Bananas reminded me of a random fact about the Doctor that isn't a spoiler since it rarely comes up and is without any actual backstory. He just has a random, overwhelming, passionate hatred of pears. He will absolutely voice how he will never eat one.
Emme I wanted say that you should watch X-Men 97, it's such a great show and some even say that it is the best thing the Marvel has provided since Endgame. And since marvel has got their Mutants right back so, mutants are going appear in the future mcu movies. And more than that their most important movie since endgame is a movie about two mutants (I don't want to spoil anything more than that) so mutants are becoming important in MCU and you don't know anything about them, that's not good. For you to watch the X-Men 97 you need to watch some other shows like X-Men animated series in produced 90's( predecessor or prequel of X-Men 97). That is a big show containing 76 episodes so, that's not possible to watch and do a reaction on it. So I would prefer to watch a full series explanation video on TH-cam, and if you want you can do a reaction on it or watch the entire series alone, which will be better for you. And there are lot of other X-Men movies that you need to watch. I would say that you should just need to watch those and no need to do a reaction on it. If you do all these things you are ready to watch the X-Men 97 show, which is one of the best things Marvel has ever produced.

14:32 Emme: "Wait, so, does that mean that..." Me: "Yeeees, you got it... say it..." Emme: "...nobody died?" Me: "So close!" 😂 Genuine Clara moment, there. 😅
On the bomb that Jack is riding, you can see the words 'Schlechter Wolf.' Guess what that means. As for why Jack is riding a bomb... well, he's Captain Jack. Anything that moves.
This is genuinely my favorite Doctor Who episode. A weird sci-fi premise that really works within its own logic, well-done horror, and Eccleston in his absolute prime. Everybody lives!
Britain was under strict war time rationing of food. You didnt just buy it, you could only get certain amounts/certain kinds on certain days. The man she was stealing from was buying food illegally from the black market which was a big crime during the war. His neighbors were on minimal rations, the street kids displaced by the bombing were going hungry while he was stuffing himself. Thats why he could be blackmailed.
My interpretation of it was less that the man was buying food off the Black Market, and more that he was stealing it - hence why Nancy knew he had a good pair of wire cutters.
@@maxvickrey4357 Yes, I think the "stealing" bit got mixed up in this thread. My understanding was that the butcher was giving the family extra portions under the counter. Rumour on the street was that it was because the wife was "messing around", as Nancy puts it, with the butcher, but it was actually the husband. The kids were technically stealing, but the point being they were stealing something he wasn't supposed to have in the first place.
@simongiles9749 I think it was left deliberately vague. Entirely possible that he was sleeping with the butcher based on the exchange, but him "messing about with" could have meant that he was stealing from the butcher when you couple it with Nancy's knowledge that he had a lot of tools that would have helped him breaking into places. I quite like that it works on two levels.
I do love the "Well, there is a war on is it possible you miscounted?" line. Captain Jack Harkness is the lovable scoundrel. His heart is... mostly in the right place, but if you shake hands with him count your fingers afterwards.
"Dancing" is, of course, used here as a euphemism for a rather more intimate relationship. If you had been with the show back in 1963 you would know that the Doctor's first traveling companion was his granddaughter so, as the Doctor said, he's definitely "danced" in his time!
I love that you hit upon my favorite part of the story: the unmitigated joy when the Doctor said "Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES!" Eccleston's performance really makes you feel the weight the Doctor carries from all the times when not everybody lived.
EVERYBODY LIVES! Gosh, I loved your reaction to that moment, because I felt the same when I first watched that scene! Even if we don't know the Doctor THAT well it was pretty clear that he has gone through a lot and the fact that everyone was able to survive just this once, was very special for him and had that effect on the viewer too. Also, as you said, everyone surely has called their commander mummy by mistake at some point. And now we have Captain Jack! He was a very fun addition to this season.
My mum was a nurse during the war, and I remember her telling me how they never expected we could win, so Nancy's attitude is realistic. Also, Nancy was the name of my mum's twin sister, who died when they were 2 years old. On a lighter note, isn't it great that nobody dies in a story set during the Blitz?
This lady is sooo sweet I just found her channel today, I’ve watched doctor who 20 times and watched about 7 reactors watching it and every time I watch a new reactor watching it feels like it’s my first time again! Going to be watching all your reactions this week
“Go to your room!” There is a shell of who that kid was inside, so “go to your room” was a Hail Mary pass by the doctor but it worked. He bet the kid looking for his mom on some level was still a kid. I love this episode. The ending was beautiful. Still makes me cry when Nancy says “yes, I am your mummy!” In 1941 she’d have had great shame being a young woman who got pregnant out of wedlock. So of course she lied, while still taking care of him.
Now you’ve experienced your first episode written by future showrunner, Steven Moffat. I think you’ll enjoy his work and future stories - he won the prestigious Hugo award three years in a row for stories he wrote for Doctor Who.
The typewriter scene was actually a last-minute addition to the episode because it was running too short. They had to contact Steven Moffat (the writer) while he was on holiday to see if he could quickly write something that wouldn't cost anything to make!
Thanks for another Dr Who Upload. I really enjoy your reactions. You are awesome. And I'm still rocking my Wizards of Bard shirt that you recommended awhile ago. I kind of want the newer one that says, "the cave you fear holds the treasure you seek"

There is often a lot of classic lore that pops up in new who like alien races, past adventures, running jokes, etc. However, this episode mentions so many things that sound like they *could* be lore but they were literally just made-up here. There’s never before been any mention of the Chula, nanogenes, time agents, sonic devices outside of the sonic screwdriver (which the doctor invented), human time travel tech (as a watch, too), the stuff about the doctor closing down the gun factory, etc. Classic whovians can correct me on any of these. It’s really cool that they were able to flesh out and expand the Doctor Who universe with completely fresh passing tidbits.
The concept of time agents were briefly mentioned in the Fourth Doctor episode 'The Talons of Weng-Chiang'. I believe the main villain mentioned that he was running away from time agents.
@@Bolanis oh dang! Thanks! It's been so long since I've seen that story. I've rewatched classic who multiple times but just the once was enough for that story.
@@katie8881 and Time Agents had already appeared or been mentioned in a couple of BBC 8th Doctor Adventure novels a few years before this episode (Eater of Wasps and Trading Futures).
@@Grizzly01-vr4pn the encyclopedic knowledge of whovians is my favorite part of being in this fandom. How are the 8th Doctor novels? I've listened to a number of his audio dramas but never got into any books starring 8.

They were one of the few formats at the time keeping the show ticking over while it wasn't on TV, so much like the Virgin New Adventures novels (7th Doc) they hold a special place in many of we fans hearts.

The reason that the bloke having a thing with the butcher is important - he was getting the food illegally because of it, cos they were under strict rationing. Buying food normally would only happen if you had the coupons (and meat was limited to roughly two chops & 4oz of bacon or ham per person per week).
The red bike when she was 12. Imagine you’re traveling with the Doctor and telling him what your 12 year old heart wanted more than anything and your disappointment for not getting it. Of course he’s going to go back and give her the bike.
Good watch. On point. Yeah they do tease the audience a fair few times across series besides just yep the mother, jack coming with or staying with the bomb. You get used to it in later episodes or series the audience teasing. The banana to lighten the situation. The Doctor and the nanogenies throws me off it isn't to time lord wait oh the regeneration thete hence leg growing back and healing them as they need more then just Nancy they need everyone else and qell just the Doctor saving them is enough for a brief ending. Yep the draft is the least of their problems. Great last words.
Back when Russell t davis' writing felt like Doctor Who. Because I don't know what it is but he's new era sure doesn't feel or sounds like doctor who nowadays.
I'm still a tiny bit disappointed that when she said her leg grew back Doctor Constantine didn't say "I don't believe it!!" Other than that perfect episode.
With Rose's dad being dead that was a fixed point in time but this was a different scenario it was aliens interfering with human history. "Everybody lives!" which is very rare for Doctor Who as there was always a characters dying each episode. Captain Jack Harkness is not my favourite character but he does become a fan favourite and the most popular character in Dr. Who fandom.
I don't think Rose's Dad's death was a fixed point in time. It was more that Rose was messing with her own timestream by saving him, which created a paradox.
The emotional wallop of this episode is something the rest of the season ... just my personal opinion ... wasn't able to top. Having Jack Harkness as a recurring character was decent groundwork for the idea of multiple companions, though slightly undercut by the dumbass guy in episodes 6 & 7 whose name I already forget.
THANKS for this!!!! But why are you spoiling this in your title? :( [THINKS ABOUT IT] Ohhh...I see what you're doing now....question and sad face withdrawn :)
Empty Child / Doctor Dances are imo the strongest duo in the reboot run... and it's a shame the BBC chose to not hire the lead writer on those eps again in the series run because they considered the story "too dark" for the youth market they were aiming for.
@@Grizzly01-vr4pn Steven Moffat s listed as “head writer” because of standard crediting guidelines putting his name on every script. He didn’t actually write those episodes. This is standing practice across most of their shows. I forget the writer’s name off hand but he also has credits on two seasons of the Lost television show. He was open about his experience in the series on twitter after the BBC / Eccleston fallout but it’s been over a decade at this point. Tbh if you check the IMDB credits for these eps they list Moffat and Sydney Newman, who actually died in 1997, so crediting here is pretty loose.
@@robertmartin2936 What? That's not...what? Where are you getting this information? Steven Moffat definitely wrote this episode. That "standard crediting guidelines" for a head writer is something reserved for a showrunner, which Moffat definitely wasn't during this run in 2005. Russell T Davies was showrunner and often did rewrite scripts from other writers. Human Nature/Family of Blood is one of the most famous Tennant episodes written by Paul Cornell, who was the original story writer, but it was heavily rewritten for TV by Russell Davies who actually did not take credit for his rewrite on it. He would start putting in his name alongside the episode writers due to his rewriting, but that was way later on. When Moffat took over as showrunner, he'd do similar edits, but it wasn't until the end of his run that he started to take credit for his rewrites. You may be confusing the UK writers' room with the US WGA-led version. Hollywood writers' rooms will often have their writers work out ideas together and then break into pairs and groups to write out a script after which a credit is sorta just assigned. If you ever listen to the Parks and Rec or The Office podcast, there are many writers who will comment on their episode that certain jokes just came from someone in the room and don't fully remember who owned it. UK writer rooms are often focused on a single writer owning a series like Broadchurch entirely written by Chris Chibnall or In The Loop entirely written by Armando Iannucci. A series like Doctor Who does pull other writers, but the head writer has a lot of command like American showrunners and quite often they'll leave the main credit to who actually wrote the episode script. Neil Gaiman wrote "The Doctor's Wife" and is entirely credited for it despite the showrunner at the time Steven Moffat actually having to rewrite scenes and some of the best jokes of the ep near the end since Gaiman got tired of making new drafts to fit the series.

"It's a banana grove, now" That's HOW the Doctor did it.😂 Terraformed the factory with an endangered species of banana. Owners can't get it back.

@@Grizzly01-vr4pn Steven Moffat s listed as “head writer” because of standard crediting guidelines putting his name on every script. He didn’t actually write those episodes. This is standing practice across most of their shows.
I forget the writer’s name off hand but he also has credits on two seasons of the Lost television show. He was open about his experience in the series on twitter after the BBC / Eccleston fallout but it’s been over a decade at this point.
Tbh if you check the IMDB credits for these eps they list Moffat and Sydney Newman, who actually died in 1997, so crediting here is pretty loose.
@@robertmartin2936 Drivel, and hilarious you believe all that.
PS IMDB is not a reliable source.
@@robertmartin2936 What? That's not...what? Where are you getting this information? Steven Moffat definitely wrote this episode. That "standard crediting guidelines" for a head writer is something reserved for a showrunner, which Moffat definitely wasn't during this run in 2005. Russell T Davies was showrunner and often did rewrite scripts from other writers. Human Nature/Family of Blood is one of the most famous Tennant episodes written by Paul Cornell, who was the original story writer, but it was heavily rewritten for TV by Russell Davies who actually did not take credit for his rewrite on it. He would start putting in his name alongside the episode writers due to his rewriting, but that was way later on. When Moffat took over as showrunner, he'd do similar edits, but it wasn't until the end of his run that he started to take credit for his rewrites.
You may be confusing the UK writers' room with the US WGA-led version. Hollywood writers' rooms will often have their writers work out ideas together and then break into pairs and groups to write out a script after which a credit is sorta just assigned. If you ever listen to the Parks and Rec or The Office podcast, there are many writers who will comment on their episode that certain jokes just came from someone in the room and don't fully remember who owned it. UK writer rooms are often focused on a single writer owning a series like Broadchurch entirely written by Chris Chibnall or In The Loop entirely written by Armando Iannucci. A series like Doctor Who does pull other writers, but the head writer has a lot of command like American showrunners and quite often they'll leave the main credit to who actually wrote the episode script.
Neil Gaiman wrote "The Doctor's Wife" and is entirely credited for it despite the showrunner at the time Steven Moffat actually having to rewrite scenes and some of the best jokes of the ep near the end since Gaiman got tired of making new drafts to fit the series.
@@GravitasErrant unfortunately the practice of “marquee writer credit” is very much a thing practiced by BBC for years. Not just show-runners.
