Doctor Who Born Again Children In Need Minisode Reaction

[@juliet1203_]

Thing I love about Children in Need, is that things like this, shorts like this, the actors do it unpaid (or so I've heard) as everything made during the day, or the broadcast is donated to charity

[@julesreacts]

That's awesome 💜

[@alwillcox]

Children in need is an annual evening-long charity telethon, including lots of sketches/skits involving current TV shows. Doctor Who getting a slot in 2005 allowed them to do Rose's reaction from disbelief to acceptance without having to slow down the Christmas special for it.

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

I do enjoy when Reactors catch minisodes and extras like this (speaking of which, whether you do it on the channel or not I do hope you check out that Doctor Who Weakest Link special after you're done with season 2 haha). Children in Need is indeed a regularly occurring British charity event, and all sorts of British TV shows join in the collaboration and contribute their own short episodes to help the cause.

[@rudewalrus5636]

As for "minisodes," the "Pond Life" shorts are fantastic... Of course, that's the 11th Doctor, so still a long way off.

[@ashleytuchin7693]

Yes, I'm so glad you've reacted to this! I only actually watched it for the first time a few years ago. It's a great little scene that isn't necessary viewing, but it gives Ten and Rose a great first interaction. It's common for the Doctor to experience some sort of post-regenerative trauma, ranging from being passed out for long periods of time, to exhibiting erratic behaviour and experiencing confusion and memory loss. Interestingly, there have been plenty of examples of other Time Lords regenerating without incident, so it's been speculated that the typically violent nature of the Doctor's regenerations makes the process more turbulent. As for David Tennant, he wasn't exactly an unknown before this, but his career really took off after Doctor Who. Some things you might have seen him in include: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Good Omens (probably his most-popular non-Who role); Marvel's Jessica Jones Netflix series; the British murder mystery, Broadchurch and its American remake, Gracepoint. Oh and during the pandemic, he and his friend and Good Omens co-star, Michael Sheen, did a fantastic series filmed over Zoom, called Staged. He's actually also been a massive Doctor Who fan since childhood and had a lot of minor Doctor Who roles in audio dramas before being cast as the Doctor (I just wrote an article on that very subject earlier this year). There's a famous story about how David was at a recording studio and found out that they were recording for an animated Doctor Who project in the studio next door. Being a huge Doctor Who fan, he went next door and asked if he could have a small role, so they obliged and gave him a line or two. Oh and just as an extra little titbit, he's Scottish and actually speaks with a heavy Scottish accent in real life. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the Tenth Doctor, I'm sure you'll love him in no time. 😊 Oh and if you ever want a hand in researching while steering clear of spoils, I'd be happy to help.

[@julesreacts]

Thank you, Ashley!! It's often really hard when it comes to research because sometimes I get curious but just can't look up anything 🤣 some things that cross my mind off the top of my head is.. romance hehe. I'm curious if the Doctor has ever been in love with his companions! Rose certainly seems to like him a lot... but I don't know to what extent their relationship is. I'm just so curious hehe 😅

[@ashleytuchin7693]

@@julesreacts don't worry, I get it, when I first started watching Doctor Who, I spent a lot of time on Wikipedia just reading up on everything. 🤣 As for romance, traditionally there was never any romance between the Doctor and his companion. Then the Eighth Doctor kissed his companion, which caused quite the controversy back in the day. 😅 Then New Who came along and really leaned into the romance angle. I won't give anything away, but I'm sure there'll be moments down the road that'll make your heart flutter.

[@Wannabe_Baby]

Your comment about needing more as soon as the credits started was how a lot of people felt. :P The Christmas Special seemed like such a long way away at the time, so we were begging for more and they gave us just a tease! Fortunately, there aren't many minisodes that you NEED to watch, so there are a few of them for each Doctor but only about 4 or 5 necessary ones over the years.

[@bananasaregood8655]

[@tomstanziola1982]

5:53..... Longtime fan from America here, Jules! 👋 I've seen all the episodes from when the series started in 1963 until the present day. After he regenerates, the Doctor is almost always a little shaken up in his mind. He'll be fine, don't worry! ✌️

[@Venemofthe888]

This minisode was done for Children in Need back in 2005 i believe and it was to help bridge the gap between the parting of the ways and the christmas episode while also giving you a first impression of David Tennant as the Doctor. It was a small part of the Children in Need broadcast where they would air messages and skits to help raise money for kids in Africa and the UK that needed help. 10.7 Million people tuned in for this specific segment which was a very high rating at the time

[@sallyatticum]

Oh my. David Tennant is one my very favorite actors and I have seen almost everything he has done that was available to me, including seeing him on stage in Richard II in New York.

[@robertchaney2704]

The actors really captured all the emotions a person would be going through in this kind of situation and it's amazing. I wish we could get more of the companions actually being present to witness the Doctor regenerate

[@kitwestlake2088]

Yeah we’ve ‘been here and done that’ but revisiting it with someone who’s experiencing it for the first time is wonderful. I got a friend into DW a while ago and did a rewatch at the time so that when he sent me reactions/thoughts etc, that episode was fresh in my mind as I hadn’t seen some of them in a long time, and it was SO great!

This was a lovely treat and made me realise that I hadn't seen this minisode. I think because I've seen so many regenerations over the years going straight into the Christmas special when it was first shown didn't feel to jarring, but now I've seen this little short, it actually makes me look forward to watching the Christmas Invasion with fresh eyes. Enjoy discovering this new Doctor along with Rose, I think you'll have fun. :)

Love the Ninth Doctor so much because that was my first but with Ten is when this show really started to soar.

[@Maastrichian]

I remember when he first changed, I was SO put out. And this is coming from someone who first started watching the show in the very early 80's. Our local station was playing the Fourth Doctor episodes, and I watched faithfully through the seventh, until our station dropped it. But I remember really, REALLY liking the Ninth Doctor, and I missed him. But after a bit of time, I came to absolutely adore this one. I suspect that you'll be the same. And again, thank you for letting us share this Outstanding journey!

[@shaunmale6566]

It's called post regeneration trauma or sickness. Some Timelords react differently when they change, it takes a while for them to get used to their new body. I really loved that they made this though and we saw more of Rose's reaction to the new Doctor and how she was dealing with it.

[@JackMellor498]

I call it being high on regeneration energy. Haha

[@michaelchampion936]

Children in need is the charity event that the BBC has been putting on every year for as long as i can remeber (just looked it up, it started in 1980 and says its raised £1.5 billion in that time). I missed this one myself when it went out.

[@julesreacts]

Its amazing that they are on youtube for anyone to watch ☺️

[@tsogobauggi8721]

Like others have said, the best part of this was Rose's reaction (and Billie Piper's acting) to the 'new' Doctor. Also... I like that your reaction was covering Rose's reaction. It was like you were there with the Doctor. :) 3:54 You are nodding there. Aaw...

[@anonymes2884]

Very astute about Rose acting as a sort of audience stand-in - just as for yourself, for many viewers this would've been _their_ first regeneration too so the show does a little bit of hand-holding to help new fans over the hump. And yep, all the charity mini-sodes are about this length. (though there's a longer "non-canonical" Comic Relief charity "mini-sode" from 1999 - so when the show was still cancelled, during what fans sometimes call "the wilderness years" from 1989-2005 - that you might find a fun watch :)

@@gamegeek812 it was an accidental idea. William Hartnell got sick cause of his age so they wanted to keep the show going as they had more stories written so they came up with the idea for regeneration, same character different face, which makes more sense than let’s say James Bond, they would have been smart to make James Bond a code name but no it is his real name.

[@bloodyuk8452]

Rose reaction is amazing in this minisode. Throughout the first season she represents the audience, especially the new-whos who never watched the classic show, so we met the doctor for the first time through her experience, she asks the questions we wanna ask, etc. And it's the same in this minisode - for most of the viewers this was their first regeneration, so just like Rose they don't understand exactly what's going on, who's this new guys, and more importantly, 'can you change back'. The fact that Rose is "us", the viewers, is super effective here. Yeah, we will grow to love the new doctor, but at this moment in time, we miss "our" doctor and we're confused, and Billie nailed it in her performance

[@julesreacts]

David Tennant is the best, as a person and an actor, he is one of my favorites. His manic twist though, that's pretty historic and canonically fitting for all of Doctor Who. And I'll leave it at that. What I like though is that you can still trace the 9th Doctor as you've said, but also shades of who the 10th Doctor is to be. It's a great transition. And Rose handling of it is extremely justifiable. I'm REALLY excited for you to see Series 2!

It's great that this is your first introduction to David Tennant because this was the show that made him a big name!

Also, do you remember in series 1, episode 1 when 9 looks in the mirror in Rose's flat, and says "oh, look at the ears"? That's a little clue that he had regenerated just before he met Rose!

[@AubreySciFi]

Interestingly, this was not David Tennant's first appearance in a Doctor Who project. He appeared in several of the Big Finish radio Doctor Who adventures playing various characters alongside classic Doctors before being cast in the TV series as the lead. Big finish was created by a group of fans in the entertainment industry in 1999 who wanted to continue the Doctor's adventures, since the original series had been canceled a decade prior. They made an arrangement with the BBC for licensing and eventually got all the surviving Doctors from the classic era back to do new adventures on audio set during their eras of the show. Their biggest coo was probably getting Paul McGann, who sadly only got a chance to play the 8th Doctor in one TV movie in 1996. So Big Finish got to give him the multitude of adventures we never got to see on screen. Of course in 2005 the BBC brought the show back to TV. But Big Finish is still out there doing radio stories set in not only the classic era, but now the new series as well. Christopher Eccleston has amazingly come back to do some new 9th Doctor stories (on audio) set prior to the 2005 "Rose" TV pilot.

David Tennant got into acting cause his dream (since he was a little kid) was playing The Doctor. Ofcourse, by the time he became a accomplished Theater actor at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Doctor Who was in a long hiatus and it was not sure if the show would ever come back. So when it did, he wanted that role so badly but it was Christopher Eccleston who got the part. Ofcourse, upon Christopher leaving, David got his chance and well, the rest is history. There are more fun facts about him in the Doctor Who universe, but all in good time, no spoilers. I love ALL my Doctors, the past ones and (for you) to come, though David managed to earn a soft spot in my (and many others) heart.

Then comes David and changes everything… I’ll try not to interject some thoughts about him, because it’ll be interesting to see how you take to him as the show progresses and see how it compares and contrasts with the original run of the show… in any case have a great time watching the upcoming special and the second season!

Thank you so much for the well wishes 💜

[@ninino86]

Yes, that's how short the minisodes are. Now think if you would have to wait until CHRISTMAS until you got anymore Doctor who... aaaargh... :P

[@chanceneck8072]

Yeah!! 🥰 I didn't even see this one myself until a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know it existed 😅 Me. As a massive Whovian... 🤭 Really hope, you're gonna like this Doctor. He's a fan favorite. Just not mine.... 😉

[@julesreacts]

Thank you so much!! I'm really enjoying him so far. It works best for me to just relax and go with the flow hehe 💜

[@DaveB806]

I had never seen that before so thank you so much for sharing.

[@julesreacts]

My pleasure, Dave!

So fun to see your first reaction to the 10th Doctor

[@mpg272727]

Regeneration is an interesting concept from a philosophical standpoint in some ways. After all what makes you, well, you? Is it based on how you look and sound? Or would you say that what makes you you is instead your personality? All of your memories and experiences shaping who you are? Beacause the idea of Regeneration does somewhat focus on that. Let's say you could somehow transfer your brain and therefore all your memories and everything you have done into a new, different body. Would this new different body still be you? Or would it be someone else? Sure, it's a different body and voice and what not but.. It has all your memories. All your experiences. Everything you were just now in a new and different body. Rather like transfering all the data on a computer and all it's operating system and files onto a different computer. It's still the same softwere and data as the last computer just now on a new and different device.

[@asterix7842]

I know there are quite a few minisodes out there, but I've seen only a few, so I hope you'll do more. Also, I can't wait for you to do the Christmas episode 😁

[@julesreacts]

I will watch all the minisodes for sure if they are on KZbin!

[@scurvydog1918]

Short and sweet. Sad they didn't show this on a proper episode, but understandable they wanted something special for Children in need . Great reaction :)

[@t43iavmoi]

In 1983, during Children in Need, a special movie length episode of Doctor Who was broadcast to celebrate it's 20th anniversary. And since then, it's appeared now and again during the charity event. I do hope you intend to watch The Christmas Invasion before you start season 2, as you'll miss some vital information regarding what is to come in the following stories. All the very best 👍

Hey Jules! ❤

Hi!!

[@AhsimNreiziev]

I agree completely. Billie Piper (who plays Rose) is _such_ an amazing actress! And she was really on top form in this one. And to think she was a pop singer before she was cast in _Doctor Who_ ......

[@Metzwerg74]

i loved her in "Secret Diary of a call girl" the series was hilarious most of the time and of course as rose....

[@elvwood]

@@johnrob3215 That didn't stop a lot of people rolling their eyes and making snide comments when the casting was announced! By the end of series 1 everybody who could be persuaded had been, though. And yes, her acting here is what makes this minisode work so well (not dissing Tennant but he's not who we related to yet).

[@ftumschk]

@@johnrob3215 If anything, Billie is an actress first and foremost, and an exceptionally good one at that. She just happened to be "cast" as a teenage pop singer for a while.

[@jonathan.palfrey]

I recently rewatched the 3rd Doctor’s first episode (broadcast in 1970), in which he staggers out of the TARDIS and collapses on the ground, unconscious. He later turns up in hospital, still unconscious, although he recovers to full fitness in the course of the story. Not all Doctors react like that to regeneration, but some do.

[@sparshjohri1109]

Something always seems to go wrong with regenerations. I think the 3rd, 8th, 10th, and 12th Doctors regenerated relatively smoothly (although the Doctors that came after them were also a little wonky for their first stories), but the others had pretty major problems shortly after regeneration

[@jonathan.palfrey]

@@sparshjohri1109 No, as I just said, the 3rd Doctor was unconscious in hospital, and the 10th was David Tennant, just seen in this video. The 12th Doctor was physically more or less OK, but mentally very confused at first. We didn't see the 9th Doctor regenerating. The 11th Doctor just had eating disorders.

[@sparshjohri1109]

@@jonathan.palfrey Oh, no, I was talking about the doctors that came after (as in, the Doctor after the 3rd Doctor regenerated, the Doctor after the 10th Doctor regenerated, and so on). I didn't want to spoil what happens after the 8th Doctor's regeneration. What I was saying was that *those* Doctors didn't appear to face many issues after regeneration other than mildly erratic behavior. Basically all the other ones did though: 2 was pretty erratic in his first story 3 was unconscious in the hospital in his first story (as you said) 5 had the whole Zero Room issue in his first story 6 tried to strangle his companion in his first story 7 and 8 both had severe memory loss in their first stories 10 had pretty major health issues in his first story (as shown in the video) 12 was much more severely disoriented than usual in his first story

[@jonathan.palfrey]

@@sparshjohri1109 OK, so when you said the 3rd you meant the regeneration of the 3rd into the 4th. It’s a rather strange way of expressing it, because in that case it’s the 4th that experiences the effects, if any.

[@sparshjohri1109]

@@jonathan.palfrey Yes, I just worded it awkwardly because listing out *all* of the incarnations of the Doctor is a spoiler if someone hasn't watched up to the end of Series 7 yet.

[@y11851]

I give them credit David Tennant is one of the best doctors ever but my favorite is the 11th and I’m a big David Tennant fan so I think you’ll like this one

[@AhsimNreiziev]

All Doctors are great. The only one I liked a *_little_* less was Jodie, because she didn't command the screen as much as I feel the Doctor should. _[And, purely because this now needs to be clarified in the "Doctor Who" fandom ever since Jodie's casting was announced and the chucklefucks came out of the woodwork: no, my (relative) dislike for Jodie as the Doctor has nothing to do with sexism, or at least I think it doesn't. A lack of bigotry, or a negative in general, can be hard to prove, of course; but nevertheless the 'evidence' that I like to bring up, which is the fact that a certain other actress (with the initials JM) in Chibnall's Era captured the Doctor _*_perfectly_*_ in the short amount of screen-time we've gotten from her so far, is in my humble (and undoubtedly biased) opinion, pretty convincing in making the "Ahsim Nreiziev is not a sexist" case.]_ Of course, both Colin Baker's on-screen tenure and Paul McGann's on-screen "tenure" didn't capture the Doctor all that great either -- Colin Baker's because they leaned too much into the dickish side of the Doctor, almost making him an anti-hero; and Paul McGann's because it was far far too short to really establish McGann as our favourite Time Lord -- but Big Finish more than made up for that in their respective Audio Adventures appearances. Which is also why I am somewhat hopeful that Big Finish can redeem Jodie and the Thirteenth in the same way they did for the Sixth and the Eighth.

[@AhsimNreiziev]

@@johnrob3215 I disagree that it's the cancel culture that made me feel I had to defend myself _[and after all, who'd know better the motivation of why I did something than me myself?]_ . It's more that such a large percentage of dislike/distaste/hatred for Jodie's casting came from genuinely misogynistic assholes _[I think I called them chucklefucks in my previous post]_ , many of them who were never even Whovians to begin with until a female Doctor was cast (people like Carl "Sargon of Akkad" Benjamin and Jeremy "The Quartering" Hambly spring to mind), that it has become necessary within the fandom to specify that the criticism is genuine and not bigoted fuckery (because, again, so much of what is disguised as "criticism" of Jodie is, in fact, bigoted fuckery). It's the same reason why every time I say/write something positive about Religion, I have to specify that I'm an Atheist; and every time I say/write that I'm an Atheist, I have to specify that I don't hate Religions or (generally speaking) Religious people. I hate how *_some_* Religious people *_misuse_* Religion, but that's not the fault of either the Religion itself or of the Religious people who are not insane people intent on destroying as many things, to the maximum devastation possible, in as little time as possible. Oh, and while I'm sure Whittaker was Chibnall's favourite, I doubt she was sleeping with him. In fact, doesn't that suggestion sound...... I hardly dare say it...... but just a little bit...... misogynistic? Also, I *_know FOR A FACT_* that Billie Piper wasn't sleeping with RTD, mostly on account of how RTD is pretty much The Gayest Man in Britain (which I mean as a compliment, by the way; but yeah, RTD would have 0 interest in sleeping with a woman). On a more positive note: did you know that, with Disney pouring money into _Doctor Who_ now, we more than likely will get a few spin-offs under the RTD2 Era? And these may very well include a Jo Martin-led show.

[@JDP5127]

David Tennant is a different doctor from Eccleston, but those two are my favorites of New Who. I love seening the doctor evolve across his regenerations, as each adds a layer to who he really is.

[@mustbge0]

I didn't see this minisode until years after this season aired. It was like a special treat to see new scenes of this doctor. The idea of someone watching this in between is almost alien to me. Will you be watching all of the minisodes as you get up to them?

[@julesreacts]

I'd love to watch them all if they are on youtube 😀

[@OpenMawProductions]

In my first watch I was not aware of this little short until I was through Season 2. So I had to go back and watch it. Without spoilers, of course, I can't imagine not having this little segment sandwiched between the two. Its not vital, but it does put a little more meat on the bone for both Rose and The Doctor. One thing to remember about Doctor Who is that its a dramatic science fiction show, but in many ways its origins are as a show for kids. RTD made it a little more adult in the relaunch, only fitting given that the Doctor Who audience that did exist was now in their 30s and 40s. Point boing, if you imagine the audience is a large portion, children, having your hero just disappear like that is potentially quite upsetting. A moment like this where everything can just stop and they can talk is very important. Doctor Who makes this a tradition each year. Like I said on a previous video they did a Doctor Who Weakest Link episode, and of course Doctor Who became a big part of "The Proms" due to its fantastic music. The show really does blossom and branch out going forward from here. RTD wasn't settling for bringing the show back, he wanted it to be "Star Wars big" and, by all accounts he succeeded.

[@raphaelperry8159]

When the doctor regenerates the new doctor always contains trace elements of the previous doctors' (yes, plural doctors) performances but, as he settles into the role and the regeneration process settles down he becomes more of his own person. This isn't just the actors settling into the role but to make it feel like the same person coming to terms with a new kind of existence that's not quite the same as before.

[@AeonThePhoenix]

Yeah, every post-regeneration episode feels like it was written for the previous doctor because a lot of the mannerisms and nuances seem to be carried over. I don't know if they do that deliberately or if it's just the viewer inadvertantly making comparisons, but it's kinda nice.

[@raphaelperry8159]

Oh I don't just mean their first episode. Often it's half a season or more. To add a further twist, most of the New Who doctors seem to be copying a lot of the Old Who doctors in the correct order (if you think of David Tennant as Tom Baker's doctor, Matt Smith as Peter Davidson, Peter Capaldi as a sort of grim version of Sylvester McCoy (somehow skipping Colin Baker's doctor - or maybe Capaldi was meant to remind us of Colin Baker and Whittaker was meant to be our new McCoy). I don't know if others have noticed the similarities of the repeated ordering or if it's just my autism picking up on very small things. Personally I don't see the resemblance between Tennant 's performance and Tom Bakers but people keep saying "he's like Tom Baker's doctor" so it does fit the pattern I observed.

[@paulhammond6978]

I don't think I really remember watching this one. I was expecting the one where David Tennant meets an earlier Doctor, but I guess that one was the comic relief episode from the following year (when people would know Tennant's doctor, and would enjoy seeing him meet another Doctor). This one is really just an extended trailer for the Christmas episode, where the new Doctor really has his first adventure.

[@deebeedaydreamer]

Kind of mad that this was an afterthought, just made when CiN approached the production. Cause I think this is kind of essential for brand new viewers after that 1st regeneration. I always recommend it. I've been really enjoying your 'Who videos so far.👍

[@Laocoonshorse]

I hope you enjoy David Tenant. His take on the Doctor is different than the previous Doctor, but he is an excellent actor.

[@ms.antithesis]

children in need is one of 3 yearly charity broadcasts in the uk that still runs to this day. Which are "children in need", "red nose day", and "sports relief" all of which usually features a series of, mostly mediocre comedy sketches and various other variety acts coming out in support of their respective charities, usually featuring popular shows of the prior year in various outr of character or comedic situations, which is like.. the whole appeal.

[@julesreacts]

It's wonderful that they do that!!

[@Rob-tj4ss]

when the doctor regenerates it sometimes causes him to have regeneration sickness e.g. eratic behaviour and stuff i think its because when the doctor took the power of the time vortex from rose it hit him alot and thats why the regeneration went wrong

[@kemmdog4444]

Various Doctors have had some sort of post-regenerative trauma in the past.

[@tigrisparvus2970]

He looks so young!

[@clash5j]

David Tennant is probably tied with Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor) as my favorite Doctor. To be honest, that is not a radical opinion. While everyone has various thoughts on their favorite Doctor, the 4th Doctor, from the OG series and David Tennant from the reboot are the "popular" choices as favorites, but many people feel differently Tennant is a wonderful actor. He's done lots of stage work. Besides Doctor Who, I know him from the TV shows Broadchurch, Jessica Jones, Good Omens and a few other things. He also just barely missed out on playing Hannibal Lecter in the series Hannibal, but lost out to Mads Mikkelsen Later on he would gain a much deeper connection to the history of Doctor Who which I won't spoil for you

[@Leviathan0999]

Don't forget that you need to watch the holiday special, "The Christmas Invasion" before you start on Series 2.

[@julesreacts]

That's the next episode coming this week!
