Your acappella rendition of the Doomsday theme is epic! 🤣Great video!! Had me in tears by the end.

[@LeonardoDiCapri-Sun]

Why did it make me just as emotional as the real thing 😂😂

[@Llamacoints]

Gridlock is one of my personal favourites haha. I also enjoy lazarus experiment which I know that one is more disliked haha. But it’s always intriguing too hear others views. Martha and Donna got the best episodes in my opinion lol. Massive Donna fan

[@CyanJimbo]

36:46 i need you to cover all of the best music from doctor who, this was incredible! Effort like that really takes what could of been a good tier list video into a OH GOD YES tier video

[@DannyTDW]

hahaha Thank you so much! Love this thank you for the feedback! :D

[@caitlintyson1463]

I can't express how happy I am that this video popped up in my recommended! I don't leave many comments, but this is one of the best DW breakdowns I've seen! I have such a soft spot for the 9th doctor and the RTD era! Ugh not only the nostalgia but the writing was just sooo good! We don't get moments like that any more! It was crazy watching this video and have my every opinion echoed lmao I'm still shook! Subscribing for more ~~

[@DannyTDW]

Love this!!! Thank you aha! :D

[@AuroraButterflyx]

This video was amaizng and well edited. Kept me enage and I can't wait to see your opinions on Moffat and Chibnall era. I think i agree with the majority of your opinions, although i prefer upltoia more than the actual finale and not the biggest fan of end of time (apart from wilf and david).

[@DannyTDW]

That’s fair thank you for your feedback!! 😃

[@SKRIBBLEproductions]

Omg I loved the cyber man episodes!!

[@memoryfoam2285]

K9 responding 'affirmative' to 'bad dog' is one of those moments that makes me almost cry despite the ridiculous context.

[@memoryfoam2285]

Another one is Tracy Ann Oberman's 'I did my duty for Queen and country' as Yvonne Hartman in Doomsday.

[@HOTD108_]

​@@memoryfoam2285Yeah, it's a shame Big finish retconned her death just so they could have that character serve as a replacement protagonist for their Torchwood range after Captain Jack Harkness got cancelled or whatever.

[@jackmcd29]

i love river just because i think the idea of following one time traveler, and then having another one show up sometimes and always out of order is such a cool concept.

[@phoebe8579]

i loveeeee the girl in the fireplace but my main issue is how it treats rose and mickey. they're essentially redundant in it, and i don't believe that the doctor would ever leave them, especially in the context of everything that happens in school reunion. i think this would have been a perfect episode for a solo doctor trip as one of the specials at the end of season 4 - giving the doctor hope of another companion then ripping it away would have been so so brutal, especially if it came just before waters of mars. or even as a replacement christmas episode post-martha's departure. it feels out if character for the doctor to abandon anyone but especially rose.

[@natvelo]

damn yeah having it be a solo story around the time after s4 where the doctor is at his worse emotionally would have made this great ep hit even harder

[@ilailaquer8182]

I agree! I really like this episode but the timing always felt off...

[@vivianevans8543]

The girl in the fireplace has always given me weird vibes because of the romantic tension between the doctor and madame de pompadour after he saw her as a little girl, and I found it to be part of a larger theme of Moffat using the doctor to act out fantasies of his own. I also felt it somewhat cheapened his and Rose’s relationship. I really wish that romance hadn’t been included because I would’ve loved it otherwise.

[@misterlau5246]

Yeah, a great episode tho. By itself. If we get to see the thing between Rose and the doctor 🤔 😬 Sarah Jane was right.. 🤔 🤨😏 Gotcha tiger.. Smart pants, Lady Killa 😏😅😬🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like Ricky Mickey said "🤣told you so, the mighty doctor is a bloke like anyone else of us, Men? 😅 🤣" Weeelll I mixed three episodes up but 😅🤓🙃🥃 it's Saturday

[@SmallvillenerdTwo]

Doctor abandoning Mickey is pretty believable tho

[@GummyDinosaursify]

Midnight was my first ever Doctor Who episode and it got me hooked immediately. I never really understood why Season 5+ never really clicked with me like Season 1-4 did. But you put it perfectly in this video. The dialog, the character interactions, the ability to just let things be fun without being complicated, the time to just breathe and allow the characters to just sit around and be friends. My favorite trope in any story will always be a good found family story and I think the RTD era does that so well.

[@Heatherlasweet]

Your rendition of the Doctor & rose’s theme was unreal 😂

[@smartpuff7389]

Loved this vid but only really disagree with “Gridlock”- sure it’s a 40-something minute traffic jam but the reveal as to _why_ everyone was stuck on the road? The fact that they were all there for _years_ and had literally no hope of getting out, the reveal that there were actually no police or ambulances or support whatsoever, the virus stemming from the mutated mood drug? That shit gets me every damn time. Also the Lazarus experiment!! Is about the value of life!! And how it is in no way dependent or proportional to how long it is!!

[@arlaalfrost8445]

“She’s 19 years old you nonce!” Had me in stitches 🤣

[@marinaananova8284]

I mostly agree, except "Gridlock". Although the idea of such setting is terrifying and the monsters at the bottom seemed redundant, but I love that episode, everything in it.

[@treefrog1018]

Yeah, all the different people and families in the different cars really painted a full picture of how people can survive a (seemingly) hopeless situation. Both tragic and hopeful.

[@nailinthefashion]

It feels very Wall-E with more edge and dimension. I miss that episode, wtf? Not having reruns randomly refresh my recognition of rare rhetoric is so rage worthy, but it's fine, I'll just go stream it meself

[@breadstick4458]

The scene with the choir is so damn good, really hits you in the feels imo. And the general setting is really grim, not just the fact everyone is sealed in the highway but the fact everyone’s essentially a drug addict (the emotion drug/patch things) and how all of New New York just died, that shot with like the parliament full of skeletons, such a cool visual

Watching Doomsday was the first time I ever cried from watching an emotional scene on a screen. I was 9 and learned what heartbreak was, and it probably cemented itself as a core memory. It still gets me now. So like, I agree with this rating 😂

[@nailinthefashion]

The fact that you remember is just as impressive as the writing haha

[@bald_lightning]

Doomsday may very well be the moment my empathy kicked in as a kid lol

[@lugialover09]

Tbh, the initial buildup of LINDA in Love and Monsters is actually kinda sweet. It's this whole found family kind of thing, and then it suddenly comes crashing down when the stranger shows up. Obviously, a lot could have been better, but I do think it has an interesting premise.

[@bald_lightning]

It needed to be a horror monster not a goofy one. Have the shadow monster that killed Elton’s mum make a return and destroy the group. Have it a lesson about how people who touch the doctor don’t have a happy ending, foreshadowing doomsday

[@lugialover09]

@@bald_lightning I know. My comment was about the initial premise, not how it ended up

[@babadoudidadouda]

Yes. And I also disagree with him on Marc Warren given a god-awful performance.

[@Backfisch5927]

I like love and monsters I first watched it dubbed so the bad acting wasn't even that bad and I like the idea that such a silly monster that gets made fun off by the show and the doctor can destroy peoples lives It is still really cringe tho and the ending is weird

[@SKRIBBLEproductions]

You have to remember when Russell was the lead writer he would have edited all the scripts, steven moffat gets all the credit for those episodes and he might have come up with the great new villain but russells editing elevates them to perfect. I never understood how when Steven was the lead writer his villains didn't hit the same even when writing the ones he created

[@jaystev]

I get what you’re saying but Russell has repeatedly stated that Moffat was the only writer whose scripts he never had to edit. I really just think Moffat worked better in small dosesz

[@SKRIBBLEproductions]

@jaystev oh cool, I heard from someone who worked in the script department but they could have been lying! In small doses he was a brilliant writer, the stories make sense, same with sherlock. But the later series were such a contrast and I didn't really like it at all. And the loss of character development/realistic families etc that russell does so well. I'm very interested to see what the new series is like and if I enjoy it again like I did s1-4. Even now I'm older I can still rewatch the older ones and enjoy them, and I liked the 60th specials. Fingers crossed for the new series!!

[@Luna-pk7gz]

@@SKRIBBLEproductions Amy and Rory have more chemistry with Smith than a lot of Russel's combos like Rose and Tennant, Martha and Tennant. Also loss of development ? Capaldi literally has the biggest arc in new who. And Smith while not having as much, does get humbled a lot in series 6 compared to his extravegentness in S5 which got him in trouble. Tennant also just didn't have that much growth, Eccleston did. In fact, his development was so good it made 10 underwhelming by comparison tbh.

[@mouse8429]

Just goes to show how impactful that scene from Doomsday was that even with the goofy dub over it I still teared up lol

[@forest7372]

My disappointment when I realised that you only recently uploaded this video, and now I have to actually wait for the part 2 and 3, was immense. 10/10 tierlist. Suprised you didn't mention the amazing line: "I would be proud... if you were my dad" to Wilf

[@CardCaptorDeadpool]

Well, that's alright then!

[@treefrog1018]

I agree. Midnight and Blink are perfect. Midnight freaks me out every time even though I know how it ends. Donna: Monto Bene! Doctor: No. Don't do that. Don't... don't... Don't. That performance from David is 10/10. The Doctor being scared is unnerving. Of all the things he has seen, he is usually so intrigued and interested. His interest becoming his nightmare is absolutely chilling.

[@karenhall4645]

Midnight is the one time the Doctor doesn't know what is going on and is not in control of the situation. Absolutely terrifying.

[@millystars]

russel t davies is defo my fave doctor who writer bcs he’s so good at writing people and that’s one of my favourite aspects of the series :) i appreciate moffat’s early work (the empty child is one of my fave episodes ever) but i loved russell t davies style when i was a child watching doctor who for the first time and i still love him now lol :)

[@sanddagger36]

the ending of RTD era was one gut punch after another. Episode to episode things seemed to turn out alright, but slowly more and more things just started to go wrong for the doctor and you realize it is a tragedy. In order to clear the way for a new doctor to have new adventures, everyone the doctor knew had to die or move on without him and he could not keep any of them in his life, and then, at the very end, when you think he has said goodbye to everyone and it's okay that 10 wasn't happy because none of the doctors really are, in the end they are just the vehicle for the next doctor, but right before everything turns out alright, right before 11 takes over and makes all of 10's suffering pointless, he says the one line that leaves it lingering, makes it impossible to forget that he has unfinished business and everything is not alright.

[@sanddagger36]

I'm pretty sure the way RTD ended things made it hard on Moffat, which is why he mocked the line in "Day of the doctor"

[@calboye]

I really like the gridlock end where Martha sits down and finally learns about who he is.

[@misterlau5246]

I agree Eccleston was fantastic. Too bad what happened.. More shocking was to receive the news when the series just started!

[@RGedits54]

Christopher Eccleston is my favorite doctor of all time. My first Doctor was Jon Pertwee who was great but Eccleston brought me back to the series and he was fantastic :D I see the appeal of Tom Baker and especially Capaldi and Tennant + Smith have a special place in my heart. But Eccleston brought so much nuance to the character and I thought was perfect with only one series! Love this show, I hope they improve the show's writing moving forward though. We want good stories with loveable characters.

[@Dr_Rich740]

Great video. I pretty much agree with your evaluations and playing this in the background is strangely comforting. Really looking forward to the Moffat review. Thanks for doing this.

[@DannyTDW]

That's exactly what I was going for, Thank you! :D

[@ThreadBomb]

The stuff Moffat actually wrote was great.

[@Andrew-ss7jd]

The whole sequence in Forrest of the Dead from when Donna enters the park to the scene in her kids room disturbed me so much as a kid that I didn't rewatch it until sometime last year and it still had my heart beating all throughout it. The way it all builds until she rips the veil off (I know the cgi isn't great but child me was very convinced) and reveals the messed up face and then the horror in her reaction when her children disappear. I watched films like Hereditary and Martyrs before I could bring myself to rewatch that episode.

[@hocusmocus5901]

I have vivid memories of watching Partner's in Crime while having an Indian takeaway as a very small child. The Adipose terrified me, and for whatever reason the association between watching that episode while having Indian takeaway left me terrified of chicken korma for months. Childhood trauma aside, I love that episode.

[@DannyTDW]

Love this, I have this exact same memory with other episodes ahah!

[@hallucinatrix9341]

i had this with doomsday and pringles ☠️

[@ThreadBomb]

Interesting list! RTD's stuff is a bit soapy and shouty for my tastes, but I can't deny that his energy keeps a lot of people entertained and he was the perfect choice to launch New Who (as was Eccleston).

[@shizusworld6219]

I'm not usually a fan of tierlists, but this is tempting me to make one of these myself. It's not until you see something like this on a tierlist that makes you really WANT to evaluate your opinions :D

[@ButcherSmite]

Like I wish the Doctor didn't give his clone to Rose (Like just avoided that story arch in general) and the ending for 14, instead of living with Donna, would be 15 giving his gift to 14, which is getting back to Rose to spend his days. I know, I know its been a while and a couple of regenerations since Rose but the Doctor seeing that ol familiar face HAD to bring back some memories and would've been a great finale for 14. The Real Doctor never ending up with Rose really bothered me when I first watched, even if he gave up his clone its just not the same so idk.

[@sallangel]

What a funny, and suprisingly heartfelt tier-list! You've reminded me why I loved (and still do) the RTD era of WHO. Subscribed!

[@DannyTDW]

[@studzekisiel]

You know an episode is good if it makes you cry just by seeing it's screenshots. The end of time pt2 literally BROKE me I cry like a toddler every time.

[@rcgriffin17]

One of my fave deffo really understated

[@katvelyte]

mentioned around 51:00 , in Blink, I think Sally took a lot of notes about her trip to the house and at the end of the episode, she gave her folder to The Doctor. Hence how the doctor knew what would happen.

[@treefrog1018]

Rose Tyler falling in love with the doctor confuses me. Is she old enough or not? How old are you after wibbly wobbly time travel? How do you mature? Is Age less important provided that you are an adult? .. because humans aren't full adults until 26.

[@Arvendui1]

Loved watching this, thanks so much for pulling everything together! Mostly agree with you but we'll have to agree to disagree on the 2nd half of Series 3 - in my opinion the 6 episodes from "Human Nature" to "Last of the Time Lords" were the very best of the RTD era and some of the finest episodes of all time. Best of luck with the channel!

[@brookdavis994]

This guy has the same opinions as me! I love Moffats episodes in series 1-4 but didn't really like his episodes as showrunner, also I wasn't a fan of the whole River Song plot after her debut

[@vitraartist2622]

The library is a great story though

[@heatherqualy9143]

Many people were on board for the Rose/Ten romance? The third season is not as good as people think? River Song’s story is annoying? Midnight is the best episode of NuWho? The Doctor’s tantrum was justified? The End of Time is perfection? “Golden Era” of NuWho?…Yes! Yes! All of the yes. HELL, yes! Yes, it was! YES! and YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS?!!

"Rose is an amazing companion" *Doomsday acapella* "The doctor commits a genocide but it's okay he's mourning " "*Martha being horny on main* 10: Rose would know what to do" "Gets turned into a police officer " I literally forgot Rose appears in the end of partners in crime and was flabbergasted once again This is my favorite doctor who review of all time made me forgive you for not putting Dalek and Turn Left in *Perfect*

[@MightyElemental]

My favorite episodes of the new show are (in order of favoritism): - Doomsday (Simply because of the ending. It's the most heart-wrenching companion sendoff in the history of the show. Nothing will top it.) - Human Nature / Family of Blood (probably the best episode of the show) - Midnight - The Waters of Mars - The End of Time ("I don't want to go") - Dalek - The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances (terrified me for months as a kid) - Stolen Earth / Journey's End - Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead - Aliens of London / World War Three - The Impossible Planet / Satan Pit - The God Complex (great, creepy episode but the ending was poor) Nothing from Capaldi's era nor from Chibnal/Whittaker's era. Capaldi is a great actor, but I hated the scripts. Chibnal was an atrocious writer and the actors didn't help matters.

[@blakefletcher9834]

In my personal opinion, season 4 was David's strongest season as the Doctor. Which is why... again in my opinion, Matt must have struggled because in his case, I think season 6/7a are his best, and season 5 was his worst. So I always find when i rewatch Nuwho it feels abit meh to go from The end of time part 2, into Eleventh hour and The beast below, kind of underwhelming honestly. Not that I don't love Matt, I do and I think he was great as the Doctor, season 5 straight from season 4 is always meh.

[@lovelylijah]

I’m just gonna be honest. I’ve gotta defend 42. I don’t like Chris Chibnall, but I loved the part when 10 was willing to risk his life to save Martha, especially after losing Rose. It hit me deep because he’s already lost someone he loves, and he didn’t want it to happen again. Besides that, the episode was kind of flawed so I do agree with some of your points. Great video!

“Moffat writing with one hand again?” Was hilarious 😂

[@amythomas7054]

Now that I've finished the video, I'll do a comment. I got into DW when Donna was the companion, best time to join tbh. I know why everyone loves Rose, I should love Rose since she's an unapologetic working class girlie but I just can't. I think it's because of how the Doctor and Rose get quite careless in their last season, like sure have fun but they forget how serious the things they're dealing with are at times. Matt Smith was "my Doctor" so I generally prefer those seasons even if they're a mess but RTD is just a great showrunner. Also, I love Martha, I think she's great and made the right choice in leaving when she did. But the way she was treated by the writing and by the Doctor kind of wasn't fair - Family of Blood is a great two parter but I can't understand why the Doctor would put her in a place that wasn't safe for her. Anyway, word vomit over. I enjoyed this video very much. The DW videos I end up watching are often very serious criticism so it was nice to have a person just talking about what they liked and what they didn't.

[@DannyTDW]

I agree to be fair that Martha was poorly treated but I guess that was kind of the point to focus on how The Doctor changed after her, I think thats why when shes brought back in Series 4 it did her some justice. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, My approach is definitely more comical and relaxed rather than the articulate video essays everyone is doing lately.

Honestly I hated Rose. Donna was a better companion

[@CarysCreatesThings]

I’m only up to the Aliens in London part, and I had to pause to comment that I think Annette Badland (Margaret) is one of the greatest character actresses the UK has ever produced. I met her at a small indie press awards ceremony in 2015 (she was there to support a friend who was nominated). When I recognised her, her friend said “you must be an Eastenders fan!” I said I hadn’t watched Eastenders in years, and before I could say what show I knew her from, Annette interrupted me and said “can I guess? I bet you’re going to say Happy Families!” And she was right! I knew her from loads of shows and films, but Happy Families stuck in my head the most. It was a show on CBBC in the early 90s and was based on a series of books. She played various characters, but I always remembered her as Mrs Wobble the Waitress. She told me that no matter how many different roles she plays (and she’s played hundreds!), millennials will always either remember her from Happy Families or Doctor Who, even though she was only in a couple of episodes, and that she loves that she was a part of so many people’s childhoods. Edited to add I just saw Mickey’s grandma and that reminded me that Mona Hammond is one of my other all-time favourite British character actresses.

I love that story! I will always remember her from Doctor Who! :D

@@DannyTDWWhen I saw her in Doctor Who, I got excited because I recognised her from so many other shows. She was one of those actresses who you’d see pop up on pretty much everything but nobody seemed to know her name, we all just knew her face. I was lucky that everyone was wearing name tags at the event I met her at 😂. She was very sweet. We chatted for a while. It turned out we’re both from Birmingham so she asked where I lived and she told me about where she grew up and how much things had changed the last time she visited. She was so lovely and fascinating to talk to. I got a really nice photo with her too.

Please can you do one like this but for Moffats era I really liked your analysis

[@DannyTDW]

Working on it now! 😄

[@XantuxNepomuk]

Nah man Gridlock is way better than "not for me", should be at least Okay, if not Good. Probably not Great. The twist and the music at the end are worth a rewatch

[@devyndevin]

I honestly disagree with most episodes in bad tiers. I love this era and am currently trying to sit through season 5 and 6. Gridlock was one of my favorites, I think the new earth storyline is so good, didn't really need the cats, but the story of gridlock itself is fun yet creepy. And season 3's paradox bit is so haunting I still think about it. Craziest thing ever but I don't get the hype with midnight. People say they like it because the doctor "loses" but overall I think its just a great episode. But also maybe the only episode I didn't think was silly in some way, all the characters a great and so is the story but I think compared to others its just great

Subbed purely for referring to K-9 as KSI, just waiting for the inevitable edit of School Reunion where all of K-9's lines are redubbed.

[@theosergiou7406]

Your commentary 😂😂 KSI, Brendrin, Derek from EastEnders

[@DctrCrwly]

This is the most entertaining ranking video I’ve EVER seen. I love it.

[@DannyTDW]

Wow thank you very much aha much appreciated 😄

[@maxlee8780]

To be fair the episode with the cat nuns not that unbelievable. If you have every disease in the world than some of those diseases would inevitably fight each other. There have been cases of cancers fighting other cancers.

[@flapackfez]

Rory Jennings was in Doctor Who?? That's so crazy to think about

[@no.3studios]

This era of television was just amazing. I was just a little kid forcing my family to watch it with me, and it still today influences my music and art. It wasn't flawless, and there are some aspects that didn't really fit, but overall Murray Gold and Russel T Davies are two of the best people who have ever touched Sci-Fi. Also it really made me realise that all my childhood crushes were 100% justified, just saying.

[@Tolstoy111]

Love & Monsters was a spoof! A DW episode from the point of view of a child.

[@cjbrett89]

I mean, wasn't the monster literally designed by the winner of a blue peter competition haha

[@l00r0lll]

You hating Love & Monsters is all I need to know. Terrible taste, idc what you rated everything else I skipped forward for that, and was disappointed. Some people just don't recognise art.

[@bubbadoo10]

13:00 giggling at that, considering that Davies is gay. :p

[@islaarnxld]

Wilfred Mott is the best character in Doctor Who history

[@manic221]

Funny at the start you said opinions are subjective and then you put gridlock in notforme and that’s one of my favourites haha

[@Gaht64]

I ended up doing one of these myself with all the eps in one tierlist and most of them ended up in S and A lmao I think I like this era

[@anita_daphne_]

“the daleks are back,what a shocking revelation😐” doctor who in a nutshell

[@sarahhamilton8237]

Ngl I love the love and monsters episode, classic camp

[@QueerCoral]

This was amazing and hilarious! Thank you!! Looking forward to the next one 😊
