I always thought Clara was a big step down from Amy and Rory but I still enjoyed her with the 11th Doctor. But then he regenerated and suddenly I was absolutely in love with her as a companion.

It definitely was more of a romantic love than with the Ponds, who I have always gotten the impression he always loved as family, never in a romantic way.

I think the struggle comes from most of River & the Doctor's relationship happened off-screen. Which I love because it leaves so much unsaid, but it can be difficult to follow.
The Doctor has literally been so head over heels in love w/ her since he met her as Eleven in The Snowmen. Turning into 12th just turned the relationship into old married vibes
Yeah i love 12 and Clara because they already have a deep compassionate mutually loving relationship, not in a romantic or lustful way like 11 and her kept talking like in a very cringey sort of teenager way. But 12 and Clara are meant for each other in heart and spirit, they supplement each other (more popular phrase would be they complete each other), and honestly like many long married couple this can sometimes be to an unhealthy toxic degree, and for them it ultimately becomes that, where they do anything for each other even if it means compromising their morals. But what I love is that this platonic love, something few shows are ever willing to show between man and woman.
My favorite couple in history with the possible exception of John Steed and Emma Peel. Clara was attracted to 11 but she loved 12. She's the only companion who really enjoyed the ride even if it killed her.
I really can't express how much joy I felt watching this video. I never realized the first time around that Twelve flirts with her just as much as Eleven did just in a different way. I just finished Series 9 btw, I have not fully recovered
I've found myself regularly revisiting this video so I think I should leave a comment which I rarely do (if I ever did). Love the fact you didn't include anything from Face the Raven onwards leaving only the wholesome bits because they're the only two characters that break me on an emotional level. (I want what these two have) It's difficult to wrap into words what I like about them. That may be because their relationship comes off as very natural and sincere. The "I can believe that" aspect is here. It feels alive. That's very hard to nail - write a relationship as natural as this. Props to the writers and the actors as well - their work is a success.
Clara is my favorite companion of New Who. Might be wrong, but I have the impression that a lot of fans who hate her, share Missy's impression that companions should not be more than pets to the Doctor. When Clara became the only human that could go toe to toe with the Doctor, they started bickering about Clara taking the spot away from the Doctor.
@KVAcedo27 The Doctor isn't the main character, at least not consistently throughout modern Doctor Who. Barring Tennant in series 3 and 4, the main character(s) are the companions- they have the capacity for growth, they are who the stories revolve around... the Doctor is the titular character, but they're more of a through-line supporting character to the companions. And it's always been this way- all the promotional material for series 1 focused on Rose, not 9. I think the real issue with Clara (who is one of my favorite companions) is that she stuck around just a bit too long. Until Yas, she had the longest tenure of a singular companion in the new series at 2.5 series (considering Amy and Rory were kind of a pair of companions). I honestly think that was the real issue- she stuck around too long with no one else to take the spotlight.
ok this is very weird for me, but the way 12 said "i'm sorry, but i'm exactly what you deserve" was hot. so hot that it caught me off guard and i ended up shooting coffee out of my nose
This is why Clara's my favorite companion. Nobody could do things like this with the Doctor. Not Rose, not Donna, not even Sarah Jane could do scenes like this with the Doctor. Yes, part of it's the writing, but one of the absolute best pairings in over 60 years of DW is #12 and Clara.
I actually have a book that goes into detail on what coffee Doctor got Clara. Spoiler alert: He got the strongest coffee in the universe on an intergalactic cafe, and accidentally got roped into a murder mystery.
While Capaldi's Doctor had problems in his first season with some bad scripts (kill the moon, we never talk about kill the moon), Clara levels it out masterfully. She's the best possible companion for Twelfth, and he knows it.
@@yunantheobserver6841 Kill The Moon is a great episode. It's popular to hate it but nobody ever gives a good reason. The worst thing about Kill The Moon is Peter Capaldi. However, Peter Capaldi should never have been cast as the 13th Doctor anyway (yes, he's 13, not 12), so this is a problem with Season 8 as a whole, not Kill The Moon on its own. They should have swapped him with John Hurt, who was a better Doctor in 1 episode than Peter Capaldi was in 1 and a half seasons. John Hurt had enough range to be either the 9th/War Doctor or the 13th Doctor but Peter Capaldi could only manage the War Doctor and we're in a universe where Steven Moffat chose him for the wrong incarnation.
@@tomnorton4277 I don't think I've ever seen an opinion so monumentally incorrect yet so simply and factually stated I had to do a double take and check that it was still in the same universe I remember. So congratulations on that, I suppose.
@@illuminati955 Surprise, surprise, you gave absolutely no evidence for why my assertion was wrong. Kill The Moon presented a situation where there's no definitively right or wrong answer. That shows respect for the audiences intelligence, which is something you almost never see these days. Complaining about the moon dragon being too big for the egg, which is something a lot of people have said, is no different from complaining that a police box is bigger on the inside. As for the abortion allegory, it's forcing people to confront the fact that abortion is no different from murdering children. An unborn child is still a child and as soon as it starts kicking, it's undeniably alive. The only reason killing it isn't completely morally abhorrent in this case is because it's one alien being weighed against the entire human race. The problem with Kill The Moon is that Peter Capaldi's supposed to be the same man who planned to destroy Gallifrey at the end of the Time War. Despite that, he looked CONFUSED about why Clara was angry when he forced her into a situation where the wrong choice could, as far as Clara knew, result in her destroying Earth. Not only did Peter Capaldi seem to forget that the Doctor knows better than anybody how it feels to destroy your home planet, but he acted like he expected Clara to be totally fine with him abandoning her for the second time. On paper, the Doctor's betraying Clara because he thinks it will help her get stronger. This is supposed to be a cruel to be kind situation. Great concept and John Hurt could have made it work by being understanding and delivering "That was me respecting you" without the shaky, confused and insincere tone that Peter Capaldi used. Capaldi said that line as though he had no idea that he had betrayed Clara in the first place and couldn't wrap his mind around the very simple concept that abandoning your friends is a bad thing. He made the Doctor look like an idiot at best and a sociopath at worst.
@@tomnorton4277Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor, and no, it doesn’t matter what you think, you don’t get to disagree, it is a FACT that his character is the 12th Doctor. You can have your opinions on whether or not he should’ve been cast (although I’d question why you came to a 12th doctor video just to whine about him) but you don’t get to claim you know better than the show and tell everyone else they’re wrong for considering him to be 12.
The Doctor: *has a time machine that can anywhere and anywhen in time and space and has defeated literal God's and accomplished an endless amount of impossible tasks* Clara: You couldn't afford me Know your worth everyone
She's also immortal until she goes back to face the Raven. Thanks to the echoes, Jenna Coleman could come back when she's 90 years old if she wanted to since we can assume that the echoes lived for varying lengths of time, with some dying young like Oswin and Victorian Clara and others living full lives. The real Clara won't age at all, similar to Ashildr and Jack Harkness (although Jack technically does age but EXTREMELY slowly). My biggest problem with Clara's echoes is how could the Doctor have not noticed them for 10 out of 13 lifetimes? At least John Hurt was Time Locked inside the Time War, which Clara's echoes couldn't access. None of the other Doctors have any excuse for being so blind.
@@tomnorton4277 I think the idea is she saves the doctor from the great intelligence, so her foiling their plans in any small way is enough and she doesn't even need to interact with the doctor
7:16 god their acting & chemistry was so on point, way underrated companion-doctor relationship, the way they completely sell their platonic love for each other is so great. No more cheesy romance or love interests. Just the deepest friendship, its very unique to see for a tv series tbf, I mean the age-difference does not even faze an audience member either when you think about it.
It’s the way literally 2/3 of this is all S8 because S9 was so emotionally damaging there was no room for their iconic banter that has me in tears😭😭 (half joking for an affect but seriously just thinking about their happy moments made me think about their sad and endearing moments) Side note: the handholding in Sleep No More (one of the last clips) is such an underrated moment. And I get because of the unique (for Doctor Who) perspective it’s not used a lot in edits but damn it’s such a good moment and I loved seeing it be in this. Should be used more in edits to compliment the handholding in Dark Water (Missy’s intro to them). First Clara needing the Doctor’s comfort at the end of S8 then the reverse near the end of S9.
10:38 i so don't know what to do with this moment lol. they're so special to me. they're so special to me also this moment is precious asf edit: i do also badly wish this was the rockstar-style concert venue that Steven Moffat so obviously had in mind, with Clara and Missy appearing in the stands, lol. this is literally the rockstar AU come alive, and set in the medieval times. BUT LOOK THE IDEA IS THERE AND CLEAR AND FOR THAT I OWE MOFFAT AND THE DW TEAM FOR MY JOY
Watching these scenes back proves what an amazing actor Jenna Coleman is. She is so good at her job plus i’ll never know how she manages to have chemistry with all of her partners
I love the terribly sorry part of that sentence so much. He knows what he is and the kind of life he leads and danger he ends up in. Despite his own knowledge that anyone who connects with him is likely to be doomed he still can’t stand the idea of being alone
These two had a hilarious friendship and really "got" one another. Plus, they often ended up completing the same one liners. "I'm his Carer"-Clara. "That's right! She cares, so I don't have too!"-The Doctor.
"You're not a young girl anymore" It may seem like he's teasing or mocking her (which is partly true) but later on you understand that he's incapable of perceiving Clara's age because he truly sees her as an equal and his moral consciousness. And that's beautiful.
I will never forget seeing her as the Dalek in her first appearance and wishing she’d be a companion - and being so disappointed when that episode ended. And being beyond ecstatic that christmas when she joined for real. Can’t believe that was a decade ago.
To anyone who denies the fact that Clara is The Doctor's soulmate, for no one else did The Doctor go to the lengths he did to save someone in Heaven Sent and Hell Bent.
It really is. Makes me tear up a bit. Her and 12s relationship is one of the best In doctor who. Between this and the I love you scene from mummy on the Orient express. My view of it is that she liked 11 maybe had a crush on him. But loved 12
I just watched the christmas special with these two and it made my 12clara heart extremely happy. You have no idea how many times I watch this video it’s literally my favorite
1:01 Ach 🤣 Also, while the Eleventh Doctor may have been more cheerful. I can tell that Clara had way more fun with the Twelfth Doctor. Actually, things became more funny when he came around. And the idea of Robbing a Bank. I can literally imagine any Doctor and any of their companions doing that.
Clara Oswald. Unorinically the best companion for the 11th and the 13th Doctors. As good as her chemistry was with Smith, its actually better with Capaldi.
Doctors 9,10 and 11 were fantastic and could do a great job with any random following along but Clara made this doctor more enjoyable they worked fantastic together
Can I say that I prefer 12th with Clara so much more than 11th with Clara? I mean, 11th and Clara were always flirty with each other and it was kinda cute and annoying at the same time (lol), but I feel that 12th and Clara had a much deeper relationship. Not as a couple or anything like that. I mean, they had the need for each other, the disputes, the betrayals, the toxicity and, specially, the love for each other. Clara at the start had to understand who the hell was this man she was dealing with, who was much more inaccessible than the incarnation before. And when he finally let her in, she dies by trying to connect with him, trying to act like him to save a friend. So he spends 4.5 billion years trying to break out his personal torture chamber while dealing with the grief of the loss of his best friend. 12th and Clara had a much deeper and, dare I say it, interesting relationship than 11th and Clara. Her stubborn personality, combined with his tough exterior but passionate heart made an incredible chemistry. She literally went from one of my least favorite companions to one of my favorites!!! (She can't beat Donna, though XD)
9:11 I DIED DEAD. My writer's mind had a huge rebellion with itself at the very second i heard that for the first time. Like, that phrase opened a whole new universe about the perception of love and what it represents and what it is capable of. AND I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY. LETS DEBATE

The Doctor has literally been so head over heels in love w/ her since he met her as Eleven in The Snowmen. Turning into 12th just turned the relationship into old married vibes
Yeah i love 12 and Clara because they already have a deep compassionate mutually loving relationship, not in a romantic or lustful way like 11 and her kept talking like in a very cringey sort of teenager way. But 12 and Clara are meant for each other in heart and spirit, they supplement each other (more popular phrase would be they complete each other), and honestly like many long married couple this can sometimes be to an unhealthy toxic degree, and for them it ultimately becomes that, where they do anything for each other even if it means compromising their morals. But what I love is that this platonic love, something few shows are ever willing to show between man and woman.
My favorite couple in history with the possible exception of John Steed and Emma Peel. Clara was attracted to 11 but she loved 12. She's the only companion who really enjoyed the ride even if it killed her.
Donna did too. It's a shame she and Ten didn't have more time. 😥
The only? Please tell me you’re kidding.
I really can't express how much joy I felt watching this video. I never realized the first time around that Twelve flirts with her just as much as Eleven did just in a different way. I just finished Series 9 btw, I have not fully recovered
I watched it a couple of years ago and haven't recovered either. Just wait for series ten...
9:11 easily the best quote from Capaldi's Doctor
I've found myself regularly revisiting this video so I think I should leave a comment which I rarely do (if I ever did). Love the fact you didn't include anything from Face the Raven onwards leaving only the wholesome bits because they're the only two characters that break me on an emotional level. (I want what these two have) It's difficult to wrap into words what I like about them. That may be because their relationship comes off as very natural and sincere. The "I can believe that" aspect is here. It feels alive. That's very hard to nail - write a relationship as natural as this. Props to the writers and the actors as well - their work is a success.
Why does Clara get so much hate, she's so good
Because after Flatline Clara became more important than The Doctor.
Clara is my favorite companion of New Who.
Might be wrong, but I have the impression that a lot of fans who hate her, share Missy's impression that companions should not be more than pets to the Doctor. When Clara became the only human that could go toe to toe with the Doctor, they started bickering about Clara taking the spot away from the Doctor.
I like Clara but I still think dona was the best companion
She doubted the Doctor. That's enough reason for me to not like her.
@KVAcedo27 The Doctor isn't the main character, at least not consistently throughout modern Doctor Who. Barring Tennant in series 3 and 4, the main character(s) are the companions- they have the capacity for growth, they are who the stories revolve around... the Doctor is the titular character, but they're more of a through-line supporting character to the companions. And it's always been this way- all the promotional material for series 1 focused on Rose, not 9.
I think the real issue with Clara (who is one of my favorite companions) is that she stuck around just a bit too long. Until Yas, she had the longest tenure of a singular companion in the new series at 2.5 series (considering Amy and Rory were kind of a pair of companions). I honestly think that was the real issue- she stuck around too long with no one else to take the spotlight.
I miss being as obsessed with them as I was all these years ago
oof, they're not a source of serotonin as such, they're just really compelling
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!😭🥺
Hah same, I want to find that level of energy again
ok this is very weird for me, but the way 12 said "i'm sorry, but i'm exactly what you deserve" was hot.
so hot that it caught me off guard and i ended up shooting coffee out of my nose
I like how Clara is the one normal companion who essentially is as close with the tardis as the doctor
Exactly! I adore it so much!
One of my favorite lines : "yeah , she's my carer ; she cares so I don't have to "
"She is my Clara. She cares so I don't have to" is still one of my favorite lines
i love how missy is smiling until she realizes the doctor is playing pretty woman for clara
My headcanon is that The Doctor was playing Pretty woman for both Clara and Missy. His two favourite women.
actually he was playing pretty woman for river who was still mentally imprinted from the 11 funny timey wimey stream thing
@@Name-fo7ljIt was for Clara, even in the transcript it says when he looks at clara, he starts playing pretty women. It wasn’t for river

@@Jimmy911ism I have no idea

When she yelled SHUUUUT UUUUUP 😂😂😂
This is why Clara's my favorite companion. Nobody could do things like this with the Doctor. Not Rose, not Donna, not even Sarah Jane could do scenes like this with the Doctor. Yes, part of it's the writing, but one of the absolute best pairings in over 60 years of DW is #12 and Clara.
i find it funny that you included the scene of 12 saying he was sent for coffee then captioned it clara sipping tea anyway
Look I never said I was smart-
@@beetlegraves8966 nah " *sips coffee* " dont got tha same ring 2 it as " *sips tea* " u did right 😁💯
But consider: The Doctor got her coffee and she decides to drink his tea instead because he's weeks late.
I actually have a book that goes into detail on what coffee Doctor got Clara.
Spoiler alert: He got the strongest coffee in the universe on an intergalactic cafe, and accidentally got roped into a murder mystery.
While Capaldi's Doctor had problems in his first season with some bad scripts (kill the moon, we never talk about kill the moon), Clara levels it out masterfully. She's the best possible companion for Twelfth, and he knows it.
To me personally, the worst episode for me is the forest one. The one where london suddenly becomes a forest. But yeah, kill the moon is a strong 2nd.
@@yunantheobserver6841 Kill The Moon is a great episode. It's popular to hate it but nobody ever gives a good reason.
The worst thing about Kill The Moon is Peter Capaldi. However, Peter Capaldi should never have been cast as the 13th Doctor anyway (yes, he's 13, not 12), so this is a problem with Season 8 as a whole, not Kill The Moon on its own. They should have swapped him with John Hurt, who was a better Doctor in 1 episode than Peter Capaldi was in 1 and a half seasons. John Hurt had enough range to be either the 9th/War Doctor or the 13th Doctor but Peter Capaldi could only manage the War Doctor and we're in a universe where Steven Moffat chose him for the wrong incarnation.
@@tomnorton4277 I don't think I've ever seen an opinion so monumentally incorrect yet so simply and factually stated I had to do a double take and check that it was still in the same universe I remember. So congratulations on that, I suppose.
@@illuminati955 Surprise, surprise, you gave absolutely no evidence for why my assertion was wrong.
Kill The Moon presented a situation where there's no definitively right or wrong answer. That shows respect for the audiences intelligence, which is something you almost never see these days.
Complaining about the moon dragon being too big for the egg, which is something a lot of people have said, is no different from complaining that a police box is bigger on the inside. As for the abortion allegory, it's forcing people to confront the fact that abortion is no different from murdering children. An unborn child is still a child and as soon as it starts kicking, it's undeniably alive. The only reason killing it isn't completely morally abhorrent in this case is because it's one alien being weighed against the entire human race.
The problem with Kill The Moon is that Peter Capaldi's supposed to be the same man who planned to destroy Gallifrey at the end of the Time War. Despite that, he looked CONFUSED about why Clara was angry when he forced her into a situation where the wrong choice could, as far as Clara knew, result in her destroying Earth. Not only did Peter Capaldi seem to forget that the Doctor knows better than anybody how it feels to destroy your home planet, but he acted like he expected Clara to be totally fine with him abandoning her for the second time.
On paper, the Doctor's betraying Clara because he thinks it will help her get stronger. This is supposed to be a cruel to be kind situation. Great concept and John Hurt could have made it work by being understanding and delivering "That was me respecting you" without the shaky, confused and insincere tone that Peter Capaldi used. Capaldi said that line as though he had no idea that he had betrayed Clara in the first place and couldn't wrap his mind around the very simple concept that abandoning your friends is a bad thing. He made the Doctor look like an idiot at best and a sociopath at worst.
@@tomnorton4277Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor, and no, it doesn’t matter what you think, you don’t get to disagree, it is a FACT that his character is the 12th Doctor.
You can have your opinions on whether or not he should’ve been cast (although I’d question why you came to a 12th doctor video just to whine about him) but you don’t get to claim you know better than the show and tell everyone else they’re wrong for considering him to be 12.
Despite not having any super outright romance, 12 and Clara do somehow end up acting the most married lmao
I mean they were in love
The Doctor: *has a time machine that can anywhere and anywhen in time and space and has defeated literal God's and accomplished an endless amount of impossible tasks*
Clara: You couldn't afford me
Know your worth everyone
12:41 Love how he's flattered/hurt by that flirt. Anyone else need more proof they are in love
clara saying "the sandmen" and then jenna being in "the sandman" as johanna constantine oh i do love manifestation
Of all the companions, Clara is the one who literally has multiples. She can always return.
She's also immortal until she goes back to face the Raven. Thanks to the echoes, Jenna Coleman could come back when she's 90 years old if she wanted to since we can assume that the echoes lived for varying lengths of time, with some dying young like Oswin and Victorian Clara and others living full lives. The real Clara won't age at all, similar to Ashildr and Jack Harkness (although Jack technically does age but EXTREMELY slowly).
My biggest problem with Clara's echoes is how could the Doctor have not noticed them for 10 out of 13 lifetimes? At least John Hurt was Time Locked inside the Time War, which Clara's echoes couldn't access. None of the other Doctors have any excuse for being so blind.
@@tomnorton4277 I think the idea is she saves the doctor from the great intelligence, so her foiling their plans in any small way is enough and she doesn't even need to interact with the doctor
7:16 god their acting & chemistry was so on point, way underrated companion-doctor relationship, the way they completely sell their platonic love for each other is so great. No more cheesy romance or love interests. Just the deepest friendship, its very unique to see for a tv series tbf, I mean the age-difference does not even faze an audience member either when you think about it.
They have a romance, but a romance of things unsaid. This was the intention of the writers and actors.
"When did you start believing in impossible heroes?"
"Don't you know?"
Love that moment.
Clara as a companion and a complex character and a human was just impossibly perfect.
Nothing can match the dynamics between these two! Love them!
Doctor: I'll see you when I see you.
Clara: When's that?
Doctor: When I see you.

NEVER AGAIN
@@strigonshitposting793 Yeah watched it for the second time last week. Still hurts.
I absolutely LOVED 12's dynamic with Clara. Hard to say which pairing was more fun to watch, 12 and Clara or 11 and River.
"You're not my boss; you're one of my hobbies." 😂
I love how competitive 12 is, it's so childish it's endearing
"When do I not see you..." - Still hits hard... :_)
4:40 THE LITTLE GIGGLE CLARA MAKES WHEN SHES HUGGING HIM AAAAAAAAAA
these two had a great chemistry!
It’s the way literally 2/3 of this is all S8 because S9 was so emotionally damaging there was no room for their iconic banter that has me in tears😭😭 (half joking for an affect but seriously just thinking about their happy moments made me think about their sad and endearing moments)
Side note: the handholding in Sleep No More (one of the last clips) is such an underrated moment. And I get because of the unique (for Doctor Who) perspective it’s not used a lot in edits but damn it’s such a good moment and I loved seeing it be in this. Should be used more in edits to compliment the handholding in Dark Water (Missy’s intro to them). First Clara needing the Doctor’s comfort at the end of S8 then the reverse near the end of S9.

10:38 i so don't know what to do with this moment lol. they're so special to me. they're so special to me also this moment is precious asf
edit: i do also badly wish this was the rockstar-style concert venue that Steven Moffat so obviously had in mind, with Clara and Missy appearing in the stands, lol. this is literally the rockstar AU come alive, and set in the medieval times. BUT LOOK THE IDEA IS THERE AND CLEAR AND FOR THAT I OWE MOFFAT AND THE DW TEAM FOR MY JOY
Watching these scenes back proves what an amazing actor Jenna Coleman is. She is so good at her job plus i’ll never know how she manages to have chemistry with all of her partners
"There was a crowd too?"
That's top Doctor in love.
"I don't deserve a friend like you."
"Clara, I'm terribly sorry, but I'm exactly what you deserve."
I love the terribly sorry part of that sentence so much. He knows what he is and the kind of life he leads and danger he ends up in. Despite his own knowledge that anyone who connects with him is likely to be doomed he still can’t stand the idea of being alone
They had one of the best Doctor/companion dynamics.
"My carer. She cares so I don't have to." -Doctor Malcolm Tucker 😂
These two had a hilarious friendship and really "got" one another. Plus, they often ended up completing the same one liners. "I'm his Carer"-Clara. "That's right! She cares, so I don't have too!"-The Doctor.
"You're not a young girl anymore"
It may seem like he's teasing or mocking her (which is partly true) but later on you understand that he's incapable of perceiving Clara's age because he truly sees her as an equal and his moral consciousness. And that's beautiful.
I swear, I love the chemistry between Clara and 12.
I will never forget seeing her as the Dalek in her first appearance and wishing she’d be a companion - and being so disappointed when that episode ended. And being beyond ecstatic that christmas when she joined for real.
Can’t believe that was a decade ago.
To anyone who denies the fact that Clara is The Doctor's soulmate, for no one else did The Doctor go to the lengths he did to save someone in Heaven Sent and Hell Bent.
Going so far as to break the laws of space and time and shooting a fellow Time Lord 😂😂
14:03 is just such a beautiful moment
It really is. Makes me tear up a bit. Her and 12s relationship is one of the best In doctor who. Between this and the I love you scene from mummy on the Orient express. My view of it is that she liked 11 maybe had a crush on him. But loved 12
@Mr7Reality that's what I meant I think she fancied 11 but fell in love with 12.
@Mr7Reality oh apologies. Thankyou
What episode is it?
@@jm5887i would do the same if i was Clara tbh
When I saw the title of this clip the first thing that came to mind is - "she's my carer, she cares so I don't have to." 🤣🤣🤣
id just like to mention i watch this video almost every night to sleep I love it. i also love all your other videos
i've already watched it a while ago, but i came back to see it again because i miss them so so much. thank you for making this❤
It's clips like these that I remember how much I miss Clara in the show
Never realized how much I missed Clara and 12 til now.
I love how much of a Male-wife 12 is with Clara.
In my mind their best exchange is at 0:35 by far. It gets me everytime.
"Oooo, yes, and a punch in the face too..." He's learning!
I just watched the christmas special with these two and it made my 12clara heart extremely happy. You have no idea how many times I watch this video it’s literally my favorite
They were such a good duo, I need to rewatch series 8. It's been almost a decade since I saw it.
Professor Snape: Oh listen to the two of you, quarreling like an old married couple
Peter Capaldi got to play the Doctor and spend more than half of that time flirting with Jenna Coleman. No luckier man on the planet, I don't think.
and he got River to introduce him to the TARDIS interior
Not me crying at the third to last scene, such a sweet moment 😭
I need a Clara Oswald in my life. My god, that woman can wear a dress.
1:01 Ach 🤣 Also, while the Eleventh Doctor may have been more cheerful. I can tell that Clara had way more fun with the Twelfth Doctor. Actually, things became more funny when he came around. And the idea of Robbing a Bank. I can literally imagine any Doctor and any of their companions doing that.
Clara Oswald. Unorinically the best companion for the 11th and the 13th Doctors. As good as her chemistry was with Smith, its actually better with Capaldi.
Doctors 9,10 and 11 were fantastic and could do a great job with any random following along but Clara made this doctor more enjoyable they worked fantastic together
the way he delivered "robbing a whoooole bank" plus your caption really sent me
Can I say that I prefer 12th with Clara so much more than 11th with Clara? I mean, 11th and Clara were always flirty with each other and it was kinda cute and annoying at the same time (lol), but I feel that 12th and Clara had a much deeper relationship. Not as a couple or anything like that. I mean, they had the need for each other, the disputes, the betrayals, the toxicity and, specially, the love for each other.
Clara at the start had to understand who the hell was this man she was dealing with, who was much more inaccessible than the incarnation before. And when he finally let her in, she dies by trying to connect with him, trying to act like him to save a friend. So he spends 4.5 billion years trying to break out his personal torture chamber while dealing with the grief of the loss of his best friend.
12th and Clara had a much deeper and, dare I say it, interesting relationship than 11th and Clara. Her stubborn personality, combined with his tough exterior but passionate heart made an incredible chemistry. She literally went from one of my least favorite companions to one of my favorites!!! (She can't beat Donna, though XD)
4:29 the double look killed me
