Doctor Who Series 10 Christmas Special "Twice Upon a Time" (Jane and JVs REACTION 🔥) 

I will always remember when The Doctor was Peter Capaldi. He was my Doctor, he was my professor, he was my warrior, he was my hero, and I didn't want him to go.

The soldier actor is Mark Gatiss. He's written many episodes of Doctor Who. He played the professor Lazarus in series 3 (the guy who became younger and then turned into a monster). He also played Sherlock's brother Mycroft. He's done a lot.

I loved how much Capaldi's Doctor developed (at least compared to some of the other Doctors) sometimes in noticeably drastic ways and sometimes in very subtle ways. My personal favorite development he had was his views on hugs. When he 1st starts out he says he's not a hugger to Clara, but by the end of his Era he was definitely a hugger and valued being close to his Companions.

The footage of William Hartnell's final episode was destroyed. Only the regeneration scene remains. On his way out, Moffat decided to give Hartnell his ending back.

Capaldi was a fine Doctor and I'm so glad he had the opportunity to show it. I still miss him.

I doubt that there'll ever be a fictional character that means more to me than the the 12th doctor

Capaldi went out on a high. After Nine he's my favourite Doctor

If a person's memories are stored at Testimony then, yes - they've already died. At some point Clara travelled back to Gallifrey and was returned to her death with the Raven, at which point Testimony picked her up. Likewise, Bill also died sometime after we last saw her in the show (she didn't see Heather coming for her until after she was separated from her original human body so the memory construct that works for Testimony has to have been acquired after her transformation).

The soldier was the father of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart who was frequently in classic DW episodes with the 3rd and 4th Doctors. You might be familiar with his granddaughter, UNIT Chief Kate Stewart, who appeared in Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi episodes.

A beautiful closure to the Capaldi era 🥺❤ Thank you for coming on this journey - so pleased how much you've both grown to love Doctor Who

3:28 I can’t tell you how hard I laughed at Jane thinking the Captain was Hitler 🤣

And by the way, when he talks about pears he is referring to a deleted scene by David Tennant.

"Twice Upon A Time" aka "Murray Gold's Greatest Hits"

"It's funny how I didn't like him at first and now I'm really sad that he's going" - Doctor Who summed up in one sentiment.

The 2nd Doctor is the first to use the sonic screwdriver. The 1st has never seen one, hence him being confused!

I love Eccleston, but Capaldi got a second place in my heart when he punched that wall.

Lethbridge-stewart is the father of the Brigadier (from classic who) who is the father of Kate Stewart (head of UNIT) who you first met you in the Matt Smith story The power of three.

RIP 12th! You will always be my favorite.

Perhaps the most beautiful episode of the show for me personally. The Music. Capaldi at his best (but when isn't he). The Christmas Day Armistice Miracle as a historical backdrop. A reflection on all that came before, on what's to come, and who the Doctor is. It's my favorite regeneration episode, and holds a special place in my heart.

It might be my favorite doctor one last Peter capaldi speech

Mark Gratiss is a Who writer, and a fantastic one. He's also a writer and actor on Sherlock. He's amazing. No, he isn't Lupin though lol. His character here is the ancestor of Brigadier General Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, a recurring character from the original run of Doctor Who who himself was the ancestor of Kate Stewart, a character on the new series of Doctor Who.

There is a Big Finish audio play called Masterful that you would really like.... ALL THE MASTERS having a dinner party

Now, it's time for you two to start reacting to Classic Who from the beginning, "The long way round" if you please.

I normally don't really care for Christmas episodes, but this is the best Christmas episode and one of the best overall episodes. I have no idea how Moffat got the idea to use the Christmas Armistice as a plot point and character development, but it's the most ingenious bit of writing in all of Doctor Who. It's such a great message, and the flip on the Doctor of War is just the best in the tradition of Doctor Who writing flipping an idea on its head.

The Tardis was exploding because of the damage it took from the regeneration and was trying to force the 13th Doctor out so she wasn’t caught in the explosion

It takes a strong man to show his emotions, Justin, you are a good man great father and Jane, you are a wonderful mother.

The rules for the Doctor (Before Jodie came along destroying canon) was the Doctor can meet up with himself on special occasions or emergences where the Tardis bell would go off on old episodes

fun fact, a few years ago I had the opportunity to meet david bradly who played the first doctor in this as I did a documentary on dyslixia for a friend from university and his godfather is friends with David Bradley and he was at the first showing of it, such a pleasent man and very fun to talk to.

In this episode of Doctor Who the 12th Doctor is met by the First Doctor who also doesn't want to regenerate because he's never done it before

When Peter Capaldi was hugged by Clara in his first episode, he said "I don't think I'm a hugging person now..." And here at the end, he hugs his friends; a visual "character arc" :)

Hahaha Jane always tries SO DAMN HARD not to cry! Give into it Jane!

I love all the doctors and I never did see the original doctor who series before this new series but I may watch it now black and white doctor who here I come!

During the classic era, Letbridge Stewart was the brigadier, well known because it's a good friend of the Doctor. And in the new serie era, Kate Letbridge Stewart, his daughter, handle the UNIT forces. So this name is following the Doctor throughout the seasons.

About the pears, it started with a Tennant deleted scene: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pOuNKToSebE.html

Man, that Lethbridge-Stewart thing got me so bad, I'd forgotten about that scene. Gosh, and then the war. The tears were streaming! 😭

I miss 12

clara is my favourite too jane, i'm so glad you love her as much as you do

There was no significant button-pushing at the end. That TARDIS reaction had nothing to do with pushing a button. And the people we saw that the _Testimony_ brought back, had been brought back from after the point when they died. They are dead. They're not duplicates, this is what's left after they've lived their lives (however long that might have been). You've got to remember that this show is not always linear. *EDIT:* It's as you said *JV,* of course there were people who were upset that it was a woman. But many were just upset that, after having watched many episodes, the show was just too different for them. Which is what happens when a new showrunner comes in to try something new. I'm not going to share my opinion as yet, as I don't want to color your experience.

I loved the image of the book pages pouring out of the TARDIS for me it symbolizes the end of one story and the beginning of another. I've really enjoyed Jodie Whitaker's run as the Doctor (having just watched S13). Chris Chibnall changed some things up, but the show is inherently about regeneration and reinvention. If some of his episodes weren't as strong as others, well, after 58 years of episodes, they're not all going to be winners. In no way did he or Whitaker "destroy Doctor Who".

Christopher regenerates into David in the TARDIS: TARDIS does a pinball game around the Powell Estate David regenerates into Matt in the TARDIS: TARDIS flies around London, as the Doctor hangs onto the edge for dear life and manages to get back in. Matt regenerates into Peter: TARDIS presents the Doctor with a dino companion after being stuck in the throat of one. Peter regenerates into Jodie in the TARDIS: Doc gets kicked out, probably because TARDIS is sick of them regenerating inside her. Also, Jodie's last story airs next year, so will she continue the pattern...?

lmfao jane is killing me in this video, shes adorable

Pretty sure the Doctor’s regeneration energy is what affected the TARDIS’ control.

Time to redecorate, Doctor, out you go!

BTW there all dead because that entity takes memories before they die but Clara was taken by the Doctor later so in theory can still be out there, the entity wouldn't have taken Bills memories when turned to water because she didn't die thus must have later

I waited so long I went patron...you win lol

You’re not SUPPOSED to cross your own timeline… it creates weak points in time, and increases the odds of paradoxes occurring… but it can happen… it’s dangerous, but that doesn’t mean it’ll always cause major damage

"Lethbridge Steward" - Kate (Lethbridge) Stewart is the scientific head of UNIT (from series 7, Day of the Doctor etc.). Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart (her father) was a companion of a few classic doctors (3 and 4 certainly, possibly others). As for the Tardis - I personally think the Tardis didn't want a woman! (Maybe the Tardis knew what was coming in terms of the writing on future series. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of Jodie/Chibnall)

The TARDIS exploded because it died When the doctor regenerated the energy from him destroyed the TARDIS. I like to think it does that so that the TARDIS rebuilds itself, to fit the new doctor

11:32: "this one looks cooler!" ..you literally already saw it in the scene where Clara flies off with the Viking girl a few episodes ago 🤦‍♂

The German in The trench is Toby Whithouse, Doctor Who writer and creator of other TV series.

It's been a while since they did a doctor who reaction

It’s honestly a toss up between David Tennant and Peter Capaldi on who is my favorite Doctor. I will say 12’s death/regeneration might give him an edge. I just love that after initial reluctance to regenerate he spent his final moments leaving a message to his successor on how to be the best Doctor possible

The sonic screwdriver was introduced in the 2nd doctor era

I'll be honest here, the 1st Doctor is really not written well at all here, a lot of stuff like the over the top sexism, and even implied homophobia is not a thing in the 1st Doctor's era. There may have been questionable statements at certain times, but nowhere near the degree that this episodes make it out to be. Moffat had admitted in the past he never really liked the Hartnell era, so I wish Mark Gatiss (The Captain) would have Co-wrote this episode, since he actually is a massive 1st Doctor fan, and even wrote An Adventure in Space and Time

The First Doctor is showing the attitudes of when the show originated. I love that they are doing that...showing the evolution not just of the show, but of the whole society. I thought it was brilliantly done. I have seen some of the First Doctor episodes and I like him. In many ways Capaldi's Doctor is similar to the Hartnell version. Most of the others were clownish or slick in some ways. Hartnell and Capaldi played crusty, cynical, old Doctors which works well for me. Perhaps because I am rather crusty, cynical, and getting on old (particularly after having kids!). The Lethbridge-Stewart connection starts in the second (?) doctor and is emphasized in the third doctor. His daughter is in the new series. Officers of UNIT.

The Armistice really happened

and all the places that I thought she would land were wrong

Fav channel

Lufbrichstuwart is the last name of the doctor’s friend from unit.

Jenna Coleman filmed her scenes against a green screen on the set of "Queen Victoria". So she wasn't there.

The Tardis sometimes regenerates too.

You guys are almost caught up.

The final episode of Doctor Who for me

Hamish Stewart is the father of the doctors earth based unit leader leftbridge Stewart who was in the show up to the 80s His daughter Kate is unit commander for Matt Smith and Calais doctors

Kate Stewart head of the scientific area of UNIT

This is why he said "Never, ever eat pears" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pOuNKToSebE.html

13:24 - #facesnugglers

Someone will correct me if im wrong but i think there has been other male companions before Rory. I believe it was back in the 60s

Hi Guys, pls react another korean series on Netflix! D.P or Kingdom? 😭 you guys have a power to influence ppl to watch that series 💛

I believe the novelisation of this episode explains the sexist jokes that 1 made where made to mess with 12 and make him feel uncomfortable

I feel like they should have only had 2 or 3 of the sexism jokes since while a couple of them were based on things Hartnell himself said, they didn't need so many to show his Doctor is old fashioned, but other than that, Bradley did an amazing job as the 1st Doctor in this Special as well as his role in An Adventure In Space And Time.

Have you seen the day of the doctors

I really hope you enjoy the 13th Doctor. I really appreciate you both going in with an open mind despite the controversy so please please please enjoy her era, I hope you like it

Looking forward to your reactions to the next era. Jodie is one of my favourite new Doctor's alongside Matt Smith. This story was kind of a last minute add on as the new showrunner didn't want to start with a Christmas episode and so Moffett came up with this story. Otherwise I believe Capadi would have regenerated at the end of the last story and it was set up that way until the last minute change. That said I really like this story and it does get me on an emotional level.

19:02 Not Whovians ....

Okay, you have to have seen the pre-Moffat reboot Doctors. Brigadier General Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was in Doctor Who from the 2nd Doctor all the way to the 7th in 1989 as the head of UNIT, plus an episode of "Sarah Jane" in 2008. His daughter is the current head of UNIT in the series. Thirteen regenerations and the Doctor *still* hasn't gotten "land first, *then* regenerate."

As in Kate Stewart

Chrisman Special?

I remember when they first announced Jodie. I was so against it because I was so used to having a male doctor. But I gave it a chance at S11ep1 and turns out I like her as a doctor, I think she does a good job. However. I don't particularly like a lot of her episodes all too much. She does have a few good ones with returning characters/villians (I won't say who) but overall, not the best seasons in my opinion. I do hope you guys enjoy it though I love your reactions :)

Seasons 11 and 12 and the first half of season 13 featuring Jodie Whittaker are as good as anything that has come before it. Not every episode is a classic (although there are plenty of them to come) but then that can be said of any era of Doctor Who.

No the glass people collect memories from dead people before they die which means at some point Clara did return to Gallifrey to be put back in her timestream seconds before she was killed by the raven so there is no way she will come back. Bill also eventually dies so she must had changed her mind about being back to a human and Nardole also dies from the looks of it and just to say Nardole is not human and he was a companion and male. Jodie Whittaker has been the Doctor since 2017 this Christmas special is almost 4 years ago. William Hartnell the "real" First Doctor didn't act anything remotely sexist like that.

There are a lot of people being total assholes about the next Doctor. I love Jodie's Doctor. Like any other season, there are some good episodes and some bad. I think the current season is fantastic.

it's downhill from here

How to ruin a franchise by xhanging one name slightly' Facehuggers > Facesnugglers

Wrong person

Everything after this episode, is a different show and I refuse to acknowledge any of it as cannon

Jodie is great imho but make your own mind up. I'm expecting lots of tears and cheers. BTW baby is soooo cute 👩🏼‍🦲

You've finally got to the end of doctor who.... I recommend u watch an adventure in space and time, its brilliant, then if u can, move onto classic dr who, it's a little creaky but the stories are great!!! It's been a journey!

oh boy, is it down hill from here XD

Jodie's run had the misfortune to start with no continuity from the previous one - different doctor, different gender, different assistants, different producer.

Peter capaldi best doctor of modern era doctor who, even tho his era was very up and down. I don’t think the characterisation of the first doctor is that good in this tho, he hardly has the twinkle william hartnell brought, just seems like a grumpy confused old man in this☹️

Making The First Doctor sexist just for the sake of showing how progressive The BBC are is an insult to The character. Whenever Modern Doctor Who viewers watch this episode that is what they think he was like.

Jane looks fine as hell.

WTF is Chrisman? Uh Christmas???

don't listen to the haters, the next 3 seasons are just as good as the previous ones, it's my personal favourite era just go into the next seasons with the same excitement as before, and form your own opinions :D if you end up not liking it, that's totally valid, but don't let people ruin it for you

This episode is a great meta-story to symbolize what Doctor Who became after William Hartnell left the show in 1966, and it's a farewell message from Steven Moffat leaving Doctor Who in other hands, and it's also a musical farewell from Murray Gold the composer, retracing his work from the past 12 years for the show :) But they did the 1st Doctor dirty, he was a perfect gentleman at the time (the actor wasn't as much irl but that's not the point here), they used him here as a criticism of the 60s sexism, when the show itself at the time wasn't so awful like that to women even though not perfect ^^

Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart is in charge of UNIT on earth during the 1960s thru 1980s I believe. He and The Doctor had had many episodes together from I believe the 2nd Doctor on. I believe the dislike of the new Doctor isn't just sexism. The writers / creator whatever have gone full on WOKE which is pissing many off. They also rewrote The Doctor's origin which pissed even more off. The first 7 Doctors had a number of male companions.

so much cringe from that "my boys"

David Bradley was gd as the first Doctor Steven Moffats writing from him was terrible absolutely terrible as most fans know the first Doctor and the writing back then wasn't as sexist as he made out. Your better of watching a few original 1960s episodes.

There really is no continuity with Dr Who. This is just really good fantasy and every new showrunner has their own take. Just take it the companions are gone. This was a weird series in that major companions died verses the old traditions where the only one that died was Adrac. I mentally keep not consistency between the stories in my head.
