SOOO GOOD EXPLAINATION 💓💓💓

woooaahhh . if someone was not familiar with your other videos, they could easily initially take this as like a scorsesian condemnation of video games but then you get started and its more like the similarities between them as technical mediums which i'd never thought about in this way before. nice observation!

JOEL CAIRO MY BOY

I don’t get the YT algorithm sometimes

Why on earth does your channel not have more attention your videos are so well made and your analysis is so good please keep making this stuff

I know this is an old video, but I understand why there’s less trans male representation in media. For a lot of trans men, they go stealth or don’t parade their identities as much. Testosterone is also an incredibly strong hormone, so, men on HRT/surgery might pass earlier in their transition than that of a trans woman. Sadly, trans women get the short end of the stick, because they get so much hate, they also get so much praise/rep. And it’s certainly good for their stories to be told too. That’s why it’s so deeply uncomfortable for lots of trans men to see explicitly open trans men in media, where they bring up their transition or whatnot. I just don’t think it’s a natural or relatable occurrence for a standard person’s life who happens to be trans, unless the exchange in which this information is revealed, is rather intimate or heavily weighted.

As an American I never really noticed the BBC vs News 24 thing, and certainly didn't catch all the cameos, but it's always interesting to hear about

The BBC Cinematic Universe

Incredible video, really enjoyed this! keep up the great stuff

“Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace”, the Davina McCall show Ruby Sunday was clearly meant to be appearing on in “The Church on Ruby Road”, is an ITV show; I think they just barely got away with it because they never actually named (as far as I can remember) the show in the episode.

Were you putting this together when the Hugh Edwards story broke and did you sh*t a brick??

Is it a coincidence that you uploaded this just as the episode with Huw Edwards (Fear Her) was removed from iPlayer?

The one celebrity cameo that actually has interesting Doctor Who connection is Richard Dawkins, who is actually maried to Lalla Ward who played Romana II. So, I always felt that one was a very fitting one to have.

Completely unrelated but I really appreciate the high quality footage here, was the upscaling done in your editing or did you find some other source for these clips?

I wish more series these days would use traditional media like Doctor Who and Utopia did

Yeah now you mention it, I've not really thought about it but this is a thing I've always liked. It made it feel somehow both grounded and surreal (especially as someone in the UK). Uncanny, is that the right word? Very interesting.

I wouldn't mind if RTD cast a historical companion from the 80s, 90s or 2000s so he could use these methods he used back in 2005 more comfortably, he's shown like in It's A Sin that he is certainly very comfortable and familiar when writing for this period. As much as I would love a companion who isn't conventional and isn't from the modern day, I'm not sure striving for being comfortable is the best approach for writing Doctor Who if anything though.

( 1:23 ) The few examples of non-bbc shows I can think of recently are The Long Lost Family thing in Church on Ruby Road is iTV and Ianto watches The Paul O’Grady Show during The Stolen Earth which is Channel 4, but yeah you’re right about Big Brother being the only one mentioned by name not by the bbc! 👍🏻

I love the Paul O'Grady cameo; it is, i think, one of the most realistic depictions of how we would react if something like the Earth being dragged out of its orbit would really happen; while it would be freaky, comedy entertainment would definitely piggyback on it to do quips. I would have loved to have seen some kind of Twitter thing in the same episode because it would also be hilarious to see what people would joke about Anyway, awesome video, really interesting!

Did you start this video before the whole controversy about Huw Edward's guilty plea and his scene as a new reader in the episode Fear Her?

I have no issue with the continued use of TV news for exposition. Whilst we have social media, smartphones etc today we still turn to tv for updates. Social media and phones may break the news, but we still turn to tv to tell the story.

Can I recommend using a pop filter over the mic? They prevent the audio bangs when saying words with "P" in them e.g. Peter picked a piece of pickled pepper properly".

they maybe could've had someone react to the events unfolding on fullscreen mode on a phone and then getting freaked out, then someone else ona pc or projector or tv setup, like different people, and families, and then at the end of the scene, them dying, tho that kind of could be a bit sudden hence it wouldn't work, the characters, on the current modern era of the show and shows, maybe then would've made more sense to be introduced, rather than just being randoms, so maybe like families and friends of some companion or relatives and cousins of those that are just ordinary people and not aware of all the alien things, then with those it would make more sense I guess or have more meaning to have the scene, like as an example, people from Donna's wedding, or like Nerys, so some character we know enough of being a side character, reacting to some social media thing on full screen or something, or then someone sending a video over text / dms with a generic videoplayer that could just be the phone's one, then could be interpreted as the intention of making it universal or like the scene having more time to stand and not being instantly outdated because of some application/social media would change their look

I hadn't realised that was Andrew Marr in aliens of london how I miss that lol. Also i find it interesting that aliens of london is where the dr who universe truly deviates from ours as prime minister Tony Blair is killed by slitheen and all prime ministers after are not from real life. So from 2006 onwards the who universe has different PMs and that makes aliens of london actually one of the most important events in dr who. I wonder if the show will ever go back to depicting real PMs like will it be mentioned that Keir Starmer is PM or will they just continue to go down an alternate reality path.

This was such an interesting idea for a video! I don’t know if this is still true, but at one point, apparently Trinity Wells and the French broadcaster were the only characters to appear in Doctor Who and Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures. RTD not only used the news as world-building on Doctor Who itself, but also used it to unify the Whoniverse in a really natural way through all three concurrent shows! I think Moffat was just quite uninterested in showing what the wider world felt during his tenure, maybe as a side effect of his companions being ‘special’: the girl who waited, the impossible girl etc. He is interested in why they matter to the Doctor and what they think of the Doctor, so they are less of an audience surrogate. Where Rose, Martha or Donna fail to work as an audience surrogate (like when Rose has been away for a year in Aliens of London and is out of step with everyone else, or when the ghosts arrived while she was away, and Martha has been with the Doctor and totally distracted from the Harold Saxon campaign, and when Donna and the Doctor are separated from the world in the Stolen Earth), he can use the news and wider TV media to provide a third person wider perspective for the audience of the scale of the threat in a seamless way, as it is catching the TARDIS team up on what they ‘missed’ at the same time. The wider families of RTD’s companions also help give a ground-level perspective of each issue, whilst also giving us a reason to care about what happens to modern day earth. Amy and Clara and Bill has very thinly sketched families that don’t anchor them to the present much, so we don’t ‘need’ the earth perspective really, except when it affects the TARDIS team, like in the Power of Three or the Wedding of River Song. Tbf Moffat did include BBC breakfast interviewing Charles Dickens in the Wedding of River Song as exposition about all of time happening at once, but it’s strictly expositional and I don’t think is referenced again after an initial montage. It’s so fascinating to see the different priorities of the two show-runners.

The speech from the politician in “The Giggle” is quite accurate in the setting. The room looks just like the new press briefing room in Downing Street and the crest is pretty much the same as the one used by the actual prime minister on their podiums.

so we're just going to forget moffat employing this technique? or it being used in classic who's remembrance of the daleks story?

This was really fun video. there is something contemporaneously missing from Doctor Who since television has been removed. Specifically television as exposition or a demonstration of global impact. I mean imagine a Cyberman global take over demonstrated with swiping through Tiktok, india, japan, scotland, Jamaica. I feel like when social media/texting is integrated it feels natural and contemporaneous. And we can move the story along. But obviously it’s less dynamic to see an actor with a phone. However, with older show runners when they use social media they use it as plot device, rather than communication of exposition. I mean imagine if Jodie had some phones- could have broken up her exposition heavy dialogue.

Beauiful video. Thank you for this treat. ❤❤❤❤

you'll notice that a lot of the shots of news reports, at least in rtd1, are shots of the tv on which they're being played rather than directly showing the report on the tv. as far as i remember, this was a result of a rule that prohibited that in case people got confused and thought it was real.

One of the finest masterpieces to be ever made in cinematic history. This classic grows on you pulling you inextricably into its powerful and poignant storytelling. Outstanding cinematography by V.K. Murthy, coupled with a timeless musical score, and directorial excellence that steers clear of any stereotype, makes this a powerful cinematic journey. The profoundly sensitive performance by Guru Dutt as Vijay, the out of luck poet, is one of the finest portrayals ever on celluloid. Waheeda Rehman as Gulabo, a prostitute who loves him unconditionally, and the opportunistic and selfish Mala Sinha, Vijay's college sweetheart, give memorable performances. Finally, Johnnie Walker as Abdul Sattar, Vijay's friend, carves out an endearing comedy act that remains etched in your mind. His comic timing is matchless. The pathos in the songs of Mohammad Rafi make you want to weep over and over again. This is indeed classic cinema at its best. PYAASA is an absolute must watch movie before one dies. I have watched it over countless times...in the theatre, at home on an hd projector on a 120 inch screen, and practically died admiring its sheer magnificence and aesthetic Finally, I simply gave up counting. It's pointless to keep count of watching perfection on celluloid. It's perfectly okay for a connoisseur of movies to watch Guru Dutt's masterpieces, and forget all the other movies ever made in Indian cinema history. PYAASA, along with KAGAZ KE PHOOL, happen to be the two best things that have singularly proved to be the raison d'etre of my life. They have made my life worth living!

For not showing the bbc logo (and also why most of the news and government statements are shown within the tv "box" and not full screen) I believe its to avoid misleading the public, if someone turns on their tv and its on BBC one, dr who is on and there's a full screen "proper" looking BBC news segment, presenter and all stating that there's a dangerous virus or "EMERGENCY BROADCAST government declares state of emergency" as in one of your examples, that could easily panic someone whos not seeing it in the proper context, BBC news needs to be seen as a trusted and reliable source so out of an abundance of caution stopped attaching their logo to the fake broadcasts. There was actually a case fairly recently of a tv channel getting in trouble for something similar, cant post links on youtube but there's an article by the I with the title "Channel 4 faces Ofcom probe over ’emergency news’ stunt to promote cyber attack drama The Undeclared War".

I think the approach to social media in Dot And Bubble was a nice take on echo chambers and while it doesn't show explicit propaganda, you can infer that there exists bias and disinformation in Finetime. Not showing the format of that propaganda and simply implying its existence makes it timeless. I think RTD was being careful as to not focus on phones/TikTok/streamers, since it's a technology that changes so quickly and it would have been obsolete in 5 years. And probably not in a charming early 2000s way.

my guess is that in the case of more insane sci fi scenarios, they would likely omit showing them with the BBC tag, since in the possibility of those being taken out of context, them having BBC brand attached to them could be seen by some as "damaging the reputation" of a public broadcaster such as BBC.

rtd's had a penchant for writing pretty literally-since i clocked it, every time i put on headphones i'm reminded of Rise of the Cybermen / Age of Steel, which probably dropped right after earpieces emerged and earpods had properly taken over headphones in popularity. now that short-form and streaming are seemingly overtaking the television, it's going to be interesting watching rtd reckon with that in real time. Dot and Bubble is similar to Rise of the Cybermen with its literalness in storyfying emergent technology. both that being on the nose, plus how the users of the dot and bubble/social media are presented as stupid and incapable (rather than victims of a complex dopamine-inducing system pioneered by tech giants for ad money), soured the episode with condescension imo. however i never got the impression rtd talked down on television watchers in series one and two. even the people adopting the trendy earpieces in Rise were represented as victims of lumic's/the cybermen's scheme, if a little silly for getting gamed like that. i guess my only conclusion for this difference is that rtd grew up in a time where tv was never new to him, it has always been a 'natural' element of culture, but short form and social media is relatively novel and is changing culture. he's out of the social media bubble (pun intended?)

i had considered leland as a victim of something bob represents rather than a literal spirit, but i never clocked that he too was probably a victim of abuse and another turn in the cycle of violence. strangely i had also taken that quote among his final words as figurative and not literal, but it is really chilling hearing him say it with that new context

Great video. Unearthing the complexities of human connections, the exchanges of power, trauma, confusion, how these things intersect in the nuanced and murky shades of grey. Using these two shows as vehicles to explore these themes was really genius. I think it’s important to recognize that no one is either a martyr, or demon, solely.

This was a great video, the comparison drew me in but I love the discussion on Laura particularly. Very interesting

Great work at finding ways to bridge these characters & their traumas. Your personal experience adds an impressive additional dimension!

This is exactly what Night Country missed. The supernatural elements are linked to the meta content not a belief in otherworldy spirits.

I think Adric got a raw deal here! He got blown up!! Do you think that his arc could have been extended? Would he have come back, given how he’s stayed with the franchise??

im a mexican with undocumented parents who had to go through hell during the election period in 2016 and a lot of trumps presidency and i really had no issue with the majority of the game. i felt the racist characters were pretty realistic, yes it was corny but a lot of racists are corny LOL. i may be completely biased cause i see my sister and i in sean and daniel but idk. im glad you brought up the white saviors and the police. never noticed that! it IS weird that they force the “police can be good” and the “white people can be good” shit down our throats. there should have been more latinos on the team. again, i loooove the sibling dynamics and it really was a highlight for me that kept me playing!

Have you watched similar mecha anime like the fafner series and bokurano? Curious to hear/read your comparison on these shows with Eva.

“Not everything is gay” but it’s fun to making everyone gay lol

every time I re-watch this show I find new things to talk about w my friends

Nick Nobody made a video smearing me as a predator over my crush on Reimi Sugimoto & other underage characters. A sex abuse victim commented asking he not compare my waifu hobby to her sexual abuse.

been obsessed with life is strange forever im so excited to see new videos about it

Train or spill the blood? The ideas about how having blood racing through your veins brings together so many in Vampyr-fascinating historical details built into the game.

I'm very curious about what you've got to say here as someone deeply critical of Vampyr and especially it's so called "romantic subplot" which to me felt like "man meets woman, what else do you need?" Something I despise in all media. Develop it or bin it.
