#DoctorWho #firsttimewatching #whovians - Розваги
Seen my breakdown yet? ua-cam.com/video/4dQ6YzHuZAs/v-deo.html
On it!!! By tonight!!!
Not only is Jinkx Monsoon (the Maestro) from RuPaul's Drag Race, she's the first (and so far the only) two-time winner of the show. In fact, the second time she won it was in a season of all winners so she's essentially "the Queen of Queens." Apropos of nothing else, her performance as Judy Garland in her second season is considered to be arguably THE best acting/comedy performance in the history of the show and it was completely improvised.
"Don't be jealous of my boogie." 🤣❤ Her Little Edie was also legendary.
Couple of interesting cameos in this one -- the old woman who Maestro killed was June Hudson, who was the costume designer for much of the Classic run of Doctor Who, and the guy on piano in the final musical number was the show's current composer, Murray Gold.
Wow!!! You are on it!!!
No it isn’t that was just some guy
@@Legendary3DgamerNah it was actually him. He’s listed on the credits too (as himself).
There's a billboard on the roof of the EMI building for "Chris Waites and the Carrollers". This is a really deep cut. In the first episode, Susan is listening to a fictional band on the radio, John Smith and the Common Men. Her with-it teacher, Ian Chesterton, says they used to be called Chris Waites and the Carrollers.
And with Carole Ann Ford saying she wants to come back as Susan in this show, if Russell does her dirty with all of those "The One Who Waits" theories, can we unanimously agree that Sophie lending Carole the bat to break into Russell's office would be justified at this point? Please?
The giggle the Doctor reffered to was the title of the 3rd episode of the 60th Anniversary and the episode where Ncuti first arrived after regeneration. It was also an event that happens caused by the main villain.
I’d certainly suggest you guys get through at least Series 4 and the David Tennant specials (pre Matt Smith) then watch the 60th specials to get a much more complete (RTD) New WHO’ backstory as it seems like the lore from the 60th specials is being extended/ built upon.
@@p.r.4748 Capaldi has some great stories and was also a brilliant Doctor. If they want to understand the whole adopted part the Doctor has now mentioned to Ruby a couple of times they would need to watch Jodie too.
@@SteveODonnell Oh absolutely on Matt, Peter & Jodie… I was just thinking of getting to the end of David’s first run as a minimum before they watch the 60th specials. Particularly as the 60th specials seem to have laid quite a few breadcrumbs for this BBC/ Disney Season 1.
@@p.r.4748 I get you there but as the whole foundling adoption bit is brought up in Wild Blue Yonder it may be worth watvhing Jodie and skipping Peter, but then you also skip Missy.she was a hoot.
@@p.r.4748 I would sgreem but then there's the puppet show to consider, and we don't even know what Series 14 is going to reveal/spoil yet. There's probably not an ideal solution, but it's fine.
Crazy to realize this is the first time you guys are hearing about Susan!!!
The very first episode had the Doctor and his granddaughter living in a junkyard in 1963. We didn't know what they were hiding out from, since the Time Lords wouldn't be created for another nine years. The 1988 story Remembrance of the Daleks is set in the same location but the day after the Doctor left.
Oh wow!!! Great to know!
@@nupefromdaville The Time Lord home planet didn't get a name until 1974, and the rule that Time Lords could only regenerate 12 times came in 2 or 3 years later.
@@MJE-riffs wonderful information! I love adding to my Doctor Who encyclopedia
@nupefromdaville I'm a former Who writer, and even wrote a book on the show's history. I know my Who shit.
@@MJE-riffs Holy Shit!!!! Well, I am honored!!! Well I want to learn all I can and I want to read your book(s)!!!
The Beatles themselves were actually in Doctor Who, in a 1965 episode, The Chase. It was a reused recording from Top of the Pops though.
The original plan was better - the Doctor and his companions would see The Beatles, but it'd be them as older men, played by the young Beatles in old-age makeup. The Fab Four wanted to do it, but Brian Epstein vetoed it, which is a massive shame.
Further to that - The Chase is the only surviving recording of that particular performance because the BBC junked the Top of the Pops original footage. Something a bit ironic about that, eh?
Cilla is Cilla Black worth a look up. An incredible career, friend of the Beatles, successful singer, had her family and returned in the 1980’s as a TV presenter.
Her most successful songs were "Alfie" and "Anyone Who Had A Heart".
Surprise, surprise!!!
WOO-WOO!!! The brother's 'fro and swagger....LOL!!! Yeah, the "giggle"...The Toymaker....We can't talk about those things :) THANKS for this!!!!!
The toymaker huh 🤔
Soon come
@@Syntell After the end of the *full* season 4 you can talk with @nupefromdaville and your Patreon folks on whether you should continue your dual-track time travel and jump *directly* to the 60th Specials, where/when [CENSORED] :) .
@@Syntell The Toymaker is a long ago history (1st Doctor in the mid 60s), and reappears in the 60th Anniversary special "Giggle" - watching which would make more sense to the references to "the giggle" :)
The Maestro is the child of the Toymaker, a villain from the 1966 story The Celestial Toymaker. Like a lot of '60s Who, the story no longer exists, but the soundtrack remains. An animated version was released last year.
The scene where the Doctor takes Ruby to the present day, only to find it devastated, is lifted from the 1970s classic episode Pyramids of Mars.
The actual Beatles, back when they were still together, appear in the 1965 Doctor Who story The Chase.
The woman singin after the Beatles is meant to be Cilla Black. She was a singer in the 60s over here, then she went on to do game shows, such as a dating show called Blind Date, as well as many other shows.
thanks for that!
Good looking out. She felt important.
@@nupefromdavilleI'm glad you commented. For some reason I'm not seeing any pinned comment with your channel, but I clicked on you now and hopped over and subscribed. Cheers.
@@Syntell one of her first hits was a cover of Dionne Warwick's "Anyone Who Had A Heart" in 1965, two years after Warwick's version. Unfortunately, several of Warwick's songs were covered in an almost identical arrangement by white artists in the UK.
@@JustChrisWillDoTa Thank you so much. The pinned comment should be at the very top of the comments as the first comment. But I appreciate you!!!
It's interesting to see that Carol of the Bells is what Maestro has trouble swallowing. Faith has always been portrayed as a power of its own, even back in the classic era.
38:30 Billie Piper had been in drama school since she was a kid, and wanted to be an actor first and foremost. She just happened to be talent-spotted and offered a pop contract when she was 15, so she was basically one of those "manufactured" pop singers. Once her singing career ended she returned to acting... and what a fine actress she is. I saw her in a stage play a few years back, and her stunning performance won her an Olivier Award.
I loved her in Penny Dreadful.
Jinkx Monsoon as Maestro is a marvellous new Dr Who villain. She is good friends with Russell T. and he wrote the part especially for her. Jinkx said she was inspired by the fantastic character Missy (from Peter Capaldi's era so you will have to wait awhile to see her and it's a treat so no spoilers). The sixties musical episode with The Beatles was terrific PS (Cilla Black was a famous singer, and television star)👌🎶
I agree completely!
Thank you 😍
She came with it this episode. Talk about a strong performance. Wow
And yes, they were on Rue Paul’s Drag Race as an entrant. Edit: Not from the UK.
@@JohnnyPappas thank you for that knowledge
A totally bonkers, amazing episode! 😊
With a great villian too
RTD: Camp is back on the menu!
Fun fact! Cilla Black was a good friend of the Beatles but they all use to go and watch Dionne Warwick and Cilla would cover all her songs and release them in the UK which propelled her fame. Something she did admit too and in fact Dionne Warwick knew about it too and made jokes about it with Cilla.
Dionne and Cilla both had Burt Bacharach and Hal David writing their songs, I believe.
@@wendypow1963 Dionne was Burts muse, Cilla stole and released anyone who had a heart in the uk before Dionne could and it sold millions leaving the uk believing that Warkicks version was the cover. Thus the feud began
@thevirgologychannel6215 OH wow! I wasn't aware. Just read up on her music composers and Cilla got original songs from Roger Greenaway and the Beatles but, mostly, did covers! How wrong was I!
@@wendypow1963 It’s how we learn. Also I’m old 😂
That's Cilla Black, household name in the UK. Singer and TV show presenter. Had a long career in entertainment
She had an important presence about her. I knew she had to be somebody.
@@SyntellYeah. If you've seen the "Surprise Surprise" meme that had popularity recently, that's Cilla Black. Black often did covers of Dionne Warwick's songs and some comments Black made about Warwick's songs in later years about making them "more commercial" kinda gives me the ick. The years long feud between Warwick and Black was revealed in December.
@@Syntell Her birth name was Priscilla White and gained her first regular BBC show five years after this was set. I remember it well. The show's theme was 'Step Inside Love' and her most famous songs were, amongst others, 'Something Tells Me' (somethings going to happen tonight) and 'Alfie'. Cilla was a Scouser - from Liverpool - as were The Beatles. The name Black came from, surprisingly enough, a journalist misnaming her in a review. She liked it and kept it. Paul McGann - a later Doctor - and Craig Charles from Red Dwarf are also native Liverpudlians.
I’m actually really enjoying the double reactions of both the older series and this new one. Gives you guys a very unique perspective. I think for us long term fans we view the older series with a lot of nostalgia which may cloud our vision when it comes to the newer stuff. I’m not a fan of some of the stuff we are seeing, but you are correct (as you mentioned in your live yesterday) that there was also some questionable things in the older series too! So I want to give it a chance and hold off judgement for now until we see the rest of the season. We may grow to love this season just as much!
I think with this series so far, people have forgotten how camp the original RTD run was, Moffat stopped a lot of the camp and Chibnall sort of ignored it and we have been missing it, the insanity is so fun though!
Two of the dancers in the number at the end are from the TV show Strictly Come Dancing (the UK version of Dancing With the Stars). Ruby mentions the show early on in the episode.
There are similarities between this story and the Fourth Doctor's story "The Pyramids if Mars". He and Sarah Jane encountered a God level being named Suketh, in 1917 , and the Doctor took her back to her time in 1980 to show her that her timeline would be destroyed if they didn't stop Suketh in the past.
The old lady was June Hudson who used to be the costume designer on dr who back when Tom Baker was the doctor.
I think your end discussion was really great, I was a fan of doctor who as a kid living in the UK, and in the uk everyone has their favourite doctor depending on how old they were when they watched it, I think that is the main qualifier. so although I haven't watched the newer who with jodie or peter, I loved david tennant and matt smith. Where I'm going with this is people are always going to hate but Doctor who is at it's heart a young teen show and has always been whimsical and fun but with those really great serious moments and life lessons. Loving all the who reactions keep it up theres some really great episodes to come with the older stuff.
One thing RTD does is leave a trail so inconsequential things may mean something later on he hides things in plain sight
Hes frightened because of what happened 3 episodes ago in the giggle with the toymaker, now hes facing Mistro.
I don't think they have seen any of the 60th anniversary episodes yet
It still comes off wrong.
youre right. The only think Disney has control over is distribution to everywhere other than the UK.
ALL the creative choices stays with the BBC & RTD
I love hearing someone say Martha is their favorite!
Has the Doctor ever before let a companion pick where to go AND ended up where they planned to go?
Coincidence is part of the plot this series...just so happens the Tardis took them where they needed to go even though it was a request.
@@lpeterson2336 It's the magic bleeding through.
The little old lady being killed after playing the piano was Tom Baker-era costume designer June Hudson, she designed the Doctor's infamous long scarf!!!
Some of the stuff that informs this season comes from the three specials from last year that aired before "Ruby Road."
Did you notice when the Doctor and Ruby crossed the zebra crossing the first time, in the background was a Volkswagen Beatle that was also featured on the cover album of the last recorded Beatles album, Abbey Road in 1969!
The very first Doctor Who story, transmitted on 23rd November 1963 (the following day after JFK’s assassination), was An Unearthy Child (the child being Susan, the Doctor’s granddaughter). both of whom had fled Gallifrey (which hadn’t been given a name yet in 1960’s Who), and materialised on earth in London, 1963. Susan attended a school where two schoolteachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, were teaching her. Amazed at her knowledge and intellect, they went looking for this Susan Foreman at her home, and stumbled into a junkyard (the address of her ‘home’) where they met the Doctor, discovered the TARDIS, and were whisked off into Time and Space.
The old lady with the glasses, who was killed by Maestro, is former Doctor Who costume designer June Hudson, who worked on many classic Who episodes in the 1980’s.
Think it’s a bit of a stretch that London (and maybe the world) would be devastated if there wasn’t any music in the world, especially as RTD didn’t really explain how it would happen.
The Beatles were severely underused (and they should have got actors who looked more like the Beatles), and RTD missed a trick at the end, when the Doctor said, “There’s always a twist in the end,” as they should have gone straight into the Beatles version of “Twist and Shout,” which as a non Beatles penned number, wouldn’t have cost as much as paying out for an actual Beatle song. Instead they came up with a set of crappy lyrics and a stupid dance number which really wasn’t needed.
The one who waits is called Chris, his name has been in huge letters throughout the episode. Or it just could be coincidence. Something to think about.
Disney/BBC released 3 specials after Jodie’s season prior to Ncuti becoming The Doctor. Those include the reintroduction to The Toymaker.
While I liked Space Babies (I’m a sucker for babies), this was the superior episode so far and Jinkx was great, terrifying at moments and seeing H.Arbinger show up during that “twist” at the end makes me think it can’t be the end…whether he summons Maestro again or just the other promised entities is a puzzle but I love the possibilities.
Spoilers dear. Not sure if you follow them, but they're also working their way through NuWho at the same time they're watching the current season. They're just starting Season 4 so it's gonna take them awhile to get to the episodes you're talking about, but they've asked not to talk about anything but the episode they're on.
Cilla Black was a recent meme, (Surprise Surprise) in all fairness few thought she was a good singer, but I believe she has the beetles to thank for becoming famous.
1963.
John Williams isn't the composing legend yet. In the 60s, he was Johnny Williams, an orchestra and jazz pianist.
Some people are always gonna be mad, they hate Ncuti because they cast a black actor. It is always gonna be there. Ncuti has been amazing and this episode was amazing.
I'm not sure which they hate more: his race or his queerness. Ncuti is an S-Tier actor. so it really showcases people's ridiculousness.
Shut up dude. The guy doesn't fit the role. Simple as.
@@SyncCryoEven though I love the actor, at first I was thrown off by his youthfulness, but I can’t imagine how Classic Who fans felt about Tennant when he first came along… And in-universe, it def makes sense to me that a man that old, that’s been both old and young, that can control his age and physique and is constantly going on very physically strenuous adventures across the stars, would want to be younger. He holds the same ethos and intelligent spark as the other Doctors, and the actor def has the chops for when they want to get serious with him.
The show is tonally different, but it also was back during the first reboot, and I feel a lot of that has to do with the overarching plot this season anyways. I don’t know if I buy that he’s thousands of years old yet but when this guy has to get serious, I’m telling you, he’s gonna impress you. Keep giving him a chance.
at first I was concerned about sucha clearly queer actor (see SexEducation)m but then they pulled the rabbit out the hat of Him changing orientation too... so, I can actually handle that situation. I dont care about skin color..took a while to adjust to Jodie but she did her job brilliantly.
@@SyncCryoeverything about his performance since he first appeared screams Doctor you absolute egg
Mrs. Peel from _The Avengers_ would totally rock Ruby's dress.
The Doctor's granddaughter Susan was indeed one of the Doctor's original companions when the show first started back in 1963.
I will say this was a better episode than the previous episode I thought the new villain Maestro was an interesting baddie the only bit that ruined the episode for me was the singing and dancing at the end that bit took me out of it and did not feel like Dr. Who.
The scene where The Doctor takes Ruby to an alternate world of 2024 to show her if Maestro was not defeated is a scene that's kind of been done before in a Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) story "Pyramids of Mars" (which is considered one of the most popular Dr. Who serials of fandom) when The Fourth Doctor took Sarah Jane Smith in an alternate 1980 if Sutekh the Destroyer was not stopped.
Also the woman singing is Cilla Black who was huge in the UK during the 1960's.
Hey, nice one! Loaded UA-cam up and it popped straight up with my favourite reaction channel.
Looking forward to seeing what you think of this, and also the rest of the show going forward, well, and back, you know what i mean.
Oh damn, K Dot reference in the first minute! ❤
K-dot in the start up. We chose violence this morning 🤣
The Giggle was from the episode before the Christmas one you skipped to.
Jinkx Monsoon as the Maestro is brilliant casting. They won Ru Paul's Drag Race twice. They're incredibly talented and I'm glad Jinkxy is getting the recognition they deserve. I absolutely love this episode and I loved y'all's reactions as always.
Nice reference to the Kendrick diss of Drake gentlemen! Lol
I’m liking the new season, Who has always been a goofy show with moments of greatness in between and these new episodes have that quality too
Yup! Susan, his granddaughter, was the first companion of the First Doctor!
Also, keep in mind that particular tone of laugh that Maestro gave when crawling out of the piano, the one The Doctor called "The Giggle". It's a reference to something from the 60th Anniversary ep, BUT if we're hearing it here I suspect we'll probably hear it again, so be on the lookout(cause I know I will be). It's connected to the Toymaker that The Doctor mentioned. Can't say much more than that b/c Spoilers ;)
Aren't there any actors in the UK who can be made to pass as Lennon and McCartney? By the way, Christopher Eccleston played John Lennon in a movie, and David Tennant was in a Beatles sketch on Colbert (along with Hugh Laurie, but that's not really anything to do with _Doctor Who)._
I0m loving seeing you guys opinions. A lot of peoples perception got tarnished by later 12 and 13 eras (some things with more reason and basis as others) so its cool to see some takes of someone who's experiencing all together.
There was a great increase in production value in Season 5 too, you guys just haven’t seen it yet.
Ah here we are on a Sunday while I play my MMO.
Love your reactions, glad you liked this one. I feel like the musical at the end was fun but made little sense, so of course RTD did it. I don't think we'll see much like it in the rest of this release block. The Seasons you've seen were 13 episodes but starting with Doc 12 they went to 12 episodes, with Doc 13 they went to 10, then Covid nocked it to 6 for a year +3 specials (essentially 9), and now 15 is getting another reduction to 8 for Disney+
As for companions, you've yet to see my favorites, but there are no bad companions. Series 11-13 have some underdeveloped companions, but none were dislikable.
nice drake reference lmao
It's 8 episodes this season, well 9 if you count the christmas special.
Really? That sucks!!!!
@@nupefromdaville Yep, fraid so 😮
yeah, as others have said, without spoiling any details, the story here directly continues from the 60th anniversary specials that aired immediately before where you guys came in. so you're going to be missing a bit of context, as if you skipped the first few episodes of a season.
i'm sure it will be easy to follow either way, but there was a lot of setup that happened in the three episodes that aired last november.
Did you notice the sign on the roof at the end? It says 'Chris Waites'. The one who waits?????
The reason RTD came back a second time was because the Jodie Whittaker era had such low ratings that the BBC were worried about their show, and they were hopeful that bringing RTD back he could catch lightning in a bottle a second time and revive the show. Unfortunately, the 3 episodes for the 60th anniversary (as well as Ncuti’s first episode, The Church on Ruby Road) didn’t have great ratings in the U.K. so either RTD has lost his touch, or viewers are just not into Doctor Who anymore.
There are only 8 episodes in this season (compared to 13 in most previous seasons), and this might be because we’ve already had the 3 60th anniversary episodes and the Christmas episode, so add them to the 8 in this season, gives us a total of 12 episodes - so almost a full run. Unfortunately, with only 8 episodes in a season, it doesn’t really allow a number of stories to be too whimsical (especially if they don’t work), whereas with 13 episodes you have enough there to take a few risks whilst still keeping to the core of whatever season arc RTD comes up with!
Ruby Road literally broke a record for views on iPlayer so go figure
@@cornparade6874 Current 2 episodes had viewing figures in the top 4 globally of the day too.
This is somewhat true but the fact is viewing figures have changed especially with streaming. It true Jodie had bad figures and her era isn’t as loved or liked as others. The biggest driver is going to be the 7 day viewing figures and probably the viewing figure in the months after all the eps are on streaming. It also worth noting that the next season has basically finished recording.
The way viewing figures are counted and the way people consume television has completely changed with the ever growing nature of streaming services, and the change of weekly releases to binge formatting leaving Who behind until recently.
Viewing figures for the 60th specials were only beat out by special events/weekly shows if I recall, they were the highest viewed shows otherwise that’s for sure. And yes, ratings will be lower than usual… because the internet is rife with review bombing assholes! Things are never as bad in the eyes of the fanbase as they actually seem to be online, it’s a very loud and obnoxious and gross minority that seems to think the NuNuWho regime is the devil’s spawn, “fake woke”, replacement theory show.
Church on Ruby Road was everywhere on reaction UA-cam, everyone took to Ncuti immediately as far as I saw, and I’m pretty sure had better viewing figures than the other 60th episodes… The figures themselves will not be as high as they were in 2008, because no one’s will be unless it’s something to do with the monarch or the Strictly finals lol, but the fandom is more alive online than I’ve seen in years right now. 13’s era was a shame, but it seems we’re back in full swing, you just must be mistaken.
It's legitimately frustrating to me how many people don't understand (or PRETEND not to understand) how viewing figures work. I haven't watched live television in well over a decade, and neither has anyone I know, woth the only exception being my 80+ year old grandparents. Even my 60yo mum and step dad never watch live TV. Streaming figures are literally the only thing that matters in 2024, yet some people are still weirdly obsessed with those archaic figures as if they have any importance.
11:07 The Life Of Ruby Sunday
I think there is more to these stories. I have watched Dr Who since Tom Baker as has RTD. He won't fail the show. Dr Who has not been about singing and dancing. This reminded me of Buffy where the source was a demon. Is this still the Toy Maker or associate? The thing that grabbed me was the Meastro playing the Doctor Who theme which was finished in the Tardis. Thinking they are trapped in a TV show which features other TV and movies. Talking babies, Look Who's Talking, Alien with the Monster, Hocus Pocus with Meastro?????
This episode made me look the devils cord love the reaction i really now want to see your reaction for when you get to the 11th doctor i also have watched you from your first reaction
I was so happy that the doctor talked about Susan
29:52 This here. This is why classic Who endures.
"I bet you the devil's chord is a minorrrrrrrrrrr" was so out of pocket 😭
I really liked this episode and loved your reactions.
The pantheon could also be a reference to the pantheon of discord, A group of extra-dimensional beings that live to cause chaos, one shown a lot in the extended universe like the sarah jane adventures is the Trickster and his Brigade
I did meet Joe Jackson in 2009.
Mustard on the beat 😭
In this day and age everyone's a critic!
But all you gotta remember is that the Doctor is not for Christmas or Regeneration, the Doctor is for LIFE.
And he/she has been mine since living in a junk yard with his granddaughter in 1963. (Yup I'm that old) And I've never ever been disappointed.
Just enjoy the ride guys as we're so lucky to be still getting such captivating TV after 61 years. 😂😂
...... ............
'Ello Guvna' 😂
🤣😂
@@Syntell gotcha 😂
BBC/BadWolf is still in charge of production and Disney is doing distribution. The fact that this is a soft reboot for a new audience is bound to influence how RTD writes these first episodes. But the tone...
If this feels Disney, hold tight for the Smith era. Very fairy tale with a gutpunch of darkness. Think Disney golden age animation, and Bambi's mom is...spoilers.
mate if disney has money in the pot they have influence over it. they already confirmed in the specials and xmas specials that disney asked for things to be changed
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 What did they change?
@@Velociraptour They are referring to the Doctor appearing earlier in the christmas special, they SUGGESTED it and RTD loved the idea so he went with it. The thing is they can suggest, not dictate, RTD is allowed to say no if he dislikes the idea. He liked the idea of the Doctor appearing earlier and was cool with it, so he wrote a fun little bit with the snowman'd joke.
@@chazo1367 oooooh that time they did a screen test. Got it.
Some of the effects you will see in s5 or 6 are much better than what we see in these brand new episodes..... you'll see...
31:35, Ncuti is gay himself
BBC isn’t government owed but pubic owed as we have to pay for it through a tv license fee once a year, so it’s independent and therefore can hold government/other parties to account through its news and documentaries… Doctor who is owed fully by bbc and bad wolf productions, Disney have paid towards its making so they could show it on Disney+ throughout the world, helping it reach an even bigger audience and help the show be even better with a vastly increased budget… so a win, win I would say… Ncuti is a wonderful doctor and will be a classic Doctor in the future 100%, Millie is wonderful too as Ruby and I can’t wait for the rest of the series/season… ✌🏽
I think you meant “public owned” 😂
@@calebfairchild1830 Lol… maybe 🤦🏻♂️🤪🤣
Jinkx was so fkin fun!! Aside from Jodie being a woman and Ncuti being black/queer, a large majority of the fanbase really loves the broody old man Doctor, which recent Doctor Who stories just haven’t been writing for. But Ncuti is an example of a goofier Doctor being done well, imo. And hey- When shit hits the fan, I can ASSURE you, this man has the chops to back it up!!
If y’all get a spot in your schedule anytime soon, Sex Education is 100% worth your time and Ncuti is equally as endearing (if not, more) in that show. Not sure if coming of age is really your thing but there’s some really bloody cool people involved in that one too, including Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackey, Asa Butterfield, Simone Ashley, Mikael Persbrandt…
I enjoyed this episode over the first one. The twist at the end was too cheesy for me but I enjoyed this episode. The Maestro was a cool villain.
Enjoyed your reaction
Seen Rekkai's breakdown yet? ua-cam.com/video/4dQ6YzHuZAs/v-deo.html
Thank you so much Guvnor!
You guys should have started watching dr who from the 60th anniversary specials not the Christmas special. Then you would understand the giggle.
@@MostlyBritish_Gaming but then they would have been spoiled about S4.
Yeah there was far more pushback about Billie Piper's casting than Freema Agyeman's. (And even more so for the next companion you're about to meet in Season 4...!) I think Martha not being as popular as Rose is more because she was written so pathetically in terms of her obsession with the doctor... I wish she'd been able to stand on her own two feet away from that storyline a bit more (like she did in the last couple of episodes of Season 3 and Human Nature).
rekkai was not holding back this episode
Lol
Oh you are going to love donna in season 4.
I'm just going to assume it corrects back the past too, because it's too much of a mess for me to think about otherwise, and I'm not giving up all that music, even in this show.
He might be. who cares? Might be my favorite quote of 2024.
I really want to say a lot but i wont for spoiler reasons.. ill just say, for me, this genuinely feels like a completely different show to what ive been watching for 18 years
I do have issue with the term "haters" it's a generic name calling for people that may not like a certain style of the show.... some people didn't like tennant or capaldi but they were never labelled with a generic name... just because the bbc joined certain current western world bandwagons it seems like people can't not like the product without attacks...... there probably are a few people that didn't like jodie (or this current show) because they are trolls but not me nor any person I know... (my son attends a very diverse school and they all stopped watching it too)....
Ya uk...never got Stranger thing a.. 😢😢😢😮😮😮
Wait didn’t you watch the 60th?
Better that they don't. There are more spoilers for previous seasons they haven't watched yet
We only watched the Ncuti special and I just found out that they're 3 other specials
@@nupefromdaville Please do not watch those specials before you finish season 4. There are major spoilers
@@vrindam1247 ok
50th is much better
I was excited for Jodi as the doctor and only watched broad church to check her out as an actress though I expected her role to be a lot bigger in that. However I was extremely disappointed with her performance in doctor who. now i try to keep in mind she wasnt writing the stories nor directing the show so i dont know how much of the stuff i disliked was her being told to act specific ways but a lot of it definitely is down to too many bad stories. they were trying to do too many things but also had shorter seasons so they couldnt really do anything they wanted to in any good way but also event he one off political episodes were just done so poorly, theres so many other shows that do such a better job at social commentary and something about chris chibnals run was just poorly handled. even the stories i liked at the start got ruined by them just not knowing what they were doing. most doctors it only takes me 2-3 episodes to start really feeling them as the character. I think theres only 3 or 4 scenes where i buy jodi as the doctor and i always think "why didnt we get more of that?!" obviously i cant go into details cause of spoilers but you will see there are some guest characters that knock it out of the park in like 10 minutes while jodi takes 2 whole seasons to start to feel comfortable in the role.
Just nicking idea,a from other production,s.😮😢😢😢
Could ruby be jenny daughter or ruby might be Susan biological granddaughter?
Well, all the artforms are externalizations of inner emotional need. A catharsis. The artforms that we have are accepted and long encultured languages which are patterns and pattern recognition is much upon which we as human beings rely upon for the basic functioning of our existence. From what we see, Maestro is all for pattern degradation, in a way, much like Davros' reality bomb.
Of course, when artists have stepped out of the accepted forms, we have anything from mild controversy to outright hostility and anger - as happened with the impressionists back in the late 1800s who faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France and as with Jazz with it's improvision over traditional structure which was seen as barbaric and immoral. They were initially seen as destructive, but they are a distinctly neurodivergently distinct form of language which had to be leant in order to be appreciated. New Doctor, new companion, new patterns.
Bring the yeti back
The music was meh except for the Ruby tune. Yellow submarine did the idea better with 60’s psychedelia. Jimmi Hendrix could have shown up , maybe as a time lord or Ossyrian. Definitely Mark Ronson and Sean Lennon could have contributed yo the soundtrack. At least the daptones.
You would have met the Toymaker one episode before you joined NCuti's run...you might want to see that last special before the Church on Ruby Rd.
You know ncutie hired security when he got the role as the doctor because of the people who hated having a gay black doctor.
You need to hold your comments till you get to jodies time.... she was outstanding in broadchurch but bombed as dr who...... I'm not sure if it was her fault or the showrunner but she was pretty terrible....for me, I was looking forward to a change as i found moffatt towards the end a bit too serious and predictable.... 4 or 5 episodes into jodie, I gave up.... and I've never done that ever... never missed an episode.... my son, his girlfriend, their friends all the same, my work colleagues (some big fans) the same.... I know u may not believe me but just wait till you get to it .....
Might be a hater but I think this episode was a bit trash, Disney has there hands on it and they love to change things that don't fit their agenda, so I don't have high hopes for this doctor and season unfortunately.
BUT prove me wrong please!
Comparing these 2 episodes to where you are in the past (s3 and soon to be s4) is like chalk and cheese..... its like a completely different (and inferior) show.... shame... this new stuff has 1 or 2 ok things but as a rule, it's shallow and just too ridiculous for me....
The fearful thing is due to these pantheons of Gods. The Toymaker was very dangerous and when he heard the Giggle, he got scared. Last episode, I do not think it was fear or terrified but it was due to the monster being created in a certain way. He even says to Ruby that he is not scared usually, he has seen a lot. With Maestro, it is completely different.
8 episodes not 10.
Rose was supposed to be a Ruby. But she became a mary jane with that S2E1 transference with that ghost simping to be third wheeling to just have a body too. Ruby is the equal to Ncuti Gatwa as much as the "Sexy *wink*" - David bounces with Billie's popstar status. Its a cool era of Who. New villains and new type of relationships of the Tardis' voyagers.
Yep the doctor cowering like this is very off. It is a god entity but he's just cowering. But you'll have the idiots who say every piece of writing from the show is 100% great and it can do no wrong.
Ya good production...but the comedy doe,a not work.
Ya..she was crap...and the script,s.
Absolutley hate it , Can we go back to the Martha era please ?
We haven't left.
Season finale will be up tomorrow, and then onward to season 4
naah, this was a very strong episode with a very strong villain.
I like this episode.
