Doctor Who Series 9 Episode 11 "Heaven Sent" (Jane and JVs REACTION 🔥) 

Ironic you called out the glasses as a merchandising opportunity. Actually they were introduced (based on an idea I think Capaldi had), that everyone owns a pair of sunglasses they can play with, and those kids who couldnt afford/didnt want to spend money on a official screwdriver toy would still be able to pretend to be the Doctor.

I always find it funny when people say "should have used the shovel" but he had no idea what was happening until his moment of realization in front of the wall. Seriously love these episode, and Capaldi´s Doctor.

Something to consider, did he say "The hybrid... is me." or did he say "The hybrid... is Me."

Capaldi, all on his own for the entire episode. Now that's a fantastic actor.

Fun Facts: the first time we heard “The Shepard’s Boy”, was in The Day of the Doctor when the Doctors decided to save Gallifrey. The Doctor doesn’t know he’s died multiple times until he reaches the wall and realizes the meaning of bird. So he wouldn’t know to bring the shovel until he reaches it. He also can’t go back because while he’s working out what to do the Veil is working it’s way towards him and he can’t get back. The veil per the writers became a sentient creature after millions of years and tried to help him, since it and the Wall are the only things that do not reset. The wall doesn’t reset because it’s not part of the trap, it’s part of the confession dial wall itself.

The music is just FUCKING AMAZING this episode!!!!!

This is one of the best episodes of the modern era :))

Straight masterpiece. One of the greatest episodes of any show, ever.

The episode where I just fell in love with Capaldi's Doctor

This episode is meant as a metaphor for grief, particularly the known seven stages. Shock and disbelief- the Doctor can’t actually believe that Clara has died in the way she did. Denial - the Doctor keeps talking to Clara as if she’s there and forgets she isn’t. Guilt - The Doctor always blames himself for letting Clara get too much like him and feels he should have taken care of her better. Anger and bargaining- he is angry with the unknown people he feels are responsible for Clara’s death and even more so when he finds out who it is. He gives up little confessions to the Veil to get through the puzzle until he realises what is going on. Depression, loneliness and reflection - the Doctor has a breakdown and tells Clara he wants to lose and it doesn’t matter what he does she still won’t be with him and it’s too much. 😢 Reconstruction- The Doctor’s subconscious has Clara tell him to fight through the grief and he needs to ‘get up off your arse and win’ Acceptance - although not totally accepting it the Doctor knows he needs to focus on getting out of this he’ll and fight with all his might to knock through the wall. This episode should have bagged Peter a BAFTA or any award for his performance. Quite a masterpiece in writing, acting and directing!

“How long can I keep doing this Clara? Burning the old me...to make a new one” Yeah that’s going to come up again at some point.

I'm sorry to say this JV, but Clara is most definitely dead. The Clara you saw was in his mind.

The best! Capaldi is freaking amazing. I’ve rewatched this quite a few times and I still jump at some scenes. The doctor doesn’t bring the shovel because he doesn’t remember doing it until the end. At the very end his memory returns.

One of the best episodes of who ever, and shows how great capaldi is as the doctor, and actor in general

This episode is why, in my humble opinion, Capaldi was the best doctor of modern Who, and Moffat the best writer the show has seen. I can’t for a moment imagine Ecelston, Tenant, Smith, or Whitaker being able to hold the entire extra long episode with no other characters to interact with and still be able to take us through the full range of emotion accompanying grief that the doctor went through in this episode while also keeping us fully invested in a story, that while it does have a looming threat has no specific antagonist to progress the plot. And Moffat in this episode as well as numerous others, shows himself able to play with the concept of time in story telling and as not only a gimmick but a way of fleshing out themes and purposes of stories in a way that I have never seen another writer even come close to. I consider this episode the finest piece of Doctor Who ever produced.

IIRC, the sunglasses were Capaldi's idea so that cosplayers on a budget wouldn't need to shell out money for their own sonic screwdrivers.

One of the most amazing episodes of television ever. Capaldi should just have awards thrown at him for this.

I love this episode. It's my absolute favorite. It shows the Doctor in a way we've rarely ever seen; hopeless. Him breaking down is Capaldi at his best.

3:04 The writing on the wall by the window is his opening monologue: “As you come into this world, something else is also born. You begin your life, and it begins a journey. Towards you. Wherever you go. Whatever path you take. It will follow. You will notice a second shadow next to yours. Your life will then be over.”

great reaction, IMO this is the best episode in tv history, everything was brilliant, the episode was pretty much just one giant monologue from Capaldi which was perfection, also The Doctor couldn't use the shovel because he forgot everything he was suppose to do everytime he burned himself up to make the new copy, and the wall didn't reset because it was the exit so it had to stay the same & yes that is Gallifrey

My favorite episode of all DOCTOR WHO.

This is my single favorite episode of Doctor Who

The first ever companion to die was Adric under Peter Davidson's Dr Who.

This episode shows why the Doctor is feared - it’s not that he’s armed because he never is. It’s that he won’t give up until he wins - even if takes a bajillion years, he’ll go down winning and fighting if he has to. He’d rather not fight - he’s the wanderer who wants to see the universe - but he will if necessary.

Little bit of influence from the Allegretto in Beethoven's 7th AND Ravel's Bolero there, I think, Murray? Whatever the influence, 'Breaking The Wall' is an astounding classic piece of Doctor Who music, set to an incredible solo performance by the Capaldi. "That's one hell of a bird!"

I absolutely love this episode, rewatching it is even better! Seeing all the clues that this a time loop is amazing, not a wasted moment. And Peter’s performance, practically solo, is amazing!

Easily one of the greatest episodes of any show

12 doctor can do whole ep almost single handed and still one the best eps in the show

One of my all time favorite episodes 🥰 Soooo good and so sad and so well done. I was fully fooled the whole time until the reveal that it was him every time.

Four and a half billion years…. Peter Capaldi’s absolute master class in acting. I wasn’t his biggest fan but this (and the next couple) episodes sold me as a treasure in the Who-verse.

The doctor is a man of focus, commitment and sheer f*cking will!

You asked how long the Earth will exist... just a reminder that this was the plot of "The End of the World", the second episode of Doctor Who you ever watched. (According to the episode, it's destroyed about 5 billion years in the future.)

In the 1996 movie, the Eighth Doctor said he was human on his mother's side. I think everyone ignored it - except Steven Moffat?

I laughed at the “use the shovel” comment. Honestly never thought of that!

This episode describe exactly what's the meaning of living with a chronic painful disease

shovel wont work to break the carbon structure because the doctors hand got stronger each time even though he got reset ,bit like what martial artists do to toughen up

Great reaction guys, thanks! I think I was around for the start of Doctor Who, and it's definitely been a while. Also kudos to Jane continuing to record reactions while uber pregnant!

Had to watch your reaction because I got lost only seen once before, Can appreciate it now

would the shovel have broken and he not have been able to use it for digging if he'd used it on the wall?

If you want to know why the Doctor was scared when he fled Gallifrey with his granddaughter, you have to go to the Gallifrey spinoff audio series from Big Finish. Specifically S04E02, "Disassembled", where the Doctor's brother explains what happened. And yes, he has one, he even says as much during Martha's first episode. She asks him if he has a brother and the Doctor says "not anymore". He doesn't claim he never had one. Just that he had one, but he doesn't anymore. Probably because poor Braxiatel died with all the other Time Lords during the Time War. Or at least, that would be the Doctor's thoughts, especially back at that point, when he thought he was the only Time Lord in the universe.

Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and the sun seems to be about half way through its lifespan. So yeah. Earth in some form will still be around 2 billion years from now. This is a great episode because it just highlighted Peter Capaldi's amazing acting in a way they had failed to do most of his time as the Doctor, and not since they had done since he was in Torchwood.

Next episode literally made me cry🤣

Ayy here we go for the best episode of new who!

Cool episode, cool reaction! P.S. This is old video, right?

Such an amazing episode. Still great even after multiple viewings.

I think the diamond room didnt reset because it was in the centre of the castle.. kinda like a clock... the hands move but the pin in the middle doesnt

The diamond doesn’t reset, mainly because plot, but the reasoning not stated is that it is meant to be the outer seal of the confession dial. The mechanism resets, but the seal cannot.

Beautiful episode, go Capaldi ❤️

You mean the weeping angles.

I love this episode.

YOO I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS EVERY VIDEO MAKE ME LAUGH YOU'RE REAL TO ME I LOVE HOW YOU POST EVERYDAY YOU PUT ME ON MY GRIND I POST GREAT Videos (ROAD TO 1k

also cannot wait for the next one

The subtitle at the end is wrong. He says "it's Me."

12:47 - Good point - I never thought of that. Why didn’t dying on the floor Doctor regenerate? 🧐

Not a fan of the cepaldi era but this episode is undoubtedly a masterpiece.

you should give classic dr who a try and react to these stories -spearheads from space -inferno -terror of the autons -the mind of evil -the daemons -the claws of axos -carnival of monsters -frontier in space -the green death -gensis of the daleks -pyrmids of mars -seeds of doom -the deadly assin -the robots of death -image of the fendhal -the pirate planet -destiny of the daleks -city of death -full circle,state of decay,worriors gate -the keeper of traken -logoplis -kinda -earthshock -frontios -caves of andrazani -veangence on varos -the mark of the rani -revaltions of the daleks -trail of a timelords - the mysterious planet /mindwarp/terror of the verviods /the ultimate foe -rembrance of the daleks -the happiness patrol -the greatest show in the galaxy -battlefield -the curse of fendric -survival

Capaldis best episode.

When do you watch the last part of twilight??

Im gonna start calling pregnant women "time lords" lol 😎

The doctor actually killed his bully as a boy look it up

First companion of New Who to die....it errrrr...happened more in the classic series

Why does she always look so disgusted by everything?

There have been a few “Doctor-light” episodes, like Blink, but I think this might have been the only episode, in the old or new series, with essentially *only* the Doctor.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR SAYING IT!!- This is a fantastic episode, but I never understood why when discovering the diamond wall & realizing he's got to get through it he didn't retrieve the shovel!

In Classic Who, the Doctor's Mother was Human, his Father was a Time Lord. Raven is a Bird.

you please react to the lady of heaven trailer
