“Mom, why do all of dad’s stories end with him dying?”
“It happened a lot sweetie, it happened a lot”
"AMYYYYY! I nearly died, again"
@@craytherlaygaming2852 😂😂
OMG! You killed Rory! You BASTARD!!!
LMFAO
It does make you wonder whether Amy wrote that into the Melody Malone books. A love interest who keeps dying in every book, but somehow comes back in the next one seems like the kind of side plot that would make a mystery novel quite interesting.
Rory never gets or got the credit he deserved, he was such a unique companion. He wasn’t enamored with the Doctor, he was just there for Amy. He grew as a self doubting nerd into a hero, way better than any that’s since followed.
The Superior SpyderDan Amy and Rory are my favorite part of the 11th Doctor time. Love this video
@@scrappy00001 mine too honestly. Their story was always just as significant as the main plot
That part of the series wouldn't have been the same without him. I think they would have realized it and tried to "fix" it somehow like with a different character or something.
BagdadBill, I disagree because no Rory means no Amy.
True
Two minutes and twenty four seconds of Arthur Darvill effortless slipping back into the role with such understatement that it nearly brought me to tears.
a webcam vid is better than the last few years of Doctor Who... *sigh.
@@Paulafan5 it's so sad that it is true
Seriously. I saw him a bit in the meantime on Legends of Tomorrow but he got this realistic and believable and really well-nuanced in a single take. Arthur crushed it. Like you said, understated, enough that it's more of a show of force of talent than something super splashy =)
I literally cried. God I miss Rory and Amy. Still, after all this time, you ask? Always. 💙🏞️
waddaya mean, "nearly"?! ;-/
Proud that Rory was able to keep his phone from dying for 8 years
They could probs charge it cuz they did have electricity back the
It might have been some doctor tinkering before the whole going back in time thing. I imagine the TARDIS doesn't have wall outlets.
USB-Z perhaps? Or would that be "Zed"? 😁
I totally agree that the Doctor did something to the smartphone. Maybe the battery is bigger on the inside?
He couldn’t even keep himself from dying for that long!
I imagine river popped in and was like ‘new powerbank?’
The moment when you realize they actually gone for 8 years.
I did not come here to feel
YET HIS PHONE IS STILL CHARGED HMMMM!?!?!?!?!?/!
@@ATOMiiCChicken Maybe Doctor updates his battery or he brings a charger anytime
@@tik.t443 HOW CAN HE PLUG IT IN IN 1938
the PORTABLE charger
Rory died. A lot.
But he kept getting better.
Thank goodness.
He died for the one he loved the most! That's what I really love about him!
brilliant!
The last time I see he died, he turn into a captain of a time traveling ship and he died again.
RORYS PHONE SHOULD HAVE DIED CUZ 8 YEARS AND NO CHARGER
@@ATOMiiCChicken or would it?
Can we also appreciate the fact that, considering this was shot from home, Arthur did his own hair to recreate his Rory look. He did a very good job.
And he dressed in ‘older’ looking clothes!

Took me a second to figure out the timeline lmao

Neil Gaiman needs to be showrunner asap
That would be a dream come true. Sadly I do not think he got the time. There are so many books that man want to write.
He would not want the shit that will get thrown his way
With Michael Sheen as the Doctor!
I agree he'd make a good showrunner, but to quote the man himself: "I tend to laugh when people say “Would you like to be the next showrunner after Moffat?” I don’t even have time to write an episode! You want me to be showrunner? Nothing else will happen in my entire life!"
Please God Yes.
Rory and Amy continue to be my favourite companions.
The fact that Arthur has this in him after so many years, Rory’s ability to be the sane man in a mad world and approach the absurd with a human acceptance. And how he doesn’t try to phrase this as a story or a fantasy. He treats them like loved memories.
Thank you, Everyone who made this.
Xx
what made doc no11 amy and rorys relationship unique compared to alot of ten and nines era was that
they were a family as in a true family amy and rory where married and river wa their daughter making the doctor their son in law and it sadly all ended in tradegy and loneleness
amy had to live for another 8 years after rory died then she died alone
river died in the libary looking into the face of the man she loved who didn't even know who she was
and the doctor "died" alone on trenzalore.
Gaiman would have done a better job of sending Rory and Amy off then...sigh
Rory's changed a lot since his adventures with The Doctor ended. He's changed from a dopey young man to a more mature husband and father.
@@danielwilliamson6180 well, it's not like he wasn't in some ways like that when they travelled with the Doctor. He was more responsible than Amy, more emotionally open, he definitely wasn't immature
@@michaelkean5969 And then the whole Dr. Who concept died last year, thanks to the PC luvvies in the BBC.
Rory has always been the male role model the world needs.
Definitely!!! If I ever got to meet him one day, I would thank him for coming into the world and being the best companion I have ever to fall in love with! 😍💕
And Amy the goddess of all
I say the same. He IS my role model. And appart from having Amy, but the way he took all the crazyness with naturality. Even without any clue of what was happening, he went along with the Doctor and Amy. And he was brave, and smart.
He doesn’t have toxic masculinity, he’s sweet, he’s a dork, he loves unconditionally... he’s basically my type
"I'm the pretty one" omg eight years later and still bitter
How did he upload it to TH-cam?
@@happysoul5563 He didn't dumbass
@@happysoul5563 kid did like way later after he died
@@manty_monster how does he charge it?
@@happysoul5563 with the charger? They had outlets back then that could provide electricity
God this got me emotional, even that little interaction between Amy and Rory really got me, I've missed them so much
Ikr! I truly miss them! But most of all, I MISSED RORY! You have no idea how much of a giant hole was left in my heart!
I find it how ironic that the actor for Amy went and casted as a character in MCU mean while Rory actor got casted as an Arrowverse character
@@projektgeronimo2696 Yeah. I've been always wondering and thinking that I want their characters to meet and they can unite the universes together and see what happens next!
Dear lord why did i read this ...
Same here!!! 😭😭😭😭
Did anyone else notice it is also nearly eight years since The Angels Take Manhattan was aired?
It is probably the reason why this video was set in 1946.
Tulf42, also because in _P.S._ Rory says that they adopted Anthony in 1946.
@@mr.scarlo2234 the kids Adopted, i forgot is rory infertil and also ANthony would think the vidoe is nonsense
MrVercettti89 well no because of River, but the Silence must’ve done something to Amy
@@clarkstrange2142 Yeah, that's why they broke up in Asylum of the Daleks because Rory always wanted kids but Amy couldn't have anymore.
@@homeschoolingrules1 Well, Amy tried to break up with him, because she thought he deserved to be with someone who could give him children :-( Rory - being the wonderful Rory that he is - was just happy to have Amy in his life, regardless of their ability to have children together
"I'm mostly impressed by people. They can get through so much just by being brave and optimistic and resilient."
You don't know how much I needed this.
Thank you.
That struck me too; a message for us all in 2020. People have got through worse; we can get through this
You can hear Gaiman's writing in this lol
The Ponds are back. Thank you, Neil.
OmG! I Amn YouRz B1gge5T Fan EVa
I gave this comment a thousandth like.
@@willannka Holy crap. I didn't know it had so many likes.
1 of them is
How does he charge his phone? Haha
The gag that we're all waiting for him to say "The Doctor's Wife" and instead it's "I'm the Pretty One" ... sublime!
I didn't realise how much I'd missed Rory as a companion.
The angels are gone, Rory. We haven't seen one in like 4 seasons.
Revolution of the daleks + series 13: *are you sure about that?*
ok they're back to kill more people, 11 months ago was angel-free but not anymore
*laughs nervously*
We’re all dead-
Time of the doctor: *Am I joke to you?*
when we first met Amy, I really liked her, but when I met Rory, I instantly knew he'd become my favorite companion!
OmGZZ I HasZZ Teh StifFYies.
Never really thought about it but I think Rory is my favorite, next to K-9.
I actually teared up a little it felt like io had been sent back to this era of the show!! So well written !!!
I actually cried so hard!!! You have no idea how much I missed him!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Fanboy Alert!
The Ponds are back. Even for this, it is enough and brings their ending into a happily ever after. Just like a fairytale.
This was lovely. Glad River got referenced at least via the Doctor being Anthony's brother-in-law, though I do wish she had gotten a mention of her own (unless you go with the theory that River visits them so no mention was needed).
Isn't it canon that River visits them? After all, some time after Angels Take Manhattan, Amy and River collaborate to get the Melody Mallone book published. I could also have sworn there's an off-hand reference to her visiting them in a later story as well.
@@StarryEyed0590 Yes. I like to Think that Too. She was already in 1938 in the beginning Of The Episode before Rory got send back in time.
Besides, in the End Of The Episode, she says she gone talk to Amy write a epilogue. (Afterword).
Of course River visits! Besides, Professor Song would allow no other badass besides herself to babysit her little brother. This is the hill I will die on
Why couldn't the Doctor visit them?
It's confirmed in Alex Kingston's book "The Ruby's Curse" that she goes and visits them in New York. The TARDIS can't land there ever again, but she can get through with her Vortex Manipulator.
Really love how he acts more like the 11th doctor a bit, like he feels more responsible for things so he acts like him almost
Well he did become a "time master". So I'd say he definitely followed Caleb's footsteps. (Caleb the 11th doctor)
@@Elysia63 IZ Teh StiffIes! !337
Go watch season one of dc legends of tomorrow. Rip hunter is literally Rory playing 11
Well, he es one of the very few that took the "bigger on the inside" with naturality, and some logic.
I didn't realize how much I needed an Amy and Rory show, until now. Get to it, BBC!
I would binge watch a spinoff of Amy&Rory,but they need to figure out a way for the Doctor to go back in time to visit them. He can't go back to New York,but what if Amy&Rory decided to move to a different city/state,or even go back to the U.K. to live. The doctor(11th,if Matt Smith would come back for it)could get a call from A&R letting him know where they are. He could then visit,possibly with Riversong tagging along so that she can see how her family are.
@@n.e.sullivan7427 Wasn't the 10th doctor in NY for an episode during the time the Ponds would have been there? Could be interesting to see them meet up as well... Also, the 12th Doctor had been trying to fix the problem of the Tardis being able to get into NY (I think it was mentioned in Dr Mysterio) so maybe he could see them too. LOL, I"ll take the Ponds with any Doctor we can get!
@@n.e.sullivan7427 The Ponds' grave are in NY though
@@n.e.sullivan7427 Karen Gillan recently said she will get back into Doctor Who, if it's with Matt Smith & Arthur Darvill. These 3 together are everything we need. I hope they reprise their roles.
@@StillJustDreaming 10 was there during the Great Depression, before the Ponds arrived.
"im the pretty one"
me: *salutes* yes Rory-
my sister: *claps* he still is the pretty one!
I'm in tears. This roughly two minutes are written with more heart than the last two seasons. It was a master performance as always by Arthur Darvill and... God. I miss when the show was like that. Please more!
Yes, because Neil Gaiman can actually write, unlike the Doctor Who writers (looking at you Moffat).
@@johnbeaker8721 You mean Chibnall
@@johnbeaker8721 Moffat can write brilliantly. We're lucky we got him and Russel T Davis. We didn't know how much we'd miss them until we got Chibnall... Some of Moffat's work wasn't great, but 90% of it is better than 100% of Chibnall's.
JakeTheGearHeart He had some great episodes, but he's horribly inconsistent and the way he wrote the companions was awful.
He's also crap on Sherlock, which was mostly what I was alluding to.
@@johnbeaker8721 Sherlock was phenomenal. I don't remember a single thing I disliked about that show. And at least Moffat's episodes stand out, Chibnall has the blandest companions, blandest stories, and everything is filled with plot holes. Moffat had a great understanding of time in Doctor Who, more than Davis, and much much much more than Chibnall.
The fact he can still play the role at the drop of a hat is amazing! :D
Neil writing new Rory content has me with the heart eyes glasses on
im sobbing
I can't believe we're getting new Rory Williams content in the year of our lord 2020.
I feel like these two are prime for some kind of spin-off. A visit from Torchwood wouldn't be terrible.
Someone dial Big Finish.
Good call.
There's a boxset coming for Rory when he was a Roman Centurion.
@@timelordrock2954 Really? When is it due out? Any details?
@@StillJustDreaming Came out this month. can't believe I just watched this video tonight right after listening to the audio haha.
@@acciotardisalohomora6302 Good to know - thanks! Is it good?
The one thumbs-down has to be House. He’s just so small.
Yup, House the character (not Michael Sheen, who probably loves it)
I THUMBS DOWN CUZ HOW THE FUCK DID HE CHARGE HIS PHONE
I cannot believe someone gave this a thumbs down. It’s just wonderful. Good to see you, Rory!
I miss him a whole lot! And I bet you do too!
13 ppl gave it a thumbs down! How? Why?
HOW DOES HE CHARGE HIS PHONE THUMBS DOWN
ATOMiiCChicken I believe it’s a perk of being a companion. The Doctor takes his companions’ phones, does something he calls “jiggery pokery” and the phone not only has free universal roaming, but stays charged.
@@junegeraci5130 Heh, you can say that again!
1:04 - ”How i met your mother”
I always felt that Amy and Rory showed us what marriage is supposed to be~"together or not at all." I adored seeing this small epilogue; brought back the feels and the tears. But this was truly a gift--thank you all!
I love this. So much. Always really liked Rory, quite an underrated companion imo.
Why would you say that? Since you've always liked Rory?
@@Elysia63 Because I don't think he's given enough love by the rest of the fandom. Amy is far more popular than him for some reason, but I far prefer Rory to her.
I agree
Rory was a side car to the Amy story line and should have been given more but at least he was treated better than Danny Pink (Clara's side kick). Moffatt wasn't good with the secondary players. He totally undersold Bill. Moffatt started out great however in the end it was time for him to move on.
my at the time 11 year old cried when we lost Amy & Rory.
still won't watch the episode again.
they will be SO relieved to see you. and hear Amy. 🥰
How about *Asylum of the Daleks* there's another one for me that I DEFINITELY not want to watch again! (Aside from losing Amy and Rory)
I instantly teared up when he started talking about people’s bravery and resilience. That’s what it comes down to, in the end, isn’t it? We’ll all get through this with a bit of wartime spirit. Thanks for doing this, Arthur, Karen, Steven et al. ❤️
Rory, Amy and Neil together ... that was almost as good as a Dr Who Christmas special. THANK YOU!
The Murray Gold music....
Could make an amateur vlog look like a blockbuster that man!
I miss him so much... :(
Which is actually done her by Blaire Mowat.
God damn. I miss Murray Gold's music on Doctor Who. It added so much heart and warmth, and sadness and adrenaline - it was as much of a companion as any other
@@jasongreenwood8080 Agreed, but the new music is good as well. Adds something new.
This seriously made me cry uncontrollably.
It did to me too!! I couldn't stop bawling!!!
Me: "There's nothing interesting on TH-cam right now."
*finds this video*
Also Me: 0_0
Thank you for this bit of joy during our quarantine and reminding us how truly awesome an experience it was back then.
This teared me up. Rory and Amy got a happily ever after!
Rory was my favourite companion in new Who. Loyal, brave, compassionate...the fact that he looks like Arthur Darvill is only a bonus :)
Yeah! He's really hot! And he's my favorite too!
We miss you, Rory (and Amy)!
This is so nostalgic and bittersweet and perfect. Bless whoever came up with this idea.
That was Neil Gaiman.
Thanks, Arthur (as the wonderful Rory) and a vocal cameo by Karen (as Amy)! 💜
oh I just want a special Comic Reliefe etc ep of Amy & Rory in NYC
How about these Lockdown extras be put on a DVD .....and the proceeds go to the NHS?
Pretty sure those are not made by BBC
Emily Cook of Doctor Who Magazine has arranged this, somewhere along the line there I presume there was BBC involvement....considering the times we are in and the cause it would be for, it is just an idea
Rory is the Chuck Norris of Doctor Who. Nothing can kill him. Think about it: the Weeping Angels had to transport him back in time to kill him and then he only died due to old age. The man is awesome!
That is how Weeping Angels hunt and kill though. They send you back in time and they let you live to death. They feed of off the life you could have had in your true time streem.
@@alexandralugo1743 Remember they also snap your necks if you peeve them yet they still didn't manage to do that to Rory...because he's the man. He commands respect...
@@pferreira1983 The Weeping Angels only break your neck if they're in a weakened, starved state.
@@carlycchapman I remember it's violence towards them that makes them retaliate.
It's so good to see Rory again - one of my all time favorite companions. Arthur Darvill still adds so many layers to the character, and so much perfectly pitched emotion. I'm glad this wasn't just a quick recap of all the Rory Death self-parody and also included some contemplative and tender moments, tied to today but still working for the canonical setting. I have missed Rory a great deal but I'm glad we got these few moments together. Thank you to Arthur and to Neil Gaiman for a great script. I hope this won't be the last adventure for Rory - he still has so much to give.
I love many men, but Rory Williams is THE ONLY MAN for me. My favorite companion of all time 💖
Hey you're not the only one! He's my favorite companion too!!!
this is the cutest thing ever. I'm a little emotional, if I'm honest 🥺💕
Oh I'm positive you are! I AM!!! I love Rory! My dear precious one!!!!!!!
Same! I miss this era of Doctor Who 😔
This is canon. Nobody can convince me otherwise.
It is canon, nearly everything in Doctor Who is canon. Even the really silly stuff like the Tenth Doctor getting a pet cat he named Rose.
Tardis Fandom's definition of canon is something along the lines of, it has a narrative and it has characters from Doctor Who. Even John Bishop playing Dan on his show could be considered as canon.
I love these extra little minisodes, even years after these characters left the show. Truly amazing for such an uncertain time. ❤️❤️❤️
this is amazing :D Love how Rory and amy will always be remembered.
Oh, bless. Dear Rory. Always alive again!
He is _alive_ in our hearts! ❤💕💕💕
I didn't expect to cry at this and yet here we are. Thank you Arthur, Karen, Neil, Blair, and Emily.
This is getting me so emotional. I'm just so satisfied and relieved to know they're happy.
Might be crying... just a little bit 😭
I'm not! I'm bawling like a 2 year old!!!! *BAWLING SO HARD*
😭I miss the Ponds so much
This gives me such a nostalgia...I'm getting all teary missing them :
I love it. this is the most insane random thing that could ever be made again, and i love it so much. arthur you beautiful actor
New content for my favourite companion? I am so happy right now!
Always great to hear from the Ponds.
Nice you have you visit me in my living room today on this rainy day in Nashiville, Rory!
There's going to be more, right? Please tell me there will be more....
Oh wow! It's so amazing to see Rory again. And written by Neil! My heart just burst of happiness 😭
This is genuinely amazing. so unexpected, but so so uplifting
I love this, thank you so so much. Amy and Rory are just fantastic and this is fantastic and it’s funny because I don’t think Arthur, Karen and Matt will know how much they’ve made all of us cry, yet all of us so incredibly happy :)
I love Rory. I just love him. His total devotion to Amy, his compassion, his lack of fear for the Doctor... He grew more than any character ever has in the show imo. He's just brilliant.
NO WAIT WHAT IS THIS I'M CRYING ALREADY
Can we please have more of these. Pretty please
I've watched this like a million times. The Ponds era of Doctor Who was the first era I watched as it aired and holds such a dear place in my heart. I miss them everyday and have been watching Doctor Who in quarantine to cope.
This is lovely. He just happens to be Rory, many years later!
I loved it!!! Thank you Neil Gaiman, Arthur Darvil and Karen Gillan.
Omg!!!! My mind is blown this is amazingggg
Awww that made me cry. That was beautiful. I still miss them very much 😢😭
Oh, I've missed a whole playlist of these jewels! Leaving a very well-deserved like and comment for each one!

Excellent! More, please - much more!
Arthur Darvill! 😭 My precious one!!!
This has made me so happy.
He was the most underrated companion! He is the best! ❤

Oh gosh, I had such the biggest smile on my face watching this. It was a happy one, and a sad one. I love this to bits!
Thank you SO much for this. What a delight to see. Two of my favourite characters.
"They can get through so much by being brave and optimistic and.... resilient."
Words to live by, the message behind these words might not be as complex as I think them to be, but that's the truth of what's going on now, if we're brave, optimistic and resilient this pandemic won't be as bad as we think it is, it's still a serious issue but sometimes just pushing forward is the best way to go
