Doctor Who | Reaction | 4x11 | Turn Left | We Watch Who 

One of my absolute favorite episodes. Wilf crying as the people are being taken away and saying "it's happening again" was so heart breaking

And once again Bernard Cribbins shows how much of a national treasure he is

That scene with the family being taken away is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Who (and that's setting a high bar with this show). It's the cheerfulness of the dad trying to keep everyones' spirits up just a little longer even though he knows what's coming. I'm getting myself choked up just writing that...

There's a reason I love Donna so much. She's basically me, only louder and with a British accent. I've loved most of the Doctor's companions, but she's the one I relate to the most. And let me tell you, this episode is always a punch in the feels.

Back in Fires of Pompeii the soothsayer told Donna that she had something on her back. Great reaction. Can't wait for next week.

"It's too real. The world is sh*t." I hear you, Paula. I hear you. This is one of my favourite episodes of Who ever. Tennant's slow dawning realisation that Donna's talking about Rose gives me chills, and the Italian guy trying to keep everyone's spirit up as he's sent away to a labor camp just absolutely shatters my heart every time. The whole thing is a masterpiece.

I always wondered if the home that Donna stayed at in Leeds was the same home that Martha stopped at in her quest around the World with Lucifer in last seasons finale......one of those this home is always a safe-haven thing.

What US viewers probably don't appreciate - the newscasters that intermittently appear are actual BBC newsreaders doing cameos (just the cherry on an amazing episode).

Welcome to one of the finest episodes ever written, topped only by Tate’s performance. Stunning.

Fires of Pompeii: "There's something on your back!" :)

A Doctor Who Elseworlds story, and it's pretty damn good. It shows precisely why the world needs the Doctor but also why the Doctor needs the world, in the form of his human companions because there are countless disasters he would have walked himself into by now. This theme will be deplored later on in the Specials but this does a great job of showing what the consequences of the world would be without these necessary partnerships, and how important Donna is. And the best part is that it's only part one of three!

I'd also be that angry if I had to move to Leeds. I love how unambiguously Russel just vents on places he finds uninteresting.

The actor who plays the fellow refugee in Leeds with his family, and then carted off to a labour camp - his performance was so special - the scene with him and Wilf at the end - God they really sold that, both of them. Great reaction as always - very entertaining.

I love how this episode is all about how the tiniest actions can have massive ripple effects, the butterfly effect. It really goes to show just how important the Doctor really is and how horrible a world- no a universe it would be without him. It also emphasises yet again how important it is for the Doctor to not be alone. It's quite shocking to realise that after losing Rose, the Doctor was willing to let himself die while drowning the Racnoss. The Doctor needs someone and Donna was there at the right place and at the right time. His companions keep him balanced, but at the same time he opens their eyes to new horizons, improves their lives and helps them grow as a person in so many ways. Just look at where Rose is now compared to where she was when we met her at the start of series one! He's done the same thing for Donna, remember her in "The Runaway Bride". Donna needs the Doctor just as much as he needs her because he's given her a purpose. Without that Donna still wouldn't see herself as anything special. She'd be left behind and always end up feeling like "just a temp". You come to realise in this episode that all the attitude and back talk is just a cover up and a way for her to hide her insecurities. Tthe feeling that she's let everyone in her life down, especially her mother. Which brings me to the great development Donna's family gets in this episode. You really get to know the Nobles in this episode, they feel like a proper family and you connect to them all. Especially Wilf who's just outstanding in this episode. He gets one of the most powerful moments in this episode, when the Italian (I think) family is being taken away... "it's happening again".... The character work in this episode is just masterful. The cliffhanger leading into the finale is also absolutely brilliant, Tennant isn't in this episode much but he certainly makes his mark at the end! II can't wait for the finale!!

After Paula was saying that she was having a hard time handling the last few episodes I had a mini evil laugh and knew this would be a good reaction.

I never noticed until this reaction that David Tennant's last line, "The end of the universe!" sounds VERY Scottish.

Also, she was in the final episodes of Martha's series, she was the bug girl, Chan DOH.

Wow I love this episode. Catherine Tate really can act, and she got to show off in this one. And of course that last scene is one of the most dramatic ones in the series. the music (I think All the Strange Strange Creatures...?) plus the expressions of the characters is SO GOOD.

Oh I've been waiting for this reaction for so long and it didn't disappoint. Poor Paula, thinking she's watching a kids sci-fi tv show little knowing it just tears at your heart strings. Much hugs to you both.

I've been waiting for this episode all season. It's one of the best Donna episodes and one of the most memorable episodes of Tennant's entire tenure.

Oh Paula, you have such a big heart. I just hope it's strong enough for what's to come!

Paula: there's something on your back!👍👍

Always enjoy spotting the foreshadowing references Katrina puts into half the things she says :p

Fun fact, the was a sort of connection episode to The Sarah Jane Adventures. The woman who put the beetle on Donna’s back is a follower of The Trickster, an alien who appears in that show

13:20 You wanna know why this hurts so much? Because all too often we ourselves feel this way. Sometimes the world even tries to tell us we don't matter. And we believe it because we have this powerful and evil voice inside telling us that the world is right. I bet both of you have way to often this feeling that something you did is not good enough, that *YOU* are not good enough. Sadly that's how a lot of creative and especially empathic people feel. You probably don't even realize how much a "silly" little youtube show could mean to someone. Well it does mean something. It actually means a lot. To a lot of people. Myself included. Sorry for the rant... and the English. ^^

Thats the thing about time travel. We only see it for ten minutes but the Bad Wolf thing could echo forever. She could have traveled a million places and times before she rocked up and disintegrated the Daleks.

Welcome back Rose Tyler you magnificent badass b**ch!

This episode is the reason Donna wasn't in Midnight, as well as why Midnight was mostly the one set with very few visual effects. To get 14 eps (13 + Christmas special) out of a 13-ep production period and budget , they filmed the inexpensive Midnight at the same time they filmed this episode, using two crews.

I feel guilty for the stuff we're putting Paula through 😢 but then we went through all these feels before and again now with her!

I'm with Paula. This episode is too much. I always lose it at the labor camps.

Paula's face for the ENTIRE EPISODE. So much stress radiating through the screen!!!

Doctor Who in the morning and Star Trek: TNG in the evening. You two ladies make my Friday. Have you ever thought of reacting to a series you were both new to. I'd love to see you react to "Red Dwarf". Something that borrows a lot from both of the shows you love.

Those two words, Bad Wolf

The Journey's End approaches...

Shout out for the cloister bells! First appearance in the modern series I believe!

The scene of the italyan refugee always makes me cry

Paula crying is all of us. It does indeed hurt.

Poor Paula seems so shattered by the end of the video, I just want to give her a hug.

Brilliant reactions, I was in tears myself, watching your reactions to this episode.

Paula needs a hug!

Such a good way to end a busy week.

This is the Doctor Who version of Crisis On Infinite Earths

ALL the hugs to you both. 💙💙

One of my favorite episodes of this season! Really well done.

The thing that makes this episode so strong is that it proves how good of a character Donna is, regardless of the Doctor. I very much doubt that the Rose we saw in episode one would have been willing to sacrifice herself in this way but regardless of the Doctor’s influence, Donna was always a person willing to do the right thing with more to her than just a temp or a shouty accent.

Hang in there, Paula. There won't be another stretch of episodes quite as gut-wrenching as the last few.

Another of my favorite episodes. It is just brilliant. What more can I say? Except "Bad Wolf..."

This and the next few episodes are some of the best in the entire franchise's history. I won't spoil why but this episode alone is epic. The dark side of the Whoniverse is something which has come up quite a few times, including in Torchwood. Speaking of which, I loved the little Torchwood theme when Rose talks about them. I also loved the mention of Sarah Jane Smith and her team from their own spin-off show.

It really makes you think: How would things have been different if the Doctor kept pictures of previous companions around? Then later companions would know when they met them. ;)

I said it in another coment but... Both Tennant and Tate are great at comedy, but when things get serious they are beasts!

Remember the Fires of Pompeii? The Soothsayer told Donna that there was something on her back, and told the Doctor that "she is returning"

Thank you again for making my Friday.

Young Ladies, things are about to get.... EPIC!

So emotional this episode stuck in my head asking what if some of my decisions could be swapped around where would I be today mind-blowing. One decision I'm glad subscribing to gallifrey girls

Oh Wow! I just realised... 2020 is our version of this episode!!!!! :O

Oh my gosh the next two episodes are AMAZING

Doctor Donna... Rose😉

and THIS...is to combat dehydration.

I found you folks mostly by accident and you have proven to be one of my favorite Who reactors, hands down. Keep up the brilliant work. Your videos really do make my day better.

😍 I can't wait to see your reaction to the next episode

maniacal laugh for the win. lol Love this episode! The D.D. !

This is another reason why series 4 is my favourite series. The last four episodes are some of the strongest episodes of Who. Russel was always subtle with the foreshadowing. Like Bad Wolf, Torchwood, Vote Saxon and Rose. But what makes series 4 special is the small easy to miss stuff like "Theres something on your back" in Fires of Pompeii. Can't mention more because spoilers but Rose is the big clue that things are really bad. I can't wait for the last two episodes it's going to be one hell of a ride.

13:25 - *Paula: “That hurts.” Katrina: “It **_hhhhuurrrrrts…”_* See, Paula is talking about _this_ episode, but Katrina knows what's coming.

The Fortune Teller must work for Breitfart when she tells Donna to *Turn Right*

Mind blown from the last few episodes? Well, hold on to your butts, it’s time to Turn Left.

Jan' Where oh where do I know her from? 'Doh.... Jan' I just can't put my finger on it... 'Doh

Maybe it's the fact that this episode received one of Doctor Who's highest Appreciation Scores Maybe it's all those references to previous episodes (1x12 Bad Wolf, 3x00 Runaway Bride, 3x01 Smith and Jones, 4x00 Voyage of the Damned, 4x01 Partners in Crime, 4x02 Fires of Pompeii, 4x04 The Sontaran Strategem), that reward the long term fans Maybe it's the reminder of how easy it is for anyone of us from losing our livelihoods Maybe it's the reminder that no matter how rich we are, we are all only a couple of bad decisions away from destitution Maybe it's the return of everyone's favourite companion Maybe it's the references to all the spinoffs (the Torchwood jingle, the Trickster's Brigade) Maybe it's the reminder of how authoritarian oppression can flourish (and wane) in the wake of national disasters Maybe it's the chilling return of the concentration camps of history (Auschwitz, Isle of Man, today's ICE prisons) Maybe it's because of the best acting performances by Catherine Tate & Bernard Cribbins Maybe it's the ease with which this episode triggers all the closet racist a-holes of the alt right Maybe it's the episode's Hugo Nomination but this may be my favourite episode of the revival. PS. if you get time to return to this episode, watching the "Next Time" trailer is totally worth it. It's one of the best of the entire show.

I like the tribute to "Life is Beautiful".

Katrina. I don't know how to tell you girls this, BUT. I saw a shadow moving behind you. Could it have been the Vashta Nerada. Do either of you have two shadows? Paula. Whit, I'm Scottish, you said, 'The World is sh...', Sh... what?

"WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS BAD WOLF?!?" - Donna "It's the end of the universe." - The Doctor Must be a day that ends in "Y".

Best episode of the series in my opinion, love alternate timeline stuff.

Paula, I warned you about this! Should have brought some tissues. The only thing I can say about the next two episodes is... EPIC!!!

Yeah. Without looking it up, I'm pretty sure it's the Chan-tho actor too.

U guys emotional reactions are too much!(in a good way obv) love your who reactions! Showing paula sum iconic classic who eps wud b simply amazin!!

I remember a sci-fi kids show I watched like 20 years ago... "Halfway across the galaxy and turn left." I wonder if this was a little reference. Wikipedia says its about (alien) children geting to much responsibility and finding their place in the world. Not sure about that reference.

Donna's Mother always riled me, how could you be so dismissive of your own child?

Can we please get these videos more often

Ok so I finally caught one of these on upload again after ages of personal stuff getting in the way. Firstly, great reaction guys, love it, as always, thoughtful conversations all round. On the episode itself, love it. SPOILERS(ish) I don't consider it a part of the finale even though it flows in directly, purely cos it doesn't have to do with those villains specifically (at least not directly).

Katrina looks away from the more intense scenes. She's a Whovian through and through.

I fucking love Rose in this episode she's very doctor like in this. I love billie piper. Also can we talk about the fact if Donna hadn't been there to stop the doctor he would have just died and that was the same time he lost rose :( Makes it so much sadder. also Donna and Rose's chemistry is amazing. I always comment on Tennant's acting in the scene when he hears bad wolf. You can see about 1000 different emotions in one face it's fucking amazing.

A Doctor lite episode, with my favourite, and least favourite, modern companions...recipe for disaster? No, it is amazing, just magnificent. Rose and Donna are incredible, and so good together! And bonus Chan Tho too 😀 Also, this episode retrospectively makes one of my least favourite episodes, Runaway Bride, actually quite good. Almost. Well, if not good, at least important.

This is my favorite episode... at least of the Davies/Tennant era. I love stories about what would have happened if something had changed.

Also great work yet again gals Ps love this episode

This is where it gets complicated

Will Katrina ever be able to look at Wilf without getting emotional? :D

The fortune teller played chan tho in utopia

I have never seen these two so quiet!

This story, the last before the finale, leaves you an emotional wreck. This is on purpose. It is structured like so to make the thrills of the season finale (going from the lowest of lows, to the thrillingest of thrills) that much more rollercoaster-y. Buckle up.

People get proper into Doctor Who they don’t even get changed 😉 lol

this is by far my favourite episode of doctor who, specials excluded

The best is still yet to come but keep some Kleenex handy, especially you Paula. ❤

Love you two, but please figure out your camera focus issues. Perhaps more light to cause the camera to iris down to a higher f-stop. Or if you can, use manual focus and set and forget.

One thing Ive never understood is why that fortune teller at the beginning did what she did. why was she malicious and why did she want the world to change for the worse? nothing was said of it and there was no indication she was working for someone

Everyone in this episode acted their asses off, especially Catherine Tate.

So Chantho turned evil? Too much time with the Master...

:''(

I was kinda expecting a reaction to all the stars going out, but whatever.

Those faces on that screenshot...yikes

"It's actually happening right now" OKAY bet you weren't complaining when Obama was doing it.

u are one of teh last shows on this channel i can watch :) the tv's in the background destroying all other shows i hope u never do this :)
