I remember Matt Smith saying that after his first episode broadcast, he was approached on the street by none other than Peter Capaldi who commented on what a great job he did. Future 12 goes back in time to talk to encourage himself?
The one line #11 (Matt Smith) said that will forever cement him as one of my favorite Doctors was when he exclaimed, "Dinosaurs On a Spaceship!" with absolute delighted glee on his face. It was SUCH a Doctor thing to say! Super old dude still able to view the universe with childlike wonder. That's what Matt Smith brought to the character (right from the beginning in Amelia Pond's kitchen) and that's what I'll always love about #11.
Initial reaction to a musical episode was "Eehhhhhh" but turned to "...but then again John Barrowman singing and dancing, hmmmmm", then all the way to "music by Benny and Bjorn? You bastards, I'm in."
@@billywhizz09 Benny and Bjorn have done quite a lot of music outside of ABBA. They've done quite a bit for the stage, including the musical Chess (and it's hit, "One Night in Bangkok")
Yeah it’s one of those roles that, after a certain actor puts their own spin on it, you can never see anyone else being that character. It’s kind of like how we now know that Will Smith turned down the role of Neo in The Mattix. After seeing Keanu Reeves as Neo, it could never have been anyone else.
A Torchwood musical? Wow. Yeah, I would have loved to see that. I'm sure John Barrowman would have loved getting to make that, but all the other actors would have hated it.
I think if they had cast Kate Winslate as River Song then she would probably be a one-off character, because I don't think Winslate with her movie carreer would have this much time in her schedule to appear in more episodes.
Given how goofydoodles the plots can get, I would not be surprised if River Song had to be the Fairy Godmother to someone. I mean, heck...the Eleventh Doctor literally became the ghosts of past, present, and future to a version of Scrooge.
she's said about various cases of wizards in stories turning out to be the doctor so its not really "out there" to suggest that River has done some kind of fairy godmother scheme. also, we saw at one point she pretended to be cleopatra so what other kind of identities might she have used?
I honestly cannot imagine Kate Winslet as River Song, I'd genuinely like to see her give her take on a few iconic River Song moments to see what her version would have been like
3:49 - With RTD having his official headcanon of Harriet Jones (Yes, you know who she is) having actually survived the Dalek attack, I'll wonder if has plans to bring her back in his second era.
Torchwood: the Musical? I can only guess something along the lines of Buffy’s Once More With Feeling? John: singer Gareth: punk/rock band Naoko: Avenue Q Kai: The Full Monty (stage) Not sure about Eve or Burn, but they don’t all have to be affected.
Well, there was the musical/opera episode of 'Xena' that was much better than I would have expected it to be. And Ulvaeus and Andersson (from ABBA) had created the musicals "Chess" and "Mamma Mia", so they've had some success at it before. Now, let's see a musical version of 'Space Battleship Yamato' first (kind of like the musicals of 'Sailor Moon' and "Revolutional Girl Utena').
If anyone's interested: Wilhelm Reich was a real person, and he was Sigmund Freud's pupil, albeit the wacky one Freud disowned somewhat (as opposed to Carl Jung). Cloudbusting was inspired by a book called A Book of Dreams, by Reich's son Peter, about their relationship and Reich's treatment by the FBI. I'm not going to say whether or not it's actually possible to induce rain with an orgone gun, but I don't think they should have thrown Reich in prison and burned his books.
Yeah! That's the voice I heard in my head when I read the article! I'm a by-God spellbinder... "...the Doctor can't be bothered with..." Wow I like the idea of Kate Winslet in the show, but not as River. I have something of a relationship with Alex Kingston going back to ER (a very young cousin thought I looked like Dr. Greene; I don't, but she insisted on calling me by that name, and Dr. Greene married Dr. Corday). I didn't know any of these things, so good job, Jacob. Good video all around.
It honestly doesn't sound too far-fetched for the Doctor to have married a fairy godmother on some other planet at some point. I wouldn't be surprised, considering all the other dalliances
While I *love* the 'ABBA-fication of Who' concept, I have to point out that the two 'B's were the driving force between one of my all-time favourite musicals, 'Chess', which did brilliantly world-wide, so it actually could have been IRL-great as well as crazy-great...
Kate Winslet isnt actually wierd at all since a decade prior Trek already ran with that idea. Guinan was very much the Trek equivalent since Whoopi was huge at the time and the creators were more confused why a big name wanted to be on their meager sci fi show
I really wish we had seen more of the subwave network. My favorite part of series 4 and it's finaly was how big the group had gotten. Of course he still had his main companion but on top of that he had Jack, Martha, Sarah Jane, Torchwood team, unit and Donna's family all on earth ready to help him. It all felt so much more connected knowing that whenever he returned to present day earth he could run into old companions. We did get a similar thing when Vastra connected people through a dream but Clara and River were the only big characters. I just wish we had seen more of Martha and Jack meeting and helping the doctors older regenerations. It would have kept the world more connected. Now whenever the doctor loses a companion or regenerates it feels like starting from scratch but in Tennants era we always had Jack and Martha to keep in connected.
I the second original series, there was a story called Planet Of The Giants, where the tardis did rematerialize on Earth in miniature form leaving your travelers to a host of situations that a regular sized human would not necessarily encounter.
No, stop! How the heck did I not know my favourite person on the planet Benny almost wrote a Torchwood musical!! ABBAomnibus, you let me down 😂 If it had been anything like Chess, it would have been wonderful! And, imagine Benny and Björn working with Murray Gold! I need to know more! Was this around the time of Kristina? Would BAO have gotten involved? What do you mean they're Torchwood fans!!!!??? I can imagine something similar to the sound of Inga Theme working really well for a Torchwood score. Would Björn, a man with a better grasp of the English language than most Brits, have written the lyrics? Did B&B start to work on any of the music? I need to go through their entire discography and put together what I think a Torchwood musical would sound like 😂 Russell, please can we make this happen with Ncuti's Doctor!?!?!
Ok, so this was 2007, BAO 3 was released (a very folky, brass band-esque album indeed), and they were likely working on Mamma Mia the film (which was a year away from release) and their absolute hit single Story of a Heart!
Benny and Bjorn did the title song for The Visitors. Until I learned about its underlying meaning of Russian dissidents, I thought it was about Frida being abducted. It came across like the Barry abduction scene in Close Encounters.
Bit late commenting on this - but don’t forget Benny & Bjorn wrote the musical ‘Chess’. I’m not really a fan of musicals but I did see this on the stage and it was awesome.
Harriet Jones, MP for Rydedale North of course (as in Aliens of London - the aliens that took over Downing St) and later on :"Harriet Jones "former Prime Minister"
5:23 I didn’t know that fact about Kate Winslet, but it’s really interesting. Funny enough, she wouldn’t have been the first Oscar winner on Doctor Who. Several Doctor Who actors had been nominated through the years, but the very first academy award winner to be on the show was Peter Capaldi in 2008’s The Fires of Pompeii. He won an academy award in 1995 for Best Short Film. Later, Olivia Coleman, who played Prisoner Zero in 2010’s The Eleventh Hour won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2019.
Scarry fact is that the new erth hospital might not be all that far away in the future. All depending on cloning and genetic donations legality depending globally.
With the way that a lot of American series have incorporated at least one musical episode into their seasons, a musical Torchwood episode doesn't seem that far fetched - alien brain parasites that make people sing and dance? Why not?
If Kate Winslet has been River, do you think they would have written the character differently? Honestly I can’t imagine anyone other than Alex calling the Dr “sweetie”
Ellie, please can you help me with this question that has been going round in my head for years. Doctor #1 had a granddaughter (Susan). As far as I can remember there is no reference to a Wife or Daughter? . The first reference to a wife is when #11 and River get hitched (as far as I can remember, but I am getting old) please help, not with me getting old but with this conundrum I have.

I absolutely love kate bush, now tell me, how after listening to cloudbusting for so long and watching the music video so many times did i not realise until this video the Dad was played by Donald Sutherland, one of my favourite actors
I'd have LOVED to have had Elton on for the series 4 finale! Imagine! An episode where we don't have to think too hard about his relationship with pavement slabs!
I was expecting stuff like "Jacqueline Hill discovered Sean Connery" or "(then-) Prince Charles almost had a cameo", etc. In fact I could probably find ten more interesting facts. Eh, never mind.
Oh no if Kate Winslet had played River we never would have seen that character again. Oscar winning actors demand outrageous prices and are not just something you can causally hire.
I'm extremely relieved that Harriet Jones not Elton Pope was the face of the Subwave Network, that would have been beyond Horrendous 😮 His character annoyed me right from the very beginning before he got dodgy with the paving slab.... 😮🤢 On the other hand, Torchwood the musical, I cannot for the life of me picture Owen merrily singing away 😂😂😂 Fascinating compilation this, and thank goodness too for Alex Kingston over Kate Winslet, she wouldn't have been right for River Song ❤
Dark season was Kate Winslet first TV job. She has recently come back to her role for the Big Finish audio revamp of the series, I'm sure she would gladly be River Song if RTD asked her at the time.
Yet another Disney IP they couldn't use...The Fairy Godmother? Along with Pluto (originally planned for the real dog companion until the "tin dog" K-9 ended up being the final character?)
Disney may own the design of that specific fairy godmother (the one in blue in cinderella) but they don't hold copyright on the term fairy godmother or the concept overall. Just that specific design.
Some day we will have someone actually try to do a musical and possibly do it well. Until then Once More With Feeling must be a terrifying yard stick to live up to!
torchwood was in the era of buffys infamous "once more with feeling" episode, every show had a musical episode, which the audiance may well have forgiven, but the westend and broardway, not a (pick you favorate expleative!!) chance

Agreed.
I always felt that episode was written like a 5-year-old boy’s fantasy. I mean DINOSAURS on a SPACESHIP? Even for Doctor Who…really???
I would've never, even in my wildest dreams, imagined an ABBA / Torchwood crossover. So wild.

Yeah it’s one of those roles that, after a certain actor puts their own spin on it, you can never see anyone else being that character.

A Torchwood musical? Wow. Yeah, I would have loved to see that. I'm sure John Barrowman would have loved getting to make that, but all the other actors would have hated it.
Springtime for rassilion
Maybe not. Naoko Mori has also done musicals, notably "Avenue Q" in the West End.
Gareth David-Lloyd is also a lead singer in a prog metal band.
I think if they had cast Kate Winslate as River Song then she would probably be a one-off character, because I don't think Winslate with her movie carreer would have this much time in her schedule to appear in more episodes.
Not to mention even if she was free she would have been an extremely expensive hire considering the fact that she’s a famous oscar winning actress
Who says River Song can't be the fairy godmother?

Torchwood: the Musical?
I can only guess something along the lines of Buffy’s Once More With Feeling?

Not sure about Eve or Burn, but they don’t all have to be affected.
