The Big Problem With Doctor Who's Best Episode 

Now you mention it I want to see midnight edited now to have random clips of donna getting a massage/pedicure etc etc. Like the doctors being dragged out then suddenly donna lying down relaxing with cucumber over her eyes for 5-10 seconds then back to the doctor being dragged. It wouldn't improve the episode and probably make it worse but I'd like to just see it now

Racist Bins is the most accurate description of a Dalek I've ever heard

*So basically, Heaven Sent is an episode that's SO good, that its biggest and only flaw is that not everyone can handle just how brilliant it is.* *What a fckn alpha of an episode.*

Could we not also say Blink breaks away from the typical formula as well? Doc and Martha basically have the regular episode offscreen whilst we follow a protagonist who we have never met before or see again. Sparrow seems to have multiple companions but two get Angled before the ep sticks with one. Yes I suppose the Angels are a typical villain at least in terms of motive: they want to steal the tardis. But even when it comes to saving the day, on surface level it seems the Doctor saves Sparrow and co. But technically Sparrow instructed the Doctor, who then in instructed Sparrow, who then told the Doctor, who then informed Sparrow, who then Bootstrap, bootstrap, bootstrap.... Which of course means, does the text above matter? Considering Heaven Sent is the superior episode to Blink... probably not :P

That "The Man who Never Would" caption over the clip from Attack of The Cybermen is brilliant.

Heaven Sent is a masterpiece of story telling and was the perfect episode to follow the death of Clara.

Nothing on tv will ever match how i felt the first time i realised that he was in a loop.. absolutely heartbreaking

14:10 Love that the Companion who simply left the TARDIS was more permanently gone than the one who Fucking Died.

The first time I saw Heaven Sent, the tonal shift from the previous episode bothered me. I've found that in subsequent views, where I already know whet the episode is trying to accomplish, the tonal shift doesn't bother me and I can appreciate it on its own merits. Every time I watch it, I like it more.

Your comedic scripting and timing is incredible. You only have two Doctor Who videos but I'd love to see more.

Heaven Sent really doesn't require previous knowledge of Doctor Who to enjoy. I actually mixed the episode where Clara died and was confused at first. But the story it tells is amazing, whether or not you like Doctor Who.

Actually the first Doctor Who story to run past the watershed was the TV Movie which ran in a 90 minute slot starting at 8.30. This late start time didn't prevent the episode being cut for violence (bizarrely the BBFC decided that the VHS release had to have the same cuts). This meant that the uncut version was unseen by UK viewers until BBC2's Doctor Who night 3 1/2 years later.

This video was way more fun to watch than I expected, you've got fantastic presence.

"Paul McGann is my dad" congrats to Capaldi and McGann on their beautiful baby boy Owen.

This is one of the few times when RU-vid doesn't recommend me something good but something amazing, great analysis and comedic timing. Already subscribing.

A fellow TV movie defender. Thank you for your service.

Sleep No More was a fantastic episode. It just made the mistake of assuming the audience was watching just because their eyes were open.

True, Midnight really is just every 3am in any Mcdonalds in the UK

A few minutes in and you are naturally funny, have good editing and are engaging, I hope your channel gets more recognition

“See that David Tennant isn’t there - yet” *stares in 2023*

I watch a lot of tv but I have a very tiny mind so I tend to forget a lot of what I’ve watched, including many episodes of Doctor who. I’d completely forgotten how Clara died and the whole plot of that episode but I still remembered Heaven Sent. For some reason it was just a memorable episode to me.

I love your sense of humour - it fits Doctor Who very well, for some reason. Keep it up!

Great production value on this video, kudos. Can't believe I haven't seen your channel before. Subscribed. The Clara scream dub caught me by surprise too, hilarious.

I am a fan of the campness in this video. I'm now entirely emotionally invested.

I'm subscribing simply for how this ended genuinely made me laugh after the prominent bigger on the inside quip

Just wanted to say keep up the good work! I found your channel today and have watched like 4 or 5 episodes in a row now. I was really surprised to see you only have 1.4k subscribers, I’m sure you will go on to get a lot more soon! You have the humour and editing on par with a much bigger channel.

I agree totally with you…that was one of the elite written and acted doctor who episodes. Top 3 in writing and acting. It carried so much emotional weight in a brilliant idea of a situation. I watch that episode every couple of months.

An hour with Peter Capaldi should've been great and I can't fault his performance, but visually the whole episode is grey, slate and murky variations thereof, maybe they just conveyed grief TOO WELL

“You probably go outside sometimes “ 😂

ngl the joke about the venn diagram really made me subscribe

I really like hearing your thoughts on Doctor Who! This video made me watch your other one on Kerblam. I'd love to hear about any of your favorite EU stories/fanmade content, especially for the 8th Doctor.

haven't seen your channel before but I love this video already. Your humour and analysis is a breath of fresh air and really entertaining

The 8th doctor audios are so good that Paul Mcgann is unironically my 2nd favorite Doctor and Charley is my fav companion. The movie is weird but it's not bc of Paul Mcgann. Anyone who likes Doctor who should give it a try.

This is the first time I've come across your channel and one of your videos. You sir, have earned a subscriber.

As a 40 year old man who’s watched since C Baker, I never thought I’d be subscribing to a channel like yours, but you’re utterly impressive…I’ve subbed…keep it up, I’ve no doubt I’ll be bragging about being one of the first 2k very soon. Awesome job, great humor and information given out simultaneously

I love the line "Lower Decks is just Rick and Morty in space...." 🤣

I'll be honest, I might be ~'*wine drunk at 4AM*'~ but that line about having a David Tennant poster annihilated me.

12:29 funniest bit in the whole bit. (Great vid. Made me sad for the days of fun and the Doctor.)

It reminds me of the underwater episode of bojack horseman. The medium itself almost changes. Love the video!

Because Dr Who is for everyone, it means that I can still watch it with my family like I did when I was a kid in 2005. We don't watch the regular episodes cuz I don't live at home anymore but we watch the Specials together. I like how Dr who is for everyone because it means that anyone who watches it will probably find something they like. And we can all be emotionally scared by that dude's face being turned into a gas mask in yhe Empty Child

that David Tennant joke had me pausing the video with my mouth wide open

I think the show’s core value is in its juxtaposition of being for the masses and for the fans. In addition I think the shows very nature is that of a swinging pendulum since in the Hartnell years there was the “history vs. science” back-and-forth where episodes set in the future had more fantastical elements but setting that involved the past were much more grounded.

This is a really well-put-together and edited video!

This guy needs to make more videos like this. Fucking fantastic work. Hilarious and insightful. The memes!

Thank you! Interested to read your old fanfiction. Sounds adorable.

Great video! I just wish you talked just a liiiiiittle bit slower in the voice over segments. I had a little difficulty keeping up with the amount of information presented in some of the voice over segments You have a really good presence and have good points. Have faith that viewers will stick around if you take a more measured pace. We want to hear your analysis and conclusions so we’ll stick around regardless of how long it takes. :)

The 50th anniversary special is my favourite episode

Finally, an excuse to talk about my favorite episode besides gridlock

Man I love your channel, glad I discovered it, especially the mum jokes

This is the best doctor who analysis video I have seen. Definitely subscribing.

just came across this video, i bloody love your input on dr who and your sense of humour is elite !

Only just started watching your vids but by GOD do I like them! You put so much effort, soul and charisma into your work I’m honestly baffled and genuinely jealous! Good points well made too ^_^

This video melted my brain. I need more content from you, I have subscribed This has given me ownership of your soul.

Your channel is incredible lmao. So glad the algorithm showed it to me

I think that tank in 2016 felt like a serious death knoll for Dr Who. Steven Moffat was done (i dont blame him), Capaldi was doing the old 3 season wrap up. I think the biggest tragedy is is that these episodes at the end of series 9 with some of the best for awhile, like I just will never get past how the doctor spent billions of years in a torture prison killing himself over and over to punch through a diamond wall just for it to be mentioned in the next episode then really never again.

underrated dr who youtuber fr

Literally haven’t watched Doctor Who but this video is so well made❤ so cool💀

Good production! I enjoyed the humour you used! And you talked about "heaven sent" for 10% of the total duration of the video... Maius extra qua intra? Cheers

Had me tearing up with “bigger on the inside” and then the last five seconds had monster coming out of my nose

can we all agree to pretend Hell Bent never happened afterwards? The whole "don't worry, Clara becomes immortal instead" thing robs Face the Raven and Heaven Sent of their drama, tension, and meaning. It was a decision borne of Moffat's inability to put his characters through anything hard or hurt them

The Timeless Child score makes sense to me. I hate the twist, but I thought the presentation of the twist was really well done.

this guy sounds like a perfect mix of full fat videos and Jay Exci, like, voicewise. This also means he's really good at video essays.

Holy shit, I was thinking I was in the middle of that Venn diagram but it's the only episode from the fourth doctor I have watched.

Video starts at 6:37

Man, I really enjoyed your editing. Great script!

The Doctor Dances is the best episode of New Who. It and the Empty Child will never lose the crown

That really is handsome wallpaper. Anyhow I agree with the sentiment that Dr. Who should jump from from high concept to low concept episodes. You can have both honestly. Also the Nielsen rating system is total crapshoot. It's why I dislike focus groups.

I think you could also make the argument that Castellan Spandrell is the Doctor's companion in "The Deadly Assassin".

for sure my favourite of your videos! also i do not accept fear her slander only because i had dr who top trumps and the fear her ones were the most mysterious to my addled child brain

Whenever you upload a vid after ages I'm like "I thought I sent you to Birmingham for a packet of crisps"

I think an episode like Human Nature/Family of Blood is the perfect mix of these two aspects of the show

We should definitely of gotten a Potenaster Gang spin off

Well you meandered around getting to point.... But it was a very good point, about Doctor Who at it's core being appealing to everyone, when you finally got to it 😃

absolutely hilarious. tight editing, good jokes, fantastic

Never seen your channel before but this was randomly in my suggested, and I loved it! This video is so well made and entertaining, I’ll be sticking around for more!

The... the wallpaper. And those curtains. Why would you... ... ... who HURT you?

The reason why we fans love this episode is we became the companions in this episode. We had to get into the Doctor's head.

"You look lovely by the way" ME, without hesitation out loud alone in my room : "OH YOU'RE SO SWEET, YOU TOO DARLING !" Love from your black french trans girl 🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

I remember this episode really disturbed me as a kid, particularly because I liked Clara a lot, mostly because when she was introduced she was a dalek and I love daleks lmaooo

I like it when people like the things I like. And I don't like it when people don't like what I like. I like Heaven Sent, and anyone who doesn't like it is bantha poodoo.

awww, thanks for the compliment, babe 😍🥰

I am subscribing and liking because you talk as fast AND how i think, so thank you for that :3

Hey! I don't know if you'll see this, but I would love to hear your thoughts on the newest season! RTD actually seems to be putting in a good amount of work, and in my opinion it was one of the better seasons of new who

I actually really liked flux because it was such a refreshing deviation from the normal monster of the week format. Say what you want about the timeless child plotline but flux was a fantastic way to tell the story it wanted to tell. It was great how it threw you in and let you figure things out and slowly built up the people involved.

You’re an excellent content maker - sense of humor hits me perfectly.

I hope I don't need a tv license to watch this video 😫 😭 😩

7:15 Where the real video's theme begins.

hey i just randomly got this video in my recommendations, and i dont know if this is sudden to ask, but may i ask what your microphone is?

Considering 12 quid in 1963 is about £209.45 now I’m not surprised at the effects quality. I’m more horrified at inflation

This video genuinely made my day, you're hilarious man. 😂

TV movie 2 baby the return of paul megranate

What is the name of the novel he mentioned about the doctor ascending and killing god? sound very interesting

I don't see this as a problem at all, especially since the point of the entire season was exploring the dynamic of the Doctor/companion relationship. Of course the fornula would change shockingly when the companion was gone. 😊

I have to ask. how on earth are you avoiding the copy right bots with your content. I out a 5 second clip from the show in one of my videos and its immediately got a strike on it. I cant use anything more than still images without having to warp the image slightly.

Hi Owen, love your channel, what's your favourite episode from each of the revival doctors?

Like a lot of people are saying, the editing and flow of this video is really great! I’m glad you’ve shown up on my recommended

At 9:07 Tennant looks terrifying idk why. He might be mirrored. Actually that's probably it.

I have to say I quite liked Flux, it was the only part of the Chibnall era I didn't hate. That and Eve of the Daleks. The episodes didn't feel like first drafts rushed into production with zero thought put into them

I’ve been rewatching Doctor who after a long while and I realized that of the Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker eras, Heaven Sent is the only thing that stands out to me. Nine seasons of television and that’s the only thing I remember in much detail. It’s definitely the best episode but says so much about the quality of those seasons…

What an amazing conclusion. That was fantastic
