Had they actually planned to off Rose? Genuine, honest question there… I ask because I know there was a false trailer leaked, that suggested she would die in a different context (a reading of “life from dying” or something)… It may have been done because of Chris’ departure being revealed far earlier than originally planned, as a misdirection for us to not know if Rose would also live.

@@finanightmare1993 It's an ingenious story all the way through to that final episode! Just incredible, amazing mind-twisting story-telling. Just show you don't need Hollywood level budgets to tell a globally captivating story that captures the imagination of everybody who watches it!
The Weakest Link was a cross promotional event. They did a charity episode of the show with the cast of Dr. Who. And yes, the voice of the Anne-droid is the host of the show.
If you remember, 100 years ago - the Jagrafess was in charge of the station BUT it was at least implied that the creature worked for some sort of corporation - it was a manager rather than the owner - now we know who the "owner" is.
Funny story, one of the classic Doctors tried to fix the chameleon circuit and the TARDIS actively fought against the changes, silly/dumb forms, until he changed it back
@@Aeroldoth3 No, Six tried to repair the circuit, and every time he landed during that time the TARDIS was in a more ridiculous shape than before, like a china cabinet or a floral-patterned piano, until they finally went back to the police box and stayed that way again.
One thing that not many people notice here is that in Big Brother when a contestant gets evicted, Davina always signs off the announcement with “I’m coming to get you”. The Doctor says this here to Rose. It’s a nice little subtle top-and-tail of Big Brother to the episode.
You're climbing on my list of favorite reactors, especially with how you've gotten emotionally involved with them, in both this series and Farscape. I'm having the time of my life right now.
Great episode. Eccleston really hit it out of the park with this one - and that defiant closing-speech to the Daleks gives me chills after all these years.
I like it when these shows look at the consequences of their usual 'fly in, fix the problem, fly away and leave them to figure out how to recover by themselves'. Lower Decks does that too, there are a few episodes that call out Picard for just thinking the problem was solved at the end of the episode.
Funny thing is, RTD started his own TV production company to produce Doctor Who and other shows, and guess what he called it? "Bad Wolf". So modern Doctor Who is, in fact, produced by the Bad Wolf corporation now. Nice reference.
Yes, the 3 shows at the start we're very popular in 2005 and they actually used the voices of the shows presenters for them (anne Robinson played the anne droid, trinny and susanna were the 2 clothes robots and davina mcall was the big brother voice.... )
Your reaction to the end of the Daleks just all chanting "Exterminate!" is exactly what 6 year old me thought when seeing this lol. Good TV can still give that goodbump effect and it's absolutely glorious when it happens.
The 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) was my first doctor, and first favorite. Yes, I'm old. LOL When thinking that Jack looked good in a t-shirt and jeans, I wanted to say, "hold on to your knickers, there's more coming".
Ditto, Tom Baker. But only really for Keeper of Traken, Logopolis and I'm pretty sure remember being terrified of bits of Full Circle (I mean I was 3-4 years old). Peter Davidson is truly my Doctor though.
As a British person it was *so weird* to see Doctor Who recreate Big Brother, The Weakest Link, and What Not To Wear! And with the hosts of those shows voicing robotic versions of themselves, no less! Incidentally, there was a 2006 charity special episode of The Weakest Link with a Doctor Who theme featuring loads of actors from Series 2 of Doctor Who as the contestants, including David Tennant! I think it can be found for free here on UA-cam, and it's worth a watch if you have some free time after finishing Series 2!
Oh neat to find about about! I knew that the Anne droid was voiced by her; didn't know about the others, probably since I didn't know who hosted those shows (and some of them I've never seen). 👍 Note to @funnylilgalreacts - you should *definitely* check out that 2006 special episode of The Weakest Link that is mentioned here! 👍
That's something I've grown to really appreciate about dr who, since the daleks represent human Hate, particularly the N*zis, which keep cropping up and need constant vigilance against them.
2:00 -- These are feelings through which every dr. who fan has to go through. The next doctor will still be your new favorite doctor. They all cheat their way into your heart at some point. ;)
Same. Saw Star Wars in 1977 when I was 10 then saw Doctor WHo for the 1st time. It was the 3rd Doctor confronting Daleks and I naively thought they were R2D2 ripoffs.
I have been *hanging out* for your reaction to this ep and I already can't wait for next week. Also, pleasingly, I've just worked out that I get your reaction to the first Xmas special for my birthday!! Happy birthday, birthday month twin. Also, seeing your comments of transitioning TARDISes. The exterior remains largely the same, but every Doctor gets their own interior, which has become something of a running gag in the series. Semi-regularly "The Doctor" (I've used quotes because it's been said by more than one) will enter another Doctor's TARDIS, and similar to the companion's "it's bigger on the inside", will bust out "Ahh, I see you've redecorated. I don't like it". But I'm just here for the ride. Let's get into it.
Bad Wolf was a mysterious phrase specific to this series of DW. Its meaning is explained in the finale. The Daleks being behind everything was a complete surprise. Everyone thought (along with the Doctor) that the one in Dalek really was the last. Whoever said Jack simply makes an appearance in Torchwood was misleading. Or possibly avoiding spoilers, but you should be safe from those after finishing series 1. He is one of the main characters. If you do watch it, wait until you've finished Series 2 of DW for continuity.
Over the many decades the doctor has traveled to the future many times and the future keeps changing because every time he changes history there are new futures are created.
33:37 I'm not going to go into details because spoilers, but John Barrowman is one of the _co-stars_ of Torchwood. He's in every episode. That's not to say that Torchwood is "The Captain Jack Harkness Show", but he is a central character in it. So, it's a bit more than "he makes an appearance in it". 🙂
24:30 that throbbing noise is the Dalek heartbeat. We didn’t hear it in the first Dalek episode but it’s an iconic sound for the fans who saw the classic show. So as soon as they heard that noise they’d know straight away it was the Daleks before the audience even see them
The funniest thing about the Doctor's relationship with the timelords is that he doesn't even like them all that much. Back in classic Who he said this about him when they put him on trial: In all my travellings throughout the universe, I have battled against evil, against power-mad conspirators. I should have stayed HERE! The oldest civilization: decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core! Ha! Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us! Ten million years of absolute power - that's what it takes to be really corrupt!
On Big Brother, when someone got evicted, Davina would say "I'm coming to get you!" The "Then we're going to get you" is a play on that, plus the Doctor telling Rose "I'm coming to get you". For someone who knows all these shows, this episode is great. So much fun. Until it's not!
this is part 2 of why the Dalek episode was so good. It established how tough and near unbeatable one Dalek was. So finding out half a million are around earth... brown trousers time.
I've seen a lot of reactors immediately brush off Rose's supposed death because "they wouldn't kill off a main character" so it was nice to see someone take the possibility seriously for once!
The moment where the Doctor says "No" holds a special place in my heart. Watching it with my dad, when that hit he leaned forward in his chair and put his fingers to his chin, so intent on the scene. Just a magical moment.
Fun fact - John Barrowman who plays Jack was gutted that they cut his ass from this episode. They filmed it, but of course the BBC being the BBC didn't think teatime viewers were ready for Jack's ass! EDIT: And yes, Jack is in Torchwood. As far as I know he has a fairly consistent role in it!
@@crowfoot1199 I've not seen the DVD version so maybe it got added back in? I know they tweaked a few episodes for DVD release. It was definitely not in the original airing as we switched over to Doctor Who Confidential straight after watching where John talked about the cut!
i kinda didn’t wanna spoil that for her, but also she’s been deeply led astray that he isn’t in it much and she would probably regret not watching it for the channel, so i was kinda sitting here like “uhhh…what do we do” lmao
THAT moment gets everyone the first time. It’s amazing - rationally, we know she can’t be dead forever - but every one of us believes it in that moment.
So when I first saw this episode, I was so excited at 24:30, because as a long time fan of the Classic Series, I recognised that sound effect immediately, and knew what it meant.
The TARDIS "console room" (as it was known in the classic era, though I don't think it's really ever been called that in the new era, mostly because there's been barely any episodes when they've gone BEYOND the console room) underwent about 4 major shake ups in 26 years from 1963-89. In 1996 when they tried to make WHO into an American/British co-production, thankfully THANKFULLY the Brits stood there ground when it came to how the outside of the TARDIS looked, and also the sound of the TARDIS de/rematerialising. The inside underwent a total redevelopment however, and was amazing! It felt much more like a home, which was the intention right from the very beginning. When the show finally came back in 2005, well, you've seen the "coral theme". I'm glad you like it, but I'd love to see more of it. Thankfully we do have a few stories coming up that venture deeper inside the TARDIS...
Torchwood is a jack harkness show. But for the timeline Torchwood series 1 ends a few episodes before the end of Who series 3. Editor would probably know. Edit. Spelling/auto correct correcting.
Yep the whole torchwood thing with captain jack haven't happened in dr who.... yet so unless you want lots of story spoilers it's going to have to wait.... for now
27:05 “Oh my god, I have to go change my shirt!” For a wild second, I thought she was going to say she had to change her _pants._ I was like “Damn, the Daleks didn’t scare you _that much,_ did they?!” 😆
In an age of streaming, your reactions really make me feel the pain of cliffhangers...sure you just have to change your shirt, but I have to wait until next week!
23:00 when he says it’s their jobs and the doctor says with that you just lost the right to talk to me, that’s a reference to the moustache mans minions and the just following orders defence at the Nuremberg trials
The genius of having one Dalek in the episode "Dalek" is that we get to see how deadly and destructive just one of them is. Then we reach this episode. Imagine how much damage 500,000 of them can do.
Have the large box of tissues ready for the end, that goes for all of us watching too! Your pinky up pronunciation of Dalek is spot on and who doesn’t love Jack 😉👍 Re: Big Brother. They got Davina McCall from Channel 4 (who showed Big Brother UK) to do the Big Brother voiceover and Anne Robinson from The Weakest Link to do the AnnDroid voice!
@@johnmcclure40 not really?? She already knows the show exists, and I haven't said anything about when its set, and she said she was watching the whole finale in 1 go so she already knows what happens to jack now anyway. Also even before that she thought he was getting a cameo in it at least so all ive done is clarify that something she said would be her reason not to watch torchwood isnt true
This is a fun episode. The game show parodies were great and host Anne Robinson did voice the "Anne" droid. And it's a nice dramatic choice to keep the audience hanging for a long time thinking Rose is dead before the transmat reveal. I also love the classic series reference at 21:42. The guard says they are being sent to the lunar penal colony. The 3rd Doctor was sent to the lunar penal colony in a story from 1973 called "Frontier in Space" and spent an episode getting into hijinks there.
As others have said, Jack is definitely more than just an appearance in Torchwood - if you like Jack then definitely give it a watch. It has some incredibly strong episodes (and a few, definitely the minority, weaker episodes) - I found it to be one of those where the highs are incredible, and the lows can be quite low, but overall 100% a worthwhile watch, especially after they find their feet with the writing and the characters grow.
One of THE BEST Dalek reveals of all time. That panning shot from the one Dalek ship to a whole Fleet of them, after seeing what just ONE Dalek could do combined with the music fills you with such dread. And then the Doctor's 'no' speech and the swelling music turning you from impending dread to blood-pumping hope... god, this episode is so good! And the next one is even better!
I started watching Doctor Who in about 1980 at the age of 3. (In reality - I am sure my brothers had me sitting next to them watching the show as soon as I could sit up - I don't remember a time that I didn't watch Doctor Who.) I've seen every episode of Doctor Who (that is possible to watch; 96 instalments from 1963-69 were destroyed, and only exist as audio recordings). In 2005 when RTD brought Doctor Who back from oblivion, I was dubious. We'd gone through an attempted revival in 1996 and that was heartbreaking when it failed. But sitting there watching the television in 2005 - watching THIS episode... I felt every bit of the emotions that you were going thru watching this now. It is an AMAZING story, and the story-arc was brilliant. Now - I said all of that to say this... When you spoke of how the Doctor wiped out the Time Lords in order to kill the Daleks... (and as it turns out - he did it all for nothing...) It is devastating... One of the things that (generally) always happened in Doctor Who was that the Doctor did not go for a gun... He did not just shoot his way out of a situation... But one of the very few times that the Doctor ever did hold a gun in the Classic Era was in a Dalek story. Ultimately, he couldn't pull the trigger. Seeing the Doctor in this story, knowing what he has done... Ok now I'm just rambling, and trying not to give away anything, and - you know, Doctor Who is just this cute lil kids show. :) THIS episode (and its conclusion) is very much why by 2010 Doctor Who was the BBC's biggest money earner.
I haven't watched these episodes in years, so I absolutely appreciate watching with you! It reminded me how fantastic the writing really was back then. Fun fact: I met John Barrowman and David Tennant, and they're both awesome.
Oh! If you look closely in the Big Brother house, you will see artwork that looks like the round things on the Daleks, and the inside of the confessional booth, the walls too. (Art on walls tends to be clues later into the series.)
33:17 🤣🤣 Great editing & brilliant call back to the start of this story arc. Well Done Xander 10 out of 10 👍 Somehow I knew at the beginning of the reaction we were going to get a "Sorry Dad' moment but I expected it when Jack meet the 'Defabricator' 😁 But now so sad a week to wait for the next reaction which we know (as does our sweet reactor) is going to tear her apart 😢 Watch season 1 & 2 of Torchwood off screen but we would love to see your reactions to season 3 & 4 as they are amazing & short series 🤔
I love Eccleston. Shallow Grave is one of my favorite movies, and he was the reason I became interested in the show in the first place, and I love his take on the character. So when I tell you that Tennant is my favorite Doctor, know how high the bar was already set 🙂
Who is saying that Jack only makes an appearance in Torchwood? He wasnt the only star of the weird American remake/spin off. BUt he was the main character or at least a leading cast member in the original UK series
Yeah. I was kind of disappointed that she is being misinformed but maybe that was to throw her off so she reacts more genuinely to the big moment for Jack in Parting of Ways. As she indicated that she immediately watched that episode as well as the Christmas Special after watching Bad Wolf, here’s to hoping the person feeding her that information disabused her of that idea and she now knows that if she wants more Captain Jack it is her best interest to watch Torchwood. If not for Captain Jack then for the crossovers for the series 3 and series 4 finales of Doctor Who.
1. I also love Big Brother and Dan Gheesling is king! If you're not watching this season, you should, it's really great. Lots of drama that is fun rather than toxic. 2. I don't know if you've watched The Leftovers, but Christopher Eccleston is in it and his arc is amazing! It's a very sad emotionally taxing show, though. The actor who is playing "The Weakest Link" with Rose is also in The Leftovers. Love your reactions! They're so in-depth and super fun to watch as I rewatch the show.
"My Masters fear the doctor!"
"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"
"I'm crying about something that hasn't even happened yet!"
To be fair, that's VERY Doctor Who.
it is, this reactor feels so genuine, just found them, this is amazing!
Fun Fact: The Jack Harkness checklist for who he can sleep with.
1) Are they self aware?
2) Are they age of consent for their species?
3) Do they want to sleep with him?
That's it. If they're sentient, consenting and of age, he'll sleep with them.
I would not go so far as to say sentient. Sapient is probably the better qualifier.
He's not that picky.
So basically he’s the intergalactic version of Jeremy off Peep Show 😂😂 “Anything that moves I’ll f*ck it!”
Eccleston's "No" speech at the end is the moment he became one of my favorite incarnations of the Doctor. Ending it with "....and doesn't that just scare you to death?" was perfect. Yes, Doctor, it does scare them to death. As it should.
Which I don't like because usually particularly in Classic Who it's the other way round it's the Daleks that scare the Doctor
@joshuaverran9443 ...he was scared... the scene where he works out it's the daleks, he's terrified.
@@joshuaverran9443 Yes, but after he's stopped them So Very Many Times.... it makes perfectly sense the Daleks would develop a massive complex over him, too.
This scene is the culmination of everything we've been learning about this incarnation of The Doctor, and powerfully written and performed.
I agree!
"I'm already crying for something that hasn't even happen yet"
That time travel for ya XD
"But you have no weapons, no defenses, _no plan!"_
"Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death!"
The Doctor is at his most brilliant--and his most dangerous--when he's just winging it. Anyone looking to harm the people the Doctor loves should be _very_ scared.
The TV host droids were all voiced by actual hosts of the shows: Anne Robinson (The Weakest Link), Davina McCall (Big Brother), Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine (both: What Not to Wear).

Every time she talks about the transition from one doctor to the next I have to exert so much self control...
I love that she lets herself feel everything and show it, because that's totally me with great shows like this one.
I love the stretch of this episode where they let you think Rose is dead. Just so perfectly played in terms of tone.
Especially with them introducing a new character that could easily be the new companion if Rose had died.
They were originally planning to kill Rose off in this story, or so I've seen said quite a bit.
Just wish there had been more ranting, more raving, more... more. Make more of a deal out of it, not just move on stoically. For me anyway it left it more 60% sure she's alive up until the reveal. What can I say? I live in denial until something is VERY obviously so.
Had they actually planned to off Rose? Genuine, honest question there…
I ask because I know there was a false trailer leaked, that suggested she would die in a different context (a reading of “life from dying” or something)… It may have been done because of Chris’ departure being revealed far earlier than originally planned, as a misdirection for us to not know if Rose would also live. And if he was leaving in the finale or the Christmas special, I suspect.
Perfect example why it's so important to avoid any cute hints of spoilery info so the reactions can be genuine!

@@finanightmare1993 It's an ingenious story all the way through to that final episode! Just incredible, amazing mind-twisting story-telling. Just show you don't need Hollywood level budgets to tell a globally captivating story that captures the imagination of everybody who watches it!
@@1funkyflyguy Exactly! Well explained. =)
But now it's part of lore
How is your comment from 2 weeks ago if the video was released today? 😲😨
The Weakest Link was a cross promotional event. They did a charity episode of the show with the cast of Dr. Who. And yes, the voice of the Anne-droid is the host of the show.
But David 10ant was on the Weakest Link episode, wasn't he?
@@JakkFrost1 well, yes, but that was due to the background drama with Eccleson. It wasn't very long after this episode.
@@Lordoftheapes79 yeah, but I mean I think the weakest link episode happened closer to the end of series 2.
@@Lordoftheapes79 The actors were on The Weakest Link after Series 2 had finished. Tracy-Ann Oberman was on it.
Nah, it was after series 2. A huge number of people on the panel were supporting actors from series 2.
If you remember, 100 years ago - the Jagrafess was in charge of the station BUT it was at least implied that the creature worked for some sort of corporation - it was a manager rather than the owner - now we know who the "owner" is.
Funny story, one of the classic Doctors tried to fix the chameleon circuit and the TARDIS actively fought against the changes, silly/dumb forms, until he changed it back
I was going to mention this as well. Attack of the Cybermen, the first story I saw at a convention with a couple hundred other fans.
Well, the TARDIS decided to change back, really... and the Doctor preferred it that way.
She changed it back.
The Doctor just accepted it.
I thought the circuit broke again. Was a long time ago though.
@@Aeroldoth3 No, Six tried to repair the circuit, and every time he landed during that time the TARDIS was in a more ridiculous shape than before, like a china cabinet or a floral-patterned piano, until they finally went back to the police box and stayed that way again.
24:28 that unmistakeable "heartbeat" sound instantly told every classic Who fan that Rose was on board a Dalek ship.
One thing that not many people notice here is that in Big Brother when a contestant gets evicted, Davina always signs off the announcement with “I’m coming to get you”. The Doctor says this here to Rose. It’s a nice little subtle top-and-tail of Big Brother to the episode.
You're climbing on my list of favorite reactors, especially with how you've gotten emotionally involved with them, in both this series and Farscape. I'm having the time of my life right now.
Your first Doctor, is always your fondest.
Great episode. Eccleston really hit it out of the park with this one - and that defiant closing-speech to the Daleks gives me chills after all these years.
I like it when these shows look at the consequences of their usual 'fly in, fix the problem, fly away and leave them to figure out how to recover by themselves'. Lower Decks does that too, there are a few episodes that call out Picard for just thinking the problem was solved at the end of the episode.
I think my fav was the Lower Deck's "Trusted Sources" episode that shows what happened to the Ornarans and Brekkians from TNG's Symbiosis
17:00 "I don't know if you can keep that promise" methinks (if you weren't already) you've become a whovian
Rule N⁰1.... Oh, wrong season/series😅
1:20 - Well, what can I say... Welcome to the fandom! Now you're doomed to experience it over, and over and over again.
Funny thing is, RTD started his own TV production company to produce Doctor Who and other shows, and guess what he called it? "Bad Wolf".
So modern Doctor Who is, in fact, produced by the Bad Wolf corporation now. Nice reference.
Yes, the 3 shows at the start we're very popular in 2005 and they actually used the voices of the shows presenters for them (anne Robinson played the anne droid, trinny and susanna were the 2 clothes robots and davina mcall was the big brother voice.... )
The Weakest Link and Big Brother are both still around, although both have changed a lot since then.
Your reaction to the end of the Daleks just all chanting "Exterminate!" is exactly what 6 year old me thought when seeing this lol. Good TV can still give that goodbump effect and it's absolutely glorious when it happens.
The 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) was my first doctor, and first favorite. Yes, I'm old. LOL When thinking that Jack looked good in a t-shirt and jeans, I wanted to say, "hold on to your knickers, there's more coming".
😂😂
"There's less coming." 😉
@@piperbird7193 seems like more coming would be accurate too 🤔
Tom Baker was my first Doctor, he was GREAT!.......Jelly Baby?
Ditto, Tom Baker. But only really for Keeper of Traken, Logopolis and I'm pretty sure remember being terrified of bits of Full Circle (I mean I was 3-4 years old). Peter Davidson is truly my Doctor though.
You'll love Torchwood. Jack is the star and in every episode of every series. It's a fabulous show.
As a British person it was *so weird* to see Doctor Who recreate Big Brother, The Weakest Link, and What Not To Wear! And with the hosts of those shows voicing robotic versions of themselves, no less!
Incidentally, there was a 2006 charity special episode of The Weakest Link with a Doctor Who theme featuring loads of actors from Series 2 of Doctor Who as the contestants, including David Tennant! I think it can be found for free here on UA-cam, and it's worth a watch if you have some free time after finishing Series 2!
Oh neat to find about about! I knew that the Anne droid was voiced by her; didn't know about the others, probably since I didn't know who hosted those shows (and some of them I've never seen). 👍
Note to @funnylilgalreacts - you should *definitely* check out that 2006 special episode of The Weakest Link that is mentioned here! 👍
The Daleks are like bed bugs, there's always more of them.
That's something I've grown to really appreciate about dr who, since the daleks represent human Hate, particularly the N*zis, which keep cropping up and need constant vigilance against them.
More like cockroaches!
The most "genocided" species in Doctor Who!
Nice comparison, and everyone hate those things. Thinking about them like that made me itch.
2:00 -- These are feelings through which every dr. who fan has to go through. The next doctor will still be your new favorite doctor. They all cheat their way into your heart at some point. ;)
I start watching Dr who in 1977 at 7 years old. When the show came back with this season I felt like a kid again
Same. Saw Star Wars in 1977 when I was 10 then saw Doctor WHo for the 1st time. It was the 3rd Doctor confronting Daleks and I naively thought they were R2D2 ripoffs.
I have my laundry room door painted up as the TARDIS.
Is the inside big enough to make your socks vanish?
I think every episode of season 4 is gonna require an entire box of tissues 😂❤
I have been *hanging out* for your reaction to this ep and I already can't wait for next week. Also, pleasingly, I've just worked out that I get your reaction to the first Xmas special for my birthday!! Happy birthday, birthday month twin.
Also, seeing your comments of transitioning TARDISes. The exterior remains largely the same, but every Doctor gets their own interior, which has become something of a running gag in the series. Semi-regularly "The Doctor" (I've used quotes because it's been said by more than one) will enter another Doctor's TARDIS, and similar to the companion's "it's bigger on the inside", will bust out "Ahh, I see you've redecorated. I don't like it".
But I'm just here for the ride. Let's get into it.
Bad Wolf was a mysterious phrase specific to this series of DW. Its meaning is explained in the finale. The Daleks being behind everything was a complete surprise. Everyone thought (along with the Doctor) that the one in Dalek really was the last.
Whoever said Jack simply makes an appearance in Torchwood was misleading. Or possibly avoiding spoilers, but you should be safe from those after finishing series 1. He is one of the main characters. If you do watch it, wait until you've finished Series 2 of DW for continuity.
You LOVE DR WHO..... ITS a pleasure to watch your reactions... Bless You
It's a testament to the strength of 1x6 that you've got so much genuine fear on your face seeing so many Daleks in the final moments of this episode
Over the many decades the doctor has traveled to the future many times and the future keeps changing because every time he changes history there are new futures are created.
"teacher?
33:37 I'm not going to go into details because spoilers, but John Barrowman is one of the _co-stars_ of Torchwood. He's in every episode. That's not to say that Torchwood is "The Captain Jack Harkness Show", but he is a central character in it. So, it's a bit more than "he makes an appearance in it". 🙂
24:30 that throbbing noise is the Dalek heartbeat. We didn’t hear it in the first Dalek episode but it’s an iconic sound for the fans who saw the classic show. So as soon as they heard that noise they’d know straight away it was the Daleks before the audience even see them
"I'm coming to get you" is the perfect Big Brother callback.
The funniest thing about the Doctor's relationship with the timelords is that he doesn't even like them all that much. Back in classic Who he said this about him when they put him on trial:
In all my travellings throughout the universe, I have battled against evil, against power-mad conspirators. I should have stayed HERE! The oldest civilization: decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core! Ha! Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us! Ten million years of absolute power - that's what it takes to be really corrupt!
On Big Brother, when someone got evicted, Davina would say "I'm coming to get you!"
The "Then we're going to get you" is a play on that, plus the Doctor telling Rose "I'm coming to get you". For someone who knows all these shows, this episode is great. So much fun. Until it's not!
The Anne-Droid is actually voiced by Anne Robinson. Always thought that was awesome! Also, you should look a little more into Torchwood, Angela. 😏
All in good time, all in good time. Let her get the back-story via DW season 2, first.
Your first Doctor is a very big deal! We understand
this is part 2 of why the Dalek episode was so good. It established how tough and near unbeatable one Dalek was. So finding out half a million are around earth... brown trousers time.
So who's laying the eggs?
Even if they had that dalek's memory these daleks would think that one was an abomination
Two hearts.
One for every day and one for Sunday best.
I've seen a lot of reactors immediately brush off Rose's supposed death because "they wouldn't kill off a main character" so it was nice to see someone take the possibility seriously for once!
Wow, you are surprisingly knowledgeable about 2000's British game shows. Everytime I show people series 1, I have to explain each game to them 😂
Start off with some light hearted reality show shenaningans, end with devastation. I love this show...
To be fair, being killed because you lose the game doesn't seem that light hearted
To be fair, that wasn't the start of the episode, that came after.
“My masters, they fear the Doctor.” Such a good moment.
The moment where the Doctor says "No" holds a special place in my heart. Watching it with my dad, when that hit he leaned forward in his chair and put his fingers to his chin, so intent on the scene. Just a magical moment.
Fun fact - John Barrowman who plays Jack was gutted that they cut his ass from this episode. They filmed it, but of course the BBC being the BBC didn't think teatime viewers were ready for Jack's ass!
EDIT: And yes, Jack is in Torchwood. As far as I know he has a fairly consistent role in it!
I... seem to remember seeing it. Could it have been in the original airing then cut after? Or just on the dvd?
@@crowfoot1199 I've not seen the DVD version so maybe it got added back in? I know they tweaked a few episodes for DVD release.
It was definitely not in the original airing as we switched over to Doctor Who Confidential straight after watching where John talked about the cut!
@@mccpcorn2000 huh. I no longer have my dvds, alas (unwillingly), so I can't confirm. Keeping it in the dvd does makes sense.
Torchwood IS a whole Jack Harkness show. He's the lead.
Yes, but I wasn't gonna mention that.
i kinda didn’t wanna spoil that for her, but also she’s been deeply led astray that he isn’t in it much and she would probably regret not watching it for the channel, so i was kinda sitting here like “uhhh…what do we do” lmao
Yeah,I do want her to cover Torchwood on the channel, so she needs to know. It's not spoilering that much.
@funnylilgalreacts you need to watch Torchwood!
THAT moment gets everyone the first time. It’s amazing - rationally, we know she can’t be dead forever - but every one of us believes it in that moment.
So when I first saw this episode, I was so excited at 24:30, because as a long time fan of the Classic Series, I recognised that sound effect immediately, and knew what it meant.
The TARDIS "console room" (as it was known in the classic era, though I don't think it's really ever been called that in the new era, mostly because there's been barely any episodes when they've gone BEYOND the console room) underwent about 4 major shake ups in 26 years from 1963-89. In 1996 when they tried to make WHO into an American/British co-production, thankfully THANKFULLY the Brits stood there ground when it came to how the outside of the TARDIS looked, and also the sound of the TARDIS de/rematerialising. The inside underwent a total redevelopment however, and was amazing! It felt much more like a home, which was the intention right from the very beginning. When the show finally came back in 2005, well, you've seen the "coral theme". I'm glad you like it, but I'd love to see more of it. Thankfully we do have a few stories coming up that venture deeper inside the TARDIS...
Was not expecting to see the return of the clicky head thingy but it was a welcome return 😂
I am so happy to see how much you are involved with the characters. It's so adorable. Can't wait for part 2
You never forget your first regeneration. Christopher Eccleson really sets the tone for everything to come in a beautiful way.
You were fantastic!
Torchwood is a jack harkness show. But for the timeline Torchwood series 1 ends a few episodes before the end of Who series 3. Editor would probably know.
Edit. Spelling/auto correct correcting.
Yep the whole torchwood thing with captain jack haven't happened in dr who.... yet so unless you want lots of story spoilers it's going to have to wait.... for now
I started watching Doctor Who when I was three years old. That was in 1965. So I’ve been a Whovian for nearly 58 years!
27:05 “Oh my god, I have to go change my shirt!”
For a wild second, I thought she was going to say she had to change her _pants._ I was like “Damn, the Daleks didn’t scare you _that much,_ did they?!” 😆
Same here! =:oD
I love your reactions, and I love your editor! You're both matched SO well! 💜
In an age of streaming, your reactions really make me feel the pain of cliffhangers...sure you just have to change your shirt, but I have to wait until next week!
Two questions you can never ask, where did Jack hide his Lazer and why Christopher Eccleston left?
😂
What about the ONE question that must never be answered?
My answer to both is arseholes.
Funnylilgalreacts - Making New Who even better! :)
The funny thing about Doctor Who is that it is always changing, yet its core remains the same.
23:00 when he says it’s their jobs and the doctor says with that you just lost the right to talk to me, that’s a reference to the moustache mans minions and the just following orders defence at the Nuremberg trials
foreshadowing the appearance of the literal space-nazi allegory
7:14 Big Brother Bad Wolf Big Bad Wolf Big Brother Big Bad Brother Wolf Big.
Guessing you are going to watch the next episode right away. Probably a good idea!
Your channel makes my heart bigger on the inside😊
The genius of having one Dalek in the episode "Dalek" is that we get to see how deadly and destructive just one of them is. Then we reach this episode. Imagine how much damage 500,000 of them can do.
Have the large box of tissues ready for the end, that goes for all of us watching too! Your pinky up pronunciation of Dalek is spot on and who doesn’t love Jack 😉👍 Re: Big Brother. They got Davina McCall from Channel 4 (who showed Big Brother UK) to do the Big Brother voiceover and Anne Robinson from The Weakest Link to do the AnnDroid voice!
Torchwood is actually a "full jack harkness show", its completely based around him he doesnt just make a cameo
Spoilers.
@@johnmcclure40 not really?? She already knows the show exists, and I haven't said anything about when its set, and she said she was watching the whole finale in 1 go so she already knows what happens to jack now anyway. Also even before that she thought he was getting a cameo in it at least so all ive done is clarify that something she said would be her reason not to watch torchwood isnt true
@@actualgetawaycar There might be other viewers who haven't seen the last episode, but you have a good point.
This is a fun episode. The game show parodies were great and host Anne Robinson did voice the "Anne" droid. And it's a nice dramatic choice to keep the audience hanging for a long time thinking Rose is dead before the transmat reveal. I also love the classic series reference at 21:42. The guard says they are being sent to the lunar penal colony. The 3rd Doctor was sent to the lunar penal colony in a story from 1973 called "Frontier in Space" and spent an episode getting into hijinks there.
I cantttt her brain opening when she is snapping is the funniest thing 😂
As others have said, Jack is definitely more than just an appearance in Torchwood - if you like Jack then definitely give it a watch. It has some incredibly strong episodes (and a few, definitely the minority, weaker episodes) - I found it to be one of those where the highs are incredible, and the lows can be quite low, but overall 100% a worthwhile watch, especially after they find their feet with the writing and the characters grow.
I can't imagine hiding a compact laser deluxe on my body like Jack. Imagine taking a seat, crossing your legs and it accidentally goes off.
Scenario 1: it fires outwards and blows up your trousers and whatever you’re sitting on
Scenario 2: it fires inwards and… well… yeah
@@gergi29Presumably, it has a safety...
Jack is a professional, he knows what to do.
@@alexanderriley2979 would you trust a safety if its in that area lol
absoultely love the passion you have for some of the shows
One of THE BEST Dalek reveals of all time. That panning shot from the one Dalek ship to a whole Fleet of them, after seeing what just ONE Dalek could do combined with the music fills you with such dread.
And then the Doctor's 'no' speech and the swelling music turning you from impending dread to blood-pumping hope... god, this episode is so good!
And the next one is even better!
I started watching Doctor Who in about 1980 at the age of 3. (In reality - I am sure my brothers had me sitting next to them watching the show as soon as I could sit up - I don't remember a time that I didn't watch Doctor Who.) I've seen every episode of Doctor Who (that is possible to watch; 96 instalments from 1963-69 were destroyed, and only exist as audio recordings). In 2005 when RTD brought Doctor Who back from oblivion, I was dubious. We'd gone through an attempted revival in 1996 and that was heartbreaking when it failed. But sitting there watching the television in 2005 - watching THIS episode... I felt every bit of the emotions that you were going thru watching this now. It is an AMAZING story, and the story-arc was brilliant. Now - I said all of that to say this... When you spoke of how the Doctor wiped out the Time Lords in order to kill the Daleks... (and as it turns out - he did it all for nothing...) It is devastating... One of the things that (generally) always happened in Doctor Who was that the Doctor did not go for a gun... He did not just shoot his way out of a situation... But one of the very few times that the Doctor ever did hold a gun in the Classic Era was in a Dalek story. Ultimately, he couldn't pull the trigger. Seeing the Doctor in this story, knowing what he has done... Ok now I'm just rambling, and trying not to give away anything, and - you know, Doctor Who is just this cute lil kids show. :) THIS episode (and its conclusion) is very much why by 2010 Doctor Who was the BBC's biggest money earner.
I haven't watched these episodes in years, so I absolutely appreciate watching with you! It reminded me how fantastic the writing really was back then. Fun fact: I met John Barrowman and David Tennant, and they're both awesome.
Fun fact: The Anne droid was voiced by the actual Anne Robinson, who was the host of The Weakest Link. 😀
Oh! If you look closely in the Big Brother house, you will see artwork that looks like the round things on the Daleks, and the inside of the confessional booth, the walls too. (Art on walls tends to be clues later into the series.)
27:04 I thought she was about to say “Omg I have to go and change my pants!” xD
Started rewatching Dr Who along with your reactions. I had forgotten how good Eccleston was. It is sad his run gets cut short.
33:17 🤣🤣 Great editing & brilliant call back to the start of this story arc. Well Done Xander 10 out of 10 👍
Somehow I knew at the beginning of the reaction we were going to get a "Sorry Dad' moment but I expected it when Jack meet the 'Defabricator' 😁
But now so sad a week to wait for the next reaction which we know (as does our sweet reactor) is going to tear her apart 😢
Watch season 1 & 2 of Torchwood off screen but we would love to see your reactions to season 3 & 4 as they are amazing & short series 🤔
I love Eccleston. Shallow Grave is one of my favorite movies, and he was the reason I became interested in the show in the first place, and I love his take on the character. So when I tell you that Tennant is my favorite Doctor, know how high the bar was already set 🙂
Shallow grave is an underrated masterpiece, Obi-wan Kenobi meets The Doctor, Hijinks ensue.
Your reactions and emotional charge is so power. I love them so much
Who is saying that Jack only makes an appearance in Torchwood? He wasnt the only star of the weird American remake/spin off. BUt he was the main character or at least a leading cast member in the original UK series
Yeah. I was kind of disappointed that she is being misinformed but maybe that was to throw her off so she reacts more genuinely to the big moment for Jack in Parting of Ways. As she indicated that she immediately watched that episode as well as the Christmas Special after watching Bad Wolf, here’s to hoping the person feeding her that information disabused her of that idea and she now knows that if she wants more Captain Jack it is her best interest to watch Torchwood. If not for Captain Jack then for the crossovers for the series 3 and series 4 finales of Doctor Who.
1. I also love Big Brother and Dan Gheesling is king! If you're not watching this season, you should, it's really great. Lots of drama that is fun rather than toxic.
2. I don't know if you've watched The Leftovers, but Christopher Eccleston is in it and his arc is amazing! It's a very sad emotionally taxing show, though. The actor who is playing "The Weakest Link" with Rose is also in The Leftovers.
Love your reactions! They're so in-depth and super fun to watch as I rewatch the show.
With regards slitheen 'letting one go' that can have several meanings
7:50 - Brazillian big brother never stopped being big... no idea how we still have those
