World Enough and Time: Doctor Who’s Best Episode 

I hope you enjoyed my look at this story! Here's a link to the reuploaded video on The Doctor Falls. To avoid all the copyright claims, editing isn't as nice. But it's still a good time! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hivRXvMJdDg.html

The point where CyberBill comes in with the line ‘locating Bill Potts...accessing Bill Potts...I am Bill Potts’ is one of the most bone-chilling moments in New Who and it is absolutely perfect

I do agree with how well executed the reveal of Bill being converted was. I wasn't a huge fan of Bill, but even I thought "Christ, that's dark" when it gets revealed she's been turned into a cloth-covered cadaver.

I am one of those lucky gits that got to experience the Series 10 finale episodes at broadcast without having seen the trailers (somehow), and I can absolutely confirm that the Simm Master reveal as intended was phenomenal and completely caught me off guard, as did the Mondasian Cybermen! Definitely one of the best series finales of all time for me.

i didnt get any spoilers, so my wig really flew when it was revealed

I think I’m one of the few people that thinks the ‘trilogy’ of WEAT/TDF/TUAT is absolutely stellar all the way through. It’s an incredible deconstruction of the doctors character seeing him cocky and overconfident at the start like you said, and then by the end of tdf he’s so sick of losing people that he wants to die. Moffat really went out with a bang, I’ll defend all three of these episodes forever

John Simm as Mr Razor is my favourite thing in this episode. I got to ask him about Mr Razor and he said that he was originally going to have a much higher voice, sort of like Borat, but looking at the mask, he wanted a deeper voice. Also I was cosplaying Razor and he said "The bad tea" when we had our photo together.

It is one of the best episodes. I love Capaldi as the Doctor - he's such a phenomenal actor. What happened to Bill gutted me, but it was absolutely brilliant.

I agree wholeheartedly. Also you earned a subscriber when you defended Love & Monsters (iconic ep)

I was lucky enough to know nothing about these episodes going in other than Capaldi leaving, and the master and cybermen reveals were amazing.

I love these 2 episodes, they have everything in them , story, characters , humour and sadness. I really feel bill doesn't get enough love. I think her , bill and calpaldis team are the best team to be in the TARDIS. And calpaldi was phenomenal in these episodes. He's such a damn good actor. He's my favourite doctor. Looking forward to your next video.

i won’t lie this entire series is so amazing. i remember watching it as it came out and loving how dark and morally complex they made it. it was just well written tv, and it just felt so genuinely heartbreaking and uplifting and exciting, and it felt so refreshing to have a series that was completely self contained and made you feel so much and learn so much about the character. there was so much tragedy in the series and the way it was written is the best the show has seen when looking overall at a series

speaking of the Simm Master reveal, I've introduced my girlfriend to Doctor Who (we've just got to season 4 of nuwho), so reveals like these will actually work provided I don't spoil anything and man am I looking forward to her reaction

As someone who saw this with no spoilers, the Mondas reveal followed shortly after by the Sill reveal was almost heart attack inducing just from the excitement of it.

Yes! This two-parter was exactly what I needed at the time and it's still my all-time favourite

Personally bloody love the music when Missy exits the TARDIS.

Personally my top 3 episodes are (if you'll let me count two parters as one): World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls Heaven Sent and The Angels take Manhattan Heaven Sent gets a lot of love already (and rightfully so), but BOY is it refreshing to see World Enough and Time get the love it so very much deserves, looking forward to part 2!

I would love these episodes even more if there was another series between The Pilot and World Enough And Time

Great Video by the way, I love to see some late stage Capaldi adoration

also, I absolutely agree with everything you've said, the characters, the writing, the fact that the og mondasian Cybermen are the scariest (Literally cloth on their heads are the scariest, helped by the fact you know there's a rotting face under there), and frankly the music is also iconic - one of my favourite things in mediums like this is musical foreshadowing, e.g. in Utopia, This is Gallifrey plays over Professor Yana, in "Melody Pond" you can hear parts of it just subtly and in parts of the episode before the Master's reveal, you can hear The Master Vainglorious over Razor. When it comes to reasons why things happen in narrative, I always took Simm returning to Missy as like, a symbolism of a relapse? I know a lot of people thought he just returned to add some spice and was otherwise pointless but he was also an especially cruel Master, and the goatee was also more of the past Masters too. This is absolutely a fantastic episode and my favourite of Twelve's run! (also I'm new to your channel, why do you just have a random cutout of Rian Johnson's face on your wall?)

I love WEAT, one of my favourite episodes too, but I think I love even more the Under the Lake/Before the Flood 2 parter, no one talks about it and I think it's just an amazing forgotten episode, that's too bad

The Doctor hasn't had a positive send off with a companion since Martha. Martha left and got to live a life. but Donna forgot, he lost the Ponds, Clara died and then Bill died. Thus whenever a companion returns they have to come up with a convoluted way of bringing them back meaning that episodes like The Children of Time where multiple companions meet can't really happen which is sad.

thanks for this video :)

I came to dr who after this episode aired and watched this on streaming as part of a binge. The reveal that razor was John simm was so shocking and surprising and wonderful for me (since I didn’t see any promo content for it beforehand). Maybe I’m dumb for not seeing through the prosthetics and makeup, but I’ll take being dumb for how great the reveal was

so happy to find someone so passionate about capaldi’s run, i love hearing your analysis! subscribed :)

This episode is what made me a fan. My first experience with Doctor Who was "The Runaway Bride" I loved David Tennant's character but never thought much about the show. But watching this was amazing. Seeing the Cyberman for the first time, people mid conversion just hitting a "Pain" button just being put on mute; and then that ending. "I am Bill Potts." and the single tear. Simply amazing!

I first watched world enough and time about 6 months ago, and I watch it again 4 months ago, and once again 1 month ago.

this episode became my favorite as soon as I saw it. its so hard to compare the best of the best though.

Have to say that despite knowing the Simm Master would be in it I didn't recognise him until the end reveal, much better Master reveal than Timeflight it must be said. This episode is beautiful, the best villains at their peak, the amazing drama, dark tone, and probably my favourite Doctor of the revival (tied between Capaldi and Eccleston)

i really do adore you joseph

11:57 I didn't clock that it was him until he started dropping lines like "Oh, you really have been here before," and "You would never be so self-destructive," when he's talking to Missy at the end, and even then I only clocked it because I knew he was in the episode - curse you, BBC marketing.

Excellent video! WEAT was the episode that redeemed the Cybermen for me. It brought back the body horror and the creepiness that they used to have. They're at their greatest in ROTC/AOS, but this episode is on par. Loved the design of the Mondasian Cybermen as well! - Corey

Great video!! I got to admit, when I heard that the Mondasian Cyberman were coming back, my first thought was why on Earth would they do that? But, I was blown away by how good the episode was. This episode is definitely up there with my favourite New Who episodes!!

This episode is just exceptional and is definitely my favourite story of all time but also kinda depresses me - it just shows how good capaldis era could’ve been had the writing been there

I would have probably had World Enough and Time as a two partner itself, Could have have it practically a Doctor light episode as Bill just waits and slowly figures out what’s going on. As in more Doctor light that it already is

ahh incredible video !! world enough is definitely one of my fave episodes of all time, it’s just brimming with amazing ideas (time dilation, missy as the doctor, creepy hospital horror stuff) & is super dark which is when the show is at its best in my opinion. u just earned a new subscriber 😅

I doubt that I will ever love an episode more than the girl in the fireplace.

You're right about the "light-hearted" music at the beginning of the story. It's rare that Murray Gold goes wrong but his attempts at levity occasionally fail. The score to Mummy on the Orient Express is atrocious & undermines the threat levels. Another great video.

Great video, I agree this episode and the reveals were amazing!!

I was lucky enough to not have seen any trailers for this episode so I was mind blown by the master and cyberman reveal

It also adds a lot of depth to Simm's Master that he was able to play his role as Razor so well for years, giving more credibility to Missy's capacity for change. You can't fake compassion if you really don't know it at all.

I agree 100%, also I just want to say that I was one of those lucky few that didn't see the next time trailer, so all of the twists were a pleasant surprise to me

Dam i remember i was quite young when this episode came out and it scared me so much it took 5 years to build up the courage to watch it again. Luckily imdidnt know it was a simm or Cybermen story before watching.

12:42 lol

For me, it's "The Caves of Androzani".

I knew The Saxon Master was returning, and I was looking to see when he would appear in the episode, and I still didn't recognize he was Razor. Crazy stuff.

Absolutely! It's a true masterpiece! Doctor Who at its very best! :D Wonderful video!!! :)

one thing i noticed when watching this video is that missy goes in the lift to rescue bill first and stands in the middle. that moment was about her. she wanted to be good, she wanted to save bill to prove she could be good. she betrayed her past self who converted bill into a cyberman. i believe she regretted it and wanted to make it right to bill the only way she knew how, revenge.

Love this episode

I wasnt enjoying doctor who when this episode came out, I definitely fell off the hype train in the big gap between series 9 and 10. As a result I didn't see any trailers or promotional material so the cybermen and master reveal was completely unexpected. At the time I thought it was bad and stupid, upon many rewatches its now one of my favourites too. Series 10 as a whole is regarded a lot higher by me now than it was at the time of release

Love u too Joe

The smacked bottom line, though, was a call back to an actual 1st Doctor line.

It is, indeed, a brilliant episode with some of the best cinematography I've ever seen on Doctor Who. It just crackles with ideas and well-written character scripting and fine acting. It sets up a trilogy which carries The Doctor through an emotional wringer of failure to the point where he an't go on, but finds redemption in a need to save the life of just one man. I just loved the whole thing.

I was honestly unimpressed with series 10 the first time I watched it (I have since come around on it more), but when me and my brother first sat down to watch this episode with absolotuely no expectations (we had not seen the trailer) we were completely blown away. Being lifelong fans of the classic series the reveal was unbeleivable. I thought then and still now that this episode is the best since season 4. I'm so glad we hadn't seen the trailer. The reveals were so cool.

Loving the scongo shirt

i cuaght onto the 4 knocks about the same time he pulled the mask off, the 4 knocks are very subtle throughout his scenes

This is definitely one of those “watch it standalone” as I do feel it’s biggest issue is it’s a lot of what we’ve seen before.

the mondasian cybermen are just so much more scary looking than the more recent robotish ones

Fantastic episode, even if incredibly dark. Certainly the best of S10 and in my top 10. Before this ep, I thought the original cybermen were the lamest-looking monsters ever in Who - obviously just extras in sacks. But after seeing this episode, they are the creepiest most horrifying monsters ever. (My favourite episode, however, is Hell Bent - visually gorgeous and full of lovely dialogue that's loaded but you don't know which one of them has lost their memory until the reveal at the end.)

The title just suits it

Bloody love this episode, always wonder how much better it would've been without the spoilers, still amazing regardless

Another great video, Joe! Can you summarise why you don't like Twice Upon a Time?

Yes, this is an excellent episode. I like it soooo much more than its conclusion in the following episode, as I do kind of wish they were turning them into something other than Cybermen... but that's another discussion.

i love your dry delivery of jokes

cybermug

Great video for a fantastic episode! Tho I will say I could go without the bashing of twice upon of time

Praise be to the giant Rian

I just feel like the doctor and missy scene while they are at the top of the ship when bill is at the bottom in the hospital is a bit rushed😏

It is called a "Cold Open" because there is no warning given to help you "warm up" to the story.

Doctor's worst long running moral + logical failing is his ridiculous pursuit of good + reform in the Master, against all evidence. Never done at worse cost than here. So it's an outstandingly imperfect moment for him, and episode. Doctor who? This is to the biggest mass murderer in his whole experience. Even to try, even to feel + want anything else towards the Master than revenge + punishment, is a moral betrayal of a former 1/3 of the universe, Traken, Nyssa's dad, Tegan's Aunt Vanessa

Peter Capaldi. Peter Capaldi. Peter Capaldi. A damn fine Doctor…

To be fair, Bill does point out that a people calling themselves "time lords" can't possibly be as beyond gender and it's associated stereotypes as much as the Doctor claims

I still think heaven sent is best. I do love world enough and time and the doctor falls but I was so annoyed when capaldi didn't regenerate in this 2 parter,

Hey Joe, please can you show some appreciation for Orphan 55? I feel Julia Foster's performance is massively underappreciated. Thanks.

2 subs away from 200! I loved the 12th doctor and Bill although it felt like Bill got less relevant. Could you make a video on how The Class failed? Edit: just realised the Doctor Who Lego! Oh and also you hit 200 lol

....As for chibnall? well he just changes his tune any time the popularity poll swings against him. Its a shame that since Moffat made all cybermen come from different places, we can't get the mondasian, horrific designs sometime, and get the cybusmen other times, and the futuristic ones....but then, whatever the loud crowd calls for, you can bet Chibbers will try and write it lol.

I'm a simple man. I see Scongo, I hit like

I bet you'd like Spare Parts from Big Finish, if you haven't already listened to them.

Heaven Sent is my favourite Doctor Who episode

On the subject of The Master's reveal. Razor has such a ridiculous accent, it was jarring, I was relieved when it turned out that it was supposed to be put on

Ahh. you just earned a subby, mate. Now, the thing that baffles me forever is, WEAT goes out of its way to be absolutely chilling, and overdoes the human/hospital cyberman body horror....Yet you will find "alot" of people, esp on RU-vid going "ahhh dis episode is soo forgettable, moffat sux balls" or "Rise Of The Cybermen did it better", but actually, this is more about nostalgia, and liking certain doctors or characters. I have actually called Moffatt out alot during certain parts of his time, and he's no Robert Holmes, but, theres a very good reason Spare Parts and World Enough And Time get the critics choice...Its because they pull no punches on horror. its in your face, it disturbs you, and it doesnt apologise. Theres alot of great cybermen designs and maybe even better written stories than the s10 finale, but no RTD cybermen episode comes close to being as chilling....and honestly, *they were never meant to be.* Moffat is an artist, he has a vision, controversial or crowd pleasing, and he went ahead with it, and thats to be respected.

is ya friend from sweden here JOebomb, has there aired a new series after season 10 in the uk yet or are we completely lined up?

I mean you complain about all the running in the runtime but that’s why it’s called runtime so...😂

Well they had to get in a good one before, um... *c h i b n a l l*

If they didn't ruin the Master's return...

I don't think you're allowed to call people "cloth heads" anymore

I hate that they announced the simm master would be back

Isn't spare Parts supposed to be the genesis of the Cybermen story?

I stopped watching series 10 halfway through. Is it worth going back to it for this episode?

_my_ favourite episode of each doctor 1st Dr. The Aztecs (and some others) 2nd Dr. The Web of Fear (it's the yeti theme) 3rd Dr. Inferno/The Claws of Axos/The Dæmons/The Time Monster/The Green Death/Invasion of the Dinosaurs/Planet of the Spiders 4th Dr. The Ark in Space 5th Dr. Black Orchid 6th Dr. Terror of the Vervoids 7th Dr. The Happiness Patrol 8th Dr. Zagreus (Big Finish) 9th Dr. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances 10th Dr. Utopia 11th Dr. ???? (They range form bad to meh) 12th Dr. Under the Lake/Before the flood 13th Dr. The Witchfinders (it's still subpar though) - can you tell which doctor is my favourite?

Michelle Gomez is honestly my favourite actress not gonna lie

Gomez was born to play the Rani. Such a casting waste.

I see the leader of the TARDISposting cult has now moved to RU-vid

I thought that the best episode were Heaven Sent

Season 10 was amazing. Moffat's best in my opinion.

I have really mixed feelings on these two. I thought that World Enough and Time was fantastic, but I really didn't like The Doctor Falls, and found it such a massive dissappointment.

I don’t think it’s better then some other stories like silence in the library, bad wolf and a lot of others

Lpve and Mpnsters is not good Joe...

World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls / Twice Upon a Time WOULD be a perfect trilogy but each episode has like 2-3 scenes that hold it back.
