Doctor Who 2x13 Reaction 

I may have cried...just a little.

In the UK, there are a whole generation of kids who were ten when this came out. They've all just left university, all grown up, but they'll never forget that time that Doctor Who absolutely broke them with Doomsday. It was like a shared experience for the nation's young. Also, this isn't even the hardest the show will ever make you cry. Sorry, Future Shayla!

Get used to crying. Doctor Who does that.

Roses are Red, The TARDIS is Blue, Since it's my last chance to say it, Rose Tyler...

“I’m just gonna go cry for a little bit I’ll be back in a second” *Cuts to more intense crying* favorite reaction to this episode

"this is so bullshit!" yup, we've all been there... rose was most peoples first companion (including mine), so she'll always have a place in many fans hearts. this is absolutely one of the saddest episodes in television for me, but looking forward to your reactions to the show going forward!

Welcome to the club. This episode DESTROYED US ALL. 😭💔

Rose will always be my favorite companion of the Doctor. David and Billie had such great chemistry and their relationship was so amazing

Welcome to the only two consistent themes on this show: change and death. I hope you'll keep reacting though, there's so much to love in every season to come.

Every time a new reactor starts watching Doctor Who I get excited but also a bit sad. Because I know this episode is coming and I know they will cry. The episodes don't get filmed in order so the very last thing David and Billie filmed together was the last scene from Satan's Pit where The Doctor says they are the stuff of legend.

This is why I love David Tennant as the v Doctor. He has great chemistry with all of his co-stars in Doctor Who. Just amazing performamces.

No matter how many times I watch this, I cry EVERY TIME!!!

This was the first time I cried at Doctor Who, and it totally surprised me. I was sat there, engaged, but feeling fairly emotionally detached …until Rose says "I love you!" Then it suddenly burst out of me, tears streaming down my face. I think it was the way she said it - the way it kind of erupted uncontrollably from her. Piper and Tennant are both exceptional actors so that helped too.

Absolutely your best reaction yet..don't give up. Where there's tears there's hope. That's all I'll say.

I love to see honest reactions like this. It means you like the show and are invested. That is good.

I remember when this episode first aired, it really hurt. Doctor Who, at its core, is a show built around change, the showrunners change, the doctor changes, the companions change, the TARDIS changes. You get used to the changes with time and get attached all over again.

The episodes was emotional for me I almost quit the series after that ending but thankfully I stayed in

"I swear to god if they don't say I love you before this episode ends" Honey you've got a big storm coming

I believe Billie had other commitments at the time or was going to so they decided with her to give rose a farewell that whilst she lived was practically impossible to return unless extraordinary circumstances happened which gives both the actor and writers flexibility. but yeah she asked to leave

5:48 I can't tell you how big of an evil smile I just got

Bless you child. I had the same reaction and got choked up watching you get choked up bc I remember how much it hurt. Rose & The Doctor 4everz But dont give up. Keep watching. There are great things ahead

'The Doctor will open the Ark!' 'The Doctor will not.'

Don't stop watching. Trust me.

the music on the beach is amazing and really adds to the scene, how it expands when the doctor disconnects from her universe is just brilliant.

Billie Piper wanted to leave, and do other things. The thing to remember with Doctor Who, (and I've been watching since the 4th Doctor) - the Doctor changes, the Companions change, the other characters change, even the Tardis changes (on the inside at least). And every time, it will break your heart.

An interesting thing to note, that I've never actually seen anyone else pick up on except my dad, was that this ending had some visual foreshadowing in the episode Tooth and Claw. In that episode, the Doctor and the Werewolf (or Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform, if you prefer) are both on opposite sides of a wall, listening to each other. The Doctor is even in pretty much the same pose. The Werewolf of course represents Rose, the Bad Wolf.

10:01 Give her time. She was quite good. "Donna Noble has left the library. Donna Noble has been saved." She also has one distinct positive difference to every other companion, except possibly Rose, which they highlight at the end.

I frequently rewatch your emotional doctor who reactions because apparently I'm a masochist

When I first saw the episode, I was just in shock and in complete denial and sadness at the same time. I was too shocked to cry. The first word I said to the screen was “WHAT?!”

the first big heartbreak in a show of big heartbreaks... this one definitely got me too.

7:14 the exact moment her psyche broke a bit. That's what Doctor Who can do to you.

Your reactions are the best and absolutely mirror my own! I've never cried so much at a TV show than I have at Doctor Who...

Love your genuine reaction at the end.

Aww bless huge hugs, welcome to the whoniverse of tears 😭 😭 this program is a roller-coaster or laughter and tears 😭

Great reaction. Best one yet. Man I love "Doomsday". It delivers every time.

Congratulations...you’ve just experienced one of the most heartbreaking moments in tv history. And yes, we’ve alll been there. If it’s any consolation, Billie Piper was ready to move onto other acting opportunities. Hang in there though- there’s plenty more delights, heartbreaks and moments of redemption that will restore your love of the show.

Awww Shayla! Bless you! It’s nice to see that you appreciated the chemistry between Tennant and Piper. Many fans had the same reaction as you. So many more tears and laughter to come. It is sad to lose Rose as she was the main link remaining from the start but you’ve still got a great journey ahead of you!😊

I miss Rose too. There were a lot of awesome companions (both old and new show) over the time but she is my favorite. I cried too.

this was exactly my reaction except having to pause to BAWL every second

I always felt they should titled this ep heartpunched and gutkicked.

Whenever someone watches this finale, the Kleenex sales triple for a couple of weeks, i don't understand.

"The Angels Take Manhatten" and "The Empty Child" [a two parter] are also great weepies. Both very well written

One of us, one of us! Your hazing is complete. You lost your first doctor, now your first companion.

It's been years since I've seen this episode and guess what? I cried all over again watching you react. I'll NEVER get over it. EVER :'(

The beach that Rose Tyler is standing on I have visited. In the story the beach is supposed to be in Norway. In reality, its real name is Dunraven bay near Southerndown in South Wales. It has appeared on at least 2 occasions with Matt smith's doctor. 1 with river song and the weeping angels and the other with dinosaurs on a Silurian ship. If you ever get a chance to visit the area then there is a public house which serves food in Southerndown village called the 3 golden cups. The last time I was there they had 2 autographed pictures on the wall showing the crew who used to frequent the place during filming.

Every single time I rewatch this episode, or even watch someone react to it like you did, both my hearts break all over again 😭 😭 😭

Genuinely beautiful emotion. I really appreciate your work and your clear love of something that means just as much to myself and so many others. Happy to have you amongst the Whovians.

Seen this episode many times, always tear up. But your reaction made it hit even harder than usual.

Take a deep breath, calm down haha. What a great reaction! This is not the last time you feel like this. It is one of my favorite things about this show, how it can rip your heart out, lol.

Loved this episode so much when I was first saw it at university I dedicated this episode in my thesis. ☺

The series still brings you to tears...

Hello again! (I commented on The End of Time part 2) sooooo for me this is an episode that I can never watch without crying, even though I know what happens so much I could quote scenes by heart. There was a time before Doomsday and a time after Doomsday in my poor Whovian heart. This was traumatic for a 11 or 12 year old (when I saw it aired) 😅😢😭😭😭

my most fave episode ever..I still cry when I watch it..good video

Watching how you said about Donna, that you dont care about her makes me laugh, cause of knowing whats gonna be next XD

I love your reaction videos so much

Watching this made me feel like I was 5 years old watching it for the first time

“THIS IS BULLSHIT” i cant stop laughing at that. I cried just as hard as you

You cried, so it may sound a bit strange, but: What a lovely reaction! :) I like how deep you are into the show and in this case especially Rose (imho the best DW companion of all time). The series 2 finale made me cry too and so did your video now - thanks for that. ^^

This was a great reaction, Shayla. My heart broke for you. Wished I could give you a hug. We all felt the same way at the time too. Still, you have a lot ahead of you to look forward to and I can't wait to see how you feel about those episodes. :) Even if Past Shayla did want to take a long break.

Bless you for crying, and everyone else who cried during this. I’ll keep this short as I can waffle on, I LOVE this show, it helped me when I needed it and it continued to be a big part of my life since I was 12? When it came back, But I completely missed series 1 and 2, started midpoint series 3, And I find tenants run PERSONALLY. The hardest to re-watch thanks to the bit of ‘love story’ but it defo broke people. (The exact reason, I had a friend called Rose, and my then friends would just draw it to doctor who. Every time. And never took it seriously. It’s a bit more complex than that but she was one of the first people I actually cared about...) But watching the reactions - I’ll be honest, I had a few tears already so You beat me haha, P.S. (I wasn’t originally gonna say this) but you look like a twin of a friend/former co-worker, in the way you talk, the only difference is voice, she has a higher pitched voice and a lisp (at least, with no offence, a harsher one than you might hear someone have) ...Come to think of it, she’s the only person I know with a lisp... Secretly I don’t have a sister who I might know? :D I’m just making that cannon for my own sanity. All the Best Stasis

I remember watching this on tv as a child. It was extremely sad. But now at 29, after experiencing some very heartbreaking relationships and knowing how this feels. This rips my soul clean out.

Me, a Veteran Whovian, long-since accustomed to the roller coaster and knowing what's coming: *Can't stop laughing at the feels trip Shayla's having! Even though it makes her feel bad for doing so* ALSO Me: *CRIES ALL OVER AGAIN* OH RIGHT BAD WOLF BAY 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 Don't worry, the show just gets better and better! I know it hurts, now, and it's DEFINITELY gonna hurt in the future, but you will love EVERY MINUTE OF IT, and even if there is a season or two that you don't like much, just stick with it, because just like life, this show is about the ups and downs and having hope and courage and loving people with everything you've got, platonically AND romantically, and even learning to love yourself, no matter how much you don't think you can. We're in the middle of series 11 right now, and even though it went through some rough patches for me in series 8, I held on, and it got better, and I am STILL feeling absolute mountains of love for this series! It's really something special, and after a while, you'll get used to the way you have to learn to say Good Bye to someone you've learned to love EVERY SEASON, and how you just KNOW it's going to break you when you do, but you won't regret it ONE BIT! I'll give Doctor Who one thing; it's that show that you know you can go back to whenever you're having a day where you just need a good, hard cry, because you'll have about 15 episodes that are guaranteed to make you cry out every last drop of water in your 75%-water human body. And you will LOVE IT. Now. I've heard there are feels happening in tonight's episode, and I wasn't able to watch it before work, so I think I'll go watch LAST WEEK'S episode a few more times until this one drops into my amazon prime account. 😆 I don't know if I'm ready or not. Ps: You will learn to care about Wedding Dress Woman VERY SOON. She's no Rose Tyler, but she is just as brilliant for her own reasons! 😉 Everyone needs someone like her in their life, especially the Doctor!

Believe me, this was a sad episode and a emotional goodbye for Rose. But, this is only the beginning. This show is such an emotional rollercoster. This is definitely up there as one of the saddest moments in this show but probably not the most for me personally. Whenever Companions and Doctors especially leave it's emotional and everyone will say I don't wanna go on but you'll love all of the companion's and doctors to come and be just as sad when you lose them too. That's one of the best and beautiful thing about this show. Really looking forward to your future doctor who reactions and hope you still enjoy the rest of the show

Loved that little wink with the doomsday 😂

As a lifelong viewer of Doctor Who (I grew up watching the original series on PBS from age 10 onwards) this happens a lot. Companions come and go, Doctor's come and go, one of the constants is change.

Okay big comment coming up. I’m actually pretty glad you took a break. I don’t know how far into season 3 you are so I’ll refrain from saying any spoilers. When I first watched this I pretty much binged all of NuWho and never took a break even between big emotional episodes like this one. In hindsight I should have even though I always get impatient when I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Rose was my first companion and will always hold a special place in my heart. I was a wreck after this episode too and just jumped into the next season without having a “grieving period”. That caused me to have my love for Rose get in the way of liking the next companion. It became an issue again with a future doctor. I guess my point is this: try not to let your love for one character get in the way of you liking another. Don’t know if that will be a problem for you but just wanted to give my perspective as someone who watched all of NuWho in a very short amount of time. Sorry for the long comment I’ll shut up now.

14 years later and this still breaks me...

You cried just as much as I did the first time 😭 Billie Piper did indeed choose to lose the show. Her reasoning is she didn’t want to get too comfy in that position because she loved it so much. Honestly, after this episode I boycotted the show for like a few years before I finally tried season 3 😭

“I don’t give a fuck about you” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's my headcanon that Bad Wolf stepped in for a second to stop the doctor from finishing that sentence, because it wasn't time for goodbye yet.

She did choose to leave the show voluntarily. She left the show to do the show called Diary Of A Call Girl.

Ooooo yeah, I remember watching this for the first time too 😭

I didn't see many comment about her choice in leaving. It's said that it was her choice. Though at the time she was going through a divorce with a tv show personality she said it was ultimately a career move. Most people choose not to stay too long on Dr Who because they're worried about being type cast. It's such a huge show that it's all their ever going to be known for. I see their point but personally, I say own up to it! Let it ride!!! If you're the best at something and that something is the best of its kind then beat that horse dead. Or at least til it's starting to limp.

I watched the first few seasons of doctor who probably when I was at my most hormonal and emotional age, and I think I cried at nearly every single episode of the first 3 seasons lol. I definitely cried the hardest at this season tho.

Lmaoo your reaction was so relatable

I understand your pain, this episode crushed me as well. To think that the crying will come back...

You: i swear... if they don't say "i love you"... Me: quite right. Man, its really true... This episode breaks everyone.

Again, I'm from the future so am very glad to know you didn't stop watching! Neither am I, I hope @3pharaohstowers (Legend!) playlist I'm using includes ALL your you tube Who reactions, another brilliant one, onwards I go! :)

Great reaction, you are really sympathetic :D I literally had the same reaction as you, I felt like I wanted to stop watching the show, after they separated. You really have to keep watching it though, even if your heart is going to break every now and then :)

That is a proper reaction to this episode!

RU-vid is so fickle, you are now my favorite doctor who reactor, thank you. The journey is going to a whooper.

I feel your pain, girl. No matter how many times I've seen this episode, it breaks me every time.

same reaction i still have to that lol, she doesnt leave though, the dr has alot of friends

This is the correct response to this episode.

Yeah. Doctor Who will legitimately fuck you up sometimes. I’d recommend a box of tissues be present when watching any episodes. Also about Billie Piper, it was a planned departure and don’t worry, we will see the effects of her exit throughout the coming seasons and I really recommend you continue since the next 2 seasons will 100% blow your mind more than this season

The finale that ripped our collective hearts out and curbed stomped them. Also, being the Doctor’s Companion is a hazardous occupation. You've probably figured that out by now.

Oh boy, I'm not sure if I'm ready to watch this scenes again hahahahah I remember the first time I watched it, the episode ended and I just cried for 30 minutes straight

Aaah - hugs from all your Dr Who fans - we're there with you!

I'm not sure why Billie Piper left, whether at her request or because the producers wanted a new direction. What you should be reassured about is that Billie has gone on to have an amazing career both in television and on stage where she has won many awards for her work. This is all pretty amazing considering she had almost no acting experience before being cast in Doctor Who. Those who are old enough might remember her previous career as a pop singer (performing simply as 'Billie') an endeavour in which she also enjoyed considerable success; her first single debuted at number 1 in the UK charts when she was just 15--the youngest ever to do so. Anyone interested in seeing Billie in her former incarnation will find many videos here on RU-vid including that first single, "Because We Want To'.

Hello Shayla. You should've gotten some tissues. Rose is gone, but at least we got a Bride. What?

the song DOOMSDAY in the end when she fly trough it is the best music in tv history for me

idgaf about you-2 seasons later, NO Donna! you can't leave!

For me this is the second best chemistry of any pairing in New Who (Tennant and Piper). There is one other pairing which I think has slightly better chemistry - and is equally as sad when it ends.... I don't want to say anything more than that. But you WILL enjoy it again! I promise! And even though the episodes go on without Rose, I think Season 3 and 4 are better written seasons than 1 and 2, so you have some great writing to look forward to. :)

This was extraordinary, welcome to "Doctor Who", where the crying doesn't get any easier

Imagine if Billie kept her fingers crossed while reading the script and when she found out about the ending...

Yep, it got me again lol. I'm glad you're sticking with it. The ending was so sad, but to answer your question, as with everything DrWho, never say never. To quote a certain Pete Tyler, you can trust me on this ;)

So who else wants to give the end of the episode Shayla a big hug and tell her it will all be ok... Shayla, you have so much empathy, I do too so I feel your pain... crying over fictional characters... I mean everytime I hear or read "Dobby is a free elf" I lose it....

The start of waterfalls of tears brought on by doctor Who, get the big boxes in, because it's the emotional roller coaster, the best is yet to come. Wait till "when the doctor was me"

There have been like FORTY companions since 1963. Everyone goes through this. Great stuff is to come, especially season 4. Yes Bilie wanted off the show, and went on to do other high profile stuff here. BTW There are other actors coming you might recognise from stuff (like John Barrowman) which will be cool.

Her: “I swear to god if they don’t say they love each other…” Me: 😬😬yeah about that
