Please God, NO. We'd spend hours waiting for trains that would be amazing if they existed, but no, he keeps hinting at them and then chastising us for thinking a train would show up.
"If you want to destroy really good things, Chris you can. And you know who's fault it is Chris? It's your fault Chris, you." Well that aged marvellously didn't it?
How can you put Clara in that ? I hated that moment. I feel it like they needed to put that moment to end Clara story, like a box you tick. "We will need 30s of Clara in the plot guys, dont forget." But for god sakes, it can't end like this. She had a Tardis, she is immortal with another immortal, he waited 4.5 billions years to try to save her. Remembering her should've been amazing, and not happen in 30s but slowly during the episode. They had all they needed but they didn't use it. Rusty for example.
That's how you know a doctor is going to be good. Two simple words and she won me. I was excited when I first heard she was going to the doctor but now I'am ecstatic.
Just an hour of absolutely stunning awesomeness! The Doctors performed wonderfully together and YES Clara actually returned as I hoped. Can't wait to watch series 11!
“Chris, you wanna blow up this beautiful set then go ahead! That’s your choice! You wanna destroy beautiful things then that’s on you!” Honestly, listening to this from Moffat sounded very relatable 2:25
Thank you Steven for the memories and the life lessons... we will miss you... and goodbye Peter you were awesome and we loved you... I AM SO SAD THIS IS OVER
Liam Cahill As much as I love Murray Gold's contribution over the years, new music will help make a clean break and will be most welcome. I'm hoping for a drastic change in the opening theme's... Arrangement? Orchestration? Not a music person, so maybe both
IngotAU yeah I feel the same. In Classic Who they alternated composers every couple if episodes and I think that would be a good idea, cause it'll open the composers to more exposure and give each episode(s) a cool new feel
@@morningcoffeecat2271 classic who had shit music (apart from the wonderful titled music of course) most of which was either taken from stock in the Hartnell/Troughton era, or was annoying electronic stings and pantomime organ interludes when the baddies came along. Murray Gold was a genius and whatever critics of him say, those are the Doctor Who music tracks you can play again and again, that are recognisably Who, and have true emotional pull. The modern music after him is bland beyond belief. More sophisticated than the classic twangery, but it is in the same vein. It's just digital filler! Unidentifiable background music that no one remembers.
Really great episode. No real threat or problem for the doctor to solve. But a heartwarming episode.Lovely send off for Capaldi. Great Cliffhanger as well. Can't wait for Jodie to get out of that rather difficult situation!! If only I could travel into the future to watch the new series in autumn but the Tardis is on fire so I can't!
02:33 " If you want to destroy really good things, Chris, you can. And you know whose fault it is? It's your fault, Chris. That's what I said. You. " If only he knew.... :/
Peter was fantastic and so was the story and I can't believe who the captains name was and Rusty came back and the ending was sad, however I feel this episode is going to be a classic in the future.
Blastfrom thepast actually, a lot of people had another theory about him. They thought he was the creator of the police box, Gilbert MacKensie-Trench. www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-10-05/doctor-who-christmas-special-mark-gatiss-inventor-blue-police-box/
This episode had the timeless reach of an auld Scottish poem, I could sense the mists, heather and battle. It will exist in the heart and imaginations of all who watched, will watch, forever watch forever! Capaldi was preternaturally the Doctor, his hearts 'n' souls. The world is suddenly a better place for this remarkably heart warming piece of television. Thank you from the bottom of my very full single heart, overflowing in fact, Steven Moffat. Gx
I grown up with Moffat's run when I saw S5 finale at start of high school, loved it and went back for the entire 2005 run.I enjoyed every bit of the ride as life collapsed/rebuilt around me, but now here we are at the end of the road. School's over and university next, life is again at a crossroad as I struggle to accept change from one thing to another. But Doctor Who will be there to lift me up from the problems of my past and let me carry on regardless of what the future awaits. As it always have been, regardless of who carry the torch. Regardless of the flaws in writings and regardless of the limits they push. It will always be that one thing I goes back to when everything else falls into ashes. Love, a fan. (Give blessing regards to the new torch bearers.)
Moffat can finally rest. Really glad he can take time for himself. Yes, he had his flaws. But he knew how to set things up. For crying out loud, he came with the idea for Heaven Sent on a talk show. A TALK SHOW.
The Bad Wolf theme and variations of it have appeared throughout the show since 2005, Rose or not. It's most commonly called The Doctor's Theme now, so correlation with Rose isn't definite.
I'll always be critical of people who control a show I love, and with any and all of my issues with Steven Moffat and can't help think "You Know what...You did great" Because he gave us 12, Peter Capaldi as the Doctor is the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. Thank You Maffot...And Good luck to Chibbers, between RTD and the Maff...He has to make sure many more Doctors Can let themselves go :')
I just realized that Mark says that he brought Jon Pertwee's jacket down, "on the last day (of filming), yesterday". Yesterday! You were there that long ago and that close to the day, Christel?! Now I got something else to be jealous of
I sometimes struggle to justify the relevance of the BBC and paying the license fee but then I see Doctor who in all its brilliance and realise it’s worth every penny. Something to be proud of,Jodie will be amazing
I'm with you. This was the first time in all of 2017 I watched something on TV live. With the whole family sitting around together, that never happens! Only Doctor Who can do that. Plus it helps that the episode was "brilliant!"
I can understand that thinking behind the license fee and the BBC even though I don't agree with your thinking. It pays for much more than what it seems. UK TV would be in a terrible state with the BBC, it would be all commercials, sponsorship, product placement, non-TV companies making and deciding what happens in TV shows, ratings would decide all etc etc. As bad and out of touch as some parts of the BBC are, we are much better with it than without it.
Well, it's a little early here in the States, but why not, it's not like I've never skipped to the last page before.... Also: Why does he keep regenerating with theTARDIS in flight? He has to know by now that's a bad idea!
I loved this episode. David Bradley was absolutely brilliant, as was Peter of course. Loved how they dovetailed it into the Tenth Planet. It was poignant, sad and also very funny: "they took out all the jokes". I was hooked by Jodie before she even said her first line.
that was just epic! ....I love it when the episodes are like that.... some how everything from the past is getting connected..like a huge puzzle …and very beautiful …when old and dear characters are included in the story...so no one ever will be forgotten....that kind of thing that reminds us why doctor who is so special to us...having fun, adventures, deep friendship, kindness
I loved it, my only gripe is that it lacked a wee bit of omph when needed , in build up to conclusion it just went really flat.. But final scene with Jodie Whittaker had me sat up lol
Oh, god, that was good. Just watched it on Iview. Wait, but since Nardole appeared at the end as one of the Testimony, does that mean he died defending the villagers from the Cybermen in the Doctor Falls.
The testimony was created billions of years into the future but also given that time moved differently in the ship where Nardole was with the villagers he probably died while trying to move them from one floor to the other.
Im in tears... Invisible hair 😥😥😥😭😭😭 I love you moffet but why did you make her drop the ring! WHY DID YOU MAKE HER DROP THE RING! River please meet your wife!
Pyro91 Not necessarily. She is still a resurrectable pattern of information in the Library's computer. It should be a sinch especially with this episode's antagonists.
Yes, River can still return and the actress said she would be open to that. Still, I feel the River's story started and ended beautifully. I feel a bit strange bringing it back. I guess it's time to let it die.
It would be great to have River back but also it would feel a bit strange. Since the 55th anniversary is coming up maybe they can have a big story line including some of the doctors from the past or some of the companions coming together like they did with Tennant during season 4.
Loved Jodi right away. Really looking forward to seeing what she and Chibnall have in store for us. And it looks like we're getting a new desktop theme! I hope it has more round things. I love the round things.
That's cool that the first scene Peter filmed was during "Deep Breath" and the last scene he filmed was the regeneration in "Twice Upon a Time". Seriously, everytime I see David Bradley as the First Doctor in the wide shots, I keep thinking for a moment that really is William Hartnell even though he died way back in 1975. Oh, and I liked that they credited the actors from "The Tenth Planet" in the end credits. I had a feeling they would credit Hartnell, but had no idea they would also credit Anneke Wills, Michael Craze and the writers Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis. That's nice of David to say he'd be delighted if he was asked to appear alongside Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. Ah, so Christel got to say "Don't forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who RU-vid channel." this time.
He is but if you call him the 1st doctor than it's going to get confusing about what to call the first doctor of the old regeneration cycle. When John Hurt was introduced as the War Doctor it threw people of a loop so you can imagine what this will do.
Now it's over, I really want to interview Steven so much. It's delightful watching him spilling all the details he has always not been able to about this show and I just wanna throw questions at him and watch him go to town.
An actually good Christmas special of Who. A Christmas miracle I say. A good end, and a frightening new beginning for Chibnail. Also, the musical callbacks are great, they should keep that in most episodes I honestly don't know how long this comment will go on for... I've still got 18 minutes left...
I'm in 2 minds about this episode. It was a good one, but still left a *lot* of loose ends that I don't ever envisage being tied. (Uploading memories to a computer is copy/paste not cut/paste - the original still exists). I am looking forward to the next series, but autumn? This really should be sooner rather than later.
It made no sense that the so-called Testimony characters were making new words, actions, memories in real time, interacting with the Doctor, not just showing memories.
daffy deel if your present is not based on everything from your past, maybe I would agree. But if there was sufficient programming to capture a person into data, then it should replicate the next actions that previously human mind would make with accuracy. But every successive action has an obvious bias towards not having a human body.
Capaldi's speech to Bill, Nardole and Clara brought me to tears. It was beautiful. Thank you Peter and the rest of the fabulous DW team for making me laugh and cry over the past 3 years. I can't wait to see more of Jodie!
Thanks Peter, while I haven't enjoyed all of your episodes none of that is because of you. You always put in a phenomenal performance regardless of the quality of the scripts. At least if I'm not having that much fun you are. You're so the Doctor in many ways you worked to embody him inside and outside of the show. You have been the best Doctor for a long time. I know you're unlikely to see this but if you do thank you Peter for 4 years of adventures in time and space with a sensational doctor created by one of the best actors to play the Doctor .
I'm calling it, this is another closest we'll get to DW Confidential. I really want to know if Capaldi did a speech after his golden rap! Nice outfits Christel by the way ☺
+Joshua V. Harding Out of context, in my notification, your reply read very different to the reality. ;-) Yes, I suppose he did with ;shut up' but he only used 'pudding brain' once, didn't he?
LOVED IT! And keep on making the aftershows :) Goodbye Steven and Peter and everyone else who may not be involved in this magical world again, thank u so much for everything
technically, Moffat and Chibnall started their eras exactly the same. Moffat wrote Matt's scene in The End of Time, and Chibnall wrote Jodie's scene in this one
I notice that 10th, 11th and 12th all crash the TARDIS... and now 13th crashes the TARDIS. Dear lord every new face since 10th all crashes their TARDIS, can't one not crash one, just one.
I enjoyed the commentary but I really wanted to hear more of David Bradley answering questions. I'd love to see him in the 55th or the 60th anniversary specials. He filled me with so much nostalgia I almost forgot Peter was regenerating.
I'm going to Miss Peter! I'm a baby Whovian. He is My Doctor. He Has played the Doctor In Every Episode I've seen Live. I have loved all the doctors. But Peter Is my Live Doctor. I cant wait to see what Jodie brings. I think The Christmas Miracle in WWI was a Beautiful Touch to this Episode. What a way to send off Peter!!!!
