Working as you are for the BBC, please be aware they don’t call them. The British brainwashing Corporation for nothing and you may just be a lowly social steerer…….. if you climb up, you will be expected to do some terrible things on the way. If you tried to climb down, they will kick you in the face, and you’ll fall into a pit of shite that you can never swim your way out of I hear these days, they don’t even give you a redundancy package! 😂

[@SpaceEmos]

I’m so glad they kept this episode secretive. The reveal of the doubles was fantastic and “my arms are too long” rivals “who turned out the lights” for me 😭

[@jasonmarholz2427]

I’m pretty sure the “Who turned out the lights” was a reference to The Library

[@fizzycolalizzie]

@@jasonmarholz2427 yes, this current episode didn't say that. the person you're replying to was talking about the library episode lol

The moment between The Doctor picking up Not-Donna, realising, then picking up the real Donna was probably the tensest Doctor Who scene I've ever witnessed.

Copy and paste comment again? Godfuckingdammit! Late to the Party channel, Doctor Who reaction. Comment by @Surreality22992 What tf is wrong with you? Come up with an original comment ffs.

The TENsest 👀

[@shawnlilly5934]

Is this comment a copy paste? Just saw this on another video word for word

[@charg1nmalaz0r51]

not really, they arent brave enough to kill off donna. It would have actually made a better story but there was never any danger the entire time lol.

[@robertrittenhouse9685]

Fully thought she was gonna die there (if I hadn’t seen the anniversary trailer with her entering the Toymaker shop lol)

[@forgemakesstuff2734]

This is some of the scariest Doctor Who I’ve ever watched, between realizing Donna is not talking to the doctor at the beginning and being genuinely worried he would leave her (obviously they wouldn’t kill Donna but it was a real worry for a second lol) Plus the Doctor daring to be vulnerable for a minute and having that ripped away from him was heartbreaking

[@ckowkay]

And somehow simultaneously some of the funniest

[@eyupitsbecky]

Unfortunately this was Bernard Cribbins' final appearance as Wilf 😢 - Russell said on the behind the scenes of this episode that he was too sick to complete any of the other scenes they had planned...What a man - RIP ❤

[@joevictor53]

I was sad when RTD said that but I'm also happy we at least got one scene with him. If he'd passed away and they had to write him out of the story in the last episode, that would've been so much worse

[@reverse7503]

now i wonder wat happens next. how do his character get written out. do they just say oh hes gone with the family now in hiding or have a scene later in the episode revealing the character passed away

[@eyupitsbecky]

@@reverse7503 I'm not sure! I'm worried how they're gonna do it but I hope it's done tastefully! I think they might have a stand in for the first bit of the episode with them wheeling him around

[@ListerDavid]

Now I’m wondering how much of the read through was filmed as he was there for all of that so we maybe able to at least hear what the rest of his scenes was going to be like. 😢

[@chaotic7cam]

@@reverse7503I feel like maybe they should get separated, and Doctor gets a call saying Wilf is in a safe space and he’s resting now.

[@joevictor53]

I love their reaction to Wilf. Genuinely didn't expect to be crying at the end of this episode and watching their reactions had me tearing up again. He was supposed to be in the next special too but RTD said he'd passed away before they could film all his scenes

[@LeveyReoSaintil]

I wonder if The Fifteenth Doctor’s teary photo in the latest promos is him mourning Wilf’s passing in the finale. Or maybe Wilf at least gets an honorable mention…?

[@alfieforsyth560]

They filmed the specials from June to August 2022 I believe and Bernard was able to film this scene but sadly passed away before filming his scenes for The Giggle episode so this was the last time we’ll see him sadly. Great episode though. RIP Bernard Cribbins 1928-2022

[@IIxViip3rzv3]

I've heard so many stories from my parents about old who genuinely scaring them as children and this episode definitely captures that 😅 the sense of dread and overall creepiness was great

[@dylanburton4955]

I'm a sucker for a slow burner mystery horror toned episode so I really enjoyed this one, the body horror was really cool (With the practical longer arms been the standout for me) and taking the Tardis and Sonic away just made the tension so much higher. It was an edge on my seat type of episode and it kept throwing me off in many instances and kept me guessing. It has all the weird stuff in it that only makes sense for a show like Doctor Who and one of things I love about the show The character writing is spot on and the performances all round are of course amazing

[@rileytipper5110]

Could not agree more , this is a top 10 episode for me personally.

[@JeM130177]

Really loved this ep! Really just let David and Catherine go OFF. Such a celebration of them. I DON'T WANT THEM TO GO! And I was NOT ready to see Wilf this week I thought he'd show up next week but I wasn't emotionally prepared 😭😭

[@RonHarrisMe]

THANK YOU guys. The negativity in some parts of the Whoniverse is driving me nuts. Doctor Who is and has always been about “the human experience”, the good, the bad and the ugly as well as the strange and wonderful. Some fans have lost sight of that. So THANK YOU guys for a great review of a great episode. And yes, seeing WILF again really hit me in the FEELS.

[@InnerRise]

I will say I thought the first episode was awful. And I didn't even realize it would be a 3 parter so I was distraught at the quality. But this one was amazing. Reminded me of "the girl who waited". Are people not liking this episode.

[@dguthrie11]

This is the Doctor Who that I have missed. I didn't even realize how much I missed it until this. These two together are just magic. ❤

[@rileytipper5110]

I just can’t believe we have David and Catherine back , I don’t think I ever will. I feel privileged to be a fan of this show , the emotional pulls it has on me are unmatched. I will never grow tired for this show , this episode was easily an all timer. I can’t wait for the finale next week and then Ncuti’s debut episode on Christmas , we are being truly spoiled rn

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

This was genuinely one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who in a long time! I really enjoyed the first special but I absolutely loved this special! 10/10 episode! David Tennant continue to bring a sense of wholesomeness, intelligence, and Charisma with this 14th iteration of the doctor, just like he did with the 10th, maybe even better!

[@VonPatzy]

Georgia Moffatt (Tennant’s partner and daughter of the 5th doctor) tweeted out when Bernard Cribbons passed that they had named Multiple kids in honor of him.

Omg can you IMAGINE if Donna had died then and then he eventually figured out it wasn't the real one on his TARDIS after he made that choice that would be even worse than her having her memories wiped that would be damn CRUEL I knew they wouldn't but I was scared for a second 🤣

[@MrPortgazD]

Very reminiscent of the Library as well as the episode on the Train during Series 4. Loved this episode and how both characters had FANTASTIC moments. RIP Bernard Cribbins. Even though this is the last time we'll see him as Wilf, he will forever live in our memories.

[@InnerRise]

I remember a train episode but I never came across a rerun so i cam never remember which season, episode, or doctor companion team it was. But it was on another planet. Very futuristic and sleek. That's all I remember. And maybe the colour purple.

[@MrPortgazD]

@@InnerRise I just saw it again the other day. It’s titled Midnight. And it’s when it’s just the Doctor on a train with a bunch of people. Donna is back at the resort. And he’s dealing with an “Alien” of unknown origin that copies and takes over a persons body.

[@TheHurlyclaw]

The best Dr Who episodes are nightmare material. Such a cool episode.

[@MrDiddyDee]

I think that's RTD's mission, this time around, is to make it even more fun. It's always been an important element of Dr Who, and something that separates it from so much other sci-fi/fantasy which often takes itself way too po-faced and seriously.

[@NoelNole1221]

When the copies first showed up I thought the episode was time hopping but the longer the scene went the less it made sense, the episode is creepy and I loved it. Of course seeing Wilf was emotional and awesome 🥲

[@antitypical1807]

It's going to be interesting to see the mavity of this episode going forward

[@armysheep75]

My daughter used to say, back when he was 10th Doctor, " you can tell it's a good episode when you say what as many times as he does"... she's not wrong, and then they added Wilf. I crowned the first episode for having a wheelchair accessible Tardis, for that brand new Unit lady, but now I just hope it means Wilf gets back in the Tardis...

was going to say this too. Not sure if they realise there are episodes of “Doctor Who Unleashed” released same day as the show which do full behind the scenes, interviews with cast and crew etc. The practical huge arms with moving fingers were uncanny.

Great episode showcasing how good Tennant and Tate are together. So happy to see Wilf even though Bernard Cribbins didnt get a chance to film everything they had planned.

[@Look_Over_There]

Another thing that occured to me with the captains plan. It wasn't just enough to destroy the ship she wanted to destroy it WITH THEM INSIDE, so the constant reconfiguring and 3 year long countdown was also created to by a mystery and intrigue the No-things into staying.

I can't believe it took them so long to figure it out. I'll admit, the first time they switched back and forth I thought they were just skipping them walking between both rooms. But after a couple of times, you start to notice

I think there was an episode of "Sliders" (the parallel universe show with Jerry O'Connell) where at one point it was implied that the other characters accidentally switched one of the main characters (Professor Arturo) with his doppelganger. And it wasn't something that was ever definitively resolved.

As Greg predicted, Twitter got mad about Newton. Trying to make a "Cleopatra" which maybe would have worked if Who was a documentary, but calling out the cast of a sci fi totally silly show for that is ridiculous at a point that I don't know if they even realise how stupid It is. You know It's a show where there are aliens, living spaceships, the devil, monsters, flying tin cans with a plunger as an arm/weapon but yeah sure, let's get mad about Newton not being white. This episode was very well summarized by John: whacky Midnight. I loved it, I love they are able to mix horror, tension, humour and drama in one sci fi TV show. Absolutely loved it.

[@jackhinze9347]

I think I remember one episode of David Tennants doctor that he said his pockets are bigger on the inside. I like to imagine the doctor just has random assortment of items for when the situation needs it he can just pull it out.

[@BiasFree]

The Doctor knows Donna well, but not well enough for that last question to tell him who she was, we were even fooled, but that's not what the Doctor was checking, He needed her to reach out to get the measure of her arm and know for sure. The Mrs. Bean question only verified there was still a difference between the two.
