I can't believe you noticed the Mr Copper reference. I have rewatched these episodes multiple times. Only in the last few years did I notice someone else point it out.
Same!
I never noticed it until this episode!
I've seen it so many times too! lol
I was thinking the same thing. Jules, if you read this, I concede that you are a better Doctor Who fan than me. I now go to hang my head in shame.
I am amazed
I have watched these episodes 20 times and didn't make the connection.
0:25 "oh no... all the milk!" is hands down my favourite thing anyone has ever worried about in a doctor who finale
🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE IT!!
@@julesreacts10:25 I met her shes SOOOOOOOOOOO hot and nice!
"Cloms gone. Who would want Clom?" I don't know about you but I find the idea of the planet of the abzorbaloffs going to war against the Daleks pretty funny
Raxacoricofallapatorius might miss it once its orbit goes wild.
Imagine if the abzorbaloffs could pry the dalek casings open and absorb the daleks 😂
@@lacko623it could result in Dalek hybrids like we saw Dalek Sec become part human.
My main memory of this episode is swearing quite loudly when that Dalek shot the Doctor and somehow getting away with it despite both my parents being in the room because by this point it was accepted in our house that I was overly emotionally invested. I was about 12 at the time.
Fun fact, Wilf shooting the Dalek with the paint gun was not in the original script. Bernard Cribbins, Wilf's actor, phoned the writers up and asked for it to be added in for no other reason than he really wanted to fight a Dalek with a paintball gun.
I love that 😊
I'm sure his character did something similar in the Peter Cushing film, and the Dalek's line about "My vision is *not* impaired" was also a callback.
@@simongiles9749 There’s also a similar incident in a seventh doctor episode where a dalek says my vision is impaired when the doctor threw a hat over its eye
Producers: "So, Russel T Davies, how many callbacks and easter eggs do you want to have?"
RTD: "Yes."
It works so well though
Back when he liked and respected the fans.
@shawnurch8755 Stevie boy wonder was overindulgent with them.
The utter terror from Sarah Jane upon hearing the daleks is so powerful. Hats off to Elizabeth Sladen for that performance
I think you're the only reactor I've seen who had noticed the reference to Mr Copper. He clearly put his money to good use
The devastatingly serious way she played those moments always hit hard. For at least a few moments, the show isn’t that campy timespace romp it often is. It’s not that she’s just scared of some sci-fi monster, she’s existentially, immediately terrified for herself and her child.
She is just amazing, isn't she?! I really want to see her on Classic Who at some point. She's brilliant.
@@julesreacts- Sarah's run on the show was really great. She met many aliens and visited a mixed bag of time periods with the Doctor. She also appeared in one of the most iconic Dalek stories of all time in 1975, so she knows them of old.
@@julesreacts She witnessed the daleks' creation.
@@julesreacts At the time this season ran, she also had her own spinoff, The Sarah Jane Adventures, that was made with younger viewers in mind; some of its characters were in these episodes
Remember way back in season 1 episode 6, 'Dalek', when the Doctor described the creator of the Daleks to Van Statten? Calling him a genius, the king of his own little world...?
Well, meet Davros, the father of the Daleks.
When i first heard his voice, watching this for the 1st time, it still makes giddy knowing the true villain is back, and better(?) than ever
Even without watching the original series, his reveal sent chills through me
I love the running gag of Harriet Jones introducing herself. Everyone seems to know who she is.
and jack being flirty. two great gags
Welcome to the ultimate cliff hanger episode.
Three shows combined. Doctor Who + Sarah Jane Chronicles + Torchwood
Then all the "companions" have returned...
And Everyone is dying or under attack...
Lucky you, you don't have to wait a week or more to see the next one.
Not to be that guy, but Sarah Jane *Adventures*
@@Hexagonal_Goblin Fair. They never aired this side of the pond (that I know of) and thought it looked wrong... probably combined "Sarah Jane Adventures", and "Sarah Connor Chronicles" and got... garbage.
@@canadianicedragon2412 And the singer from Garbage was in...
The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I remember back in '08 the whole country was holding their breath on this cliff-hanger. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was wondering what would happen next. It was the hardest week for all Doctor Who fans
Your genuine heartbreak over ten regenerating, the fact your not spoiled about anything basically which leads to that more sincerity in your reactions, your attention to detail (one of the few reactors who actually remembered mr copper, and the bees disappearing for example), your investment in the story and all going on, you joy in other moments where joy is the natural response, Jules you’re a brilliant reactor, i cry and smile along with you. Loved this reaction!
And as for doctor who no longer being your happy place to go, there are always those moments Jules and always remember there is so much to learn from the sad and happy times in doctor who and as Dumbledore said “happiness can be found even in the darkest times”.
Fun fact; the Shadow Proclamation scene was originally going to be a much larger epic call back; they had planned a massive crowd sequence in which almost every single alien creature ever to appear on the show had shown up to demand answers about the missing planets, including the Adipose, the Krilitane and the Slitheen. They were even going to have the now happily adopted child Margaret Slitheen have a brief speaking appearance (and got as far as recording her lines).
A lot had to be cut due to time and budget limits, but even so it's pretty obvious that Russel T Davies was grabbing every single continuity reference he reasonably could for this finale.
if olny RTD could write like this again
@@davidcrazyrides He's not stopped writing as he did before. Yall need to learn to cope
@@charliechar__ his writing is absolutely shocking lately they new series is nothing like the previous. It's never felt less like doctor who as it has now.
@@charliechar__ "Cope" with what? If everything is the same then what are you telling us to "cope" with exactly?
Great self-report.
@@AveryHyenacope with the fact that it’s you that’s changed not RTD
I was 9 when this episode first aired in 2008, I remember THAT cliffhanger being all anyone talked about for a whole week at school, and everyone around the country was the same, it was the front page of some newspapers, the longest week of my life! 😂 Great reaction Jules! Can’t wait for the finale reaction 😊
The very best of Dr Who all in this episode
i was 13 at the time and it blew my mind
I was 6 at the time, and honestly it was crazy lol it was on BBC news and everyone was completely shook
I've watched this episode so many times but for some reason hearing Harriet Jones say, "Oh, you know nothing of any human. And that will be your downfall." made me teary-eyed. The way she goes out is so respectable.
She is a true hero 💜
Saw a theory that she didn’t actually die. She had a secret trapdoor in her floor that she fell through instead!
@@matttv94 not a theory, but said directly by the showrunner. So its technically canon.
@@alextrill1746 ah I wasn’t sure. Thanks for confirming!
@matttv94 As I recall it was a short poem in a book RTD was working on, that book was technically the first appearance of the 13th Doctor and possibly the 15th
This episode was all everyone talked about for the whole week. It's was on the news, in papers, all over school playgrounds. 😂
I read that England was like, "WHAAT???" :)
yeah, I bet!!
Yes it was! We could not believe it! I still remember the sheer horror I felt of hearing the Daleks along with Sarah Jane!! The ending of this episode is a core memory for me haha
Jack’s gun is the one he made all the way back in S1. I love little details like that.
Typically it's widely known in advance that a Doctor is leaving and who the new actor will be by the time it actually airs - they'd kept this a complete secret. I remember that the various fan forums exploded that night. ^.^
That cliffhanger ending was the longest week in my life to find out what happened
This was the Infinity War for Doctor Who back in 2008.
IT SO WAS!!!!
@@vegtaprince this hit so much harder than infinity war
It’s one of the only cliffhangers I remember discussing with people who weren’t massive Doctor Who fans
@@___CHICKEN___ Oh I know. The week long wait was as painful as the year long wait for Endgame.
Honestly as a child I cannot explain the feeling of excitement to see a Dalek inside the Torchwood Hub (yes I know I shouldn’t have been watching torchwood as a child) and Luke Smith from Sarah Jane adventures hiding from the Daleks. Just iconic
My favourite thing about this episode is the Daleks saying "we know who you are" XD
And how could anyone be ready to say goodbye to Ten? Never ever!
Never, ever, ever! I refuse 😭
There is a harriet jones reference in the game Vampyr too that was great
I don't think anyone wanted him to go
The scene at 16:29 (if I recall correctly) was altered in David Tennant's version of the script. I believe his didn't include Rose, but everyone else's did. So when Donna said "Why don't you ask her?" that's a genuine smile from a coworker who knew his best friend was there. Tennant's reaction was authentic to seeing Billie.
I'll tell you something, this episode was absolutely mind blowing to me when i was younger cause i watched all three shows Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood. This was like Avengers 4 years before the Avengers movie. As a kid it blew my mind and how many names were in the opening credits lol. Something i thought about is that the earth was taken but the moon wasn't so does the moon just stay where it is due to gravity or does it begin to float off. Mini thing but it crossed my mind lol. The bees were disappearing and i love that line where bees are aliens... well not all of them lol
Spoilers for Classic Who (Not sure how to bold writing on UA-cam)
The reactions of Jack, Martha and especially Sarah Jane to the daleks was very powerful mainly cause Sarah Jane was there at the creation of them with Tom Baker's 4th Doctor and met Davros.
That ending where the Doctor regenerated on the cliffhanger was absolutely mindblowing to me cause you didnt know what to think. It was absolutely wild.
Also the cast for this is absolutely nuts:
-David Tennant
-Catherine Tate
-Billie Piper
-Elizabeth Sladen
-Freema Agymen
-John Barrowman (Oh dear nowadays)
-Bernard Cribbins
-Eve Myles
-Alexander Armstrong (Mr.Smith)
-Penelope Wilton
not to mention Julian Bleach as Davros creator of the Daleks
You can *bold* a word in UA-cam comments by surrounding it with asterisks (like *bold*) -- but it can get fiddly if you try to include punctuation or spaces or even if you just put punctuation next to but outside of it. UA-cam comment formatting can be a pain.
The sadly missed Paul O'Grady's cameo was filmed on location of his TV series The Paul O'Grady Show
Since you started this series there’s been 2 moments I’ve been looking forward to your reactions in this series, this is the first. How transparent you are with your emotions is just so real to witness
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoy the episodes 💜
he is so right....
My favourite episode ever, this is THE crossover. After the unbelievable cliffhanger, the week between this and episode 13 felt like an eternity, the week was full of speculation on who the next Doctor was, it was on the news and everything haha it was mad. This era of the show was total hype!
It was JUST SO GOOD!!
5:49 Ideed! The Daleks tried to steal the Earth in the old show. This was the Season 2 story "Dalek Invasion of Earth" with the First Doctor. If you ever see old pictures of Daleks rolling up and down the bridges of the Thames River with Parliament and Big Ben in the background...Yep they filmed it! And yes, that was how gonzo popular Doctor Who was by that time in the UK.
Bravo! I was wondering if I was going to have to mention it.
Thank you for saving me the effort of typing it up. They finally completed their plan using the same device to collect the worlds.
The bridge in question is Westminster Bridge
@@10thdoctor15 Not a resident of the UK, Thanks!
The Daleks hadn't moved the Earth in that story though. I thought it was a reference to the first story in the Trial of the Time Lords arc (since the Time Lords had that whole business with Ravalox in The Mysterious Planet back in season 23 of the classic era).
@@sparshjohri1109 The Daleks were attempting to move the Earth, as the Doctor said to Donna.
19:53 The story of Sarah Jane and her son Luke are told in the tv show The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures which ran for 5 Series. Technically 4.5 Series since Liz Sladen passed away from cancer during filming Series 5. The computer on the wall "Mr. Smith" is also a regular on the show. The spider on Donna's back from the Turn Left episode is agent/tool of one of Sarah Jane's primary villains , The Trickster.
What an episode! It's a testament to the writing that so many characters can feel fleshed out and work so well together on screen in ways that we sincerely care about. Well done for noticing the Mr. Copper reference! Can't believe you've now met Davros too -- a total maniac.
That regeneration took everyone by surprise. I was 14 at the time and was so depressed about losing Tennant😢
11:45 yes!
16:45 this is why donna is my favorite companion.... she is just happy for the doctor, her friend, that he and rose found each other again.
that smile, clearly showing, she is happy for him....
David Tennant as the Doctor traveling with Donna. Forever. There’s a lot of us who would put that on our wish list! 😢
Wouldn't it be just perfect 🥰
"Have you got a webcam?"
"She wouldn't let me. She said they're naughty."
Sarah and Davros meeting again is epic for old timer Who fans. This whole episode is just a gift (and a kick in the gut) for fans.
One of my favourite stories in all Doctor Who from seeing all the companions and their such complete fear and hopelessness at the daleks especially Sarah Jane to the return of the daleks and Davros! It was also cool as someone who was a child watching this seeing Mr Smith and Luke from The Sarah Jane Adventures. I still get emotional at that final scene all these years later.
Gosh this episode is so emotional ! Gutted about Harriet
This and Journey's End are my favourite Doctor Who episodes
What an amazing catch I've watched this episode several times and I never knew the Mr copper foundation was supposed to be like the guy from the Titanic episode
A heads up that Catherine Tate & David Tennant (& in one story Bernard Cribbins aka Wilf) have recorded a couple of boxsets of full-cast audio dramas with sound effects for Big finish called The Tenth Doctor Adventures. Boxsets 1 & 3 are on the Big Finish website (boxset 2 was David Tennant & Billie Piper aka Rose & boxset 4 was David Tennant & River Song (Alex Kingston) & Spotify has boxset one.
Donna becomes a queen!😂
I get so nostalgic for this episode, it was such a massive deal when it aired. It was front page on every news paper, everyone was talking about it. I was only 9 at the time and that whole week at school was just everyone speculating about what was going to happen and who the next doctor was going to be. Good times.
This episode, oh man, if only you were there when it aired. It was a MASSIVE deal. Words don't describe it enough, you just had to be there.
Yeah, I bet it would have been INSANE!
Ok just realizing you update these whenever I get out of therapy, and it's a nice cool down. So thanks 💌
This is the best cliffhanger in the whole show. Crazy. You have finally met the creator of the Daleks. He has been mentioned in series 1,2 and 3. Well not mentioned really but The Doctor has told you about him.
He was mentioned in series 1 and 3, but not 2.
I don't know if you remember but around this time the bee's actually were dissappearing in real life and they just decided to incorporate it into the story.
They did the same for climate change in the finale of series 2.
The casual interweaving of real world headlines was what really made the first RTD era quite so good.
They're still declining, as far as I know. The news outlets just don't talk about it anymore. Various efforts are being made to help them flourish again, like the "bee roads" scheme here in the UK, but I've lost track of progress.
Were disappearing?
@@YourBeingParanoid [NODS] Not literally vanishing (as far as I know!), but simply not showing up in such large numbers as they used to. There are, declining numbers of bees in the UK and elsewhere... In particular, the kinds of bees that we rely on to pollenate lots of our food crops, which is bad news for our future food security.
It's relatively easy to persuade people to breed and raise honey bees, because they can make money from the honey. It's much harder to persuade people to help the many other kinds of bees, as the benefit is much less immediate. And we don't need them mass-farmed in small locations; We need them out and about in the countryside, travelling the length and breadth of the country, carrying pollen from one field to the the next and the next and the next. With more and more land old farm land and wild land being built upon, they've tended to get stuck in small islands of accessibility, with no way to get across to the next "island" (if they try, they die of hunger or exhaustion en route).The "bee roads" scheme involves planting suitable food&rest plants for them all along our country roads (and not just along the B-roads, either! =:o} ), so that they have a viable way to travel around the country using the same routes as motorists.
yesssssssssssss - torchwood sarah jane adventures and doctor who! the REAL greatest crossover/cometogether in tv/movie history :P
Excellent reaction Jules!
As it's already been pointed out, nice catch/call back to Mr. Copper!
This is my favorite two parter, you're in for a treat with part two (my opinion).
I really enjoy your reactions to Doctor Who, your journey with this show has been entertaining and fun!
The Daleks have always been my favorite Doctor Who villains, going all the way back to Tom Baker, the 4th Doctor (David Tennant as the 10th Doctor is my second favorite).
You're spot on about the emotions this show brings out, just when you're laughing, all of a sudden they pull on your heart strings.
Keep up these great reactions and many blessings to you and yours!
Bradley!! Thank you so very much for your incredible support 💜 Knowing you enjoy the videos so much means the world to me. I truly hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!
When I watch your reactions I get to experience this show all over again. You are the best 🤩
Thank you, Johnny! I'm so glad you're enjoying the episodes 💜
Jack was at Torchwood and Sarah Jane was seen on the Sarah Jane Adventures set.
My favorite season finale. Davros was also in my favorite Tom Baker episode "Genesis of the Daleks".
Absolutely Genesis of the Daleks and The Pyramids of Mars are my favourite!
Crisps? Tick. Pop? Tick. New Jules Doctor Who vid? You know it. Now this is the good stuff! The fear when he heard Davros' voice for the first time in who knows how long - chills. Next to the Master, he's the Doctor's biggest individual enemy. Even If you don't show it, you have to watch Genesis of the Daleks with the 4th Doctor and Sarah Jane. Classic story, classic Doctor, and a classy companion.
This is a good double parter too.
A good cliffhanger, reveals of the other shows connected to Doctor Who (Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures).
I love how the minute everyone hears the Dalek's they just know there is no winning.
Don't know if you heard the name of the Dalek in the destroyed case but it's Dalek Caan (the one that escaped in the Dalek's in Manhattan episode).
Wilf: You wanna swap?
I love him so much.
HARRIOT JONES!
I love how you remember her because I remember being like 'wait who's this lady?' UNTIL she said her name then I'm like 'OH!'
I love how she gives up her life, goes to show that while she may not agree with The Doctor she trusts he'll save the Earth.
I love how even the Daleks know who she is XD
Davros is an old Doctor Who villian and creator of the Daleks (I think, don't quote me on that because Classic Who I know little about).
The Doctor and Rose together again!
Only to be shot in the heart (literally).
You have the luck to just keep watching, WE HAD TO WAIT A WEEK!
People everywhere whispering about who the next Doctor will be.
Legit it was a big thing.
Mr Copper - what a great get Jules. Practically nobody spots that.
Love the denial from Jules at the end. Heartbreaking moments!
It's becoming a problem, especially with TV shows!! I don't want to be sad for nothing, so I have started to live in denial instead 😅😭
@@julesreacts it's extra heartbreaking for your audience who know what's coming. i;m thinking Who and Buffy atm :O
Hey Jules, we feel your pain. As others have said I remember seeing this episode when it came out and thinking holy crap this can not be happening! It's so brilliant to see everyone again - Rose, Martha, Jack, Sarah Jane, Harriet Jones and of course our number one star- Wilf and just as we're cheering the team on - bam, there goes the rug from under our feet. Great reaction as always, tissues and all :)
This was actually the first episode of Doctor Who I ever watched! I was so confused, missing all the references and I had no idea who anyone was, but I was hooked.
YOU ARE A CHAMP!!! I've only watched this 100 times and I never got the Copper reference! WOW!!! THANKS for this!!!!
My absolute pleasure!! Mr Copper, wasn't he amazing 💜
@@julesreacts so gronded and normal among all that other stuff that happened...
a house, with a garden...... while he could have done whatever he would have wanted with that money....
Sarah Jane doesn't just "know"... She was there at the birth of the Daleks.
Now you DEFINITELY need to watch The Sarah Jane Adventures to find out who Luke, her son is, and Mr. Smith, the super computer is and how he has so much power.
Donna Noble met Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith and Martha Jones and Sarah Jane Smith and Luke and Jackie Tyler and Captain Jack before
Ooh boy, there's a lot to unpack here! But first of all, good job catching that Mr. Copper reference. I've watched this episode dozens of times, but I've never picked up on it.
Now, it's important to note that Season Four was Russell T. Davies' (the man responsible for reviving Doctor Who) final season as showrunner (he'd do a series of specials in 2009/10, but this was his final full season), so he really wanted to tie his whole era together. That's why there are so many returning characters and references to other episodes. Apparently he originally wanted the Shadow Proclamation to be filled with aliens from his era, but they didn't have the budget for it. It's hard to describe just how epic this felt at the time, especially with since it crossed over with Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. This was 2008, so pre-MCU or Arrowverse, so it felt so unique.
The role Harriet Jones plays here was actually originally meant to be occupied by Donna. RTD had hoped they'd be able to get Catherine Tate back for this role, with the idea being that Donna travelled the world and set up the Subwave Network. However, when Catherine said she'd actually like to do a full season, they jumped at the chance to make her a companion. RTD considered filling her original role with a descendent of Joan from Human Nature/Family of Blood, before someone else in the production team suggested Harriet Jones. They pointed out that she needed a third appearance to give her a redemption arc.
Now, Davros. Davros is the creator of the Daleks, first appearing in the Fourth Doctor story, Genesis of the Daleks. Here, the Time Lords sent the Doctor, Sarah Jane (hence her recognition of him) and fellow companion Harry, back in time to stop the Daleks from being created. He then went on to appear on every Dalek story for the rest of the classic run.
When the Doctor says that someone tried to move the Earth before, he's referring to the Daleks' second ever appearance, The Dalek Invasion of Earth. It's a hugely popular and important story that sees the Daleks occupying Earth in the 22nd century, attempting to remove the Earth's core so they can put an engine in and pilot it around the universe. It and the Daleks' first story were both adapted into movies starring Peter Cushing as 'Dr. Who'.
This is such an epic two-parter and I'm so glad you enjoyed the first part, even if it broke you at the end. Sorry, but that regeneration is one of the moments I've been eagerly waiting for you to get to. That's only the second time that an episode has ended in the middle of a regeneration and it's the first time that it's happened in the middle of the story.
I am so psyched to see what you think of the finale Jules! Eek!
A couple of things about the episode:
Eve Miles played both Gwen and Gweneth (from the unquiet dead) they are related.
5:46 is a reference to a First Doctor serial where the Daleks tried to extract the Earth's core to turn it into a spaceship.
Mr copper was supposed to be in Harriet's place. The actor declined. Giving us more Harriet.
Stephen Moffet hated that Harriet died and asked Russel to revise her. In expanded media Russel wrote that Harriet fell through a trapdoor and rode a Moped to safety.
Russel confirmed this to be true.(Do with that with you will.)
Meet Davros: my favorite staple villain of the series.
First appearing in 1975, Sarah Jane's friend shot Davros's hand off that's why it's a metal hand.
How are Gwen & Gwyneth related? I ask, being particularly fond of Torchwood’s Gwen. One lingering disappointment I have is no storyline ever emerged where Gwen had occasion to step into the TARDIS. Just to see her reaction. A short trip optional. But it wasn’t to be… 😢
Omg 11:42 you caught on immediately!
When i was a kid i swore this was gonna be the next bad wolf/torchwood/mr saxon/rose returning bees and planets - hidden clue for season 5 but nobody was talking about it!
Jules really does seem to be like one of the most intelligent people I've ever seen on UA-cam. She's so brilliant she could be a Companion.
@@christianschoff2490At the very least, I'd say she's got the *right kind* of intelligence to be a companion. After all, we've got The Doctor for booksmarts, what a companion needs most of all is emotional intelligence and an eye for the tiny little details that The Doctor misses.
Judoon from Doctor Who series 3 Smith and Jones
My favourite episodes of dr who ever😊😢 remember ‘mad’ Dalek Khan he has met the doctor a few times…I felt your pain at the end 😢
Elizabeth Sladen's acting in the scene where the Daleks send their message gets me every time, the way you can see the horror on her face and how she cries while hugging Luke.
instantly tearing up... if you know her, she has seen some real bad things with the doctor and came through, her, in instant terror, just by hearing that voice and word.... shows the $hit just hit the fan....
Man I've been waiting with baited breath for you to get to this two part story. So many lines of time combined into this story. More than anything Harriet Jones return was the big jaw dropping moment for me. Hated to see her go out like that, but she proved the doctor wrong as well, despite what she did she was right to want to protect the earth because he cannot always be there at the right time. Old gal went out like a boss. SOOOOOO GOOOOD!
Was a bit annoyed of about Rose being petty about Martha and not being on the call.
Totes coll that you made that connection to Mr Copper. I always thought that was the name of one of the men the Sigarax's killed in front of her in the xmas special. But you hit the nail on the head J-bird. Seriously please apply to write for the next season of Dr. Who, we need someone with your skills at the helm.
Davros! Some of the best episodes of "classic" Who (4th Doctor) were the series including Genisis of the Daleks. This is when you are first introduced to Davros.
This is honestly the best crossover, everyone and evrything comes together, in the history of TV. I was 8 years old when this aird on TV and I loved every moment of it and still do to this day! Seeing everyone come back, even harriot jones is just amazing. The only thing that would have made this episode even better is if we got a name drop of River Song.
This episode has so many characters in it, it's crazy. Eventually I did watch Torchwood, but when this came out I hadn't seen it yet. I'm looking forward to you getting to see the next episode! Whenever there's more than one part, I always just want to see you react to the next one, but I'll have to wait! Thank you for these as always!
Man that was such a shocking cliffhanger, i remember when i watched it the first time and i was wondering who was gonna be the next doctor. Also they did the whole avengers team up before the avengers movie even came out lol
That's the episode I was talking about some time before in terms of watching an arc from the classic era. Usually they either explain the enemies or simply introduce them anew, but for some reason with Davros they just kinda forgot about it, but at the same time not only Doctor remembers him, but Sarah Jane does too, which makes it really weird for the new viewer (for me at least). Even more so, in the new series the Doctor actually refers to Davros several times when he describes the creator of the Daleks, but never by name until this episode.
In case you want some information and you're not planning on watching "Genesis of the Daleks" from the classic era, here's a quick rundown:
It's the Fourth Doctor's era, he's wildly considered the most popular and iconic of them all, Tennant is a close second. His companion at the time is Sarah Jane Smith, the same that is in this episode, but 35 years younger, she's also considered one of the best companions of all the eras, so this is literally the golden match. The plot is that the Doctor is sent back in time by the timelords to the Dalek planet of origin, Skaro, with a mission to stop their creation before they take over the universe. There is no "Time War" in the classic era, so the Daleks are literally just the Doctor's arch-nemesis - the ultimate race of racists who want to exterminate everything that isn't a Dalek. On Skaro there's a thousand year long war going on, with nuclear strikes and chemical warfare, and there the Doctor meets Davros - a scientist without moral code (looks about like in this episode, but with his chest still intact), who's working on a new warfare machine to win in the war between the nations on the planet. Turns out that it's not exactly a machine, its a person that is very inhumanely experimented on, with evolution from the nucs and chemicals additionally sped up and twisted by Davros, turning his people into the squids we know and love and putting them into the classic metal cases. This is the first, but not the only time the Doctor meets Davros, and in most of those cases Davros is basically described even by his actors as "Hitler meets Stephen Hawking". He not only twisted the evolution of his people, but he also deliberately infused them with pure nazi fascist ideology, to turn them into controlled ruthless killers. However, by the end of the episode, while the Doctor contemplates where he can decide who's to live and who's to die, the Daleks go mad on their own and refuse to take orders from Davros, because - yeah, he's not a pure Dalek. Still, he pops up from time to time to rebuild this race when they are for some reason almost extinct.
Stay strong - we each have had to face losing "my Doctor" at some point. For me, it was 8th June 1974 - I'm over it now, mostly. The show goes on and you find new things to love, without ever losing that attachment. I love the gathering of the Doctor's allies here - I imagine the impact was slightly enhanced by me having followed both "Torchwood" and "The Sarah Jane Adventures", but it obviously meant something to you anyway, as I hoped.
I recently learned that harriot jones former prime minister actually survived in a audio book
That is awesome!!
@@julesreacts It makes her growth and sacrifice for nothing.
When this was broadcast in the UK, people were placing bets at shops on who would be the next Doctor. Robert Carlyle was in the lead.
Love your reviews on doctor who massive fan of this show
Thank you!!
The Absorbolof from Clomb, sister planet to Raxicoricophallipatorious. The expectation subversion in this episode was brilliant. For those of us who were watching the spin off shows at the time, this episode, this two parter and the re-emergence of Davros from the Time War itself was mind blowing. The fact that Bad Wolf in the moments it existed in Rose Tyler changed so many branches of so many possibilities, is brilliant writing.
If I had a bad dream about Daleks and Cyberman and weeping angels
One of the best reactions I’ve watched to this episode ! Check daily for this buffy and angel 😭😂
It seems normal now but to have multiple shows in the same world come together, all the previous seasons and the spin-offs, in this massive finale was insane pre-avengers. And that cliffhanger!
A crushing episode. So much tension, so much happening, the feel of hopelessness is so intense. Good writing as always. There is one loophole i am considering: if the earth was taken from its coordinates, was it taken alone or together with the entire array of satellites? Because otherwise, global communications would not work. Anyway, minor detail...This show is so good and i promise you it will keep getting better, at least for quite a while.
Here we go. - my two favourite episodes. Happy Wednesday x
Ah, yes! Doctor Who. The show that will make you laugh and cry (and sometimes all at the same time). Welcome to the rollercoaster!
Love it when the whole gang gets together. Whenever there is a new regeneration, everyone has the same feeling of not wanting a change yet. It is this episode where they are wanting to draw you into the Torchwood realm, and the Sarah Jane Adventures, and you may not realize it yet, there are some Easter Eggs.
It’s so great seeing you so invested in everyone’s storyline! I’ve recently been rewatching the Sarah Jane Adventures which I’d put off because I wasn’t sure it would hold up from my childhood but honestly if you ever need something Who that’s lighter to watch I would definitely recommend it. Elizabeth Sladen makes me emotional but seeing Sarah Jane find a life and a family for herself is so heartwarming now watching as an adult. I can’t wait for the next episodes reaction!
Hi Jules 🙋♂ ... I am crying with you 😢!!! I was crushed when you realized what was happening but, be brave. You will get through this, and the sun WILL shine again ... sooner or later. Man, I wish this was next week, so I could see your next reaction🙃😉❤.
And people said Avengers: Infinity War was the most ambitious crossover of all time!? Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures beat them to it!
I love this finale, so much fun getting to see everyone come together to face the Daleks!
Remember back when you first met the lone Dalek in Henry Van Statten's museum, The Doctor told Van Statten that the Daleks were genetically engineered by "a man who was king of his own little world," right? Well, now you've met the man himself, Davros!
Good on you for catching basically all of the callbacks and references in this one! The bees, The Shadow Proclamation, The Medusa Cascade, Mr Copper, the Lost Moon of Poosh... you even remembered Clom! Impressive stuff!
And then there's that cliffhanger! I was 11, and let me tell you, the UK broke for a week! Everyone went mad wondering who the next Doctor was going to be since they hadn't announced a successor to Tennant yet. There were some insane theories being thrown around!
Back when the pandemic started, there were Doctor Who Lockdown watchalongs. The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End wasn’t the first, but when it did happen, Zoom had already blown up. So watching the Subwave Network scenes very much had a “look how far we’ve come” vibe
I'm glad your finally watching this story arc of Doctor who, this is Dr who verision of Avengers Infinity War/Endgame before those movies even came out. Also the Actors who Gwen & Ianto also voice two Elven characters in Dragon Age games. Eve Myles who Plays Gwen voice Merrill in Dragon Age 2 & Gareth David-Lloyd who plays Ianto voice Solas in Dragon Age Inquisition & upcoming Dragon Age Veilguard/Dreadwolf.
I had thought the species that 'tried to move the Earth before' were the Time Lords. Line still works.
LOL "Can we have David Tennant as... the Doctor forever?"
I've heard it said many times that if David Tennant had his own way - YES - he would have stayed in the role forever! :)
I think he could easily have done another season.
In the classic era, the most famous Doctor was played by Tom Baker. He stuck around for 7 seasons, and it was too long. It really was... It did not do the show any favours ultimately, because you ended up with an entire generation of kids not knowing about regeneration, but also - Well, as AMAZING as Tom was, there really is only so long you can carry the huge energy you need for this role...
Doctor Who a happy show? What? Who said/told you that?? 😂😭
I really had NO idea what I was getting in to 🤣🤣
there are quite a lot of happy moments in the show, but you will have to fight, to get to them....
or as Madame De Pompadur said: " one could endure a world full of daemons, for the sake of an angel"
3:34 Heres a glimpse of the Torchwood team. Unfortunately due to story events, its just the three of them, but Ianto and Qwen are still such sweethearts ❤
The Run that is what sums up this episode for me, rose and the doctor running towards one another at the end.
When I watched that scene for the first time around in the spilt second of the Dalek showing up in slow-mo, I thought the Dalek was going to get rose and as rose being my joint favourite companion I was freaking out then I doubled freaked out when the doctor got hit.
Even tho it's emotionally hard that the doctor was hit and has to change ( I'm putting a positive spin on a negative bit of the story here) at least the doctor will be alright with the regenerative circle.
If the Dalek had got rose, she would have been gone, no coming back which I emotionally would have been done with this show if that had happened, but rose is good, the doctor will change and that will be emotionally hard but ready for the final episode of this series it will be an emotional rollercoaster of an episode.
That cliff hanger. And your crying *hugs* It is such a big gut punch having Rose and The Doctor reuniting only for him to be shot by a Dalek.
But yes! SUch a good episode and calling back and bringing in on the plotlines and spin off shows
Wow, WHAT A REACTION VIDEO!! Bless you Juliette you sweet girl. It's wonderful to see how much you care about these characters. It's taken me right back to when I first saw this SHOCKING cliffhanger. No one saw this coming! That's why it's best to avoid spoilers so you have no idea if and when the Doctor will change. Looking forward to the next one! :-)
My pleasure!! I'm so glad you enjoyed 😊
One of the biggest cliffhangers in New who, it was talked about non stop all that week leading up to the next on radio and even on the main news headlines, new who's peek popularity in my opinion
I would like to point out that the Dalek which shot the Doctor is the only Dalek ever to exterminate the Doctor. Too bad it was destroyed immediately after, he would have been revered by all the other Daleks but they never even find out about it.
The luckiest Dalek in the universe… and immediately the unluckiest.
That’s Tommy Knight as Luke Smith, Luke is Sarah’s adopted son, a 13-14 boy at the time of his introduction in The Sarah Jane Adventures, if you want to get to know Luke & Mr Smith,
(the super computer voiced by comedian/game show host Alexander Armstrong,) you’ll have to check out the Sarah Jane Adventures.
Tommy was an age appropriate casting for the role of Luke over the Dawson casting that you see in movies and tv shows, (casting older teens and adults to play younger characters to skirt by child labour laws.)
You NEVER EVER get rid of the Daleks, they ALWAYS find a way to
I was always interested that the TARDIS didn't translate the Judoon language for Donna.
That bloomin Jason Statham rumour that Tennant would regenerate into him this episode…
🤣🤣🤣
I cracked up at you calling out Harriet Jones before she said her name 😂😂
Her voice is so distinct! And she's introduced herself SO many times, we should remember 🤣
Jules, I absulutely love your reactions and I look forward to them every week 😊
Trust me, what's coming next will be fantastic... absolutely fantastic... 😉
Thank you!! I really hope you enjoy the next episode!
