[@lukeyread]

FYI - Doctor Who hasn't been filmed due to personal circumstances - we shall resume watching once we can. Thanks for your understanding.

[@lucieudem]

take care of you two, really curious to known how Dippa is going to react of Capaldi :) he's one of favourites

[@Land967]

Capaldi's era has some ups and downs but so worth sticking with! Hope you are both okay though :)

[@maxpacker2372]

Totally understandable but also soooo glad you've not given up with do your who reactions completely. I really an intrigued to see Deppa's reactions to this era of doctor who and then eventually the regeneration into doctor 13!!

[@khaosbydesignuk946]

Doctor: I will keep you safe... Dinosaur: "catches fire" Deepa: "deeply confused"

[@ItsMeHarry]

When you both held your breathe I wasn't sure who'd win, can't believe Luke's was Deepa

[@Gallifreyforever97]

The 12th doctor has landed! The way you both spontaneously starting holding your breath along with the episode was hilarious XD

[@MrEvers]

it's almost instinctively, I do that too when characters are underwater for example, it's our primate brain mimicking survival tactics

[@coladict]

This intro was first made by a fan, and then the BBC hired him to do an improved official version of it and had Murray Gold compose a new version of the track for it.

[@MrEvers]

Classic Moffat "don't blink" "don't open your eyes" "hold your breath" "the shadows eat you" "the statues move when you're not looking" "the aliens make you forget them when you're not looking" and coming up this season: "what's that under your bed?"

[@theacentricbean]

This is my mother's absolute favorite episode. She's a fanatic for Capaldi

[@69coolchris]

I loved Capaldi as the Doctor. Would have loved to hear him get all sweary like his character Malcolm Tucker in the tv show The Thick of It🤣🤣

[@emmybm15]

I love "Paradise Lady" so much as well she's certainly one of my favourites 💜

[@jumbojaba1235]

So glad "paradise lady" is your favourite character aswell 😌

[@Jumpyman_thegamerYT]

The droids harvesting spare parts is very similar to a David Tennant episode called 'The Girl in the Fireplace'. The droids in this episode are from the sister ship of the droids in David's episode.

[@luciadwhpanimallover9222]

i was 14 when i got into Dr Who, this was my very first episode i watched and i got warmed into his doctor instantely. Capaldi is my doctor and will always be my favourite doctor, i would rate it 4.5/5 just because 11th doctor appearance kind of takes. When i very first watched it, I just assumed jenny,vastra and strax were the doctor's weird friends. (i had already heard the some of the simple stuff like the tardis. screwdriver etc.. from small talk during school.)

[@toms9673]

Gomez plays it so brilliantly - my favourite character too! Cannot wait for Magician’s apprentice/Witch’s Familiar! Keep it up guys

[@gallopinggargoyles7891]

SO SO SO glad we got to the 12th Doctor. And yes, the mysterious woman is also my favourite. Adore her.

[@Moggetslittlesister]

I wasn't completely sold on Capaldi by this episode, but the newspaper scene was the first time I had genuinely laughed at Doctor Who (outside of the 50th anniversary) for a long time, so that caused me to be optimistic. Unlike a lot of fans, I really enjoyed series 8, and had fallen in love with Capaldi's Doctor by episode 4.

[@joshuathompson5082]

You two are both just so British (same as me, just it’s a nice break from the American ones) and so funny and so real! Like it’s so natural The friendship, so great to see! 12 & Clara are my fave duo so I hope Deepa finds their relationship evolution interesting!!

[@SpeedyCat19]

It's amazing how much more I like the second half of this episode more than the first lol

[@alanbeaumont4848]

This is an episode that grows on you with repeat viewing because first time around there is far too much going on to take in all the details. Capaldi, already good, will get very much better.

[@FacePimpd]

As I understand it - this wasn't intended to be the last time we would see the Paternoster's, because at the time of Deep Breath, a spin-off featuring them was being mooted.

[@hilzabub]

I'm glad Deepa liked it. 12 becomes my Doctor next episode.

[@juliet1203_]

New intro timeee! Intros are definitely my favourite part of this 🤩😅

[@sarahchattaway95]

Next episode when I watched for the first time I was like this is the doctor. It felt like a middle series episode just because how natural the dynamic was. By now 12 is right at home and they know who they r...... almost 😂

[@whobp8]

As usual, your reactions leave me breathless. 😄

[@ceezyjeffezy2213]

Deepa as a companion Sees robot Deepa:No.(heads back to Tardis)

[@ryanwest5865]

Omg I’ve been waiting for this day for sooooo long!!! 🥰🥰

[@holdenb.huffman4042]

My favorite Doctor has arrived.

[@McTavish11T7]

That whole episode I thought you were sat funny Luke. The I realised it's not your knee, it's the top of the microphone, lol

[@rngwrldngnr]

For what it's worth, there are a quartet of Vastra, Jenny, and Strax audiodramas from Big Finish, with another 4 on their way.

[@markyoung3065]

I’d be interested to hear what Deepa’s favourite era is so far, 9,10 or 11? 😋

[@obiwankenobi687]

This is probably my second favorite new who Doctor introduction behind the Christmas invasion with my man tennant

[@DisgruntledHippo]

"Why, why are you doing this?" Yes, yes I'd like to know why as well Moffat you bastard.

[@hayeshatcher3489]

She’s my favorite character as well!

[@lukeyread]

TASTE

[@DaxRaider]

capaldi is probably my favorite doctor i loved him so much i stopped after him

[@thathiefsandiego]

Same

[@aaronlaffitte6846]

U both aren't good or loyal fans of the show then are u 🤣

[@thathiefsandiego]

@@aaronlaffitte6846 how old are you? 12? People have other stuff going on in their lives and different preferences.

[@aaronlaffitte6846]

@@thathiefsandiego nibbles 🤣

[@caitlin329]

I always find it sad that people stop after 'their' Doctor leaves. I have so many favourites and can't think of an era I'd completely skip. It's just personal preference though I suppose.

[@63thetasigma]

Can anyone please help me find the reaction where it ends with the zoom in on Deepa that they were referencing? I've definitely seen it but cannot for the life of me remember which episode it was. It's my favourite outro to any reaction 😂

[@lukeyread]

I believe it’s the Cold Blood reaction 😅

[@westlifejjfan]

It took me a while to get used to 12 as more shouty angry doctor but on repeat watches I love him more

[@souryorange]

MY FAVORITE DOCTOR

[@kemmdog4444]

Deepa is always calm,cool and collected.

[@petrolhead0387]

Capaldi is still my favourite doctor to this day. Don't get me wrong, Tennant brought the doctor its popularity and done an amazing job with the character, Smith continued to portray a great doctor with a twist from Tennants. Capaldi took the doctor in a different direction that was grittier and had a darker in deptg tone to the character, while still maintaining his alienesque sense where he didn't understand some of humanitys actions. He should have been given at least one more season, and I would love to see him cameo for a couple of specials.

[@youtubeaccount697]

I wonder if the first three episodes leaking so early deflated the sails a bit. I watched those and still liked the premiere. But after a packed 2013 for who, it was a really tough follow up to be sure

[@HollywoodandWine101]

I didn’t care for Capaldi at first but he ended up as my favorite

[@firefly24601]

"And we will NOT melt him with acid....."

[@hallyhop]

Are you guys gonna keep watching?

[@KnightKai]

he called her handles

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Its a great episode and its a nice start to a new Doctor as Capaldi is my favourite to the whole of NuWho Doctors i think Matt Smiths cameo in this episode was unnessary in my opinion because it slightly overshadows the New Doctors performace and its basically a message to the fangirls saying The Doctor is not young and hot anymore they didnt need to do that.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

On the contrary, the way most of the fanbase was acting when this episode aired, I think it was exactly what a lot of people needed at the time.

[@coloureve9433]

Been waiting for this as well, definitely the best villain this show has ever done, as well as one of the driving forces why don't Ike 14th seasons

[@EquinoxJones]

The older Deepa gets, the more beautiful she becomes. 🥰

[@The2Coolest2]

Clara pulling a Rose.

[@fluoxetoon]

Of course she looks good in Victorian clothes, she is Queen Victoria after all... ☺️

[@loganshirley9058]

I love that shirt

[@scottredding7357]

It's a shame we never see Crazy Umbrella Lady again.

[@hypnobedhead]

Deepa is gorgeous.

[@ivylady13]

How hot is it there? Oh, my, it's 105 here today in Southern California. Yikes! Love Doctor Who.....Has the power to cool us down.

[@obiwankenobi687]

This will be without air conditioning though with wet heat, high humidity and homes designed to trap in all the hot air

[@Dr_Rich740]

I wanted to love Capaldi when he arrived but really found his personality difficult to connect with in season 8. However he became one of my favourite Doctors. Capaldi is such an amazing actor.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Series 9 and 10 is where his acting really shines. This season has its moments, but nowhere near in the way the following two do.

[@u4euh247]

Strax or at least the Actor comes back in four more episodes as different characters.

[@organisedchaosxo]

My interest in doctor who certainly diminished as series 8 wore on but I did enjoy this episode though, love the Paternoster gang!

[@gregweatherup9596]

It took me a very long time to warm up to Capaldi as the Doctor, but now he’s my second favorite. Seems to take longer and longer for each subsequent actor to “gel” as the doctor.

[@obiwankenobi687]

You’ve certainly got that right

[@AirPokemonNaruto22]

Capaldi took a while to grow on me, but I ended up loving his Doctor as I continued watching his era. I'm just not a big fan of Series 8 though.

[@RedTheAbnormal]

Yas... Missy is also one of my faves, along with River. Would love to see the two of them together... chaos!

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Missy is the Best

[@mariastephens1827]

Deepa breath lol

[@davidbarry9690]

Nice couple of girls

[@NightRunner417]

Hey Missy you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind Hey Missy! Hey Missy! This is before she became the coolest Doctor Who character ever. 🙂

[@matthill3293]

Does Deepa have insta? I have a crush on her and wish to stalk her a bit.

[@Jamienomore]

Good Reactions but you let me down Deepa. When it's a New Doctor's First Story you should pay attention to it. Unfortunately you look away and started talking when important things were happening or being said. I wonder what will happen when we go to a big abandoned Mansion and go Ghost Hunting.
