Congratulations on your 1st regeneration! Nobody ever knows how they feel at first because you're grieving the loss of a doctor, and the introduction of a new one. For those of us who've been through this, just enjoy the ride!
Christopher Eccleston left pretty abruptly because there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes which caused him to suffer from really bad mental health problems. He has said that he left the show because he "didn't enjoy the environment or the culture that the cast and crew had to work in", but that he was proud of having played the role. He said in a subsequent interview, "My relationship with my three immediate superiors - the showrunner, the producer and co-producer - broke down irreparably during the first block of filming and it never recovered." On a positive note, Eccleston began appearing as a guest at Doctor Who conventions for the first time in 2018. He had previously expressed his reluctance to appear at conventions, saying in 2017 that he preferred to "just earn his living by acting". He has since said that his experience of meeting fans at conventions "healed something in him" and made him re-evaluate his relationship to the series.
Straight talking heterosexual Northerners don't seem to gel too well with the liberal luvvies in the BBC. I was working at a studio doing some construction work years go and panicking production team member came running in and told my colleague and me to move our toolboxes and hide out of site whilst the actors walked in. She said that they would have a breakdown if the had to walk past 'workmen'.
@@IanDarleyDon't forget we wouldn't have had the show back juggernaut style if it wasn't for the so called 'liberal luvvies', so swings and roundabouts I suppose.
The rumor was that the director of the first block wasn't very pleasant to work with - probably due to the intense pressure he was under - and when Eccleston took cast and crew complaints to Phil Collinson, Phil refused to intervene because the shoot was running behind. Eccleston got into a shouting match with him and eventually thumped Phil. Nothing will get you sacked faster than punching a producer. Understandably, Julie and Russell weren't entirely happy with the situation. Everyone was under a lot of pressure and it led to the four of them not talking again. A sad incident and an unfortunate situation all round.
I really wish we would have gotten more of 9, he is my favorite and Ecclestone really portraid all the emotions of the Doctor, from joy to anger to sadness to absolute fear. Just look at that scene after he closes the Tardis door and leans his head on it listening to the Daleks outside. Catching himself for a moment after being taken completely of guard (and scared out of his mind). Subtle but very strong. That said, enjoy 10, he is also great. :)
Oh Alan, are you prepared for the ride ahead of you mate? I surely hope so, cos it's gonna be a fun one.. There's going to be lots of emotional stuff that tugs at your heart strings, lots of funny and everything else in between. Tennant's run has some excellent special effects and story-lines that'll blow you away!
Lool, I remember when I was a child and thinking "noo, thats not the doctor 😠" And then when the next actor comes round... "Noo thats not the doctor 😠" Haha rinse and repeat 😂 I do think David Tennant was one of my favourites though, 100% !
Eccleston brought back Dr Who to the UK after a long hiatus and he made the Dr again fun to watch. i think you will start to love Tenant's Dr he stays 3 seasons so got a few episodes of him to watch.
Little tip: Before watching the Christmas Special, yes, they count, which is called The Christmas Invasion, watch the Children in Need special that is set after this regeneration, which is called Born Again. Also, congrats on witnessing your first regeneration. Basically all Time Lords have 13 lives, and to save themselves from death, they can use up a life. It's the same Doctor, but a different face. Christopher Eccleston is the 9th Doctor, and David Tennant is the 10th Doctor. So the series from 1963 with Willam Hartnell is the same Doctor as these now, being he is the 1st Doctor... The original, you might say. 😏 Time Lords can still die while regenerating, which is why when you see it happen, they normally regenerate in a place of safety like The TARDIS.
I assume we dont count Peter Cushing ( effectively Hartnell for the Big Screen), nor the audio book one/s and John Hurt ( didnt the Time Lords allocate more regenerations to The Doctor as some reward for saving the universe ?
@@highpath4776 No we do not count Peter Cushing as the Doctor. He isn't canon. Cushing's Doctor is a human who invented the TARDIS, and his movies are retellings of The Daleks and The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Brilliant shout @happiestaku6646 . The CIN special is a brilliant min-episode introducing David Tennant's Doctor. EB - This is a TH-cam link to that min-episode: th-cam.com/video/uKoSbpSdx1U/w-d-xo.html
Congrats on your fist regeneration Alan. Mad stuff to come, Old doc was great in his own way, next doc is also great in his own way. Eccleston had a tough job to revive the franchise as well as be the new doctor, he carried it off with great aplomb. Mr Tennant is a lot of fun and you're in safe hands again. Just give him mind space and a little time to intro his style. Have fun and be well.😉
Bringing back such an iconic show like this after so many years was a gamble, but thanks to some decent storylines and sfx the show worked. For me it was Christopher Eccleston's performance that made the show popular again.
Me too, I try to keep my comments to things that are generic enough not to spoil the plot or about things relating to the background of the episode. I enjoyed the surprises as they popped up and I love to see others have that same experience.
So glad you enjoyed this season especially the last two episodes, can see the excitement on your face and comments. Thank you, I look forward to seeing more Doctor Who.
Christopher Eccleston gave this reboot a fantastic launch pad, but David Tenant’s Dr.Who is where the real magic happens, hence the recent recall to the role. It’s so hard not to give you any clues as to what “BADWOLF” is about, as I’ll be sent to fifth dimension of time never to return. 😊 And you know I’m keeping you informed about little connections between Dr.Who & DC universe, David was the excellent villain in the first Jessica Jones show.
The woman known as "the Controller" in charge of the entertainment satellite rescuing and preserving The Doctor is a very subtle joke on the way that the series Doctor Who was rescued and brought back to BBC One in 2005 by Lorraine Heggessey whose official job title was "Controller of BBC One"!
Lovin' your reaction to Dr. Who.... All I can say is you're in for one hell of a ride with this show 🤯 peace and love to you from Ireland brother 🙏❤️🇮🇪
This first series with Eccleston was hyped up a lot. On the night before the first episode aired, BBC Radio broadcast a special programme all about it. All the episodes of this first series have been filmed and completed. Eccleston was interviewed and was asked "Are you in i for the long run?", meaning will he be back for another series. Eccleston replied "I've done the long run". To me this instantly told me that he would not return for another series and that the Doctor would regenerate. I was proved right, but no-one believed me. Not even the media picked up on it.
SO many great performances in that episode, everyone sold their parts, and their fears, and deaths, and I think that’s why it works, despite how it starts, all tongue in cheek. Great to watch your reaction beardy lad, I’m loving that you’re getting so into it, these were the glory days and there are years more yet!
The two “girl robots” were Trine E and Zu zana - the Droid versions of the two real life “fashionistas” called Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine. They hosted a TV programme called “what not to wear” to help inspire people to improve and update their fashion sense and taste in clothes! As you will see Captain Jack was a little bit naughty with them 😉😂
Before watching the next season, there is a special "Doctor Who: Children in Need" mini-episode you need to see. It takes place immediately after The Doctor regenerates into David Tennant, leading into his first episode, "The Christmas Invasion."
So glad you’re enjoying Doctor Who Series 1. Christopher Eccleston was my first Doctor so it’s been wonderful to watch your reactions. I remember the week Bad Wolf was broadcast here in the U.K. and everyone went crazy at the cliffhanger of the Daleks returning. It was similar to Game of Thrones level excitement and speculation. It was an agonising wait until the following Saturday for The Parting of the Ways. I still cry at Nine sending Rose home and the regeneration. The excellent music by Murray Gold really ramps up the emotions too! It’s well worth buying the soundtrack if you can! Looking forward to what to make to David Tennant’s Doctor.
Your ending summary was a perfect description of how I felt the first time I saw this. I wasn't disappointed with the new Doctor. I hope you're not either. Happy time travelling!
A great review of a great storyline to end the first series of the reincarnation of the Dr Who story line. Interestingly, at around 29:50, there is a scene containing lots of Daleks on the station, but at that time, BBC Studios were said to only have six Dalek props, so they had to film the scene and over impose the props in different positions. It was said that doing this was complicated, as previously used spots had to be marked so could be avoided next time.
There’s a new Doctor cycle that you have just become aware of. 1) a new Doctor wtf! 2) I don’t like the new Doctor 3) Actually they are quite good. 4) I’m enjoying this I hope this doesn’t change. 5) oh shit a regeneration! 6)back to one
This is the cycle we all go through with new Doctor's. Each one will grow on you! PS please watch the minisode "Born again" before you watch the next full episode (The Christmas Invasion) - It certainly adds some context to Rose's reaction to the newly regenerated Doctor.
@@joshuaverran9443 Don't remember much about them as the Doctors seeing i was a kid when they were the Doc. I do like John Pertwees son Sean Pertwee, especially in the movie Dog Soldiers, he was hilarious in that movie...sorry went off topic there mate.
congrats on your first re-gen :D loved the reaction and it does take a bit of getting used to but tenants doctor has some really cool epps and I cant wait for you to react to them :)
David Tennant plays the next Doctor as brilliantly as Ecclstone but very differently. Wild times ahead don't start season 2 prematurely. If you think you recognise Mr Tennant He is a well respected actor in all types of productions including Harry Potter
Welcome to the Dr Who universe! If you think your brain hurts now wait until you meet all the other generations of the Doctor and his assorted companions. To my knowledge there has been 16 different faces for The Doctor including Peter Cushing in 2 movies and John Hurt in 3 episodes as the 'War Doctor'. Christopher Eccleston's Doctor does refer to him when he said he was there at the 'Time War'.
TH-cam just recommend this to me so this is the first video of yours about Dr. Who I've seen. Knowing what's coming for you. Oh wow, you are in for a wild ride if you continue to watch.
To clear up the pronunciation of "Dalek". It's pretty much pronounced as it's written, with emphasis on the "a", like Daalek. There's no r in either the spelling or pronunciation. For some reason a lot of people seem to get that wrong. Perhaps because English people tend not to pronounce "r" and it often sounds like "aa". As a life long Doctor Who fan (been watching since 1963), I'm really enjoying your reactions. Always great to see someone discovering it for the first time.
There's a few who don't like him, but he's the joint-favourite Doctor alongside Tom Baker for a reason. There's one reactor who really didn't like him - WhyOhWhyPhi - so much so that he made a theory that the 10th Doctor wasn't really the Doctor, but an evil timelord instead.
And now you have the best Doctor since Tom Baker - David Tennant. And some of the best TV writing, not just Dr Who, ever. But not EVERY episode, obviously. Just don't blink...
A piece of useless trivia for you. Jenna Russell who plays the floor manager (uncredited). In this episode of Dr Who. Also sang the Red Dwarf theme tune.
Yes a new version of the Doctor, who plays the role differently from Eccleston, but you will find he makes the role his own and will explore some storylines that will shed light on the Doctors life
I too didn't want Christopher Eccleston to leave so soon & wish he did a 2nd season but I understand why he left & it did set up the concept of regeneration for the New Whovians. As with the old regenerations it takes a bit to get used to the next Doctor but you will grow to love the new personality (normally about the time they change him again lol) but the show does pick up from here with some truly incredible stories that will leave you mind blown, broken hearted or begging for more. Enjoy the ride as much as I am enjoying your reactions & follow the Doctors lead - The best way to fix a problem, is step right up & fix it yourself.
Hi E.B., it was great to see you enjoy this two-parter as much as Whovians at the time. Yes, you will find Dr. Who is often am emotional roller coaster, so I hope you will continue to enjoy the ride !! We have to thank Christopher, along with the production team for doing such a good job of re-instating our beloved character. It`s never easy to lose a Dr. you have enjoyed especially your first, but hopefully you will always find something you enjoy about the new incarnation.
@@highpath4776 Bad Wolf wasn't an anagram, Bad Wolf was a message scattered in space and time to tempt Rose back to the Game Station to save the Doctor. Bad Wolf was also the name of entity she became when she looked into the heart of the time vortex.
Terry Nation (Who held copyright over the Dalek name- assigned for use to the BBC and others) said he got the name from looking at a set of encloypedias, one volume of which covered the words DAL to LEK ( only problem is there is no know editions of any old EBs(sic) or chambers or whatever that had that subset (sometimes it was claimed it was telephone directories rather than encyclopedias, such is Who folklore made).
Great reaction , you picked up on a lot of threads and I'm glad you enjoyed it . This ending really cemented the new show with new and old viewers . Although it went against all narrative practice , introducing sweet Lynda as a ready made replacement actually made the thought Rose was dead believable .The Daleks were a well kept secret , even the papers didn't dare release spoilers . Dr Who is such a big part of so many childhoods and beyond here and bringing it back was a big responsibility , and I think the production was a Labour of love for many involved thankfully Russel T Davies and co. got it right . I hope you enjoyed it enough to continue your reviews of the show . It's very interesting to hear the thoughts of someone who's never seen it so well expressed .
If I recall - the design of the Daleks belongs to (dang, name escapes me…) and they were not sure they would get his agreement to use them in the show. But, I also recall there was a major “leak” that the Daleks would return with a cover of a TV guide showing the Doctor with a Dalek - which I’m trying to remember the story, it was supposed to be photo for the week after the reveal but someone decided it made a better cover without understanding the significance…something like that. Anyone remember the story better?
Terry Nation created the Daleks , I think it may have been the Radio Times , but as a Dalek had already featured in episode six it didn't necessarily mean they were in the finale.
I don't know how far ahead you are but if you're releasing these as you film them there's a bonus mini episode set between this one and the next. It's called Born Again or Children in Need (the charity it was broadcast for) and it covers Rose's reaction to the Doctors regeneration. Well worth the watch.
Its worth pointing out there is a 5 min special that slots in between this and the next episode, it's available on you tube. Also, don't get your hopes up for loads of new doctor in the next episode. Casting a new doctor was quite last min, I think alot of time went into developing the new doctor. As a result he doesn't get much screen time. The story mostly focuses on rose dealing with him changing and him not quite being fully healed and ready for action.
Dah-lek. Single consonant rule extends the sound of the previous vowel. No 'R' needed. Trouble is that, although I was taught this in UK primary school in the 60s, it doesn't always work! Frustrating ain't it! I suspect Webster. When in doubt, always suspect Webster - and/or Johnson!
"So, new Doctor... I don't know how to feel about that." That is basically the theme for the Christmas special episode that comes next in the series. Rose needs to come to terms with having lost her companion but her companion still being there, with an entirely new appearance and persona. We, as an audience need to go through something similar ourselves. And the Doctor needs to get some idea of who his new regeneration even is. Russel T Davis really knew what he was doing. :)
I just found your channel with this episode. I'm not sure how... I was looking for Ren reactions. Oh, well -- I'm glad I'm here! (Ren is a musician/singer/songwriter God-like being. If you don't know him yet, you will soon.) Thanks -- I can't wait to see more. You'll love it -- including the new Doctor and most of the others (I love them all but not everyone does). Have fun!
Lol Al, welcome to the roller coaster.... we're only just click clacking up the first incline... don't worry, the wild ride is only just beginning my friend. 😎👍
That's always the reaction when The Doctor changes. Trust me, long term fans have been affected by it many, many, many times! Keep watching! It just gets better! You're entering what's called the Golden Age of Dr. Who!
There are so many episodes in the David Tennant years I can't wait for you to experience. So many new races as well. One in particular that'll make you think twice about closing your eyes. 😉
yeah its definately Dalek, also i always look forward to new people reacting to these episodes, its so fun, i think bad wolf is my second favorite storyline. The crack is probably my favorite... but no spoilers 🤣
-What Doctor Who episode are you watching? -The one where the daleks aren't dead and there's a new Doctor -Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
If you don't like emotional rollercoasters, then I would recommend getting off this ride that is Dr. Who, because it's only going to make you cry more the further in you go.
I always felt that the original plan was for Rose to leave and Lynda to become the new companion. But when Eccleston quit, RTD re-thought things and kept Rose on as she was part of the show's new popularity. Anyway - the show does get better from here though there are a few dud stories in the next series. The best is yet to come!!
Well, there at least a couple of things that the sonic screwdriver can't function with. Amd they are wood and anything that has been sealed with a "Deadlock".
I just subbed and I’m happy to take this journey with you this is a show that I’ve watched since the 70’s and it’s always been a great show to me (sci-fi nut) so strap in and hang on it’s gonna be fun 🤙🤙👍🏻👍🏻🤘🇺🇸🤠
Dalek is an anagram of the name of the people (Kaled) who developed them as a means of winning a thousand years war with their enemies the Thal, the full story can be found in the classic Dr Who story "The Origin of The Daleks", Sorry "Genesis of the Daleks" (Thanks Parker8752).
Hehe
"Uhhh, a new doctor??? I don't know how I feel about this."
We all experienced this emotion after each regeneration 😂
Congratulations on your 1st regeneration! Nobody ever knows how they feel at first because you're grieving the loss of a doctor, and the introduction of a new one. For those of us who've been through this, just enjoy the ride!
I remember Tom Baker regeneration and I was gutted. David Tennant is my favourite Doctor ever.

Christ! I forgot how frickin fantastic that season finale was! Thanks Beard!
I love David. I'm so glad that we have got there now. Life is going to get really good from here ❤
How to feel about that.... the joy that you saw Eccleston, but also the joy that you now get Tennant. Same Doctor, but different! ;-)
Thank you so much for putting part 1 and 2 together. It only gets better from here!
Eccleston brought back Dr Who to the UK after a long hiatus and he made the Dr again fun to watch. i think you will start to love Tenant's Dr he stays 3 seasons so got a few episodes of him to watch.
Little tip: Before watching the Christmas Special, yes, they count, which is called The Christmas Invasion, watch the Children in Need special that is set after this regeneration, which is called Born Again.

Basically all Time Lords have 13 lives, and to save themselves from death, they can use up a life. It's the same Doctor, but a different face.

To my knowledge there has been 16 different faces for The Doctor including Peter Cushing in 2 movies and John Hurt in 3 episodes as the 'War Doctor'. Christopher Eccleston's Doctor does refer to him when he said he was there at the 'Time War'.
TH-cam just recommend this to me so this is the first video of yours about Dr. Who I've seen.
Knowing what's coming for you. Oh wow, you are in for a wild ride if you continue to watch.
To clear up the pronunciation of "Dalek". It's pretty much pronounced as it's written, with emphasis on the "a", like Daalek. There's no r in either the spelling or pronunciation. For some reason a lot of people seem to get that wrong. Perhaps because English people tend not to pronounce "r" and it often sounds like "aa". As a life long Doctor Who fan (been watching since 1963), I'm really enjoying your reactions. Always great to see someone discovering it for the first time.
You're gonna love this new Doctor. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like him. Don't worry, you'll have fun with him.
David Tennant went on to define what it means to be Doctor Who for me - he’s the benchmark against all others are compared :)
Bold words. Not my favorite. By a long, long shot.
But I will always love Eccleston.
There's a few who don't like him, but he's the joint-favourite Doctor alongside Tom Baker for a reason.
There's one reactor who really didn't like him - WhyOhWhyPhi - so much so that he made a theory that the 10th Doctor wasn't really the Doctor, but an evil timelord instead.
And now you have the best Doctor since Tom Baker - David Tennant. And some of the best TV writing, not just Dr Who, ever. But not EVERY episode, obviously.
Just don't blink...
😂 Yeah, just watch out for the weeping angels.
@@andrewmccormack4295 and the two-parter before it - gobsmacking.
It's Tennant time!
Wow! Indeed... Welcome to Doctor Who and your first regeneration. It gets crazier. Great reaction, thank you.
A piece of useless trivia for you.
Jenna Russell who plays the floor manager (uncredited). In this episode of Dr Who. Also sang the Red Dwarf theme tune.
Yes a new version of the Doctor, who plays the role differently from Eccleston, but you will find he makes the role his own and will explore some storylines that will shed light on the Doctors life
Don't worry. You're going to love David Tennant as the Doctor.
The R is plain ignorance. It is Dalek 😂
Look at a Video of the "BBC Radiophonic Workshop" and how the Dr Who theme music was created!😊
I too didn't want Christopher Eccleston to leave so soon & wish he did a 2nd season but I understand why he left & it did set up the concept of regeneration for the New Whovians. As with the old regenerations it takes a bit to get used to the next Doctor but you will grow to love the new personality (normally about the time they change him again lol) but the show does pick up from here with some truly incredible stories that will leave you mind blown, broken hearted or begging for more. Enjoy the ride as much as I am enjoying your reactions & follow the Doctors lead - The best way to fix a problem, is step right up & fix it yourself.
A good thing to remmeber with doctor who is that what is in the background or insignificant is probably more important than the story at hand .
Eccleston has grown on me as a doctor, but the best is yet to come. It's hard to see each doctor go, I must admit!
Hi E.B., it was great to see you enjoy this two-parter as much as Whovians at the time. Yes, you will find Dr. Who is often am emotional roller coaster, so I hope you will continue to enjoy the ride !! We have to thank Christopher, along with the production team for doing such a good job of re-instating our beloved character.
It`s never easy to lose a Dr. you have enjoyed especially your first, but hopefully you will always find something you enjoy about the new incarnation.
The spin-off series is "Torchwood" which is an anagram of "Doctor Who"
So what is Bad Wolf an anagram of ?
@@highpath4776 Bad Wolf wasn't an anagram, Bad Wolf was a message scattered in space and time to tempt Rose back to the Game Station to save the Doctor. Bad Wolf was also the name of entity she became when she looked into the heart of the time vortex.
Big Brother of course ironically made by Endemol (End Them All ?) productions ! Android Robinson so much like a Dalek (did it wink though ?)
Terry Nation (Who held copyright over the Dalek name- assigned for use to the BBC and others) said he got the name from looking at a set of encloypedias, one volume of which covered the words DAL to LEK ( only problem is there is no know editions of any old EBs(sic) or chambers or whatever that had that subset (sometimes it was claimed it was telephone directories rather than encyclopedias, such is Who folklore made).
Great reaction , you picked up on a lot of threads and I'm glad you enjoyed it . This ending really cemented the new show with new and old viewers . Although it went against all narrative practice , introducing sweet Lynda as a ready made replacement actually made the thought Rose was dead believable .The Daleks were a well kept secret , even the papers didn't dare release spoilers . Dr Who is such a big part of so many childhoods and beyond here and bringing it back was a big responsibility , and I think the production was a Labour of love for many involved thankfully Russel T Davies and co. got it right . I hope you enjoyed it enough to continue your reviews of the show . It's very interesting to hear the thoughts of someone who's never seen it so well expressed .
If I recall - the design of the Daleks belongs to (dang, name escapes me…) and they were not sure they would get his agreement to use them in the show. But, I also recall there was a major “leak” that the Daleks would return with a cover of a TV guide showing the Doctor with a Dalek - which I’m trying to remember the story, it was supposed to be photo for the week after the reveal but someone decided it made a better cover without understanding the significance…something like that. Anyone remember the story better?
Terry Nation created the Daleks , I think it may have been the Radio Times , but as a Dalek had already featured in episode six it didn't necessarily mean they were in the finale.
@@DavidSmith-cx8dg terry nation! Of course. His name completely escaped me.
Congratulations you got to see a regeneration... mixes things up a bit
I don't know how far ahead you are but if you're releasing these as you film them there's a bonus mini episode set between this one and the next. It's called Born Again or Children in Need (the charity it was broadcast for) and it covers Rose's reaction to the Doctors regeneration. Well worth the watch.
Yup. Already recorded it.
Christmas special coming up! Don't make my mistake and fire up S2 directly.
Just to mention - you watch the minisode 'Born Again' that follows on from this - it's a 'deleted scene' filmed for charity.
“I don’t know how to feel about that.” You never do, not at first.
Good watch we often forget how good Eccleston & the first series was. All I will say is you’re in for a great ride… Allons-y!!! 😉
Its worth pointing out there is a 5 min special that slots in between this and the next episode, it's available on you tube.
Also, don't get your hopes up for loads of new doctor in the next episode. Casting a new doctor was quite last min, I think alot of time went into developing the new doctor. As a result he doesn't get much screen time. The story mostly focuses on rose dealing with him changing and him not quite being fully healed and ready for action.
Again harks back to Hartnell where the companions can have strong scenes written for them without the doctor being physically there
It's definitely DALEK, from their original KALED race!
If you want some definition it was explained in the original first Dalek story with William Hartnell or Genesis of the Daleks with Tom Baker!😊
The video title is the most accurate synopsis of an episode of TV ever written 😂
Oh boy what a rabbit hole you descended into. Enjoy the ride.
Dah-lek. Single consonant rule extends the sound of the previous vowel. No 'R' needed. Trouble is that, although I was taught this in UK primary school in the 60s, it doesn't always work! Frustrating ain't it! I suspect Webster. When in doubt, always suspect Webster - and/or Johnson!
"So, new Doctor... I don't know how to feel about that."
That is basically the theme for the Christmas special episode that comes next in the series. Rose needs to come to terms with having lost her companion but her companion still being there, with an entirely new appearance and persona. We, as an audience need to go through something similar ourselves. And the Doctor needs to get some idea of who his new regeneration even is.
Russel T Davis really knew what he was doing. :)
I just found your channel with this episode. I'm not sure how... I was looking for Ren reactions. Oh, well -- I'm glad I'm here! (Ren is a musician/singer/songwriter God-like being. If you don't know him yet, you will soon.) Thanks -- I can't wait to see more. You'll love it -- including the new Doctor and most of the others (I love them all but not everyone does). Have fun!
Some of the cast of Dr Who ready did the weakest link. Won by Camille Coduri who played Jackie Tyler, Rose's mum!
Lol Al, welcome to the roller coaster.... we're only just click clacking up the first incline... don't worry, the wild ride is only just beginning my friend.
😎👍
That's always the reaction when The Doctor changes. Trust me, long term fans have been affected by it many, many, many times!
Keep watching! It just gets better! You're entering what's called the Golden Age of Dr. Who!
There are so many episodes in the David Tennant years I can't wait for you to experience. So many new races as well. One in particular that'll make you think twice about closing your eyes. 😉
If you think the first series was a rollercoaster, there is so much more to come. You will definitely enjoy it.
Glad you are covering the Doctor...btw, I just have to ask, Is that fantastic backdrop from a desktop pic download?
I must admit I preferred Eccleston over Tennant.
Hard to imagine what it would be like not knowing 60 years of doctor who history.
Great reaction to the season finale. Amazing episodes. Looking forward to enjoying the next season with you.
Looking forward to you seeing the Christmas Invasion! 🎄🎄🎄
Don't worry because David is a brilliant 2nd Doctor ! xx
Tom Baker and David Tennant:
(The best Doctors)
🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧 🙂👍👍👍❤️
i concur
@@phtevenj 🙂👍👏
Opinion only! My fave doctors were Tom Baker & Matt Smith. There again i have followed the show since the 1970's. 🇬🇧
@@Paul-hl8yg 👍👍👍❤️
I 💯% agree.
yeah its definately Dalek, also i always look forward to new people reacting to these episodes, its so fun, i think bad wolf is my second favorite storyline. The crack is probably my favorite... but no spoilers 🤣
I love the crack me
This 'new doctor' is an actor from my hometown in Scotland and yes I am biased but I think he is the best!
-What Doctor Who episode are you watching?
-The one where the daleks aren't dead and there's a new Doctor
-Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
If you don't like emotional rollercoasters, then I would recommend getting off this ride that is Dr. Who, because it's only going to make you cry more the further in you go.
Da-lek is the pronunciation. It's nor 'Darlek' and if there is an 'r' sound in there, it should be almost imperceptible.
Quick bit of Whovian trivia for you David tennant the new 10th doctor is in real life married to the 5th doctor’s daughter
I always felt that the original plan was for Rose to leave and Lynda to become the new companion. But when Eccleston quit, RTD re-thought things and kept Rose on as she was part of the show's new popularity. Anyway - the show does get better from here though there are a few dud stories in the next series. The best is yet to come!!
Yup, welcome to our world!
One of us, One of us, One of us......
Well, there at least a couple of things that the sonic screwdriver can't function with. Amd they are wood and anything that has been sealed with a "Deadlock".
Its always like this when you get used to a Dr. Don`t worry, David Tennant was a brilliant Dr
I just subbed and I’m happy to take this journey with you this is a show that I’ve watched since the 70’s and it’s always been a great show to me (sci-fi nut) so strap in and hang on it’s gonna be fun 🤙🤙👍🏻👍🏻🤘🇺🇸🤠
Dalek is an anagram of the name of the people (Kaled) who developed them as a means of winning a thousand years war with their enemies the Thal, the full story can be found in the classic Dr Who story "The Origin of The Daleks", Sorry "Genesis of the Daleks" (Thanks Parker8752).
Isn't it Genesis of the Daleks?
@@Parker8752 Correct.
