Doctor Who Season 4 Episode 10 "Midnight" REACTION! 

Extra upload! :) What'd you think of this episode? I thought it was brilliant. To watch the next episode RIGHT NOW, UNEDITED up to 6X6 ► www.patreon.com/failwhale34

For me, this beats blink in terms of creepiness. And I am happy that we have never found out what the monster/entity was, which makes it even more scary.

I always thought this episode was scarier than the previous one The whole speaking at the same time as everyone else TRAUMATISED me as a kid!

09:56 Anyone ever noticed that when the Doctor knocked 4 times, the thing outside only knocked back 3 times, like, as if it were aware that the "4 knocks" were already booked by someone else, somewhere, sometime, but not this day. Btw, it's funny you asked for Dona to have an emotinal break in the previous reaction, and in this episode she spends the whole time relaxing in a luxury space SPA. What a coincidence !!!

I saw this episode staged as a play. The single location worked very well and the woman who played Skye definitely was great. I would love for this role be a role that all actresses want to play.

what a creepy episode. i remember watching this when it first came out. i was scared all day lol

I love how upset the older woman gets when she says ‘she’s got my voice, she’s got my words’ it’s so creepy as a concept to think all control of your voice can just be stolen from you

Hands down, probably the best monster in DW. Even more sinister than Vashta Nerada Btw, it wasn't Rose knocking. It was the Midnight Creature. Rose was only seeing the Doctor through the screen.

This one was very interesting and clever, but it's so intense I can't watch it very often. I love him at the end, "No, don't do that." It really hit him hard.

Not sure if you realised but the hostess only knew it was still in Sky because she started using his terminology like 'allon-sy' and 'molto bene'

I think that this is the only time where the doctor genuinely lost, without a plan or without reliable backup. The only people who could save him were the same ones that wanted to throw him out, he survived purely by chance here

Just love it when you get excited at the little Rose teasers.

Dude. Watch Merlin. Your next react, a BBC show called Merlin. You'll recognise the kid, Jeffro from it

Midnight is my most favourite episode in the whole of new who - it puts the Doctor in a place of confusion and with all his intelligence he had no idea how to handle the situation, he had no idea what "it" was and we still don't know.

Being a Wannabe horror writer I love watching Blink & Midnight. Midnight is very clever because The Entity only had to cause a little bit of Fear to turn up the tension but it was enough make the group afraid so the tension escalates and the group carry the conflict that's when it starts rebounding between the two until the end.

Aw, man! This is one of my all time-favourites! I'd put it easily in the top ten. Classic Twilight Zone stuff. The Doctor has always won through on persuading others to do the right thing and employing words and ideas to win the day. In Midnight he's a man who knows nothing about the threat that faces him, has terrified companions he's never met before who are ready to distrust anyone who imposes upon them and is robbed even of his power to communicate - the method he almost always uses to win the day. This is an episode where the Doctor doesn't even win the day - somebody else figures it out, and we never find out her name. Unlike with the Doctor, the poor lady is never even asked what her name is. Low budget in the traditional episode ten way of Nu-Who, this is just spell-binding through the tension generated by the fraught acting, pressure-cooker scenario and the threat being unlike anything else he's ever face before. I also admire the way it strips away as many future trappings as it can (the passengers dress like us, speak like us, live like us) so there are no barriers to our placing ourselves in their shoes. I only wish it were ten minutes longer for pacing reasons - other than that, great stuff. And the next episode is one of my favourites too! Man, what a rush Season 4 is!

I think one of the most interesting things about this episode is the characters of Jethro and DeeDee. Both of them face constant criticism from the major authority figures in their lives, and react to it in completely different ways. Jethro slowly has his independence and free thought crushed by his parents, through means of harsh criticism and fear, until at the end, even though he clearly doesn't think it is the right thing to do, and is struggling with it, he bends to his parents will, and helps to throw the doctor out. Deedee on the other hand starts of thinking very limitedly, but over the course of the episode, changes and becomes more independent from Professor Hobbes. However, even with her newfound independence, she doesn't have the strength to oppose him in throwing out the Doctor, so just stands and reacts. I feel like Jethro and Deedee were both trying to be decent people, and were placed in an awful situation, who chose to comply with the authorities rather than make a stand. “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” - John Stewart Mill

The guy sat behind the Dr. Is David Troughton the son of Patrick Troughton who played the Dr in the 60s

This is one of my favourite episodes (maybe even my favourite) and I loved(!!!) your reaction. Loved the shots of you just silently looking delighted by what was happening. I also really liked how you got what the episode was trying to do. It's about mob mentality and how any pretence of humanity disappears when people become afraid.

The Midnight Entity is feeding off of fear is actually a really good theory

The Doctor be sus Midnight is Among Us' test run

No lie, this is one of my favorite episodes for the writing and the production value. I've heard that shooting that much in a tiny room even drove the actors nearly crazy. Fantastic psychological thriller.

Terrifying fun fact: when the engineer thinks he can see the shadow, you actually see it, when it pans to their heads looking out while the alarms are on look slightly to the right of the guy on the lefts head and you’ll see a shadow jump down.

The real monster in this episode wasn’t the midnight creature. It was human fear.

21:14 let's talk about how talented David is

This episode is a lot better than I remember, it keeps you on edge and it focuses more on the nature of humans rather than the alien itself

Annnnd DING! He's officially hooked! You need to change your channel title to "The Birth of A Whovian!" It's a beautiful thing to watch.

STILL is apart of my TOP 10 for NuWho! This was the best reaction to this episode I’ve ever seen.

As other people have mentioned, this episode also really highlights why the Doctor should travel with someone. They are much better at calming scared impulsive people.

One of the best and scariest episodes! The thought that this alien could be around us literally all the time is terrifying

Glad I'm not the only person who thinks the music is bloody terrifying

this episode always makes me so anxious and mad. it really shows how most people instead of waiting to have all the information or listen just talk and talk making things worse. such a masterpiece honestly.

The bald guy in this episode is actually the son of Patrick Troughton, the 2nd Doctor.

3:50 He might not be talking about Rose here. Could be Romana staying in E-Space.

I love this episode !! 😍😍😍😱

I love this episode! It is by far one of my favorite stand alone episodes.

This episode had me shooketh

Bruh when you said " nani?! " I felt that.

This and the next episode is one of my favourite episodes ever.

Jethro’s dad looks like my dad lmao

04:09 The Lost moon of poosh. There seems to be a lot of lost or missing worlds cropping up recently. Planets like the planet of the Adipose, the planet of those pompeii fire monsters (medusa cascade or was it pyrovile?), the disappearing bees and now this. Coincidence?

Great reaction! This episode is so intense and everyone was so good!

Honestly when I watched this for the first time! I had just watched the two parter (Silence in the library/Forest of the Dead) and was shaken from that. Then at the end of the 2 parter I went yeah I'm terrified I need to watch another one to cool off... Nope... that was a massive mistake. lol I thought I would never go to sleep that night!

If you have 5.1 surround with a good subwoofer system, the "knocks" can be heard and felt all around you, and even above your head when the creature is on top of the shuttle!

i love how much you love rose. rose tyler stans unite!

One of my favourite episodes - where the humans are more of the villains then the actual monster

David Tennant and Lesley sharp who played "Sky" worked hard to get the simotaneous talking nailed down!

18:39 THAT MOMENT DID GIVE ME CHILLS 🙊

Professor hobbs is played by David Troughton, Patrick Troughton's (the 2nd doctors) son

Notice that when the doctor knocked 4 times, it didn't reciprocate the knocks back

I can't remember what was supposed to be there originally but the Rose on the screen was a last minute idea (as the rest of the series was airing). I wonder what would have been there otherwise!

SKY SILVESTRY + her black clothes with colourful palettes = New Year special, Name and clothing was on purpose.. clothes symbolizing a black sky at new year with all colours. Also, Sky told the hostess to do something cause shes responsible for them, U saw at the end that she did, N on top of that it was Sky who told her before , thats really funny N great at the same time..

This is the only episode where we see the Doctor lose, being completely and utterly defeated - he was only saved by the Hostess's sacrifice. RTD said he wrote this to counterbalance Voyage of the Damned - there, people were heroes all working for the common good; here, they're human, fallible and flawed. They took an extra day for rehearsal; it must have been intense, confined to one set for all but the start and end, with lights, techs, cameras and operators all crammed in there.

This episode is awesome

When you said Let's go on the rose scene I subbed

Word of advice watch Merlin, it’s great and ull know why I mentioned it on this episode specifically when u watch it

Tennant is so good in this one.

Great episode, great reaction. So much fun !

I LOVE WHEN HE SAY LET'S GO HE IS SUPER CUTE

21:48 Not you cutting out the most important moment.

The next episode is one of my absolute favorites

I can’t wait till you get to the last 3 episodes !!

always watch this at halloween night

Hey look it's Merlin

“Humans...trash.” Yeah sometimes we are.

Here is a cool behind the scenes video for this episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1mV3BBnl32Y.html

9:35 Hi Rose.

You kinda ruin the build of tension for yourself by pausing every five minutes haha

The next episode is brilliant

How did you get away with a 25 minute video here? But if you did for any episode I'm glad it was this one

This is the episode I show non DW fans!

“Humans. Trash.” An accurate assessment.

ok the head writer was leaving so dave wanted out to so it began

did anyone see the quick rose tyler image

Molto Bene

NOTIFICATION SQUAD😂YEET

Best episode of S4

Rose 9:32

FINALLY

hi i want to videos what is a good way to start? any help you can give will be great

Funny enough hen i first watched it i thought... that is intriguing, nerve shredding conceptually but what actually happened? and in time i kinda like it less and less ... after adoring the Library two parter this felt a bit...hmmmm.... anyway three corkers coming up.... and we then draw to an end of the RTD era ... and then into my favourite era of the show's history

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but personally, I hated this episode. Don't get me wrong, I can fully appreciate it for what it was (it's a great psychological thriller that uses simplistic, but compelling storytelling) and I have no problem with people liking it, but I just don't like psychological thrillers. They're just not my cup of tea.

I think it is a tardis. they learn, they copy, they know whats next. a tardis is more alive than you think that's why it needed a time lord.

What does it say about us as a species that this is the most realistic episode of the entire show?

This was actually one of my LEAST favorite episodes... It always annoys me, but I'm sure I'm like the only one in that group.

This episode taught me that humans are idiots.

You're so excited to see Rose, but that's all we see of her in this episode. Why would she be responsible for this episode anyway?

You got WAY overexcited about Rose, it's just the same thing that happened in episode 5... I really hope you don't become one of those fans who constantly obssess about Rose and forget there are other companions...

It's your opinion but I can't believe you think that was a fantastic episode, it was absolutely terrible and I hated ever second of it (that's my opinion obviously). It literally just showed how st*pid some people are and it did nothing but make me mad.

This is such a fantastic episode because the Doctor utterly loses. His intellect, knowledge, and rationality - the resources he would typically use to win in a situation - are all of no use. If it wasn't for the Hostess, he would be dead and that lifeform would've escaped. That's the brilliance of this episode, sheer human paranoia defeats The Doctor, and damn near gets him killed.

Oh look! It's the son of the second Doctor, David Troughton! :D

Remember to Turn Left everyone

You know it’s bad when the doctor gets ptsd from it, he wouldn’t even let Donna repeat him 😔 it pains me to see the doctor so scared.

I always loved how this episode was always heavy on psychology, human behaviour. Their reaction to high stress, the way they turned on one another so easily; it was all so deliciously cruel. I think each of their behaviours is representative of something, but I can't exactly remember what.

Season 4 episode 8-11 is such a great little set of episodes. Consequently episode 10 is usually the episode I tell people to watch if they wanna start their hook with Dr.Who. It’s got a great setup and plot - and more Doctor in it than ‘Blink’.

Midnight is absolutely one of the best episodes of Who. Incredibly scary, and definitely a moral commentary too.

this episode spooked me when it first aired; it was the fact that we never actually found out what it was, the unknown is what makes this episode so eery and iconic to me

4x11 will be this Thursday/Friday too!

This would totally work as an episode of the classic Twilight Zone

Let's give a round of applause to Lesley Sharp, who played Sky/???. What a good job she did of creeping us all out. She got to play the ultimate villain: The Unknown.
