this is a good comment and i really dont want to have to say this but he would done the entire speech for the last one and been punching the wall the entire time
Well, he wasn't expecting a different result. He was counting on the same thing to happen over and over until he brute-forced his way through little by little.
just think: Every skull is The Doctors skull, just as those clothes drying by the fire is his, placed by his previous him. Food for thought: At one point, there was a naked doctor running around.
Te clothes were different than his usual ones. The clothes were put by whoever created the prison, because every room returns to it's original state, INCLUDING THE ONE WITH THE CLOTHES.
+Tatiana MT Because it's not part of the castle, it's the interface between the Confession Dial and the outside world. Also, this is my explanation for how the resetting works: Everything resets except external additions to the dial, which is why the skulls accumulate over billions of years rather than being cleared away every time the castle resets (Or maybe the ocean just doesn't reset), and why the clothes he leaves on the rack stay there until the next copy of him comes along (Which means he either went through naked one time. Well, either that or he found himself a towel or something), and also why the portrait of Clara (Which I think was confirmed to have been painted by the original version of the Doctor to be imprisoned in the Dial.) continues to age despite the room around it resetting. An alternate explanation for the azbantium wall not resetting is that the Time Lords didn't think it would need to rest. Think about it; the wall was 400 times harder than diamond, and took 4.5 billion years for the Doctor to punch his way through. My guess is that the Time Lords thought he would just find the wall once, realise it was 400 times harder than diamond, and confess about the Hybrid so he could get past it and leave the Dial on his first time through. Even if they did know it was possible for him to exploit the reset mechanic to reload himself from the teleporter, they probably thought he would give up and confess anyway before he stayed there long enough the break through the wall.
The thing about the music was that it was more of a montage that helps you gloss over what this really is: Torture. With it removed... You see it over and over hammered in. This is hell. This is him being tortured and tortured over and over again with no end in sight. There isn't any music to distract from that.
Agreed. I was about to leave a comment saying it’s much more impactful with the music, but after reading your comment and REALLY watching this scene, it hits so much different without music. The Shepherd’s Boy is beautiful and one of Murray Gold’s best (which is saying something), but I never realized how hopeful it was because the context of it was the Doctor suffering for billions of years. I only saw how hopeful it was while watching this after reading your comment. Not to say the music doesn’t help make this scene perfect, but without it, it’s just so painful to watch the Doctor keep going through that. One of the many reasons Doctor Who is the best show around.
@@gregjenkinson7512 Yesn't. When watching the episode, once the Doctor arrives at the "diamond mountain" and recalls the word "bird" written in the sand, the fable of the Shepherd's Boy comes to his mind and he realizes everything, that he is the bird sharpening the beak once every hundred years. That current incarnation has not spent billions of years in the Confession Dial but he understands that there have been billions of Doctors before him who all have done the same actions and all have come to the same conclusion. And like those Doctors, it was now his turn to chisel away at the unbreakable wall for as much as he could until the specter of death caught up to him, to send him limping and hobbling back in agony to the "teleporter" at the beginning of it all, to give his life for the next Doctor to come. He doesn't "remember" doing all of it but he does "understand" all of it happened.
@@PlutoDarknight a fair point but my comment was in regards to what the original person said; that the Doctor was basically being tortured over millions and millions of years. But truthfully he wasn't, even though he might understand what has happened before the version of The Doctor that makes it past the crystal wall did not live through those years or remember what the others had gone through. So it's not really torture
Once upon a time, there was a little shepherd boy who had the reputation of being incredibly smart, folks said that he had an answer for just about everything. One day, the king heard about this and called for the boy. He wanted to find out for himself because he could scarcely believe that a mere shepherd boy could be as smart as all that. When the boy appeared before him, he told him that if he could answer three questions, he should henceforth live in comfort in the palace and be as his own son. "What are your questions, Sire?" the boy asked. The king replied: "First, tell me how many drops of water there are in the ocean." The boy thought for a moment and said: "Sire, have every river in the world dammed so that no drop can run off into the ocean before I have counted it, then I will tell you how many drops of water there are in the ocean." Said the King "The second question is, how many stars are there in the heavens?" The boy asked for a huge sheet of white paper, a quill pen and a pot of ink. He then proceeded to dot the paper, one fine dot almost on top of the other, until the whole sheet of paper was covered. This he took to the king and told him that after he had the dots counted, he would know how many stars there were in the heavens. But that was a feat no-one was able to accomplish, just looking at the paper made everyone quite dizzy. Then the king had one more questions of the child: "How many seconds are there in eternity?" And the boy replied: "In the hinterlands of Pommerania, there is a mountain made of the hardest diamond. It's one hour deep into the earth, one hour up toward the sky, one hour long and one hour wide. To this mountain comes a little bird, once every hundred years, to sharpen its beak. And when this bird has worn away the whole mountain, the first second of eternity has passed." The king realised that he had indeed found a person of great wisdom, and from that day on, the little shepherd boy lived in the palace in great honour, becoming a trusted friend and advisor to the king.
You know the shepherd boy doesn't really answer any of the questions. He just avoids them with clever rhetoric. Don't know if that's wisdom or just being a smooth talker. Either way it was a wise decision of the king to enlist him as his advisor. Kings have need of people who have a way with words. Especially when upstarts and pretenders try to usurp him. :P
One of my favorite things about Heaven Sent is how it adapts the story of The Shspards Boy. The King seeking knowledge - The Timelords seeking information. "How many drops of water are there in the sea?" - The Doctor escapes his first encounter with the veil by diving head first into the sea. "How many stars are there in the sky" - The Doctor uses the stars to work out how much time has passed since Clara's death. "How many seconds in Eternity?" - I mean this needs no explanation.
I like the little detail about how the Doctor is cut off mid-sentence while punching through the wall, but gets to say just a little bit more each time as the mega-annums go by because he's put just that little bit more distance between himself and the creature.
I find this more interesting, since, if this were actually to take place, there would be no music. Well over a billion years of silence and the sound of flies.
Anthony Pirtle What does go on in the Doctor's mind - don't try to answer that. Actually, it'd be the same music, since the episode implies that the Doc is repeating everything in his timeline word for word and action for action. The only deviations exist with his comment on the time passage and the end scene.
I think when he says he can 'remember', he just means that once he's seen everything, he can imagine how every previous iteration's life went. Kind of like if you see a knife in someone's hand and someone else dead on the floor, you can imagine what just happened.
''Actually, it'd be the same music, since the episode implies that the Doc is repeating everything in his timeline word for word and action for action. '' +Nathaniel: And that would make him predictable, which is why I don't buy this episode.
Well, when you think about it, all he remembers is one time through the one cycle, he just keeps noticing that he’s travelled forward in time from the point where he started, so to The Doctor it’s been, what, a day? It’s just been billions and billions and trillions of days, but he keeps reverse-Groundhog Day-ing it. The days pass, but he only remembers the one. He just keeps seeing clues as to what he must do, and knows time has passed the long way round, but to his mind he’s only experiencing the same day over and over again, but doesn’t remember it.
@@rogueplanet7776 Given that he has definitely figured out the cycle by the time he starts punching the diamond, it must be said that he was setting up a parting one-liner he knew he would only finish after BILLIONS OF YEARS. (Granted, once he started making enough of a dent his hooded 'friend' had to take a few more steps to reach him the work probably sped up substantially.....well, for punching through diamond.) Also, that poor hooded bastard had to wonder just what he was going on about for all that time (as it is apparently the same clockwork menace, going through the motions because it is, well, clockwork instead of 'resetting' like the Doctor).....and he only finished after the poor thing fell to pieces.
@@rogueplanet7776 I personally think (or choose to think) he DOES really remember all of the iterations, at the end. Some combination of telepathy and time energy (remember he can sense/remember paradoxes because of time energy from the time vortex) lets him connect to the memories after his "AHA!" moment, when he realizes how long he's been there. As in, as soon as he "reaches" for the memories, he has them. I think it's cooler and better explains his reaction, but yes I'm reaching a bit, lol. Also, it's definitely more than one day per iteration. There's a time skip when he's running around, but it gives me the impression that weeks go by each iteration.
Me too I wouldn't give up either, my teachers wrote stubborn on my school reports, and at this moment I'm fighting the vicious and suspect benefit system that is trying to say that I can work when I can't even tie shoe laces in a bow or work a computer mouse.
you missed the start of the punching the diamond wall speech - "I'm telling you nothing. Nothing at all. Instead, I'm going to do something far worse. Argh! I'm going to get out of here, and find whoever put me here in the first place, and whatever they're trying to do, I'm going to...stop it! Argh! But it might take me a little while, so do you want me to tell you a story? The Brothers Grimm, lovely fellas... They're on my darts team. Argh! According to them, there's this emperor and he asks this shepherd's boy... "How many seconds in eternity?" You might think 4 billion years is a hell of a long time to tell a story - PERSONALLY I think that's a hell of a bird
“... I’m the Doctor. I’m coming to find you. And I will never ever stop.” Doesn’t that sound like Liam Neeson from “Taken”? Forget the “particular set of skills” because the Timelords know him, and they ask for his help sometimes. In my mind, I can also hear: “I will look for you. I will find you. And I will kill you.” (as a Liam Neeson/The Doctor mashup) I know he doesn’t kill, unless it’s a Timelord that’s not in their last regeneration.
This gives you a good idea of the scope of the Doctor's abilities. How many millennia has he spent doing various things we don't know about. Heck, every time he goes into the Tardis without a companion, for him, a million years could have passed before he next sees them again.
I think that was shown in one episode. A little girl and something in her wall was it? He spoke the immortal words 'Ill be back' she waited 20yrs? For him it supposedly was 5minutes.
At multiple points in the show he says he's over 2000 years old (assuming Earth years, not Gallifreyan.) If a million years pass, it's because he's popping around time in the TARDIS.
You have to keep in mind every iteration was a fresh copy of the Doctor, the way he was transported in. Not worn down, nor hurt. From his own perspective, he spent there only, what, a day, two?
After a companion died once he just traveled around in the Tardis for hundreds of years till he found the next companion. I forgot which one, sorry, but I remember they said that in one of the episodes. I think it was when Amy Pond died but I'm not sure.
DBZ fans know the struggle. IIRC, it took them literally 3 full episodes to build up the spirit bomb to kill Kid Buu. That's a whole hour to build up ONE attack.
That episode was really great. It was kind of funny, very scary and clever. Number one episode from season 9 so far. If I could reset myself like the Doctor did, I could watch this episode for 4.500.000 years.
In this episode, yes. He says 2 billion years. But in the next "Hell Bent" one of the sister reveals that he spent more than 4.5 billion years locked there
I've never even seen the show; but after looking up a bit of detail to get context for this episode, I think it's damned intriguing. The whole concept, basically a rogue-like for the Doctor. And I find the lack of music so perfectly adds to the creepiness and other-worldliness of the idea of eternal repetition.
As someone who didn't see it for years and then had a friend force them to try Doctor Who, you should really try Doctor Who. The best selling point is that the show soft reboots every 4-8 years, if you just started with the new show, you are virtually never expected to know shit from Classic Who, if you just jumped straight into matt smith(11) or jodie whitaker(13), you won't be expected to even remember shit that happened to previous doctors. Whereas One Piece(amazing show, don't get me wrong) demands that you understand enough callbacks and references that you have to watch everything from the beginning, Doctor Who encourages you to jump around. And the canon doesn't matter, it only matters if you enjoy reconciling different facts from different eras into making sense, but thats only for fun.
There was once a once upon a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every question. The King of the country heard of it likewise, but did not believe it , and sent for the boy. Then he said to him: "If you can give me an answer to three questions which I will ask you, I will look on you as my own child, and you shall dwell with me in my royal palace." The boy said: "What are the three questions?" The King said: "The first is, how many drops of water are there in the ocean?" The shepherd boy answered: "Lord King, if you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up so that not a single drop runs from them into the sea until I have counted it, I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea." The king said: "The next question is, how many stars are there in the sky?" The shepherd boy said: "Give me a great sheet of white paper," and then he made so many fine points on it with a pen that they could scarcely be seen, and it was all but impossible to count them; any who looked at them would have lost his sight. Then he said: "There are as many stars in the sky as there are points on the paper; just count them." But no one was able to do it. The King said: "The third question is, how many seconds of time are there in eternity?" Then said the shepherd boy: "In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles high, two miles wide, and two miles deep; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over." The King said: "You have answered the three questions like a wise man, and shall henceforth dwell with me in my royal palace, and I will regard you as my own child." - The Shepherd Boy, from The Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. "YOU MIGHT THINK THAT'S A HELL OF A LONG TIME... PERSONALLY... I THINK THAT'S A HELL OF A BIRD!!!"
God, that opening statement by him gives me chills. Just the fact that he truly means it when he says he'll never stop coming to find the people who killed Clara. His words become so much more impactul during the course of this episode, because every version of him except for the last one hacked away at that diamond wall knowing they'd be dead long before they could ever finish. I also think that final version was able to remember all the times he's died on some level, or at the very least he put it all together. Time Lords are all about summit knowledge, shared histories, and shared sufferings and I've no doubt he never would've stopped even if he had lived long enough to hack away through that wall in a single life. Alien psyche guys; his brain isn't even remotely human and I've no doubt his determination, resourcefulness, and ability to cope with billions of years of isolation defy our current understanding of human psychology. Any part of him that is human is likely taken to the same absurd level as the other aspects of his Time Lord Consciousness.
"To this mountain comes a little bird, once every hundred years, to sharpen its beak. And when this bird has worn away the whole mountain, the first second of eternity has passed." This just boggles the mind.
My favorite seasons: 4, 7 and 9. 9 was so amazing, Capaldi is such a great, great actor and he acts the Doctor with so much passion. I just love him. The speech in Zygon Inversion was one of the most iconic DW moments. Amazing!
Capaldi was(and is) glorious. It was Moffat's writing and the ever-increasing virtue signaling that make Capaldi's run hard to watch. I'm all for a bit of progressive thinking now and again, but you have to have some tact and suavité in the delivery. During the Capaldi run, Moffat deviated from the more even hand of the Smith years (and the near artistic morality of the Davies Era) and drifted into increasingly ham-handedness. Still better than Chibnall and Whitaker, though; they don't even try to stealthily insert ideas and values...it's all brute-force, preaching, and shaming.
The season right after clara was not to my liking. I mean the quality has always been inconsistent, but i personally think it took a dive after hell bent heaven sent
@@zglrd8938 There is an element of truth in what you say without a doubt, but in the hands of a lesser actor it would have been a disaster. It was Capaldi's brilliance that prevented it being absolutely terrible. However Chris Chibnall has come along to demonstrate what terrible really is.
If you really think about it, what we're hearing in this video is what the Doctor might have experienced the whole time he was in the confession dial. As the audience/viewers, we were able to listen to great works of symphonies from orchestras. But, for the Doctor, the sounds he could've only heard were the screeches made by the Monster, the flies that surround it whenever it comes nearby, and the distant sound of the open ocean. That in of itself is terrifying to fathom, so for the Doctor to go through this for 4.5 billion years really makes you admire his dedication and willingness to sacrifice his sanity to save his friend.
the actual story goes as following : There was once upon a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every question. The king of the country heard of it likewise, but did not believe it, and sent for the boy. Then he said to him, if you can give me an answer to three questions which I will ask you, I will look on you as my own child, and you shall dwell with me in my royal palace.

Well, he was only there for a couple hours I think before he walked up to the wall and punched out of there. Technically to him, he was in a four and a half billion year coma before he had to punch a hole in a wall that was already almost broken... so take that as you will.
4 billion years is how long it took the doctor to punch through what i assume is about 20 cubic feet of something stronger and harder than diamonds. helluva bird indeed.
+Jo Zap If anything, it gives you an idea of what it was like for the Doctor. 4.5 billion years of silence, his own company and the sound of approaching death.
Great job! This makes me think that it would have been interesting to have all (or at least the majority of) this episode without music. The silence really emphasizes the isolation of the Doctor and adds to the eeriness of the story. I know that in some of my favorite video games when the music stops and all you hear is the sound of your footsteps, it means some serious crap is about to go down.
I will say, the one thing that I didn’t like about this episode, is that it’s implied that the doctor never thought to hit the wall with the shovel instead of just his fist.
I wish that too ! For now though, I can recommend this by the INCREDIBLY talented Connor Hickling. He is a true artist - ua-cam.com/video/WgG5V7LWaGs/v-deo.html
How fantastic is peter......we see the finished product including the epic music .....but clips like this show how much peter puts into the part ... must be exhausting
If you think because this video has dislikes it's bad, then you understand very little. If you are one of those dislikers, and you are not afraid, then you understand nothing at all. So for your own sake, understand this. I'm Jamma77. I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop.
Tardis Guy shut up. this episode is bad, it ruins one of the best plots ever, and it only features like 20 actual minutes of program, the rest is just repeat.
As Oswin Pond says, this really shows how much Murray Gold does for the show. The whole thing sounds wrong without the soundtrack. Also, well done on getting the audio split so cleanly!
+Sam Dulledge I don't know, without music it does add some suspense to let us appreciate what the doctor feels like, and it is easier to hear the sound effect. Fun to watch.
So even though He was there for Billions of Years, Each incarnation was only there for a few hours at most. Not Isolated for long in the grand scheme of things.
still imagine the agony of knowing and understanding that if you dont punch through the wall on this try you will die alone and in pain with many many regrets
I like the fact that he spent a couple million years to widen the tunnel to have enough shoulder room, 2 feet of headspace and a flat floor. He is quite the perfectionist :)
I’m going to have to leave a reminder for myself to watch this episode whenever I am feeling down, or like there is nothing I can do to change the bullshit that is always flying my way. If one keeps at something long enough, and never loses their determination, never fully gives into despair, and always has a goal in mind; they can move mountains.
Do you reckon you could do this for: 1. The speech in hell bent where the doctor forgets Clara 2. The speech that river gives to King hydrolaxes body in the husbands of river song about loving the doctor. 3. The scene in the witches familiar where the doctor is doing a speech saying he wants Clara back to the supreme Dalek. I know me and a few people would like to see these happen, give a comment back for me to say whether you can do it or not? Much appreciated.
Hope you don't mind, but ive been using a few videos of yours (well audio) for a my latest video on my channel, would be great if you could check it out sometime! :)
Siddarth Arcot This is a trap of Timelords. I think going a few minutes backward doesn't matter whatever the room contains. Also, if they can reset the wall, I think one feet, no, one inch of 400x diamond wall was more than enough
No time was reset. The teleport used to put him there has his 'imprint' and 'remade him' at the arrival point. It's not time resetting. Time marches on, It's just a new Doctor each time. Thats why he finds the skull. His skull. And why he finds the dried clothing of the doctor before him. And why when he falls into the water, he can see the millions of skulls, Of every version of him that came before. Time doesn't reset. Time marches on, It's the doctor that is replaced each time. It's an eerie concept
I'll reckon the easiest explanation is that each punch is too small a difference for any thing to be reset, like the touch of a fly. Hence why it took so incredibly long.
"If you because She's dead that means I'm weak, you know very little. If you had anything to do with killing her and you aren't afraid, you know nothing at all"

This was hands down the best episode of television I have ever seen in my life. Sad that it was followed by one of the most underwhelming finales of all time...
This is already a pretty common joke but… Respect to the probably millions of Twelfth Doctors who died punching out corners to get that perfectly rectangular tunnel out.
If you watch this and start listening to the song "Time" in the Inception Soundtrack at about 1 minute 10 seconds into the video, it goes with it perfectly.
Has anyone noticed the first line is different from the beginning of the episode to the beginning of the speech? In the first one it's like "I'm coming to find you, and I will never - ever stop", but in the second one it's like "I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop"
"Bet you won't see this coming" jumps*
"Bruh we've been doing this for 2 billion years"

Too good tho.

Also a minute of silence for your ability to spell twelfth.
@@TheMultiGamerOfficial you got served
this is a good comment and i really dont want to have to say this but he would done the entire speech for the last one and been punching the wall the entire time

Well, he wasn't expecting a different result. He was counting on the same thing to happen over and over until he brute-forced his way through little by little.

OR that whoever set up the prison and captured the Doctor replicated his clothes after he "died" the first time.
Te clothes were different than his usual ones.
The clothes were put by whoever created the prison, because every room returns to it's original state, INCLUDING THE ONE WITH THE CLOTHES.
+Mordor's Morlord Exactly! So how is it that the diamond mountain doesn't return to it's original state?
+Tatiana MT Because it's not part of the castle, it's the interface between the Confession Dial and the outside world.
Also, this is my explanation for how the resetting works: Everything resets except external additions to the dial, which is why the skulls accumulate over billions of years rather than being cleared away every time the castle resets (Or maybe the ocean just doesn't reset), and why the clothes he leaves on the rack stay there until the next copy of him comes along (Which means he either went through naked one time. Well, either that or he found himself a towel or something), and also why the portrait of Clara (Which I think was confirmed to have been painted by the original version of the Doctor to be imprisoned in the Dial.) continues to age despite the room around it resetting.
An alternate explanation for the azbantium wall not resetting is that the Time Lords didn't think it would need to rest. Think about it; the wall was 400 times harder than diamond, and took 4.5 billion years for the Doctor to punch his way through. My guess is that the Time Lords thought he would just find the wall once, realise it was 400 times harder than diamond, and confess about the Hybrid so he could get past it and leave the Dial on his first time through. Even if they did know it was possible for him to exploit the reset mechanic to reload himself from the teleporter, they probably thought he would give up and confess anyway before he stayed there long enough the break through the wall.
The thing about the music was that it was more of a montage that helps you gloss over what this really is: Torture.

The problem is though he doesn't remember any of it.
From the perspective of the last Doctor he was only there for a few days
@@gregjenkinson7512 Yesn't. When watching the episode, once the Doctor arrives at the "diamond mountain" and recalls the word "bird" written in the sand, the fable of the Shepherd's Boy comes to his mind and he realizes everything, that he is the bird sharpening the beak once every hundred years. That current incarnation has not spent billions of years in the Confession Dial but he understands that there have been billions of Doctors before him who all have done the same actions and all have come to the same conclusion. And like those Doctors, it was now his turn to chisel away at the unbreakable wall for as much as he could until the specter of death caught up to him, to send him limping and hobbling back in agony to the "teleporter" at the beginning of it all, to give his life for the next Doctor to come.

@@PlutoDarknight a fair point but my comment was in regards to what the original person said; that the Doctor was basically being tortured over millions and millions of years.

One day, the king heard about this and called for the boy. He wanted to find out for himself because he could scarcely believe that a mere shepherd boy could be as smart as all that.
When the boy appeared before him, he told him that if he could answer three questions, he should henceforth live in comfort in the palace and be as his own son.
"What are your questions, Sire?" the boy asked.
The king replied: "First, tell me how many drops of water there are in the ocean."
The boy thought for a moment and said: "Sire, have every river in the world dammed so that no drop can run off into the ocean before I have counted it, then I will tell you how many drops of water there are in the ocean."
Said the King "The second question is, how many stars are there in the heavens?"
The boy asked for a huge sheet of white paper, a quill pen and a pot of ink. He then proceeded to dot the paper, one fine dot almost on top of the other, until the whole sheet of paper was covered. This he took to the king and told him that after he had the dots counted, he would know how many stars there were in the heavens.
But that was a feat no-one was able to accomplish, just looking at the paper made everyone quite dizzy.
Then the king had one more questions of the child: "How many seconds are there in eternity?"
And the boy replied: "In the hinterlands of Pommerania, there is a mountain made of the hardest diamond. It's one hour deep into the earth, one hour up toward the sky, one hour long and one hour wide. To this mountain comes a little bird, once every hundred years, to sharpen its beak. And when this bird has worn away the whole mountain, the first second of eternity has passed."
The king realised that he had indeed found a person of great wisdom, and from that day on, the little shepherd boy lived in the palace in great honour, becoming a trusted friend and advisor to the king.
Lisa Hoorn blew my mind
That adds so much context to this :O
You know the shepherd boy doesn't really answer any of the questions. He just avoids them with clever rhetoric. Don't know if that's wisdom or just being a smooth talker. Either way it was a wise decision of the king to enlist him as his advisor. Kings have need of people who have a way with words. Especially when upstarts and pretenders try to usurp him. :P
well the questions themselves are impossible to answer so the boy replies with impossible ways to solve them.
One of my favorite things about Heaven Sent is how it adapts the story of The Shspards Boy.
The King seeking knowledge - The Timelords seeking information.
"How many drops of water are there in the sea?" - The Doctor escapes his first encounter with the veil by diving head first into the sea.
"How many stars are there in the sky" - The Doctor uses the stars to work out how much time has passed since Clara's death.
"How many seconds in Eternity?" - I mean this needs no explanation.
Without the music it shows the emptyness to the place the Doctor was in, cold and alone in his own hell.
That pretty much sums why I do these videos - it gives a completely new perspective to the scenes !
I like the little detail about how the Doctor is cut off mid-sentence while punching through the wall, but gets to say just a little bit more each time as the mega-annums go by because he's put just that little bit more distance between himself and the creature.

Well technically speaking there where just billions of clones of the doctor. The doctor that actually got out of there only stayed a few days
I find this more interesting, since, if this were actually to take place, there would be no music.
Well over a billion years of silence and the sound of flies.
Anthony Pirtle What does go on in the Doctor's mind - don't try to answer that.
Actually, it'd be the same music, since the episode implies that the Doc is repeating everything in his timeline word for word and action for action. The only deviations exist with his comment on the time passage and the end scene.
He realizes the time by looking at the stars.
yeah.
I think when he says he can 'remember', he just means that once he's seen everything, he can imagine how every previous iteration's life went. Kind of like if you see a knife in someone's hand and someone else dead on the floor, you can imagine what just happened.
''Actually, it'd be the same music, since the episode implies that the Doc is repeating everything in his timeline word for word and action for action. '' +Nathaniel: And that would make him predictable, which is why I don't buy this episode.
“I know how to kill the Doctor! Lock him up in a living hell where he has to break a *thicc* wall made of diamond!”
Doctor: Nice try
It wasn't diamond
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 Inside Room 12, the Doctor discovers a wall of Azbantium, a mineral 400 times harder than diamond
@@brycering5989 yeah ik.
Bruh, they wanted to know what is Hybrid, not kill him. They intentionally let him resurrect himself over and over.
Technically he is dead. The doctor that’s still alive is a clone made from teleporter data
Lesson: The Doc is one persistant and *stubborn* bugger.
Well, when you think about it, all he remembers is one time through the one cycle, he just keeps noticing that he’s travelled forward in time from the point where he started, so to The Doctor it’s been, what, a day? It’s just been billions and billions and trillions of days, but he keeps reverse-Groundhog Day-ing it. The days pass, but he only remembers the one. He just keeps seeing clues as to what he must do, and knows time has passed the long way round, but to his mind he’s only experiencing the same day over and over again, but doesn’t remember it.
@@rogueplanet7776 Given that he has definitely figured out the cycle by the time he starts punching the diamond, it must be said that he was setting up a parting one-liner he knew he would only finish after BILLIONS OF YEARS. (Granted, once he started making enough of a dent his hooded 'friend' had to take a few more steps to reach him the work probably sped up substantially.....well, for punching through diamond.) Also, that poor hooded bastard had to wonder just what he was going on about for all that time (as it is apparently the same clockwork menace, going through the motions because it is, well, clockwork instead of 'resetting' like the Doctor).....and he only finished after the poor thing fell to pieces.
Rory waits 2000 years for Amy.
Doctor: *"Hold my beer."*
@@rogueplanet7776 I personally think (or choose to think) he DOES really remember all of the iterations, at the end. Some combination of telepathy and time energy (remember he can sense/remember paradoxes because of time energy from the time vortex) lets him connect to the memories after his "AHA!" moment, when he realizes how long he's been there. As in, as soon as he "reaches" for the memories, he has them. I think it's cooler and better explains his reaction, but yes I'm reaching a bit, lol. Also, it's definitely more than one day per iteration. There's a time skip when he's running around, but it gives me the impression that weeks go by each iteration.
Me too I wouldn't give up either, my teachers wrote stubborn on my school reports, and at this moment I'm fighting the vicious and suspect benefit system that is trying to say that I can work when I can't even tie shoe laces in a bow or work a computer mouse.

you missed the start of the punching the diamond wall speech - "I'm telling you nothing. Nothing at all. Instead, I'm going to do something far worse. Argh! I'm going to get out of here, and find whoever put me here in the first place, and whatever they're trying to do, I'm going to...stop it! Argh! But it might take me a little while, so do you want me to tell you a story? The Brothers Grimm, lovely fellas... They're on my darts team. Argh!

You might think 4 billion years is a hell of a long time to tell a story - PERSONALLY I think that's a hell of a bird
“... I’m the Doctor. I’m coming to find you. And I will never ever stop.”
Doesn’t that sound like Liam Neeson from “Taken”? Forget the “particular set of skills” because the Timelords know him, and they ask for his help sometimes.
In my mind, I can also hear: “I will look for you. I will find you. And I will kill you.” (as a Liam Neeson/The Doctor mashup)
I know he doesn’t kill, unless it’s a Timelord that’s not in their last regeneration.
To be fair, who wouldn't wait billions of years for Jenna Coleman?
Me!
Straight women and gay men
Lolko she's literally my celeb crush it's not funny😂😂😂
Oswin Oswald? yes.
Clara Oswald? Nah.
Yessss
This gives you a good idea of the scope of the Doctor's abilities. How many millennia has he spent doing various things we don't know about. Heck, every time he goes into the Tardis without a companion, for him, a million years could have passed before he next sees them again.
I think that was shown in one episode. A little girl and something in her wall was it?
He spoke the immortal words 'Ill be back' she waited 20yrs? For him it supposedly was 5minutes.
At multiple points in the show he says he's over 2000 years old (assuming Earth years, not Gallifreyan.) If a million years pass, it's because he's popping around time in the TARDIS.
@@nyazillagojira7079 first episode 5th season
You have to keep in mind every iteration was a fresh copy of the Doctor, the way he was transported in. Not worn down, nor hurt. From his own perspective, he spent there only, what, a day, two?
After a companion died once he just traveled around in the Tardis for hundreds of years till he found the next companion. I forgot which one, sorry, but I remember they said that in one of the episodes. I think it was when Amy Pond died but I'm not sure.
Pretty sure The Dr has never looked as badass and determined as he is here. This is another level of just pure craziness.
This is what Determined looks like. I have the TIME, I'm the Doctor.

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been or how often I watch it....his speech gives my chills
FYI: It's actually an adaption of a story by the Brothers Grimm called "The shepherd boy" :)
Doctor Who: The only show where it is possible that you need 5 minutes for like 2 sentences.
Or 4 billion years
Guessing you don't watch much anime ;)
George Dolley No not really ^^
DBZ fans know the struggle. IIRC, it took them literally 3 full episodes to build up the spirit bomb to kill Kid Buu. That's a whole hour to build up ONE attack.
IndigoMichigan Or the episode of Bleach with the 11 second battle.
Which lasted for three and a half minutes episode time.
That episode was really great. It was kind of funny, very scary and clever. Number one episode from season 9 so far. If I could reset myself like the Doctor did, I could watch this episode for 4.500.000 years.
I was confused because that's the number I remembered, but it only said 2 billion years in the video!
In this episode, yes. He says 2 billion years. But in the next "Hell Bent" one of the sister reveals that he spent more than 4.5 billion years locked there
Omega Alpha That's right! Thanks!
Soberker I agree
You forgot 3 more zeros.
I've never even seen the show; but after looking up a bit of detail to get context for this episode, I think it's damned intriguing. The whole concept, basically a rogue-like for the Doctor. And I find the lack of music so perfectly adds to the creepiness and other-worldliness of the idea of eternal repetition.
As someone who didn't see it for years and then had a friend force them to try Doctor Who, you should really try Doctor Who. The best selling point is that the show soft reboots every 4-8 years, if you just started with the new show, you are virtually never expected to know shit from Classic Who, if you just jumped straight into matt smith(11) or jodie whitaker(13), you won't be expected to even remember shit that happened to previous doctors. Whereas One Piece(amazing show, don't get me wrong) demands that you understand enough callbacks and references that you have to watch everything from the beginning, Doctor Who encourages you to jump around. And the canon doesn't matter, it only matters if you enjoy reconciling different facts from different eras into making sense, but thats only for fun.
Honestly, this showed The Doctor perfectly, willing to suffer, die, and fight for an eternity, just for one life.
There was once a once upon a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every question. The King of the country heard of it likewise, but did not believe it , and sent for the boy.
Then he said to him: "If you can give me an answer to three questions which I will ask you, I will look on you as my own child, and you shall dwell with me in my royal palace."
The boy said: "What are the three questions?"
The King said: "The first is, how many drops of water are there in the ocean?"
The shepherd boy answered: "Lord King, if you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up so that not a single drop runs from them into the sea until I have counted it, I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea."
The king said: "The next question is, how many stars are there in the sky?"
The shepherd boy said: "Give me a great sheet of white paper," and then he made so many fine points on it with a pen that they could scarcely be seen, and it was all but impossible to count them; any who looked at them would have lost his sight.
Then he said: "There are as many stars in the sky as there are points on the paper; just count them." But no one was able to do it.
The King said: "The third question is, how many seconds of time are there in eternity?"
Then said the shepherd boy: "In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles high, two miles wide, and two miles deep; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over."
The King said: "You have answered the three questions like a wise man, and shall henceforth dwell with me in my royal palace, and I will regard you as my own child."
- The Shepherd Boy, from The Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
"YOU MIGHT THINK THAT'S A HELL OF A LONG TIME... PERSONALLY... I THINK THAT'S A HELL OF A BIRD!!!"
YES!
God, that opening statement by him gives me chills. Just the fact that he truly means it when he says he'll never stop coming to find the people who killed Clara. His words become so much more impactul during the course of this episode, because every version of him except for the last one hacked away at that diamond wall knowing they'd be dead long before they could ever finish. I also think that final version was able to remember all the times he's died on some level, or at the very least he put it all together.
Time Lords are all about summit knowledge, shared histories, and shared sufferings and I've no doubt he never would've stopped even if he had lived long enough to hack away through that wall in a single life. Alien psyche guys; his brain isn't even remotely human and I've no doubt his determination, resourcefulness, and ability to cope with billions of years of isolation defy our current understanding of human psychology. Any part of him that is human is likely taken to the same absurd level as the other aspects of his Time Lord Consciousness.
The horrifying part is that he probably does, subconsciously. This was supposed to *break* him, after all. To make him confess.
Imagine this whole episode without music, it would be creepy and it would show what it's like to be the Doctor in the episode.

"To this mountain comes a little bird, once every hundred years, to sharpen its beak. And when this bird has worn away the whole mountain, the first second of eternity has passed."
This just boggles the mind.
"Tell whoever's in charge that the Doctor's back, I took the long way round."
My favorite seasons: 4, 7 and 9. 9 was so amazing, Capaldi is such a great, great actor and he acts the Doctor with so much passion. I just love him. The speech in Zygon Inversion was one of the most iconic DW moments. Amazing!
Anyone who disses Capaldi's Doctor was clearly asleep for this and most of his other episodes. He was magnificent.
David Hunt I’m not gonna lie, I had my doubts for a while, the turning point for me was The Zygon Inversion.
Capaldi was(and is) glorious.
It was Moffat's writing and the ever-increasing virtue signaling that make Capaldi's run hard to watch.
I'm all for a bit of progressive thinking now and again, but you have to have some tact and suavité in the delivery.
During the Capaldi run, Moffat deviated from the more even hand of the Smith years (and the near artistic morality of the Davies Era) and drifted into increasingly ham-handedness.
Still better than Chibnall and Whitaker, though; they don't even try to stealthily insert ideas and values...it's all brute-force, preaching, and shaming.
The season right after clara was not to my liking. I mean the quality has always been inconsistent, but i personally think it took a dive after hell bent heaven sent
@@zglrd8938 There is an element of truth in what you say without a doubt, but in the hands of a lesser actor it would have been a disaster. It was Capaldi's brilliance that prevented it being absolutely terrible.
However Chris Chibnall has come along to demonstrate what terrible really is.
If you really think about it, what we're hearing in this video is what the Doctor might have experienced the whole time he was in the confession dial. As the audience/viewers, we were able to listen to great works of symphonies from orchestras. But, for the Doctor, the sounds he could've only heard were the screeches made by the Monster, the flies that surround it whenever it comes nearby, and the distant sound of the open ocean. That in of itself is terrifying to fathom, so for the Doctor to go through this for 4.5 billion years really makes you admire his dedication and willingness to sacrifice his sanity to save his friend.
Darkest and most fascinating and mind-fuck thing New Who has ever done!
the actual story goes as following :
There was once upon a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread
far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every
question. The king of the country heard of it likewise, but
did not believe it, and sent for the boy. Then he said to
him, if you can give me an answer to three questions which I
will ask you, I will look on you as my own child, and you shall
dwell with me in my royal palace. The boy said, what are the
three questions. The king said, the first is, how many drops
of water are there in the ocean. The shepherd boy answered, lord
king, if you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up so that
not a single drop runs from them into the sea until I have
counted it, I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea.
The king said, the next question is, how many stars are there
in the sky. The shepherd boy said, give me a great sheet of
white paper, and then he made so many fine points on it with a
pen that they could
scarcely be seen, and it was all but impossible to count them,
any one who looked at them would have lost his sight. Then he
said, there are as many stars in the sky as there are points
on the paper. Just count them. But no one was able to do it.
The king said, the third question is, how many seconds of time
are there in eternity. Then said the shepherd boy, in
lower pomerania is the diamond mountain, which is two miles
high, two miles wide, and two miles deep. Every hundred
years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and
when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first
second of eternity will be over.
The king said, you have answered the three questions like a
wise man, and shall henceforth dwell with me in my royal
palace, and I will regard you as my own child.
Thank you! I was wondering how the whole story was.
I actually like this version, it really add a lot of suspense when there is no music, it lets us appreciate the loneliness of this experience.

Greatest episode ever. The metaphors and the story itself are unmatched.
One of my all time favourite episodes ever. Simply AWESOME.

4.5 billion year, Just a long walk in the woods for this lord. Thanks Dr Who. I hope some day to meet cast and crew and share more stories. Some day.
Well, he was only there for a couple hours I think before he walked up to the wall and punched out of there.
Technically to him, he was in a four and a half billion year coma before he had to punch a hole in a wall that was already almost broken... so take that as you will.
This was such a fantastic episode. Arguably the best of SM's tenure.
tmage23 no it's the worst and not just the Worst of The Steven Moffat Era it's the worst of any era
@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 lol. Fuck off.

4 billion years is how long it took the doctor to punch through what i assume is about 20 cubic feet of something stronger and harder than diamonds. helluva bird indeed.
I basically spent my evening trying to put all the epic musics I have over this ^^ thank you :D
You are most welcome ^^
This scene got me to think about it everyday since it was first released.
The editing on that montage is really quite brilliant. This whole episode haunts me like nothing else.
I liked it, but it's just not the same without the music in the background
+Jo Zap Its not the same no, but it certainly does not mean it is worse.
+Jo Zap If anything, it gives you an idea of what it was like for the Doctor. 4.5 billion years of silence, his own company and the sound of approaching death.
+Tardis Guy (A.K.A. Jamma77) This was pretty much my reason for doing this ! Great minds think alike as they say..
+TheUnknownTechnician Is it odd that I read the last part of your message in the Doctors voice ?
Yeah the music was the best bit
Its also great to see that the first time it happens in the episode we know as much as the doctor we didn't know he had done this over and over
Great job! This makes me think that it would have been interesting to have all (or at least the majority of) this episode without music. The silence really emphasizes the isolation of the Doctor and adds to the eeriness of the story. I know that in some of my favorite video games when the music stops and all you hear is the sound of your footsteps, it means some serious crap is about to go down.
amaterasuXrising Q
I will say, the one thing that I didn’t like about this episode, is that it’s implied that the doctor never thought to hit the wall with the shovel instead of just his fist.
I wish they would just hurry up and release the sound track. I want a clean cut of the song from this.
I wish that too ! For now though, I can recommend this by the INCREDIBLY talented Connor Hickling. He is a true artist - ua-cam.com/video/WgG5V7LWaGs/v-deo.html

Good news. The series 9 soundtrack has been officially announced.
How fantastic is peter......we see the finished product including the epic music .....but clips like this show how much peter puts into the part ... must be exhausting
great episode of Dr Who
Fun fact: The "seconds in eternity" speech (which begins at 3:18) is from the Brothers Grimm story "the Shepherd Boy".
If you think because this video has dislikes it's bad, then you understand very little. If you are one of those dislikers, and you are not afraid, then you understand nothing at all. So for your own sake, understand this. I'm Jamma77. I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop.
You are fantastic, absolutely fantastic.
Tardis Guy shut up. this episode is bad, it ruins one of the best plots ever, and it only features like 20 actual minutes of program, the rest is just repeat.
Anthony Madden If that's your opinion, then fine, but if you didn't like the episode they why are you commenting here to begin with?
Well said, Tardis Guy
well quoted. You are a real Tard. XD
This is without a doubt My all time Favorite episode!
As Oswin Pond says, this really shows how much Murray Gold does for the show. The whole thing sounds wrong without the soundtrack.
Also, well done on getting the audio split so cleanly!
+Sam Dulledge I don't know, without music it does add some suspense to let us appreciate what the doctor feels like, and it is easier to hear the sound effect. Fun to watch.
Wow. That was claustrophobic! Thank you for uploading!
So even though He was there for Billions of Years, Each incarnation was only there for a few hours at most. Not Isolated for long in the grand scheme of things.
no he was in there for weeks and months at a time
And he remembers it all...
Such agony, poor bird.
He does not remember all his lives in the castle. He only remembers the last one.
@@iceoriental123 imagine if he did
still imagine the agony of knowing and understanding that if you dont punch through the wall on this try you will die alone and in pain with many many regrets
Very cool episode. Mind-bending, scary, and immensely Doctor-y.
I like the fact that he spent a couple million years to widen the tunnel to have enough shoulder room, 2 feet of headspace and a flat floor. He is quite the perfectionist :)
Without the music it's got a lovely abstract quality to it :D
this episode was such a mindfuck lol
heaven sent is easily one of my favorites
Love this, thank you.
Punched through. Solid diamond for 2 billion years
I’m going to have to leave a reminder for myself to watch this episode whenever I am feeling down, or like there is nothing I can do to change the bullshit that is always flying my way.
If one keeps at something long enough, and never loses their determination, never fully gives into despair, and always has a goal in mind; they can move mountains.
Do you reckon you could do this for:
1. The speech in hell bent where the doctor forgets Clara
2. The speech that river gives to King hydrolaxes body in the husbands of river song about loving the doctor.
3. The scene in the witches familiar where the doctor is doing a speech saying he wants Clara back to the supreme Dalek.
I know me and a few people would like to see these happen, give a comment back for me to say whether you can do it or not?
Much appreciated.
Love all these speech extraction videos!
+Doctor Who Productions I'm really please, glad people appreciate what I do!
Hope you don't mind, but ive been using a few videos of yours (well audio) for a my latest video on my channel, would be great if you could check it out sometime! :)

Live, Die, Repeat. Holy shit...
I love how just taking away the music makes this feel like a horror movie.
Question that everyone has in mind, "Why does that room not be resetted?"
jungkwan Lee good question
too much energy needed to replace a material 400 times stronger than diamond
Siddarth Arcot This is a trap of Timelords. I think going a few minutes backward doesn't matter whatever the room contains. Also, if they can reset the wall, I think one feet, no, one inch of 400x diamond wall was more than enough
No time was reset. The teleport used to put him there has his 'imprint' and 'remade him' at the arrival point. It's not time resetting. Time marches on, It's just a new Doctor each time. Thats why he finds the skull. His skull. And why he finds the dried clothing of the doctor before him. And why when he falls into the water, he can see the millions of skulls, Of every version of him that came before.
Time doesn't reset. Time marches on, It's the doctor that is replaced each time.
It's an eerie concept
I'll reckon the easiest explanation is that each punch is too small a difference for any thing to be reset, like the touch of a fly. Hence why it took so incredibly long.
anybody else want to watch this whole episode without music?
thank you very much for this
"FOUR BILLION YEARS! FOUR BILLION YEARS YOU'VE BEEN WAITING TO USE THAT ONE!"
"You don't know the patience I have."
Start playing no time for caution at about 0:55, it sounds incredible.
Random realization.
That lad that followed the doctor never knew where the doctor was gonna go. Just following a path it was set to go.
This man is incredible
personally
I think that's one hell of a bird
Every sci-fi series has a "Time-loop" episode... but this was the first for me where i felt it was done right...
"If you because She's dead that means I'm weak, you know very little. If you had anything to do with killing her and you aren't afraid, you know nothing at all"
When you find that boss you can never beat
you keep trying untill you do it. Under, Over, Around or simply THRU IT.
Feels so empty without the amazing music accompanying it
best episode so far
This sort of thing could come in very handy.

Oswin Pond Often his scores can beat the viewer over the head. I love music but sometimes silence can be very effective.
could you tell me the name of this soundtrack and where can i find it?
i have not watched old-who but these 2 episodes say a lot about The Doctor.
This was hands down the best episode of television I have ever seen in my life. Sad that it was followed by one of the most underwhelming finales of all time...
One of the best episodes by far. Though without the sweeping, amazing soundtrack it takes away most of the emotion
This is already a pretty common joke but…
Respect to the probably millions of Twelfth Doctors who died punching out corners to get that perfectly rectangular tunnel out.
to be fair the doctor was basically only there once from his perspective, he wouldnt remember everyother attempt
If you watch this and start listening to the song "Time" in the Inception Soundtrack at about 1 minute 10 seconds into the video, it goes with it perfectly.

El Guiñolo he was off by 2- 2.5 billion years.
Also, he is a timelord... i know...
Has anyone noticed the first line is different from the beginning of the episode to the beginning of the speech? In the first one it's like "I'm coming to find you, and I will never - ever stop", but in the second one it's like "I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop"
Also at 1:29 he whispers this one
My favourite episode of all time and space
