----------------------------------------
In a recent journey into the world of British television, I decided to dive into "Doctor Who," a series that has been captivating audiences for decades. I kicked things off with the first episode of the first series titled "Rose," and boy, was it an exciting introduction to the Doctor's universe. The episode follows Rose, a young woman working in a department store, who gets entangled with a mysterious stranger known as the Doctor.
First and foremost, I was struck by the quality of acting throughout the episode. Christopher Eccleston's portrayal of the Ninth Doctor was outstanding. His monologues were delivered with power and nuance, leaving a lasting impact. The supporting cast also impressed me with their performances, especially Billie Piper as Rose. Despite limited context for her character, she managed to convey a sense of depth and relatability, giving us a character we can root for.
Another element that caught my attention was the high-energy nature of the episode. From the Doctor's chaotic, quick-witted dialogue to the fast-paced plot, it kept me engaged from start to finish. The introduction of the TARDIS and the sonic screwdriver added to the excitement, making me eager to explore more of the Doctor's world.
However, one aspect that stood out was the chemistry between the characters. While Rose and the Doctor make an intriguing pair, I found their dynamic to be more of a mentor-student relationship than a romantic one. This choice added depth to their interactions, showing that the showrunners were more interested in character development than a simple love story.
In conclusion, "Rose" served as a promising beginning to my Doctor Who journey. The exceptional acting, fast-paced storytelling, and character-driven approach all worked in its favor. I'm excited to explore more episodes and witness the evolution of the Doctor and his companions. Stay tuned for more of my Doctor Who reactions as I dive deeper into this iconic series.

Yeah, one of the revelations of this first series was how good an actor Billy Piper is. Prior to this she was known as a teen pop singer.
I came here to say that. Absolutely.
Good actor. Yikes character. 😅
I was less worried about her being a companion in a low budget SciFi show, because she was fantastic in the Canterbury Tales a few years earlier (BBC modernisation). What I didn’t realise was how much the Doctor Who cast would all need to act and how good they’d need be.
@@monsterlairRose is my favorite. Her character settles a lot.
You're the first person I've seen react to Doctor Who that picked up on the duplicitous nature of the Doctor from the beginning. While the show definitely characterises him as a hero - and for the most part he is - like any complex character in fiction he is quite capable of lying and duplicity.
Have you watched FilmBuff's Doctor Who reactions? :)
Thanks 😊. That is pretty crazy, though. Especially now as I am more than half way through the first series, it seems like a pretty fundamental part of his nature and almost a necessity of his way of life, even.
Billie was one of those industry-created pop stars, but is now an Olivier award winner.
Billie in “Yerma” is one of my favorite live theatre performances of all time. It is the only time an actor’s choices has made me genuinely concerned for their mental health. Every other time even with amazing work, you still know it’s just a role. But she found another level. Thankfully it’s on National Theatre At Home.
One thing that shocks me every time is just how ordinary Rose looks. Like, the jeans, the hoodie, the make-up, she looks like she could be any girl, she looks like someone I could have known in school. Like I mean obviously Billie Piper is very pretty, but I love what they've done with the costuming, and overall the vibe of the character, that she doesn't look like a supermodel with not a hair out of place, she doesn't feel like she's some genius superhero right from the start, she's just ordinary, and in a way that just makes her all the more intriguing as the series goes on, at least to me
I agree. I remember thinking Amy and Clara were too put together in terms of their costumes when I watched the first time. I was not used to the Doctor's companions with too much makeup
@@ym10up Clara was my first companion (I originally started watching in the middle of 12's first season because a local tv channel was doing reruns of it one summer and i was bored) so I didn't mind or notice that so much at the time, but when after that I borrowed dvds from the library to watch New Who from the beginning, that, seeing Rose, was when I for the first time looked at a companion and went "oh. that could be me.", not just in a wish-fulfillment fantasy hehe it would be fun if the Doctor came and whisked me away to a life of adventure (look I was like 14 or 15 and a lonely kid who was bullied at school, don't judge me too harshly) kind of way like with Clara, but in a way of like... feeling like i was seen, like the show understood me, if that makes sense?
@@elsalaiho1699 it does make sense, although I never thought that I could be any of them. I guess Amy and Clara looked like they just stepped out of the makeup trailer and not a hair was out of order so I was always aware that they were actors playing their roles. But Rose looked like normal. Her hair could be messing. She could be wearing old t-shirts and jeans. She just feels very relaxed and comfortable. I can forget that she's acting right away and believe that's exactly how she is in real life.
I'm sorry to hear about your childhood experience. It must be tough.
@@ym10upThis all makes sense. Rose is supposed to be 19.
Mickey cowering and clinging to Rose in the final scene is a neat reversal of all those Frazetta or Vallejo Conan the Barbarian covers where the semi-clad female character is doing the same thing. The Surrealist tenet "The Juxtaposition of Distant Realities" is a valuable tool for Doctor Who that has been made very good use of since the show's first episode back in late 1963. It's first showing was the day after Kennedy's assassination on November 22nd, hence the Dallas reference. Christopher Eccleston's incarnation of the Doctor is very high octane and has a great deal of PTSD baggage from the war, naturally enough, more of which later. Since you are up to episode 7, you already know who with.
Billie Piper actually *was* initially a pop star - I think this was one of her first acting jobs
She studied acting before she started recording though. She sort of fell into the pop business. Acting was what she really wanted to do.
@@paulkennedy8701 Fell into music via her commercial work for Pop! magazine, I believe?
@@paulkennedy8701 Indeed, and she'd attended drama school from the age of 12. Like Davy Jones from The Monkees, Billie was an actor first and foremost, but was talent-spotted and "manufactured" into a teenage pop idol because she could also dance and sing.
9:37
To clarify this part, just at the start of that scene Rose said "You're not coming in", so she's the one that actually told Mickey to stay in the car there and he was arguing against it but failed to change her mind.
I missed that. Thanks 😊
Thanks for taking note of the fabulous soundtrack. What was accomplished by Murray Gold with no budget in the early series and then later with full orchestrations- perfection!
Well said!
I hope you keep uploading to TH-cam.
Rose is surrounded by people who behave like children. Just showing micky and Jackie (mom) interact with Rose we learn a lot. The headwriter this season is very good at writing characters who feel real. Eccleston is an excellent actor and some were surprised he took this role. It is implied he regenerated (changed faces) just before this episode, and all the stuff Clive had- the Dallas photos, etc- are things that happened between the time rose said no and the doctor left, and when he came back and said “it also travels in time”. For her it was seconds but it could have been any amount of time for him. This show is delightfully fun and the acting is strong.
Except, Big Finish says otherwise, Eccleston has at least 3 seasons before Rose.
@@claraginevra6527big finish is not part of the TV universe unless specifically mentioned.
The Dallas photos are a nod to the 1st episode of Doctor Who which aired the same day of Kennedy's assassination. 🤓
Respectfully disagree @@CrankyGrandma
That’s a fascinating idea. I hadn’t even thought there could have been time any number of days between his leaving and his return. Time travel is a funny thing!
Can’t wait until we get to episode 6! And yeah, Mickey was designed to be easy for Rose to leave. Compare the Doctor to Mickey and you know who she was gonna choose right away.
He's up to episode 7 on Patreon ;)
Mickey does have some excellent character development later. All the characters get character development, I love the RTD era.
There is also the classic Doctor Who series (Doctors 1-7), which aired for 26 season 1963-1989. The 60th anniversary of the series is coming up on November 23rd of this year!
The humans that are around the doctor are written much more realistically than in the matt smith era, you really get their fear or bewilderment... their sorrow and anger...
So far I can’t argue with you on that
The first episode was back in 1963. It ran until 1989 and then was rebooted 2005.
Mickey is sort of like the Whoniverse's Neville Longbottom. He starts off as a total doofus but ends up being a hero.
The kennedy assasination picture is a bit of an easter egg as dr who was originally aired a day after the assassination in 1963... they decided to rerun the 1st episode again a week later due to the disruption caused by the news footage
Both series 1&2 is campy, but the camp never stops in this show.
And the first few episodes you can tell RTD was still finding the tone.
There’s a real mix of episode but a surprising amount of quality performances throughout. The camp is part of the style of the show. Embrace it.
Edit: remember it’s a family show. It’s not just for adults so there’s a limit on gore etc that they’ll do. That’s okay. It manages to engage a variety of age groups.
It's so funny how you said it's not too common over in the UK to take models, etc. and have them act in things out of nowhere when that's pretty much exactly what happened. Rose? She's played by Billy Piper. She was a teen pop singer before she landed this role, very similar in style to Britney Spears in my opinion. So this was her first big acting gig. So they really did just take a random pretty face like a model, in her case a pop star, and made her an actor and she fucking killed it.
I was under the impression that she was, in fact, classically trained as an actor and even considered the singing move as a detour rather than a destination. Of course, I could be wrong
@@tna_ Oh no, she was a singer first. Started her music career at 15 in 1997 and released several #1 hits that made her super popular and she was known as the Pop Princess of the UK. Essentially the Britney Spears of the UK. She quit her music career in 2003 so she could instead go into acting where she got a couple small roles that didn't go anywhere, and a starring role in a horror movie that did terribly but then in 2005 she was cast as Rose Tyler which is when her acting career took off. As a teen she was in a theatre school for a couple years and did some singing in musicals but that's where she was actually scouted by a record label and started her music career. She didn't start acting until several years later. Though she'd wanted to be an actor, she wasn't focusing on classically training at school to get there, she was using her music career to do so, hoping that her popularity as a pop singer would open more doors for her. Prior to Doctor Who, nobody really knew that she could act, they just knew her as a teen Pop Star.
This is the Post time war Doctor, he regenerates but never saw his face until this time in Rose flat he was so damaged that he broke all the mirrors on the tardis.
But after he meets Rose she'll help him to be better. ❤❤
This is the second time I’ve seen an American react to this show and think rose is dissing mickey at the end lol, it was a compliment! she meant the fact that he doesn’t feel he needs a thanks is exactly why he deserves it more in a sense, it was a ‘thanks for being you’ moment
Yeah, that's not it, 98% of people get it as a diss
I've only just found your channel through this video, but I would seriously recommend keeping up with this show.
You're right, there's a LOT of little hints through the acting and the dialogue that set things up for later episodes, and you actually picked up on a good amount of them. I won't go into spoilers but, yes, a lot of the things you commented on ARE being done intentionally, and you get to see them pay off in later episodes.
I cannot recommend it enough, PLEASE keep watching, because all the little details just keep getting better and better. Even just how this episode ends, with Rose so callously abandoning her boyfriend to go adventuring in space and time... that DOES come back later, in a really big way.
Thank you. It’s good to know I’m not making too much of things.
The Tardis reconfigures its control room for each Doctor.
This is actually the eighth or ninth Doctor. The show started in 1961, I think. The Doctor was a crotchety old man traveling with his granddaughter.
In between Sylvester McCoy Doctor & this guy was the "war" referred to in this episode. McCoy was the last of the Old Series Doctors.
Eccleston is 9. 8 was Paul McGann, 80s TV movie in America. He was underrated in my opinion. I won’t give anything away though.
Ironically, the massive Whovian born David McDonald who at 16 took his stage name from Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, (now also his legal name) became 10.
Really, really love your reaction! It was incredibly fun to watch and your comments were super interesting! Would love to see you react to more Doctor Who!
Thank you so much!! I’m definitely going to do more
The Doctor is for sure duplicitous. Conflicted too. He wants to recruit Rose. He wants a mortal around, partly to ground him, but also to be impressed by him; can't be the cleverest person in the room if there isn't somebody else in the room. But he also thinks he shouldn't recruit her. Cares about people but also kind of thinks he's better than them.
Seen him a lot of times described as having the character of a lonely god.
He is nothing like a God. I don't know what character you're describing but it isn't the Doctor. When exiled on Earth as punishment he had no God like abilities or talents at all - even his TARDIS was reduced to simply spacious living quarters.
3 months on, I just watched this video, immediately went to see if you posted any more, and grinned ear to ear that it looks like you're going hard on Doctor Who. In the words of The Doctor: 😁 fantastic!
Wow, thank you! More to come!
I'd love to see you continue this. It's interesting to get a new take on the show from someone in a particular field.
As an acting coach, you will probably be interested that Billy Piper, who plays Rose, although having attended stage school, had no significant acting experience before taking this role. She had been a phenomenally successful teen pop singer and, at the time, many viewed her selection as 'stunt' casting. Billy certainly proved them wrong, going on to have a successful acting career on stage and television winning both plaudits and awards for her work.
Camille Coduri, who plays Jackie Tyler, is worthy of special mention. Although the character was written primarily as a throw away comic relief, Camille never disappoints and imbues Jackie with far more emotional depth and realism than another actor might have achieved. It's not a great spoiler to say that we'll see Jackie again and it's worth looking out from those moments when Camille switches effortlessly from broad comedy to deep pathos literally in a heartbeat.
Although serving up a good helping of high camp, there are very dark undertones in many of the stories. Here, for example, we see Clive, the amiable conspiracy theorist, gunned down in front of his wife and children, to say nothing of the other deaths and mayhem throughout London and who knows how far the effects spread?
Incidentally, while the show is called 'Doctor Who', the lead character's name is simply 'The Doctor' The title is supposed to introduce an element of mystery: "Doctor who?" as well as giving the writers the endless opportunity to drop in the running gag. " Doctor? Doctor who?" which has featured regularly all the way back to the first story in 1963 (remembering there had been 6 seasons in what is now termed the 'Classic Era' before this 2005 relaunch).
All the ones you mention have proper drama training of different kinds. Billie Piper went to Sylvia Young, Christopher Eccleston to Central, Noel Clarke the Actor's Centre, Camille Coduri the Lyric Youth Theatre, and the guy in the basement (shed) telling her about the doctor - that was Mark Benton, he went to RADA.
(I did look it up, I knew they had training, just not where, apart from Piper and Benton for some reason.)
I encourage people to keep a journal when on a Doctor journey. Keep track of the everyday objects that are actually things we have to fear. Starting with Mannequins, trash bins, and everything made of plastic.
Also journal the aliens that have had an impact on earth development and log phrases and quotes.
"I havent watched a lot of British TV."
Ooooh, please check out some of the great comedies of the 90s and early 2000s, such as *A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie*, *Blackadder (II/III/Goes Forth)*, and *The Thin Blue Line*.
I introduced Doctor Who to one of my friends in Canada also starting with Season 5, the first of the Matt Smith era. He's now hooked and has watched everything available since.
I'm fairly certain Mickey's yellow car is a callback to the yellow car the 3rd Doctor used in his run.
Oh, we’ve got another one. Welcome, I hope you enjoy the ride!
I love it! Thanks
Love to watch a journey with the Doctor! Time is wibbley-wobbley. I do hope you stick it out. I love going through this journey with people.
That's the plan!
For reasons that will be explained much later, you're seeing Ecclestone's portrayal of the Doctor at his most broken. When you hit episode 6 it's going to be a real gut punch that you won't see again until (spoilers) the library
Starting with series 5 isnt a mistake, It's a perfectly fine jumping on point, and what I use to introduce friends to the show. However, you do miss a lot of the lore and character development over the first 4 series, so I'm glad your starting again with Rose.
Definitely enjoying this perspective. At some point I'd appreciate seeing you take a look at some of the 63-89 episodes, just due to how different television production was in 63 in particular.
One of my favorite shows. Glad you enjoyed it. Next season it’s obvious immediately that they had a much bigger budget. It’s a really fun show, hope you keep going. Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal.
Can't wait! Thank you! 😊
Just found your channel because of this video, love your reaction, this is my favourite series of doctor who (but I may be biased because this is what I was introduced to as a kid) so I’d love to see you react to the rest of the episodes 😊
Wow, thank you! 😊 I’m going to go as far as I can. Glad to have you along for the ride.
Ah.... Mickey/Rickey who took 2 Seasons to finally get his Redemption vs The Cybermen. The story arcs are strong in this one.... brilliant Tin Dog acting (apart from the cringe hug) from Noel.
Mickey, the boyfriend, improves...but it takes a full season for him to really land his part.
There are multiple levels to who fandom that counts. Your 1st doctor is always a thing.... like losing v card. Mine was David Tennant. But then theres your core favorite. Mine is truly John Hurt but if you want a doctor more than 2 episodes id say matt smith
yeah that last line is proper harsh and is her literally breaking up with him. But him being Ricky the Idiot, he doesn't even understand. Bless.
as for "They're writing this guy to be unlikeable on purpose." Spot on. Lots of stuff came out about him last year. While some of its been counter claimed, one or two cases of physical abuse against women have yet to be denied (including a channel 4 reporter, a BBC1 costume lady and a third un-named woman who complained when he was awarded the BAFTA days after she filed a complaint). Some people will defend him and get very angry because he is still fighting these claims, but at the time of this episode, is when the actions he is accused of is said to happen.
The thing with the seemingly nonchalance about Mickey (whose actor is Noel Clarke, if you need to Google that whole problem)
I fully believe it's because Rose is a woman who's basically down on her luck in all aspects. A coward boyfriend who she thinks is the best she could have. A mom who seems to not care if she sleeps around with several guys, and gossips on the phone about Rose with her own daughter in the same room. As well as a typical clothing job.
Rose isn't really thinking about anything besides what horrors and confusion she's witnessing because her whole life, in her eyes, seems like a disappointment.
The Doctor, no matter how crass he may be, helped Rose learn there's more and that she's far more important than she realizes.
I look forward to joining you on the rest of this journey as you get used to British phrases and slang. My girlfriend is from Texas, and after 5 and a half years i still make her laugh with some things i say.
That’s where I am. Born and raised near Dallas.
I know you mentioned Texas, she's from Beaumont.
I checked Billie's bio. She had a lot of training as an actor before she started recording music. Sort of rhe reverse od the Disney model.
It has been a roller coaster but yes, this matches what I’ve learned and serve to sort of validate my original statement and put actors out of the UK. Thank you ☺️
Love the reaction! Talk about small world though…I work in Greenville 😂 !
That is crazy. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's awesome to see someone here from so close to home. I hope you subscribed. I'll look for your comments on the next video
Ooohh can't wait to see your analysis on this show! Billie was amazing on Doctor Who.
So far I definitely agree.
@@tna_ Are you going to upload more episode reactions? I just discovered your channel and I really love hearing thoughts from an acting perspective 😊
@@inkeriananas yes. More to come
You should check out Stargate SG-1 Season 4 Episode 6. It’s a groundhog day episode, and Richard Dean Anderson puts in WORK on that episode.
Yes keep doing them please on TH-cam
I hope you do a few more on U-Tube. I liked your style in this reaction, but I tend to want to see a few more episodes of reaction before I commit to Patreon.
I will! The reception has been great 👍🏼. I don’t plan on stopping any time soon.
I grew up watching old Doctor Who episodes on VHS borrowed from my local library, the revival series came out when I was 16, it's pretty accurate to say Doctor Who has been a part of my entire life, so happy the show is comtinuing, and so happy more people are getting exposed to it.
Series 1 is pretty.... it's a product of its time, at least with the effects, but the tone still holds up I think.
Hi. I have just subscribed because you reacted to Doctor Who. I hope you continue and enjoy this amazing show 😊👍
Welcome aboard! I just recorded episode 10. Episode two will be up on TH-cam on wednesday if all goes to plan.
Murray Gold, the composer, is very well thought of.
just in terms of acting, it would be interesting to see your response to the second and twelfth doctors (patrick troughton and peter capaldi, respectively).
doctor who is such an enormous show-there are over 60 years of material-so it would be kind of a full-time job to grind through all of it procedurally. picking one story per doctor, though, to compare the choices they make in approaching the role, would, i think, be a neat little project.
like, ostensibly the doctor is just the doctor; like sherlock holmes, they're the same character no matter who's playing them. yet each actor brings such a different voice, emphasizes different things in different ways, understands and breaks down the character so differently. a big part of the fun to the show is studying that range of perspectives, and how they turn each version of the character into a different distinct individual.
if you were to consider this approach, i might suggest (where possible) to select *episode one* of each actor's *second* season or series.
the reasoning here is,
1) this gives the actor a full year to explore and develop their take, so what you will be seeing is more distinct a product of their deliberate choices than if you were to compare their first-ever performances.
2) it avoids cherry-picking the best performances or most interesting moments, in favor of a more level ground of randomness, while still holding a certain common investment in the role
3) we're not really getting into super spoiler territory this way, should you want to go back and watch through in order. it's just a bunch of well-publicized premieres, setting up pieces for later play.
Funnily enough, the actress playing Rose actually WAS a stunt hire of a pop star. She's just also genuinely good, haha
lol, I know! Someone else commented about that and I made that exact point. Egg on my face, 😆
Good place to start at season 27 😀
Grest reaction and hope you both get into the series and bring it over to YT not just the season openers.
Currently theres a ztream8ng rights issue with the very first 4 parts (25 minutes each) story "An Unearthly Child" from 1963 so it would be worth catching that now before the licences expire in case they don't get renewed.
He's watching Nuwho for now, not Classic Who
@@claraginevra6527 I realise that - however the disagreement over the rights to that very first serial is so bad that streaming rights could be removed permanently exists - indeed it has already been pulled from i believe most streaming services - and may only remain on those left for a matter of a month or 2 so it would be advisable to take a quick detour from nuwho to watch that serial while it is still available - i could go into more detail to illustrate my point but won't - just trying to be helpful 😀
@@binrotheheretic8174 Hopefully that will eventually blow over and calm down and "An Unearthly Child" will be back in it's rightful place in the streaming.
@@joshuajoshua2732 Hopefully yes - and we can have it on iplayer - but the comments made be you know who means he might mean it when it when he says permanently - even if subsequent infer it's about cash.
It wasn’t a mistake. Matt was my first Doctor as well, and I have no regrets. As a matter of fact, if I want to share the show with a friend, I usually introduce them to 5 x 10 Vincent and The Doctor.
This wouldn’t happen to be Van Gogh? I don’t remember an episode with Van Gogh. I’m super excited to watch it!
@@tna_ Oh, it’s great! 💚 One of my absolute favorites!
Enjoyed breakdown of characters & story line reaction, hope you don't get to many time Travelers telling you about future episodes 😞
I hope so too!
You're gonna get a LOT of views watching this series
It's not a relationship kind of thing. That changes a bit in other seasons, for good or for bad.
Series 5 isn't a bad place to start, some people just get too picky or mad you didn't start with their era. Glad you enjoyed and it's nice that you now get to go back to series 1 of the modern era.
Has nothing to do with "their era" has everything to do with how important each season of nuwho is
@@ZeallustImmortal That kind of thinking I believe is exactly what discourages new people from starting such a long show. You can follow along just fine from many places points in the show and if you love it and want more then you can go back to previous. Honestly the Russell era isn't THAT important to the Moffat era, same can be said for Moffat to Chibnal. In that I'd argue it's one of the beauties of the show.
@@ClintBandito Do you even watch the show?
@@ZeallustImmortal Yes, I also trust that the audience isn't stupid.
great review given the chance you should review the doctor who the early years from the beginning with William Hartnell the 1st doctor
More. It gets better.
I will counter your outro to say that Billie Piper was a pop star before going into acting.
I will say that the path to acting in the UK is different. Theatre is the gateway to the television acting in the UK
Mickey will grow as a man and a character as the series progresses.
Rose's reaction to Mickey's apparent death, and her obliviousness to his plastic replica, are all hints to how casual their relationship is, at least on her side. It also makes her decision to become a companion and leave Mickey more understandable.
Reaction to dr who? Subscribed..... some of the best episodes in the show are in the first 4 seasons... certainly most of the award winning episodes.... especially as the show evolves through the seasons....
Can’t wait!
don't worry, Mickey gets better later
Well, Billie Piper was actually a pop star before this so she did a great job considering her lack of experience.
Christopher Eccleston was well established as a character actor in serious, gritty, political dramas. Getting him as Dr Who was something of a coup.
Billie Piper was best known as a former teen pop star with a tabloid-friendly personal life. Her performance in this was a revelation, and she is now well established as a leading actor in the UK.
Doctor Who always has an element of campiness, but this episode more than most. Keith Boak directed the first recording block, consisting of episodes 1, 4 and 5, and was never asked back. Make of that what you will.
I love information like this 👍🏼. Thanks
...some of the acting coming up will blow you away.... especially david tennant.... keep the tissues handy...
I’m ready! 🎭
If you want REAL camp, you would have to go back and watch the original series instead of the reboot. Mind you, that is a MUCH slower paced series. The acting is fantastic throughout most of the reboot. They do camp the right way. I am glad to see you reacting to this (even if I am late to the game watching it). The David Tenant era is my favorite. I hope you manage to bring the rest to TH-cam.
Rose is 19 and Miky is 22
Please keep up loading to youtube!
First, Libby is one of the most awesome names of all time!… and second, of course I will. Watch for the next upload Wednesday.
Matt smith was my favourite personally, though sadly, almost no one seems to agree
Well as of now, I do agree. Before starting this watch He was the only Doctor that I can even remember. Though I'm finding out that I don't really remember as much as I thought I did. I'm excited to get back there and re-experience him for the first time!
each time there a new doctor the blue box get an up date. and the doctor need the side kick help dr who not to kill or go to far?
Youve seen matt smith so you know the doctor can change... hes not long changed into this doctor (at least not seen himself in a mirror) hence the ear comment.... during matt smiths time this will be explained
Yes. I think I mentioned that I had just come in assuming that he had been this doctor for some time, no realizing that, it seems, this face is new to him.
The very first episode of Doctor Who aired the day after Kennedy was assassinated, ergo the photoshop.
Honestly Billie Piper is incredible- especially in Penny Dreadful. 1st season theres a janky Irish accent to get past but then whoooo-boy.
I believe it!
I subscribed cause I want to see your reaction to all of doctor who as time goes by… but then I went through your uploaded videos and I see your probably not going to upload based on your past uploads… bummer.
Oh ye of little faith.
Oh ye of little faith.
i think overall series 5 is an entirely valid place to start with the show, i think back in the day the moffat era got a lot of hate but nah it's peak. whilst the rtd era is still good but i dont rlly agree that it's peak.
I’m having to learn all these names, lol.
@@tna_ i mean there's only 3 showrunners thus far lol, if you ever got into clasic who, they changed head producer every other season back then lol
Honestly, the way she treats Mickey from the start and moving forward is why Rose is my second least favorite companion
Love dr who but Tennant isvthe best dr
Christopher is to serious i think for the part as he really didnt even like the role so only lasted a short time
I love micky later down the line
So, you are an acting coach and you don't know who Chrostopher Eccleston is????? Literally one of the top 5 respected actors in the world!!! WOW!! I would NEVER send anyone to you. That is like not knowing who Marlon Brando is, dude.
Lol, thanks. I needed to smile today 😂
The character of Rose is kinda eh for me... but Billie piper's acting is top notch!
The pilot?!!!!!!!
Mate, this series began in 1963. The pilot aired the day after JFK's assasination. The show has 26 years worth of brilliance before the shit you're watching was even thought of!
Yes. And...this is the pilot.
@tna_ No. It isn't. A pilot is a new show presented to an audience that have never seen it before. If you have to call it by a special name, it would be the reboot.
It is a reboot...and this was the pilot of the reboot. Sry. @@rnw2739
@tna_ A reboot pilot would involve an element of risk regarding viewers and/or ratings. Not the case here. 'Doctor Who' already had an extremely large audience awaiting its return to television and when it did, they tuned in to that familiar 50 year old theme tune, the recognisable TARDIS Police Box and the twin hearted Gallifreyan who operates it.
A pilot does not also have worldwide fanclubs and Appreciation Societies before it has even been filmed, never mind aired.
This was a plain reboot. End of.
I am amazed an acting coach is at a loss to comprehend such a simple distinction. Sorry @tna_
How strange to hear an American say series 😅
Yuk - stuffing your face as we watch you. It's just not done.
Don't watch.
