Doctor Who "The Time of the Doctor" Reaction 

Fun fact: When Karen showed up, she was wearing a wig since she was filming Nebula, so Jenna was the only one with actual hair.

Ha! When Peter appeared you had the same look on your face as Clara.

A bald Matt and a bald Karen (she was in the middle of filming the first Guardians of the Galaxy), both wearing wigs in that scene.

"I will never forget it, not one line, I swear" -> literally a minute later: - DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO FLY THIS THING?! Yup, that's the Doctor in a nutshell.

They really brought Karen to punch you in the kidneys and then take your kidneys away.

One: “Well, then. Here we go, the long way round.” Two: “You can’t do this to me!” Three: “A tear, Sarah Jane? No, don’t cry. While there’s life, there’s...” Four: “It’s the end, but the moment has been prepared for.” Five: “Adric?” Six: “Who said that? Who is that, who’s there? Seven: “The Master, he’s out there! He’s out there! I have to stop him...” Eight: “Physician, heal thyself...” War: “I hope the ears are a bit less conspicuous this time...” Nine: “You were fantastic. Absolutely Fantastic! And you know what? So was I!” Ten: “I don’t want to go.” Eleven: “I will always remember... when the Doctor... was me.” Twelve: (Spoilers...)

The moment when handles dies is even more heartbreaking knowing that he was the Doctors longest companion😢

10th Doctor’s regeneration scene emotional and heart breaking and people thought it couldn’t be topped 11th Doctor - Hold my beer

Dammit! I just sneezed and turn into Peter Capaldi.

That was so quick because he used all the energy to destroy dalek fleet and regenerated whats left. Thats why he didnt remembered anything. That was the temporary cost.

Seriously, Peter Capaldi is my favourite Doctor. Absolute champion with the best Doctor character build, best individual story, best acting... Love him. Even in bad episodes he saves it just by being The Doctor. Can't wait till you react to his amazing performance

Oh, that farewell speech. It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect. The Eleventh Doctor’s final words to Clara (and the audience, by extension) were the best final words of any Doctor in the history of the show thus far. They not only show the Eleventh Doctor’s acceptance of his oncoming change and his satisfaction of his time as that incarnation but they’re also a wonderful speech about change in both the show and real life. “We all change, when you think about it. We’re all different people all through our lives. And that’s okay, that’s good, you’ve got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.” Change happens but, as long as you remember how things used to be, everything will be okay. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who got a pretty meta vibe from this. Matt Smith was literally telling his fans that everything’s going to be okay. He won’t be the Doctor anymore but, as long as they remember when he was the Doctor and give Peter Capaldi a chance, everything will be just fine.

And now it's time for one last bow Like all your other selves Elevens hour is over now The clock is striking twelves 😢That was a real stab in the chest!!!

"Why am i getting emotional to a cyberman head?" Doctor Who has a way of making us emotional to robots... XD

They spend 20 minutes on a regeneration sequence ... "Why was that so quick?" Great reaction!

When you accidentally sneeze too hard and turn into Capaldi

Oh man here we go. Watching this before bed and im definitely gonna cry again

"don't do this to me~~~~" Moffat: **does it anyway**

Raggedy man, goodnight. The part that gets me everytime is obviously when he pulls out his bowtie. When I first watch this episode I was bawling for at least 30 minutes and I just kept rewinding because I didn't want him to change and I wanted to hear what he was saying lol Edit: fun fact I have that noise as my ringtone!

11 was and will always be my Doctor!!!

this episode absolutely broke me. i was quietly but intensely holding back the tears in the back of my living room on christmas day when it aired in 2013 and i still highly value this episode. it’s so beautifully done and matt and jenna absolutely smashed it. but be ready for such a ride with 12. of all new who doctors, he is my top favourite

Well, there's the end of an era. I probably cried as much as you, to be honest, but the upside is you're now watching the 12th doctor! He was the first one I saw on tv, and he is *my* doctor, and as much as I do and you will miss 11, I'm really excited for Twelve!

10:10 That slight hint of wanting to laugh, but shock and confusion is too great. Welcome to the 12th Doctor.

Eleven will always be my favourite Doctor, he means so much to me. But fear not because Twelve is truly amazing, Capaldi just embodies the Doctor.

The big regeneration burst had already happened, Capaldi was the final switch It broke me for a while too

"Thoughts on a clock" by Eric Ritchie Junior For one the journey had just begun Old but young his time to come But soon enough the clock struck two The face must change the music must too So two began And played it cool To some extent he was a fool But time it waits For no one now The clock ticked on to three and how A dandy time Spent three in time But the hour of four was soon to chime The longest hour was spent at four But soon enough the clock crept lower The dance of four began to jive Passing the floor from four to five Five began with great aplomb But time is like a ticking bomb For five the times they went to fast Soon six was blasting from the past Six was freash and played it well But didnt hear the ringing bell The chime that brought it to an end Signalled seven to start it all again Dear seven He gave his all for what The Time Lords time It did just stop The bell did toll For eight once more But not for long In Gallifreyan lore Like hands of ice That were frozen in time The clock thawed once more And struck number nine So short was the time That the clock struck on nine The adventures were cut short In space and time But the clock carried on With a tick and a tock And soon it was striking Upon ten o'clock The tenth hour was long With a rich honest glow But tens time was up He just didn't want to go But time waits for no man Old one or young And ten became eleven The final countdown begun And now its time for one last bow Like all your other selves Elevens hour is over now The clock is striking twelves.

On to my favourite doctor we go!! Definitely excited for whats to come next

The end of another era - felt like yesterday that you started 11. Still plenty more great moments to come!

Matt Smith turned you around after missing Tennant, trust me, Capaldi will do the same, he's ace

I was stunned when Karen Gillan showed up. Unlike the last special which had advertised Rose and 10 up for months in advance, I dont think anyone knew that Amy was going to be in this special at the time. And yes, that made me cry more than I already was. PS yes Matt had a wig for a good part of this season due to shaving his head for another role.

"Why was that so FAST?" 10 minutes after the regeneration started. LOL

The tears will continue but so will the joy! I love your reactions to this show and its clear that you love this show. Your reactions are amazing, you have fast become my favourite reactor. Genuinely cant wait for Deep Breath!

As others have said,it really wasn't abrupt;because his regeneration essentially happened earlier on top of the clock tower. The last part was simply a brief re-set.

God, when your laughter broke into tears my heart ached big time. I felt the same way watching 11 leave too, man

"You were the first face this face saw." 11th to Amelia. Of course, she had to be there as the last face he saw.

We all change, when you think about it. We are all different people all through our lives and that's okay, that's good you've got to keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when The Doctor was me...

And now for my personal favourite Doctor, while many may not like the Capaldi Era I personally LOVE what he brings to the role and how he portrays the 12th Doctor

Finally I can see someone experiencing 5% of the pain I felt when a minecraft creeper destroyed my house with facts and logic

I don't know why, but that scene with the Doctor and the Silence 'standing back-to-back' really gets me. The man knows how to fight a war, and fight it in style.

To past Shayla, you made it to the most devastating(up to this point) beautiful speech and regeneration we have ever seen. I hope you took time after this to renew your soul before you embarked on 12(and yes I know you already started series 8)

He was actually bald, he'd shaved his head for a film Ryan Gosling directed

😔 well that was depressing Well the good news is that ur onto my favourite doctor now

My reaction: "Always remember when the doctor was me" -- Tears falling. Karen walks down the stairs -- Flood gates open "Raggedy Man, goodnight," -- on the floor sobbing.

11’s regeneration speech is so monumental to me, it’s such an important message. such a beautiful regeneration

Yes he really was naked, and yes he really was bald! LOL he had to shave his head for a part he was doing.

This is a heartbreaking episode as Matt’s time as the Doctor is over, and seeing Karen as Amy again is a real kick in the gut! I hope you enjoy the journey with Peter!

If your wondering why the regeneration was really fast... it was because he used up most of the regeneration energy for that regeneration blowing up the Dalek ships.

My favourite thing about the farewell speech is that it always feels like it's as much from the actor as it is the character.

There was backlash to Peter Capaldi's casting because he was older, just like there was to Matt Smith's casting because he was younger. No matter what, people have trouble adjusting to change.

I feel like river song watch these videos. Loving each one.

I cry every single time I watch that, and it's literally the only time in doctor who I have ever gotten emotional. The only other time was at the end of Husband's of River Song, but before that this was the only time. It is quite a kick to the gut, so beautifully done... Matt was my doctor, and always will be. I still miss him as the Doctor.

4:14 knew that was comin

I love how this episode wasn't too sentimental. It was still fun and 11 was just being 11 just like he would want us to remember him☺

Its hard not to cry at each new Regeneration. :'(

"I will always remember when The Doctor was me". That line gets me every time. Every. Damn. Time.

I loved Eleven sooo much, but Twelfth Doctor... OMG! Twelfth Doctor stole my heart. And he did not give back 😁

This video is one of the most relatable things ever, like every single emotion is exactly what most of us felt watching this episode. Ten is still my favourite, but Eleven was my first Doctor and his regeneration was a punch in the stomach, I remember crying every single time I watched it, even just the scene alone. As I once said, your reactions have this special power to bring me back to the first time I watched this amazing show, so thank you for that! I'm so glad you let us be a part of your whovian journey, and I really can't wait for the future reactions, I hope you'll be obsessed with the next stories as much as I am :') ❤

This episode always pulls on my emotions no matter how many times I have seen it.

it's time for crying, seriously, I came here to cry

That was absolutely fantastic. I know it's always sad when a regeneration happens, but Capaldi is my absolute favourite Doctor, and season 9 is perhaps my favourite season. I can't wait until you get there!

Aw, my heart broke for you. I figured since you anticipating Matt regenerating going into it, it might not be so bad compared to other actors leaving but no, it was really sad. It was the shock and confusion that got to me more than the tears. I hope you're doing okay and I look forward to hearing your thoughts at the start of the next video. On the plus side, I really liked your reaction when you saw the fish fingers and custard. :)

Easily my favourite regeneration scene. The millisecond of hope when you see Matt in the Tardis...he didn't change! Then the crushing realisation. An abrupt change to Twelve, maybe the Doctor should gave learnt by now to regenerate outside the Tardis, it always bloody crashes!

Don’t worry you’ll love capaldi, basically it’s the eyebrows

I've rewatched this episode so many times over the years, but this time... I will admit that you got me Shayla, watching this made me feel like I was watching it for the first time again and I did cry like a baby as well.. again :D

I literally screamed when I saw the notification. ok let's go.

When I watched this episode I cried so much I made a pond (get it?) of tears on my desk and then I blinked and HE was gone. My baby was gone. I couldn't watch the show for like a month cause I was mourning. Anyway after that, I still loved Capaldi with all my heart. Twelve and Clara are my favourite duo of this show

I feel that everyone will always remember when the Doctor was him. Farewell Matt. His speech, at the end... We all change. And that's ok. That's good. We have to keep moving. That's life, right? When you just rambled, at the end... I think we all felt the same, back then, when it all happened... I'll see you next time. Take a Deep Breath, and dive in number 12.

Yeah this was a rough one. I think they want you to feel the abruptness of it... and I also think it defines #11. Tennant didn’t want to go- so his transformation was angry and volatile. It tore apart the Tardis and it had to rebuild itself for Smith. But when 11 transforms he seems to be much more at peace with it- I think that fuels the quick pace of the transition. I enjoy that they are different versions of the same man all the way through to the end of their run.

The Doctor, proving once more... that life is not a fairytale...

Beautiful reaction Shayla. But alas.... this is not the last time tears will be a part of Doctor Who. The highs are only offset by the lows. With the clock striking 12, a new time of the Doctor is upon us. Give 12 time. He is VERY different from most other Doctors. Specifially 9, 10 and 11. But it is a welcome change for the most part. Give him time, see it's HIM there in front of you. The Doctor.

Just when you thought 10's farewell was emotional this turn turned it up to 11

God I remember watching this live all those Christmases ago. Very emotional from the scene where the Doctor is super old onwards for me.

Karen Gillan was wearing a wig at this point too because she'd shaved her head for Guardians of the Galaxy.

I remember watching this for the first time. 11 was my Doctor. I was already balling my eyes out and they they showed Amy and I DIED😭😭😭

11 will always be my doctor but Capaldi is great too. I'm sure you'll grow to love him like I do.

I loved every doctor equally.. until 12 arrived. My absolute favorite doctor!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on him when you get to know him

Yay! Time for a new series and doctor! Love Matt Smith, he’ll always be my favorite. Can’t wait to see what you think about 13!!!

I still can't watch this episode without getting choked up a bit. 11 was my favorite Doctor. Both Matt and Karen had both shaved their heads for other roles so their last scene together they were both wearing wigs.

"And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now, the clock is striking Twelve's". "I don't get it".

You're going to LOVE Capaldi's 12th Doctor, especially because you took to Clara so quickly. Her dynamic with 11 was quick-witted screwball-fun, but she really comes into her own in her relationship with 12. The next couple of seasons are my personal favorites. Have fun.

Commenting before I watch, I've been eagerly awaiting this, I know it's going to emotionally traumatize you SO much.

Letting go of Matt Smith's Doctor was probably the hardest thing I ever had to do as a Who fan, I actually took a pretty long break from watching the show after this episode because I was so so shook. But trust me, once Capaldi's run really gets going, you'll wonder how any other actor could possibly be The Doctor other than him!

So kick !😂 And your réaction when capaldi arrives ! That was the same reaction in the picture with doctor's reaction and your face 😂 good reaction

You handled this a lot better than I thought you would because you actually talked after the regeneration😆 it was rambling but at least you talked! Also I’ve been waiting SUCH a long time to say this anywhere on RU-vid but... MY BABY IS FINALLY HERE!!!

I will never not cry at Matt's regeneration. One of the saddest scenes in the series. Always hit me harder than Tennant's

the next episode is amazing and the next doctor is one of the best

The bit with Handles and the reminder message was so simple yet elegant; so much happens between when he sets it and when Handles reminds him that it feels like it’s been so much longer than it actually has, and Handles has delivered so much important exposition that you’re waiting for a big info drop and have totally forgotten until he says it, and it’s such a tear jerker.

i thought it was a really nice touch that the interior of the Cybership shown @3:56 had design elements from 1967's "Tomb of the Cybermen". What a nice visual throwback for those of us that would notice!

*grabs (a lot of) tissues*

Basic regeneration reaction = "no the Doctor can't change NO!" CHANGES "URGH, the new Doctor is so bad the old one was way better" MID WAY THROUGH THERE ERA "This Doctor is quite good" CHANGE COMES AGAIN "NO this Doctor is the best please don't go!!! The great life of a Whovian🤓 P.s make the most of 12.

09:58 Shayla's expression is exactly the same as Clara's

I just discovered this channel and watched you react to 10s regeneration first. Then worked my way to this. Matt Smith was my doctor. Hes where i started, and his regeneration is one of the very few times ive legitimately cried at a piece of entertainment. As much as i love 10, 11 will always hold a special place in my heart

Sweet its here! - grabs some chips -.... - and tissues -... - and more tissues -

I'm sorry Shayla, it was indeed quick. But sometimes you just have to rip the band-aid off and get it over with. I would however like to introduce you to to in my opinion the best doctor Peter Capaldi! Looking forward to seeing you watch him, much love!

It’s a paradox, as it’s the longest and fastest regeneration. You are not alone ( YANA ) lol, we all went through it, and we then had to endure the wait for the of 12. You can jump straight in. That aside great reaction as always, great edit with all the best stuff in. It is on first viewing a little patchy, but it’s worth going back and watching again as story is better than I remembered first time. The “like breath on a mirror” line is heartbreaking it’s a brilliant farewell speech and he delivers it perfectly. Humorous fact both Matt & Karen are wearing wigs as she was filming guardians when the scene was shot. Looking forward to deep breath and that moment. Be gentle on 12, he’s grumpy, but beautiful in his humanity

Oh man .. here come the tears again!!. It was painful losing my first and favorite Doctor ...Eleven and Matt Smith will always be my Doctor. I like how this ties up pretty much all the threads in Smith’s run so far and his regeneration speech and scene is beautiful

Love your videos so much never stop

His name is Matt Smith, and the Long Song ended with him.

ever since i started watching your Who reactions back during 10s era i've been waiting for this one.... way to not disappoint!

Matt Smith had great and epic speeches as the Doctor, he was wonderfully emotional and put so much feeling into them. But now we get Mr. Angry Eyebrows
