Original Series: Doctor Who (2005)
Thanks for watching! I chose not to edit this down to remove the copyright claim because-- how could I? It's all so good! If you'd like to support the channel (and watch videos two months early) you can do so as a a UA-cam channel member (at the early access level) or add full reactions at www.patreon.com/casualnerdreactions
Wait, this is probably a dumb question, but if your reaction video gets hit with a copyright claim, does that mean you can still post it on your channel, but it just doesn't get monetized?
Verity Lambert, who this episode was dedicated to, was the very first producer for Doctor Who way back in the 1960s. At the time she was the BBC's only female drama producer.
Thank you for the background information.
@@CasualNerdReactionsshe was also who John said his mother was in human nature. As she was essentially the mother of Doctor who and his father Sidney, Sidney Newman who thought up the show
@@CasualNerdReactions People have probably already told you this, but if you get a chance, watch (or react to) Adventures in Space and Time, it's a dramatisation of the creation of Doctor Who and is written by and stars many of the people involved in modern Who. It's also really good :)
The OBE after her name was for the Order of the British Empire, a British order of chivalry, rewarding contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organizations, and public service outside the civil service.
Not many people remember the Doctor wanting to meet someone called Alonso. Brilliant!
All the way back in Army of Ghosts.
Her name is Kylie Minogue - Australian singer and actress - the character's name is Astrid Perth
Peth, but yeah, she's a big star in Australia and the UK.
She’s known in the US! Heard her songs as a kid
@@paigelogan7600 that’s good to know.
4th season is hands down the best of modren who. You're in for a fun ride.
6:21 - NEWSPAPER VENDOR - BERNARD CRIBBINS [RIP age 93] - The newspaper seller was portrayed by veteran British actor & singer Bernard Cribbins. He was a companion to Dr. Who in the film 'Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.' (1966). In this movie, Peter Cushing portrayed the Doctor and would go on to portray 'Grand Moff Tarkin' in 'Star War' (1977). The group 'Right Said Fred' named themselves after a song made famous by Cribbins. Cribbins could make you laugh and cry in the same scene.
It always intrigues me who recognise Kylie Minogue & who don't in this episode!
RTD asked Kylie to be in DW not thinking she would say yes but she did!!
Kylie (55 now), originally a soap opera actress has since the 1980s been a pop star reinventing herself over decades with many successes globally even in 2023 reaching a high with a song called "Padam Padam" all around the world which caught many on Tik Tok for example.
She's fantastic here in this episode with DT. So sad she didn't make it 😭
I definitely had no idea who she was. 😅
@@CasualNerdReactions Yes,North America,especially USA was a part of the world sge failed to conquer...so no surprise you don't recognise the most successful ex-Australian soap star turned Pop Star lol🤣🎩
@@neilmcdonald9164I thought Kylie would be known globally! 😮
@@CasualNerdReactions To be fair, I knew who Kylie was (her music videos were played a lot and were very catchy) but I did not recognize her as Astrid in the original viewing. I only realized it was her afterwards.
@@neilmcdonald9164it’s so weird that she didn’t, because “can’t get you out of my head” did pretty well here and she could’ve been big, but she didn’t really have a big hit here again until “padam padam”??? but hey, i’m at least one american who knows who she is lol
It's hilarious that you think of Astrid as the Blue Fairy. Astrid is played by Kylie Minogue. She also played the Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge.
A small cameo in this episode is Murray Gold the composer for the series, he is the one playing the piano in the band on the Titanic
Mr Copper is such a sweet character, I think his line about how being able to choose who lives and who dies would make you a monster is my favourite one from the episode, it’s very fitting for a character like the Doctor and his moral qualms as he goes about his adventures.
Absolutely!! The doctor definitely makes choices sometimes that I'm not totally sure he should really take on the authority to make, but it is always interesting.
Fun fact: The last surviving passenger onboard the RMS Titanic, Millvina Dean, lived to see this episode. After she saw the ending scene from The Last of the Time Lords, where the bow of the ship crashes into the TARDIS, she got upset because she thought the show was going to be using the real Titanic and found it disrespectful to her father and to everyone else who had died that day. A Doctor Who spokesperson contacted her to assure her that the show would, in fact, not be depicting the real ship.
The old man in the kiosk that the Doctor and Astrid meet on Earth is the late, great Bernard Cribbins, a British actor of stage, screen and television who also had a short stint as a pop star of funny songs which hit the British pop charts back in the 1950s and 1960s.
He has a list of credits longer than your arm, going all the way back to the mid 1950s. One of his many claims to fame is that he starred as the main heroic lead in the 2nd Doctor Who film, “Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD,” (1966) alongside Hammer horror actor Peter Cushing who played an eccentric scientist called Doctor Who (sic). This 2nd Dalek film was based on the 2nd Dalek TV story, “The Dalek Invasion of Earth,” which starred the original 1st TV Doctor, William Hartnell.
This 2nd film came about because of the huge success at the UK box office of the first Dalek film, “Doctor Who and the Daleks,” in 1965, which was based on the 1st Dalek TV story, “The Daleks.” Unfortunately, the 2nd film wasn’t as successful as the 1st, and plans for a third Dalek film were shelved. Both films were shot in colour and I’m sure lots of your Doctor Who subscribers would love you to react to these two films.
I wonder if the old man at the kiosk will ever be seen again? 🤔
Ooh, good question. We've already seen how Doctor Who recycles actors, so Who knows
As a child of the 80s I first encountered Bernard as the voice/narrator of The Wombles. Have since seen him in a wide variety of roles. Was definitely a sad day when he passed
Cribbins was also considered for the role of the Doctor himself! Really! But he lost to a bulgy eyed, toothy grinning loon named Tom Baker. 😉
And, of course, Wilf is in Series 4. He was also able to make a cameo in the newest series before he got too sick.
Fun fact the original plan was for them to crash through Buckingham palace as the doctor pulls the ship up, saving the earth, but not the palace. The reason it just manages to miss is actually budget. It was going be very expensive and right from the scripting stage they could tell the whole thing was running over.
"It's Doctor Who- I don't know why I bothered having expectations!"🤣🤣
LOVED your reaction to the 'I'm The Doctor' speech! Iconic moment.
AND AGAIN with "Allons -y Alonzo!" You didn't disappoint!
I was so disappointed that Astrid didn’t become the next companion.
Also I love that you always call out the music. And the traveling alone, who lives who dies makes a person a monster, middle distance stare moment . . . Foreboding.
Astrid Peth is Kylie Minogue, superstar, singer, actress, gay icon and was once probably one of the most famous women on the planet. Her presence was responsible for this being the highest viewed New Doctor who episode, over 13 million people in the UK
Which is why in the UK we all sort of knew Kylie was never going to be the companion and Astrid may meet a bit of a sticky end as soon as she was offered a place on board the TARDIS
She still is one of the most famous women on the planet.
It still baffles me that she's not as well known in North America. I live in Toronto and know she's a superstar. Mind you, I'm gay, so that could be why I know who she is. 😄
Verity Lambert (Obe) is the the person possibly most responsible for the creation of Doctor Who - there's a special that was released in 2013 called An Adventure in Space and Time around the 50th Anniversary that tells all about creation of the show - probably in your schedule (around The Day of the Doctor) if it's not put it in.
Fun fact: while obviously this wasnt a real cameo, queen elizabeth the 2nd was actually a noted fan of Doctor Who. The show was cancelled for decades in the 80s and the administrator of the BBC at the time is the only BBC administrator to be snubbed for a knighthood. This being coincidental is unlikely.
Also OBE wasnt a part of Verity Lamberts name, she was knighted as well. That's what that signifies, and what Michael Grade notably didnt recieve.
OBE is not a knighthood but a lesser award
This episode is based on an idea for a Doctor Who episode written by the brilliant Douglas Adams (RIP), author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which shares a few canon tie-ins with the whoniverse if you know where to look!), and who also used to write for Doctor Who during the Fourth Doctor's era!
It wasn't a Doctor Who idea: there was a video game called Starship Titanic which Adams wrote in the mid-late 90s. It's mainly it's own thing, far removed from any late 70s Doctor Who pitches. Starship Titanic gets a one-line mention in the 3rd Hitchhiker's book, which was based on a rejected Doctor Who script (The Krikkitmen) but that script has no connection the Titanic.
Russell T Davies was unaware of the game and the working title for this was Starship Titanic as well. When Davies found out about it, he changed the name. This was 5 months into the development process, a few weeks after writing the first draft of the script.
The clear inspiration for Voyage of the Damned is The Poseidon Adventure, and from what I can tell the plot of the video game (and the novel based on it, written by Terry Jones) doesn't resemble it much. It's just a coincidence that they both have the Titanic as a spaceship (it's pretty obvious place to go if you're doing a version of The Poseidon Adventure in space).
Adams is still brilliant, though, both in and out of the Whoniverse.
@@mattymcmatty I see. Thank you for the additional information! Regardless, I think it's great that Adam's legacy and his impact on Doctor Who lived on into the modern era in some small way thanks to this episode, in addition to living on in his books and such.
@@mattymcmattySo the problem with the angels was their cell point settings? Must get on that after I stop the bomb, fix the pellerator, get a transfer to second class and find some pistachio nuts for that bloody parrot.
Seeing ....Bernard Cribbins...was heart breaking :(
Wilf.
Clive Swift, who played Mr. Copper, is well-known in England from the classic comedy series Keeping Up Appearances. Also, Geoffrey Palmer was in another classic romantic comedy show, As Time Goes By. It was great to see them together.
Love that this show incorporates performers that appeal to everyone.
There’s a saying, any actor who’s ANYbody has been in Doctor Who.
And/or Harry Potter.
This episode holds the record for the highest recorded viewers in Doctor Who. On Xmas Day 2007 it got 13.31 million views in the UK watching live!! 🤯🤯
That's amazing! I love when record viewership coincides with great episodes.
The Kylie effect. This was heavily promoted.
I think it had so many elements to draw so many different people in, the who fans, the kylie/neighnours fans, titanic fans, I can’t remember it being advertised as a space ship or if it was just missed it I personally watched it to see to see if it was set in 1912 and if the doctor was the cause or had to cause it plus I wanted to see how kylie did in it and by the end I really would of loved her to be a companion it really was a fantastic Christmas special, much like the runaway bride
I LOVE the David Tennant specials. They are great! Yay you are about to start one of the best seasons !!!
Astrid was played by actress/pop star Kylie Minogue, if you want to see her in action do a search for "I just can't get you out of my head".
Oh yeah iconic video
"We made it."
"Not all of us."
Doctor Who, as cheesy as it is at times can deliver some amazing lines/scenes that put perspective on life.
... "Bird", you'll know.
Chris - "And that's how the Blue Fairy was born"
Me - Well, the actress, Kylie Minogue, did play the GREEN fairy in the movie Moulin Rouge, so close enough.
The storyline is closer to the 1972 movie The Poseidon Adventure than the story of the Titanic.
They did borrow heavy from the 1970s disaster movies.
Definitely homage to the Poseidon Adventure
Came here to say exactly that. Great movie, and a few scenes here are gloriously stolen from it.
Very Poseidon Adventure. Classic!!!
You know, because of just how often I’ve watched this, I’d forgotten just how funny and clever a lot of it was. Thank you for reminding me 😂
Spectacular episode! Fun to watch you enjoy it. I just love Morvin and Foon, I end up crying a little for them, for each of their sacrifices! You’re right, this was a Ship of Heroes. And a stacked cast as well!
I would have never guessed Marvin and Food would have been such amazing characters. I figured pure comic relief and then BAM.
FYI, the Fifth Doctor from Time Crash was made up in the outfit he wore from 1982-1984 on the show, which sets it between season 19 and 21 of the old show.
On that street was the church that 'Donna disappeared from'. Opposite it is the shopping centre the 'Autons attacked Jackie'
I forgot this episode was dedicated to Verity Lambert. We all owe her a great debt. Would we even have Dr Who without her? I dunno…
This was one of my favorites of all! I loved it! Especially for the Tennant Era.
Forgot the new theme music comes in here cause I just call it the Series 4 theme lol. Love the extra bit of rock, and really hits that last DUN DUN DUN DUN.
Your reactions are also heartwarming Chris. 😘
For the long time fans, revisiting this episode is bittersweet. RIP Bernard.
Can't wait for the reaction to the next companion. I have something to comment on about them, but I'll save it for their last episode.
I love this episode so much. I’ve watched it at least a dozen times over the years. So many great characters and stories.
Yay. One of my favourites. A great speech from the Doctor. Kylie, Russell Tovey and the irrepressible Bernard Cribbins!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Kylie isn't the Blue Fairy, but she was the green fairy (of absinthe).
I literally came into the comments to say this. Though I was going to leave out the absinthe and add in that it was from Moulin Rouge.
@@plothole181 I was originally going to end it at just "green fairy", but then I wasn't sure if that was too big of a logic leap, so I added the parenthetical comment (I still wanted to be a bit clever and not mention where it was from, hence why I didn't say Moulin Rouge).
I did delete a mention of the Blue Fairy being a drunk and a traitor, because I figured the overlap of someone familiar with that _and_ watching this channel is pretty much nonexistent. (Although, the Travelling Doctor _does_ visit the Nightside quite often...)
While I do believe I did read several novels in the series you are referencing, I'm afraid it was so long ago that I do not understand the reference beyond that.
@@plothole181 Well, that might be because he's not from that series. He's from the Secret History, which was a parallel series to Nightside, but just like every one of Green's books, is connected.
(Seriously - the main characters from the Forest Kingdom [Once in a Blue Moon &c.]? They leave and become Hawk and Fisher from the eponymous series. The town of Haven where they end up working as cops? It has a Street of Gods, which is explicitly the same street as the one on the Nightside. The Drood family from the Secret History series? They have a standing policy of non-interference with the Nightside, while JC Chance from the Ghost Finders series prowls its streets for supernatural weapons and/or ways he can be with his girlfriend. The Deathstalker family of the eponymous space opera series are distant descendants of the Droods, with the family founder showing up to help his ancestors out at one point. Even Ishmael Jones mentions the Droods as one of the organisations out in the world. The only series I'm not sure is connected is Gideon Sable, since I couldn't quite get into it.)
Though the fact that the reference was from a spinoff also probably had an impact, it also might be because I was reading these almost 20 years ago and, although I am currently looking across the room to my copy of the first book, I haven't reread any of the books during that period. It is actually cool to see that someone else has experience with them, because when I do go looking them up again I often get redirected to books from a series with a similar name that has no relation and find it nearly impossible to make my way to the right one.
Bernard Cribbins, the old newsagent actually was in the 1966 Doctor Who movie with Peter Cushing as the Doctor, which is not canon to the Doctor Who series, but a remake of the 1964 Doctor Who story The Dalek Invasion of Earth, starring 1st Doctor William Hartnell. He also stars in... oh that would be telling...
Kylie Minogue, Astrid, is a pretty famous pop star/Actress (Can't get you out of my head... la la la) from Australia. It is interesting that you identified her as the Blue Fairy, cause if you saw the movie Moulin Rogue, she has a small part/cameo as the Green Fairy (the spirt of absinthe) ua-cam.com/video/MXmoGwTpRrY/v-deo.html
I always think of this as one of (if not the) best of the Xmas specials and watch it every year.
I had so much fun watching you having so much fun watching this episode.
Fun trivia: In the second series with Rose, The Idiot's Lantern with the coronation of Elisabeth II,
there's a quote from the Doctor answering Tommy, when the boy says he thinks it's to late (to save the day).
The Doctor: " "It's never too late," as a wise person once said. Kylie, I think."
But if you were to watch only one song of her, I advise you to look up:
Kylie Minogue - Can't get you out of my head (Live Brit awards 2002)
She kills it live! And maybe not such a bad idea to know this song...
Also: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
17:49 'Information: No' always gets me haha
Ahhh, the one with Kylie Minogue.
I always loved this one. They kinda make you believe that Kylie might be the next companion, and then, of course…kill her 😢 Can’t wait for season 4 though. Probably my favourite companion in NuWho is on the way 😊
No blue fairy but Kylie was the green fairy in Moulin Rouge.
Im subbed to so many DW UA-cam channels im forgetting whos where lol
I’m here, if it helps 🙃
@@CasualNerdReactionsI always try to remember which companions you have seen.
This is a fun episode, although the disaster movie diminishing party is kind of grim. Astrid was a great companion, but she was never going to stick around. Kylie (who was coming back after cancer treatment) had an album to launch and a tour to do. She was a huge star at the time, and is still going. She won a Grammy this year.
What a nice 4th of July present!! Thanks for uploading this today!
not "obe" but OBE "The Order of the British Empire" its an award for contributions to the arts.
You could say a little more than that though. It's a highly prestigious honour 🎖 & bestowed upon by a member of the Royal family usually at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle.
In British honours there is the C.B.E, O.B.E, M.B.E & Knighthood/ Damehood (getting Sir or Dame before their name like Sir Ian McKellen & Dame Judi Dench)
I've definitely learned something new! Thank you.
Specifically an Officer rank. “Officer of the Order of the British Empire.” The fourth rank of the five rank Order. The top 2 ranks confer knighthood.
Tht little glimpse of next season - I guess that's your Christmas present from Voyage of the Damned (a very un-Christmasy title)
"The good news is, the Doctor is here to stop it" - remember that phrase. It will take a while but it will come back around and will make a great inside joke. I will try to remember and remind you ;)
I'm glad we didn't get Kylie Minogue as a companion because who we got instead was comedy gold next to Tennant. Not that Kylie was bad or anything, she was amazing and didn't deserve what she got
Excited for the next chapter!
@CyanicusTwice, comedy gold? It went downhill when Tate joined, she was about as funny as a covid jab. Thank god for Bernard Cribbins the only thing good about the whole series.
@@peterwright6721David and Catherine are the best duo what are you on?
@@peterwright6721 How does it feel knowing the entire New Who fandom disagrees with you?
Dude! I saw them crossed legs jump into shot when he said the lien to Alonso! Love you my dude 😊
Ship of Heroes is a great title indeed
Last time I watched this episode I was 2 days old
She's the green fairy in Moulin Rouge so you were close 😋
A strong suggestion would be to watch an old 1970's UK tv show. "Keeping Up Appearances". I don't care how many times I watch, am always on the floor. Ask your followers if they think you should.
Be on the lookout/ listen for references to the “Mr Copper” foundation. No spoilers. Just ears on.
anyone living in the 90s would instantly recognise Kylie Minogue xD shes a popstart on britney spears level to me xD
They have indeed changed & revamped the Doctor Who theme but this is the last time you will hear it in this form with the piano notes at the end sadly.
It is significantly rockier & one of my favourite theme variations up to now. For some reason (prob time) it was shorter after this ep 😭 going forward
It does make sense to let an intro be a tad longer for a special than an average episode. I'll take more episode if I'm forced to choose.
This one’s plot is remarkably similar to a story idea by Douglas Adams called Starship Titanic, which was turned into a novel by Terry Jones and a video game with Douglas Adams being there to guide both. I have a memory of the foreword that says although Douglas came up with the idea, and general plot, he had Terry Jones write it… and Terry agreed to do so, so long as he could write it in the nude.
22:58 - ASTRID - Means divinely beautiful; beloved of the gods. ASTRO - Means related t the stars.
It appears she was destined to become one with the heavens.
I love this episode! The hosts seem to be based on robots from a Tom Baker-era story. They had that same kind of Beethoven-statue look lol.
Go Kylie 😊 She’s a fantastic actress and a pop star too.
Her surname isn't Obe by the way. It's OBE. Stands for Order Of The British Empire. In very simple terms (because it's all quite complicated), it's like a type of knighthood.
Americans clearly have no idea who Kylie is. That's just really weird to me. But I guess there are loads of peope who are huge in America that no one else has heard of
Bernard Cribbins! 😢😢😢
Been looking forward to this
Doctor who will never get as popular as it was at this time statistics wise.
Also BEST INTRO THEME!
Imo late s3- all of s4/specials is peak doc who - That is not a universal take, its very subjective - so hopefully people dont consider that a spoiler. One of my joint first/if not fav episode is not within this period tho.
see him again...maybe...hear of him defo
Series 4 is probably the best in this show and it still is today. Cannot wait to see your reaction to it.
Kylie Minogue!!😃
Kylie! ❤
Doctor Who tradition - nearly everybody dies and the a-hole lives
Wilf!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Also, someday I want to cosplay Foon. 🥰
Kylie!!!
Blue fairy nope, Green fairy maybe (Moulin Rouge😉)
I see the next episode is "The Doctor's Daughter". Look up "the doctor's daughter meme", after you watch it.
Then mr copper changed his name and settled down with a wife, a house, some lovely curtains and a 36 piece porcelain dinner set with the hand painted periwinkles 😜
I fell in love wiith Russell Tovy. Still am
That "Who the hell are you anyway?" Is iconic 👏 Always find it funny how depressing & dark this Xmas special is. Sooooo many die. You won't see Mr Copper again I'm gonna be honest 👀
Shame you caught first few frames of the coming soon trailer but the question is usually given away on thumbnails or on box art that Catherine Tate appears in S4 but there's a lot to cover in S4 & I can't wait to see you experience it!! 🤫😉
Oh yea, I saw a poster of Catherine Tate & David Tennant when I clicked on the 4th series in order to watch THIS episode, so I already knew she was coming up.
23:21 Foreshadowing?
Definitely. Deliberate? Quite possibly.
I always found Rickston's "Who the hell are you anyway?" to be Doctor Who's version of Owen saying to Jack "Who the fuck are you anyway?" in "End of Days". Don't get me wrong, I don't think it was intentional at all, but I think it's a pretty cool thing nonetheless
The moments did happen pretty close to each other 😅
Alonso just does not deserve this crap. And yeah, it may be called the Titanic but the adventure was more like the Poseidon.
🚢
This episode is so silly; there are so many details where if you think about them for more than 5 minutes, make less than 0 sense. But oh boy, is it fun.
There's a small but dedicated portion of the fanbase that really wanted Mr. Copper to be a companion. Back in old Who, companions came in all shapes and sizes. New Who will get there eventually, but sadly in these early days (early days of the modern era? That sounds silly aha) they stick pretty close to the basic formula, which is 'Doctor + one pretty girl'.
Fun Fact : ASTRID = TARDIS???
DW loves the anagrams.
You should try the expanse series
Funnily enough, I just finished the first season for Patreon & UA-cam Channel Members. The shows launches on UA-cam July 22nd :) I can't wait to share it!
Wilfred!!!
Too bad Bannakaffalatta and Astrid couldn't get married. Maybe in the stars. Wish they had saved the name Astrid (a TARDIS anagram). I think I would have liked less death in this episode (It's not like It's the original Titanic) and if Martha had stayed on for one more adventure.
Spoilers incoming I cant hold it in
WIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLFFFFF!!!!!!!
IT'S WILF!!! ITS BERNARD ITS BOTH ITS THE BEST COMPANION IN THIS SHOW!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
🗣️ WILFRED MOTT‼️🔥
*The little old man in the kiosk.
You will come to see why he is so loved.
Dr Who meets Titanic meets The Poseidon Adventure. I liked this overweight couple better.
oh i forget how awful this episode is 😭
This just isn't a fun episode to watch. It's an old-fashioned disaster movie and a poor Christmas episode. The only bright spot is Bernard Cribbins.
