Knowing the Doctor he probably used the lottery to get the House and the Car. The Doctor having a history of getting people to win the lottery is my favourite running bit. Happens in School Reunion, End of Time Part 2 & A Christmas Carol off the top of my head.

[@tenmark7055]

So all those times he said he didnt have any money or pay for coffee, he was just being cheap? How dare you! 😆

[@klemminguk]

I love how this place that fills itself with someone's fears just shows Rory a bunch of exits. It can't scare him, it just wants him gone.

[@TheMarcHicks]

Given that he has died, been erased from existence, lived for 2000 years as a Plastic Roman and then almost died a second time, what is left for him to be scared of? 😆

Funnily enough, I've been slowly working my way through Classic Who, and just a few days ago I watched the episodes with the Nimon. As soon as I saw them, I thought of this episode. I didn't realize The Doctor actually mentioned them by name here.

[@bizarreabomination]

"Drenched with the blood of the innocent" Season 1, Episode 6: Dalek "I saw it happen! I MADE IT HAPPEN!"

[@JustJayylj]

David Walliams was asked to guest-star in the episode in an email and he said yes because he’s a fan of the show. Matt Smith called David Walliams "hilarious" and found it hard to take him seriously, as when he was in his prosthetics for the part he resembled a giant mole. David Walliams' prosthetics took about two hours to apply. He felt the make-up was not limiting to his acting, finding it "quite expressive". It was Steven Moffat's idea to set an episode in labrythian hotel, having often found himself disconcerted by the experience of staying in hotels in the past.

[@WarrenSmith1983]

They originally intended Gibbis to be played by Matt Lucas, but all they said was that they wanted "the guy from Little Britain", and hired Walliams by mistake, but they were so taken with his portrayal in the audition that they didn't look back.

[@zicmorley]

The Doctor is a time traveler. He have connections to get a house and a car for his lovly friends. He has all time to get this connections

Hello, Jules. 💜 You look excited and ready to go this day - again, very nice colors you are wearing . I too was enjoying your dance, but, unfortunately, the story demands to be seen and heard. I had totally forgotten the room with the clown, but your honest reaction was a highlight point in this episode reaction. As soon as the door opened, I said Oh, she won’t like this, not a bit. 🤭😅 Gibbis is possibly the most unpleasant character in these new Doctor Who series episodes. His home world would certainly be a terrible spot to visit. This was a great episode, which builds nicely on the returning theme, I think, of the Doctor getting a bit full of himself, just as 10 was, as he neared the end. It was disguised a little, with 11’s antics, and fun loving personality, but lay there, in the background, all along. He's dangerous. And, as you spoke of in your previous Outro - there would come a point for you, as a companion, where you would simply have to say, “no more.” 🥲 Also, as you say in this Outro, the Doctor needs a companion, to keep him in check, so to speak, to temper his effect, on himself and, definitely, others. He finally sees his impact, as he always does, and calls a halt to the current state of things, as he is made, to once again, see the very real effect he is capable of producing on others - the peril he puts folks in, without thinking how vulnerable they are to the situations he finds interesting, and even commonplace. We know that Amy and Rory will be back, at least for one more - when he faces an astronaut on the shore. A great season, so far, solid story telling, and this was no different. It had everything - dancing, laughter, horror, tension, and sadness. All the ingredients of a great Doctor Who story! I hope you’re having a bit cooler day, Jules,💜🤗💜 continue to stay chilled and hydrated. I look forward to what remains in the current series here, and seeing your reactions, as Always. 🥰😊

[@avolto4822]

What I love about Gibbis is how awful he is. A race of cowards. A people so utterly lacking in bravery, courage or any kind of spine. It's treated like a joke at first but we see how insidious cowardice can be. He'll abandon any one to save himself and feel no guilt or remorse for what he's done. He is entirely selfish and self serving. Not only that but Gibbis not having anything to believe in means that he would feasibly be in the labyrinth forever and would sell out any new prisoners to save himself. Imagine he incorrectly guesses he can save himself by continuously feeding people to the Minotaur and just keeps doin that for the rest of his life which might go on forever due to the labyrinth keeping the Minotaur alive for so many eons.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Praise him.

[@Gav-mj6lx]

I loved this one, tapping into the most primal fears, something Doctor Who does best. And a brilliant dive into the relationship between the Doctor and his companions, and more insight into the Doctor himself. Amara Karan as Rita, just amazing. I would have loved for her to be a companion. Love your insights into the episode, and it definitely the Doctor himself in his room. For me though, it would have to be the Cybermen, they've terrified me since I was a kid.

[@Venemofthe888]

Honestly this is a fantastic episode and full of tension. Rita would have made a good companion since she has a good dynamic with the doctor here and makes me sad she is only here. The fear in my door would probably be clowns or zombies. They both freak me out so maybe a zombie clown would be the worst fear i guess. Also when The Doctor drops off Amy & Rory its the same exact area as Fathers Day in the church area.

[@Dubble77D]

Both RTD1 and the Moffat era have so many one-off companions that would have made for absolutely wonderful full-time companions. ❤

[@Sovreign071]

This is a ery underrated episode, IMO. I love the double-meaning of "God Complex," and I think this is quite possibly the lowest we've ever seen The Doctor brought down without killing his companions!

[@Deronda1]

This is one of my favourite episodes of Series 6 and of New Who as a whole. There's so much to love about it!

[@TheMarcHicks]

Such an amazingly interesting look at the connection between Fear and Faith. Also love the double meaning of the title.

[@TheMarcHicks]

If you watch the Season 6 minisodes, you see that he does, in fact, goes off and has adventures whilst Rory and Amy are asleep 😉.

[@kieronball8962]

Great reactions from Jules, to this terrifying episode of New Who. And an awesome cameo appearance by David Walliams as mole-like alien Gibbis.

[@Allerka]

I have a bit of a funny story about the Nimon in this episode. Years ago, I brought up Doctor Who to an online friend of mine as a show she should watch. Her response was "I can never watch that show." When I asked how come, she replied that a distant cousin of hers was a guest actor in the original Doctor Who show, specifically "The Horns of Nimon" serial, and that he later died of a drug overdose. I then asked "How do these two independent things relate to one another?" Her cousin died 7 years after his appearance on the show. Unless Tom Baker got him into morphine seven years ago, I'm betting it didn't have anything to do with his death. But she still has never seen an episode of the show.

[@constanza86]

The word you are looking for is interesting. The story you brought up is not funny, as trauma should never be viewed as such, but it is interesting. Thank you for sharing it.

[@WarrenSmith1983]

​@@constanza86I don't think they mean "funny", as in "amusing". Funny peculiar; funny odd. It's a tragic story, awful, but I never got the impression that "funny" in this context means anything other than very strange. English is a very unnecessarily complex language.

[@WarrenSmith1983]

I'm not sure I can imagine what would be in my room, I honestly don't know. Probably something existential, my earliest nightmares as a very young child were about ageing and death, the idea that I will one day waste away into nothing, and the futility of it. Maybe it would be me as a withered old man with dementia?

[@MeowersYummers]

I love this episode, genuinely makes people wonder what would be behind their door... Great video jules💙💙

[@PhialSubstance]

The Doctor owns several houses, particularly there's 221B Baker Street (Sherlock Holmes house) which he spends a fair amount of time at during the audio story Dark Eyes. I think they go back there in Doom Coalition and Ravenous too. Haven't listened to Stranded, but apparently a lot of that takes place there. I'm sure there are other properties he owns. Most of them are probably in the name John Smith.

[@jcarterla]

My room would be working customer service

[@WarrenSmith1983]

He probably got UNIT to buy the house and car; they owe him quite a bit!

[@DaveF.]

"How did the doctor buy a house?! When did he do it?" He's got a time machine.... :-) As for 13's room? Well the noise you hear is the cloister bell - the 'red alert' noise the Tardis makes when it's in deep trouble, so my guess it's the Tardis dying.

[@Katiekooleyes]

This was a really enjoyable episode, definitely one of the better ones of this season. That being said, clowns terrify me to! 😨Although dolls and puppets, I quite like. Even the creepy ones! To clear up the bit about the P.E. teacher saying they'd have to do P.E. in their vest and pants, that used to be a common punishment in the UK if a student forgot their P.E. kit. Thankfully, teachers can't do that these days. Although it certainly elicits some old memories. Love the look of the hotel. Reminds me of that game I motioned ages ago At Dead of Night. It has the feel of an old style British hotel that looks drab and outdated since the 70s. That poor nurse tho. It's a shame she didn't make it as she was so lovely! Although it's interesting they went with a minotaur for this episode, as the hotel felt so maze like. A nice little nod to Greek mythology there. That said, while we didn't see what was in the Doctors room, I often thought it was the deaths of Amy & Rory, hence why he was insistent on dropping them off. Glad you like this one. I favour the smaller scale adventures like this myself. Until next episode 💚

[@julesreacts]

Dolls and clowns are not my friends 🤭 This was such a lovely episode! The ending was so surprising as I wasn't expecting it at all, and it's kind of bittersweet. I do love your thoughts about what was in the Doctor's room. That makes a lot of sense. We heard the TARDIS, and it could have very well been Amy and Rory, dead, beside it... 😭

[@TheMarcHicks]

Pretty sure Rita is a Doctor, not a nurse.

[@littlecitygirl]

Love that you were thinking about the practical side of the house and car and you are right - who gets the council tax bill and who pays for the insurance on the car and all that other 'life' stuff? Such a creepy episode and yes clowns would freak me out, or possibly Woody Woodpecker - I had a Woody Woodpecker book when I was little that had a really scary illustration on one page that I always had to skip over! :)

[@Zombies8MDingo]

Lovely send off for Amy and Rory, shame Rita wasn't the next companion.

[@anonymes2884]

"What's he doing with the tea ?" The sort of thing an alien would do. Not necessarily a _cool_ alien :). Cracker this one IMO, I generally enjoy the "bottle puzzle" episodes. And Amara Karan's medical student Rita is very much a "companion we never got" because she was smart and funny and brave - she would've made a great longer term addition to the TARDIS i'd say. Sadly, it wasn't to be.

[@Forsken_Priority]

I love this episode so much definitely my favourite episode of the Matt Smith era.

@julesreacts And that's why there's no chance I'll ever become addicted to gambling!

[@Forsken_Priority]

Is it just me or did anyone else think the clown at the start had a bit of a resemblance to the Doctor?

[@tacoslacker]

Time Lords are cheeky buggers. The Doctor could have just thought " I'll buy a house and car for Amy and Rory" and he can drop them off at it before he actually does it. 😉

[@chanceneck8072]

In my door would probably be the ocean. Nothing terrifies me more on this earth, than the vast, DEEP oceans.... 🥶😱

[@PhialSubstance]

I get you. I got scared sitting on the beach once because I couldn't stop thinking about how deep and vast and unknown it is. I was getting paranoid there'd be a tsunami even though that would be almost impossible on a beach that lines the English channel.

[@TheMarcHicks]

Same.....in fact any deep water where I can't see the bottom.

[@chanceneck8072]

@TheMarcHicks Exactly.

[@pscar1]

This one is creepy, but good

i though rory not having a room implied he just didn’t have faith in anything

[@WarrenSmith1983]

That is indeed the case.

[@josefschiltz2192]

Through my door would be my mother . . . again!

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I think this episode is a bit under-rated. I love it, and am glad you enjoyed it, but it does have one flaw that bugs me: the Doctor breaks Amy's faith in him very quickly. Perhaps they couldn't figure a way to structure things differently, and of course they also needed the space at the end to give Amy & Rory the right sort of departure. Rita is the single greatest companion the Doctor never had. 😢

[@suntannedduck2388]

Good episode, good reaction and thoughts, good use of the minotaurs maze and fears and what not. Testing of character dynamics. Dropped off but we will see them again like Martha. When who knows without spoiling. Someone else to ask questions, the Doctor is logical so someone else to bring them down a bit or answer their logical side with emotion or just genuine questions about how it sounds the concept they have presented. Not 'human' (typical and overrated but not accurate) just someone able to respond then all that thinking out loud or internal. Just because we are human doesn't mean it is the case. We just only understand our concepts. Our language. Any logical human may have someone to bounce ideas off with. Others think about the possibilities but still ground themselves. Others don't. None of this emotional nonsense or oh need a human just because it's easier for audiences to relate (relating id overrated nonsense just because they can't see past their own feet) or believe compared to past aliens (humanoid or not as easy for makeup or costuming and things) because as if a label of a species or animal can't but humans are stupid with how television has to be believable. How normal people think. People that think properly can handle it, balance it. Sure we need confirmation to approve something among a group for a reason, even what words we speak or characters (language wise) we write. It's how it got so broad and normalised. What maths or concepts or whatever we approve as this is called a tv show or whatever. Isn't of a visual sound things or whatever instead. I know it's possible. It's just people don't think, too many other things for them to think about or it's a tv show or other factors they have other things going on to deal with, but when people get big ideas sure it happens. They may or may not need to ground it. Ask a second opinion or go with it regardless. Yeah yeah empty, yeah the war, yeah the last one, yeah the other stuff. Just because too much time, too long to read or otherwise doesn't mean it's a factor just because it's hard to break down or not necessary for their lives.

[@jasonw3781]

The doctors room was the tardis because that is what he has faith in

[@cutthr0atjake]

The rooms contain what you fear, not what you have faith in.
