Not props - they were quantum-locked entities since you were looking at them. They are sneaky though - if you see something dark and shadowy briefly out the corner of your eye - THEN LOOK ALL AROUND YOU - QUICKLY! AND WHATEVER YOU DO - DON'T BLINK!
@DoofusBoy The first episode they appeared in was blink. I believe the episode they moved in was called Flesh and Stone? It was the 2 parter where they got thrown into the crack in time & the doctor used a gun to escape a trap
@@Blandy8521Didn’t anyone ever tell you there’s one thing you never put in a trap? If you’re smart. If you value your continued existence, there’s one thing you never put in a trap. What’s that, sir? Me.
One little bit of visual storytelling I loved from doctor who comes from a Christmas Carol, when Kazran puts Abigail in her Cryo pod knowing that it will be the last time he has to, you see him unravels his bowtie as he tells the doctor that they should hold off on next Christmas, it was subtle in how it shows that Kazran is disconnecting from the doctor and turn into the grouchy old Scrooge we meet at the beginning.
Dammit, no branch of whatculture has *ever* given me the feels, but the unexpectedly emotional response to Sophie and Janet reading in their lines has left me with a lump in my throat and a speck of sentiment in my eye...
Peter Capaldi was my favorite doctor, I loved the way the show flowed during that season and how serious he was... when he went to that planet and the device listed how many he had killed and they all ran away, that was just great.
Didn't care much for him, but he grew on me. But Baker and Tennant . I would like to have seen David Morrissey (The Next Doctor) to get a chance at playing the roll. It just came so easily for him. I believed he WAS going do be the next in line.
I had noticed that the Vinvochi had their faces digitally coloured because the usual make-up giveaways weren’t present (the skin colour stopping at the eyes and mouth) but I’d just assumed that was deliberate to make them look more alien. Frankly they should do it more often, it looked better than just make-up.
A classic moment in the Hartnell story "The Chase". When the TARDIS crew was pursued thru time by Daleks, always slightly ahead of the Daleks. When they arrive in the "haunted house" , there was one scene where a Daleks was in the background, BEFORE the Daleks arrived.
You missed quite a big one. In Season 26's Battlefield, there's a scene inside the TARDIS where the lights are turned down. The reason for this was because one of the walls had already been demolished. The low lighting was used to disguise the fact they were using a painted curtain as a substitute. It's also why there were no other scenes shot inside the TARDIS for the rest of the season.
Really great stuff. I felt sad that Ace and Tegan didn't get to film opposite their Doctors but eventually were there. In something like this, the Big specials, it just feels like they *should* be even though we know production means they don't *have* to be. Some nice memory lane stuff here, thank you 💖
They did film opposite their Doctor's! If you mean against their Generation version of the Doctor then everything would be out of the Doctor's timeline
There was quite a frooferau about Ace wearing Blue Peter badges, as it was seen as very offsides to appropriate someone else's badge and claim it as their own. All controversy was quashed when it was revealed that the badges were Sophie Aldred's own, including the special award for designing a rocket launcher.
The Weeping Angels are, to this day, the only tv villain that has genuinely terrified me. After seeing Blink for the first time, I remember being in the car with my fiance's parents and yelping involuntarily as we passed a local cemetery with an angel statue on one of the headstones. I think I about gave his dad a heart attack and was more than a little embarrassed explaining myself since it was far from the first time we had passed it. Oh well.
The best part about them is that they demonstrate how jump scares ought to be done. Most movies and shows that try to be "scary" focus on jump scares, but they often forget about the lead-up to the jump scare, and always forget about following up on the jump scare. It's always just things are normal, and then "BOO!", and then the scary moment is over. But if you watch the moment when Larry is staring at the Angel while Sally looks for an exit, You initially get the normal scare when the Angel is first in the room with them, but then there's this intense moment of tension as he's forced to stay and look at the thing. And then there's that moment that zooms in on his eyes and you can see him shaking and sweating, and for the briefest instant he glances away and then back, and there is a MASSIVE jump scare as the angel is now inches from his face and staring him directly in the eyes. But unlike most jump scares, the initial startling moment is followed by INTENSE, SUSTAINED FEAR as he is forced to stare at this unmoving monster. The terror doesn't stop once the moment of surprise ends. It keeps going. I've never seen this done this well anywhere else.
@@PenneySounds, your assessment rings true. I don't consider more common methods of jump scares to even be legitimate scares. Being truly scared is a sustained feeling while a jump scare is more startling. The angels, though, are something so much more to me, at least in this outing. Eventually, they became a sad parody of themselves, but here, they still hold up. They're still intense. They're still scary.
@@konaaukai5541 I don't think they become bad in later appearances. In a way they are one-upped by their second appearance. "Blink" says that you can't close your eyes and you can't look away, and the only thing you can do to keep yourself safe is to look at them. But their next appearance says that you can't do that either, because looking at them can make you become one of them. But it is true that they have started to become just another of the show's regular enemies, like the Daleks or Cybermen.
@@PenneySounds, in this, I think we will have to agree to disagree. Looking at them turning you into one is odd (it's not well-explained if memory serves, though I confess it has been a while) even though it solves the problem of how they "reproduce." They are also able to look at themselves from the second outing onward which renders the ending of this episode utterly irrelevant and pointless when you look at it in the context of the full series. Because that second outing was awesome, despite the issues it raised, it didn't really hurt them at all even though the cerebral element of "fighting" them was dissolved. It was when they moved on camera that they lost their scare factor completely for me and I couldn't take them seriously after that. I could barely buy them as a legitimate threat. That may just be me, though. Now that you mention it, the Daleks aren't scary or intimidating anymore. They still have the potential to be if the writers commit to their genocide-centric philosophy, but that's too grim a prospect for a series that tries to be optimistic and hopeful more often than not. The Cybermen can be scary if you really consider their psychology, but that's about all they have going for them. I mostly just shrug them off. At least the space dust bins still look cool xD
Is there going to be an *"Adventures of River Song"* series? It would be great to chronicle all her iterations up to her latest one, which could explain the timeline proper with her involvement and marriage to the Dr. It would give insight into the missing pieces and would fit in nicely with Dr Who, and maybe even have some crossovers.
Yanas lab may well have been designed to be "TARDIS-ie" but the second he first appeared, I remember turning to the person I was watching with and exclaiming "That outfit screams Time Lord" especially when everyone else was wearing rags crafted from pieces of other garments
The clip regarding Ace's badge, goes someway to explain my point. Things can happen before other things happen and we see it the other way round. That's the beauty of Dr Who and the timeywimey-wibblywobbly stuff! For any Whovians who also liked Star Trek Voyager - Cpt Janeway was notorious for interfering with the Temporal Prime Directive, and anytime asked about something time related by her crew, she replied 'I always found it best not to think too much about that'
TBH I feel really dumb for not realizing that some of the weeping angles were actual people and not CGI until now. They did a great job of covering that up.
It’s surprising that in #5 there is no mention of Richard Hurndall or David Bradley standing in for William Hartnell on account of him being exceptionally dead and therefore unable to perform well.
It is 100% true that the Angels need to be absolutely still whenever they are watched. If they had been allowed to wobble at all, it would have ruined everything.
I found the bit about the vinvotches green faces, or lack of green faces, really interesting and never knew this! 😂 I love watching the shots of the tenth doctor and the metacrisis doctor in the tardis at the end of the episode Journey's End, they did it amazingly and you can hardly tell that one of them is a body double! Great video and thanks Ellie! 😊😊
The teeth thing works better if it doesn't seem to meld perfectly because it reminds us that we're dealing an inhuman alien. It can't get it right, because it's not right.
In one of the Hartnell dalek stories, The Chase I think, the daleks had a Doctor clone who was a bomb. Hartnell played a bit of that role, but they had another actor in it as well.
Doctor who is an exercise in make-believe. Calvin & Hobbes writ large. Making a visual spectacle isn't priority #1 - Nor is worldbuilding. -Telling a cool modern fairytale every episode is the most important. - Think anthologies but with a drop-in protagonist.
In the Eaters of Light episode, they aren't in Scotland, they're in South Wales, the Garw Valley to be exact. And the cairn that holds the beast in their dimension? Well only the front was seen because that's all it was, about 180° of it was built. The rest was done in a studio. So many Welsh locations were used, it was like being back home.
That last trick is used a lot for scenes with only individual close ups toggling back and forth between characters. Great list Ellie. There are definitely things I did not know about here. Thanks.
Isn't the Masters TARDIS called a SIDRAT? And near the end of his time on the show Matt Smith wore a wig Didn't know he wasn't there for all his scenes in 11th Hour. Learn something new every time I watch!
No, the SIDRATs were from the 2nd Doctor story The War Games, but they were built by a renegade Time Lord. There are theories that the War Chief from that story was actually the Master but it's not canon.
This has nothing to do with this episode. just a thought I had. I'd love to see an episode of dr. Who that has the tenth doctor. the fourteenth doctor. and the metacrisis doctor. Three Tennants playing off each other. And have Rose in there too.
It's an accepted but not publicised fact that due to the nature of The Doctor, writers try and incorporate elements of episodes previously recorded and aired and the whole design, wardrobe team etc go along with this. Some people have called these recording, script and design elements as 'Easter Eggs' but they are not - they are really the method the whole production team use to slowly mesh together everything recorded and broadcast (and not yet recorded or broadcast) to fully do justice to The Doctor! The larger the recorded back catalogue of The Doctor's life and work affecting Earth the more reflections back we will see. Some writers have 'allegedly' deliberately tried to write The Doctor into a 'time and space relative corner'.
I didn't know any of these things. That's fantastic. Nice work, y'all (sorry, that's Texas talking). How on Earth did you... No, don't ruin the mystery. I'll just continue to believe you have super powers.
While different weeping angels aren’t unheard of my mom encountered one when she was younger at a local church and she went back the neck day to talk to the priest and to her shock she wasn’t the first person to mention the weeping angel.
I like surprises in different places in Doctor Who a few old favourites, there are still some that have to be seen to be lieved. In the second doctor his just regenerated and taking a shower? And there's a small clip in the tardis where I am sure we see two doctor's when David turns into Matt we see David of set slightly it might be a double of David, with all the special effects around you can see a sharp of someone behind Matt Smith not in focus, but there a arm in the background? And Tom, as the doctor often walking through a set and breaking something or picking something up only to put in his pockets a moment later reaching into same pockets and saying how about a jelly baby? And the doctors scarf often nocks over a prop, or sometimes Tom flicks it and it gets suck in a bit of the set. And the Tardis one or more times it often switches colours after landing this is a slightly odd moment in the earlier doctor's series in black and white it never mattered well almost never until when shooting in a darkened room a propman made a mistake with painting one side light colours a brighter blue it then in future shoots turn oneside dark blue and light blue not really a problem for black and white film? But over days of shooting, some noticed on film a two toned tardis, grey and black. Years later, in Jon's time the tardis doors opened outwards in an episode or two. In his first appearance, the doors opened inwards and outwards, and the tardis had a backdoor it opened by accident, and Jon sometimes discovered ways to make an entrance and exit from the tardis either funny or dramatic, he even broke one of doors. There's loads of outtakes of the doctors in whoinverse I wonder if there is anything coming on these in the future on the ipayer and TH-cam?
It's a shame Anthony Ainley passed away before he could reprise the role of the Master in his re-introduction. And I still think it would have been better for "Missy" to have been The Rani instead of The Master. It fits so much better, since last time we saw her, she had a T-Rex in her Tardis, and she was the master bio-engineer and turning dead bodies into Cybermen would have been right up her alley.
Ellie, you have inserted yourself into my morning prayer. As a priest, I daily recite the Benedictus, which includes the line "As for you, little child, you shall be called a prophet of God the Most High". Make of that what you will!😅
But to be honest, if one didnt realize Yana's lab, wasnt paying good enough attention, the very 1st time I saw it, I even said that it looks like something this Doctor would have created
“Tremendous rewatch value”? All Dr. Who episodes, (except Fear Her) have tremendous rewatch value! I have watched every episode hundreds of times as I usually watch at LEAST 2 episodes a day, well technically a night, but still.
@@pheebthedweeb5652 You know, funnily enough I actually don’t mind Kill The Moon too much, but only for literally one moment in the episode which is when Peter says “The moons an egg” and you can just see the look on his face is like “This is so frickin” stupid”
Dr. Who: we need to redub Billy's lines so they match the older actor. They are playing the same person after all. There should be some continuity. Shazam movies: lol, no.
Possible to explain it away as voices change over time and older Billy may have had some throat/larynx issues? It's a stretch I know, but possible! TBH it never bothered me watching the espisodes
ADR isn't as uncommon as you might think. EVERY Star Wars movie has every line of dialog ADRed. Almost ALL the lines in the TARDIS are done with ADR since the time roto is so damn noisy. As well as most shots done out doors.
Every scene on the Enterprise bridge in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was dubbed, because of the noise from all the rear-screen projectors that made the work station screens light up.
"case in point, the reign of terror" I definitely didn't notice it wasn't William Hartnell, since I haven't seen that at all, something about black and white Dr who thats just unwatchable. Guess this still happens today. Something people thought was good before is viewed as unwatchable by the newer generation.
there is absolutely no reason to use actors to play weeping angels in anything but one or two very specific instances, all that money wasted on paying actors and digital effects to do what actual statues would have done _better_ for the one off cost of production and minor maintenance cost. just think about what else they could have done with those funds?
Sadly I stopped being entertained once Jodie became the Doctor. It wasn't because of her either but more so that the stories were dumb. I think I made it through most of her first season, then found myself not looking forward to the next episodes. A pity, she would have been a great Doctor under RTD
*Maybe*, but I recall Jodie Whittaker saying she didn't even bother learning about the past Doctors, as if it was beneath her as a "talented thespian". Matt Smith may not have been very familiar with the show before he took the role, but once he was cast he went through and watched a lot of old episodes to familiarize himself with where the character had come from. And many times you could see him channeling the past actors, and you could really believe he was a young face on a very old soul. Jodie never convinced me she was anything but a very irritating show off.
@@SenileOtaku I didn't know that, I might need to go educate myself a bit more about Jodie. Matt Smith was a pleasant surprise for me after I thought no one could compare to David Tennant
In all reality, 'Dont Blink' was one of the greatest episodes, its hard to make 1 that actually has nothing to do with the Doctor and stil make it worth watching, the actors of that ep did a great job.. I know it's not the only 1 but its the 1 that has the least amount to do with the Doctor but the most to do with a storyline that continues throughout
Recently this channel has gone completely overboard with the excessive number of commercials per short video. I can’t be bothered with sitting through commercials 90 seconds into the video.
I've heard that if you slide the scrubber/seeker thing [the little icon that shows you where you are in the video] all the way to the end of the video then press "replay," it'll play without ads.
@@jb888888888 I need something, I’m sure it’s a commercial and very 90 seconds. This doesn’t happen with any other channel. They are ridiculously money hungry.
As a woman why are you writing women out of the acting profession by referring to them as actors when they are actresses? You seem to push this wokeness on all your videos, but no doubt you think Jodie Witless is a good actress and Chinballs a good show runner.
Why is it such a huge issue to refer to actors who are female as actors instead of actresses? That's not even wOkE that's just using the non-gendered term, dingus.
I always thought the weeping angels were props since I think they only showed them move during one episode.
Yeah it was in one of the first Eleventh Doctor episodes right? With Amy and River

Some people have called these recording, script and design elements as 'Easter Eggs' but they are not - they are really the method the whole production team use to slowly mesh together everything recorded and broadcast (and not yet recorded or broadcast) to fully do justice to The Doctor! The larger the recorded back catalogue of The Doctor's life and work affecting Earth the more reflections back we will see. Some writers have 'allegedly' deliberately tried to write The Doctor into a 'time and space relative corner'.
I didn't know any of these things. That's fantastic.
Nice work, y'all (sorry, that's Texas talking).
How on Earth did you... No, don't ruin the mystery. I'll just continue to believe you have super powers.
Hey mate, don't sweat it. You have the Avengers and DC Superheros, and Trump! You'll be fine.
@@paulmckean5692 Cofused.
Why do I need those?
Have you met Ellie?
Super powers.
While different weeping angels aren’t unheard of my mom encountered one when she was younger at a local church and she went back the neck day to talk to the priest and to her shock she wasn’t the first person to mention the weeping angel.
Two Blue Peter badges! That should come back for companions.
11:22 Was he one of the early Big Finish voice actors?
Interesting that explains why billy suddenly has an English accent when he meets the doctor in blink
I like surprises in different places in Doctor Who a few old favourites, there are still some that have to be seen to be lieved. In the second doctor his just regenerated and taking a shower? And there's a small clip in the tardis where I am sure we see two doctor's when David turns into Matt we see David of set slightly it might be a double of David, with all the special effects around you can see a sharp of someone behind Matt Smith not in focus, but there a arm in the background?
And Tom, as the doctor often walking through a set and breaking something or picking something up only to put in his pockets a moment later reaching into same pockets and saying how about a jelly baby? And the doctors scarf often nocks over a prop, or sometimes Tom flicks it and it gets suck in a bit of the set.
And the Tardis one or more times it often switches colours after landing this is a slightly odd moment in the earlier doctor's series in black and white it never mattered well almost never until when shooting in a darkened room a propman made a mistake with painting one side light colours a brighter blue it then in future shoots turn oneside dark blue and light blue not really a problem for black and white film? But over days of shooting, some noticed on film a two toned tardis, grey and black. Years later, in Jon's time the tardis doors opened outwards in an episode or two. In his first appearance, the doors opened inwards and outwards, and the tardis had a backdoor it opened by accident, and Jon sometimes discovered ways to make an entrance and exit from the tardis either funny or dramatic, he even broke one of doors.
There's loads of outtakes of the doctors in whoinverse I wonder if there is anything coming on these in the future on the ipayer and TH-cam?
It's a shame Anthony Ainley passed away before he could reprise the role of the Master in his re-introduction.
And I still think it would have been better for "Missy" to have been The Rani instead of The Master. It fits so much better, since last time we saw her, she had a T-Rex in her Tardis, and she was the master bio-engineer and turning dead bodies into Cybermen would have been right up her alley.
Ace,s coat reminds me of something Dave Lister would wear
I see McCoy/Aldred, I upvote.
Funny thing, 90 % of list is for new dr who, and new who is almost 20 years old
I didn't know that Ace worked at T.G.I.Fridays... lots of "flair"...
You should really cover red dwarf
Yoooo, Buckinghamshire is pog
as far as Ace's pins go, i just figure the episodes aired out of in-universe order
Ellie, you have inserted yourself into my morning prayer. As a priest, I daily recite the Benedictus, which includes the line "As for you, little child, you shall be called a prophet of God the Most High". Make of that what you will!😅
Awesome!!!
Well there's a delivery truck in The Red Badge Of Courage which was set in the US Civil War, so it happens
I wonder how they put the Master's face on all the people, must've been a lot of work post-production
I just discovered that Harbo Wholms hates River Song. You two should duel.
Don't let River know - she's ruthless
But to be honest, if one didnt realize Yana's lab, wasnt paying good enough attention, the very 1st time I saw it, I even said that it looks like something this Doctor would have created
Now THAT was a good video. Very informative.
how about you start titling these "you may not have realised..." instead of assuming we all know nothing
Ah Dr Who, you were great once. RIP.
T.V. has to do a lot of that.
You forgot to mention how, for an alien, Chan Tho was beautiful.
🪛🪄✨Shimmer… 8:39
“Tremendous rewatch value”? All Dr. Who episodes, (except Fear Her) have tremendous rewatch value! I have watched every episode hundreds of times as I usually watch at LEAST 2 episodes a day, well technically a night, but still.
fear her is a very funny choice to pick for least rewatchable, i find so many episodes way more insufferable -- like kill the moon oh my godd
@@pheebthedweeb5652 You know, funnily enough I actually don’t mind Kill The Moon too much, but only for literally one moment in the episode which is when Peter says “The moons an egg” and you can just see the look on his face is like “This is so frickin” stupid”
Dr. Who: we need to redub Billy's lines so they match the older actor. They are playing the same person after all. There should be some continuity.
Shazam movies: lol, no.
Possible to explain it away as voices change over time and older Billy may have had some throat/larynx issues? It's a stretch I know, but possible! TBH it never bothered me watching the espisodes
No ones going to be surprised that the **** who wouldn't move their car owns a Porsche
I am confused on why they choice a type writer for the keyboard instead of old terminal keyboard.
Shimmer! - For the actors, I mean m. 😂
DW has had plenty of great actors/actresses.
I want to argue that Billy’s dubbing is noticeably, but maybe I’m fussy I don’t know
I didn't notice and I watched Blink every week for a year!
Whatever I do, I can't see the Master's face in the wave. I'm short-sighted, maybe that has something to do with that
Brian PROUDFOOT? WTH? A Doctor Who-Lord of the Rings crossover? ;-)
He also had a cameo in the 4th Doctor classic, _The Orc in Space_ ;)
With a whole Universe and Time to play with - you're SUPRISED?
we\epoing against trick/reveal that when you look at them your are creating more weaping angles and they make copy of themself in the eyes
DOCTOR IMPOSTER IS ABOUT TO HAVE A NEW CHAMPION AFTER WILD BLUE YONDER
of course the one person to not move their car was a porsche owner
I Disney even know the weeping angel were people I thought there were posable statuees
ADR isn't as uncommon as you might think. EVERY Star Wars movie has every line of dialog ADRed. Almost ALL the lines in the TARDIS are done with ADR since the time roto is so damn noisy. As well as most shots done out doors.
Every scene on the Enterprise bridge in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was dubbed, because of the noise from all the rear-screen projectors that made the work station screens light up.
@@willmfrank You are right about those 8mm projectors. I forgot about them. Most LucasFilm stuff is all dubbed as well.
The pool scene in School Reunion was ADRed. And LOTs of tricks are used in Midnight.
11:31 Nice one. Can't see anything.
4:09 well she was 3 at a time and even called herself sexy😂😂
If "every image of an angel is an angel" then what about the actors dressed like the angels? will they actually become the angels? )))
Ah John Simm best master ever
Don't blink
Classics 📺 night gallery
Why would you say Spoilers only after you spoiled the ending of an episode...
"case in point, the reign of terror" I definitely didn't notice it wasn't William Hartnell, since I haven't seen that at all, something about black and white Dr who thats just unwatchable. Guess this still happens today. Something people thought was good before is viewed as unwatchable by the newer generation.
realize*
wow didnt know a few ahh
Dw
there is absolutely no reason to use actors to play weeping angels in anything but one or two very specific instances, all that money wasted on paying actors and digital effects to do what actual statues would have done _better_ for the one off cost of production and minor maintenance cost. just think about what else they could have done with those funds?
Sadly I stopped being entertained once Jodie became the Doctor. It wasn't because of her either but more so that the stories were dumb. I think I made it through most of her first season, then found myself not looking forward to the next episodes. A pity, she would have been a great Doctor under RTD
*Maybe*, but I recall Jodie Whittaker saying she didn't even bother learning about the past Doctors, as if it was beneath her as a "talented thespian". Matt Smith may not have been very familiar with the show before he took the role, but once he was cast he went through and watched a lot of old episodes to familiarize himself with where the character had come from. And many times you could see him channeling the past actors, and you could really believe he was a young face on a very old soul. Jodie never convinced me she was anything but a very irritating show off.
@@SenileOtaku I didn't know that, I might need to go educate myself a bit more about Jodie. Matt Smith was a pleasant surprise for me after I thought no one could compare to David Tennant

The title to this feels off.
Doesn't really feel like "tricks" and more clever production stuff.
I'm ignoring that (probably a clickbait term) - I usually skim pass things with suck titles but was drawn in to look before judging tonight
In all reality, 'Dont Blink' was one of the greatest episodes, its hard to make 1 that actually has nothing to do with the Doctor and stil make it worth watching, the actors of that ep did a great job.. I know it's not the only 1 but its the 1 that has the least amount to do with the Doctor but the most to do with a storyline that continues throughout
We should of gotten the doctor tested more often
Don't praise Jodie and Mandip. They can't act.
Recently this channel has gone completely overboard with the excessive number of commercials per short video.
I can’t be bothered with sitting through commercials 90 seconds into the video.
Adblock is your friend
I've heard that if you slide the scrubber/seeker thing [the little icon that shows you where you are in the video] all the way to the end of the video then press "replay," it'll play without ads.
@@jb888888888 I need something, I’m sure it’s a commercial and very 90 seconds. This doesn’t happen with any other channel.
They are ridiculously money hungry.
I've only had one short add before the vid. And one easily skipped ad midway.. Standard for TH-cam No problem here..
@@AngelaH2222 crazy, I get an add every 90 seconds with this channel. It doesn’t happen with any others.
Steven Moffat ruined Who.
Disagree chinball did
Bring back Captain Jack
As a woman why are you writing women out of the acting profession by referring to them as actors when they are actresses? You seem to push this wokeness on all your videos, but no doubt you think Jodie Witless is a good actress and Chinballs a good show runner.
Why is it such a huge issue to refer to actors who are female as actors instead of actresses? That's not even wOkE that's just using the non-gendered term, dingus.
