"Everybody Lives!" | The Doctor Dances | Doctor Who 

"Give me a day like this. Give me this one." That line hits hard. He just wants things to go right ONCE. He just wants that little kid to be okay.

Mrs. Harcourt: "My leg's grown back! When I come to 'ospital I had only one leg!" Dr. Constantine: "There's a war on, is it possible you miscounted?"

"He doesn't understand, there's not enough of him left." Christ that's heart wrenching.

Everybody lives Rose. Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES. How can anyone not love this quote. It is one of the quotes that made me love the 9th Doctor. Even though he was so full of anger and bitterness, he was still someone who wants to save as many people as possible. Just this look on his face looks so genuine.

"20 years till pop music your're gonna love it" I love that line!

I don't know what kind of falling out Eccleston had with the show big wigs, but, whatever it was, it was a tragedy. He was an amazing Doctor and a year or so more of him would have been great.

"Everybody lives!" says the Doctor in the middle of the London Blitz xD

I've always thought that this episode was critical for the Ninth Doctor in healing the emotional wounds he still carried from losing his people in the Time War.

"Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas." "Who says I'm not, Red Bicycle when you were Twelve?"

"He doesn't understand. There's not enough of him left." So basically Nine has just solved a bunch of problems using the old-school powers of brainpower, willpower, and a hell of a lot of luck.

9 truely embodied the PTSD doctor. You can clearly see how the time war scarred him so much that he is ecstatic that for once, no one dies.

"Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES!" This was the quote that cemented the 9th incarnation as The Doctor. He has been through so much pain, bloodshed, and death, and all he ever wanted to do was instead of taking a life, he saved them, as a Doctor should. THAT is why Eccleston was my hero growing up. He forgave himself and changed who he was for the better.

I really laughed when the 10th doctor has to wear a gas mask and just said "Are you my mummy?" XD

I love this moment, I really do. But when you think about it just a little, it's a very sad one for The Doctor. Think about that line. Everybody lives. Just this ONCE, everybody lives. Think of all the adventures The Doctor has and just how often someone dies in each episode. At least one person dies to the monster of the week. The Doctor sees a lot of death on a regular basis. Except this one. For the first time ever (I think), he's able to save everyone and bring them back to life. Not back them up on a computer or leave them stranded somewhere. Bring them back to life. Just this once.

"Just this once, everybody lives." Say what you want about Moffat, but he does keep promises

1:39 I had been on the fence about this show, I didn't know what to make of this Doctor, until that line. This scene sold me on the 9th.

My god, that smile is contagious.

"I need more days like this."

It's a fantastic episode, but this part leaves my stomach in knots every time. This is the regeneration that came after the War Doctor (John Hurt), and he has been so scarred by the fact that he committed genocide of millions of species to end the Time War. Eccleston's Doctor is so down, upset and miserable all the time because of this, and to see how happy he is when he finally managed to save everyone for once... is just amazing. The best episode to come out of New Who by far, possibly even the entire show.

After seeing The Three Doctors special and now we know the story of the War Doctor (The incarnation before Eccleston) this scene hit so much harder than just a plea for a miracle. he'd just destroyed two races and essentially wandered around looking for a purpose. This was actually a healing moment for the doctor himself,

Do you see how happy he is to say that?

Isn't it ironic that Moffat wrote an episode where everybody lived?

"Everybody lives Rose. Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES." Christopher Eccleston projected so much awe and joy in that line. I always tear up. He was such a wonderful Doctor!

"I will always be your Mummy" I tear up every time at that line. Beautiful

0:50 "I am your mummy. I will *always* be your mummy." I cry every time I swear to god.

The best doctor! Always unfairly overshadowed by the tenth. Tennant was great, but Eccleston just nailed the role IMO. You really believe he is the lonely alien time lord with a broken soul but a heart of gold, that is still flying around the universe trying to do as much good as he can despite all of the terrible things he has seen and done. He was absolutely fantastic! Will never be topped for me. I will never understand why he is not that widely praised. Amazing actor.

The happiest scene of Doctor Who takes place during the London Blitz....

One of the best moments from Christopher :)

I cried so much when i first saw this....god I miss the Ninth Doctor so much!!!

3:30 My reaction when I finished Mass Effect 2's story and none of my squadmates died.

Does anyone else think this would have been an absolutely perfect line in 'The Day of the Doctor'?

9 will always be MY Doctor.

It is such a shame that Christopher Eccleston's portrayal as the Ninth Doctor gets overshadowed by David Tennant's ALL THE TIME, Don't get me wrong, I love me some 10th Doctor, but the 9th Doctor,,,the damaged, broken soldier, not caring if he lived or died...UNTIL he fell in love with Rose (and in turn, living again) was an incredibly moving, heart wrenching and lovable Doctor! He deserved so much more than one season! I was devastated to see him go so soon, In my heart, he will always be MY Doctor and the Doctor that Rose Tyler fell in love with. Eccleston was a FANTASTIC Doctor. ;-) :)

"I am your mummy. I will always be your mummy." *indescribable wail*

Nine, Rose, and Jack were...forgive me, "fantastic." The ultimate dream team.

Been seeing some more Eccleston episodes lately and I wish he could of stayed longer. Maybe atleast ONE more season. He was a FANTASTIC Doctor.

The absolute ecstasy on Nine's face just blows me away every time. Chris, you're amazing.

"Are you my mummy?" Darth Vader: "No, I am your father."

Think this is possibly the best ever episode of doctor who.

The empty child after taking his mask off is so cuuuute!

And then, that was the only time that everyone lived.

Just in case people didn't realize it, when the Doctor says they no longer need the bomb, that means his original plan was just let all the gas mask zombies come into one area and let the bomb kill them all. Or at least, that's what I got out of it

This is the moment I was sold on the Doctor. This scene from this Episode. You finally see what the Doctor truly wants. "Oh come on. Give me a day like this. Give this one." He wants to save people. He is coming from the Time War, and he did something He can't forgive him self for, but "Just this once everyone lives!" he says this with Tears in his eyes. He is so happy that He, that one time, got to save everyone. 9 Is my Favorite Doctor, And this scene from the episode is why.

One of the best episodes in the Modern Doctor Who.

I miss Christopher. He was a fantastic Doctor. This still brought tears to my eyes.

I've had times like that... Where just Once you would like things to work out as they aught and by some mysterious quirk of fate... They actually Do. It's a rare treat indeed that makes one forget all the hell that went before just briefly and is a nugget of starlight when the light of the world seems to have burnt out. Definitely a worthy episode to hunt for.

Oh god, I might cry. "Everybody Lives!" always gets me. 9 was always too much for me, that's why he is my favorite Doctor, tied with Matt Smith.

Perhaps now that Eccleston feels differently about the show, he said in a recent interview that he regrets leaving, we could see him return in one way or another. Hell, I think it would just be great if he starred in an Audio Drama series, maybe detailing his life after the Time War, from his regeneration at the end of Day of the Doctor, to his meeting with Rose.

This never fails to tug every heart string I have. You can hear the hope and the despair of what he's seen throughout the years and that joy of having it unambiguously good for once. 'Just this once, everybody lives!' is strong and emotional on its own, but to have had 'Give me a day like this. Give me this one' before makes it really pack a punch.

After remembering that he burned Gallifrey in the Last Great Time War. This was the moment he needed after the "2.47 billion gallifreyan children" thing, DOTD fits together all of the post Time War adventures with the pre-Time War adventures of the old series.

The Ninth Doctor's best scene in his best story. Absolute magic.

Netflix needs to bring back doctor who streaming...

I wished they'd used the "everybody lives" line in Day of the Doctor when they save Gallifrey :)

You can feel the sheer happiness that the Doctor feels. After the anguish of **believing that he's the last Time Lord**, that he'd deserted the Time War when he was most needed, all the guilt he felt, any opportunity to be happy is welcome & embraced by him.

one of my favourite moments. everyone dies, but come on, just once, give me a day where everyone gets to live.

I think this has to be one of the best monsters in doctor who, the idea of faulty medical technology from the far future is in my opinion a fantastic idea.

"I've taken care of it" "How?" "Psychology!" This was underrated

I love that line "20 years til' pop music. You're gonna love it!"

the empty child is the best episode with Christopher.

One thing 9 had going for him was reintroducing the Doctor, who's experienced so many bad days we haven't seen, so many incidents where things went south, so this one moment of everything somehow going right is overwhelmingly impossibly joyous.

Doctor: "Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once!! EVERYBODY LIVES!!!!"

I cry everytime I hear the Doctor scream 'Everybody lives!' He's just so HAPPY. No one was lost, no one had to sacrifice themselves for him, no monster was actively trying to destroy anyone. Just this once, he has a full victory and he is happy. I think he deserves to be that genuinely happy more often. 😭☺️

It is 2023, and I am here because of Magic: The Gathering, the Doctor Who Commander decks brought me here, and I am glad, because I really needed to see this episode. I have been through the worst week of my life, full of mistakes and bad decisions. I needed to see this.

You know....while this moment is a happy one, think about it. Think about that one line. "Just this once...EVERYBODY LIVES!!!" Just this once...once. Think how much death he sees on a daily basis. At least one person dies to the "monster of the week" This one time...he's able to save everyone. Not leave them stranded or on a back-up computer or something. He's able to save every single person there. *Everyone* *~Just This Once*

This is one of 2 scenes that sealed me as a Doctor Who fan. I never watched classic Who (more of a Star Trek guy) But the 9th's first encounter with the last Dalek was very interesting to me. And this scene was the icing on the cake. To see a character with such a range of emotion from pure rage and hatred to such compassion to people who are technically inferior to him was fascinating to me. I was hooked after this. And I still have hope to see Chris Eccelston some time again in the future. Here's to hoping!

I love this episode. I mean even at like 1:06 you can see all of his personality in one moment the absolutely desperate hope on his face that he isn't wrong about what they are doing because he thinks itll work but wont let himself believe it. thats one of nine's big things he never lets himself hope for something he never believes he can save people like this because he couldnt save his people vs with say 11, who constantly thinks he can save everyone even when he cant. I'm not sure which is crueler, to be honest. Never believing you could help people, hating yourself, or believing you could help everyone and never being able to save them all

This is why this is my all time favorite episode. Nine was so happy that just once everybody lived.

One of my favorite moments of Doctor who.

Christopher, I will always remember you for this episode. Especially this bit. Such a happy looking Doctor.

That was a beautiful episode. The smile on Chris Eccleston's face at the nano genes saving everybody was classic.

One of the most awesome Doctor moments ever!

The sad thing is, this really is the only time everybody lives

this was my first episode of Doctor Who. It will always be special

This shows exactly why I prefer the Davies era to the Moffat era. Davies knew how to keep a stable atmosphere throughout the episode, and how to build up to a huge emotional pay out. The fact that just this once, not a single person died, was a huge emotional release for The Doctor and you can really see and tell that. After what he did [or thanks to Moffat what he now THOUGHT he did], where he has the deaths of billions of children on his soul, just the fact that for a single day in his 900 year old life, everyone comes out alive, is something you really feel happy about, purely because you feel happy for HIM. The Moffat era episodes are just too...wishy-washy. They never build up any sense of anger, or hatred for the life the Doctor leads, or anything at all. All the episodes just seem, not from a plot level but from an emotional level, unstable. One episode is all happy then the next is all dark then the next is dark again then the next is happy ect. There's no sense of "dipping the viewer" into one emotion then suddenly smacking their guts out with burst of another that makes you feel character's pain/happiness anymore.

Just showed this to my dad, because of a t-shirt... I have a black shirt with a picture of the kid wearing the gas mask and with the line _Are You My Mommy_. My dad never liked it, because he thought it was depressing. So I explained to him who and what Doctor Who is, gave him the book __"The Lifes and Times of the Doctor"_ (phantastic book btw) and now I have showed him this clip. He now officially likes it and he wants to watch more Doctor Who. :) Apart from that... I miss 9. I love all the Doctors, but 9 was _my_ Doctor, the one I can relate to the most. I had some very bad times in my life and I was very bitter, angry and lonely at times. And although I am a grown up man and Doctor Who is just a TV show, 9 felt so close and real, watching this helped at least a bit.

Yeah this line and scene broke me, totally sold me on the show.

Christopher Eccleston will always be my Doctor. That look on his face where he's begging anything that will hear him, while he's psyching himself up to take the boy's mask off... I get teary-eyed each time.

I love how happy the doctor is here, it's like everything went right for once.

1:53 The Doctor’s reaction never fails to make me happy cry 😢.

I've got tears in my eyes I'm so happy.

"They didnt change you because you changed them!" God I love the delivery of this line its said with such proud and happiness

Does it only take a decade that is now cinematic history and one of the best episodes written?

Still to this day, one of my favorite scenes in Doctor Who.

This is why nine is so great as the Doctor. My favourite episode of the new series. It also proves that Steven Moffat can write great stories. Please give us more like this in Capaldi's tenure.

3:32 EVERYBODY LIVES!!!! Love his face! XD

Ha ha 'Welcome back, 20 years to pop music, you're gonna love it'

I feel like Eccleston is the most underrated doctor ever. He is absolutely amazing and brings out the doctor character so well.

Back when that was actually unusual.

i always cry for some reason

This will always be my favorite moment in Doctor Who history.

One of those videos I wish I could like again every time I watched it. Because I watch it a lot.

Really liked Eccleson and think it was a right low blow for Moffat to say the success of first season was all down to Billie Piper and not even nodding towards him.

I don’t understand dislikers. They got an empty child living. That was in the title in thumbnail. They got what they expected and it’s brilliant content.

I was at a panel with Colin Baker as a guest in Antwerp, Belgium. And he singled out this scene, with Nine going "EVERYBODY LIVES!" as one of his favourites in New Who, remarking that just thinking about it gave him goose bumps. Couldn't agree more.

Made me cry in the best way this episode did 😢

According to my headcanon, Jamie and Nancy were adopted by the kind Dr Constantine, and led amazing lives. Nancy continued her education, and started charities for young mums like herself. and Jamie, became a Doctor like his adopted grandpa and the man who saved him

Such a creepy and emotional episode, but undoubtedly one of the greats Of the entire NuWho. If Chris E ever doubts his place in the Whoniverse, i hope he looks these up and sees how many people love his run as The Doctor.

Everything the Ninth Doctor says is exactly what I would have said. Almost down to the word. I never thought I'd find these emotions anywhere else but myself- and everybody lives, just this once!!!!!!! This will always make me cry and it alone is the reason why Nine will always be my favorite Doctor.

It's really sad how rarely everyone lives so you gotta enjoy these moments

All these years later, this moment still chokes me up.
