I actually like that the 12th Doctor was darker. It was set up for a brilliant arc for that Doctor specifically, like the weight of the Time War, the losses, everything, was bottled up and able to be relieved to a degree by the end of his story. Buuuuut that's just me.
Capaldi literally dropped the name of the doctor when he became the hybrid with clara & Me... no joke... His Valeyard was showing. He rebecame the doctor with clara in the dinner, leaving the hate behind.
@@HellfireComms "This regeneration, it'S a bit of a clerical error anyways...." "We all have to make choices, even when all we have are bad ones., We still have to choose." Capaldi 's 12th in a nutshell. "Not flirting by the way!" My Lady friend T-Rex!"
You're totally right. It was subtle very subtle but the 12th Doctor had one of the most clear arch of any Doctor. At the beginning yes he was mean and alien and weird but by the end he was probably even more human than 10 was.
I'm not sure if I speak for everyone in Australia and NZ but we dont really watch TV on Christmas Day. The schedules are mostly just filled with movies (Possibly including the upteenth viewing of the Sound of Music). Everyone is most likely enjoying BBQ's in the summer heat and having a swim at the beach. Doesn’t get dark until about 9 O'clock at night too.
Please, please, please, please, please, pronounce 'schedule' in English ('shed', not American 'sked'). I know it's all over TV et al because most things are American, but their rules are different to ours. Just because it starts with the same few letters as 'school' and 'scheme' when its root comes to English from a different language we stuck with that pronunciation. It is the only 'sch' word pronounced shh not sk. Sorry to preach but our kids/grandkids aren't corrected at school which is why a lot of them sound American, which I loathe.
For future reference, Canada is really big. We have six and a half time zones (yes, and a half). From west to east: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, and Newfoundland, which is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic. So if Eastern has it at 12:10 pm, Atlantic will have it at 1:10 pm, and Newfoundland at 1:40 pm. The rest of it will track similarly to the US time zones, with Pacific at 9:10 am, Mountain at 10:10 am, and Central at 11:10 am. Cheers! 🎄🎅☃️❄️
Technically, there are 5 and a half time zones across Canada: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and then Newfoundland time, (which is a half-hour difference from the continental mainland). Saskatchewan's time zone is considered a dual one due to that province not changing clocks for daylight savings, so in summer they are considered part of Mountain time, while in winter, they are part of Central time.
Also, saying "Christmas Day in Germany" while meaning 25th is kind of confusing as Germany same as some other European countries celebrate Christmas on the 24th and the 25th is just a chill day.
I said the same thing when I heard her say it. It may be due to so much of Great Europe sharing a time zone, but it should be a given with how many time zones are spread across Canada's southern neighbor.
I wouldn't be surprised if specials are exempt from the midnight release for ratings purposes. The 60th and Church On Ruby Road weren't released at midnight either. I guess we'll have to wait to see what Season 2 does! :D
The 50th anniversary special dropped worldwide at the same time. And held the Guiness World Record for the largest simulcast of a television drama for 2 years (the current record holder is Game of Thrones). Knowing that everyone else was watching it as the same time as me made the event more special. For two hours we were all unified.
The 12th Doctor was in my opinion, exactly who he needed to be. He was the one to gather everything and let it explode in a (somewhat) controlled manner. He is the cathartic Doctor. He represents those of us that would like to scream into the void every once in awhile. =)
As a Canadian, I'm personally going to let Ellie off the hook for only mentioning EST in relation to air times, if only for the selfish realltion of it being my timezone. But also because I know we have 5.5 timezones here, and it saved time by just referring to one... the with the highest population numbers and the one with all the homegrown TV network HQs that have forced my brethren in the far corners of the country to convert air times to local equivalents for decades. 😅
People shouldn’t be awake at midnight on Christmas Eve, let alone watching Doctor Who. Santa has stockings to fill (assuming that you’re not on the naughty list!)
German tradition is to wait as close to midnight 24/25 to open presents, so that time worked for me… but since I never could watch it at that time due to lack of the appropriate streaming service, I dont mind any specific airdate.
I think this is an exception since this is a Christmas special, other shows that do the early release model are also not doing it for their Christmas specials.
Doctor Who should be on Christmas day at 6:30pm and every Saturday at 7pm as it was when I was younger. I am the same age as the Doctor and have been watching almost my entire life. May the Doctor be on TV for longer than I live.
Merry Whomas!! Love your festive Christmas jumper! It's really cute. While I don't have access to seeing the new episodes of Doctor Who I do agree with you about it being at a proper time on Christmas Day. As one who has seen The War Games I liked it alot, but there were two things I didn't like. One was it was too long and convoluted and the second was a repeated sound that gave me a headache. The sound was pretty loud and annoying. I'm a bit jealous of the shorter version. The more I've seen of Patrick Troughton the more I've come to love his version of the Doctor.
I love that you always quote River Song. My first name is River AND I’m an archaeologist. You can imagine my shock when I first encountered the character in “Silence in the Library!”
@@Wasserstoffmelone China has a single Time Zone due to politics and unification while the USA has multiple due to geography, so that argument doesn't quite work... regardless, I have to wonder how exactly Ellie came up with Canada having a single Time Zone. Clearly she did a conversion for the world so what site did she use that thought the USA had multiple Time Zones but Canada, a country that quite literally is spans *the entirety* of the USA, somehow didn't...
@LazarusTheGeek Yes, China has a single time zone due to unification. Sure the US has multiple time zones due to geography but so should China, the US could also just have a single time zone if they decided to. so I don't really understand what your argument here is, but I am tired. I personally am not Canadian and while it is my favourite Country in North America, I am not very interested in Canadian Time Zones, also, most of the important cities in Canada are in the East. And it really isn't that big of a deal.
@ it’s not about what “could” be… it’s about what is. It doesn’t matter that China *could* have multiple time zones because it factually doesn’t. Simply put, Canada factually has multiple time zones just like the US. That said, I’m not expecting Ellie to immediately know that. There’s no reason for her to. My point was simple: I’m puzzled-but not bothered-by whatever method she used to get the disparate time zones not clearly stating that Canada has multiple time zones. That’s literally all. Get some rest, my friend. Maybe it’ll make more sense when you look at it some other time. Then again, it might not. Doesn’t matter.
Even (was it Kate?) UNIT doesn't know about us in N. America 😂 In one episode (was it Legend of Ruby Sunday?), someone from Unit said (about 3pm in Britain), "It'll be 10am in America." Me: *someone who coordinates Time with British Friends nearly every day* 3pm is 7am over here!" 😂 10am/3pm line up would be Central Time = a quarter of the USA.
5.10 pm is approximately the time we sat down to watch back in 1963. Oh, and as a 68 year old, I am NOT tucked up in bed by 10pm with a cup of cocoa, which seemed to be the implication.
OK. I’ll weigh in. I’m 71. I very rarely go to bed before midnight. I have been known to do so in daylight . . . ie 4am. As I like to say, I’m nocturnal.
As an American, I don't find anything unusual about "ten past five". It's when you say something like "half five" (to mean 5:30) that Americans get confused.
@@DrWhoFanJ, Hi again. Confused because leaving out “past” is long-accepted in the UK but, apparently, not in the USA. As an Aussie with English grandparents, even I have to think for a sec. Well, half a sec.
As an Australian, I am very displeased by this. I see many comments about Australian and Canadian time zones being neglected but I think that are failing to realise that it was just a rough idea of when the episode would broadcast in different regions.
My issue (and I'm American) is that the way it was worded was very UK and America centric, especially since she mentions all 5 of the (main) continental US time zones [The U.S. actually has 3 more time zones, { Alaska has the Alaska Time zone (UTC − 9 h). while The Aleutian Islands, a chain of volcanic islands extending southwest from the Alaska Peninsula, are in the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone (UTC − 10 h)), and at least 1 state (Arizona) doesn't follow DST. So I can see not trying to give all the outliers;, but if you're going to name the mainland U.S. time zones, it would have been polite to say that Canada shares major time zones with the U.S. (knowing that both U.S. and Canadian citizens are used to adjusting from PT/ET. Just as I'm not sure why she mentions Germany, but ignores the rest of Europe. It all feels a bit arbitrary that way. Not as much a critique as it is just feedback that it felt wierd.
The War Games is pretty epic, but with a lot of slow parts. Consider it's a 10x25 minutes serial. But seeing the Second Doctor, who influenced SO MANY after him.. that's priceless if you've never seen him before.
@@doctortwo9125 The Daleks edit doens't bode well for War Games. There was one core moment to the Daleks story - Barbara, Ian and the Dr working through and up to the confrontation with the pacifists Thals about having something to fight for - and the idiot that edited the Daleks butchered that - to save a whopping 90 seconds. When you can do something that cack-handed, you can pretty much screw up any edit.
I had a giggle that Canada and Australia now have one time zone. At the same time I am also baffled by folks that have such a hard time figuring out what time something is in their time zone from UTC.
Consider that not everyone sees time in UTC then converts, but rather just sees time in their own timezone by default, and would then have to reverse engineer that to UTC to figure it out. It's not particularly baffling.
I think 12 had good reason for showing his struggle against outside forces and his inner darkness. He was so emotionally invested in Clara (memory carry over from the time 11 spent with her), so it was cathartic for him (and us) to witness what he was thinking and feeling. 12 is my favorite so far.
3:15 I think this criticism can only really be applied to his first series. He's undeniably much lighter for much of Series 9 and 10, with moments of darkness. You can't tell me he wasn't utterly spine-chilling at the end of Face The Raven/beginning of Heaven Sent. 4:58 I'd rather have the LONG overdue Series 10 soundtrack first, actually.
( 2:24 ) Jodie’s Doctor did push the Master in the Series 12 finale and throw the Hologram device after finding out he destroyed Galifrey but that’s about it. 👍🏻
Was prepared to stay up all christmas Eve, waiting for a mysterious older man who flies through the sky with companions who assist them in their spread of joy
Mate, 4 o'clock in the morning release time isn't a problem. It just means it's available as soon as you wake up. They don't have to watch it at 4am to avoid spoilers, 'cause they'll also be asleep to avoid the spoilers. 4am's perfect, you wake up, instead of looking at you social media, you watch Doctor Who. I do it all the time with wrestling shows.
@@getmotivated1707the main show is on Disney+ but international viewers don’t get the prom or the war games in colour(although I think they usually do blu ray and dvd releases for those) or Doctor who unleashed.
@getmotivated1707 I think the OP was referring to the fact that, due to who primarily financed the production of it (the BBC alone), neither the Doctor Who Proms nor the colorisation of The War Games are part of the deal for DW stuff on Disney+. Just like how the Tales of the TARDIS episodes were BBC/iPlayer only. Those of us who use D+ to watch Who will, of course, still get to see Joy to the World.
I don't think A Doctor's personality can be "too far". I think while each Doctor is the same person, each regeneration has its own base personality, whether that's stand-offish, cheeky, affable, grumpy, whatever. This allows for those moments of "otherness" to shine and remind the viewer that they ARE the Doctor, no matter what they look like.
12 was the angry doctor. That's why he 'chose' that face. He was made of all the emotions from the things he couldn't change; the people he couldn't save. And, most importantly, what he did. 9 was the one that ran 10 was the one that regrets 11 was the one that forgets 12 was the one that remembered
12’s arc was different from the others. 12 started with a mean, off putting demeanor, but over the arc of the show, this all changed. The steel was still there, but the passion and love for the world shown through too. Each Doctor has to use the previous as a jumping off point. 15 started optimistic…I’m sure they will harden a bit as time goes by.
I am very glad that the UK is not getting it at such a horrible time, and I'm equally as glad that we're getting it a little earlier in the day here in the USA. Now my daughter and I can comfortably watch it before my whole family gets here for Christmas dinner..🎅🏻🎄
What hurt season one, (a good bit) was the midnight release. and to Elli's point, i felt no excitment when it came to release day. there was not point in getting exicted cause there was NOTHING speical about watch a new episode. As aposed to a set time, the antisipation, hope of a great story and having another adventure with a hero or two. I had more anntisipation for the 13th doctor's epsidoes even though they turn out to be Eastenders in space!
It's good they're making sure the British audience can have Doctor Who at that time, but hopefully it's not too bad for audiences elsewhere. It's hard to figure out the issues with timing!
Canada is a continent-wide country with at least five time zones corresponding with the 4 continental US zones and Atlantic time in the Maritimes (GMT -4)
8:17 ah yes, the great and glorious standard Canada time…..😂

A mean doctor makes me think of Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor. He wasn't a bad person but he could often be pretty mean, specially in the earlier episodes. He kind of soften up a bit later on. I'd love to see a mean Colin-esque Doctor!
I’m still confused about War Games Color stating they have the missing regeneration scene of Doctor 2 for the first time added. My Blu Ray has the regeneration scene. Or am I missing something?
There hasn’t been a BD release of that season yet. There wasn’t a regeneration scene in the story. We see Patrick Troughton getting further away from us at the end, then Jon Pertwee falls from the TARDIS near the start of the next story. The actual transition was never seen (because Jon hadn’t been cast when the scene was being filmed).
@@DrWhoFanJ War Games Color is fine for me thanks. In Germany we have a limited media book and I thought it was Blu Ray but it is still DVD. I stay corrected on that. Yeah the full transition is never shown, he is just in this strange tunnel or what it is spinning around.
@@DrWhoFanJ You are trolling right? You don’t know the word color? It’s the American way for your British colour. Jesus, there are more countries out there than yours. Or do you live in your own bubble? And it is War Games. The is unnecessary.
Wow. Looks like much of the UK will be having a very Doctor Who Christmas. Guess I will just have to be content watching the Christmas Special on Disney+, on Boxing Day, and just be sad that I don’t get the Proms, or The War Games, here in Australia. Oh, don’t forget that NZ is even further ahead, time-wise, so they will get it ~5:00 am, Boxing Day… The midnight releases worked well for us on the other side of the world, as we got to watch them at a respectable hour. People on your side of the world then had the choice of staying up and watching it, or watching it later, at a more respectable hour. Don’t want spoilers? Stay off the Internet. Read a book instead, if it matters that much to you. And, finally, I would debate that the UK has the biggest demographic of people watching Doctor Who. It was as much of an institution here in Australia, and NZ, and I would bet that we had an equal, or greater, share of our populations who watched the show. No idea how things stack up, now that it is only available behind a paywall, but us diehard fans are still around. Oh, and for the record, this 55 yo male did/ would get up to watch new Doctor Who when it is released, regardless of the time of day, or night… Cheers,
Doctor Who consistently topped the top of the TV broadcasts in the UK at its height, so I’d dispute your dispute, and to be honest I don’t think it matters. The BBC license fee is a legal requirement to pay, and while we are forced to fund these types of productions (I would choose to pay for Doctor who but that’s a separate point), we should get it at a time that suits us, as we simply don’t get a choice to pay for it, you do.
C@@zaandros Culturally speaking. Did an entire generations of kids in the UK watch Doctor Who 4 to 5 afternoons a week, for 10 months of the year. And as it was shown on our national broadcaster. (ABC). We also didn't have a choice on paying for it. It was fully funded by Australian Tax payers
Agree with everything you said. But didn't you have a little bit of disappointment, of not being able to watch actually ON Christmas Day, for the first time ever.
@@zaandros the show used to be broadcast on the Government funded ABC (for almost the past 60 years, mind you). Guess where the funding for the ABC comes from? Australian taxpayers. So every taxpayer was effectively paying for Doctor Who, whether they watched the show or not. But it is neither here, nor there. It is a show that is beloved, here, in NZ, and in the UK, as well as many countries around the world. Australia has been there since the beginning, and I still can’t help but feel we have been done dirty by the Disney+ deal. I happy to leave it at that. Cheers,
When Doctor Who ditches the controversial woke BS, then I MIGHT consider coming back to the show. As it is, I haven't seen anything since 'The Starbeast'
I like it when the Doctor goes a little bit Dark, I think those have been some of the best moments, and being able to play that depth was one of the things that really drew me to the Eleventh Doctor. I do think the Twelfth Doctor went a little far in his first series, particularly the first half of his first series, but I think he settled down quite a bit after that. He became a Doctor that showed the important lesson about the different of being Kind, which he was, the Twelfth Doctor was phenomenaly kind, and being nice which he very rarely was.
THANKS for this!!!! I *loved* that Twelve was mean as hell :) I never forgot Clara giving him those cards to read out loud because he had no skill in social cues!!! LOL!!!!
I fully expect Season 2 to have a simultaneous iPlayer/Disney+ release with a BBC 1 broadcast later in the day like Season 1, whether it's at midnight or another time that's for the BBC and Disney to decide. Disney will want the episodes to be released at certain time every week. The problem of broadcasting Doctor Who on BBC 1 over the weekend is that it's very hard to have the episodes broadcast at the same time each week for an entire season. IIRC the closest that we have got are Series 1 (all broadcast at 7PM on Saturdays with the exception of The Empty Child) and Series 12 (all broadcast at 7.10PM on Sundays apart from the New Years day broadcast of Spyfall Part 1 and the longer episodes of Spyfall Part 2 and The Timeless Children).
Don't know what happened to my comment, but it's gone. I remember saying something about leaving the air time at UK standard, we non-UK viewers can wait as we did in years gone by. And then I liked the hat, Ellie getting unreasonably excited makes everything worthwhile, yadda yadda, the regular stuff. And then a very Happy Who-Mas. Forgot emojis! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺 (Can't tell if that's Elvis or Saturday Night Fever, either is appropriate in my opinion)
How far back are you going? If you're talking streaming years we still had it when it was telecast in the UK, not being released simultaneously should manage to kill it off if that's your aim.
@@loiskapernick2769 I'm talking about letting UK viewers have it at their regular time, and the rest of us can wait til they get around to posting it. Having us play catchup is not going to kill the show.
@michaeltortorice9876 why should we go back to cave dwelling in this day and age...I have no problem if they drop it at UK viewing time, I'm used to that, anything less means they're not seriously considering the rest of the world, and can do without our financial backing, and the show can suffer the consequences.
@@DrWhoFanJ in what way would that be wrong, given you've lost heaps of free to air viewers in my country alone, avid fans who can't afford Disney plus, let's not pretend interest and viewership from overseas doesn't matter, and I wonder how many new viewers have really been gained, because I suspect a lot have been lost for other reasons, and I've been watching replays of Nu Who on free to air for months now, and there's something major missing with these new shows, and it's basically companions who belong with the Doctor, who contribute to the story, who you tune in to see, Jodie's problem also, it's just all missing. We shouldn't have to live the good old days, they should still be happening, the characters just aren't there any more. And don't try telling me we weren't getting a morning drop for streaming.
As a NZ viewer I don't mind the early morning release time because I just watch it with my breakfast and I don't have to worry about spoilers cos I'm asleep and just wait until after I've watched to check my phone
I like that the 11th and 12th were pretty mean with some dark moments, especially with the 12th. It is like he's a mad professor that has an angy outburst on the occasion. If I had to add some relatability and compare those two Doctors to characters from Marvel's Agatha All Along (great series bye the way), the 11th would be Jennifer Kale and the 12th is Lilia Calderu - mainly cause the "Am I Wispy Or An I Kooky" bit. I am definitely looking forward to Joy To The World, mainly so that I have an excuse to watch Disney+ more that isn't just The Incredibles, or TRON: Legacy, or Big Hero 6... yes, that is the three IPs I have to deal with in video games and yes, Baymax is in Fortnite at the moment. if I had to say one thing about the release date, Boxing Day is going to be full on chaotic for a lot of us including me. I was hoping that my next pay week after next Tuesday was going to be on December 20th but nope... I have to do a BIG grocery shop that will last me for 2 weeks and a few days. I know it sounds morbid, but thank goodness my 20 year old cat Pepper passed away late October. Yes, I am accepting and grieving and I'm TRYING TO GET USE TO BEING ALONE!? Welp, let's hope my extended family gives me a lovely gift for Christmas because I am definitely in need for a new physical calendar.
LOL.. "Canada, I think you're in the same time zone as Eastern..." Um.. You do realize that Canada is actually a larger land mass than the USA, right? You're charming, but damn man, that's basic basic stuff. Over 40 Englands could fit inside Canada. Just my province, where Toronto is... Ontario.. "England is 0.12 times as big as Ontario" P.S. We have 10 provinces, and territories in the Arctic region. "same time zone as eastern"... yeesh.
Ellie, the best dark Dr moment is DT's "I am the Doctor you are in the universes biggest library look me up" Not only was this brilliant but it hints at if you do not do what I want there will be repucusions, (unspecified but you will not like it). Any one who hear's that would run as they did. This line is up of course up with River's "Sweetie.
Hated the previous series, and as much as I love Moffat, I'm not sure my eyes will let me watch this episode. It's just so visually hideous. The colours and styling of these two characters (including the post-production and colour grading) are simply NAUSEATING. It's like a complete rejection of style and beauty.
The best solution would be to retcon the 15th Doctor entirely. Even better, retcon everything after Peter Capaldi. Many of you will deny it but Doctor Who is dead. It reeks of the Disney agenda that the US has been fighting against. The show runners have used Doctor Who as platform for their political message an the viewers have had enough. The ratings confirm this fact. While I'm ranting, I would like to this time no nominate Richard Ayoade as the next Doctor.
I remember when watching was only at a certain time, in a certain country. I was introduced to The Doctor as a native Californian pre-teen living in England in the 60s. Then we went home, and I had to wait till U.S. TV brought the Doctor over (Jon Pertwee, my favorite) but it was only at a certain time. So "you kids" today with the option to watch anytime, and over-'n-over... are SO lucky. Happy Holidays to all, and as always thank you all so very much for the videos. Is it too soon to make a request for next winter's special? I'd like to see Nick Frost back as Santa (please).
For me i can't wait for him to meet the daleks as for me seeing how each docters first meeting of the docters brings out that docters true nature and until i see that i don't think i can make my mind up on this docter as i do think he's good BUT I'm not 100% sure if it's good becuase the last one was just so bad or if he is truley good
I know the midnight release is a change, but I don't think it's catering to Americans a much as people think. Disney drops all their shows at 12-1am PST. Paramount+ does the same. So it makes sense with their formula to shift it to UTC for a british audience.
I do get it, and I do appreciate that they tailored it to be a midnight release UK vs a midnight release USA to reflect the British production of the show, however I’m still against the midnight release.
Nice to see a "simultaneous" release again, although like others I wonder if it's just going to apply to the specials. Most likely that answer is yes. As for Xmas, BAH HUMBUG!
Ummm, we have multiple time zones here in Australia so maybe if you could please specify which one (I am guessing its Australian Eastern) that would be helpful
It’s Aussie (Edit - Eastern) Daylight savings Time. 3:10 in Brisbane, 4:10 Sydney & Melbourne (& Hobart?), 2:40 NT, 3:10 SA, 1:10 WA. Or did I just get central & west in the wrong direction? I’ve now changed them twice & thoroughly confused myself. Still confused.
Why does it start at 5:10 and not 5? Also does Europe still watch tv? Maybe it's just my circle of people but it seems like everyone gave up cable for streaming.
Been nothing on Disney+ for Doctor Who, been promos for lots of their other show to promote Disney but no Doctor Who ever mentioned. I also saw BBC this morning doing a This Christmas promo and loads of shows mentioned, but Doctor Who was never mentioned once
You can't forget the time the doctor when he purposely changed history by saving that astronaut from the flood when she told him she was prepared to die and he told her TIME ANSWERS TO ME FOR I AM A TIME LORD AND AM THE MASTER OF TIME and she says what right does he have to change something set and he growls he could what he wants for he can change whatever he wants for he has no reason not to then he brings her back to earth she looks disappointed and goes inside and ends herself and he gives a primal rageful scream
I adopted the Christmas Cracker tradition at our family Christmas Day dinner after having seen the Christmas episode of "The Good Life" ("Good Neighbors" here on American PBS). The hats, jokes, and prizes went over well, as did the tugging/cracking. I seem to see them in more stores every year...
I actually like that the 12th Doctor was darker. It was set up for a brilliant arc for that Doctor specifically, like the weight of the Time War, the losses, everything, was bottled up and able to be relieved to a degree by the end of his story. Buuuuut that's just me.
"Time to leave the battlefield". Poetry.
Capaldi literally dropped the name of the doctor when he became the hybrid with clara & Me... no joke... His Valeyard was showing. He rebecame the doctor with clara in the dinner, leaving the hate behind.
@@HellfireComms "This regeneration, it'S a bit of a clerical error anyways...."
"We all have to make choices, even when all we have are bad ones., We still have to choose." Capaldi 's 12th in a nutshell. "Not flirting by the way!" My Lady friend T-Rex!"
You're totally right. It was subtle very subtle but the 12th Doctor had one of the most clear arch of any Doctor. At the beginning yes he was mean and alien and weird but by the end he was probably even more human than 10 was.
Seems like Capaldi got to do the character arc the Sixth Doctor was supposed to have followed.
I'm not sure if I speak for everyone in Australia and NZ but we dont really watch TV on Christmas Day. The schedules are mostly just filled with movies (Possibly including the upteenth viewing of the Sound of Music). Everyone is most likely enjoying BBQ's in the summer heat and having a swim at the beach. Doesn’t get dark until about 9 O'clock at night too.
Sound of Music? Maybe. However I will bet my life savings that National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation will get a run.
Swim at a beach... in late December. Northern America loathes you. >:( Thats why you have a Tazmanian Devil! HA! We win! :)
And we have 5 time zones.
Is it 5? I can get confused.
Also, will we get it Boxing Day or Christmas Day? We’re 10 hours ahead of UK, real time.
Showing not viewing
Please, please, please, please, please, pronounce 'schedule' in English ('shed', not American 'sked'). I know it's all over TV et al because most things are American, but their rules are different to ours. Just because it starts with the same few letters as 'school' and 'scheme' when its root comes to English from a different language we stuck with that pronunciation. It is the only 'sch' word pronounced shh not sk. Sorry to preach but our kids/grandkids aren't corrected at school which is why a lot of them sound American, which I loathe.
For future reference, Canada is really big. We have six and a half time zones (yes, and a half). From west to east: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, and Newfoundland, which is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic. So if Eastern has it at 12:10 pm, Atlantic will have it at 1:10 pm, and Newfoundland at 1:40 pm. The rest of it will track similarly to the US time zones, with Pacific at 9:10 am, Mountain at 10:10 am, and Central at 11:10 am.
Cheers!
🎄🎅☃️❄️
Saskatchewan has its own time zone as well because we don't observe daylight savings
Technically, there are 5 and a half time zones across Canada: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and then Newfoundland time, (which is a half-hour difference from the continental mainland). Saskatchewan's time zone is considered a dual one due to that province not changing clocks for daylight savings, so in summer they are considered part of Mountain time, while in winter, they are part of Central time.
Also, saying "Christmas Day in Germany" while meaning 25th is kind of confusing as Germany same as some other European countries celebrate Christmas on the 24th and the 25th is just a chill day.

I said the same thing when I heard her say it. It may be due to so much of Great Europe sharing a time zone, but it should be a given with how many time zones are spread across Canada's southern neighbor.
I wouldn't be surprised if specials are exempt from the midnight release for ratings purposes. The 60th and Church On Ruby Road weren't released at midnight either. I guess we'll have to wait to see what Season 2 does! :D
They are exempt from factual reality and basic math! 😂

Of /course/ its exempt from factual reality- it's Doctor Who. Where have you been?
*Season 15
The 50th anniversary special dropped worldwide at the same time. And held the Guiness World Record for the largest simulcast of a television drama for 2 years (the current record holder is Game of Thrones).
Knowing that everyone else was watching it as the same time as me made the event more special. For two hours we were all unified.

The 12th Doctor was in my opinion, exactly who he needed to be. He was the one to gather everything and let it explode in a (somewhat) controlled manner. He is the cathartic Doctor. He represents those of us that would like to scream into the void every once in awhile. =)
You couldn't have said it better mate
As a Canadian, I'm personally going to let Ellie off the hook for only mentioning EST in relation to air times, if only for the selfish realltion of it being my timezone. But also because I know we have 5.5 timezones here, and it saved time by just referring to one... the with the highest population numbers and the one with all the homegrown TV network HQs that have forced my brethren in the far corners of the country to convert air times to local equivalents for decades.
😅
People shouldn’t be awake at midnight on Christmas Eve, let alone watching Doctor Who. Santa has stockings to fill (assuming that you’re not on the naughty list!)
Christmas should be in winter (when people watch TV). It's about time the southern hemisphere moved the date to the end of June....
That would be 00:00 Christmas Eve; that would be 00:00 Christmas Day.
@@andrewholliday251, we have Christmas in July all over the place. So most of us can have TWO! 🎉
Edith. But only 1 Who…. 😢
German tradition is to wait as close to midnight 24/25 to open presents, so that time worked for me… but since I never could watch it at that time due to lack of the appropriate streaming service, I dont mind any specific airdate.
@ Wait until before they arrive‽ That makes very little sense.
I think 12 starts dark but he develops so well and grows into a really caring iteration of the doctor
I think this is an exception since this is a Christmas special, other shows that do the early release model are also not doing it for their Christmas specials.
Doctor Who should be on Christmas day at 6:30pm and every Saturday at 7pm as it was when I was younger. I am the same age as the Doctor and have been watching almost my entire life. May the Doctor be on TV for longer than I live.
You're 4.5 billion years old?

Merry Whomas!! Love your festive Christmas jumper! It's really cute. While I don't have access to seeing the new episodes of Doctor Who I do agree with you about it being at a proper time on Christmas Day. As one who has seen The War Games I liked it alot, but there were two things I didn't like. One was it was too long and convoluted and the second was a repeated sound that gave me a headache. The sound was pretty loud and annoying. I'm a bit jealous of the shorter version. The more I've seen of Patrick Troughton the more I've come to love his version of the Doctor.

Umm...you realize how massive Canada is right? And not restricted to a single time zone?
China too is massive, and they have one standard time zone for the country.
@@Wasserstoffmelone China has a single Time Zone due to politics and unification while the USA has multiple due to geography, so that argument doesn't quite work... regardless, I have to wonder how exactly Ellie came up with Canada having a single Time Zone. Clearly she did a conversion for the world so what site did she use that thought the USA had multiple Time Zones but Canada, a country that quite literally is spans *the entirety* of the USA, somehow didn't...
@LazarusTheGeek Yes, China has a single time zone due to unification. Sure the US has multiple time zones due to geography but so should China, the US could also just have a single time zone if they decided to. so I don't really understand what your argument here is, but I am tired.
I personally am not Canadian and while it is my favourite Country in North America, I am not very interested in Canadian Time Zones, also, most of the important cities in Canada are in the East. And it really isn't that big of a deal.
@ it’s not about what “could” be… it’s about what is. It doesn’t matter that China *could* have multiple time zones because it factually doesn’t. Simply put, Canada factually has multiple time zones just like the US. That said, I’m not expecting Ellie to immediately know that. There’s no reason for her to. My point was simple: I’m puzzled-but not bothered-by whatever method she used to get the disparate time zones not clearly stating that Canada has multiple time zones. That’s literally all.
Get some rest, my friend. Maybe it’ll make more sense when you look at it some other time. Then again, it might not. Doesn’t matter.
Even (was it Kate?) UNIT doesn't know about us in N. America 😂 In one episode (was it Legend of Ruby Sunday?), someone from Unit said (about 3pm in Britain), "It'll be 10am in America."

@@lexruptorWhy annoyed at a long-accepted way of saying times?
@@DrWhoFanJ, Hi again.
Confused because leaving out “past” is long-accepted in the UK but, apparently, not in the USA.
As an Aussie with English grandparents, even I have to think for a sec. Well, half a sec.
Who Culture on point again 🙌🏾👏🏼
As an Australian, I am very displeased by this. I see many comments about Australian and Canadian time zones being neglected but I think that are failing to realise that it was just a rough idea of when the episode would broadcast in different regions.
My issue (and I'm American) is that the way it was worded was very UK and America centric, especially since she mentions all 5 of the (main) continental US time zones [The U.S. actually has 3 more time zones, { Alaska has the Alaska Time zone (UTC − 9 h). while The Aleutian Islands, a chain of volcanic islands extending southwest from the Alaska Peninsula, are in the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone (UTC − 10 h)), and at least 1 state (Arizona) doesn't follow DST. So I can see not trying to give all the outliers;, but if you're going to name the mainland U.S. time zones, it would have been polite to say that Canada shares major time zones with the U.S. (knowing that both U.S. and Canadian citizens are used to adjusting from PT/ET. Just as I'm not sure why she mentions Germany, but ignores the rest of Europe. It all feels a bit arbitrary that way. Not as much a critique as it is just feedback that it felt wierd.
@@CatDeville mentioning outliers would be pointless as the selections were based on prominent demographics

The War Games is pretty epic, but with a lot of slow parts. Consider it's a 10x25 minutes serial. But seeing the Second Doctor, who influenced SO MANY after him.. that's priceless if you've never seen him before.
I’m scared they cut too much. Is basically less than 4-episodes long now. But I’ll wait the result to judge.
@@doctortwo9125 The Daleks edit doens't bode well for War Games. There was one core moment to the Daleks story - Barbara, Ian and the Dr working through and up to the confrontation with the pacifists Thals about having something to fight for - and the idiot that edited the Daleks butchered that - to save a whopping 90 seconds. When you can do something that cack-handed, you can pretty much screw up any edit.
I had a giggle that Canada and Australia now have one time zone.
At the same time I am also baffled by folks that have such a hard time figuring out what time something is in their time zone from UTC.
Flat earthers are REALLY confused 😕
Consider that not everyone sees time in UTC then converts, but rather just sees time in their own timezone by default, and would then have to reverse engineer that to UTC to figure it out. It's not particularly baffling.
UTC is UK time, as we are the centre of the time zones
Merry WhoMas!! Cannot wait for the Christmas special
I think 12 had good reason for showing his struggle against outside forces and his inner darkness. He was so emotionally invested in Clara (memory carry over from the time 11 spent with her), so it was cathartic for him (and us) to witness what he was thinking and feeling. 12 is my favorite so far.
Yaayyy, you mentioned us here in Germany, whohoooo!!!! 🎉
3:15 I think this criticism can only really be applied to his first series. He's undeniably much lighter for much of Series 9 and 10, with moments of darkness. You can't tell me he wasn't utterly spine-chilling at the end of Face The Raven/beginning of Heaven Sent.
4:58 I'd rather have the LONG overdue Series 10 soundtrack first, actually.

Mate, 4 o'clock in the morning release time isn't a problem. It just means it's available as soon as you wake up.

@getmotivated1707 I think the OP was referring to the fact that, due to who primarily financed the production of it (the BBC alone), neither the Doctor Who Proms nor the colorisation of The War Games are part of the deal for DW stuff on Disney+. Just like how the Tales of the TARDIS episodes were BBC/iPlayer only. Those of us who use D+ to watch Who will, of course, still get to see Joy to the World.
I don't think A Doctor's personality can be "too far". I think while each Doctor is the same person, each regeneration has its own base personality, whether that's stand-offish, cheeky, affable, grumpy, whatever. This allows for those moments of "otherness" to shine and remind the viewer that they ARE the Doctor, no matter what they look like.
Is it called "Boxing Day" because that's the day when everyone starts fighting over their gifts? ;-P

11 was the one that forgets
12 was the one that remembered

12’s arc was different from the others. 12 started with a mean, off putting demeanor, but over the arc of the show, this all changed. The steel was still there, but the passion and love for the world shown through too. Each Doctor has to use the previous as a jumping off point. 15 started optimistic…I’m sure they will harden a bit as time goes by.
I am very glad that the UK is not getting it at such a horrible time, and I'm equally as glad that we're getting it a little earlier in the day here in the USA. Now my daughter and I can comfortably watch it before my whole family gets here for Christmas dinner..🎅🏻🎄
What hurt season one, (a good bit) was the midnight release.
and to Elli's point, i felt no excitment when it came to release day.
there was not point in getting exicted cause there was NOTHING speical about watch a new episode.
As aposed to a set time, the antisipation, hope of a great story and having another adventure with a hero or two.
I had more anntisipation for the 13th doctor's epsidoes even though they turn out to be Eastenders in space!
It's good they're making sure the British audience can have Doctor Who at that time, but hopefully it's not too bad for audiences elsewhere. It's hard to figure out the issues with timing!
Excellent jumper!
Soundtracks…Series 10???? This is the soundtrack is all I want for Christmas!
Canada is a continent-wide country with at least five time zones corresponding with the 4 continental US zones and Atlantic time in the Maritimes (GMT -4)
Plus Newfoundland time, which is 1/2 hour ahead of Atlantic time.

A mean doctor makes me think of Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor. He wasn't a bad person but he could often be pretty mean, specially in the earlier episodes. He kind of soften up a bit later on. I'd love to see a mean Colin-esque Doctor!

I’m still confused about War Games Color stating they have the missing regeneration scene of Doctor 2 for the first time added. My Blu Ray has the regeneration scene. Or am I missing something?
There hasn’t been a BD release of that season yet.
There wasn’t a regeneration scene in the story. We see Patrick Troughton getting further away from us at the end, then Jon Pertwee falls from the TARDIS near the start of the next story. The actual transition was never seen (because Jon hadn’t been cast when the scene was being filmed).
(And it’s _The War Games_ and Colour.)
@@DrWhoFanJ War Games Color is fine for me thanks. In Germany we have a limited media book and I thought it was Blu Ray but it is still

Wow. Looks like much of the UK will be having a very Doctor Who Christmas.
Guess I will just have to be content watching the Christmas Special on Disney+, on Boxing Day, and just be sad that I don’t get the Proms, or The War Games, here in Australia.
Oh, don’t forget that NZ is even further ahead, time-wise, so they will get it ~5:00 am, Boxing Day…
The midnight releases worked well for us on the other side of the world, as we got to watch them at a respectable hour. People on your side of the world then had the choice of staying up and watching it, or watching it later, at a more respectable hour. Don’t want spoilers? Stay off the Internet. Read a book instead, if it matters that much to you.
And, finally, I would debate that the UK has the biggest demographic of people watching Doctor Who. It was as much of an institution here in Australia, and NZ, and I would bet that we had an equal, or greater, share of our populations who watched the show. No idea how things stack up, now that it is only available behind a paywall, but us diehard fans are still around.
Oh, and for the record, this 55 yo male did/ would get up to watch new Doctor Who when it is released, regardless of the time of day, or night…
Cheers,
Doctor Who consistently topped the top of the TV broadcasts in the UK at its height, so I’d dispute your dispute, and to be honest I don’t think it matters. The BBC license fee is a legal requirement to pay, and while we are forced to fund these types of productions (I would choose to pay for Doctor who but that’s a separate point), we should get it at a time that suits us, as we simply don’t get a choice to pay for it, you do.
C@@zaandros
Culturally speaking. Did an entire generations of kids in the UK watch Doctor Who 4 to 5 afternoons a week, for 10 months of the year.
And as it was shown on our national broadcaster. (ABC). We also didn't have a choice on paying for it. It was fully funded by Australian Tax payers
Agree with everything you said. But didn't you have a little bit of disappointment, of not being able to watch actually ON Christmas Day, for the first time ever.
@@claire--5554 unfortunately, it isn’t the first time. Have had to watch a couple of Christmas specials on Boxing Day before.
@@zaandros the show used to be broadcast on the Government funded ABC (for almost the past 60 years, mind you). Guess where the funding for the ABC comes from? Australian taxpayers. So every taxpayer was effectively paying for Doctor Who, whether they watched the show or not.

Awww...I saw the thumbnail and thought that the War Doctor was returning. Disappointed.
When Doctor Who ditches the controversial woke BS, then I MIGHT consider coming back to the show. As it is, I haven't seen anything since 'The Starbeast'
Mean? Hello, Colin Baker!
New Wallace and Gromit!!!
I like it when the Doctor goes a little bit Dark, I think those have been some of the best moments, and being able to play that depth was one of the things that really drew me to the Eleventh Doctor. I do think the Twelfth Doctor went a little far in his first series, particularly the first half of his first series, but I think he settled down quite a bit after that. He became a Doctor that showed the important lesson about the different of being Kind, which he was, the Twelfth Doctor was phenomenaly kind, and being nice which he very rarely was.
THANKS for this!!!! I *loved* that Twelve was mean as hell :) I never forgot Clara giving him those cards to read out loud because he had no skill in social cues!!! LOL!!!!
You do know Canada does have 6 time zones? I personally am in Eastern, but generalizing the entire country?
I don't like Chistmas dinner
I fully expect Season 2 to have a simultaneous iPlayer/Disney+ release with a BBC 1 broadcast later in the day like Season 1, whether it's at midnight or another time that's for the BBC and Disney to decide.
Disney will want the episodes to be released at certain time every week. The problem of broadcasting Doctor Who on BBC 1 over the weekend is that it's very hard to have the episodes broadcast at the same time each week for an entire season. IIRC the closest that we have got are Series 1 (all broadcast at 7PM on Saturdays with the exception of The Empty Child) and Series 12 (all broadcast at 7.10PM on Sundays apart from the New Years day broadcast of Spyfall Part 1 and the longer episodes of Spyfall Part 2 and The Timeless Children).
Capaldi was the best
Mean. You mean like Colin Baker?
Don't know what happened to my comment, but it's gone. I remember saying something about leaving the air time at UK standard, we non-UK viewers can wait as we did in years gone by.

We shouldn't have to live the good old days, they should still be happening, the characters just aren't there any more. And don't try telling me we weren't getting a morning drop for streaming.
As a NZ viewer I don't mind the early morning release time because I just watch it with my breakfast and I don't have to worry about spoilers cos I'm asleep and just wait until after I've watched to check my phone
I like that the 11th and 12th were pretty mean with some dark moments, especially with the 12th. It is like he's a mad professor that has an angy outburst on the occasion. If I had to add some relatability and compare those two Doctors to characters from Marvel's Agatha All Along (great series bye the way), the 11th would be Jennifer Kale and the 12th is Lilia Calderu - mainly cause the "Am I Wispy Or An I Kooky" bit.
I am definitely looking forward to Joy To The World, mainly so that I have an excuse to watch Disney+ more that isn't just The Incredibles, or TRON: Legacy, or Big Hero 6... yes, that is the three IPs I have to deal with in video games and yes, Baymax is in Fortnite at the moment. if I had to say one thing about the release date, Boxing Day is going to be full on chaotic for a lot of us including me. I was hoping that my next pay week after next Tuesday was going to be on December 20th but nope... I have to do a BIG grocery shop that will last me for 2 weeks and a few days. I know it sounds morbid, but thank goodness my 20 year old cat Pepper passed away late October. Yes, I am accepting and grieving and I'm TRYING TO GET USE TO BEING ALONE!?

The best solution would be to retcon the 15th Doctor entirely. Even better, retcon everything after Peter Capaldi. Many of you will deny it but Doctor Who is dead. It reeks of the Disney agenda that the US has been fighting against. The show runners have used Doctor Who as platform for their political message an the viewers have had enough. The ratings confirm this fact.
While I'm ranting, I would like to this time no nominate Richard Ayoade as the next Doctor.
I remember when watching was only at a certain time, in a certain country. I was introduced to The Doctor as a native Californian pre-teen living in England in the 60s. Then we went home, and I had to wait till U.S. TV brought the Doctor over (Jon Pertwee, my favorite) but it was only at a certain time. So "you kids" today with the option to watch anytime, and over-'n-over... are SO lucky.
Happy Holidays to all, and as always thank you all so very much for the videos.

Does Capaldi's speach in The Zygon Inversion count as Mean? (Albeit being correct.)
I know the midnight release is a change, but I don't think it's catering to Americans a much as people think. Disney drops all their shows at 12-1am PST. Paramount+ does the same. So it makes sense with their formula to shift it to UTC for a british audience.
I do get it, and I do appreciate that they tailored it to be a midnight release UK vs a midnight release USA to reflect the British production of the show, however I’m still against the midnight release.
Canada has more timezones than the USA. In Canada, 1:10pm Atlantic/9:10am Pacific.
6:26 the reason why it on late is because BBC Four doesn't start broadcasting until 7pm because of CBBC taking up broadcasting frequency
Can't wait for the Christmas special to come out. 🎄 🎅
Nice to see a "simultaneous" release again, although like others I wonder if it's just going to apply to the specials. Most likely that answer is yes. As for Xmas, BAH HUMBUG!
So to clarify for the canadians,
the u.s. timezones apply here
MST will be 1010 am
middle timezone 11:10 am
Ummm, we have multiple time zones here in Australia so maybe if you could please specify which one (I am guessing its Australian Eastern) that would be helpful
It’s Aussie (Edit - Eastern) Daylight savings Time.
3:10 in Brisbane, 4:10 Sydney & Melbourne (& Hobart?), 2:40 NT, 3:10 SA, 1:10 WA.
Or did I just get central & west in the wrong direction?
I’ve now changed them twice & thoroughly confused myself.
Still confused.
They have to abandon the midnight release for this one. How would Santa tune in?!?
12th likes to punch ice 🙃
Agree with you massively about Doctor who at the proms, I saw it in person but am still very much looking forward to seeing it again😮😮😮
Why does it start at 5:10 and not 5? Also does Europe still watch tv? Maybe it's just my circle of people but it seems like everyone gave up cable for streaming.
Many people do.
And it must fit around all the other shows. Not everything is precisely a multiple of 15 minutes.
Love the hat
where is the marketing for this christmas special?
Currently happening. Several interviews in big magazines this week and a trailer is likely coming soon
And, as always, NOTHING on Disney+ until the last possible moment. There should be “Coming soon” trailers.
@@judithstrachan9399 Doctor Who was featured in their recent "Next on Disney+" trailer.
Been nothing on Disney+ for Doctor Who, been promos for lots of their other show to promote Disney but no Doctor Who ever mentioned. I also saw BBC this morning doing a This Christmas promo and loads of shows mentioned, but Doctor Who was never mentioned once
You can't forget the time the doctor when he purposely changed history by saving that astronaut from the flood when she told him she was prepared to die and he told her TIME ANSWERS TO ME FOR I AM A TIME LORD AND AM THE MASTER OF TIME and she says what right does he have to change something set and he growls he could what he wants for he can change whatever he wants for he has no reason not to then he brings her back to earth she looks disappointed and goes inside and ends herself and he gives a primal rageful scream
One odd thought when 15 split the TARDIS , Sutekh was still attached to it ?
Best moment of the doctor going dark to me is when 12 threatens Ashildr
I adopted the Christmas Cracker tradition at our family Christmas Day dinner after having seen the Christmas episode of "The Good Life" ("Good Neighbors" here on American PBS). The hats, jokes, and prizes went over well, as did the tugging/cracking. I seem to see them in more stores every year...
We cant get iplayer in the usa
Which absolutely needs to be rectified ngl
The USA is indeed not in the UK. That is correct. Well done!
@@lexruptorIt really doesn’t.
@@DrWhoFanJIgnore this guy, he's clearly just an entitled Brit trolling.
@@DrWhoFanJIt really really does.
Ellie, I love you make up and blush, wish I could pull that off 😍
Funny to know is Doctor who then Wallace and Gromit thats insane
I agree. I’d have thought W&G should be shown before Doctor. Unless it isn’t for kids any more.
@@judithstrachan9399Wallace and Gromit just for adults would be interesting. Probably see Gromit running around with a gun. 😂
