MORE ABOUT DOCTOR WHO:
Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC since November 23rd, 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called "The Doctor", an extraterrestrial being, appearing to be human. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. Its exterior appears as a blue British metropolitan police box, which was a common sight in Britain in the 1960’s when the series first aired. Accompanied by a number of companions, the Doctor combats a variety of foes like the Daleks and Cybermen while working to save civilisations and save people in need.
Beginning with William Hartnell, over fifteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show with the concept of regeneration into a new incarnation and body, a plot device in which a Timelord "transforms" into a new body when the current one is too badly harmed to heal normally.
Ncuti Gatwa had previously been announced as Jodie Whittaker's successor after David Tennant reprises his role as the doctor in the 60th anniversary specials as the programme's lead, and many reports stated he would play the Fourteenth Doctor and that Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor would regenerate into an incarnation portrayed by Gatwa. Upon Jodie Whittaker's final appearance as the character in The Power Of The Doctor, she instead regenerated into a form similar to the Tenth Doctor. This character, portrayed by Tennant, was confirmed to be the Fourteenth Doctor, with later clarification that Ncuti Gatwa would actually portray the Fifteenth Doctor. Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th doctor has also had his companion announced as Millie Gibson playing Ruby Sunday live on Children In Need.
On 24 September 2021, the BBC announced Russell T Davies would return to Doctor Who as showrunner, after having previously acted as showrunner from 2005-2010 for the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. He will succeed Chibnall for the show's 60th anniversary in 2023 and beyond. Davies will be joined by the Bad Wolf production company, which was founded by former Doctor Who executive producer Julie Gardner and former BBC head of drama Jane Tranter. In October 2021, it was announced that Sony would acquire a majority of Bad Wolf. Bad Wolf also took over creative control of Doctor Who beginning with the specials, allowing the BBC to focus on establishing Doctor Who as a global brand. The new era of Doctor Who is being labelled as RTD2 as it is Russel’s second era of Doctor Who.

I like that 15’s first time experiencing racism isn’t in a historical episode, but in a futuristic setting. It strongly counters the idea that this kind of prejudice is just a thing of the past.
Well there was time traveller from "Rosa".
@@pandaphil Well I wouldn't use Rosa as a positive example for anything but yeah I guess that's true.
@@Creek932 Some of us liked it.
It kind of gives "I've lost faith in the whole human race, we will bring that crap with us, even to other planets" and honestly with everything that has been going on, is going on from I don't know what year to 2024 here and whenever they'll be...it seems fking likely..shamefully.
@@Creek932 why? I loved rosa! The space racist was silly and the weakest part of the episode no doubt but the rest definitely hit for me.
The ending where it's revealed the entire FineTime society is made up of Bowelstrek subscribers was incredible!
Nah, a bowlestrek would never had listened to a black person or a woman under any circumstances.
Not very friendly of you. The ending represents you too.
@@MerryOlSoulGigglesmith
Bro no way you're comparing not liking Bowelstrek to being racist 💀
@@MerryOlSoulGigglesmith
I actually cannot believe this is a real comment. Like dude say sike right now. No way you unironically think me disapproving of Bowelstrek, a mask-off racist, is equivalent to being a racist myself. By that logic, anyone who stands up against evil is automatically evil themselves. Absolute insanity my guy.
Imagining Bowel Movement probably having a conniption watching this episode just makes my day😂😂😂
"How am I supposed to root for this character"
That's the neat part, you don't
this one holds up on a rewatch quite a bit since there’s a lot of foreshadowing about the twist throughout the episode, like the Doctor getting immediately blocked and not Ruby, Lindy going “he’s not as stupid as he looks”, her being disgusted at him and Ruby being in the same room, etc.
It says a lot that Lindy loved Ricky September but didn't like The Doctor, despite Ricky sharing a lot of the same qualities as him. The only thing separating them was the colour of their skin.
I mean Ricky even found out his home planet was destroyed like it was his own personal Gallifrey.
I did wonder if Lindy betrayed Ricky because he seemed to be too smart...Too open to new things...
He was a reader, I think that sealed his fate.
There were soooo many overt and subtle signs of racism scattered throughout the episode:
1. Lindy was revolted and blocked the Doctor when he first appeared on her feed.
2. Lindy didnt block Ruby. She was more receptive to Ruby when she appeared on her feed. Lindy spoke to Ruby and believed her over the Doctor.
3. When the Doctor appeared for the second time on her feed, Lindy asked him if the monsters "have something to do with you" (she didnt ask Ruby this, just the Doctor)
4. Lindy told her groupcall to listen to the Doctor and that "i know this is wrong and after this is all over he will be so disciplined, i cant wait, and he doesn't look as atupid as he looks" (of course due to the color of his skin)
5. No person of color lived in Finetime
6. Lindy was shocked to learn that Ruby and the Doctor were in the same room together in such close proximity
7. Lindy told the Doctor "Didnt I block you? I knew it. I just thought you looked the same, but you're the same person I blocked. I was so right to hate you." (Implying all black people look the same)
8. When they met, Lindy told Ruby and the Doctor "Gosh, you two, this is strange." (meaning a white and black person working together)
9. And a few more microagressions towards the Doctor before they met in the final scene AND in the final scene where the racism got blatant.
Also notice how the option to block was there immediately with the Doctor but not Ruby, it’s like the algorithm is deliberately designed to filter out non-white people.
This is a crucial episode for the Doctor. This is the day he realizes the white privilege he's had for thousands of years is gone. No more punching racists. There are going to be some people that won't let him save them. I love that this happens in a futuristic episode and not a historical one. Ruby connects the dots earlier than the Doctor does, which is perfect since she grew up as the white child of a black parent. She would have witnessed microaggressions and racism towards her family and would have had to exercise her white privilege on behalf of her family.
White privilege? That only works in very very few settings. He has been throughout time and space. Most planets won't even have humans let alone different coloured skin.
This is one of the dumbest comments I've read in a while. This is the Doctor. He's been across all of time and space, seen countless planets with cultural and racial hangups, he does not care, as long as they are not villains he will save them even though they are stupid cause he's seen through time and knows how cultures can grow and change.
Black people in England are very disconnected from ghetto culture, most don't care about old racism, people are just people.
And most people outside of Twitter don't care about microaggressions. Because they have actual lives.
Forgive him because its a américain beleve like when bro gonna care about skin colors or race
I really hope it becomes a trend for streaming shows to put season finales in theatres. I desperately want cinemas to thrive
Another example of the microaggressions: Lindy not realising the Doctor is who she blocked earlier because "I thought you just looked the same"
The social commentary is so so much better then chibnall, so much more daring with way more to say
Finally, an episode that I actually enjoyed over it's preview. This episode was great. Maybe not on the level as last week but still a great episode.
I SO wish the first two episodes of this series weren't so weirdly written, because other than them this series has been a great introduction for new viewers.
I like how it started off as a meme, but dot and bubble was actually peak ngl
Bowlestrek fanbase got represented
LOL, so true.
Netrodic too... but it's the same fanbase.
I truely believe that was Ncuti’s “I am the Doctor” moment there. No big speeches, just the pure rage and laughter at the stupidity of the Finetimers.
Also interesting little detail, Ruby tries to initially comfort him but then flinches and backs away when he gets really enraged. Her first experience with the fury of a Timelord.
the first thing a lot of people didn't noticed she block only the beginning Ruby she trust fast. She said in the middle to Doctor: ''you all look the same'' this was making me more uncomfortable already, as a black person, by the ending scene was all confirmed
I really like the way this episode hides what it's really doing behind a much more obvious and played out "Kids these days need to look up from their phones" message. I thought I knew what the commentary was so I wasn't paying attention to the microaggressions until the "voodoo" comment. It's blindingly obvious on a second viewing but wow, so well done.
For what it's worth I do also like the slug monsters and the horror scenes with them in the first half, probably the best possible presentation for that sort of commentary, and it's nice to get a new alien monster design. Not my favorite of the season, Devil's Chord, Boom, and 73 Yards rank above it in terms of enjoyment, but this was way stronger than I expected and the twists actually hit me very hard. Poor Ricky, man.
They didn't spend their whole life learning to walk, homeworld used the Dots as well, the mother says it and the slugs invaded there which means they gotta be there
Yeah I realised this whilst editing this video.. oopsies on my part
I loved it 😍 absolutely brilliant
Amazed that you don’t have more subscribers. I thought I’d found a 50k channel when I found you. Thank you doctor who memeulous
I liked it, it was very thought provoking
"The more I speak it out loud the more it makes sense."
Brilliant episode. I think it's just, so well done. One of the better social commentary episodes. It's not being performative about it or anything. Perfectly "subtle" yet so overt at the same time. So much racism in our lives going unnoticed and ignored by those who aren't subjected to it daily, simply because it isn't always just some sort of loud physical and verbal violence.
I think it did an awesome job on what it set out to do and was brilliant , and I really liked it. I appreciated having a hated protagonist. It's pretty daring imo to do your story and make your main lead very much not the good guy.
Really loved hearing your thoughts :)
I liked the moments Ricky apologised for hugging her and then asked for consent before holding her hand. I think if the audience hasn't picked up on Lindy's comments (and the fact that everyone on Finetime is white), it bolsters the idea that the people in this society are a little "stupid" as Lindy says and very sheltered, but at heart they are decent; and then you realise they're all racists, so the whole thing about asking for consent seems like such a minor, performative thing, if that makes sense. They are so kind and respectful to each other in this almost over-the-top way that you often see in online spaces, but in the real world (with real people who don't fit into their little group), they are actively hostile. It was interesting to me.
I actually think this is the strongest one so far. I noticed quite early on that everyone on Finetime was white, so I was a little discomfited throughout waiting for the Doctor and Ruby to make the connection. It really worked for me because, I think if the Doctor were human, they might have felt uncomfortable much earlier one. However, the Doctor has travelled around the universe with this shield of whiteness for such a long time, that they don't have the human understanding of what it means to appear in an all-white society as a Black person.
I did also love how it appears at first to be a "phone bad" episode, and will definitely appear that way to a lot of people until the very final scene. Obviously there is a lot of commentary on social media, etc., but more in the way that it can isolate you, keeping you "entertained" and constantly validated in your (in this case, white supremacist) Bubble. It really worked for me.
That consent point you made is actually very good. Makes sense. I think My initial reaction to it in the episode was like "oh, phone bad now they're teaching us about consent" was worried it was going overboard. Obviously in Hindsight it all makes sense now! Great points! :D
Good point about being a 'reaction' video and it not helping you realise the subtleties initially. I had to comment on someone else's last week when the reviewer was watching at midnight with a bunch of other people and their group-think missed so much.
I found it weird how at first Lindsey and September really seemed to mirror The Doctor and his companions. His dialogue and the shots of them escaping together seemed to be deliberately similar, and then boom, headshot! I cackled out loud
Almost like lindey didn't have a problem with someone acting like the doctor she had a problem with one specific characteristic.
Them not being able to walk without the arrows is a metaphor for those in a bubble not being able to think without the bubble.
They never learned their lesson, they never had an opportunity to grow, we just left them in the knowledge that they were going to die one by one: but not even really caring about that fact because they weren't exactly sympathetic characters! Left me feeling unresolved frustration... If that was RTD's aim, then mission accomplished.
You can't save everyone, especially from themselves.
Racism often leaves us with unresolved frustration
Omg this made me realise I am so blind to (less obvious) racism 🤦🏼♀️ I was so confused at the end why the doctor didn’t want to save everyone else, why he just left everyone else there and didn’t seem to care. Makes sense now that they don’t want to be save by ‘him’… I think I will rewatch and do better to spot micro-aggressions in the world. Very interesting and different type of episode!
It's okay you can skip Flux, we don't need to relive it :)
At the end I was like the doctor was thinking the master was right!!!
Just found your channel. Really liking your commentary and editing! As for the episode, absolutely loved it! I was so fucking angry lmao because I did feel like there was a bunch of racist little comments but I was trying to brush it off because it was the protagonist saying them.
There's something so interesting about the Doctor's fondness for humanity. He loves mankind but we can't help but disappoint him. There were a few good examples in Eccleston and Tennant's runs - MIdnight, the Titanic xmas special where only the worst passenger survived
Now I'm just remembering the Doctor must turn away in shame line from Torchwood.
@@Prince__Teclis THANK YOU! I knew I'd forgotten a banger haha
We’ve come a long way from the doctor telling Martha not to worry about being black and “just walk around like you own the place that’s what I do!”
This won’t happen but i want the doctor to go and apologize to her for that episode and for the whole family of blood story
In fairness, it wasn't really The Doctors fault that he landed in that era. If the tenth Doctor could control where they ended up there's no way in hell he would've picked being a teacher in a military school right before WW1, that goes against everything he stands for.
Ok - but for "Family of Blood" the Doctor made himself human - it's not actually his fault that racism existed in that time and Martha had to deal with it.
Yeah but he didn’t have to choose a time period where she was sure to be discriminated against. He could have been human anytime anywhere
@@hillakatz5855 Pretty sure he didn't get to choose himself. There's no way the Tenth Doctor would have picked being a professor at a military school of his own free will, it goes against everything he believes.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466yeah the family are on his ass in the time vortex I'm pretty sure he just gets spit out at a random location
The episodes direction on social media wasn’t the way I thought it would go but it was a really interesting take and the ending surprised me. Ncuti was really acting his ass off and The Doctor’s is entirely justified in that moment.
Do you know what will be funny, how reactionaries like Bowlestrek, Nerdrotic, Will of the Fans etc will react to essentially seeing themselves on screen and trying to justify their actions and portray Russell and Ncuti as the bad guys. I hope to see you react to those responses on your second channel just to see how delusional and mask off bigoted they are just like the people of FineTime.
Banger of an episode
"It's a Tory bubble." Nice one.
The fact I was cheering the bloody slugs to eat Lindy said something about it. The actress did such a fantastic job of making me hate the character she did. That is some seriously good acting if you can do it. I loved the episode, although not beaten 73 yards personally. Solid 8 I think. Also, Ricky was done DIRTY, rip Ricky. Ncuti gave a good speech at the end, you can see how betrayed he felt after working so hard on Lindy.
Also, the chibnall video looks exciting ❤
You're not a real Doctor Who fan jodie bot
@@MichaelM28 OMFG YOU'RE FAKE FAN, SHUT UP NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU MAN
We need an end of season tier list
Loved this episode. I wonder how many people watched this all the way through without realising it was about racism until the end when their own bubble burst hey hey commentary. I know a number of minorities who caught on quickly but most white people didn't.
For why the AI used slugs and not the little gravity balls, my favourite theory is that it's because the AI really does "hate them." It wants them to die slowly and terrified being eaten to death after walking into a monster due to their own vapid stupidity.
As for them not knowing how to walk properly: I'm pretty sure they had the bubbles on the Homeworld since the AI and slugs managed to wipe them out too. They likely had them from a young age. That's also why Ricky was so apologetic about the hug, they've almost never had any real live human contact or intimacy.
The dot has bad battery life so it needs to be charged all the time that's why it used the monsters
Good point.
I really like how this episode is very much in the doctors perspective like Lindy is the worst but she is the protagonist because the doctor is rooting for her to win, he is like the audience member in this situation.
That was pretty much my reaction to this episode, I wouldn't say I loved this episode either, I definitely didn't hate it but unlike the other episodes of this series It didn't fully engage me but holy hell did it make me think and reflect back on it. I didn't even realise at first that Lindy's hostility towards The Doctor was due to racism at first and I just thought it was because The Doctor and Ruby were strangers and outsiders, but then I realised that Ruby was not on the receiving end of the hostility, especially at the end and I thought to myself "Huh, that seemed a bit racist, Oh... OHHHHHHH. Oh no it was and it has been like this ALL episode"
I do have a criticism from an episode standpoint though, I'd really have like to have properly learned more about the heroes of the story, you know, the slugs and the killers dots.
Why the slugs ? The dot want them to suffer
Really love the ending but not as sold on the rest as a lot of other people seem to be. Also I'll be watching the last 2 eps in cinemas too! Can't wait.
They literally live in their own bubble and have lost the ability to even see what's going on around them - and someone who's not like them can scream "Look at this problem there" as much as they want....
Keep up the great work Danny! I'm excited to see what you're cooking up!
Bowelstrek’s dropped his review of the episode and I think we can be assured that he’s definitely pissed off about in all the best possible ways. He made some questionable comments on it but I’m not sure if I should spoil all of them as I want it to be a surprise if you react to it. I will say that there is one moment where he experiences joy of seeing a trans person getting eaten by the slugs. That being Gothic Paul whose actor is trans and he’s happy about it. Yikes.

Happy Saturday my duke, watched this reaction with my wife and she likes your curtains. Anyway I'm glad you enjoyed this one, a fantasticly relevant message of how social media creates fake lives that are still owned by racist companies. I'm glad the episode ended how it did, The Doctor couldn't save their body or souls.
Be careful with the curtains comments ! The next you know she'll be offering to hang them!
@@themillcollective6227 🤣🍸
aha I appreciate that and I agree! The curtains were actually left here by the previous tenants 🤣
@DannyTDW Thanks for the reply, all the best.
i can list a few people who are going to HATE that they were put in this without permission lmao
really liked this one, big black mirror vibes, better than the devils cord but not as good as boom
Don't quite get why you had an issue with the hugging and holding hands moment? This is set far in the future.
Did they disinfect the white, brown haired people too because they all seemed to be blond or ginger? (which in modern media, is a tad strange too.)
I literally said the same thing ncuti's outfit in this episode is THE outfit for 15!!!
The only thing I would change is to not have the bubble UI have a big flashing red text alert mode come up with flashing red borders saying “unsolicited contact” or whatever it was when the doctor first called. If he had just been treated as normal and she dismissed him since he wasn’t on her lists (or just a normal white text “unknown caller “)
Basically I want it all to come from her and not the computer telling her he shouldn’t be talking contacting her. I get it can be seen as commentary as the system enforcing the thought process but I feel it muddies the water giving her an actual normal reason to block what seemed like a spam caller
Absolutely fucking gassed for the chibnal video. I love your takes on the wokoids too. Not enough people are calling them out
A great episode, I would imagine the doctor was so angry at the end because its the first time he's come up against rascism because of the colour of his skin.
Do you have a problem with the concept of consent?
How did you not understand what you were watching?
Please have that woman you had on the channel before
I actually watched it, and then I was confused at the ending and did not quite get it. Then I watched it again and saw all the subtle racist comments. I was actually angry after watching it a second time. More mad at the white privilege and assumption of superiority over others. Others may disagree, but this was an excellent episode. It makes you see past everyday nuance to see what is really happening.
I detested her which means she did a good job of a horrible script. I was hoping that they'd either throw salt on the slug or the slugs would eat um on the way out. 😐 Susan I have a theory the doc's 1st companion something to do with both him and Ruby.
What is this video even? (Sorry if this is satire, have trouble picking up on that stuff)
HE BUG WAS INTERESTING -
DISNEY STAR WARS TURNED UP IN THE EPISODE WITH THE, LIGHT SABER TRAINING WITH THAT PATHETIC TINY BALL,
THE LORD OF THE RINGS ENDING
PLEASE END THE SERIES
7:05 tbh i think the constant questioning of consent to the littlest things is supposed to be satirical to fit their pompous/stuck-up attitudes. the finetime society is such a sheltered and privileged area and i'm more than certain it's criticising this obsessive behaviour along with their characters.
Guys Bowel Movement has just made his video review for Dot and Bubble. As expected it’s just him screaming in the microphone trying to kill are eardrums.
'You watched it so we don't have to '
I am one of those who would normally complain about having an episode focused on a “Woke” issue.
I loved this episode.
This is how you make a critical commentary on the world we live in. The Chib series, as well as a few bits and pieces in this current series have been done poorly. No, aggressively and maliciously. Take your previous video on the musical episode for example. There was a line in the very beginning, where the Maestro said “They” in response to being called “him”. Took me out of the show straight away. I have no objection to the message of respecting trans people’s right of their personal identity. However, what does having that line achieve?
No one watching that scene will understand how damaging using the wrong pronoun is to a trans person. Therefore change their behaviours in the future.
The Maestro and the writer is simply assuming moral superiority against someone who
A)they just met and therefore have no way of knowing their preferences, and
B) is from so long ago, long before the current fad of correct language came to be.
So all this achieves is breaking immersion to address the audience. Piss off the “anti-woke” and ruin the experience for everyone else. Possibly pushing ppl toward anti-woke.
You know what’s my reaction when I watch these kind of scenes? I groan. In the same way someone make a bad cringy joke, waiting for laughs. I’m not disgusted, I’m not outraged. I’m annoyed at the cringe.
this might be worse then space babies
this is an insane take
LOL, you mad because this episode called our your bubbles?
This entire episode can be easily been shortened down to the so called Dot killing all the humans when ever they like no one gives a sh¿t anyways what gives with the slugs?? An utter nonsense this series.
Added more questions to the pile then last week
@@DeusLucifer
Dots need recharging:/ It was literally said in the show. Not the most optimal solution for the AI.
@jeckjeck3119 so this Dot can't recharge itself does it say it needs someone to charge it? And it's so smart that it can grow creature think it will be hindered by battery's?
To be fair there wasn't much of a story here it felt really dragged out. So the main character is annoying and stuck in her bubble we got that within 5 minutes. She then spends 35 minutes being bloody annoying and stupid.
The doctor and ruby are just annoying also in this.
At the end it turns out she is also racist. Why would anyone be surprised she is a horrible character.
The doctor agrees to save her despite this.
Ncuti then decides to get angry and act. And then he just cries like he seemed to do all the time.
Nobody cares that these horrible people are probably going to their deaths. Good riddance.
There is literally nothing deeper to this. It is a 5-minute idea dragged out over 40 minutes.
Couldn't wait for it to end and was hoping everybody in it was going to get eaten by the big bugs.
And finally where the hell is this Disney budget it looks cheap and some of the scenes go on way too long.
It was shit. Lets be honest. Theyre now on disney plus and i hope they get better (the episodes) but theyve been shit so far. Ever now and then we get a "wow" "that's good" kinda moment but again, shit
this was easily my least favorite episode of the season.
Wot a lot of woke shit that was
Cry about it else where 😘
It was only white people for like 95% of the episode, isn’t that what you wanted?
@@DannyTDW Exactly I'm sad how there's homophobic and racist people watching doctor who that are talking about it online and creating a community of negative bad people 🥺 And woke shouldn't be a thing 😢 (if that made sense?
@@DannyTDW please do more reaper videos 😢
I question peoples taste these days because this episode was awful, acting is terrible, the messages in them are awful.
The message was horrible and that was the point. Living in your own social bubble is bad for you. Showing off the entitlement of rich white kids, while only hinting at racism while not being overt about it, the dangers of AI, and hubris of self importance over community are what makes this episode amazing. The acting was campy and I believe it to be on purpose as a mockery of social media personalities.
It’s possible to dislike the show for any number of reasons but without any dissemination of why you dislike it comes off as you were triggered by it. I don’t want to be that kind of person and I hope you can come up with some reason beyond “I don’t like it. End thought. “
