“The Doctor encounters an entity he has no knowledge of whatsoever” is such a solid concept for an episode, and boy did they deliver.
Right? Even he doesn't know what it is, which is scary, goes to show that there's some things beyond even the Timelords understanding, personally I think it was one of the Great Old Ones from before the universe like the Beast or the Great Intelligence.
There's a difference between knowledge and experience
Even if they know of whatever the fuck it is, doesn't mean any singular one of them would be able to identify it on a dime, let alone a limited data set, let alone if it was an unpredictable being@@EternalPayne
@@PJOZeusi don’t know why you need to work so hard to preserve the idea that he knows everything. he’s a person. he hasn’t seen everything.
That is experience
The Doctor always bumped into entities he didn't know about in the OS. The mistake of NuWho was turning the Doctor into some universal travel guide who, despite only having lived 900 years or so, has somehow familiarized himself with every baddie in the cosmos. There are BILLIONS of galaxies, with BILLIONS of stars in them, with each of them having BILLIONS of years worth of time periods. Even if you confined your stay to just 24 hours per stop, in 900 years you'd have only visited 327,600.
Relatively speaking, that's not even out your front door and in your car yet.
I love how her "wow" after the Pi thing has a bit of arrogance in it while the doctor's "wow" is genuine fascination, like the alien thing is mocking the doctor
because its already figured out its going to attach to him, so him rattling off pi like its the deciding factor in what its doing is probably hilarious to it. It DID outsmart the Doctor in the end and it knew it could do it from the start. HORRIFYING
One thing i recently realized when rewatching this episode is that she never blinks. Like, ever. Once she's possessed (or whatever happens), her eyes are open all the time.
Yeah, that's a scary touch.
She would handle the Weeping Angels pretty well 😂
There is a phenomenon that explains that oddly enuff. The fact that she doesn't blind wierds humans out to no end. Just an automatic creep factor. Characters and androids are programmed with a random bling factor to make them feel more friendly.
\. Even LT. Cmmdr. DATA explained it.

Nah, they blink. At least twice you see it:

If he had just said "raxacoricofallapatorius" the Midnight entity would probably just give up.
Ha! Why didn't he say that?
how the hell did u spell it

I think the creepiest part about this being is the fact that we never learned what was out there. We never learned what could take over a person’s mind. Even the Doctor was clearly frightened by this being.
I would say the creepiest part is that the monster didn't have any power of them except what they gave it. If they had just sat down and been silent, it would have remained quite powerless, but instead they let their own fear make the situation worse and worse. Human fear was the real monster, and we saw exactly how it would take over a person's mind, how it could be so overpowering that it could unsettle even the Doctor. Something as ordinary as human fear.
The fact that the Doctor was scared is saying something.

2:55 I just realised that Jethro is the first to realise that Sky’s now syncing along while the Professor is speaking. The Doctor only realises it after he sees that Jethro looks alarmed so he looks and then he realises that Sky is syncing too.
I do feel sorry for Jethro though. He looks like he’s having a panic attack or mental breakdown later on when the professor and his dad are trying to throw The Doctor out of the capsule. I mean, he does try to help them but I feel like he was being overwhelmed and pressured by his mum’s hysterics.
Totally agreed Jethro was very observant and insightful but ultimately cracked under the pressure of the situation and his parents.
@@hollywark2885 Couldn't agree more
Methyl was easily the most capable person in the room aside from the doctor. He kept his head until the end, and he was able to look at things reasonably done objectively, unlike his mother who is, in my opinion, the driving force behind the entity. Without her to shout at the men, they probably wouldn’t have tried to toss out the doctor.
Jethro started off seeming like this edgy teenager but ended up being the most sane of them all.
Nobody talks about Dede. She was always one step ahead.
I love that Jethro finds out she's possesed and starts shouting "666" at it XD
I love how Jethro is the same actor as Merlin in the tv series Merlin. I was like, "Oh hey! What's Merlin doing in the future?"
@@lukehaddad5185 I mean Emrys is immortal...

In my opinion, this was a scarier Doctor Who episode than Blink
I agree, though Blink was my first episode.
Completely agree
Blink was really good episode but it wasn't a doctor who episode.
furkan ünsal But it has doctor who in the title ;)
Yeah it has but the dark knight rises is a batman movie. Can u read "batman" in the title?
All the actors in this episode were incredible, but Sky's actress was fantastic. The look in her eyes when she turns around is so authentically inhumane and predatory, it's really chilling. She did such a good job
Would NOT have worked with brown eyes 😂 I've got green eyes and man, the number of people who tell me my eyes are unsettling or 'frantic' or whtvr without me even trying to look weird is hilarious
As a brown eyed guy I would've looked pretty funny yeah
@@flamingarbre1284I have Brown eyes and i find them very unsettling unlike Green i find them fascinating id rather have them they are beautiful they sparkle in The Moonlight and look dazzling in The Sunlight i don't find them unsettling at all.
I think some this shows strongest episodes are when the Doctor faces something even he can't comprehend
"Tardis. Rose Tyler. Martha Jones. Donna Noble. Boom." This episode gives me feels. Damn those feels.
I waited just for that scene while watching :D
Almost right but it's: "Bang! Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, TARDIS!"
It's "BANG! Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, Tardis" not "tardis, Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble. Boom!"
You had one job.
FFS QUOTE ACCURATELY
This scared me more than the weeping Angels
Danny Kay more than the Silence?
yeah, this was the scariest monster to me!
Danny Kay nothing imho is scarier then the weeping angels. Silence were scary. This being is scary but weeping angels are by far the scariest!
Yeah! This was so unpredictable and creepy
I never thought of the Silence as scary, really. Cool monster, but not scary
This is how you do horror on a budget, no need for monsters or special effects just actors in a room playing out a psychological thriller essentially. They saved money and created one of the scariest episodes of New Who and some would say Who in general.

(OK but seriously though, nothing scary that the weeping angels)
The only Doctor Who episode that I held off rewatching for years because it terrified my teenage self that much. Not just in scares, but by how utterly raw and disturbing it is.
This is the one of the closest times the Doctor has come to being outright murdered and it came at the hands of humanity, the species which he protects and favours the most. His own intelligence and confidence proving to be his downfall for once. And as far as we know, the creature is probably still out there.
Absolute masterpiece from Russell T Davies, IMO the scariest New Who has ever been.
The Whovian Chaser Nah the Waters of Mars takes that crown
Oh really? I understand you! 🙃
But the only episode tha I held off rewatching was „the empty child“ with Christopher Eccleston. It was scary.
So I know how you feel!
Pretentious.
@@Zelink108 Pretentious
Crazy how probably his worst enemy isn't the Daleks, isn't The Master, isn't even himself. It's the very species he admires and loves: Humans and this episode shows it. The fact he was able to forgive the human race for this afterwards is extraordinary
The isolation and the unknown terror in this episode still scares me

Just realizing how absolutely brilliant that shot is when he's asking Skye to turn around. Because of the lighting, there's a very clear shadow on the wall behind her mimicking her every movement, foreshadowing the creature's behavior later in the episode.
Good catch!
"I think… the more we talk the more she learns. Now I’m all for education but in this case… maybe not."
If only they had all just shut up they would've been fine.... but nope!

I agree, they should have communicated using pen and paper if they could find any but nope they had to start babbling incessantly.

Definitely!
Still waiting for an explanation for this being. But maybe it is more mysterious to just leave it here.
H.P. Lovecraft once said: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”. So it's better to just leave it.
I think you might have to wait longer than Rory waited for Amy to get an answer to this mystery...
Yea.. me too its like with Listen episode...Still dont know what creature was there and doing all the things
david246msi listen was great, the point the doctor made at the beginning really was amazing though
I'd say so. Despite being given an explanation, the Weeping Angels still had an air of mystery that made them more terrifying which was lost in further appearances.
The buildup from the Doctor telling Sky to turn around with the creepy music playing and her blank stare/sinister smirk she shows really is one of the best uses of horror I’ve seen.
Hands down the best ever episodes of Doctor Who in my opinion.
• You don’t ever see the Monster/Alien
• The acting from Lesley Sharp is incredible and her stare is terrifying.
•The simple idea of an episode based purely of human panic and what happens when people get panicked and scared
•The whole mystery of the episode is what happens next.
•The soundtrack in the background complements that atmosphere of the episode perfectly.
•David Tennant’s acting is also incredible even when the monster/alien takes over his body
Agree 100%. My favourite episode
That's the real Stephen King stuff here
Nah. Lovecraft.
@@soygato2722 i agree its lovecraft af
lolasum sumi-san Something that can't be seen, described. Has no real voice. And we don't even know if this is the end for It.

On a sidenote, did David Tennant just freaking memorize the square root of pi for that scene?
Seriously is merlin still waiting for Arthur?
I think so
Who is stronger? Dr Who or Merlin? :D
Eragon439 ohhh tough one... What do you think?
Eragon439 Both of them.
Yes.
We need episodes like this again!!! Smith and capaldi didn't have eps like this
IONS LEGACY because they had too high budgets... They weren't confined into making the most of a limited budget
7PlayingWithFire7 Of course, this is an example of how amazing a low budget episode can truly be. All we as viewers saw was a bit of light and a crystalline surface, and not even a lot of that. We simply saw people.
IONS LEGACY The episode "Last Christmas" from the 12th Doctor era is mostly pretty terrifying
Moffats era of Doctor Who is more family friendly. The only episodes from Moffat that were this close to being dark amd mature were Dark Water and Heaven Sent.
ehm...Listen ? Weeping Angels ? Silence ? Dolls ?
Such an INCREDIBLE episode!! The ONLY one that truly terrifies me, with it's brilliant concept, excellent writing, downright loveable characters, and also the creepy and eerie music. Midnight, to me is how you make a PERFECT episode of Doctor Who. All the elements are there, and they blend together beautifully to make a breath-taking 45 minute scary rollercoaster of a story. Absolutely 10/10!!

I'm so obsessed with this episode. It's just great, and as David said in an interview, the closest he felt to theatre on set. Amazing acting and superb writing, sound and making of.
"What's she doing?"
She's subscribing to the Official Doctor Who UA-cam Channel.
I get the feeling the Doctor could've easily been traumatized by this episode. I just say this bc sometimes in traumatic events, you're quite literally paralyzed with fear (or in the case of the midnight entity, being 'possessed' Ig, which isn't the same thing, I know) or unable to move at all. Then on top of that being forcibly grabbed by everybody in else in the cabin while he couldn't move...that would definetly mess with the Doctor's mind (or anyone's) to say the least.
And then there was also some sense of the 'after effects' the experience or trauma implied by his convo with Donna at the end of the episode, something *residual* about his last lines--in telling Donna not to repeat what he said (bc it was still too terrifying/too close to joke about), and then the fact that he *repeats himself* "don't, don't" like the entity knocking on the door twice or just the fact that the tendency to repeat is still there after the experience.
You almost get the feeling that if he could have said a single word as everybody was fixing to throw him out of the cabin, it would have been, "Don't," but of course he couldn't speak, or maybe it was what he would have said before the Hostess sacrificed herself, and maybe that's why they are the final words we hear from the Doctor in this episode (but this is just my opinion obviously)...
Lol I know it's probably not that deep, I just think "Midnight" is really well done...Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
This episode was so freaky. It had such a ridley scott alians vibe and its so simple in the way it stays in one room. The creepy monster, the unknown of what its like outside the pod and just this breakdown of how human behave under intense preasure
By far one of my favourite and unforgettable episodes in the show, it's practically an X-files episode set in space, which isn't a bad thing by any stretch. Still bothers me though that we never found out what it was.
Someday...
GabrielKnightz some things are better off left alone and not knowing lol
Agree to disagree, It's always better to know :)
(probably the pessimist in me)
There has been a lot of theories about it being the great intelligence or a dying tardis.
What makes it creepy is you didn't get to see the body enter the vehicle and then enter the lady.
This was and still is the scariest episode of 'Doctor Who' ever... I wonder if they can ever top it?
The acting in this episode
This has got to be one of, if not my absolute favorite episodes ever. The fear isn't just from the monster - which, in keeping it a mystery, means we'll never know... But in how quickly everyone turned and went on a witch hunt. A monster, and turning the humans into monsters through fear. We don't know what the creature would have done after absorbing the Doctor's words (thoughts? soul?), but that's the wonderful part.
I never watched doctor who as a kid but I could definitely understand how this would freak kids out but to me it’s just really funny man “my names Jethro” hilarious
666! XD
This episode is an acting masterpiece. Repeating so many sentences requires a lot of text to be memorized. In addition, the actors had to work precisely with one another. It certainly wasn't that easy.
Everything was done so well in this episode: The acting, the lighting, the music, EVERYTHING
“Oh doctor you look so handsom why thank you!”
Oh my got Moffat
Loved how the actors were able to sync at the same time. I am continuing to be amazed at how good this episode is. I don't get really scared at shows anymore, but this still frightens me first you hear the noise outside, then Sky is possessed and then the Doctor's voice is taken as he becomes helpless to stop it or even save his life. I love this episode. It's a modern classic Who.
I still remember when this was aired. 6 years old,and it's never left my memory. I crowned this as the best episode, and to be honest, it probably still is. It's so weird to think Russell T Davies was actually sceptical if people would like this episode.
It’s easy to say that the writing was great and the episode was great, but don’t forget that the casting of this woman was absolutely fantastic. Even down to the way she’s cowering alone she still looks sinister in her movements before even turning around.
Only episode I can't rewatch. The Doctor's helplessness and the increased anxiety of the situation is just too much for me. Stellar writing
This was one of the few episodes were it felt like the Doctor was in genuine danger.
I remember this episode and I remember hating the humans on it except for Merli- I mean, Jethro
Don't forget about the unknown hereo, the hostess.
Since the second 60th anniversary special released, anyone else think that the Midnight Entity and the Not-things are eerily similar? Like it might've been a shadow return of the Midnight Entity? Or at the very least, another one of its' species? Or like a cousin or something? They just give off the same vibe. They all enjoy a spot of mimicry, they all seem to come from nothingness (Midnight Entity came from the vacuum of space, Not-things came from the edge of the universe), and they all seem to be non-existent in some respect, but they want to exist, so they take a body (Midnight Entity is in the very literal sense here). Idk, but they seem very similar.
yep, I said it as soon as we saw "the Doctor" talking to her with his memories...
the toymaker in the final speicel, the toymaker Mentions the only creature he never dared to challenge to a game, was "the one who waits. But that is another players problem." It would be really interesting if all those are connected and the new doctor will need to deal with this. Also the "cold the dark the midnight sky" is what this not thing describes it also describes what is scene outside the ship in wild blue yonder.. darkness and nothing.
This whole episode was just a round of Among Us
LMAO YES!
Not really.

The most underappreciated episode since 2005. One room (for the most part), and just good writing, acting and directing, resulting in one of the most chilling episodes of the series' 54 year history. Beautiful.

best acting ive ever seen in a long time. cant imagine how long it took to film that
Imo, this episode is a masterclass in horror done right. No jumpscares or other cheap ways to keep the viewer in suspense, it’s truly a scary scenario, given on how quickly the monster is to learn. Though I do believe the real “monster” in this episode isn’t the alien creature, rather it’s all of the other passengers, given how quick they were to turn on the Doctor to cast him out. Even my non-DW fan friends admire this episode. Incredibly well done.
Yeah, the horror of this episode feels much more psychological in nature than pretty much anything else we've seen in the series. The creature repeating everything is creepy for sure, but what's truly terrifying is how the people on the shuttle react to it (and the fact that those people could really be any of us in a similar situation, afraid for our lives). It's chilling watching the Doctor struggle and ultimately completely lose control over the situation, when usually he can command a room with just a few words.
the tension in this episode still gets to me ten years later
Jethro is a bit of a punk kid, but I also like how they make him one of the smarter ones of the group. He was the only one, other than the doctor, to notice that Sky was repeating at the same time. Theres other examples in the episode which show he's a lot more switched on that most others in the group.
Fun Fact: the man who played Professor Hobbes is David Troughton who is the son of the 2nd Doctor Patrick Troughton
It became like the passengers. It learnt from them, they were accusing it of being a monster but they didn't realise that they were teaching it.
I want footage of Tennant and Lesley Sharp rehearsing this scene together.
This is probably the scariest doctor who epsiode because we don't know what kind of alien that possessed sky and why it wanted to leave the planet or anything else about it and the extent of it's powers other than what we've seen. Even now this episode still gives me the heebie jeebies, that's psycholigical fear for you, even scarier that the waters of mars.
Jethro just being too cute even in a scary situation

@@Daniel-qw7mm Who's to say it will never be repeated? I haven't watched classic Who, but I'm sure people must've had the same feeling when Tom Baker left.

@@shahrzadketabollahi5496 It’s pretty clear that we’ll never get back to this standard. At best there’ll be one good episode every couple of years which will get heaps of praise and people will use that to pretend the show is good again....
This scared me much more than Blink. The entity and the way it possesses her is abnormal and uncomfortable. Then the fact that the other passengers just WON'T shut up because they're scared makes it that much more terrifying because you're forced to watch the situation get steadily worse with no way to stop it.
Still gives me chills this bit!
This is one of my favorite doctor who episodes
Hahaha, hey Merlin.
This woman being possessed has been my sleep paralysis for long time now
The best RTD written episode in my opinion.
Well, I think that Children of Earth and Waters of Mars top it slightly. But this was amazing by modern series standards.
This is one of my favorite episodes by far. Amazing script. Stellar Acting. Suspense. Mystery. It had it all!
Can we just appreciate the FANTASTIC acting in this scene. Truly a masterclass.
Lol Jeffro made her say “666”
This was my first Doctor Who episode. It scared me so much that I didn't watch again until the 2010 Christmas special.
An entity that can break through the mental defenses of a Time Lord, and quite possibly having never encountered or even heard of them before, is genuinely horrifying.
Absolutely stunning acting in this episode.
Ok I was not prepared for this! I totally forgot about how scary this episode was
That one time Merlin was on DW
To this day i still think this was the vashta nerada but a part of it that was trying to figure out how to control a host rather then just devouring it.
What makes the midnight monster frightening, is the fact you never see it.
You also do not know what it truly wants. That is terrifying also.
Masterpiece of a episode
That woman's acting in this episode was amazing! Such a great episode and one of my favorites.
Genuinely the scariest creature in any episode. We never learn what it is, or how it’s connected to the thing outside the bus. One of the drivers says they see it, but we never do. The doctor never learns any useful information. We have no clue if it’s even dead, but presumably it isn’t. I genuinely believe this is the closest anything ever got to truly defeating the Doctor.
This episode is scarier than 90% of scary movies.
