John Hurt was so incredible actor, he was the Doctor for one and a half episodes, and he makes it feel like he is the most experienced Doctor.

[@christianwise637]

"The man who regrets, and the man who forgets." "How many worlds has his regret saved?" "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame." "Do what you've always done: be a doctor." Oh my, the dialogue in this episode is SO GOOD

[@daveherres3374]

For those of us who watched in the seventies, seeing Tom Baker and hearing him say the phrase, "if I were you," was magical.

[@iDontShareMyData]

I wish he'd offered a jelly baby....

[@frankwales]

Did you get that the Doctor marrying Queen Elizabeth I was a combination call-back/prequel to the end of 'The Shakespeare Code', where the Queen turns up furious with The Doctor, and he has no idea why?

[@brinmoody]

I think it was also in End of Time Ten mentions it as well in the line that Good Queen Bess's nickname of The Virgin Queen is no longer accurate cause of him. River then also mentions it when listing off previous romantic partners The Doctor had had, and then the Queen Elizabeth from the Starwhale episode in Series 5 also makes a joke about it too, calling the Doctor a bad, bad boy for sleeping with Elizabeth I. So it's an ongoing joke and indeed this episode is the reason why.

[@darthken815]

"I didn't know when I was well off. All twelve of them." "No sir, all thirteen!" Peter Capaldi: (shifts eyebrows into attack position) WhoFans: "SQUEEEE!"

[@christianwise637]

I think the squeeing started earlier than that with "calling the War council of the Time Lords, this is the Doctor!"

[@darthken815]

Yeah, you're probably right. And I bet when Baker showed up, longtime fans screamed loud enough to shatter glass.

[@frankwales]

I missed the chance to see it in the cinema in the UK, but some friends of mine did, and said the audience went bonkers when they heard Tom Baker's voice.

[@SunlessNick]

I'm impressed by how completely they managed to firewall it. I didn't even hear a rumour that he'd be there.

[@sheersternfeld1914]

​@@SunlessNickthey must have smuggled him in inside a dalek.

[@alanbeaumont4848]

I watch this one whenever I need cheering up because of the humour among the drama. This is how you mess with an audience while remaining faithful to the heritage. Easily the best of the specials.

[@zahrasaghir4050]

The curator at the end was the 4th Doctor, he's the oldest living actor who played the Doctor.

[@coladict]

20:33 that scene where Matt Smith and David Tennant join John Hurt in pressing the button always pulls on the heart strings!

[@jeckjeck3119]

Peter Capaldi: ''I've been waiting all my life to play The Doctor! What are my lines, my first words?'' Writers: ''Just stare into camera really intensely for 3 seconds.'' Peter Capaldi: ''...'' Peter Capaldi: ''...Seriously:/''

[@a.mseymour180]

I mean let his eye brows speak for themselves

[@iDontShareMyData]

Those eyebrows could take off bottle-caps!

[@Rudromukherjeenerv]

Jammie Dodgers, as are a majority of British biscuits, are designed to be eaten with a brew! (Cup of tea, or coffee if you're a heathen!)

[@MarieAnne.]

Me, I always eat biscuits or cookies with milk. Don't really know what that makes me.

[@HurstonEstep]

For anyone who has also seen The Adventures of Merlin, John Hurt is the voice of the Great Dragon.

[@SGlitz]

Tom Baker! Brought the house down when I saw it in the theatre 2 days after watching it live on BBC1 in London. A little thing called The 50th Anniversary Convention. Oh that jet lag....

[@kathyastrom1315]

Tom Baker will always be My Doctor, having watched this show since 1980. I went to my first con (Rosemont, IL) in 1982 where he was the featured name, and not only did I meet him, but kissed him on the cheek!!

[@carlosyoung1629]

I only spotted this myself the other day but The Doctor took Amy to Arcadia as mentioned in Vincent and The Doctor. Two mentions of Arcardia in two episodes with paintings.

[@Colin4763]

A small piece of trivia, the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child was broadcast on Saturday 23rd November 1963. When The Day of The Doctor was broadcast by the BBC in the UK, it was broadcast on Saturday 23rd November 2013 exactly 50 years to the day since the first broadcast.

[@lexiburrows8127]

True, but it had to be repeated the next week as the first transmission was overshadowed by news reports of the Assassination of J.F.K.

[@sheersternfeld1914]

Oh, cool!

[@sheersternfeld1914]

Also, the activation code of the vortex manipulator was the date and time of the first ever episode!

[@zvimur]

Ouch, no Night of the Doctor?

[@Immortallis0]

think that was his night in the sheets with river lol

[@reynolds8960]

Please don't miss an adventure in space and time. It was done for the 50th anniversary

[@scloftin8861]

When you suddenly realize that the seeds of 14 were laid in the Day of the Doctor ...

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

having the doctor meet himself isnt new, the five doctors is a classic one

[@hallyhop]

"All thirteen!" *hyperventilates* 😂

[@noelle3551]

Oh you definitely missed the build up shows prior to the 50th including "The night of the Doctor " which would have put context onto this particular show!!

[@davidvaughan5512]

Didn't they discuss John Hurt not looking young anymore? I thought they were referencing that.

[@davidvaughan5512]

Didn't they discuss John Hurt not looking young anymore? I thought they were referencing that. Edit:Sorry, I thought this comment was only 2 months old, not 2 years!

[@kwdmiller3]

Imagine watching Doctor Who and not knowing who Tom Baker is.

[@phillipchallis966]

Right!?

[@camannwordsmith]

Imagine liking a thing and not knowing 50+ years of homework first, and then insulting people over it. How childish and embarrassing.

[@QueenAstroParticle]

@@camannwordsmith Who insulted anyone?

[@stuartarmstrong5190]

Thanks for getting this out before Christmas guys. You are treating us! I love it so much. PS I hope you saw the Night of the Doctor! It fleshes out the War Doctor and, by brining in Paul McGann, also links New Who to Classic. And the old man at the end is not just any Doctor - it is the Fourth Doctor - probably the most popular Doctor ever, certainly out of the classic shows. He's the one with the scarf (and, growing up, he was MY Doctor)! Fingers crossed you react to the Christmas special soon!

[@williamsrdan]

Love that John Hurt got to join the line.

[@kemmdog4444]

Now you know why Elisabeth the First was so mad at the Doctor in the Shakespeare Code.

[@SaulOhio]

1:13 "But I was promised tea!" Yes they are dry. Which is why you eat them with tea.

[@Nigel_The_Crab]

“You redecorated. I don’t like it” was originally coined by the 2nd Doctor, RIP Patrick Troughton

[@craigburkey269]

They filmed this one in 3D so there thats why they do certain things in this episode

[@Hanmacx]

He looks like a special Effect xD

[@MatthewStephensAU]

17:28 I've said it before, but no matter how awesome you are, you'll never be as badass as three of the Doctor doing a gunslinger walk over a dead Dalek while this music is playing.

[@joshuaoehler5796]

Biscuits (cookies) from the UK always come halfway destroyed, tons of crumbs. Also, Jammie Dodgers, and most UK biscuits are best with proper, milky, sweet tea.

[@kemmdog4444]

There’s the big,red threatening button the Tenth Doctor mentioned in his first story.😊

[@ashleyowen7664]

3:47 - David's Doctor: "I was there at the fall of Arcadia .. Someday i might even come to terms with that"

[@palisade32]

First of all I absolutely loved your reaction. Full Stop! I am dissapointed and, honestly surprised that you didn't react to "The Night of the Doctor" minisode first, not for me but for the "noob" as it sets up this episode (if I remember correctly it aired the day before this episode) and explains so much about the John Hurt Doctor while filling in the blank between McGann and Eccleston. I hope you will still react to it (or at least watch it) even if it lessons the impact somewhat being watched out of order. It's only around ten minutes long.

[@TheGungunnerson]

Fan theory .... at the moment of 10s regeneration , he remembers his conversation with 11 about Trenzalore for an instant and then says "i don't wanna go" ... which could be a double meaning .

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

When you think about it, freezing them in a painting isn't much better than just killing them. The victims wouldn't know the difference.

[@PGHEngineer]

I bet it doesn't hurt as much

[@QueenAstroParticle]

But keeping them safe in a painting gives the potential to free them when a solution is found. Death does not.

[@FlareZero]

"revisiting a few one, the old favorite" well that phrase was brilliant that now whe know that David Tennant will come back. My dream is that in the future they will call back some other ones, Jenna Coleman would be a great doctor.

[@sheersternfeld1914]

Yes! That what I always say! Jenna Coleman would do such an amazing job!

[@seansilence2697]

I love that the Doctors make fun of each other lol

[@canadianicedragon2412]

Tom Baker... my doctor, my first doctor... in the last seconds. Even seeing you watching this the show still gives me goosebumps. 😁🤣😂 And the... hint of a future? All... 13?

[@SNMG7664]

Do you have a list of the Doctor Who universe content in order? Seems like you might have missed The Night of the Doctor - it's short but it's a fairly big part of the set up to this episode

[@RalphWigg1]

That wasn't Rose. 'she' was the AI in the ultimate weapon that John Hurt brought to the barn, taking Rose's form!

[@georgenelawson9917]

This is so epic I could see them doing this in theaters. So awesome and hilarious lol. Love seeing everybody back especially Billie and war doctor awesome lol

[@kaizoisevil]

This was so hype back in November 2013. After the episode finished, they aired a trailer for the long awaited Sherlock season 3.

[@thevoiceofmadness257]

One of the best and most impactful Moffitt episones!

[@JanPopieluch]

Did you really skip Night of the Doctor? WTF?

[@tl1110]

REEEEEEEEEE

[@camannwordsmith]

This is no way a normal reaction, and you should learn how to speak to people.

[@Hanmacx]

This one was shown in Cinema in 3d

[@Andrew_MTGathering]

this is one of my favorite episodes the Doctor Who. Also next Doctor is my favourite

[@MarkSW]

I highly recommend that you check out the 8th Doctor action figure adventure series by Batmanmarch. It’s fantastic. It shows what would’ve happened if the 8th Doctor fought in the Time War, which is what we all assumed.

[@matthill3293]

Watching these two for the first time, I won't spoil anything but there MIGHT be some significance in one of your names'...

[@lancourt]

How few shows will ever get a 50th Anniversary special? And will any of them top this one?

[@charleslee8313]

If that was the 50th anniversary special, the 60th anniversary special should be completely insane

[@QueenAstroParticle]

Would love to know your thoughts on the 60th

[@charleslee8313]

@@QueenAstroParticle pretty good, but not as fun as the 50th

[@JohnWinchester3567]

What happened to the Night of the Doctor that came before this. Timely wimely? What is he 5?

[@JohnWinchester3567]

The guy at the end is Tom Baker aka Doctor number 4.

[@ciaranconlon84]

Did you do reactions to 7x13 and The Night Of The Doctor?

[@darklorddysart]

Where is episode 14? I can see the link on the playlist but keeps taking me to this video. Also the next episode 7x16 time of the doctor is missing 🙁

[@Jamestopboy]

How scary is the War Doctor? The Daleks *have innocent, easily shootable people* in front of them. They *give up their prey* because the Doctor is more dangerous than these easily shootable people and they have to finish him off first. Also: "Which of you is the Doctor?" Officially, in this situation, *the* most awkward question ask. And notice The Moment’s words: if the Doctor destroys Gallifrey, he lives. He saves Gallifrey… and is allowed to die and, at last, regenerate and move on.

[@ianpark1805]

You need a cup of tea with your Jammie Dodger., but don’t get too attached to them because, well, regeneration….it’s a lottery….

[@markallen1782]

How curious that Queen Elizabeth looks like Cate Blanchett..?

[@exuletempus]

I always thought he should go back and save people's lives he didn't personly see their last moments, and just replace them with a body double,

[@Rudromukherjeenerv]

No Sir! All Thirteen!

[@axspike]

Soooo..... Where is the smith/capaldi regeneration??

[@DanielThorntonPortfolio]

you gotta dunk a jammy dodger!

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Only The Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) will remember because this event happens in his present while the other Doctors will not remember when they go back to their respective timestreams as they are from his past. This was a decent anniversary episode I saw this at the cinema in 2013 enjoyed it and loved it but there were some misoppotunities too I feel like I would had liked to have seen all The Classic Doctors actually appear rather than old footage I was also disappointed they didn't show The War Doctor's full regeneration all we got was Eccleston's eyes and chin instead of his full face and they also made the Zygons into a joke instead of a serious threat they could have had Omega or Sutekh the Destroyer as the main villain that would had been cool to see. John Hurt was fantastic as The War Doctor but I would had preferred The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) to be the one that pushes the red button that would had made more sense to me but apart from that it was a great episode as soon as I heard Tom Baker's voice that got me alittle emotional they should had alot more characters from the Classic Series.

[@gnomiegirl22]

I think you missed a bunch of episodes the next one after crimson horror is Nightmare in Silver, fallowed by The Name of the Doctor, then The mini episode The Night of the Doctor and The Last Day and then (the day of the doctor witch you watched) and then the episode called an adventure in space and time. then the Christmas special The Time of the Doctor. so you may have really messed up and missed all of those episodes. I hope you still watched them on Patron and you just didn't react

[@a.mseymour180]

I hope the ones before this get unblocked

[@bananasaregood8655]

Brilliant episode of course, but on recent views some flaws appear for me. Seems more like an anniversary for modern who, and i find the 10th and 11th doctors take to the war doctor too easily with banter ect, they should take much longer to warm to him, not even want to look at him for a while, but they have fun banter almost right away

[@jmab721]

Where are "The Night of the Doctor" & "The Time of the Doctor" reactions? Dang, did you really didn't watch them? Wtf
