest tracks were there, including the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctor's themes, Clara's theme, Vale, and The Shepherd's Boy
This is probably my favourite regeneration episode. God I miss Capaldi and Moffat. They were the best for me. There's so many things in this episode that goes over people's heads!
Originally the Doctor was meant to regenerate at the end of the previous story but the new show runnwr had no Christmas special ready with 13 and Moffat wrote this to keep the tradition going. But we haven't had one since.
@@michaelkenner3289 not exactly. We got one. We didn't get a seasonal special at all over the "holidays" for 2019/2020. We will get one this Christmas/New Year's. Then we are entering into the Corvideo zone.
This is my first day on your channel and I love these! I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Tennant and Smith both star as The Doctor in a story each from The Sarah Jane Adventures spin off series and Capaldi is in the first episode of Class. You might want to check them out :)
Watching this episode in local cinema with others was a great joy. A lot of laughs at the jokes at the right time and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Whovians reunited and having a good time. What more can one wish for?
Capaldi's final lines were so incredibly meta as he was saying goodbye to the role he had spent his entire life persuing and at the same time telling Jodi and all future doctors what the most important things are.
ok for you who dont understand about the football thing in the seen @18:14 we can not forget our history or the men who died to save us The Christmas truce (German: Weihnachtsfrieden; French: Trêve de Noël) was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front of the First World War around Christmas 1914. The truce occurred only five months into the war. Hostilities had lulled as leadership on both sides reconsidered their strategies following the stalemate of the Race to the Sea and the indecisive result of the First Battle of Ypres. In the week leading up to 25 December, French, German, and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. Men played games of football with one another, creating one of the most memorable images of the truce.[1] Hostilities continued in some sectors, while in others the sides settled on little more than arrangements to recover bodies.
IIRC This happened coz peter and Steven were at a convention and someone asked Steven which doctor he would like to have written, Stephen said “the first doctor but obviously William Hartnell isn’t alive” and Peter said “you could use David Bradley” and a great episode was born...
12:15 The TARDIS set here is actually the one they built for An Adventure in Space and Time in 2013, the documentary they did for the 50th anniversary. The original was WAY cheaper and shoddy.
UGHHHHH I'M CRYING NOW!!! I GOT PASSED THIS YEARS AGO, AND THIS (amazing) REACTION GOT ME FEELING SHIT AGAIN! In all seriousness, great reaction to a great sendoff to my favorite Doctor, and can't wait to see your thoughts on the 13 era. Granted, I personally felt Series 12 is where the more react-worthy stuff is, but curious to see your thoughts on Series 11.
The Christmas truce of 1914 is my favorite history story. I'm so glad they were able to address it in the show. So few people know about that amazing day
“Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind. Doctor, I let you go.” capaldi and moffat’s final love letter to the show, this episode never fails to bring me to tears. it’s like the emotional epilogue to the big finale of WEAT/TDF, giving 12 the closure he needed and absolutely deserved. so many things come full circle, regardless of my opinion on the current era i believe this could have ended the whole show. beautifully poetic, a lovely, subtle sendoff about 12’s character development and suicidal tendencies, which isn’t spoken about enough. the final scenes on the battlefield wrap up his era and character perfectly, as the man who hated soldiers now alone on an empty battlefield. the fact he gets his memories of clara back is everything and his regeneration speech is pitch perfect, i’ll never let 12 go. he really had such a complex and beautiful character arc, you can really see how far he has come here. 12 is and always will be my doctor
I was crying at Capaldi’s speech at the end. I always cry when the Doctor regenerates. It’s always so sad and hard but also a good reminder that you have to move on. I’m curious about his reaction to season 11 and 12 since both seasons have caused a lot of controversy amongst their audiences
12 at the start: "I don't think I'm a hugging person anymore."
12 in the end: "Cuddle."
Yeah, I noticed that this time :)
And when they were teleported away, he looked like a kicked puppy.
he began his life hating hugs and he didn’t want his final hug to end. now that’s character development
Out of all modern day doctors he has the best character development imo
Afraid to say that's nardole, you can literally see his mouth move as he says it and he does the exact same thing in 'Oxygen' , but it would be a nice thought!
"I'm standing right here and you can't even see me." 12 to Clara, outside the Tardis, at the start of his run.
"You're looking right at me and you don't even know I'm here." Bill to 12, outside the Tardis, at the end of his run.
Holy shit... I never noticed that.
You can’t see me can you? You look at me, and you.... can’t see me. Any idea what that’s like?
I noticed that too. Nice callback.
I was just about to make this comment! lol
Ikr, it all comes full circles, this is why I love thise show
If anyone is interested in this, the first thing the German soldier said was "just leave me behind" and when they returned he said "that's crazy".
I love how the running joke about the Doctor's hatred for pears all started because of a deleted scene that not everyone knows about.
That wasn't a deleted scene, that was just Tennant screwing around knowing that they just needed footage of him talking to speed up
@@SorchaSublime you’re wrong it was a reference to the original novel that episode was based on. Glad to educate the uneducated

Just to let you know when the First Doctor says to Bill ‘you’re looking for a jolly good smacked bottom’ it was a call back to when he said that to his granddaughter Susan in the classic series, a time when that was perfectly innocent thing to say without anyone looking for double meanings!
I just love 12’s face when he realises all his memories were back, it was so full of joy!
The captain is revealed to be the grandfather of Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart ( although some claim it was his great uncle). The scene where the Doctor and the Captain salute each other is a call back to when the Doctor saluted the Brigadier as a Cyberman. The only thing I wish they had done was have River appear to say goodbye to her husband 😭
Luckilly, we get more of David Bradley as the 1st Doctor in the BF Audios along with the cast who played in the Adventue in Space and time movie as Susan, Ian and Barbara..and a couple added Surprises!
You gotta watch "The 10th planet" to really get the feel of where the 1st Doctor was coming from in the begining of the ep!
The Lethbridge-Stewarts...What a Family!
unpopular opinion: i really like jodie as the doctor // popular opinion: peter capaldi made such a unique doctor and is one of my favorites
I like Jodie and the crew, but I really don't like the writing of the latest seasons, and I wish they had earned the moniker of family first like the ponds and 11
I liked Jodie as the doctor but the writing is some desperate hellspawn.
You could have the best actor/actress in the world and Chibnall will still manage to make them look terrible.
ROBBY D Music sameee
Nick Barnes chibnall is all grand ideas, incredibly bad execution and jodies seasons deserve a rewrite from someone better.
And now we non patreon fans must wait to see how he reacted to Jodie’s first full episode.
And s11 and 12 in general, I'm very excited for some episodes!
@@sonnykingcomposer God, considering how he reacted to Bill's end, Haunting of Villa Diodati is going to be BRUTAL.
@@aaaa-eb6pi oooh yeah
@Gues Who im certainly not sticking around, maybe for the first ep or 2, but it never changes its just bad all the way, then of course falls of a cliff in that final episode
Can't wait for him to react to series 11 there are some great episodes coming up and then it gets even better in series 12.
Saddest scene was when the ring dropped because that’s when you know twelves gone for good
I feel the FRESH PAIN of Capaldi leaving. What a legend his Doctor was.
Great work my friend. I miss Peter Capaldi. He is my Doctor. He is a really good person. If you haven't checked him out on UA-cam you should see how great he is with fans of the show. He appears in wedding videos, consoles children on the loss of loved ones and is generally as kind as you would expect 12 to be. What a joy to see him be great in the role he was born to play!
Jenna was filmed in front of a green screen nowhere near the set as she was filming Queen Victoria at the time. Bringing back companions is a decades old tradition.
A real rollercoaster of emotions.
"one more regeneration won't kill anyone" ...
that's debatable ...
I feel that overall, Capaldi's Christmas Specials were better than Tennent's or Smith's.
I totally agree.
A Christmas carol was amazing to me
Totally agree. The others had maybe one good X-mas episode apiece. Capaldi had four great ones.
@@theabomination5894 It was Smith's best one. The Snowman was pretty good. Time of the Doctor SUCKS except the regeneration.
@@theabomination5894 That one got the edge for me, too.
Smith was the only one, that fit the fairytale vibe of the episode, they really nailed the re-interpretation of the three ghosts, Dumbledore was amazing, and Abigail's Song is up there with my favorite music pieces of the show.
We had a lot of episodes happening on Christmas, but ACC excels at getting you in the mood for the holidays :)
The Christmas armistice moment makes me tear up every time knowing that it’s based on an actual thing that happened in that war. It’s such an amazing if heartbreaking little piece of real history
One last 'It's me, Nardy!'..
Calpaldi was my Doctor. He was the reason I got into Who. Hopefully he comes back in an anniversary episode.
I don't think the show will make it to an anniversary with the way she screwed it up there is nowhere to go. Only hope is a retcon and Capaldi regenerates again with a new show runner.
Also it’s the end of the Moffat Era Who has been showrunner since Series 5. So Series 11 feels very different.
I REALLY do not like season 11 and 12
It still destroys me every time when Clara shows up.
such a wonderfully written, performed and executed episode - and a beautiful farewell to a great doctor. the idea of bringing mr david bradley back in his extraordinary incarnation of the first - and original, of course - doctor was truly inspired. for devotees of our beloved time-traveller there are so many fond farewells here - not only sir peter but sir steven of moffat, sir murray of gold and ms rachel talalay the episode's director - the end of an era.
Bye-bye to my favourite Doctor.
The regeneration is one of my favourite scenes, the speech and score are so good!
3:12 "i wish i watched that episide" man so do i lol we all wish we could
Fun fact. Clara was supposed to be in the full episode instead of Bill. But due to Jennas schedule she couldn’t commit to it, so she just phoned in with a green screen.
The doctors face when he sees and remembers Clara is everything 🥺 you can just see how much Clara means to him 🖤 I miss them.
i love how he gets that big smile just for clara, i miss those two endlessly
Murray Gold: Greatest Hits alongside Moffat/Capaldi's Love Letter the show. I love this episode even though I lost my favourite Doctor.
I got back into dr who with Capaldi and he'll always be my doctor. I met him at FanExpo and he's the sweetest person. I look forward to your reactions to Jodie!
Capaldi had a lot of hate thrown at him and honestly he was an underrated Doctor. If people hadn’t been so harsh I wonder if he’d have been down for another season. Good luck with 13. As a doctor she’s just fine but the rest leaves a lot to be desired
He was definitely not underrated. In fact I hardly saw any hate towards capaldi during his run. Most people when a doctor regenerates hate that doctor until the end.
He was very much THEE doctor, he fit the doctor role so well, instantly you could see he was the doctor in tone and the calibre of actor to both classic and modern who... But his issues were in story, they just didn't work out script wise (with a few exceptions) and it impacts his portrayal in long term.. but cos he is such a good actor he pushed alot of bad scripts along and made what he could work.. however contrast this with current who, we are seeing a perfect storm of bad everything, Jodie doesn't fit the role, very mis casted, no real depth, very agenda driven and eye rolling, she can't carry the bad stories like capaldi, and the series is suffering as a result.. plus the really bad direction it is going in.. I miss the days of season 4/season 5.. brilliant / creative and relevant..
Oof Boi how what looks?
Capaldi is an incredible actor, I love his performance in this
I do want to point out my one criticism of the writting for the episode, that the first Doctor/William Hartnell wasnt portrayed as a sexist or anything like the jokes made in this episode it was a choice made to bring out humor but i don't recall any line the first doctor made that would be taken as sexist or anything like that he did use the line on the smack bottom for Susan but that was different context and it was his granddaughter
Exactly, also Moffat disliked his entire era. He wasn't exactly going to be objective when portraying the 1st Doctor. What makes it even worse is the beginning where it transitions from original footage (from The Tenth Planet) to a recreation; giving a false authenticity to his episode.
Cry every damn time. You woud think I'd become emotionally immune at some point. Nope.
"Always try to be nice but never fail to be kind." - The whole speech. It's something the world really needs right now.
When Capaldi played the doctor I thought he was okay just a bit old and boring but now I look back on him and omg he’s like a lonely Legend Doctor and such a cool badass.
I’ve been waiting for this! This episode is also the end of Murray Gold as composer who has been writing the music since Christopher Eccleston. That’s why he re-uses a lot of old themes from the Tennant era. It really does feel like the end of an era.
“Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.”
I swear, this line changed my brain chemistry in a way that’ll stick with me forever. I love it so so much. The delivery, the writing, I don’t even care how drawn out the whole thing is, it’s just got so much good in it.
Thanks so much Fairwhale for the fun WHO reactions. Been with you since S1E3 and have enjoyed every moment. Look forward to seeing you wirh future reactions to new stuff.
Love the way the cat is just sitting there😂…and?
Great reaction, CAPALDIs pre regeneration speech was written and delivered brilliantly, goodbye best Doctor ever, this is my favorite Christmas special easily
I think you'd really like "The Tenth Planet" (Hartnell's last story). Unfortunately only the soundtrack of the final ep exists, so video releases have presented it with tele snaps or animation. Luckily the regeneration sequence has survived - and it's beautiful.
Also, I'll hold your hand through what's coming, bruv.
The dvd is now available with an animated fourth episode.
It would be nice if they could film some stuff with David Bradley to fill in the missing video
Good luck watching the next two series... your gonna need it 😂😂
@Quilo Sky i hated the newest 2 personally it's all opinion based
He's already seen them
@Quilo Sky Ye he will love the season that retconed everything
HE'S ALREADY SEEN THEM
I have to say, I am genuinely loving how you're obviously watching Who completely cold, and somehow managing to avoid all the stuff like knowing the end-twist of this. That must take one Hell of a lot of Spoiler-avoiding discipline.
The score this episode was a send-off to Murray Gold, who had written the score since Series 1 in 2005. Some of his hest tracks were there, including the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctor's themes, Clara's theme, Vale, and The Shepherd's Boy
This is probably my favourite regeneration episode. God I miss Capaldi and Moffat. They were the best for me. There's so many things in this episode that goes over people's heads!
Originally the Doctor was meant to regenerate at the end of the previous story but the new show runnwr had no Christmas special ready with 13 and Moffat wrote this to keep the tradition going. But we haven't had one since.
They switched to New Year specials instead after this.
@@michaelkenner3289 not exactly. We got one. We didn't get a seasonal special at all over the "holidays" for 2019/2020. We will get one this Christmas/New Year's. Then we are entering into the Corvideo zone.
13 undeniably lives up to 12's final words. That is in no doubt.
Last episodes- the master and missy. This episode- the two doctors 🤔🤔🤔 I'm sensing a pattern here 🤔🤔
And thus exits my favorite doctor with one of my favorite speeches of all time.
Laugh Hard
Run Fast
Be Kind
I will never let this doctor go
A wonderful reaction to a very sweet episode. The 12th Doctor was one of the best. Capaldi is a brilliant actor!
Failwhale happening to have been wearing a War Doctor shirt is just... so perfect.
I’m pretty sure the recording crew only had like 20 minutes to record capaldi’s last scene
loved the episode! was an amazing ride!
CAPALDI WAS THE BEST DOCTOR AND GONNA MISS FOREVER ♥️
Finally made it here I’ve watched from the start to here 6 days straight loves the reactions all the way
This is my first day on your channel and I love these! I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Tennant and Smith both star as The Doctor in a story each from The Sarah Jane Adventures spin off series and Capaldi is in the first episode of Class. You might want to check them out :)
You are a joy to watch. To see someone else have the same responses to one of my favorite episodes is a powerful thing.
Watching this episode in local cinema with others was a great joy. A lot of laughs at the jokes at the right time and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Whovians reunited and having a good time. What more can one wish for?
Capaldi's final lines were so incredibly meta as he was saying goodbye to the role he had spent his entire life persuing and at the same time telling Jodi and all future doctors what the most important things are.
This episode still makes me so emotional.
It makes my heart and soul smile watching your reactions to my favourite ever show. I too still laugh and cry in all those places... and Im 51 ;-)
ok for you who dont understand about the football thing in the seen @18:14 we can not forget our history or the men who died to save us The Christmas truce (German: Weihnachtsfrieden; French: Trêve de Noël) was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front of the First World War around Christmas 1914.
The truce occurred only five months into the war. Hostilities had lulled as leadership on both sides reconsidered their strategies following the stalemate of the Race to the Sea and the indecisive result of the First Battle of Ypres. In the week leading up to 25 December, French, German, and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. Men played games of football with one another, creating one of the most memorable images of the truce.[1] Hostilities continued in some sectors, while in others the sides settled on little more than arrangements to recover bodies.
the way this episode made me cry when I first watched and the way it still makes me tear up ahh I love Capaldi 🥺
IIRC This happened coz peter and Steven were at a convention and someone asked Steven which doctor he would like to have written, Stephen said “the first doctor but obviously William Hartnell isn’t alive” and Peter said “you could use David Bradley” and a great episode was born...
12:15 The TARDIS set here is actually the one they built for An Adventure in Space and Time in 2013, the documentary they did for the 50th anniversary. The original was WAY cheaper and shoddy.
I loved series 10. I so wanted another year with that TARDIS team. Capaldi was my doctor. ❤
Did you notice the Brit soldier was the Brigadeer's father and Kate's grandfather?
UGHHHHH I'M CRYING NOW!!! I GOT PASSED THIS YEARS AGO, AND THIS (amazing) REACTION GOT ME FEELING SHIT AGAIN! In all seriousness, great reaction to a great sendoff to my favorite Doctor, and can't wait to see your thoughts on the 13 era. Granted, I personally felt Series 12 is where the more react-worthy stuff is, but curious to see your thoughts on Series 11.
The reaction we were all waiting for. It is *here!*
The Christmas truce of 1914 is my favorite history story. I'm so glad they were able to address it in the show. So few people know about that amazing day
best doctor hands down
“Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.
Doctor, I let you go.”
capaldi and moffat’s final love letter to the show, this episode never fails to bring me to tears. it’s like the emotional epilogue to the big finale of WEAT/TDF, giving 12 the closure he needed and absolutely deserved. so many things come full circle, regardless of my opinion on the current era i believe this could have ended the whole show. beautifully poetic, a lovely, subtle sendoff about 12’s character development and suicidal tendencies, which isn’t spoken about enough. the final scenes on the battlefield wrap up his era and character perfectly, as the man who hated soldiers now alone on an empty battlefield. the fact he gets his memories of clara back is everything and his regeneration speech is pitch perfect, i’ll never let 12 go. he really had such a complex and beautiful character arc, you can really see how far he has come here. 12 is and always will be my doctor
I was crying at Capaldi’s speech at the end. I always cry when the Doctor regenerates. It’s always so sad and hard but also a good reminder that you have to move on. I’m curious about his reaction to season 11 and 12 since both seasons have caused a lot of controversy amongst their audiences
