17:55 In the interviews they did around this time, David and Matt were each asked what they would most like to have from the other’s DW production setup. David’s answer was “Matt’s TRDIS set” (it’s a full set, while 10’s has a giant missing wall), and Matt’s answer was “Billie Piper”.

Dont feel bad about knowing Tennant was in this. Everyone knew he was.

[@jacobcurle8964]

Honestly I think it’s unreasonable to expect anybody to not know. Tennant was publicly announced as being in the 50th Anniversary months in advance, he was on the poster, he was in the trailers, all the entertainment magazines had him and Smith posing together on the front covers, they even appeared together on the Graham Norton Show as part of the promo... everybody knew at the time, it’s not like it spoils the experience.

I remember scrambling to get tickets to see this in the cinema with my best friend. The only available seats left were right in the front row, on the far left and let me tell you, it was so damn worth it. Packed cinema, full of Whovians, the worst seats in the house couldn't ruin such an immense experience. We were all cheering at Tenant, at Bad Wolf, at everything! It was wild. I'll never forget it. So glad you're finally (even though I watched you watch it on Patreon back in Summer 2020 lol) getting to watch it!! A love and well wishes x

It was so great Billie came back. This was the first time people saw the eyebrows. It is theorized that the curator is a future incarnation (course it was great to see Tom again). We absolutely LOVE Kate Lethbridge Stewart. The war Doctor is an amazing version of the Doctor. Also he regenerates into 9, it's not long after till he meets Rose in Rose

[@ajandrianjafymusic]

Hurt, Smith and Tennant the comedic trio that we didn’t know we needed

[@redgeorgieredgeorgie]

In the lead up to the 50th it was well known that David Tennant was in it. Previous Doctor Who Anniversary specials always had a past Doctor or Doctors returning. It might have been better had we not known but I don't think the BBC could really have convinced people that the 50th Anniversary contained no previous Doctors. No one would have believed it.

[@rowanclarke5703]

Silver Nemesis was the 25th anniversary and wasn't a multi doctor story.

[@lukeyread]

The scene with the three doctor’s and the moment in the Tower of London is a superior doctor who scene. SO good

[@MeleeHellBot]

"is Christopher Eccleston gonna come in?" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@tycol322]

I wish. His refusal to take part was what supposedly inspired Moffat to create the war doctor. Eccleston infamously says he'd only do one season and so far he's kept to it

In fairness, you're getting the same experience as most viewers because "David Tennant" is in the opening credits, as is the other casting surprise (usually anyway - i'd bet a kind internet credits fairy removed them for you :). So even if we'd somehow stayed totally unspoiled beforehand (which wasn't easy at the time), we also knew before he appeared.

[@tycol322]

I think she has an editor who removes the spoilers like that for her

[@DanielDiaz-um1xd]

I did have to laugh at the flashback squeals, I thought one was for an adipose till I remembered captain jack

[@PrinceIMC]

I think after watching this you need to go back and watch a couple specials: The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors. No spoilers but they establish that when the Doctor crosses his own timeline the earlier versions forget what happened.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Don’t forget “The Two Doctors” with 2 and 6

"Reverse the Polarity", "Oh, you've redecorated!..." , Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, U.N.I.T, many characters depicted on the green board and the Zygons are all from back in the day!

I loved the (name withheld for spoilers) Sontaran specials that went with the 50th anniversary at the theatres, esp the one about popcorn. Not too spoilery? Also loved seeing this in 3D

[@christianwise637]

I think the Doctor has canonically been married four times. Presumably he was married to whoever Susan's grandmother was, he eloped with Marilyn Monroe during the events of "A Christmas Carol", and obviously he married River at the end of series 6

[@marinettedorien8236]

On the weddings of river song it implies he married more

Time Lords have an affinity with Time. They are different enough when they Regenerate to not cause any problems. It is theorised that Spontanious Human Combustion is caused when to versions of someone occupies the same place at the same time.

[@TheGoauldApophis]

"same software, different case" was never about the screwdriver

[@tonyscupham-bilton7523]

It was common knowledge that David Tennant was in this episode. What the problem with knowing that beforehand? And ,of course, the Doctor is not married to Elizabeth I - their marriage was held in the open air (illegal in England until quite recently) - and the entire parliament must have been present as witnesses.

[@debbill1979]

The Sonic is the same software different case. Just like the Doctor is.

[@somedudeontwitterstalkedme3829]

This....is going to be brilliant!!!

[@joshuajoshua2732]

It should had been Paul McGann fighting in the Time War. John Hurt is a terrific actor don't get me wrong but I really would had preferred McGann. I wish the Classic Doctors had more involvement and a threatening Villain like Omega would had been great. But aside from that it was a great special. I hope the 60th will be even better. Chibnall please involve the Classic Doctors.

[@FourthWallReactions]

It would be cool to see more McGann, for sure!

[@youtubeaccount697]

At the very least we have a fiveish doctors sequel to be likely. I have no idea what chibbs would do to celebrate, or if we’ll have a new doctor/era by then

[@ms_scribbles]

AMEN! There was NO reason to shoehorn a new Doctor into the mix when Paul McGann was RIGHT THERE. As I've said before, John Hurt did a great job, but his Doctor had no business being there. It would have had so much more emotional punch if it had been the Eighth Doctor. Especially to those of us who followed Eight's audio stories and were witness to Eight's character arc over the years.

[@obiwankenobi687]

I’m not really a 100% fan of this special, not enough time war, not enough Daleks and not one single extermination shown in the most deadly war in the universe and I kind of really disagree with the Gallifrey being saved idea. It doesn’t feel earned, just feels like yet another moment where Moffat can’t resist not killing people and undoing stuff that comes before him. BUT, BUT, BUT (rant over) There’s something so exciting about seeing multiple Doctors and companions interacting with past Doctors. Clara is talking to the tenth Doctor, Tens talking to Kate, Bad Wolf is talking to John Hurt it’s amazing 😭🤣👏🏻

[@joshuajoshua2732]

My only issue with this special even though they only appear in footage and it was great seeing Tom Baker but I really would had loved for some of the Classic Doctors to return and have Omega as the villain rather than having the Zygons been made a joke I do hope the 60th will redeem this alittle bit.

[@ms_scribbles]

I'm so torn on this episode. On one hand, David and Matt worked together flawlessly, John Hurt was a great actor, it was a lot of fun most of the time. However, on the other hand... I hate, hate, hate the Time War retcon, I hate the lack of Eighth Doctor (especially since Big Finish had worked so hard with his character development to prepare him for the Time War, only to have him not even show up and spout bullshit directly OPPOSITE of his current opinion of fighting the Daleks), I hate Moffat's continued shitting on RTD's work, especially the words he put in Clara's mouth that were so dismissive of Ten. "Any idiot can be a hero." It's the only time I ever wanted to tell Clara to f*ck right off.

[@joshuajoshua2732]

I agree with some stuff but the thing that annoyed me about The Tenth Doctor was he was so full of sorrow which is out of character for the Doctor I hated the romance storyline with the Doctor and Rose that didn't really need to be there I am glad Moffat ignored that part but the rest I agree I like the alien side of the Doctor. You have to remember though canon changes all the time that's been a thing since the Classic Series. Clara was annoying I wanted to see more of the Time War I wish they had 8 instead of retro actively put in a new Doctor I wanted to see the Classic Doctors I wanted threatening villains.

[@CardiffOneOne]

Laughing all the way through just underlines the whole problem with this era. Steven Moffat just wrote it like a (bad)sitcom full of terrible jokes and weak catchphrases. We're well out of that now thankfully

[@FourthWallReactions]

There were also tears. It is a two-part reaction, after all.

[@youtubeaccount697]

I do love Moffat’s writing

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Moffat was a great writer but I do agree he did bring alittle too much comedy into Doctor Who and alittle too much fairytale too which I wasn't a fan of. It needs to be scary and have higher stakes.

[@daz73951]

Love your videos but this one I had to turn off cos of your laugh ruined it sorry. Was all the way through
