Few people who don't travel with the Doctor ever see them again. Imagine what Tim must have meant to the Doctor for them to come to a memorial service to see him in his old age. The Doctor doesn't like to look back, so it must be something special to make them do just that.
One of the best episode endings of Tennant’s time imo. It’s as if The Doctor and Martha were there for Tim his whole life, protecting him like silent guardians :).
I have this theory that the Doctor knows that this will be Tim's last Remembrance, so he comes back to say goodbye. And when Tim sees him, he knows this too
Tim was the last of his generation at the ceremony and he was so happy to see The Doctor and Martha again. The poem being read described both the fallen, and from Tim's perspective, The Doctor and Martha as well.
I remember when this first came out and the number of British WW1 veterans still alive could be counted on one hand. This hits harder now some 15 years later when even the end of that war was over 100 years ago.
This is, The going down of the son. I have seen in my lifetime the last of the veterans from The War To End All Wars die, and I will likely see the last of the veterans from the war after that die as well
@@phantomfire7205 yes, the guy in the wheelchair is holding the fob watch because that’s the kid as an old man at a memorial for the fallen soldiers. Doctor and Martha attended and he saw them, just as they looked when he was a kid - because for them it has only been minutes.

Lest we forget. It's ANZAC day here as I am writing this, in honor of all of those who have gone before us, those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can be free.
I watched this scene all those years ago when it aired, and I was too young to understand it. Now I'm an adult, watching it again, it just brings me to tears. What a beautiful ending.
I watch these two episodes every year on Remembrance Day and they remain my favourites to this day. I wear the red poppy proudly for one of my family fell in the war, but I also wear the white poppy alongside it as a reminder of what he fought for: peace.
Martha, 'You don't have to fight.' Tim, 'I think we do.' My grandfather agreed with Martha, he served at the front as a medical orderly and stretcher bearer during WW1. His son, my father, saw things as Tim did; flew Spitfires with the RAF during WW2. Respect to them both and their comrades, for their service.
Good on your family, reminds me of that Peter Jackson documentary “we had a job and we got on and did it”, I’m a bit younger but had great grandads who fought in ww2 all over the place and a few great great uncles who died in ww1. And uncle in the army and an uncle in the RAF. We were lucky not all are
Doctor who was just so bloody good. The humble little kids TV show managed to produce television of this quality. It had no right to be this good, but amazing writers, actors and producers made it so. Sadly everyone that made it so good back in the day have all left now, and at present it's really struggling. I personally think they need to go on a hiatus for 10 years or so and bring it back for another generation. They've got everything they can out of this instalment of the show, it's time to go down a completely different path, or leave it for so long that we all miss it and want it back, I can't see another way to get fans back on board
Watching this again after 13's regeneration, after when he says during the Christmas Truce that it never hurts to have a few less dead on the battlefield, you realise why The Doctor gave him that watch. So that it was time to get out of the way, and save both his life and his comrade's.
Have you spoken to VE Day veterans? WWI was a tragedy, WWII is more controversial since they see themselves as closer to Hitler than to Mohammad next door with his 12 year old wife.
Josh Mcgrath i agree with the timeless child stuff but the doctor doesn’t HAVE to be white or male.. its just the writing that ‘crapifies’ everything.. jodie could’ve been good but nah brownie points are more important
Yeah exactly, the problem does not lie with the character. If the newest doctor was white and male, it would still not change the writing at all and how weak it has been. Atleast not in any signifigant way, characters and especially the doctor can be done by whoever. The people writing the show need a better understanding of the material they are working with and have more concrete ideas on what they want to do with the characters.
@@meeper46 except that in this case the doctor could literally be anyone. It’s not race or gender swapping it’s literally just part of being a time lord, when regenerating they can turn into anyone, regardless of race, gender or age.

Me too, my friend. I think it’s a few things very specifically: first of all of course the musical score is just incomparable. Second, it’s the very very human thing of this old veteran at this memorial this guy who had seen and experienced so much and lived to commemorate those who didn’t. Because we as humans can all relate to these things - at least once we have some life experience. And lastly, some of the finest and most sincere acting ever to grace the screen, by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman. It makes us feel because it’s so real. I dare anyone to find a scene in TV that’s more profound.
Such an incredible end to such an incredible two parter Probably the second greatest doctor who story, only beaten by the masterpiece that is Heaven Sent.
Endings like this are one of the many things that make the RTD Era my favourite, and i'm so excited to see what else RTD has In store for us in the next week or so.
David Tennant filled the role so well they even debated whether or not to shut the show down after him because no one will ever be so good. They were right.
I always thought it was weird that they went with that for the fobwatch pay off instead of it simply being in his pocket and stopping a bullet from killing him.
Oh how this show has fallen from grace. Watching doctor who back in the day even made me, a person who has never been to britan, feel patriotic about the country.
For the Fallen - a poem by Laurence Binyon written in Autumn 1914. The poem is often recited at Remembrance Services with a communal response at the end of either "We shall remember them" or "Lest We Forget". The line "They Shall Not Grow Old..." is an unnecessary modification of the original "They Shall Grow Not Old..."
“Verity was standing there. 'Doctor. Dr Smith.' Smith spun round and gazed at her. 'Verity. My dear.' The woman smiled. 'I'm flattered, John, that you regard me as an old flame. That was your interpretation of what I was doing in your memories. But I think you're on rather dangerous ground. I'm one of the Doctor's dreams, an icon, a female custodian of something that's deep inside him. I was the only piece of himself that he left behind in his head. I'm important to him. He hardly listens to me, mind you. And he never returns my telephone calls.' 'Do you want to tell me what you told John in the glade this morning?' the Doctor asked. 'What you were trying to whisper in his ear for so long?' 'You still don't know? I don't see why I should tell you now. You employed me, after all, to defend and take care of your deepest memories, and then you failed to take heed of any of my warnings.' 'I didn't, you mean,' Smith interjected. 'There are things down there in my unconscious that even I don't know about, memories from before I was born,' the Doctor explained. 'I couldn't get rid of all of them and Smith was certain to start accessing some of it. I just thought that there ought to be somebody in there who knew who I was.' 'Couldn't she have appeared earlier and saved me all that bother?' Smith asked. Verity patted him on the shoulder. 'I wasn't allowed to. That was the frustrating thing. I couldn't intrude into your consciousness. I could only appear when you'd got it sorted out for yourself.' 'So what did you say to him?' the Doctor asked. 'That he believes in Good and fights Evil. That, with Violence all around him, he's a Man of Peace. That he's never Cruel, or Cowardly. That he is A Hero.' Smith closed his eyes for a moment. 'It felt good to hear it confirmed. Of course, that's not a definition of me. That's you, Doctor.' The Doctor reached out and touched him on the shoulder. 'As I believe you said, Being Me is A State of Mind. Six other people apart from you and I have had a go. You were rather good at it.' Smith looked at him again and managed a smile. 'Perhaps I taught a few more would-be Doctors how to do it.' 'Perhaps. But I wonder how many will remember when they grow up?' Verity waved a hand between them. 'Sorry to interrupt. Look who's here.' Death looked at them all, sniffily. 'You deal with me again, raven Time Lord, possibly for the last time.' She put a hand on Smith's shoulder. 'This one belongs to me, now. I told you long ago, Doctor, that I would take a life from you in return for that of your companion. Our business is now concluded.' Smith shivered at her touch. 'What's going to happen to me?' he asked. 'Another owl for Lord Rassilon?' the Doctor asked. 'That is not for you to ask,' Death replied. Verity kissed Smith's forehead. 'It'll be fine. Bloody Eternals think they own the universe. They don't know everything.' Death began to fade, and Smith with her, the man looking around himself in wonder. 'Give my love to Time and Pain,' said the Doctor. 'If it wasn't for Time, I would never entertain you.' Death glared at him. 'But you cannot let Family down.' She clicked her fingers. The Doctor opened his eyes.” - Human Nature
Few people who don't travel with the Doctor ever see them again. Imagine what Tim must have meant to the Doctor for them to come to a memorial service to see him in his old age. The Doctor doesn't like to look back, so it must be something special to make them do just that.
Giovanni Magnus
2 months ago (edited) Tim was glad to see the Doctor one last time as the Doctor to me sort of saw and treated Tim as an adopted son.
The Doctor also probably came back to retrieve his watch
But we don't know what year they came to the memorial. Tim is about 15, so he was born in 1898 and it doesn't look like he's above 80.
@@fadikhoory5350 I mean who says that’s 2007? Could be like the early 90s.
my guess is the doctor saw something pretty special in him, so he kept tabs on him
One of the best episode endings of Tennant’s time imo. It’s as if The Doctor and Martha were there for Tim his whole life, protecting him like silent guardians :).
Did the doc travel in time when Tim was old? I'm confused
Agreed.
I have this theory that the Doctor knows that this will be Tim's last Remembrance, so he comes back to say goodbye. And when Tim sees him, he knows this too

I like it how the Doctor sees himself in Tim. A dedicated sacred young boy who is afraid of the war but fights for what's right
Tim basically is John Smith’s adopted son at this point
Robotic Spiderguy
11 months ago I strongly agree. Tim is also one of my favorite Doctor Who characters as well.
I remember when this first came out and the number of British WW1 veterans still alive could be counted on one hand. This hits harder now some 15 years later when even the end of that war was over 100 years ago.

That's why it is our burden to bear now, to remember the cost of war and never let another one like the one they fought happen.
This is, The going down of the son. I have seen in my lifetime the last of the veterans from The War To End All Wars die, and I will likely see the last of the veterans from the war after that die as well
I've seen this clip dozens of times...and it makes me well up every time....

This happens quite often in the show, like Clara and Rose living in the exact same house.

@@thewerewolff7248 well it was written by chibnall after all
@AK Nah, 42 was still good. Probably the weakest of Series 3, mind you, but not bad.

There's more than one way to fight. Medics, quartermasters, cooks, technicians, mechanics, all have their roles.

This whole sequence always got me...i'm not crying...you are
Imagine the long and sortied history of that watch, from the hands of young Timothy to the pocket of Dr Yana at the end of the universe. Bloody hell.
I thought the one at the end of time was a similar watch but not the same one
No it's actually just a basic unit many timelords carry, the one Dr Yana had was his own unrelated to the doctors.
"To the right."...
Gets me everytime.
I thought it was so cute how she gave him some goodbye kisses before leaving
Probably one of the bestest soundtrack this episode had in all the doctor who years
