Hi, I'm Chris! Welcome to my channel. I react to movies & tv shows hoping to represent what it's really like to experience them for the first time. If you enjoy, you can support me by liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and letting me know your thoughts in the comments.
If I made a list of 1000 possibilities last week's ending could have meant this would not have been on there. I was taught totally off guard and I didn't expect to see The Doctor dealing with the issues this week brought to the surface. It also should be noted Donna is the absolute best.

![[Live] : ONE 168 วันนี้!! "โจนาธาน vs ซุปเปอร์เล็ก"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0jIN65KgJsI/mqdefault.jpg)
The actress playing Jenny is David Tennant's wife and her dad is Peter Davison who played the fifth Doctor.
(I was JUST getting ready to tell him exactly the same thing.😉 Isn’t David the best, most natural Doctor?! Matty’s awesome, too but David is just perfection)
This technically makes the Doctor his own father-in-law
To be clear. They were not married at the time.
@@plothole181 This is how they met.
@@plothole181 lol. Correct. But they did MEET on the set of this episode. Where she played the Doctor’s daughter - which in real life…she IS the Doctor’s daughter, albeit a different Doctor & the daughter of the actor, not actually the alien Doctor from Gallifrey. But still weird af. Can u imagine?! Being one Doctor’s daughter & also married to a different (and the MF’ing GOAT😉) Doctor?! It’s almost the timey wimey feeling. Wibbly wobbly for sure
The Doctor's Daughter is played by David Tennant's real life wife, they met on this show. She is also the real life daughter of the fifth Doctor Peter Davidson. 🤯
Jenny didn't actually regenerate. Thats often misunderstood. It was the energy from the terraformer that brought her back to life.
i was just coming to say this
I totally didn't get that before. Thanks.
Plus, regeneration just doesn't work this way. She hasn't changed
(Han Solo) That's not how regeneration works!
Jenny was played by Georgia Moffett who then became Georgia Tennant after marrying David, her dad was also the 5th doctor who was played by Peter Davison.
Jenny is the Doctor's daughter, but the actress is also the Doctor's daughter. Georgia and David also have a daughter.
And Georgia Moffett went to school with the daughter of Colin Baker (the Sixth Doctor)
And their son is Ty Tennant, who played young Aegon Targaryen in HotD - the one who was at the window, um, bestowing his beneficence upon the people of King's Landing passing below.
@@Dmitriy.0 They have three daughters.
Not quite his own grandpa…..
The Tardis is sentient. She has a mind of her own and frequently gets upset with The Doctor.
I am adopting that line "The TARDIS knows best"
Don't know how many kids he had. But Susan Foreman was his granddaughter. Susan being the first companion.
I think somewhere in the wiki it says 13, but I don’t remember where wiki got that. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m sure many people will tell you this but I shall jump in, here you are watching British history- Georgia Moffat (daughter of Peter Davidson, former doctor) and David Tennant meeting for the first time, they’ve been happily married for years and have 5 kids.
I love this episode “make the foundation of your world a man who never would!”
And Donna showing her intelligence subtly here, just quietly going along and working out it’s only been a week.
The revelation that the war has only been going for a week was mind-blowing. This one has a real Golden Age Sci-fi feel to it.
I'm only here for the comments of "The Doctor married his daughter who is the daughter of a Doctor so she's the Doctor's Daughter Wife" 🤣
"Who in the universe...has the ability to intercept the TARDIS? Slam the doors shut and say, 'Forget your plans...you're coming where I choose.'"
Usually, it's the TARDIS itself
HERself. Yes. She always takes him where he needs to go.
Nigel Terry who played General Cobb was quite an actor. His film roles included Prince John in "The Lion in Winter" and King Arthur in "Excalibur".
Thanks. He looked very familiar, but I can’t say I know him at all.
It boggles my mind how people can post the same bit of information one poster after the next. Not just here but other videos too. Do people not read the comments first? “Oh I know already posted this but I’M gonna post it anyway” 🙄
It does get to be a lot.
Ah, the lovely story of how David Tennat met his wife... that time she played his daughter 🤔😅 They're great though honestly.
David really got the job of his dreams and then married the daughter of one of his heroes.
The Doctor saying he should get a remote for the TARDIS was a reference to the last time the Sontarans appeared, and the Doctor did briefly have a remote.
Don’t forget the TARDIS self-destruct button from much later.
Big Finish, who do the Doctor Who audio plays, did a spin off called *Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter.* So, not a television spin off. But a spin off.
We've never met the Doctor's kid. However, the Doctor's original companion in 1963 was a character called Susan, who is (or, rather because of the Time War, was) his granddaughter.
She recently did another set of the audio dramas.
One of the best short speeches, and one of the many hints that the rage of the 9th Doctor didn't fully leave when he became the 10th Doctor, beyond even his 'no second chances' bit in the Christmas Special when he first appeared.
I think he's become angrier since the regeneration, if anything.
The chap with the white beard is the late,great Nigel Terry...a great abd ever underrated actor 👍❤️🎩
OVER/UNDER on how many posts saying "Jenny is David Tennant's wife and her dad is Peter Davison who played the 5th Doctor"?
42
@@CrankyGrandmaI see what you did there, and I'm taking the over. It's the "Viggo Mortenson's Foot" of the Who-niverse
@@4partharmony208 It's the episode that runs in real time.
I love that David met his wife on Dr Who. It’s so fitting! 😊
There was a question online asking people what they had in their houses that reminded them of Doctor Who and she answered something like, "Well, I mean."
And the question for Peter, “What’s the strangest thing a fan gave you?”
Peter: “A granddaughter.”
I've seen this episode so many times. How am I only now realizing that, THAT'S KING ARTHUR!
It's funny picking up that David Tennant has a type. So many guest stars fit that type.
Two we know that he's dated do. I read his first crush was Madonna.
I love how much you pay attention to the music ☺️ Murray Gold is magic
When he makes the heart beat sounds…
Unfortunatly Jenny has never really come up again in the show. BUT she's had multiple volumes and appearences in audio adventures (including alongside her dad, Peter Davison [The Fifth Doctor]), and in a couple multi-Doctor comic specials.
0:22 Apart from this one off, in classic Who the Time Lords had the power to intecept the Tardis / summon the Doctor. They used it from time to time to send him on dangerous missions - sometimes by effectively blackmailing him. Of course, since they were wiped out at the end of the Time War, it's no longer a problem.
Several beings did intercept the Tardis, but mostly because the Doctor really didn't know how to steer it properly in the old days. The Great Intelligence was one. The Celestial Toymaker (played by the late great Michael Gough, aka Batman's butler in the Burtonverse) was another. Marco Polo's group actually took the Tardis "hostage" in a sense, carrying it with them on their caravan. Of course, we don't get to see that because it's one of the stories the BBC erased back in the great purge.
The Daleks like to pretend they can intercept it, but that's only if the Doctor lets them to lower their guard. Don't tell them, though, we don't want to ruin their self-esteem.
The Master.... eehh, he *could*, but chooses not to. Too easy. He's the kind of bad guy that likes to overcomplicate his evil plan.
_since they were wiped out at the end of the Time War, it's no longer a problem_ --That"s looking on the bright side.
That’s a very good point! The Hath should be translated because of the TARDIS.
There is a Jenny spin off in the form of Big Finish audio dramas. I haven't listened to them myself, but Big finish usually produces quality work.
Oooh the irony of this episode is hilarious!! Also one of my favourites!
Because you complimented the performance by the actor who played Cobb, I want to plug two of his movies. Although Nigel Terry spent most of his career on stage, he made his film debut in one of the greatest acting master classes ever made: _The Lion in Winter_ (1968). It was also the film debut of future Hannibal Lecter Anthony Hopkins and future James Bond Timothy Dalton. The headliners were fierce Peter O'Toole (gaining his 3rd of eight unsuccessful Oscar nominations for Best Actor) and luminous Katherine Hepburn (her second consecutive and 3rd of 4 Best Actress Oscar wins). William Goldman won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar, working from his own stage play; it's among the best screenplays ever written, up there with _All About Eve_ , _Sunset Boulevard_ , _Casablanca_ , _Citizen Kane_ and _Network_ . The film was nominated for Best Picture and deserved to win, but lost to _Oliver_ , an average movie adaptation of a better stage musical. A great movie to watch in December; I won't say more.
Terry's other great movie was _Excalibur_ (1981), one of if not the best retellings of the Arthurian legends. Terry played Arthur, Nicol Williamson played Merlin, Cherie Lunghi played Guinevere, Helen Mirren played Morgana, and Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson appear in early roles as two of the Knights of the Round Table. Along with the performances, the direction, set design, costumes and cinematography are visually stunning.
This is great!
Thanks. I’ll look for that. I was props when our little theatre presented “The Lion in Winter”. Great play, & they did an excellent job on it.
Jenny has her own adventures in audio episodes produced by Big Finish (twelve episodes so far with the original actress)
Okay, it's like this. There's a tribe living down by a river, and in the river there are crocodiles. The tribe has one particular piece of wisdom passed down through the generations. It goes like this: if you happen to meet a crocodile, don't stick your head in its mouth. Every now and then, and who knows the reason, people ignore this advice, which is sad, because they die. But very stupid because they were warned. They had a choice. The moral of this story is this: You can't afford to be stupid. There are crocodiles.
Now what I've just written has nothing to do with this episode, but it is written by the genius that is Steven Moffat for the lead character of his first show 'Press Gang', a 17 year old very smart girl named Lynda. I was enthousiastic to write about the fun fact of Jenny being you-know-who but as that seat was already claimed I had to find at least a wise one... and a itsy-pitsy Doctor Who related. * bows *
Now that you've pointed it out, I can see 'Jenny' more as a character for 'The Sarah Jane adventures', I almost wished that happened.
Lots of pwople are goong to mention that Georgia is David's wife now, and thw Fifth Doctor's actual duaghter.
What they probably wont mention is that the Fifth Doctor was in a tv show with his wife - Sandra Dickinson - called "the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and that the main theme of that show is almost identical to the Doctor's theme motif that you mentioned in this reaction.
This episode is timey-wimey on so many levels.
And that _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ was a radio show (or audio drama -- but a comedy -- as they say now), before it was a book (later series) and TV show and movie (and that the movie featured Martin Freeman, who worked with Catherine Tate on the UK version of _The Office)._
I remember Sandra, but not David. Very odd.
@@judithstrachan9399 he's not in it long, and he's disguised. If you remember the restaurant at the end of the universe and the dish of the day that keeps trying to convince people to eat him...
Such an incredible episode! Especially the speech in the end!
In the very first episode of Doctor Who, all the way back in 1963, it is established that Susan Foreman is the Doctor's granddaughter. However, the show has never addressed the missing link in over 60 years. Jenny is, I think, the only person the Doctor recognizes as his child to appears on screen. It has never been confirmed that Jenny is Susan's mother, but there aren't a lot of other options.
This is a great episode, but there's a lot of silly things about it if you start to look at it objectively. Like why wasn't Donna or Martha 'processed' the way the Doctor was? And why does every single soldier produced like Jenny was get a full jumpsuit, but Jenny just gets a thin t-shirt? Well it's because she's the guest star and a pretty girl, so we need to show off...yeah >.>
Those are more problems with modern television writing, though. One other interesting thing is how this episode contributes to the evolution of what 'Time Lord' means. Because in Classic Who, Time Lord isn't a race, it's a rank. Their race is Gallifreyan, or 'Shobogan' if you want to get technical, name for the native race of Gallifrey. But New Who largely treats Time Lord as the Doctor's race.
Jenny is a great character, though, and one of the most highly-requested characters to return in the series. The Hath are also really neat both visually and conceptually. I wish we could see them again.
No one spotted Gendry Baratheon as Cline?
All we can say to you is that later on you will get an answer to the question of why the TARDIS goes where it does. It is much later in the series and an awesome episode I hope to watch your reaction to!!!
I'm buying Martha's tears. She is a doctor, a proper medical doctor. She'd just treated this patient, and now they're dead and it's kinda her fault. Also, she's very compassionate, again, being a doctor.
@@katearcher8514 also, they died saving her life. That's got to be pretty overwhelming.
@@miggyluv yeah, that as well
And, she had just gotten out of this life of constant death and trauma. She wanted out, but was sucked into another adventure where she had to watch someone else die. Martha really went through it!
I forgot how early the Doctor's aversion to soldiers came out.
Hey, did you know that Jenny... who played the Doctor's daughter... you know what? Maybe I should give the comments a quick glance before finishing.
Yeah, I don't always, but there are usually five hundred about this. The one time I was the first one with it, there was an avalanche after me, so I probably shouldn't have bothered then either because other people didn't care. :)
so i see what you wrote, but did you know that the actress who played jenny, the doctor’s daughter… jk lol
@@cassianand0r Buffy SPOILERS
Are you saying Ben has some connection to Glory?
Yay! There's my lunchtime sorted. Looking forward to watching this. 😁👍
The idea that the ward only been going on for 7 days was actually something they added the last minute in script. Doesn't really make sense because that one human was an old man.
He probably came out of the machine that way. I really like the "one week" twist.
David Tennant must have truly enjoyed his life as a single dude being Doctor Who. Love the stories Peter Davidson tells about Georgia telling him when David first asked her out to a play, but she wasn't sure if he really liked her or if he just wanted to improve her knowledge of Shakespeare. Davidson told her, "I think he likes you. '
He had also dated Sophia Myles from The Girl in the Fireplace prior to that. Guess he likes blondes.
Jenny wasn't meant to survive this episode & there's a deleted scene with Donna & The Doctor.
BUT a future speculative showrunner candidate objected to Jenny's death - so if that scene feels contrived or half written, it's a rush job.😊
thats not my daughter its my wife
2:01 Tardis knows best, listen to your Tardis, it's a scary universe out theeerrrreeee!!!
from what i heard, Jenny was supposed to remain dead but Steven Moffat who was set to take over as showrunner asked for the new ending
I think he just said the death was too Star Trek or something. Russell added the ending. I know it was Moffat‘a suggestion but I can’t tell u where I heard the rest. 😂
@@CrankyGrandmai dont remember a lot about this but i think that one of them said the ending would be to dark so they changed it without planning to do anything with the character
Okay, since no one said the whole meme, here it is. (Apologies if it was here in the comments and I didn't see it.)
David Tennant (the 10th doctor) met the daughter (Georgia Moffat) of Peter Davidson (the 5th doctor) on the Doctor Who episode "The Doctor's Daughter", where she played the doctor's daughter. David Tennant and Georgia Moffat got married, and then she gave birth to a daughter. So essentially the Doctor married the doctor's daughter, upon which she gave birth to the Doctor's daughter, who is also the Doctor's granddaughter.
There's more. Georgia Moffat said in an interview that she went to school with the daughter of Colin Baker (the sixth doctor.) She added that she was sort of under the impression everyone's dad was the Doctor.
And one more thing. Someone once asked Peter Davidson in front of an audience what was the weirdest thing that a fan ever gave him. He mumbled "Oh, I don't know..." and then someone in the audience said "a granddaughter". Get it? Because David Tennant was a huge Doctor Who fan as a kid.
Has anyone mentioned that Jenny the Doctor's Daughter is now David Tennant's Wife (and she is in fact the Doctor's Daughter in real life too being the daughter of the Fifth Doctor Peter Davison)? :-P Confusing huh?
Nooooo! Really? Why didn’t someone say?
About Jenny... she didn´t regenerate, it was the terraform!!
She still might, though.
@@HuntingViolets True!!! It would be amazing!!!! 💖💖
I think Donna wouldn't have minded Martha joining the TARDIS team again.
There was a story going around at the time (I'm not sure how accurate it was ) that the original ending left Jenny dead, but Steven Moffat (writer of episodes like The Empty Child, The Girl in The Fireplace, and Blink and the next show runner of the show) asked them to bring her back at the end of the episode. This led to lots of theories that Moffat intended to bring her back during his run (which would be announced was coming fairly soon after this).
She actually is the Doctors Daughter... her Father played the 5th Doctor :)
Also, thanks to this Episodes, she is married to THIS Doctor :)
16:50 she was… it just didn’t get green lit
I recommend that, if you can find it, watch the first doctor who episode, an unearthly child. BBC took it down due to a legal issue but it should still be findable in blue ray or dvd. And probably somewhere on the net you shouldn’t access, especially without a really good virus checker😂. But the episode introduces us to the mysterious doctor and his granddaughter who fled their home world and are exiled in time and space.
It's on Britbox in the U.S. Is Chris in the U.S. or Canada? I forget.
“An Adventure in Space & Time” gives a decent amount of background.
I was really messed up by Martha's Hath dying in the gloop on the surface.
The Ninja😂😂 I'm dying
We don't know much about The Doctor's kids and pretty much have no details. We do know his granddaughter quite well from the very begining of the show in 1963, but that's about it. Well I guess Jennt too.
Georgia Moffett ('Jenny') is the real life daughter of Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor ("Timecrash"), and so is indeed the Doctor's daughter in real life. After this episode, she and David Tennant fell in love and she is now Georgia Tennant. And Peter Davison is David Tennant's father-in-law. All very wibbly wobbly, eh?
Gods I forgot how good season 4 was
Better than anything that came after it, that's for certain.
Georgia Tennant recently did another set of Big Finish audio dramas with Jenny.
The crossover special we could have used: Jenny and Captain Jack having an adventure. Part of his hostility is because The Doctor was the one who ended The Time War. And then, the Daleks. There is more for our host to learn, but Jenny is the mirror, and she is everything he dislikes about himself. That's fear, not contempt. And yes, the TARDIS knows.
And in the six hours since this went live, I'm sure there have been 60+ comments that Georgia is the IRL Companion.
Jenny does have a spin off but it’s audio stuff from big finish!
It has always been the case that the Doctor does not have full control over where the Tardis goes.* It's eventually revealed (and it's pretty much what was expected) in what I say is my favorite episode (It might not be but I like it so much it's my default).
* Go back to the early episode where he brings Rose home and it's been months and not minutes since she left. At least he got the planet right.
And going back to the Classic Who episode where he brings Sarah Jane home - as the Tardis vanishes she realized it isn't her home (let's assume it's in Ealing as I really don't remember) - she's in Croydon. At least she was somewhere in London.
Sarah Jane's home was in Croydon, the Doctor left her in Aberdeen.
But yes, it's an ongoing plot device that the TARDIS goes where it thinks the Doctor needs to be even if it's not where the Doctor was trying to go.
@@loraleitourtillottwiehr2473 Thank you!! My memory's not at it's best - tried to look it up; couldn't find it. Remembered Croydon was involved. So the line was, "This isn't Croydon. It's Aberdeen." Sounds so right when I hear it.
@@loraleitourtillottwiehr2473 Maybe she needed to be in Aberdeen. Too late to film that story but maybe a comic book (animation, audio drama, anthology story). ;)
OK now that I'm caught up I'll be joining either the TH-cam thing or patreon. Does one have more perks or different content than the other?
Oh thanks so much! I recommend Patreon. The only advantage TH-cam has is it is you don't have two go anywhere else. Patreon is a little bit cheaper because TH-cam takes a much larger percentage. The 6.99 TH-cam tier gives the same as the $5.00 Patreon tier. Patreon also sometimes has slightly longer reactions as well due to TH-cam copyright issues. On Patreon you can also add full lengths at the $8.00 tier if you'd like, although you need your own copy of the episode to watch along.
@@CasualNerdReactions perfect patreon it is. There'll be a new member named Elisa h. In a little bit. 😁
Doctor who fans love trivia lol
Sadly, Jenny never showed up in a spin-off, although there may a a comic/novel. The compulsory fan fact for this episode is that Georgia Moffett, who plays Jenny, is the daughter of Peter Davison who played the Fifth Doctor. She is also now married to David Tennant after they met on set.
There’s a two season Big Finish audio spin-off following her that ran from 2018-2021. Some solid stuff
They went with audio plays from Big Finish. (Which has always been recognized by the BBC as being canon, so that's a plus.)
Pilot of the TARDIS?
Psst...Jenny returns in some Big Finish audio dramas. 😊
Fun fact: The Doctor's daughter is played by The Doctor's daughter and she would go on to have The Doctor's daughter.
I don't Think The Doctor is necessarily against killing but he wouldn't just execute somebody who was no longer a threat
Maybe Jenny shows up again. We shall see.
🔮
I have QuEsTiOnS 😂
The Doctor's daughter IS the Doctor's and married to the Doctor, there is a hillbilly joke in there.
Welcome to the incestuous world of Doctor Who. Just when you thought the Doctor's family life was confusing enough - the 10th Doctor (Tennant) married Jenny (Georgia) who just happens to be the daughter of the 5th Doctor (Peter Davison - the Doctor in that short extra episode before Voyage of the Damned). They now have quite a few kids.
And cue the comments from wannabe smartarses about Georgia moffat being married to David Tennant and being the 5th doctors daughter
I don't think they're being that, but, as with Everest, the fact that someone else was first is not deterring them from repeating it. :)
It would have been amazing to have Jenni continue but some idiot ended her character in the audiobooks. Its disgusting really.
Fun fact Jenny returns in a series of audio dramas. Which aren't quite that good...
i’ll be honest, i can’t bear to watch this episode back just because i find it gross to watch a now married couple play father and daughter 😭
So valid.
martha will back and no jenny never came back
Spoilers.
