6:18. Another little detail I love is that it changed from ‘orders from Mr Saxon, fire’. To simply ‘fire’. As there is no Mr Saxon in this timeline the Doctor never survived to release him in utopia
I also love how in that episode, the Augar doesn't hesitate to say "Gallifrey" to the Doctor because the Pyrovilies would know of the Time Lords. Still, the Augar hesitates with Donna because not only is she out of her time, but her home, London, was known back then as "Londinium." Hence, the Pyroviles had to scan the whole timeline in the span of that hesitation & The History to find this episode's timeline to draw their information on.
I love that they mention the Beetle thing is one of the Trickster's brigade. Just a little Sarah Jane reference thrown in for the people who know The performances in this episode are brilliant. Bernard Cribbins breaking our hearts. The fortune teller was Chan Tho back in Utopia. This obviously was filmed alongside Midnight pretty much, giving both Catherine Tate and David Tennant real chances to shine
Yes, they used to do these double banking episodes (like "Love and Monsters" and "Blink") to film two at once and help with the production schedule. This is the first time they split the Doctor and companion up and had them each have their own to accomplish this, and it led to two brilliant episodes.
Same. When i think of this episode that scene is the first thing that comes to mind after the initial excitement at getting to see Wilf/ Bernard Cribbins again
14:45 I think Jacqui Kings performance here is just amazing, Sylvia at her lowest low. It’s is such an honest depiction of depression I’ve seen in any programme it really strikes a chord. I don’t think she’s being mean to Donna specifically, she’s just lost the will to bother caring about anything.
dont know if you've noticed it yet, but "there is something on your back" was said for the first time in the Pompeii episode when the old guy was seer-ing at Doctor-Donna
@@BinkyProductions Yes, but also casual nerd seems to do channel member first thing, so by the time this video gets viewable to most, he has likely already watched some episodes ahead.
@Sure_Ruse_User this is correct! I am is usually at least 8 weeks ahead. In this instance I just finished end of time and am about to start series 5 :)
22:05 CLASSIC WHO CALL BACK - THE CLOISTER BELL : The TARDIS can sense its lifespan to some extent. When it senses imminent destruction in its own future or destruction of the universe itself, The Cloister Bell starts ringing. It does not do it often. Major Alien invasions do not cut it. Only real danger to the the fabric of space and time as a whole set it off.
random thought, but you know how in Back to the Future... when Doc's putting the cables together on the clocktower and it unplugs at the bottom end and Christopher Lloyd does the AMAZING scream? That's what I imagine the TARDIS doing I hate how my brain works :')
The way Wilfred Mott talks about the war hit's deep when you realise the actor who played him, Bernard Cribbins was talking about his actual experiences during the war in those scenes. Best character in DW by a long shot
I actually think this is the darkest episode in the entire modern run of Doctor Who. Just the sheer scale of how everything gets progressively worse without Donna even knowing where to start fighting it, killing off every single supporting protagonist within reach starting with the children, and then managing to get the "labour camps" scene on top of that. Nothing's ever really surpassed it in terms of being heavy.
May say this is their fav season of modern Who and fav Doctor/Companion combo and by now you can see why. For Me this is one of the 'Golden Runs ' the show sometimes hits.
FWIW I think that it was the Tardis changing everything around them to read Bad Wolf as they were on an alien planet so the language translation software overwrote everything in the immediate vicinity to immediately put the Doctor on red alert that something MAJOR was about to go down. The Tardis and Rose are so interconnected via her staring into its heart that I think it immediately fed off Rose’s message to Donna which is why it was also red on the inside.
This may be one of my favorite season 4 episodes. It really sums up why I love and relate to Donna, as you get a deeper view into how she sees herself and why she is always shouting at the world. I grew up feeling useless too, overshadowed by highly successful siblings, always feeling like a failure. I developed a disguise of being strong, aggressive, and invulnerable to try to protect my heart. Sadly, the Doctor never came to teach me that I was special, but Donna's story really hits my soul very deeply.
@@judithstrachan9399 Thanks, but I'm actually good. I remind myself every day that I'm special, and I do my best every day to be kind at every opportunity. I want whatever echo I leave behind when I'm gone to be a positive one. I'm (in general) happy. :)
Catherine Tate's performance in this episode is INCREDIBLE. She killed this episode, seriously. That whole scene with her and Rose using the Tardis to travel back in time - it's just chilling how good she is in that scene. And that ending with the Doctor realizing Donna was talking about Rose, and the whole Bad Wolf thing, mannnnn. RTD (and company) certainly set up the finale well in S4 that's for sure.
Cribbins was already the UK's TV Granddad for more than one generation, Im not the first to grow up with his voice. So getting into the show now cements that even more. When he gets upset, we all get upset!!
I didn't even know that Cribbins voiced the Wombles til I was IMDB'ing him after seeing him in Doctor Who... (Nor did I realise it was him in the Dalek Invasion of Earth movie!)
And breathe.... What an episode. How can this series keep delivering bangers? and yet it does. The feels, the acting, the music. In my top three of all time. I've watched this episode and reactions to it maybe 100 times and yet I still sweat every time. Why did this series ever have to end! Arrrgh! Great reaction by the way Chris.
Remember when Rose absorbed the Time Vortex, she said something about... "seeing all of time and space" so it would make sense that when she was "The Bad Wolf" she would put the words exactly where they needed to be through out all of time and space.
I had dipped out of your reviews a while back (sorry, got busy), but I came back for this one. Such a great episode, and I loved your unfiltered reactions. Thanks for this.
Did you notice that the beetle on Donna's back was called "one of the Trickster's Brigade"? Looks like the Trickster found the Doctor after all, just like he/she/they/it said at the end of "Whatever happened to Sarah Jane?".
I’m not sure if someone has already mentioned this to you, but the “doctor-lite” episodes come from a production standpoint, as during the first few seasons there was no other way for filming to be completed in the time allotted. “Doctor-lite” episodes also include Father’s Day in season 1, Love and Monsters in season 2, Blink in season 3, in addition to this one and a few in the future that I won’t mention. There are also “companion-lite” episodes, for the same purposes, sometimes combined with the doctor-lite episodes, like Blink, and sometimes separate, like Midnight. I just think it’s really interesting how some of the best writing (in my opinion) can come from logistical issues!
Though Blink was the first time - and only until the newest season - where a outside character was the main focus. Personally one of my favourite episodes.
Yes, like old movies that had to be more clever because of censorship. Not that I'm for censorship, but sometimes placing restraints on ourselves can yield great results too.
Thanks for a magnificent reaction to one of my favourite episodes ever. These last four episodes, the library ones, the Midnight ine and Turn left; what a fantastic row of shows. 🎉
just gotta love Donna, every companion really are such badasses. Donna was the first companion i really felt a strong connection with, i related to everything she was going through. my mom wasn't the negative though, it was my inner voice.
Something this episode does that is a little detail thats missed is because Donna was there in the runaway bride events that means long term the master never becomes prime minister since he'd be stuck at the end of the universe so i wonder if anyone takes over from Harriet Jones or she stays as prime minister. Also the lady who plays the fortune teller also played Chan-Tho in Series 3
Fun fact: the first hint outside of Donna's life, as to how the timeline changed is just before we learn the Doctor is dead; the tank that shoots down the Racnoss, we don't hear the radio broadcast saying that it was orders from Mr Saxon; because with the Doctor dead, the Master never returned and died at the end of the universe. That the Thames was still drained in the Turn Left timeline suggests to me that the Master restored it, either for publicity, or just because he had to hang around london for his political career and it was inconveniencing him.
Right I know this way early to say but...if you don't want to see names after the intro and the intro of the 50th anniversary doctor who when you reach it , you want to get somebody to edit them out for you because, just a little way early pre warning for you lol
Great episode! I respect you closing your eyes to avoid seeing who is in the show. I also like the surprise of finding out at the appropriate time in the story.
The fortune teller is an actress you've seen before. She was the assistant to Doctor Yana - Chantho.* * Probably spelled that wrong but you know who I mean - the bug chick - when Derek Jacobi turned into John Sim.
This is probably my 2nd favourite story this season, with the previous two-parter with River Song coming at 1st. This was also the episode I was referring to in my comment on _Forest of the Dead_ , where I said Catherine Tate's acting really stood out. That she, along with Billie Piper, Bernard Cribbins, and a gripping story, could turn a Doctor-lite episode into one of the best of the season deserves considerable respect.
This episode wrecks me every single time. Billie Piper is phenomenal, as is David Tennant when the Doctor asks Donna what the woman's name was. It should be impossible but he just KNOWS it's Rose, and Tennant shows that all with his face.
If you liked this, Russel t Davies (who wrote this) made a brilliant TV show called years and years which is like this but with the doctor who elements removed
Good call! Brilliant show - so real you can see it happening around you (especially in the UK post-Brexit). I may have to give it a re-watch. Thank you!
I was looking forward to your review of this one, Chris. Not just because it's a stunning episode, but because you'd speculated about what would happen if the Trickster could remove the Doctor from existence while you were watching the SJA story 'Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane'. For me, 'Turn Left' is one of the absolute best episodes of New Who along with 'Blink' and a handful of others. Top tier writing and acting that brilliantly sets up the finale.
Oh man, I am so glad to have found your channel! Loved this reaction. Gonna go back and see the playlisit from the start! As a Doctor Who fan from the 2000s I am so glad people are discovering this TV program :)
@@CasualNerdReactions Thanks! Finally got to this point again, so re-watching. I've just seen your S5 playlist pop up so looking forward to starting that! :)
Great reaction. Good call that this would be a Donna-heavy Doctor-lite episode. Rose really reminds me of Sarah Jane in this episode. Chipo Chung (the fortune teller) also played Chantho, Professor Yana's assistant/companion, in "Utopia."
I was about to say there was no Bad Wolf reference in Series 3, I'd forgotten about the Bad Wolf in kanji poster from "Gridlock". That's got to be the most obscure Bad Wolf in the show (well, if you don't know how to read kanji, anyway).
probably already gone over but rose did meet donna in the past maybe not the same way but she met her when she decided to go with the doctor so who knows how long she was peeping in prior to that...
I remember when I first watched this, thinking with horror that it may be a clip show! But of course no, it isn't. Whilst it is Doctor-lite, it's quite brilliantly put together, showing a world without the Doctor, and how important Donna is to the universe. :)
This is such a good episode, although in the worst timeline. It really shows how much the Doctor does for the universe. All the acting is spot on, too.
wow. this hits different on a 2nd watch. buckle up yall. WHY DID I CRY WITH YOU DAMNIT? so excited at future guest stars (all seasons, not a spoiler for this finale) and your reaction
I imagine you've already watched the season finale by the time this video went up, so I hope someone told you it's OK to watch the finale opening credits. Nothing is spoiled by that point, and it's kind of awesome to see. Love your reactions. Such fun.
I definitely did with eyes wide open, because after that intro I figured there couldn't possibly be any other surprises. Such an exciting start to the story!
YES, Rose manages to say "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" in EXACTLY the same tone as the Doctor. It's uncanny.
billie piper is my favourite in the whole wide world
River also does this, it's a great way of demonstrating when a character is closer to the Doctors perspective relative to other people
Omg that's so true, she is so good at this
The Trickster in SJA:
"Imagine...if the Doctor had never existed, what chaos there would be...across the stars...."
And then he sends one of his brigade to do the job!
6:18. Another little detail I love is that it changed from ‘orders from Mr Saxon, fire’. To simply ‘fire’. As there is no Mr Saxon in this timeline the Doctor never survived to release him in utopia
As many times as I’ve watched this, I never caught onto that fact.
Neither did I.
GOOD pickup!
"And you daughter of London... there is something on your back!"
Yes
That Line is so awesome on a rewatch :)
@@Luzarioth It really is it hits different with added context.

The "Labour camps" scene gets me every time, especially the tears in Wilf's eyes
That scene haunts me. I think about it a lot. :'(
I never, ever imagined that the world could go back to such a dark place. Never.
But now..?
Same. When i think of this episode that scene is the first thing that comes to mind after the initial excitement at getting to see Wilf/ Bernard Cribbins again

@@robmartin525 Great Scott!
I'm glad they haven't over-used the Cloister Bell. It's such a SCREAM from the TARDIS... overusing it would make it meaningless.
It gave me chills to hear the cloister bell in this episode when I first saw it as an old Whovian!
I’m so glad you are on the Donna wagon. She really shows the best of humanity, with self doubt and humility.
The way Wilfred Mott talks about the war hit's deep when you realise the actor who played him, Bernard Cribbins was talking about his actual experiences during the war in those scenes. Best character in DW by a long shot
That really makes a difference. So well done.
No, it’s not. Bernard Cribbins enlisted in 1947, he was never in the war - as a soldier at least.
I actually think this is the darkest episode in the entire modern run of Doctor Who.

"The darkness" was first mentioned by Gwyneth way back in the Charles Dicken's episode
"The things you see, the darkness ... the big bad wolf."
The music building before the big reveal gives me shivers every time. Incredible
May say this is their fav season of modern Who and fav Doctor/Companion combo and by now you can see why. For Me this is one of the 'Golden Runs ' the show sometimes hits.

Chipo Chung (the fortune teller) also played Chantho, Professor Yana's assistant/companion, in "Utopia."

Donna is an acquired taste, which we'd all gotten to enjoy by this point in time.
"Bad Wolf" has appeared in every series so far.
