The look in David Tennant´s eyes just kills me...Absolute void...He´s lost someone who completed him and loved him...He´s alone again....Alone in the whole universe....and the one he loved is lost forever....
and the fact that he was literally born to love her, after the sacrifice which 9th did to save her (after she rescued him in a total suicidal way) that's how his regeneration started! Tennant's doctor was born out of Rose's love😭😭😭
David Tennant's scream as Rose is being pulled into the void... man, it's like it punches you in the face, how deeply he cares for her and his absolute horror at the idea of her being trapped in the void for eternity. He shows it all in that scream
@@whe832kso10 Considering Matt Smith was crying reading the script for his regeneration episode, I think those tears and screams from Billie were completely genuine
I think it's a perfect reaction, and related to what I call the curse of being the Doctor: KNOWING that you are probably the most intelligent, capable being in (this) universe, and also knowing that even you can't get her back, can't fix this, which means no one can. I feel Tenant was the best incarnation to accurately portray this theme of the character. Call it The Despair of Knowledge. Knowing removes the idea of hope.
I read somewhere that there was originally dialogue written for the bit where David Tennant presses his cheek against the wall, but they decided that David's silence and heartbroken look told the story better than any dialogue ever could, and left it as it was. I'm glad they did
@Joe MacDonell From what I read it never got past the first reading (where the actors sit round a table and go through the proposed script) Apparently they realised pretty much straight away that silence would be more powerful, so the first draft of the script probably just got tossed in the trash.
When the Doctor touches the wall and Rose instantly stops crying while touching the wall at the same time... they felt each other across universes. Rose and the Doctor truly are one of the greatest bonds in the show.
Friend: "you've watched this episode before. Did you cry?" Me: "I did but I'm not gonna cry this time." *Doomsday starts playing* Me: *Starts sobbing uncontrollably*
me too, I've only seen the following companions departures once, including Clara's one recently. just don't ask me which is the saddest departure, because I just don't know
The Doctor's scream when Rose slips still haunts me. Normally he's composed and self-contained, if not getting a bit angry here and there, but here, in this one scene, he flat-out screams. It's vocalized emotional destruction. Tennant did amazing with this part, and it's still one of the strongest moments in the series.
One point that really hit home for me, in the parallel universe, Rose has everything that the ordinary one did not - Dad still alive and in love with Mum, brave and caring boyfriend. The parallel universe actually suits her, it's just awful that what she was taken away from was the thing she loved the most. David Tennant and Billie play this amazingly, Rose full of raw emotion and the Doctor just a complete shell, just haunting emptiness.
It’s really good storytelling and and a nice way to wrap up rose’s arc in a bittersweet way. but I don’t think Mickey and Rose were together beyond friends after the cyberman episodes (Though I could be wrong).
@@liampapps763 the parallel universe suits her? Not at all, in fact it was ridiculous that she had to go be trapped in the wrong one. Even if the doctor had to leave her, it would have been better for her to be in her proper universe.
I adore the way David Tennant approached this scene. I think it's one of the first times we see the Tenth Doctor look completely broken, exhausted, ancient, and almost paralysed with shock inside. Of course, that's due to Tennant's performance, because he played that quiet, more alien, type of grief-stricken shock very clearly and extremely well. Almost with his eyes alone. THAT's why I cry at this scene: The emotional resonance is through the roof here.
Everyone just ignores Patrick Troughton’s performance. It’s just as good at David. Especially, in The War Games, his final story. Just like Peter Davidson’s final story, he’s pushed to his limits and we see his true ancient, alien, stricken with grief side. How desperate he is, to do right. And, In the War Games, the Doctor lost both his companions, forced to regenerate and trapped on Earth, without a working Tardis. I don’t know; the 60s Doctor Who and Russel T Davies Era, (and, Peter Davison‘ tenure) to me, were the best at storytelling in Doctor Who. Funny, how it’s still Sylvester McCoy, which has my favourite era of Doctor Who. I’m weird-
There’s a reason that Graeme Harper was the only Classic director asked to return to the new series. Seriously, watch “The Caves of Androzani”. It’s brilliant.
When you consider what's actually happening here, I would argue that this was the saddest moment in Dr Who. I mean, these two loved each other completely, and then without warning they're ripped apart. They get no goodbye, as far as they're concerned no chance to see each other again, there's nothing but a blank wall. Roe is forced back into a life she never wanted to go back to, and the Doctor is left not just alone and isolated, but without the one person who made him feel whole again for the first time since the Time War. I mean... Jesus they just don't write it like this anymore. I miss Russell T Davies so much...
And a close contender - the Doctor having to let Donna go. One companion who understood him, and was able to help him heal from losing Rose, without trying to replace her. She wanted to travel the stars and do wonderful acts of charity, especially after learning everything the Doctor knows. She couldn't handle this knowledge, and it would kill her to try. She even knew this, and still refused to wipe it, choosing rather to die than to go back to her old ordinary life where she gets no recognition or respect, working minimum wage being unable to help anybody. And the Doctor, has to wipe her mind against her will, and let her go. To the point where he can't even see her again or risk killing her. This time, its not a constraint of a different dimension, its a constraint of her life. If he is careless, or lets his own desire get the better of him, one of his best friends dies.
@@Goabnb94 I'd argue Donna's is sadder than Rose's simply because Donna always viewed herself negatively with her mother reinforcing her insecurities. The Doctor and her time on the Tardis made Donna show the universe how great she actually is and also help Donna realise her potential. She ends up becoming one of the most important ppl in the universe only for it all to be stripped away so that she can never remember how great of a life she had or could have had. I guess the upside is that Donna's time with the Doctor and him calling the mother out on it forces her to eventually realise the effect of her borderline abusive tendencies towards Donna. So I imagine that she ended up giving Donna positive reinforcement which eventually led to her having a happier life and eventually the Doctor outright gives her enough wealth to live a decent life outside of the house.
I agree, but i have to fix you a little there - due the character of his regeneration, tenth may have a little platonnic feels for Rose, but he is still a timelord. He and Rose is not a thing. Ever. Only post-methacrysis-he is would be good for Rose, and he left her with his double, because HE would really love her as human meaning of this word.
1:32 His face here broke my heart. I think my heart ached when I saw this for the first time, it hurts. The chemistry between David Tennant and Billie Piper was so great, mind you, I thought the Doctor was in love with Rose since Christopher Ecclestone said "You look beautiful" and tried to cover up his feelings by saying "for a human." This is one of those tragic love stories I will never recover from. In my mind, its "The Doctor in the Tardis with Rose Tyler" just as it should be, and will always be. *fan girl scream*
Christopher and Billie, The Ninth Doctor was angry and alone when Rose met him because he had no one, but then Rose was the only person who wanted to stay no matter what adventure after adventure she stood by his side, She made him laugh again, she gave him a new life, and he repaid her back by sacrificing his life to save Rose's from Bad Wolf Co-operation. And as a result he became Born Again, and became a whole new man because of her.
I love how no one steps in at the end to console her, it won't work because they all know what she's just lost, instead they hold hands and wait. Very compelling and it shows how well the writers know their characters.
Their separation is so tragic, but I also love that Rose was saved by her dad. She never got to have a dad and he never had a daughter, but an alternate version of here dad saved her from the breach
I don't care. that people say about Rose's "ugly crying". It looks real and you can feel how devastated she is. Look at yourself in the mirror when you cry, does it look good? I don't think so. The acting in this scene is stunning. It brought me tears when I was 9, it brings me tears when I'm 21.
People who say this crying is ugly were all brainwashed by Hollywood to think all crying people have a single tear or two role down their face while they keep a straight face. No one in the world cries like that.
I heard a quote from people watching Tobey McGuire cry in Spider-Man and talking about this, and in response to the ugly crying thing they said, “Yea I bet you look pretty fuckable when you cry too.”
I remember that moment, was I was 8, and I cried throughout the whole day afterwards, how has it been 10 years, It feels really quite recent... David Tennant was definitely the best Doctor.
His face at 3:02 speaks volumes. He's seen this so many times, and it hurts more each time it happens- but he still tries to lock away the pain, the emotion, the love, and being immortal doesn't feel like such a great deal anymore.
so I was 7 years old when I watched this and 10 years on I've never cried at any tv or film scene as hard as I cried at this! the music, the acting, the simplicity of the white wall- everything heartbreaking.
My fave moment is where Jackie reaches for mickeys hand. So much has gone between them since those early days. Even when Mickey stays on our earth, he tells Jackie he’ll miss her the most. From enemies to the mother figure he never really had.
I remember nearly tearing up when Rose was falling into the void and I saw the Doctor's face. Specially afterwards when he put his head against the wall. David Tennant was and always will be the best Doctor Who in my mind. Rose was one of the best companions as well. The relationship between those two was always just so great.
Man, this scene was a turning point for me in my childhood. I was 6 and it was the first time I cared so deeply for a fictional character as if they were real. I wrote out an entire letter and begged my dad to send it to the BBC, demanding that Rose return. I'll never forget it. This scene will always be special.
What makes this duo so unbearably painful is how well their end reflects and depicts a break up in real life. Suddenly separated into two different worlds, you know that the other person is out there living their life only you cannot be together for whatever reason and you feel changed forever. Rose explains how the doctor has shown her a new way of life and she cannot simply return to how she was before after all their amazing experiences.
When they're both leaning against the wall, Rose has that desperation which suggests she still has hope that he'll save her, like he always does. You can see it in her eyes that she hasn't given up completely. But for the doctor, there's no hope and no desperation. He knows without any doubt that he cannot find her this time. Just complete sadness.
I might be biased by the fact I was 7 when I first saw this but this is still the most powerful TV moment I've ever watched. Never cared more about fictional characters than I did Rose and the 10th doctor. This moment was heartbreaking.
Whatever I'd highly recommend watching the Classic Series if you haven't. Hell, you might even find moments or episodes more heartbreaking than Doomsday.
this is literally the best acting ive seen from David Tennant. I was almost ready to bawl my eyes out. I was blubbering so hard! when the doctor lowers his hand and has that "I lost her" look in his eyes, and again when he was in the tardis projecting himself on the beach, I lost it. that moment when you see tears running down his face because he didn't get the chance to tell Rose he loved her back.... oh the feels are strong with this one...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Over a decade since this aired, and still it brings tears to my eyes. The only other scene that's ever been this heartwrenching is when Rose was left on the beach. _(Maybe when Donna was forced to forget her adventures)_ There's never been anything quite like the sadness of Doctor Who, and I don't think there ever will be again. At least, not in the same sense
I'm watching Doctor Who for the first time, and just finished season 2 that had this scene. OMG! For the first time in my life (and I'm over 40), I actually teared up because of a show. This and the way it ended between the Doctor and Rose was absolutely heartbreaking! Phenomenal acting by David Tennant and Billie Piper.
This scene finally sold me on David Tennant as The Doctor: Both Rose and The Doctor separated by the "wall" between dimensions ... and HE'S the first to leave. THAT is The Doctor: a wanderer who has lost more companions than even he can count ... and the knowledge that he will lose more in the many centuries to come. And Tennant pulled it off. I thought it was his best performance. Bravo.
God I love how emotional this scene is. How he gets so terrified when he sees her go, and the moment he realises she's not coming back. When he walks away and you can see how empty he is, that's heart crushing, he's been with her the whole regeneration(two!), he's had a family the whole time,, hes never been truly sad or given up as the tenth, and then he just loses it all in a moment, and he knows it straight away. He saves the whole world and he has no one to celebrate with :( I tear up so much tbh, I love le emotional scenes, DW showed me how to feel since 2005
Ya know, I've always wondered if, for that moment at 2:37, the walls between worlds were just thin enough that they could still feel or hear each other but passed it off as grief-filled insanity...the fact that they both press their ears to the wall at the same time....
18 years later and this never fails to get me tearing up. Billie Piper's acting in this is so raw, versus David Tennant's almost disassociating dead eyes... I torture myself with this scene at least once a year. Incredible.
Actually, You know what DRIVES ME INSANE? It's a parallel world. And when Rose was caught by Pete and teleported there, the void didn't close until a few seconds later. So she could have grabbed the teleport, run backwards, and teleported back, and by the time she got back, the void would have started to close, so she wouldn't have gotten sucked in, and she and the Doctor could have been together FOREVER and actually admitted their feelings!!!!
Could you imagine how Rose was prior to her banging at the wall? I can guess she shoved pete away, tried to press the darn teleporter and it wasn't functioning . she then runs towards the wall and thats when we see her...
Lily Roos I was thinking that, too. I suppose, though, there was no way to know from their perspective how much longer the void aperture might stay open. She could have transported back and been sucked right back in if it didn't close right away. But I agree...it's a scene they could've thrown in that would've worked well, I think. Showing her grabbing it, running back, but then having it not working. But I guess they wanted to start with her crying at the wall. And if we're going to talk logic...why did Jackie have to go to the parallel world, again? She didn't have any void stuff on her. She could've manned the other lever while Rose stayed secured to something.
What's trippy about this is that there is no wall in between them, it is quite literally the same room and the same side of the wall. The difference in orientation of the camera is to visually convey that it's a diferent universe.
Imagine someone who lied once and now that one can't stop lying, even if he/she doesn't want to. That makes him/her sad, but to not worry their Friends, he lies, but he/she doesn't want. Eventually, that person stops feeling, live is worthless, even he/she has Friends, parents, a normal life... But he/she now lies everytime, and almost every word he/she says, is a lie. That person thinks that he/ she has turned into a dirty lier. he/she considers himself/ herself worthless of being in the living world, but he doesn't want to worry his/her loved ones, so he/she lies them, telling them he/ she's fine, which makes him even feel less, only void, which depresses him/her, even more. And the cycle repeats all over again, and again, and again...
I don't know why people say this isn't sad because they hated Rose but this scene wasn't about Rose, it was about the Doctor. When he tears up at the end...the feels. **sobs uncontrollably**
***** I suppose if you don't have an emotional attachment. My comment was aimed at people who hate Rose but like 10 and say it isn't a sad scene. We shouldn't have to see the Doctor cry.
+KangarooGod I'd like to know anyone can even hate the 10th doctor; even if he's not a favorite, he's still really good and most of the best doctor who stories are in the 10th doctor era.
The thing I love most about this scene is the look on Ten's face. Heartbroken and devestated but you can also tell that this situation is way too familiar to him. He has been at this point to many times in his lifes.
Whoever disliked this video, was crying so much that they could not tell the difference between the like and dislike button and they accidentally hit the dislike button c:
Me and my father, used to watch doctor who every late night, on a school night. My mother would usually come down to take me to bed, but my father would say just let him watch one episode. So we would doctor who all the time, David Tennant was his favourite doctor. Now that my father recently passed away, Im now 19 years old. And looking back at this episode, all I think about is my father. This episode represented exactly how I felt when I heard “Your dad passed away”. I was Rose and The Doctor in one. My emotions were of Rose on the inside, but I had a cold, expressionless face of the Dr on the outside. The day he went was like doomsday, his soul is alive but there’s a wall separating us. Rest easy Pops💙
i cried for 10 minutes straight the first time i watched this i went to a party later that night and i randomly started crying - like actually crying i couldn't explain it to anyone and now i'm crying again rose has her family and mickey but the doctor is all alone he just lost the only thing in his life that mattered all i have to do is think of that and i'm crying
This scene is elevated miles above by the soundtrack. That pedal tone high above with the thrumming bass beneath and the solo voice makes this scene just amazingly sad.
Gets me crying every time. Brilliant performance, particularly by David who gives off a massive sense of despair and anger that his world just fell apart whilst accepting it at the same time.
I really really wish that having the Tardis inside of her would have made rose immortal then instead of dumping her in another universe when she finally gets back to him he would have kept her
I miss the format of episodes back with Russell T Davies as the writer. I love Capaldi, disliked Smith, but the episode format and writing style feels so different now.
I agree. Capaldi is good but the stories are not as interesting with Moffatt as the writer. It just doesnt really feel like doctor who anymore unfortunately.
+beyondsims Capaldi with Davies' writing would be awesome. the episodes were both more exciting and more down to earth with Russel, With Moffat everything is very similar and the story arcs are too complicated for me
the little moment where she senses him, somehow, just on the other side of the wall despite the fact that it’s the other side of the universe KILLS me after all these years
today i'm wearing a david tennent shirt, and I was leaning against a wall, and at the other side of the wall, my friend was like "hey, i'm rose tyler" and I was like "still too soon TT^TT"
I have seen this scene about 100 times now (literally) and I still get the intense sense of terror and panic when Rose is lifted into the air. Even though I know what is going to happen, this scene's effect never wears down. It's so intense.
50+ years worth of film and this is the saddest moment? I'm not hating on your opinion, but there sadder moments in Classic Who. But then again, that's my opinion.
This isnt keeping it together. This is when you feel SO broken you even question if crying accomplishes anything. Ten is easily the least collected doctor ever but that's why we love him
I still cry whenever I watch this scene. The first time I watched it my mum found me on the couch, a crying mess wrapped in a blanket, and she was so concerned about me because I was genuinely heartbroken. I couldn't stop crying for night on end, whenever I went to bed. Guess I'm a bit too involved hahah oops
The man who regrets and the man who forgets. 10 regrets everything that happened to his companions, especially what happened to Rose and Donna 11 doesn't want to feel the pain anymore so he tries to forget the past and in doing so partly forgets what he stands for. He loses himself until he gets reminded of his morals and what he stands for
unlike Rose, Amy Pond and Rory William died. In The Power of Three, the Doctor did say that a few of his companions died, and that actually sort of foretold the fates of the Ponds. Rose is at least safe somewhere else, but the Ponds is basically dead.
The look in David Tennant´s eyes just kills me...Absolute void...He´s lost someone who completed him and loved him...He´s alone again....Alone in the whole universe....and the one he loved is lost forever....
StaHP YOU’RE MAKING ME CRY
This episode brought me to tears, I was so attached to Rose but then the others came in.. More tears came..
Until the series 4 finale.
My top dead eyes that he’s done:
This
After rose says “on your own”
After he closes the tardis door during his regeneration
and the fact that he was literally born to love her, after the sacrifice which 9th did to save her (after she rescued him in a total suicidal way) that's how his regeneration started! Tennant's doctor was born out of Rose's love😭😭😭
sometimes i like to torture myself and rewatch this scene
This is so relatable

@@whe832kso10 Considering Matt Smith was crying reading the script for his regeneration episode, I think those tears and screams from Billie were completely genuine
2:28 no tears, no anger, no racing off to get her, no breaking any laws of time. Just deep, hurting, sadness
Perfect
Shhh before Moffat retcons this too
I think it's a perfect reaction, and related to what I call the curse of being the Doctor: KNOWING that you are probably the most intelligent, capable being in (this) universe, and also knowing that even you can't get her back, can't fix this, which means no one can.
I feel Tenant was the best incarnation to accurately portray this theme of the character. Call it The Despair of Knowledge. Knowing removes the idea of hope.
Moffat did retcon it. In The Big Bang, all alternate universes are reset to their natural state, so Rose Tyler doesn't exist anymore.
I am the 9th doctor and i say your poem is 'fantastic'

while still being there for her.

It was totally not okay to loose Rose again. The way she screams "let me back" breaks my heart just like when she was left on the beach.
Same. The feels...
Lose*
she says the exact same words “take me back” in the last episode with the 9th (The parting of the ways) it kills me every time.
I felt bad for Rose. Adults need to get away from mommy and daddy and make their own lives, not spend the rest of their lives with them.

This is one of those tragic love stories I will never recover from. In my mind, its "The Doctor in the Tardis with Rose Tyler" just as it should be, and will always be. *fan girl scream*
Thank you for including Christopher Eccleston in your comment...he's so underrated! X
Christopher and Billie, The Ninth Doctor was angry and alone when Rose met him because he had no one, but then Rose was the only person who wanted to stay no matter what adventure after adventure she stood by his side, She made him laugh again, she gave him a new life, and he repaid her back by sacrificing his life to save Rose's from Bad Wolf Co-operation. And as a result he became Born Again, and became a whole new man because of her.
PERFECT COMMENT!

For me, it's 2:30
Roses are red
The Tardis is blue
The doctor once said:
"Rose Tyler..."
-i love you-
aww that's cute

I love how no one steps in at the end to console her, it won't work because they all know what she's just lost, instead they hold hands and wait. Very compelling and it shows how well the writers know their characters.
cringe
Their separation is so tragic, but I also love that Rose was saved by her dad. She never got to have a dad and he never had a daughter, but an alternate version of here dad saved her from the breach
I don't care. that people say about Rose's "ugly crying". It looks real and you can feel how devastated she is. Look at yourself in the mirror when you cry, does it look good? I don't think so.
The acting in this scene is stunning. It brought me tears when I was 9, it brings me tears when I'm 21.
People who say this crying is ugly were all brainwashed by Hollywood to think all crying people have a single tear or two role down their face while they keep a straight face. No one in the world cries like that.
i prefer "ugly crying" when i see fake-ass single tear down the cheek i don't feel anything. but this scene you can FEEL it.
Ugly crying? I never thought it was ugly at all. I never saw it that way. To me it was real and I felt it.
I heard a quote from people watching Tobey McGuire cry in Spider-Man and talking about this, and in response to the ugly crying thing they said, “Yea I bet you look pretty fuckable when you cry too.”
She still looks very pretty.
Billie piper just kills it in this scene. Absolutely heartbreaking, even now 12 years on! And the music... what an epic scene.
It's now been a decade since this aired, and it still gets me every time 😥
Same... this scene makes me cry like a baby...
I remember that moment, was I was 8, and I cried throughout the whole day afterwards, how has it been 10 years, It feels really quite recent... David Tennant was definitely the best Doctor.
Canary Wharf, Central London, Torchwood Tower, 2006 I remember thinking that they should've never have gone.
Sam Field he was and still is my favorite
Johnny Mac very emotional 😭 for me as well the ending.
His face at 3:02 speaks volumes. He's seen this so many times, and it hurts more each time it happens- but he still tries to lock away the pain, the emotion, the love, and being immortal doesn't feel like such a great deal anymore.
The Doctor's quiet, bitter pain is somehow more heartbreaking than Rose's desperate tears.
One of those scenes that are like; Oh she'll make it. Gah they can't do that, I doubt they would.
*looses grip*
...what... what just...happened>...
A bit like Mufasa's death scene
i get to turn this into 1k
so I was 7 years old when I watched this and 10 years on I've never cried at any tv or film scene as hard as I cried at this! the music, the acting, the simplicity of the white wall- everything heartbreaking.
can u tell me the name this music?
Kappa Mania doomsday
awwww a 7yrs old whovian!adorable!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I was 7 as well!
I was 11, and I honestly could not believe what I was seeing at the time.
My fave moment is where Jackie reaches for mickeys hand. So much has gone between them since those early days. Even when Mickey stays on our earth, he tells Jackie he’ll miss her the most. From enemies to the mother figure he never really had.
I remember nearly tearing up when Rose was falling into the void and I saw the Doctor's face. Specially afterwards when he put his head against the wall.
David Tennant was and always will be the best Doctor Who in my mind. Rose was one of the best companions as well. The relationship between those two was always just so great.
NEARLY tearing up? i was crying my eyes out
Agreed. I can't watch this scene without crying.
Agreed. I can't watch this scene without crying.
Man, this scene was a turning point for me in my childhood. I was 6 and it was the first time I cared so deeply for a fictional character as if they were real. I wrote out an entire letter and begged my dad to send it to the BBC, demanding that Rose return. I'll never forget it. This scene will always be special.
What makes this duo so unbearably painful is how well their end reflects
and depicts a break up in real life. Suddenly separated into two
different worlds, you know that the other person is out there living
their life only you cannot be together for whatever reason and you feel
changed forever. Rose explains how the doctor has shown her a new way of
life and she cannot simply return to how she was before after all their
amazing experiences.
10 years ago...blimey.
It still makes me sad to watch it even though I know they get back together anyway lool
TheJackFroster
It still holds it power..... FREEEEEEEAKKKKKKKKKK....... Trying to hold it together
12 years now...

One of Billie and David's best performances in the show, the angst, the sadness and heartbreak are so present that you inevitably feel their pain...
When they're both leaning against the wall, Rose has that desperation which suggests she still has hope that he'll save her, like he always does. You can see it in her eyes that she hasn't given up completely. But for the doctor, there's no hope and no desperation. He knows without any doubt that he cannot find her this time. Just complete sadness.
On a list of things that are not okay, the title is definitely on that list.
One of the most heartbreaking moments I've ever experienced with a television show. :( This and when they're on the beach. Ugh...
I might be biased by the fact I was 7 when I first saw this but this is still the most powerful TV moment I've ever watched. Never cared more about fictional characters than I did Rose and the 10th doctor. This moment was heartbreaking.
Whatever I'd highly recommend watching the Classic Series if you haven't. Hell, you might even find moments or episodes more heartbreaking than Doomsday.
@@DavidLopez-up3qm I don't know, zoe and Jamie do rival this
I can't believe she had to go. she was my favourite doctor who companion.
When I heard that she left the doctor I thought this was the final episode for Doctor Who
She didn't HAVE to go, Billie Piper actually CHOSE to leave at the time
Same.
Water On Mars I know she had to go, but it's still a sad moment when you lost your companion.
Until Season 4 i thought she was the Protagonist
this is literally the best acting ive seen from David Tennant. I was almost ready to bawl my eyes out. I was blubbering so hard! when the doctor lowers his hand and has that "I lost her" look in his eyes, and again when he was in the tardis projecting himself on the beach, I lost it. that moment when you see tears running down his face because he didn't get the chance to tell Rose he loved her back.... oh the feels are strong with this one...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Over a decade since this aired, and still it brings tears to my eyes. The only other scene that's ever been this heartwrenching is when Rose was left on the beach. _(Maybe when Donna was forced to forget her adventures)_ There's never been anything quite like the sadness of Doctor Who, and I don't think there ever will be again. At least, not in the same sense
Donnas was way way sadder.
The actual season was 2005, but this video is 9 years ago.
@Transit Times it came 2006 not 2005
With Russel T Davies back writing and Murray Gold back on the music for the next run, here's hoping the emotions are back as hard as ever
Almost two decades now.
I got over it.....
**Walks away and cries in the corner**
How many calories do you burn by sliding down a wall crying?
Thousand.
Million.
ten
Not enough...
Well I have lost so many then
I'm watching Doctor Who for the first time, and just finished season 2 that had this scene. OMG! For the first time in my life (and I'm over 40), I actually teared up because of a show. This and the way it ended between the Doctor and Rose was absolutely heartbreaking! Phenomenal acting by David Tennant and Billie Piper.
Wait til you get to Capaldi.
One of only a few episodes of television that had me sobbing.
This, and strangely Planet of the Ood, when all of the Ood are singing
Meleah Reardon I
What broke me down was her screaming and pounding on the wall.
1:34 You can see all the pain and suffering in the Doctor's face!
David, you were such a great Doctor!
This scene finally sold me on David Tennant as The Doctor: Both Rose and The Doctor separated by the "wall" between dimensions ... and HE'S the first to leave. THAT is The Doctor: a wanderer who has lost more companions than even he can count ... and the knowledge that he will lose more in the many centuries to come. And Tennant pulled it off. I thought it was his best performance. Bravo.
God I love how emotional this scene is. How he gets so terrified when he sees her go, and the moment he realises she's not coming back. When he walks away and you can see how empty he is, that's heart crushing, he's been with her the whole regeneration(two!), he's had a family the whole time,, hes never been truly sad or given up as the tenth, and then he just loses it all in a moment, and he knows it straight away. He saves the whole world and he has no one to celebrate with :( I tear up so much tbh, I love le emotional scenes, DW showed me how to feel since 2005
:(
Roses are red
Tardis is blue
Donna Nobel will ask "Doctor Who"
Roses will wilt
Ponds will dry
The hardest part is the Doctor saying "goodbye "
Too soon man. Way too soon.
+mattsmithismygod lol sorry XDD
Miranda of TARDIS
Ouch my heart
I find the departure of classic companions to be more sad
Ya know, I've always wondered if, for that moment at 2:37, the walls between worlds were just thin enough that they could still feel or hear each other but passed it off as grief-filled insanity...the fact that they both press their ears to the wall at the same time....
I love David's facial expressions throughout this entire scene.
DAVID TENNANT, the GREATEST DOCTOR OF THEM ALL!!
Saddest episode ever!!
End of time part 2 was sadder.
Joseph Dungee I agree
Erik Lehnsherr yes
Yeah same.
Disagree but I respect your opinion. We each have our own tastes
18 years later and this never fails to get me tearing up. Billie Piper's acting in this is so raw, versus David Tennant's almost disassociating dead eyes... I torture myself with this scene at least once a year. Incredible.
This scene is really sad and intense, but thinking that the alternative for Rose is the void, that sorta softens the blow a bit.
Actually, You know what DRIVES ME INSANE? It's a parallel world. And when Rose was caught by Pete and teleported there, the void didn't close until a few seconds later. So she could have grabbed the teleport, run backwards, and teleported back, and by the time she got back, the void would have started to close, so she wouldn't have gotten sucked in, and she and the Doctor could have been together FOREVER and actually admitted their feelings!!!!
Could you imagine how Rose was prior to her banging at the wall? I can guess she shoved pete away, tried to press the darn teleporter and it wasn't functioning . she then runs towards the wall and thats when we see her...
Lily Roos I was thinking that, too. I suppose, though, there was no way to know from their perspective how much longer the void aperture might stay open. She could have transported back and been sucked right back in if it didn't close right away.
But I agree...it's a scene they could've thrown in that would've worked well, I think. Showing her grabbing it, running back, but then having it not working. But I guess they wanted to start with her crying at the wall.
And if we're going to talk logic...why did Jackie have to go to the parallel world, again? She didn't have any void stuff on her. She could've manned the other lever while Rose stayed secured to something.
Jackie met Pete and both fell in love again.
claytoaj Exactly!!! She could have stayed and helped with the levers!!
saddest EVER. I want to curl up and die. I cry my eyes out everytime I watch this. it just tears my hearts to pieces
Corona got people social distancing like The Doctor and Rose
😂😂 dude, too mean! I mean, come on 🤣
Ouch
Gahahahah! 😂
We all Should of Seen This Comment Coming. 👏👏👏
Yawn.
inches apart but separated by an alternative universe.
Time and Space is a bitch!
What's trippy about this is that there is no wall in between them, it is quite literally the same room and the same side of the wall. The difference in orientation of the camera is to visually convey that it's a diferent universe.
This was the episode that changed everything....
*14 year old girls who listen to Billie Eilish: “I bet you haven’t even experienced true sadness in your life”*
*Me:*
Me a 14 year old 100% prefer this show over bille Eilish if I had to chose one
@@stellaastani9739 that's good. I'm 13 and I would say the same.
@midgetsausage Amen!
What about the depresion paradox?
Imagine someone who lied once and now that one can't stop lying, even if he/she doesn't want to. That makes him/her sad, but to not worry their Friends, he lies, but he/she doesn't want. Eventually, that person stops feeling, live is worthless, even he/she has Friends, parents, a normal life... But he/she now lies everytime, and almost every word he/she says, is a lie. That person thinks that he/ she has turned into a dirty lier. he/she considers himself/ herself worthless of being in the living world, but he doesn't want to worry his/her loved ones, so he/she lies them, telling them he/ she's fine, which makes him even feel less, only void, which depresses him/her, even more. And the cycle repeats all over again, and again, and again...
A lot of people think the scene at the beach was the saddest part of the episode, but for me, this was the worst.
why?
I don't know why people say this isn't sad because they hated Rose but this scene wasn't about Rose, it was about the Doctor. When he tears up at the end...the feels.
**sobs uncontrollably**
***** I suppose if you don't have an emotional attachment. My comment was aimed at people who hate Rose but like 10 and say it isn't a sad scene. We shouldn't have to see the Doctor cry.
***** Its fine. To each their own.
ending.... what! what! what! what! what! what! what!
+KangarooGod I'd like to know anyone can even hate the 10th doctor; even if he's not a favorite, he's still really good and most of the best doctor who stories are in the 10th doctor era.
“Roses are red
The tardis is blue
The doctor once said
Rose Tyler....”
The thing I love most about this scene is the look on Ten's face. Heartbroken and devestated but you can also tell that this situation is way too familiar to him. He has been at this point to many times in his lifes.
how many calories do you burn by sliding down a wall crying?
*Ten*
Kieranto that's ok I didn't need my hearts anyway
This was hands down her best scene, and she was, and maybe still is, my favourite companion. To go out on your best scene... can't ask for more
You can't deny that Billie Piper's acting in this scene is incredible.
Whoever disliked this video, was crying so much that they could not tell the difference between the like and dislike button and they accidentally hit the dislike button c:
All these years later and this scene still breaks my heart
The following song would go great with this episode - ua-cam.com/video/ePQe5E69INg/v-deo.html
I can't decide whether this scene or the one where the Doctor doesn't get to tell Rose that he loves her is sadder.
1:39
ROSE: noooooooooooooo
Doctor: ROOOOOSE!!!
pete: hi guys wat happen ok bye doctor
Me and my father, used to watch doctor who every late night, on a school night. My mother would usually come down to take me to bed, but my father would say just let him watch one episode. So we would doctor who all the time, David Tennant was his favourite doctor.
Now that my father recently passed away, Im now 19 years old. And looking back at this episode, all I think about is my father. This episode represented exactly how I felt when I heard “Your dad passed away”. I was Rose and The Doctor in one. My emotions were of Rose on the inside, but I had a cold, expressionless face of the Dr on the outside. The day he went was like doomsday, his soul is alive but there’s a wall separating us.
Rest easy Pops💙
The daleks screaming always makes me cackle idk why 💀
david’s acting feels so real. he’s literally phenomenal.
God the raw terror in Tennents voice as he calls for her. Such incredible acting
Still stands as the moment I've cried hardest at a TV episode. Granted, I was 12 when it aired but I still find it very sad.
laughing when the daleks where getting sucked in crying like a baby when rose got separated from the doctor
i cried for 10 minutes straight the first time i watched this
i went to a party later that night and i randomly started crying - like actually crying
i couldn't explain it to anyone
and now i'm crying again
rose has her family and mickey but the doctor is all alone
he just lost the only thing in his life that mattered
all i have to do is think of that and i'm crying
i am actually crying from this scene.
I LAAGUTHED i know i should not but i was younger at the time about 7 or 8 i am 2000
lol
I am too.
I cried so much lol
We all did! We all did...
Rose is gone
The Ponds are too
The Doctor never said
"I love you."
This scene is elevated miles above by the soundtrack. That pedal tone high above with the thrumming bass beneath and the solo voice makes this scene just amazingly sad.
If you REALLY want your heart to break even more, listen at 1:29 to 1:39 and just focus on Davids screaming. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
NOOOOOOOO
***** ITS EVEN WORSE IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES HERE TRY IT
NoOOOO
Cara G
I will tell you exactly how to break your heart. Watch and listen closely from 2:19 - 3:17, and then let me know.
Who gave you the right to do that
I punched my wall. Still crying.
Same here😀🔫
OWWWWWWWWW
I pressed the side of my head and one of my palms against the wall while staring at the camera.
Gets me crying every time.
Brilliant performance, particularly by David who gives off a massive sense of despair and anger that his world just fell apart whilst accepting it at the same time.
The doctor faces is the literal definition of “I won but at what cost”
Still one of the most emotional moments ever in television ... and I still get a tear 😢
"Rose and the Doctor are separated for ever"...until they meet again
As the Daleks and Cybermen are sucked into the void, I cant help but imagine it making the sound of a vacuum cleaner.
Lol
... Thanks for putting this in my recommendations UA-cam, now I'm dying inside again
I really really wish that having the Tardis inside of her would have made rose immortal then instead of dumping her in another universe when she finally gets back to him he would have kept her
I miss the format of episodes back with Russell T Davies as the writer. I love Capaldi, disliked Smith, but the episode format and writing style feels so different now.
I agree. Capaldi is good but the stories are not as interesting with Moffatt as the writer. It just doesnt really feel like doctor who anymore unfortunately.
+beyondsims Capaldi with Davies' writing would be awesome. the episodes were both more exciting and more down to earth with Russel, With Moffat everything is very similar and the story arcs are too complicated for me
Tʜᴇ Gᴀᴍᴇ Cʜᴀɴɢᴇʀ I agree, every episode has a similar setting, similar plot and similar ending.
+beyondsims Funny I hated Davies, too fond of shoving his one personal believes and ideologies on people.
CelticPred1997
His gay and athiest propaganda and general pcism.
the little moment where she senses him, somehow, just on the other side of the wall despite the fact that it’s the other side of the universe KILLS me after all these years
today i'm wearing a david tennent shirt, and I was leaning against a wall, and at the other side of the wall, my friend was like "hey, i'm rose tyler" and I was like "still too soon TT^TT"
It's been what? 12 years? still too soon
I have seen this scene about 100 times now (literally) and I still get the intense sense of terror and panic when Rose is lifted into the air. Even though I know what is going to happen, this scene's effect never wears down. It's so intense.
Never understood this scene as a child, always wondered "why don't they just break down the wall?"
Watching this now
This hurt.
heres to 10 years of doomsday
The saddest moment of Doctor Who history :'(
10's regeneration was sadder.
50+ years worth of film and this is the saddest moment? I'm not hating on your opinion, but there sadder moments in Classic Who. But then again, that's my opinion.
Gotta admit, he's really good at keeping it together
It's not that he's even good at keeping it together, he's just completely empty inside now Rose is gone.
This isnt keeping it together. This is when you feel SO broken you even question if crying accomplishes anything. Ten is easily the least collected doctor ever but that's why we love him
Despite 2 broken hearts, and knowing Rose’s heart is broken
I still cry whenever I watch this scene. The first time I watched it my mum found me on the couch, a crying mess wrapped in a blanket, and she was so concerned about me because I was genuinely heartbroken. I couldn't stop crying for night on end, whenever I went to bed. Guess I'm a bit too involved hahah oops
at 2:00 my reaction when im at school.
Haha!! Thanks for this comment- you've made me feel so much better about this scene.
HeartaVilleGram Lel no prob.
Please don't make me laugh at a sad scene :(
Greeny78554 Sorry :(
XD
This scene is proof that she’s really defender of the earth
I just realised that when rose cant see the doctor anymore he is just really sad, but when amy pond is gone The Doctor stops doing what he does best.
The man who regrets and the man who forgets.
10 regrets everything that happened to his companions, especially what happened to Rose and Donna
11 doesn't want to feel the pain anymore so he tries to forget the past and in doing so partly forgets what he stands for. He loses himself until he gets reminded of his morals and what he stands for
he was like screw this lol
unlike Rose, Amy Pond and Rory William died. In The Power of Three, the Doctor did say that a few of his companions died, and that actually sort of foretold the fates of the Ponds. Rose is at least safe somewhere else, but the Ponds is basically dead.
The way David screams as Rose lets go. I’ve never seen such real and raw emotions pour out like that.
