Who’s happening…
…always/anywhere/anywhen.
9 saying “No” to the Daleks and them getting completely flustered by it and then confused/scared when he says he’s coming to rescue Rose is one of my favorite Ninth Doctor moments 🙂
I love that ❤
Yep - that and the "everybody lives" moment are the main ones that stick out for me.
@@arch1017 the pure joy from "everybody Lives" makes it the unparaleled top moment for me...
@@Metzwerg74 Same, the way Eccleston played it you just know how rare those moments are for The Doctor.
Daley version of Oh F! What did we just do?
When this aired the BBC only had the budget for three full size Daleks, which is why there's usually three in each shot. For the scenes with more they used a combination of mirrors, CGI and toys for wider shots
A part of me finds that cooler. Learning how inventive people used magic tricks and ingenuity to make something bigger than the materials provided.
It'll be a shame in a way, as tech advances and that fades.
LMAO I forgot US Big Brother is so diff to UK that you wouldn’t notice it in the way it’s immediately recognisable to me
I often wonder how confused non-UK viewers would be by the emphasis Rose puts on "The ANNE-droid?"
@@Mayeur000DonzThey shouldn't in 🇺🇸 because Anne Robinson was the US host for "The Weakest Link" as well
@@fleason771 She was? Huh.
Was The Weakest Link well known over there, tho? Did it ht a cultural note like something like Jeopardy did?
@@Mayeur000Donz It ran for 3 seasons originally on NBC to good ratings but dropped off in S3 so no it didn't quite hit the heights of "Jeopardy" at the time.
In 2020 it got a reboot on NBC/Peacock hosted by Jane Lynch & still on today. It's currently in hiatus until May 20th 2024 when it will begin a new run with a celebrity special with the stars of "Days Of Our Lives"
Talking of "Jeopardy" coincidentally it came back again to Britain!! 🤯 Hosted by Stephen Fry it had a run in early 2024 (much to my shock) on ITV but I don't think it cut through to the British public so I wouldn't bank on it returning here
@@Mayeur000DonzYes, it was! The Weakest Link with Anne Robinson in the US version was a very big tv ratings winner in America for a time, just like Hells Kitchen with Gordon Ramsey was for a while.
The music at the beginning is the music used for all seasons of Big Brother in the UK. So everyone in the UK who watched this episode would know he was in the Big Brother house.
The featured game shows were all big at the time this aired in 2005: Big Brother (which was on Channel 4, not the BBC, hence the 'You are live on Channel 44000' line by the show's actual presenter Davina McCall, along with its iconography and theme tune), The Weakest Link (presented and voiced by Anne Robinson, hence the Anne-droid) and What Not to Wear, presented by Trinny and Susannah.
This episode is bonkers. "What is happening?!" is an entirely valid response.
The three shows were based on reality shows on in the UK and other countries in the 2000s. The Doctor is in Big Brother, where a bunch of people lived in a house and one got voted out each week. It was huge at the time. Rose is in The Weakest Link, which worked exactly as shown and was hosted by Anne Robinson, hence the Anne-droid. Jack is in What Not to Wear, which was a makeover show where people got fashion advice, a new wardrobe and new hair and makeup but no scary plastic surgery. The fashion advice was actually good, but could be a bit blunt at times. They also mention Ground Force which was a garden makeover show.
Fun fact: The droid hosts of the shows were played by the hosts of the real-life shows and are named after them.
This is why i love the Doctor. No weapons, no back up, no plan. And that always unnerves his foes. Some, the smarter ones, will run when you mention his name. Im glad you're enjoying it.
That’s not the first time that the Doctor has had a mug shot taken.
Always happy to see new Who fans enjoying the Ninth Doctor, he's criminally underrated even though he's the guy who essentially made Doctor Who cool again.
Exactly right.
I've watched a lot of Doctor Who reactors over the years, and I can safely say that the sheer joy, sense of wonder and genuine investment in the stories and characters that your reactions bring puts you right at the top of the list as the best DW reactor I have seen. Please keep reacting, you are an absolute pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much!!
Agreed
Yes - a brilliantly written episode. Great fun, great danger, great mystery, stunning reveal, plus (almost) tying up the bad wolf loose ends. And great acting too - e.g. the look on CE's face when he thinks Rose has been disintegrated.
The two-part finale to this season was a lot of fun, I'm glad you're enjoying it. BTW I don't know how long ago you got your hair done like that but you look lovely!
Thanks!!
You mentioned Torchwood. So when this series of Doctor Who was being filmed. To hide the tapes. They labeled it as Torchwood, to hide it from people looking for spoilers or to steal it....
Its also an anagram for Doctor Who.
This was actually the first Doctor Who episode I ever saw lol
And so... we have reached The Parting of The Ways.
"Where were you hiding that?" "Ladies, you really don't want to know." ROFL!
I miss the first season.
The production team originally intended to show Jack's naked buttocks on screen. The scene was shot, but the BBC's editorial policy department stepped in and vetoed it, the only time they over-ruled the production team during the 2005 series it also wasn't considered appropriate for a family viewing.
It's something that this episode still has the power to shock almost twenty years on.
Oh I do so love Bad Wolf Girl :)
DOCTOR: No.
DALEK: Explain yourself.
DOCTOR: I said no.
DALEK: What is the meaning of this negative?
DOCTOR: It means no.
DALEK: But she will be destroyed.
DOCTOR: No!
DOCTOR: Because this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to rescue her.
DOCTOR: I'm going to save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet
DOCTOR: And then I'm going to save the Earth, and then, just to finish off, I'm going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!
DALEK: But you have no weapons, no defences, no plan.
DOCTOR: Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death. Rose?
ROSE: Yes, Doctor?
DOCTOR: I'm coming to get you.
I love that scene, one my favourite 9th Doctor moments. You can see how serious he gets when the Dalek's are involved and one of his friends is in danger.
I also love that despite there being half a million Dalek's, he's on his way to save Rose. Their friendship has grown so much. Can't wait for you to react to the next episode.
Glad you enjoyed the episode. The next episode, the finale, is totally wild but totally brilliant. You’ll get to find out what Bad Wolf really is.
See you picked up on the word ‘Torchwood.’ Russell T. Davies has wording in each of his seasons that you have to listen out for or look out for visually, which generally leads up to the epic finale. So Torchwood might or might not be the key word in season 2 (you’ll just have to keep watching to find out!)
So the shows are represented of the time here in the UK with the doctor in big brother, Rose in the weakest link and Jack was in what not to wear.
Also fun fact the guy helping rose up was actually in the wonka film recently as one of the bad guys
I also found out from the doctor who card that the daleks installed the jagrafess to stunt the human growth so that means they were there then too although probably less numbers. Once the doctor stopped that they had a backup plan
I love these two episodes. So much.
The Controller is very reminiscent of Samantha Morton's precog character in Minority Report.
Take a drink everytime Emme says "what's happening?" in this episode and you will ended up drunk. Also, Captain Jack was amazing in this one, gotta love that whole moment with him and the androids, it was pretty funny. Loved the reaction and I can't wait for the finale!
Not to mention, "Do I look like an out of bounds kind of guy?"
I have refreshed a few times for this one 😅
My favourite 2-parter in all of Doctor Who😃
Story 10/10
Acting 10/10
Music 11/10
I think the TV shows used for the first half of the episode do date this one more than most other episodes, but the crux of what the episode is about is strong enough that it doesn't matter really.
This two-parter is one of the better S1-4 finales, imo.
So yeah, all the shows are based on real programs from the time: The Doctor on Big Brother (back when people actually watched it), Rose on The Weakest Link (with the famously unpopular Anne Robinson) and Jack on What Not To Wear.
the show rose was on is called the weakest link and the host was called Anne Robinson - so they made the robot the Anne-droid xD
What a fun reaction! I was sure Rose was dead and Lynda with a Y would be the new companion.
Yeah that big brother house that The Doctor was in is a real thing here in the UK
And the one Rose is in is a real one too in real life, I’m not sure about Jacks one
Trinny Woodall & Susannah Constantine, What not to Wear, BBC, five series. 2001-2007
Hi Emme!😊 The host of the UK version of "Weakest Link" was Anne Robinson as in Anne-Droid.😉 In the old days the TARDIS would automatically go to where something was wrong in time.
Yes, that's the three states of watching Who : WTF, LOL & crying.
16:48 Lucifer is a planet from the Dr Who Novel 'Lucifer Rising' - part of the 'New Adventures ' range that began after the 'Classic' Series had ended-some of the writers, Paul Cornell,Russell T Davies,Gareth Roberts and Mark Gatiss would go on to write for 'Nu-Who'
I LOVE how you say, “raises the question,” and NOT “begs the question” at 15:47. Sorry, it’s just a pet peeve of mine when people say the latter lol.
When people suddenly realise the whole season contains a secret story and hints. Fantastic
This finale is still pretty much my favourite in almost twenty years of modern Who. I think this episode is actually under-rated, the script is constructed so well.
When we see Rose on the Dalek ship for the first time, even before we get that POV shot and the background noise of the Daleks moving, there was a clue for hardcore fans of the classic version of Who: there's a sort of repeating "wob" noise in the background, usually described as being like a heartbeat. That same sound effect was used for the interior of Dalek spaceships all the way back in the 1960s!
You weren't repetitive, your confusion was understandable. I am glad you seem to be enjoying yourself. :)
Yes "Big Brother" and "The Weakest Link" were real life shows and were a huge hit in the 2000's the host of "The Weakest Link" the Anne-Droid is based on a real person who was the host at the time Anne Robinson who also does the voice of the droid in this episode.
"Big Brother" was technically the first reality show that started reality television.
I think the Captain Jack one was a real show too - What Not To Wear, I think.
Makeovers, minus the beheading.
reality has been around since a lot longer, but hit it’s stride with and became huge with Big Brother, but it was by no means the first.
Your phrasing is appropriate. When the daleks appear, the background music is chanting “Oh mah koreh” This is Hebrew for “Oh what is happening”.
Your reactions make my day better. Thanks!
So true that Jack wasn't aware of the mavity of the situation.
Fun fact: The planet Lucifer comes from the ninetines Seventh Doctor novel 'Lucifer Rising'. Back when RTD was a good writer, he would slip things like that in, which makes no difference to the story but delights diehard fans.
9th Doctor against the Daleks! Always fantastic! Christopher Eccleston gives amazing performances.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. 😁
It’s been so long since I saw this one. So cool to feel the same emotions vicariously through you. Nicely done
You just need to say 'What is Happening?' in the cadence of the Daleks. What. Is. Hap-pen-iiiinng? :)
This is definitely gonna be Patreon worthy
I love your reactions. So realistic. I felt for you.
Prior to Big Brother airing, I remember seeing a promotional video (I can't think what else to call it), explaing what the reality show would be about. Immediately, I was disinterested. However, I knew enough about the concept that I understood this episode.
49K subs Congrats Eme!
Great episode, great cliffhanger and leading to a great season finale
Thank you to UK's Channel 4 for letting them use all the Big Brother styling complete with presenter Davina Mccall's voice.
It took me until this episode to catch onto all of the Bad Wolf references throughout the show up to that point. Cute Jack Russell Terrier!
Easily my favourite episode from series 1. It showed just how flexible the show's writing could be (dropping them into reality tv parodies). And the entire chat between the Doctor and Lynda about "Bear With Me" ... "The celebrity edition where the bear got in the bath."
You have even more Doctor Who behind you.😊
You're gonna love the next part!
Thank you, Emme! ⏳ Joe Ahearne directed this episode; he directs the next one, as well.
Torchwood is also an anagram for Doctor Who.
"What's Happening?", "What's going on?", "I don’t understand”, "I (just) don’t get it!", "It makes no sense to me!", "It’s completely beyond me!"
Fantastic to watch this one with you. Never stop saying 'what's happening' :)
Fun ways to put a deadly spin on all these British game shows. Countdown and Weakest Link are great. Countdown whether the IT Crowd episode version or the real show.
I don't know enough about the clothing one but is a funny Jack moment, don't know anything about the British or any version of Big Brother but always heard about it.
There is a Doctor Who or some other Weakest Link special episode too I remember seeing at some point I forget the guests but seen it on UA-cam it's pretty good.
The bad wolf mentions. The beam being death hmm. Nope teleportation.
I don't usually care for these two episodes but they are a very particular angle to take the show and I go yeah they are pretty good.
I don't care for Daleks but the ways they take to introduce them are usually pretty good.
23:11 Bad Wolf with me, Martha.
"No"
Explain your self
"I said no"
What means this negative?
"It means no"
That is unfiltered doctor sass followed by the doctors true fury.
"But you are unarmed. You have no weapons. No plan."
Yeah and doesn't that just scare you to death.
I used to pray for times like this 🙏
I know what's happening--you're now a Whovian!!! LOL!!! (Well, maybe "officially" after the next episode and since you are ahead now you know why you are official!) CONGRATS and THANKS!!!
No need to apologize for repeating "What's happening" it's a regular occurrence with this show.
These two episodes are really good, and very good way to end the season. Well, before the Christmas episode, at least.
Nearly all gameshows mentioned in this ep are real british shows,
Countdown, Deal or No Deal. It's really interesting when people not from the UK have no reaction to them.
Doctor is on Big Brother
Jack is on Not what to wear
Rose is on The Weakest Link.
Cool reaction👍
We need a R2D2 vs Dalek rap battle (might be kind of difficult though because R2 just beeps) but I'm here for it
There is still the mystery of what "Bad Wolf" is!
Exactly
Synonyms for "What's happening?"... "WTF is going on?!"... It's an acronym AND a synonym (Does that make it an acro-synonym?!)
The end is nigh! Daleks, and ships, oh my.
Soon the reason will be revealed... and it is life or death for everyone?
From here out things get weird the TARDIS is way more important and we get the 11th Doctor my doctor tenet
What's happening!? What's HAPPENING!??
This episode is a what the heck is happening. Might have helped if you knew British game shows. The next episode is one of the best ever.
They are all real shows. Weakest link, Big Brother, I don’t know the name of Jacks.
❤😂
You gotta drop the next one now 😔
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
❤🙏🙏
Why CAN’T droids have chests?
The Daleks are like William Afton, they always come back
Time travel rules time lords only get 1chance with the TARDIS she is tempomental and the TARDIS is a woman
To go properly meta, try to find the episode of Weakest Link with the Doctor Who cast...
Captain jack ain't ever met a woman he didn't like, human, robot, creature don't matter to captain jack torchwood season 1 is a huge tie in spin off with captain jack
I'm surprised you've never heard of big brother because it's massive or the weakest link we'll unless you have bbc America the weakest link was on that
Anne Robinson also hosted the short-lived American version of "The Weakest Link" which ran on NBC in Prime Time from April 2001-July 2002.
Jane Lynch currently hosts a revival of the American version on NBC.
“Season 1”. Nah.
