So which cast member you think would win an episode of The Weakest Link? You can actually find out! As they had a Doctor Who episode and someone has posted it on youtube.

[@ghostsurfer23]

"Yeah, and doesn't that scare you to death?" is one of the greatest speeches in Doctor Who. Heck, in fiction. Such a good buildup to the finale.

[@dukeskunk]

This is 100% my favourite 9 moment.

[@phtevenj]

the way you screamed when Rose got "eliminated" is exactly how I felt the first time

[@Vincornelis]

This first series is legit. It's hasn't aged badly at all. OK we've got way bigger sets and vastly superior cgi now and the fashion is painfully mid noughties even in the far future (a deliberately choice as trying to invent future fashion tends to age worse than just using regular clothes of the day) but the storytelling, the acting and the music is on point.

[@user-wl9gw7xe2q]

It’s got character in those obviously anachronistic bits which I love. That’s why the current super-smooth CGI rlly doesn’t work for me as it doesn’t have the character

[@scubasmith]

TORCHWOOD is an anagram of DOCTOR WHO. When the new series was coming out, all the film canisters were marked Torchwood so if someone tried to find them, they were not marked Doctor Who and easily found.

[@Yngvarfo]

They didn't just reference contemporary shows. They actually got their hosts to voice robot versions of themselves. So Anne Robinson, the then host of The Weakest Link, voiced the Anne-droid, Davina McCall from Big Brother voiced the Davinadroid, and Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, from What Not To Wear, voiced Trine-E and Zu-Zana. While the others were BBC shows, like Doctor Who, Big Brother was not, so it needed some more behind the scenes negotiations to use the format.

[@donaldb1]

@@MatthewCYN15 Yes

[@chilixocoltl]

I remember watching the ep of The Weakest Link that came out around the same time as this ep, featuring actors from Doctor Who competing for charity.

[@Yngvarfo]

@@chilixocoltl - Hosted by the Anne-droid. For five seconds, until the real Anne Robinson entered the stage and pulled its plug. Why didn't Rose think of that? It's on KZbin, unfortunately not in the best quality. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2eVaauketJqgqssi=7oQ0Rji7cTgFXIhu

[@adamsnavely4193]

The Doctor’s last speech is one of my favorite moments in the whole series. “Rose.” “Yes Doctor?” “I’m coming to get you.” Still gives me chills.

[@obiwankenobi687]

Big brother hosted by Davina McCall in real life at the time who voiced ‘the davina droid’, weakest link hosted by Anne Robinson who voiced the ‘Anne-Droid’. Who actually looks just like Anne Robinson at the time it’s so iconic 🤣 and then What not to Wear with Trinny and Susannah voicing Trin-E and Zu-Zana And side note, Billie Pipers acting is so good, she genuinely looks absolutely terrified when she loses the game

[@davidmichaelson1092]

"She met him...I love how deeply connected this all is..." You have no idea at this point! That is for later. But...this episode and the next are among my all time favorites. I think Eccleston is underappreciated as a Doctor. His speech at the end of this is one of the most epic speeches in history.

[@greenpeasuit]

Each Doctor has their share of epic speeches. I can't decide which is my favorite from Nine. Either this "Doesn't that scare you to death" speech, or the pilot's "THAT'S who I am" speech.

[@HuntingViolets]

Everybody lives.

[@chazo1367]

@@HuntingViolets It's not a grandiose speech or taunt of an enemy. It's the simple happiness of a man who has seen so much death FINALLY getting a break and everyone involved actually surviving what happens for a change, the damage gets undone and everybody lives, the rarity of that for the Doctor and especially after the Time War where he NEEDED a win like this cements it as one of the best lines.

[@davewhitmore1958]

Phew, you barely dodged a spit-take with Jack's "viewing figures" innuendo LOL

[@davewhitmore1958]

Being a long-time Whovian, I knew it was the Daleks as soon as they cut to Rose on the floor. The background machinery hum gave it away :)

[@stephensheridan1279]

I just love that as a viewer we never really grasped the meaning behind ‘The Long Game’ episode title until the finale!👍

[@10thdoctor15]

"He's so cocky." Great choice of words! 😂

[@dlweiss]

The final 5 minutes of this episode is like a sugar rush! The reveal that Rose is alive, the defiance/death of the Controller, the reveal of the Daleks, the Doctor's badass speech, and the invasion kick-off - all back to back to back. :)

[@paigelogan7600]

This season finale ALWAYS makes me cry. Even now just watching this reaction makes me cry. This is why I fell in love with Doctor Who.

[@robvanriot]

I love how the Daleks end the episode like "Aw man he's going to do something isn't he? We're so totally screwed but sure let's give it a try anyway"

[@scarlettbrandy910]

I love love loved your reaction to this episode. I watched this not long after the new series started airing and to see other people react the way I did after all these years is just incredible. I look forward to the finale episode, it really packs a punch.

As you mentioned, series 1 of Doctor Who is very interconnected for a reason. You see, Russell T Davies had always been a huge fan of DW and always dreamt of giving the show a proper finale (since the original run kinda just fizzled out, with the last serial - the old Who ran in serials of multiple episodes each during each season; similar to modern multipart episodes - being just a normal story), so he approached the BBC with an idea for a single season, a true finale for Doctor Who. In order to convince them (since at that point, the show had been off air for over ten years, excluding the one-off TV movie), he planned out that one season to the smallest detail. And to his suprise, the BBC agreed. Of course, RTD then got more than he wanted, as the Powers-That-Be saw the show's popularity and gave him more seasons, which led to Series 2 being, well, you'll make your own opinions once you watch it.

[@bmatt2626]

I still want a spinoff starring Lynda with a Y and Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North.

[@torontomame]

Yay! I love when I see more of your episode reactions for Doctor Who. 🎉

[@BeeWhistler]

Eccleston only needed one season. He was so op that he had nowhere to go but down after that.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Definitely possible! He brought such an intensity to the role, and an extra darkness being so raw from the war that a new iteration quite possibly served the story. Still, I would have loved more time with him.

[@elyperez4114]

Definetly one of my fave 2 parter. That monoloque the Dr gave to the Dalleks at the end of the episode was so badarse. I was HECK YEAK!, the 1st time I saw it. 😁

[@davewhitmore1958]

AGREED! That monologue was only equaled by Matt Smith's speech at Stonehenge

[@fayesouthall6604]

Great end to the season! Really good. The girl was the big hero in this. She got the doctor into the games knew it would bugger up the Daleks 😂

[@alanmackie7012]

"We thought we fixed something, we broke it worse". Wait until you see the end of The Christmas Invasion.

[@AlmightyCRJ]

Can I just say Kudos to Endemol & [UK] Channel 4 for letting Who use Big Brother - right down to the music, logo & presenter.

[@Gavin-Hewitt]

If ever you needed to post two parts at once, this was it!! 😅

[@cassolmedia]

it's always so awesome when the dr gets angry

[@hallyhop]

Haha I love this 😂😂 Great reaction. Your pure joy watching this makes me even more excited for your future reactions than I already was 🤣 So fun seeing someone get so excited about the show I love so much. It just gets better and better

[@paulhammond6978]

I think the first time I saw this "Hold up, how did he get here? Where is the Tardis?" was my reaction too.

[@medafan53]

I still remember watching this for the first time on BBC3 back in 06, I remember thinking that the Telly was glitching, and I was getting audio from another channel. Also, I don't know if it was intentional, but the scene of Rose seeing the Daleks for the first time reminds me of the scene from The Daleks, the original Dalek story, where before we see the Daleks for the first time we witness one menace Barbra from it's perspective, keeping it obscured.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

It must have been intentional! 👏

[@Z-LightfulMemories]

LOL Love your excitement! Can't wait to watch the finale with you tomorrow (especially as I know what's coming).

[@davewhitmore1958]

He's definitely been hooked by the show!!!

[@jasonjeffery9728]

yeah... ima have to join patreon to see the rest of this season early (plus ones going forward lmao)

[@AbsoluteApril]

Awesome reaction! Totally lost it when the daleks showed up and the fake out with Rose, just such a great episode!

[@duvall5jd]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lynda with a y. She is one of my favorite one off characters. She should have been a full on companion. She was sweet, adorable and spunky, full on ready to participate in the world of the Doctor.

[@CookieFoxx]

1:45 "cocky"?? That's the word you chose? xD 7:54 Exactly how I reacted

[@jennypack217]

Your reactions to Doctor Who has been great! Thank you for not swearing.

[@hoodwinkiez]

You're so hooked lol.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

And the hook keeps digging in deeper!

[@wolandbegemotazazello]

Also see Brooker's Dead Set, where the zombie apocalpse begins on the Big Brother set...

[@dergudegruene]

I love this reactions. It makes me remember the time I first watched those episodes and felt just the same!❤

[@The-Cosmic-Hobo]

As an old school fan - as soon as we hear the sound on board the ship that Rose is teleported to - you know it's DALEKS! (I knew also cos Australia aired this about 3-4 months later than the UK... but - meh.) As for the Doctor's declaration of war on the Daleks, that basically was like a massive massive THIS IS DOCTOR WHO moment. By which I mean - the Doctor rarely ever has much of a plan going into things, he never carries a weapon, and yet they still save the day. It was like this huge nod to fandom - this really is the Doctor that we grew up with. Chris Ecc was not a long lived Doctor, and I doubt he'll ever return to the main series, and I respect that decision, but I really wish we'd had more of him. I presume the journey that the next Doctor ultimately takes would have been RTD's masterplan all along, but I do wonder how different it may have been.

[@summer6100]

Eccleston doing /that part/ in waters of mars would have been stunning

[@space1999]

Such a great cliffhanger and such a great 2 parter

[@botz77]

Sweet Lynda.

[@davewhitmore1958]

When the Dalek's vocal lights started flashing I knew it was saying "Exterminate" and she was doomed :(

[@fayesouthall6604]

Poor Lynda

[@stephensheridan1279]

Keep your ears open as the arc for the next series was just dropped in this episode… you’ll be coming across it again in the Christmas special! 🧐

[@nialldemarshwell5566]

Eugh it gives me goosebumps. So good!

[@discretelyobvious]

Theres a reason ep 7 is called the long game c:

[@jennifermorris6848]

I have been waiting for this for soooo long.

[@sallyatticum]

Best reaction to this episode. haha.

[@karmakkaze]

I love your joy!!!

[@yodieyuh]

Great ups.

[@stephensheridan1279]

I really wish Lynda had survived so we could have gotten some cat fights in the TARDIS between her and Rose as they fought over the new Doctor! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ozzymayhem4]

1,000th like!

[@rhyssuxx]

This final 2 eps are still my fav ever episodes of doctor who. Aside from a couple of the reality shows they mention, it’s aged so well and still stands amazingly

[@paulhammond6978]

I think the first time I saw this "hold up, how did he get here? Where is the Tardis?" was my first reaction too.
