I speak about this in the outro, but I don't think many people watch up to that point as I'm getting a LOT of comments about the Christmas Special and Born Again Minisode so I wanted to write it here so everyone is aware 😊 The next episode is the Christmas Special at the same time as normal. Before then, as a bonus episode, will be the minisode. So yes, don't worry! They are both coming and on the way 💜 Thank you to everyone for sharing so much time with me over the course of this first, and FANTASTIC, season. Here's to many more 🥰

[@space1999]

The next dr is David tennant (he played a baddie in a Harry Potter movie) his time in the role brought the show to its very peak in terms of ratings and awards, its also the beginning of its rapid expansion into the USA... finally, it was so popular at this time, it spawned many spin off shows in which the Dr occasionally appeared, Dr who confidential, torchwood, Sarah jane adventures and totally Dr who.... it was also the start of the Dr who proms at the Albert Hall, where actors of the show introduce the music from the show and during the music, aliens emerged and walked amongst the audience...

[@space1999]

Back in classic Dr who it was hinted that each regeneration of the Dr is a different facet/personality trait of his time lord "whole"....

[@alwillcox]

It's a shame you were spoiled about this being Eccleston's last episode - and the fact that there even are other Doctors. I guess it's something so fundamental to the show that a lot of people don't even see it as a spoiler. But good to know the minisode and Christmas special are on your radar.

[@shabadoo25]

We all lose it when the doctor changes, every time. It's a testament to the quality of the show.

Chris was my first doctor. I was a mess when he regenerated. As much as I love David's doctor it's just sad to think what Chris could have done in the role if things hadn't turned out the way they did.

Every “era” of Doctor Who is someone’s favourite, but for every new era to begin a previous incarnation has to end. As a fan you need to accept that. In fact, I think the absolutely committed fan should revel in that. Doctor Who is a show which not only survives change, it’s powered by change.

[@mellchiril]

Oh yeah, although the end of the current era turns me into a blubbering mess the most. 10 to 11 is... very bittersweet.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Fun fact about the episode title: "The parting of the ways" is the chapter in Harry Potter 4 where Barty Crouch Jr dies. Played by David Tennant. "The parting of the ways" is the episode where Doctor 10 appears. Played by David Tennant.

"I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself" Rose is kind of scary when she's all-powerful. And so passes the Ninth Doctor. He was the first Doctor I experienced and will always hold a special place in my heart. But now David Tenet is here as the Tenth Doctor and we're in for a wild ride. I can't wait! Allons-y!

[@julesreacts]

I wonder if Rose was conscious of the things she was saying in that moment? Does she remember? I love Christopher as well. He seemed so happy. It was such a joyful part he played, but I also found him to have a perfect hidden "creepy" side, too. Onto the next Doctor!

[@ajivins1]

@@julesreacts I don't think she remembered all she'd done which was why they left Jack. It's not a minisode but a short thing where they have a little conversation after this which they did for a charity telethon called 'Children in Need' you should watch before the Xmas show.

When I watched it with my nephews one of them said "She went full Dark Phoenix there!"

[@johnlarro6872]

@@julesreacts Not sure if you've Patreoned this and heard all about it already.... Christopher has said firstly that he struggled with the characterisation of the Doctor that RTD and the production team expected of him - he wanted to play it a bit darker, but they wanted more "light comedy". He found that to be a big struggle for him, as if you've ever seen Christopher in anything else... he's typically quite dark! (Bad guy in Gone in Sixty Seconds, Bad guy in 28 Days Later, police detective in Cracker...) He has also said he was fighting anorexia whilst filming the show, as well as having major issues with the production team. So - as I said in another post, whilst I was really upset that he left the show, because a) he was a great Doctor, and b) I hated that the mythology was "losing" a Doctor so fast) - I'm glad he got out when he did rather than stay on.

[@SeeJay81]

You will definitely miss Eccleston, but you've got so much to look forward to with Tennant. You are right, he is definitely the same person, with the same memories, same experiences, but what you will notice is that the personality does change somewhat. Don't get me wrong, the Doctor is always the Doctor. What we love about the Doctor at the core remains, but you'll start to see a different side to this character each time he regenerates into a new body.

[@julesreacts]

Oooh I love this thought! With each regeneration, his personality may change slightly... love it! I wonder if we will ever get a fully evil doctor 😈

[@Jet-fighter]

​@@julesreacts Perhaps. :P To be clear, this isn't spoilers for any of the show you're likely to watch, but that idea was teased back in an 80s story. But no, the Doctor is always a good person at their fundamental core.

"Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I." He truly was a fantastic Doctor! Christopher Eccleston was my first and forever will be my favourite Doctor. He's such a nice man, I remember meeting him as a kid when he came over to my house for tea. Even though he only had one season, he will always be remembered for jump-starting Doctor Who again and making way for the actors to come.

Now look what you've done - you've made me cry, too. Really though, I've enjoyed watching your reaction to this show. When it first aired, I watched it with two friends, one of whom was also an Aussie woman about the same age as you are, and neither of which had ever seen a Doctor Who episode before. Myself, I've been a fan since I was a wee lad (in 1980!), but this version of the show was very different from what had gone before, so it was completely new for all of us and we loved it. It brings me a great joy to see someone experience it for the first time and have such a thoughtful, intelligent and sometimes emotional reaction to it. Your editing is terrific, your comments are spot-on and I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the next Doctor (for the record, my Aussie friend quit watching after Christopher Eccleston left because she felt he couldn't be replaced!). All the best, and keep up the good work!

One of the wonderful things about this show which has been going since 1963 is that there have been so many actors playing the Doctor in their own way. Every Doctor is the same character, but they all have their own personalities and quirks. And every fan of the show has their own favourite Doctor - it's often the first one they saw.

It’s been such a wonderful journey to watch you watching this first series through fresh eyes, feels like I’m getting to re experience it all over again

[@hamzah5643]

The transition of the doctor not only depends on the new Doctors performance, but the performance of Rose. She has to reflect the audiences reaction, so at first she's not used to him, and treats him like a stranger, then gradually his personality and actions proves to her, and the audience, that yes he is indeed the same Doctor.

[@paulmeadclarke2382]

David Tenant had the hardest job replacing chris but he did it well

[@michaelchampion936]

The regeneration started back in the 60's when the first Doctor left the series but the BBC still wanted to keep the show as it was doing so well. They then made a decision that there were only so many regenerations that each timelord could go through, they gave a high number thinking the show would never last that long.

[@mustbge0]

I've got to say it, this is one of the best Doctor who reactions on KZbin, up there with FilmBuff.

Eccleston and Tennant are my favorite Doctors. Love what both bring to the show. Can't wait for your reaction to the next episodes and everything this new Doctor brings. Love these types of episodes and how emotional they are. Was crying myself by the end. The ones where he changes always do. Rose is awesome. As always, love joining you on this rollercoaster.

[@littlecitygirl]

This is such a fantastic way to cap of the first season of the reboot. Chris is an amazing Doctor and when he sends Rose away and says "Have a good life, Rose, have a fantastic life" I always tear up. I do sometimes have mixed feelings about Rose - she's a great character but somewhat insensitive to other people when she's focused of TARDIS/Doctor stuff. Having said that, the Bad Wolf scene with her channelling the heart of the TARDIS is brilliant. And yay for you seeing your first regeneration scene. Farwell to Chris Ecclestone, he's been fantastic and I'm sure you're going to enjoy David Tennant just as much. Each actor brings something different to the role, but are also super respectful to keep the core of the Doctor the same, so you are in safe hands. I've loved how much you've loved this season, Jules. And I'm glad you know about the Christmas specials as the next episode is The Christmas Invasion - fun times.

There's a big chance someone else mentioned it but if you want to know what happens with Captain Jack, then you should watch Torchwood! Its a more adult spinoff of Doctor Who that follows some of Jack's adventures. Season 1 of Torchwood happens after Doctor Who S1 and before S3 Episode 11. And Season 2 of Torchwood happens during S4 of Doctor Who, up until S4E12 where they cross over again! Its obviously not necessary to enjoy Doctor Who but its some additional good stories and very dear to my heart haha.

Your reaction to this was everything. Eccleston was a fantastic Doctor and it's sad he left due to issues with the higher ups at the time.

I have a friend who was a little girl in 1963, when the first Doctor regenerated. Back then of course nobody knew it was happening, no internet, no leaks. They knew the actor was changing, but not how. She says her entire family (who loved Dr Who) were standing in their living room, watching their favourite "cranky grandfather" getting sick and obviously dying. Then, suddenly, he was shorter, younger, completely different. They went mad. It is estimated that about 80% of the ENTIRE TELEVISION AUDIENCE in Britain (at the time) tuned in to the next episode to find out what the HELL had happened. It's the blessing and the curse of the Whovians. (we fans that is) Everything changes, and everything stays the same. As film guru Leonard Malten once wrote. "Regeneration is the single most brilliant concept ever conceived in any movie, tv show or story telling of any kind"

This was an amazing finale, the emotion of the regeneration and the way it was handled, saying what needed to be said and then it was done. Brilliantly executed. No matter how good Tennant is in the role, I still miss Eccleston. When I first heard about the casting, Billie Piper was to me just a pop singer, and he was the last person I thought would ever be the Time Lord, and I thought 'no way this is going to work'. I was very happy to be wrong and fall in love with the show all over again. One line did it for me; lots of planets have a north in the first episode. That was when I knew the Doctor was back. As for the next series? It's going to be brilliant.

I remember the first time watching this through, as my experience landed me in the same boat as yourself only I had NOOO idea the Doctor regenerated. Recommended to me by a friend of mine to begin with Eccleston as the 9th to the 11th Doctor (which was at season 7 of NuWho at the time), where Doctor Who had been on a mild hiatus following the 87 cancellation and the 1995 film which attempted to bring it back, I was told I'd appreciate it more simply due to the initial 1963 "effects" of the show. I couldn't hold back a single tear watching this along with you. Doctor Who gets me EVERY TIME, and if you believe this finale was emotional or even it's share of episodes and interactions with the Doctor, your in for an exciting incredibly emotional journey in the TARDIS with us.

What a great reaction to your first regeneration. It's a unique thing and I can't think of any other show that does such a thing. There will be Doctors you like more than others, and who the Head Writer/Producer ('Showrunner') is very influential in determining the tone of the show. But when everyone is on their game it doesn't matter who's what, the essence of the show and the character shine through. The same is true, of course, for reactors. You can't manufacture the emotion you showed in those final moments.

Welcome to what it truly means to be a Doctor Who fan. You never really forget your first regeneration. Once you get attached to that version of The Doctor, it's always sad to let them go but there's happiness too because each time you get something completely new. I admire your outlook, though. So many people dig their heels in and have trouble accepting change but are often surprised to find how much they fall in love with a new incarnation. Glad you're already open to possibilities.

Thank you SO much! I have to say I've watched a few episodes from season 2 and I never knew I'd be so accepting of a new doctor so quickly. I think it's one of those things you just have to let go of expectations and dive in with an open mind 💜

[@H2E47]

“Have a fantastic life” although he had one of the shortest runs as the doctor, Eccleston is still one of my favourites.

[@julesreacts]

Many comments about it across many videos! I don't know when the next doctor regenerates, so hopefully it stays that way 🤗💜

[@AnarchyShogun]

Just a point, since you asked about Jack. The Doctor doesn't know he was brought back to life. Jack was elsewhere in the station, and Rose just said "I bring life." Rose may know somewhere in her memory, but she might not. Having the heart of the Tardis inside her head really screwed with her, she might not remember much.

[@Cursedzeba]

People often missed the implicstion they lied about the weapons being able to stop darleks. Jack knew they would not but they needed to slow the Darleks down anyway

[@seomews]

ahh. this episode ☹ i really wish christopher had more time as the doctor because he was SO enjoyable ((and fun fact he is SCARILY similar to my dad. almost his twin)). now i went into this show _completely_ blind. had no idea this was a reboot, had no idea the doctor could regenerate so i genuinely thought he was dying. i was terrified of the new doctor because you gain an attachment to the previous one and "no one can top him!" and they always go out SO emotionally !!! really pulls at your heart strings. god. im glad you enjoyed it and bawled just as much as i did. truly a remarkable episode

[@julesreacts]

It was an incredible ending for a beloved doctor. I wish he stayed longer as well 😭

I've been meaning to say for a while - I found your channel while looking for a Buffy reactor one day while bored, and really loved yours - but my true fannish love is Doctor Who, so it's been a complete delight to see you start reacting to it, and enjoying it so much off the bat. Good luck getting through your first regeneration experience - the "don't go" & "ooh, new Doctor!" eternal war in our hearts, heh. I started when I was growing up back in 1988, so my favourite Doctor remains the 7th, but I do genuinely love all of them in different ways. I hope you will, too. (My fave of the newer Who Doctors are yet to come, so... there's always more with DW.

[@julesreacts]

Awww thank you so much! Come for the Buffy, stay for the Doctor 🥰🥰

[@Karnaax_]

Your reaction to this whole first series was so pure and perfect. I'm glad that nearly 20 years on you can find so much joy and emotion in it as we have over these years. I look forward to you watching series 2!

[@julesreacts]

Thank you so, so much 💜

[@Shoomer1988]

Everybody has "their" Doctor. The first one they watch and usually their favourite. Mine was Tom Baker aka the 4th Doctor aka the Best Doctor.

[@HedeccaTamer]

Watched all your reactions just today after this video turned up on my recommended and loved it! You're such a sweet and wholesome person to and you give off this really lovely vibe that makes your videos amazing so watch, also love how you're not afraid to cry on camera and how much you care about the story and characters, can't wait to see this series continue

[@julesreacts]

Oh thank you!!! Wow, that's amazing 💜 I'm so glad you are enjoying them so much ☺️ I am excited for more and can't wait to get to know the new doctor!

[@SunshineSML]

Words cannot describe the magic and emotion Murray Gold brought to Doctor Who, the show would not be the same without him

[@xedalpha1]

Daleks with a concept of original sin. Now that is scary.

[@recklessrogue9027]

Of all the many episodes this is possibly in my top 5 still! The amazing but terrible moment of seeing a proper dalek army and the Emperor himself to the amazing exchanges between The Doctor and Rose, The Doctor and the Emperor and Rose and the Emperor. Not to mention the emergency program 1 scene. Then that ending scene is beautiful and sad all at once every time. Christopher Eccleston did A FANTASTIC job at bringing The Doctor into the 21st century.

[@themediater]

The emperor daleks voice is very well done. Got a very effective... uh, effect on it.

[@carlh429]

Oh what a rabbit hole you chose to explore here. You’re at the beginning of an amazing journey. Enjoy the ride.

[@Katiekooleyes]

Congratulation on your first regeneration. You're now officially a Who veteran! Series 2 was my favourite, so I'm looking forward to you covering that along with the tenth Doctors first entry in the Xmas special.

[@AubreySciFi]

The core traits of the Doctor never change, but certain abilities are pushed to the forefront, and certain personality traits shift a little with regeneration. But all the core memories and basic Doctor characteristics are in there. In the very first season of Doctor Who, way back in 1963, we see the Doctor develop the desire to help people, but his adventurous explorer nature was there from the first episode "An Unearthly Child".

[@the.maxter]

Watching you experience this series for the first time has been so exciting. I was only 3 when I watched this when it was broadcast and therefore can't remember what it was like to see for the first time! I'm so glad you are enjoying what you've seen so far and I can't wait to follow this journey with you :)

[@anonymes2884]

Ah, bit of a pity you were spoiled by knowing this was 9's last episode but still a lovely reaction. First regeneration under your belt, you're a proper 'Doctor Who' fan now :). (for info BTW, in case it's not clear, the mini-sodes are kind of extra scenes and stories that add flavour and background but the Christmas specials are technically part of the following series - the former are always worth watching but you don't really _need_ to see them but the latter are essential)

[@julesreacts]

Yeah, I really hope next time I won't know when the next doctor ends 🥹 Hopefully people don't keep commenting about it haha

[@anonymes2884]

@@julesreacts Yeah, fingers crossed :).

[@rossjohnson5114]

Have seen all the Doctors regenerate and it's hard to say goodbye to them because you get attached to them through out their time as the Doctor. Each one brings something unique to the role of the Doctor. The hardest one to say goodbye too, I think, was Tom Baker because he played the Doctor for 7 years, longer than anyone in that role. Also you should check out the 4th Doctor(Tom Baker) especially with Sara Jane Smith, I think you will enjoy her as a companion.

[@TreyMcDonaldAnimator]

The confused "what?" took me out clean, get used to that LOL this was Rose's golden moment and the 9th Doctor's excellent swan song. I'm glad you're excited for what's to come, the next few seasons or so are highly regarded as some of the finest Doctor Who has ever been. Welcome to the 10th Doctor's era. Allons-y.

[@jameshenner5831]

One characteristic of Eccleston and Tennant. Eccleston: "Run!" Tennant: eyebrow raise!

[@SpiderRiderKya]

Yeah, regeneration usually happen right the end of the episode so we get to see the new Doctor then. Giving us a chance to dwell on this new face till the new season comes out. Or new episode depending on if the regen happens at the end of the season or not (usually it's the end of the season but not always). And yes, while The Doctor changes his face and facets of his personality upon regeneration, he does retain all his memories.

[@TheKaitoKIDOtaku]

Because I got into the show late, I binged the series so fast that I couldn't say I formed a connection to the Doctors/actors enough (im being vague so date ranges don't spoil you). But from that point on I was watching along while it aired on TV and formed a connection to the current Doctor at the time and I took that regeneration hard. I still can't look at a screenshot of that episode and it's been quite a few years. So I can understand the sadness you feel. I've been doing a rewatch of the show. I'm excited to see how to react to future episodes

[@anniesharp4871]

Awww Jules, your first regeneration!! The turmoil of being a Doctor Who fan is that you learn to love the Dr and then they go, and it's awful -- you have to constantly go through an emotional cycle. But, it means the show can continue so that's obviously good. 9 and Rose are so good together. BUT i have to say.... David Tennant is SUCH a legend. He is my absolute favourite Doctor. Don't worry, lots of fab stuff to come for you, Jules!! Xx

[@julesreacts]

Thank you so much, Annie 💜 it was an amazing episode and a brilliant first season!!

[@clash5j]

Congratulations, Juliette! Your first regeneration. The first is always the hardest. You've heard of the 5 stages of grief? I've always thought there should be a "5 stages of grief after a Doctor regenerates"😉 Fans get attached to the Doctor and it can be difficult to accept both that one is gone and that another has replaced him. Sometimes fans can initially be hard on the new Doctor because he's not yet "our" Doctor and we compare and contrast and feel the new guy isn't up to snuff. Also, we miss the old one. However, we almost always come around to loving the new Doctor, until it's HIS time to regenerate and we get those sad feelings again and the cycle continues But, yes, one never forgets their first Doctor😊

[@alexandermills9965]

Yep that's explained. 1. Sadness of the Doctor that we've just lost 2. Resent the new Doctor before their first episode appearance 3. Watch the first 2 or 3 episodes thinking about the previous Doctor 4. Accept the new Doctor and watch their time in the Tardis 5. See them die and go back to sadness again

[@clash5j]

@@alexandermills9965 Excellent! I'm going to have to remember that!

[@sherrysink3177]

I had never watched Doctor Who before this new series 1 with Chris Eccleston, so it was quite the moment when he changed. I knew it was coming because I knew that's how the Doctor worked, but it still was hard saying goodbye to this Doctor. Eccleston is highly underrated, and I LOVE him most especially in this episode. When he tells Rose she's been fantastic, and that you know what, the Doctor's been fantastic too? I get all teary. I also love when Rose shows up after having looked into the heart of the Tardis. With her glowing eyes and epic voice and speech to the Daleks... it gives me chills every time. "I can see the whole of time and space. Every single atom of your existence, and I divide them." CHILLS. Side note: I haven't read all the comments here yet, but I'm assuming someone must have already explained that the Doctor and Rose don't know that Jack is alive? At least, that's how I always took it. He was in a different part of the station, and the last thing the Doctor heard was his death at the declaration of the Daleks, so I think he thinks Jack is dead like everyone else. I don't think they realized that Rose brought Jack back. So they left, and they essentially left Jack stranded there on the station by himself. Which is super sad. I felt so bad for him. (But I was also super relieved that he survived, because he was fun and I liked him. I didn't want him to die.) Can't wait to see your reaction to the new Doctor! ❤

[@julesreacts]

Thank you, Sherry 💜 it was a beautiful episode, and so sad to say goodbye to doctor 9 😢 he was brilliant! Oh yes, a few people explained that they didn't know Jack was alive. I guess I thought Rose knew, but she was influenced by other things at the time, so when she went back to normal, maybe she didn't know 😔

[@kschneyer]

Every regeneration is a death, and also a birth. It is heart-wrenching & tragic, but also exciting and new. The sun sets, and the new sun rises. December collapses, January begins. Every time, it gets to me. Did you notice how, in the first episode, the Doctor was looking at himself and commenting on how silly his ears were? I've always assumed that he had only recently had this body & face.

[@julesreacts]

Yes, I'm pretty sure the 9th Doctor had only recently regenerated and that was maybe his first time seeing himself!

[@scurvydog1918]

Great season finale, a fitting end to send off Christopher Eccleston and a great reaction! Your first Doctors regeneration and the end of an era for you. We have all been through what you are going through, thinking this new Doctor won’t be as good as ‘your’ Doctor, but you are in good hands with the Tenth, he has some great adventures, can’t wait for you to get to know him. See you at the Christmas invasion!

[@mrbrit1218]

Welcome officially to Doctor Who. This is the one show which never fails to break me, this episode in particular with Rose speaking about her dad, and that ending. The show has it's funny moments, it's cheesy moments, serious and dark moments but omg does it do the emotional moments like a cannonball shot to the gut. It's always best to have tissues on standby because you never know precisely when you'll need them. Christopher Eccleston will always be my Doctor, it's true what they say about your first lol, you never forget them. But this next Doctor is amazing in his own right and I'm sure you'll love him.
