Been looking forward to these ones EB! Amazing how with one gas mask, and four innocent sounding words, Steven Moffatt created something so terrifying!
I suppose knowing that both Gas Masks contained asbestos was really comforting after WW2 - dont know where mum put hers but I found my in-laws a few years back.
These are set in London, but filmed in Cardiff. I live here, and it always adds something when you recognise a familiar street. The spin-off series aimed at a more adult audience, Torchwood, features Captain Jack as the leader of a group dealing with situations outside of the mundane, is actually set in Cardiff. He's a fascinating character.
Yeh I'm in Cardiff too. I like torchwood apart from when they go to America. But the one thing I hate about it is that the writers made all the characters complete dicks lol. It has a depressing feeling about it.
The fandom loves Captain Jack. This episode is definitely built around the scene of the Doctor shouting, “Just this once, everybody lives”. Imagine how many times he’s failed to save people, how many episodes end with people sacrificing themselves to save the world. It’s good to finally give the Doctor an episode where everything works out and he can leave happy. It’s probably the only episode in the series where he can end up happy enough to dance. The value the episode has increases the more Who you watch and the more death you see.
I read an interview with the writer of this story. He was asked about the people who had contacted the BBC to complain that it had scared their kids to the point of nightmares. He was absolutely thrilled about it! Kind of, "YES! Hide behind the sofa like people would in the old days! - job done!". 💚🐇🐴💚
Jack Harkness plays a pivotal role in Dr Who from now on. In time he becomes leader of the Torchwood. A brilliant spin off. The two series often share joint storyines and the series are very intermingled having visual clues common to both programs as well as characters guesting on both shows. Like everbody says "Blink" is terrifying. If you remember the bad wolf mentions so have the writers. This is the start of a wild ride
Glad you’re watching the Doctor. We were like you during this Ep…. WTF is going on? Afterwards, my daughter used to say at every opportunity: “Are you my mummy?” My response was: “Unfortunately!” 😂😂
Contemporary American's are more used to being force fed story arcs and beaten over the head with clues rather than classic story telling and mystery that peaks curiosity. That is probably why you found it frustrating rather than enjoyably challenging.
i felt like saying stop asking qns and wanting imediate answers.just watch it.let it take you on the journey.take a note of everything and you may get your answers at the end like your meant to.
These are great episodes- this one is worth waiting for. Normally the The Time Lords prevented other races from developing time travel, but they arent around anymore so humans developed it eventually.
Sometimes you just have sit back and say to yourself "yes, that's two people dancing to Glenn Miller on the roof of a spaceship in front of the Big Ben clock tower"
Yes, he still does Hollywood shows but mostly UK stuff. He was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in 2014 for his charity work and entertainment. Met him at a convention once, he's exactly like his on screen persona. Love to see him meet the Ncuti Doctor.
Introducing one of DWs greatest writers. One of the great things about this episode is showing the dark side of the blitz. Like all countries who fought in WW2, Britain has a mythology about the war. One of these is the 'blitz spirit' with people singing together in shelters and defying the nazis. This was part of it of course but the crime and terrible poverty was rife. My mum was ten when the blitz began. My grandad was a black marketeer and petty criminal so I have heard a lot about how dark and terrifying this time really was.
Sorry to tell you this now but not every question is answered, sometimes you have to wait episode arcs or season to solve them lol it’s part of the addiction.
Actually, he's Scottish-American, because he may have been born and lived his early childhood in Scotland, but he moved to the US when he was 8, and spent the rest of his childhood there. The American aspect of his nationality is just as if not more important than the Scottish part.
@@peterlewis2178 I know all that but if you check out his Doctor Who or Torchwood Outtakes he speaks with a proper Scottish Accent. As he does in some of his An Audience With work. He has Dual Nationality but as he said, He is Scottish First.
So many other heroes busy saving all the big American cities ( many played by Brits) poor old Doctor Who wouldn't get a look in .I loved your reaction every thought that was going through my head came back as it did when I.first saw it . Great use of the 2 parter and the war setting . Of course Captain Jack , played by the effervescent John Barrowman had to be American . Well acted and written by future forerunner Stephen Moffat .
Keep ruffling those feathers, fella, excellent as always , big Golf Tournament here on the wirral in Hoylake, not my thing but people seem to love their golf...cheers..E...😊
Jack Harkness played by John Barrowman, born in Glasgow, Scotland moved to the USA when he was 8 years old with his parents, that’s why he has an American accent. Jack Harkness works for Torchwood. It was an Institute set up in the U.K. in 1879 for fighting alien threats. Jack is like the Doctor, he can’t die.
That’s the brilliance of Dr Who, it starts with lots of unanswered questions, then it scares you, then it makes you laugh, then it throws a curve ball with captain jack, then it all comes together but leaves you wanting more.
Hey man. I'm a Scottish pinball wizard. I was directed to your channel for some reason. Still game kept me entertained! I have laughed so much at your videos! I even joined your channel 😮 Give me a shout and I can be your UK translator if you like? Free service if need be. You're missing about 40% of the still game gags. You're amazing for reviewing though, I love it!
Brilliant story, brilliant actors, brilliant direction, brilliant sound, since the effects got remastered for blu ray even they stand up now! So glad you enjoyed it feller, peace.
The Empty Child turns some of the sci-fi tropes on their head. We are introduced to a creepy child, that actually turns out to be innocent , rather than the apparent helpful persons that turn out to be evil.
I absolutely love your reaction videos to my favourite shows. This particular episode freaked the absolute shit out of my kids who I turned into huge fans of the show 😂😂. I get your humour and have no idea why anyone would complain lol.
In torchwood ( a dr who spin off, you will get there) a lot of things happen in Cardiff instead of London EDIT : just realised this episode introduces capain jack , unintentional timing on this comment
Such a great story. No wonder it won the Hugo Award back then (You have four more Hugo Award winning Doctor Who stories to look forward to). Captain Jack made a great new companion but Nancy would also have been a great addition to the TARDIS crew,
This episode pairs "alien" and "unknown" perfectly. The alien equivalent of a band aid causes serious harm to humanity and has the potential to wipe us all out. That's a fair description of the episode when you stop and think about it.
😂😂 oh Allen, you're cracking me up on this one, dude. Right so I don't know if you watched the link to a recent interview with Chris Eccleston, but said that of all the episodes he was in, this was his favourite story. Without trying to give any spoilers away, we get to meet a very important recurring character in captain Jack Hackness (you may know him from ARROW). He pops up a lot in Dr. Who, and he's the lead in the spin-off show TORCHWOOD. Jack he a secret, but I'll let you discover that out for yourself.
One of my favourtie storylines, with I think some great clever wirting as the first part does indeed raise a lot of questions which are fully answered in the 2nd. Loved your reaction. Cannot wait for more. (get watching, you have many, many episodes to watch:p)
The fact that these 2 episodes predicted an pandemic 15 years before Covid and patient 0 is Jamie is pretty good story telling. 'physical injuries spread like a plague.'
Totally agree, them and the Daleks with the cocky knee accents ( from the early Dr Who episodes) ...enough to have me hiding behind the sofa ,with a merlot...!! Cheers...E...
Paaatience EB, lol, you're gonna give yourself high blood pressure. I love your reactions so much, and when it's one of my favourite shows ever, even better. Watching it with someone who gets it all is just the best. ❤
Well, now you met the character I was letting you know about back in the Dickens episode. Didn't that get interesting? 🙃You will probably have to mingle watch the two shows at some point or quite possibly lose you mind completely! 😉Some one left a list in here and it's not bad from a first cursory glance. Thanks for this one Alan. Be well.😉
The first season of new Who was something truly special. And this two-parter was absolutely part of why. Steven Moffat doesn't always get things right (Sherlock turned into a fucking disaster that betrayed the very history of its source material) but when he gets it right, he gets it really right.
Loved this two-parter story. Little shades of the old Quatermass sci-fi series in this one like each victim having a scar or “mark” on their hand. The whole concept for this particular monster of the week is really cool.
I think that the reason why you have the feeling of knowing the actor playing Captain Jack Harkness, is probably because he is primarily a singer and dancer who has appeared on American television in “Dancing With the Stars “as well as several stage shows and musical’s the USA and he is also a very Loud and Proud advocate for gay rights.
and all us tape recorder nerds jumped on the 2nd installment - Vortexion WVA tape recorder (first produced around 1957) ( a more period correct one would be a wire tape recorder, and even most of them were german.)
Captain Jack gets his own spinoff show called 'Torchwood' which is a bit more grown up than Dr Who. Certainly worth looking at. Oh, Torchwood is a super secret organisation originally set up by Queen Victoria after her encounter with a werewolf in the Dr Who episode: 'Tooth and Claw'
Thing is around this ere of Doctor Who are two spin-off series 'The Sarah Jane Adventures' (more for the younger audiences) starring the late Liz Sladen who is a former companion of the 3rd and 4th Doctor incarnations, and Torchwood based around Captain Jack Harkness set around the time of the 9th Doctor onwards...

Glad to see you enjoyed this... and welcome to the writing of Steven Moffat... He's a fantastic writer and you'll get used to looking forward to his story every season.. And then after a few seasons he takes over the show and you'll notice the difference. And Jack? Well... Jack's Jack.... If you don't love him already, you soon will.. And I'm assuming you'll add Torchwood to your show's viewed...
I do not envy your job of having to cut these down for you tube, Captain Jack reappears from time to time and is the lead character of the spin off series Torchwood.
Yes Dr Who was strange at times and it was (as a young person) very strange, but I guess that is my most of us entering our Teenage Years at the time was hooked on it.
Your next mission Mr Electric Beard , if you chose it, is to follow and learn all about Captain Jack in the Torchwood series. Torchwood is an anagram of Dr Who.
0:50 this has been my main issue with the show's revival, especially Russel T Davis' era. Of all the universe across all time pretty much every episode was centred within the same 200 years of Earth / England Also it was around the time these episodes aired that it was outed Christopher Ecclestone would be leaving at the end of the series. The stories at the time being he had a bad falling out with one of the higher ups behind the scenes (proven years later to be Russel himself). However I don't think David Tennant was ever announced as the new Doctor until he was revealed in the regeneration scene Glad your enjoying Doctor Who both classic and revival, EB. Thanks again for the great content
Also these were pretty much instantaneously considered the episodes of the series, maybe with exception to the Dalek episode. Even 20 years later it's virtually law in the UK if someone's wearing something resembling a gas mask one has to say "are you my mummy?"
Well, focusing so many episodes in the locals is for saving on the budget that would otherwise be exhausted on extensive scene sets. Btw, not mad, just thought I'd put that out.
Hi E.B., I`m glad you enjoyed the story, although you certainly got frustrated early on. I can`t say it affected me in that way when I watched it. I`m surprised you didn`t seem to notice Rose`s unhelpful tee-shirt when daggling from a rope, in the middle of a German air raid. You will notice stories written by Steven Moffat, can be often unsettling.
Yeah I looked it up after I reacted. I knew I had seen him and I was watching Arrow from the jump because I was excited that Green Arrow was finally getting a bit more recognition cinematically than had been previously done since he's such an interesting character.
THIS was my favourite episode! 👍🏻😄 ohhh hang on…..Blink…….School Reunion… ermmm….no more spoiler episode titles! 😮Just saying that THAT was just ONE of my many favourite, favourite, repeat repeat…. episodes! *satisfied and smug smiley here*
Been looking forward to these ones EB! Amazing how with one gas mask, and four innocent sounding words, Steven Moffatt created something so terrifying!
I suppose knowing that both Gas Masks contained asbestos was really comforting after WW2 - dont know where mum put hers but I found my in-laws a few years back.
Easy to forget there was a time before Captain Jack was a part of (the extended) Dr Who world...
@@rerenaissance7487 Always felt that with a name like Captain Jack Dr Who would go Pirates of the (Space) Carribean.
@@highpath4776 dangerously near on occasion... :)

Very fascinating although I would wait until season 2 of doctor who to start watching Torchwood... Because spoilers.
Not to mention (though this is just my opinion torchwoods not the greatest of shows. Thought I be fair I've watched every season😅
Yeh I'm in Cardiff too. I like torchwood apart from when they go to America. But the one thing I hate about it is that the writers made all the characters complete dicks lol. It has a depressing feeling about it.
Both episodes written by Steven Moffat. Brilliant writing. He also wrote the brilliant episode "Blink"
He's very good at the darker side of doctor who.
Great writer... Not so much for showrunning
The fandom loves Captain Jack. This episode is definitely built around the scene of the Doctor shouting, “Just this once, everybody lives”.

Scared them to the point of nightmares? Sounds like some sappy kids. Must of been posh kids.

Hey ho Captain Jack! Take me back to the railroad track.. Makes sense now.
Glad you’re watching the Doctor. We were like you during this Ep…. WTF is going on?
Afterwards, my daughter used to say at every opportunity: “Are you my mummy?” My response was: “Unfortunately!” 😂😂
The empty child scared the pants off me, when as a viewer, I didn't know what was happening. The suspense is the mystery
When you've watched it long enough you'll start to see layers. Like how the doctor tests new companions with ethical situations.
Contemporary American's are more used to being force fed story arcs and beaten over the head with clues rather than classic story telling and mystery that peaks curiosity.
That is probably why you found it frustrating rather than enjoyably challenging.
i felt like saying stop asking qns and wanting imediate answers.just watch it.let it take you on the journey.take a note of everything and you may get your answers at the end like your meant to.
Glad you liked Moffat's writing. He'll be the showrunner down the line.
One thing i like about Dr Who is that it doesnt spoon feed you information, you have to work it out sometimes
These are great episodes- this one is worth waiting for. Normally the The Time Lords prevented other races from developing time travel, but they arent around anymore so humans developed it eventually.
Sometimes you just have sit back and say to yourself "yes, that's two people dancing to Glenn Miller on the roof of a spaceship in front of the Big Ben clock tower"
You may recognise John Barrowman from the early Seasons of 'Arrow'
Yes, he still does Hollywood shows but mostly UK stuff. He was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in 2014 for his charity work and entertainment. Met him at a convention once, he's exactly like his on screen persona. Love to see him meet the Ncuti Doctor.
That was a treat, thank you. Your reaction at the end was worth all the questions wasn't it. Some great acting by Florence Hoath as Nancy.

My favourite story of the modern doctor series...brilliantly written and truly disturbing
Sorry to tell you this now but not every question is answered, sometimes you have to wait episode arcs or season to solve them lol it’s part of the addiction.
The Production of Doctor Who was based in Cardiff, Wales
Captain Jack is a Scottish Actor. He has been in Doctor Who a number of times and he was in Torchwood. You find things out at the proper time.
A Scot who comes from San Diego. (You don't get many of those to a pound!)
@@antiqueinsider Lives in San Diego. If you watch the Torchwood Bloopers he will see how when he is not acting he speaks scottish.
@@antiqueinsider Born in Scotland. Raised mostly in the US.
Actually, he's Scottish-American, because he may have been born and lived his early childhood in Scotland, but he moved to the US when he was 8, and spent the rest of his childhood there. The American aspect of his nationality is just as if not more important than the Scottish part.
@@peterlewis2178 I know all that but if you check out his Doctor Who or Torchwood Outtakes he speaks with a proper Scottish Accent. As he does in some of his An Audience With work. He has Dual Nationality but as he said, He is Scottish First.
I don't think the budget could stretch enough to do too much international travel lol
Lmao, it doesn't very well look like it. "Where's today's location?" "Well we went over the doughnut budget again" "Looks like London it is then"
For Classic Who it was always a quarry in Wales.
Except when it was Lanzarote or Amsterdam or Seville.
@@TheEclecticBeard ready to hide behind the sofa....again...clutching a merlot or five....😊😄😄😄
Yee, for a box that can go anywhere and every when, it spends A LOT of time in London and Wales.
When I was growing up, these episodes scared the fuck out of me
I can rightly see why. This one was a bit unnerving.
London is the centre of the universe EB, didn't you know that? If it didn't happen in London, then it didn't happen. lol
Don't worry the face of Jack Harkness will be around for a long time
i see what you did there...
So many other heroes busy saving all the big American cities ( many played by Brits) poor old Doctor Who wouldn't get a look in .I loved your reaction every thought that was going through my head came back as it did when I.first saw it . Great use of the 2 parter and the war setting . Of course Captain Jack , played by the effervescent John Barrowman had to be American . Well acted and written by future forerunner Stephen Moffat .

There are some really amazing episodes in the pipeline, but for me this 2 parter is up there with some of the best 👌
Been waiting for this thanks beard!
You have actually already met Captain Jack in an earlier episode, but will have to wait quite some time before that is explained.
Jack Harkness played by John Barrowman, born in Glasgow, Scotland moved to the USA when he was 8 years old with his parents, that’s why he has an American accent.
Jack Harkness works for Torchwood. It was an Institute set up in the U.K. in 1879 for fighting alien threats.
Jack is like the Doctor, he can’t die.
Spoilers - sweetie
@@grabtharshammer yes spoilers sweetie.everything after works for torchwood should be ignored,forgotten,dissapeared.
This is a good episode. I can't wait until you get to Blink.
Don't. Even. Blink!
That’s the brilliance of Dr Who, it starts with lots of unanswered questions, then it scares you, then it makes you laugh, then it throws a curve ball with captain jack, then it all comes together but leaves you wanting more.
It's hardly a mystery if they explain everything in the first 5 minutes...
This and Blink were my two favorite episodes of the rebooted Dr Who.
Forgotten his name the guy who catches the girl, you said you seen him in lots of stuff, he was in Torchwood a spin-off of doctor who
Hey man. I'm a Scottish pinball wizard. I was directed to your channel for some reason. Still game kept me entertained! I have laughed so much at your videos!

One of my favourtie storylines, with I think some great clever wirting as the first part does indeed raise a lot of questions which are fully answered in the 2nd. Loved your reaction. Cannot wait for more. (get watching, you have many, many episodes to watch:p)
The bloke playing the dad/butcher in this episode is in the Basement Jaxx 'Where's Your Head At' video.
The fact that these 2 episodes predicted an pandemic 15 years before Covid and patient 0 is Jamie is pretty good story telling.
'physical injuries spread like a plague.'

Was waiting for more of a spooky one than the charles dicksens gas ghosts for you haha
This is the episode that i always remember from when i was younger proper horror vibes
I found these episodes really disturbing, when originally aired. 😵💫
Are you my mummy?
That's the model clock face that the alien ship smashed into earlier. We took a few more frames before the impact.
Paaatience EB, lol, you're gonna give yourself high blood pressure. I love your reactions so much, and when it's one of my favourite shows ever, even better. Watching it with someone who gets it all is just the best. ❤
It`s the intrigue generated by the baffling beginnings of an episode that makes Coctor Who so brilliant.
Well, now you met the character I was letting you know about back in the Dickens episode. Didn't that get interesting? 🙃You will probably have to mingle watch the two shows at some point or quite possibly lose you mind completely! 😉Some one left a list in here and it's not bad from a first cursory glance.

The whole concept for this particular monster of the week is really cool.
The old 60s & 70s Dr who, all alien planets looked like an old disused open pit quarry.
I think that the reason why you have the feeling of knowing the actor playing Captain Jack Harkness, is probably because he is primarily a singer and dancer who has appeared on American television in “Dancing With the Stars “as well as several stage shows and musical’s the USA and he is also a very Loud and Proud advocate for gay rights.

TORCHWOOD WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!
Love Captain Jack!!
Glad to see you enjoyed this... and welcome to the writing of Steven Moffat... He's a fantastic writer and you'll get used to looking forward to his story every season.. And then after a few seasons he takes over the show and you'll notice the difference. And Jack? Well... Jack's Jack.... If you don't love him already, you soon will.. And I'm assuming you'll add Torchwood to your show's viewed...
I do not envy your job of having to cut these down for you tube, Captain Jack reappears from time to time and is the lead character of the spin off series Torchwood.
Hey EB, if you were an Alien race and had a choice of the US or UK to make your first contact ... which would you choose 😁😉
look out for a gas mask and the phrase are you my mummy in a later season.
This was second in creepy vibes only Weeping Angels was creepier
Steven Moffatt, the writer who creates the really creepy episodes. His best is yet to come!
The girl who played Nancy works on the kid's youtube channel ZinniPops with her husband.
well there is a war on, surely you miscounted? XD gets me every time
Yes Dr Who was strange at times and it was (as a young person) very strange, but I guess that is my most of us entering our Teenage Years at the time was hooked on it.
Your next mission Mr Electric Beard , if you chose it, is to follow and learn all about Captain Jack in the Torchwood series. Torchwood is an anagram of Dr Who.
0:50 this has been my main issue with the show's revival, especially Russel T Davis' era.
Of all the universe across all time pretty much every episode was centred within the same 200 years of Earth / England
Also it was around the time these episodes aired that it was outed Christopher Ecclestone would be leaving at the end of the series. The stories at the time being he had a bad falling out with one of the higher ups behind the scenes (proven years later to be Russel himself).
However I don't think David Tennant was ever announced as the new Doctor until he was revealed in the regeneration scene
Glad your enjoying Doctor Who both classic and revival, EB. Thanks again for the great content
Also these were pretty much instantaneously considered the episodes of the series, maybe with exception to the Dalek episode.
Even 20 years later it's virtually law in the UK if someone's wearing something resembling a gas mask one has to say "are you my mummy?"
This is my favourite Dr Who episode from the new era. Fun fact, the child is the son of an actress that used to star in Grange Hill in the 80s 👍
which actress?i watched grange hill in the 80's
@@sarablack2547 Alison Bettles. She played Fay Lucas.
Who I incidentally had a MASSIVE crush on 😂
@@bluesmachine1006did she have straight blonde hair? She sounds familiar.
You just met a recurring character. Father Jack...no wait...
Fantastic reaction 💯👍👍🤘🇬🇧🤘
You shouldn't have entered that blue box.. that's on you.. Love your stuff I've been binging it.
Well, focusing so many episodes in the locals is for saving on the budget that would otherwise be exhausted on extensive scene sets. Btw, not mad, just thought I'd put that out.
Hi E.B., I`m glad you enjoyed the story, although you certainly got frustrated early on. I can`t say it affected me in that way when I watched it. I`m surprised you didn`t seem to notice Rose`s unhelpful tee-shirt when daggling from a rope, in the middle of a German air raid. You will notice stories written by Steven Moffat, can be often unsettling.
Fair warning: while they are rare, THREE PARTERS AND A TWO PARTER WITH TWO MASSIVE PARTS INVOLVED, are a thing.
Just wait until you see what happens next,!!!?
This episode is absolutely bananas!
Don't drop the episode it's full of potassium 😂
Excellent reaction, both parts together, brilliant,
"oh damn, now i feel forced to watch another episode, i must know how this ends?" :)
John Barrowman appeared in TV series Arrow.
Yeah I looked it up after I reacted. I knew I had seen him and I was watching Arrow from the jump because I was excited that Green Arrow was finally getting a bit more recognition cinematically than had been previously done since he's such an interesting character.
I cannot wait for your reaction to "Blink"
Get ready for Jack!
THIS was my favourite episode! 👍🏻😄 ohhh hang on…..Blink…….School Reunion… ermmm….no more spoiler episode titles! 😮Just saying that THAT was just ONE of my many favourite, favourite, repeat repeat…. episodes! *satisfied and smug smiley here*
