RIP Verity Lambert, show wouldn't be here without her
Thank goodness for Verity. I'm glad she was able to see the show come back within her lifetime, naysayers be damned.
yes, very true
Btw, Verity Lambert (who the episode was dedicated to) is the woman who created Doctor Who
DextroDNA technically Sydney Newman created it she was the first producer though
Specifically, the first producer. Also, the first female producer in the BBC.
StormWolf: That's actually not true. They said she was in 'An Adventure in Space and Time', but there were quite a few female producers at the BBC before her.
there were these ladies

The actor who played Alonso was The Ray in Crisis on Earth X. Back in Army of Ghosts The Doctor talked about how he likes saying Allons-y and wishes he could meet someone named Alonso so he could say "allons-y Alonso."
It made me sad that they didn't recognize Russel Tovey.
Also, Constantine in Legends of tomorrow episode 310 said allonsy Alonso as well
Furious Magpie That's where I fell in love with him.
To be far, some of their patreon reactions are pre-recorded (note the Christmas Yoda shirt though it could be because of the special). Maybe they recorded it before he showed up? Maybe not.
He also plays the werewolf in "Being Human" (UK).
This is one of the saddest episodes of Doctor Who I've seen. So many deaths. I was pissed that the asshole survived but it gave me relief to see the old man live with a chance at a better life. I'm excited for the Partners in Crime reaction.
His name pops up later. I recall the Mr. Copper Foundation mentioned at least once.
I don't understand how he can be this confused by one word. It's not a reference. There's no layers to it. There's no context for it. It's exactly what it seems to be. It's just a fun way of saying 'let's go'. I've never seen someone's brain reject a single foreign word this hard, and it's been going on for two seasons.
Late reply. As a Brit I feels like it’s the nature of being American that is confusing them. Until 2010’s when the teaching of Spanish became more widely done I feel like most British people learn remedial French compulsory where as my understanding is in America (because of Mexico) it’s more common to learn Spanish, so perhaps if it were ‘Vamos’ they’re get it more I don’t jnown
@@tree1568 Spanish & French are equally common languages to learn in the american school system
@@maurice9766 That's definitely not true. According to American Councils for International Education, 69% of K-12 students enrolled in a language are enrolled in Spanish, while only 12% are enrolled in French. This is probably because taking a language class is a requirement in many high schools and Spanish is often known as the "easier" language to learn compared to the others. However, even putting that aside, you also have to take into account that Americans are simply exposed to Spanish in general more than any other language. The U.S. borders with Mexico and is home to a lot of Mexican immigrants. As a result, Spanish is by far the second most spoken language in the U.S., with 41 million speakers compared to the third most spoken language, Chinese, with only 3.5 million speakers. And French, by the way, is only the sixth most spoken language in the U.S. with 1.2 million speakers.
And yes, for the sake of moving back towards the original purpose of this topic, it definitely seems as though French is spoken a fair bit more in the U.K. than it is in the U.S., though I'm actually having a bit of trouble finding a good source on specific percentages. But Rowan's reasoning for why Americans know a lot more Spanish and British people know a lot more French seems sound.
@@hdns4 okay, youre probably right, i made that statement based on my own experiences (ive been to 6 schools sbd half have tautht french wiyh yhe other half teaching spanish)
@@tree1568 we're not the ones who went out and murdered the locals to take their gold
"No thats thanksgiving" Its a UK show. We don't have that holiday :P
You should. Another excuse to eat a ton of savory foods!
@@leakypeach6250 it’s an American holiday
@@Haiden.Ambrose I realize, my guy. I was joking around.
Nice Meeting you Wilfred if you need anything just give me a knock

Ten decades would be too soon.
Patreons see these episodes a week early.
a a Patreon magic
"biased against fat people"...lol...just you WAIT until next week!
Spoiler!
9th -FANTASTIC!
10th -Allonsy
11th -GERONIMO!
12th Don't forget to subscribe to the official doctor who youtube channel (T-T).
So true
12th- Clahra!
12th: -Shut Up!
12- my spoon, shut up, dont be lasagna
Oh man... that is so true xDDD
I kind of love that they describe one of the biggest pop stars in the world, with something like 80 million record sales as 'she was a singer in the 90s'.
Kylie Minogue as Astrid was a great treat as well, also Astrid = Tardis
I remember that fat guy (Morvin Van Hoff) as Duke from Tracy Beaker.
Yeahhh
Thats where i knew him from aswell :P
Ah, glad to see i'm not the only person :)
So many people don't seem to know Kylie Minogue... it's strange, since even I know her, and I am not into pop music at all. ^^
Rooq Branwen She didn't really crack America.
Are you British or Australian?.
Because she got her start on Aussie soap tv show neighbors.
And neighbors is hugely popular in both countries.
I'm German. And I know her only through her music. Not much of a soap guy anyway. ^^
I'm British, I know her music, I'm too young and disinterested in soaps to have seen her on neighbours but I think even as a small child, I was aware of the fact that she was on it.
Kylie and football are huge everywhere but America.
David Tennant's mum tragically passed away during the filming of this episode. It just adds more weight to the overall sombre mood.
The 903 year old speech was so epic when I first watched this
"You can't even sink the Titanic!"
Probably one of my favorite lines of this episode. Definitely gonna be pulling up your full reaction to see it.
R.I.P. Verity Lambert. The OG Producer of Doctor Who.
Remember how in Utopia the Doctor said that the human race always tends to return to the basic humanoid form, regardless of whatever other mutations we might go through, since it's basically just the optimal, most efficient way to construct a body? The implication is basically that a lot of other species are like that too, which is why there's so many "humans" on other planets which are technically other species, but basically evolved to a similar stage of existence.
Wolf6120: The expanded media gives another explanation. At the start of Time Lord civilisation Rassilon was *slightly* egotistical and as well as doing a ton of other, slightly insane, tyrannical nutjob stuff, he distributed the template for the Time Lord appearance across time and space. That triggered parallel evolution and caused thousands of different species to evolve to resemble them (and him, particularly). As the Doctor says, he doesn't look human - we look Time Lord. That explains why the variety of intelligent life in the Doctor Who universe is slightly narrow.
I think it makes a bit more sense that it's just a powerful nutjob with a God complex altering the universe than the idea that we are somehow 'perfect'. Scientifically, our appearance isn't so incredible that the universe would agree and make every other species resemble us.
Some Random Guy
Well considering the universes other designs are slimes, potato people or made of suckers and/or bubble wrap. I think humanity drives a hard argument for being the ideal design.
NekoVira: Hah, yeah, but I'd love to be a talking rhino. Those guys are ripped.
....okay that's one.
next episode...
DONNA!!!!!!
I like how Aaron at the end of this reaction was like "Uhhh... Donna" like he was pretending to remember her name lol
noob its
DONNAÀAAAAAAAA
ITS KYLIE!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!
IT'S TORCHWOOD BOY!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! :D
Fun fact: She was Cammy White in the first Street Fighter Movie.
So excited for series 4! My favourite series with my favourite companion and my favourite Doctor/companion dynamic, can't wait!
same, same, same, same. Yes.
I agree with everything you just said! I can't wait to see their reactions to that incredible series!
SAME!
Wasn't it nice of the producers to give Bernard Cribbins such a minor role?
Is that sarcasm 😂
nice of him to accept it!
@@davile_1428 no this is a minor role they brought him back later cuz they like them and they needed an actor because the guy who played Donna's dad died and instead of recasting the character they had the character die off and brought back Bernard cribbins as Wilfred and said he was her granddad
@@plantainsame2049 Wooooosh
@@joelmole3157 You are so F****** stupid that your God Present Kill's brain cells put your phone in the microwave and smash your computer and goo live in a well for the betterment of all mankind
I'm sure their opinions of Donna will change very very soon
Dylan Shadowstar It's the natural course everyone goes through. Donna in The Runaway Bride, "annoying". By the middle of series 4, "best companion ever".
And now, my favorite season and 10th companion begin. I can't wait for next week x.x
This upcoming companion is, by far, one of my favorite! I hope they enjoy the ride!
Technically, the earliest Doctor Who has been (from this episode) was the creation of the Earth in 'The Runaway Bride' - even if it was only for a couple of minutes
But if going for a time period lasting a whole episode, so far it was 'The Shakespeare Code'
I know, and he travelled to a lot of other places further in the past in Classic Who. I meant from what Blind Wave had seen (i.e New Who)
The Almighty Geoff: Yeah, the Shakespeare one was 1599. And yeah, that's not that far compared to Classic Who and future episodes of New Who. Episode 2... Ahem, not spoiling it, but that's quite a bit earlier than 1599.
Some Random Guy yep, just a tad. One of my favourites in my personal favourite series of the show to date. Probably the best one in the first half at least 😊
I do wish they had the budget to actually shoot more on-site episodes outside of the UK like the one that's coming up in Season 4 (two episodes from now, I think?). Like Shane said, Egypt, Japan, and other parts of the world would be REALLY cool to see but at the end of the day there's only so much you can do when shooting in just the UK most of the time.
bannakaffalatta stop!
bannakaffalatta proud!
bannakaffalatta CYBORG!!!!!!
So badass when I first saw this.
"Information: You are all going to die." My favourite line, i write it on my hand, i say it to my friends. I love it.
“Shane that is, that is you.”
*FINALLY!*
This is quite a depressing Christmas episode! Can't wait till next week with the new companion. Especially with the ending 😉
I can, D____ N____ is my least favorite companion of New Who so far
Bill was in one season and honestly, was so forgettable I forgot her name was Bill until I just looked her up to see who you were referring to.
I don't remember ever having a problem with Clara, I'll have to wait till Blind Wave gets there to remember.
I personally cant wait till they meet Amy and Rory
Bill is great (I never finished 10 though, so I don't have the whole scope of her character). Clara was okay but her 10 diffrent exits made it feel like she had overstayed her welcome. Love Donna!
Martha just deserves all the love 😊😊. I really liked Rose season 1 and 2 but the intense Rose and 10/Rose fan kinda sour'd the character for me post that :/ .. plus the season 4 finale didn't help.
I'm being serious, I didnt forget who the character was, but when I read the comment mentioning Clara and Bill, I was literally like "Who the Fuck is Bill" then googled the name and was like "Oh yeah, her"
The name just escaped me, probably because I typically associate the name Bill with men, the only other female character named Bill ever saw was Billie, Kalie Cuoco's character in Charmed season 8
I really hope they remember Mr Copper's name. When it get's mentioned at the end of series four and you realise he's still helping the Doctor from afar it's so great. One of my favourite moments honestly.
Eric done gets confuzzled when the characters don't speek Amurikan!
Apparently they watch with subtitles actually, which is probably ideal.
I know right ? I don't see what's so weird about "Allons-y". Plus it's been 2 seasons and he's still not used to it.
Kylie Minogue was HUGE in the early 2000s, that album had a lot of songs that played on the radio and mtv all the time. She also had a couple of hits in the 80s I think.
Mats Martensson I try to
I mean, it's brilliantly entertaining with how terrible it is, but it is terrible. Even 12 year old me thought so.
When I was a kid I loved watching her music videos. It's amazing how these three who are older than me don't know Kylie. She was internationally famous.
Techurious they have weird blind spots sometimes lol
Techurious
Not necessarily. I’d probably have forgotten her by now if I didn’t have this episode to remind me periodically. There’s probably lots of comparably famous people I’ve forgotten. I can’t recall any of her music now.
This has to be one of my top episodes, certainly among the Christmas specials at least. It's always great when you get a cast of one-off characters, because you have no guarantee that they'll be okay, which this episode uses to perfect effect by making them all distinct and likable in a relatively small timeframe. It's so sad and beautiful all at once, plus the Doctor has that awesome speech midway.
I agree. getting to know a crew of characters, not knowing who will die and who will survive, and usually a couple great Doctor moments. probably my favorite reoccurring trope/episode style of Doctor Who. its also so reusable, as long as you diversify the setting and conflict and the characters, unlike the two space/possession ones I always get mixed up.
I can have a house! Like a proper house! With a garden! And a door!
carealoo744 *and a dog
My subtitles said it was a door
@@powersthetiddygoblin he says door
It is returning through the dark
Doctor, you have met your mark
Your song is ending, so don't cry
When you hear him knock **** times.
jeck jeck They've got quite a lot to get through before that. I honestly can't wait
Wish they made the reference that Alonso and Ray (The Flash) were the same actors
LANO! Lol! YOU GOT ME WITH THAT BEGGINING! Peter Cushing! XD!
Yay! Doctor Who! We’re officially back in business! It’s a shame they didn’t comment their thoughts on the updated DW intro. I really wanted to know what they thought of it. Their reactions to all the deaths in this episode were hilarious and was exactly how I reacted the first time watching.😂 Can’t wait! Series 4 is finally starting! My favourite series! I’m so looking forward to seeing Eric’s reaction to the last minutes of the next episode as well as the new companion! She is returning! Aaaaaaaaah! :D
You explained to Eric FOUR TIMES that "Alonsi" means "Lets go!"
Yet he still says "I don't get it"
12:55
Thanks to a beer commercial, all I can think of when I hear that song (specifically Kylie's version) is Australian cricketer Merv Hughes.
That old guy at the news-stand was great.
Gnome Saiyan Wasn't he?! Funny you should say that.. ;-)
After this is when the show really gets good. Also the guy at the end “i can have a house- a proper house! W-with a garden!” 😂 so funny but i also cant help but feel really bad for the guy too
Next episode, PLEASE show the whole of the window scene! That's always my favorite.
Now, no-one would have known as their didn't show this weeks opening title but the theme is now different. It's now the Rock version of the theme which is my personal favourite. Love how hyped it gets me for the episode! Also, I love how Eric just doesn't get the whole 'Allons-y ' thing which is funny but I hope now he just now enjoys it cause after all, it is an old earth saying ;) hehe
Series 4 is my Favourite, although a very sad series also
'The Circle must be broken' So excited for those guys coming back and also for David Tennant's little Barty Crouch moment.
i didn't notice before wilfred was in this special......
The first time I binged the show, I was confused in End of Time when Ten said he and Wilf keep running into each other. Wilfred also told Donna that Ten had disappeared in front of him on Christmas. Upon my next viewing, it all made so much more sense...
It was a happy accident not only has Cribbins been in Who before but he was written in to replace Donna's father seen in the runaway bride. Sadly the actor passed away unexpectedly in real life and his passing is referenced in the end of time pt2 "Have that, have that on me" beautifully done it was.
Donna! Donna! Donna! DONNA! DONNA, DONNA DONNA DONNA DONNNAAAA!!!!!
Great episode! Can’t wait for series 4, my favourite series!
Glad you guys enjoyed this one. I really, really want them to learn to love Donna. She has some of the best moments.
In the very first story in 1963. they went back to 10,000 BC.
"Never shoot on location", boy do we have the episode for you coming up
10:27 Verity Lambert, the first Dr who showrunner.
"she was a pop singer back in the nineties"???? Kylie is still going strong and has been a massive star worldwide since 1997, just not in the USA
CONSTANTINE WHO WAS IN TORCHWOOD SAID ALLONSY ALONSO TO LEO WHO IS MARRIED TO RAY WHO IS ALONSO
In Runaway Bride we went back and saw the earth being created, that was the farthest back we've ever gone so far.
2:28 Eric just said what I've been puzzling over for years. The TARDIS has so many incredible features, and it doesn't have a "return to owner" protocol (chained to either a key or the sonic screwdriver)? Considering the number of times the Doctor gets separated from it, either by time or space, I'd think he would have added one.
Donald Watson there where a few scenes where the tardis did teleport to the key if able
But he probably had the key inside so that didn't work
Verity Lambert, she was the creator of Doctor Who in 1963. The idea came from her !
Archus Not exactly. She was the first producer in the sixties not the creator.
Not quite correct^^
She was indeed the woman who has created the concept of the series, and she was the first producer.
Archus Sydney Newman...
He was the director of BBC
If I remember correctly, since much of America probably doesn't really know Kylie Minogue for her pop music career, nor her Neighbours acting career, maybe you might know her better as Cammy, from the amazing, live action, Street Fighter movie lol
Well, I appreciated your Styx reference, Calvin.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I'm so excited for this series. It's one of my favourites.
Variety Lambert was the first female producer in the bbc in 1963 when the first doctor who episode aired
Series 4 here we come 2008 back in the good old days
Even though the TARDIS originally lands in the future, the furthest back in time 'Doctor Who' has explored at this point is in 'The Girl in the Fireplace' (unless you count the brief Earth creation in 'The Runaway Bride').
(edit: No, Shakespeare came before Reinette so the earliest point in time visited by this point (discounting 'The Runaway Bride') was in fact in 'The Shakespeare Code'. Thank you, Ian :p)
classic who went way further back than the girl in the fire place
Well yes, obviously. I'm referring to the 'Doctor Who' they have watched ("at this point" meaning at this point in their viewing).
'Girl in the Fireplace' is 1700s; 'Shakespeare Code ' late 1500s/early 1600s.
Also, as erosion271 says, Classic Who went ALL OVER the place in history - Stone Age, French Revolution, Roman Empire, Wild West, C13th China etc (and that's just the First Doctor) - so it's kind of weird seeing them semi-complaining about the show not going to more diverse places/times. But, bless 'em, they're not to know...
Ian Cossey Original comment has been edited, thank you.
Having checked:
The first past date of 'The Girl in the Fireplace' is confirmed as 1727 and of course, that changes as the Doctor jumps years ahead.
And the Doctor guesses 1599 as the date in 'The Shakespeare Code' but he obviously can't be far off enough for it to be post-1727.
OJWH Thanks for checking the specific dates - always interesting to know! Shakespeare was born 1564 and died 1616. 1599 was around the height of his fame and output (I believe he finished Hamlet around 1601), so I guess that all makes sense, although...
Macbeth, which is obviously heavily referenced in the episode, was a few years off (1603-ish) - since most people believe its Scottish setting (and possibly its themes) were 'inspired' by / a reaction to the ascension of James I to the throne after Elizabeth's death in 1603 - so... I think maybe the episode's history is a little off.
That plus, if I remember rightly, amongst all those lines Shakespeare gets quoted back at him (and writes down to use later), I'm sure at least a couple were from plays he would've already written by that point. (I'm a bit of a Shakespeare groupie, can you tell?) But hey, its Dr. Who. If we can swallow the existence of Carrionites, a year or two's discrepancy shouldn't be anything to get too worked up about! Thanks again. :-)
FINALLY!
thanks for not giving us Doctor Who and the Daleks
Variety Lambert Obe the late founder of Doctor Who
What's hilarious is that he said he was there at the story for Christmas & is Crowley who apparently helped make gallifrey... So those are two separate times where the doctor could have seen Crowley and used that face to remind him that he is a demon... Because of the things that he has done.
Doctor Who used to do historic episodes all the time, I think they were even the majority for a while!
the actor who played alonso (russel tovoy]) is ray from crisis on earth x
It has already been said, but I'd also recommend watching ITV's Primeval from 2007. Could see it being a show you guys would enjoy, unfortunately have never found any reactions to it.
Russell Tovey "Alonso" was also one of the leads in the UK "Being Human" and its brilliant. Get a lot more of his startled squeaks
I actually want to watch those old Peter Cushing Dr. Who movies.
In utopia, the doctor said something about how humans spread out everywhere, change, but inevitably revert back to the same basic shape. Like a virus lol.
Also, in addition to "allons-y!", he tends to say "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry"
LOOOOL i forgot about that bit with the Queen 😅 also you guys don't know Kylie?! Wow! That's so interesting hahaha
next episode....funniest moment EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys... TURN LEFT
It’s happening again!
Wait, why aren't they doing Genesis of the Daleks, they could have done this like last week.
Stowe is town outside of Cardiff. It's a welsh in-joke.
The Doctor Donna
When The Doctor Said " It Really Does That?" I Fricken LOST it...
I love these reactions so much!!!!!
I remember there was a PC game involving the Starship Titanic. If I remember right, it was written by the creator of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I wonder if this episode was inspired by that...
Hard to decide which is the best season of doctor who but for some reason this season was the one that ensured I'd wake up at stupid o'clock to watch each episode.
Next episode is sooo good
Anyone else notice how similar the angels are to the robots of death. Not only is the story similar but both robots have sharp, defined facial features with thick lips and Moulder hair. Even their voices are almost identical
Second Christmas special he went back to the formation of the Earth.
You should've watched made room for a classic story called Genesis of the Daleks before starting series 4. It would help but oh well.
The only episode I managed to get my dad to watch since it stars his fave pop star
Stowe is a town outside of Cardiff. So it's a welsh in joke
onto the next!~
I have two episodes of season 10 left and I started season 1 in the beginning of February.
Joshua Buehn And then, Classic who?
Looking back this episode was basically The Poseidon Adventure in spaaaaace
They told you what it means, though! Let's go!
I'm so glad DW reaction is back
The end makes me think of the Battle of Coruscant
Cant wait for a certain cameo early next season... wonder who will catch it first.. you all know who i mean ;)
Actually nuWho had been further back than Shakespeare..as last Christmas special had a trip to the time earth was just forming ;)
And of course the original show had lots of episodes further back in the past..or a doctor who had only companions not from earth
Elana: He has done in New Who, as well. Jack is from a human colony in the 51st Century. And he also mentioned in a Big Finish play that he isn't even certain that his ancestors were human at all. We just assumed that they were because he looks like us (but so does the Doctor).
For the alien thing I was referring to times he traveled only with non humans..not crews mixed with humans and non humans or stuff that only lasted for one episode.
And of course talking about nuWho in the comments has always the difficulty that I have to be careful not to use any knowledge from future episodes, which can be difficult sometimes(in the sense of "did that happen already"..not in the sense of it being hard to not want to spoil anything)
In the old series they went back as far as the Big Bang.
ytmndman: Castrovalva, right? Pretty good story.
WILF!
StarWarFan You've just ruined one of my favourite DW characters...
I have been waiting for this episode for ages on the channel and apparently I came out two days ago
Why didn’t I see?
R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins, you magnificent man.
