Moffat had no idea Jodie was going to be The Doctor when the two-parter finale was written, the "we can only hope" line was basically him asking for it, but he had no say in who was going to be cast, only the next showrunner, Chris Chibnall had any say really.

[@zarnox3071]

"I don't think 12 wants to go." Well, that is the plot of this episode.

[@emaloney2211]

Just to let you know when the First Doctor says to Bill ‘you’re looking for a jolly good smacked bottom’ it was a call back to when he said that to his granddaughter Susan in the classic series, a time when that was perfectly innocent thing to say without anyone looking for double meanings! I just love 12’s face when he realises all his memories were back, it was so full of joy! The captain is revealed to be the grandfather of Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart ( although some claim it was his great uncle). The scene where the Doctor and the Captain salute each other is a call back to when the Doctor saluted the Brigadier as a Cyberman. The only thing I wish they had done was have River appear to say goodbye to her husband 😭

I loved how much Capaldi's Doctor developed (at least compared to some of the other Doctors) sometimes in noticeably drastic ways and sometimes in very subtle ways. My personal favorite development Capaldi had was his views on hugs. When he 1st starts out he says that he's not a hugger to Clara, but by the end of his Era he was definitely a hugger and valued being close to his Companions, as we see with him and Bill and Nardole.

Capaldi had a lot of hate thrown at him and honestly he was an underrated Doctor. If people hadn’t been so harsh I wonder if he’d have been down for another season. Good luck with 13. As a doctor she’s just fine but the rest leaves a lot to be desired

[@theabomination5894]

He was definitely not underrated. In fact I hardly saw any hate towards capaldi during his run. Most people when a doctor regenerates hate that doctor until the end.

[@Movielad69]

He was very much THEE doctor, he fit the doctor role so well, instantly you could see he was the doctor in tone and the calibre of actor to both classic and modern who... But his issues were in story, they just didn't work out script wise (with a few exceptions) and it impacts his portrayal in long term.. but cos he is such a good actor he pushed alot of bad scripts along and made what he could work.. however contrast this with current who, we are seeing a perfect storm of bad everything, Jodie doesn't fit the role, very mis casted, no real depth, very agenda driven and eye rolling, she can't carry the bad stories like capaldi, and the series is suffering as a result.. plus the really bad direction it is going in..

[@DragonsDungeon]

If anyone is annoyed with the first Doctors comments, I would like to tell you in the once upon a time novel it is revealed he was purposefully making those comments to annoy 12 for his amusement and was not being sexist via lack of knowing/care (so I’ve been told I haven’t read the book)

[@metalmugen]

I like how there's always supplemental material to cover up the bad writing of the show, kinda like in Star Wars.

[@DragonsDungeon]

metalmugen I wouldn’t call it supplemental it is literal the episode in a novel format, like Rose or Day of The Doctor. The only difference is you get to see what goes on in the characters head more, because that is the point of books, character > plot, I wouldn’t call it bad writing, then again I never minded the comments because honestly without watching much old who it’s kinda what most shows show you when there set in the 1960’s (I’m not sure when the first Doctor was on air), especially to do with time travel. Plus build just going, “yeah, me too.” Was too good with their faces

I do want to point out my one criticism of the writting for the episode, that the first Doctor/William Hartnell wasnt portrayed as a sexist or anything like the jokes made in this episode it was a choice made to bring out humor but i don't recall any line the first doctor made that would be taken as sexist or anything like that he did use the line on the smack bottom for Susan but that was different context and it was his granddaughter

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

Exactly, also Moffat disliked his entire era. He wasn't exactly going to be objective when portraying the 1st Doctor. What makes it even worse is the beginning where it transitions from original footage (from The Tenth Planet) to a recreation; giving a false authenticity to his episode.

12:15 The TARDIS set here is actually the one they built for An Adventure in Space and Time in 2013, the documentary they did for the 50th anniversary. The original was WAY cheaper and shoddy.

[@hmsljj]

Thanks so much Fairwhale for the fun WHO reactions. Been with you since S1E3 and have enjoyed every moment. Look forward to seeing you wirh future reactions to new stuff.

[@ChrisInScotland]

IIRC This happened coz peter and Steven were at a convention and someone asked Steven which doctor he would like to have written, Stephen said “the first doctor but obviously William Hartnell isn’t alive” and Peter said “you could use David Bradley” and a great episode was born...

[@latiosbob6601]

I’m pretty sure the recording crew only had like 20 minutes to record capaldi’s last scene

[@FirlowXD]

13 undeniably lives up to 12's final words. That is in no doubt.

[@tonyjohansson7567]

A wonderful reaction to a very sweet episode. The 12th Doctor was one of the best. Capaldi is a brilliant actor!

[@joetaylor197]

3:12 "i wish i watched that episide" man so do i lol we all wish we could

[@celeste9958]

A real rollercoaster of emotions.

[@honeydew75]

the way this episode made me cry when I first watched and the way it still makes me tear up ahh I love Capaldi 🥺

[@alexfletcher5192]

The one thing they do get right about the first Doctor is his grumpiness and his sense of authority on a logical scale. That's also a reflection of William Hartnell's age. I recall my grandfather (born 1905) going out to work on the railways the same time every day, so you could set your watch by him. It's part of the same tradition, but applied to another British archetype. Only, sometimes, some out of date opinions went with it....

[@keithalanbaker535]

For me the highlight of the episode was discovering that the soldier was the father of brigadier lethbridge-stewart and the grandfather of Kate Stewart although for some reason that seem to pass you by.

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

I loved that part too. Cause I always wondered how his family met him and was connected. They made comments to it but to see it and to be surprised by it was awesome!

[@emaloney2211]

Not to be picky but it’s too early to be his father as this was the First World War (1914). If we’re saying the Brig is the same age as his actor Nicholas Courtney (1929) he wouldn’t have been born yet so one of the Captain’s sons is his father therefore it’s the Brig’s grandfather and Kate’s great grandfather. However the sentiment is still there, with a name that the Doctor will definitely look out for and will become one of his closest friends.❤️

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

@@emaloney2211 Why would u assume the actor is supposed to be the same age as the character in Who? That's rarely the case in most shows.

[@LynneStringerAuthor]

This episode still makes me so emotional.

[@Lady_Jay]

ok for you who dont understand about the football thing in the seen @18:14 we can not forget our history or the men who died to save us The Christmas truce (German: Weihnachtsfrieden; French: Trêve de Noël) was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front of the First World War around Christmas 1914. The truce occurred only five months into the war. Hostilities had lulled as leadership on both sides reconsidered their strategies following the stalemate of the Race to the Sea and the indecisive result of the First Battle of Ypres. In the week leading up to 25 December, French, German, and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. Men played games of football with one another, creating one of the most memorable images of the truce.[1] Hostilities continued in some sectors, while in others the sides settled on little more than arrangements to recover bodies.

[@shad3115]

Capaldi always had the best speeches:(((((

[@greenstarrysky9881]

I was crying at Capaldi’s speech at the end. I always cry when the Doctor regenerates. It’s always so sad and hard but also a good reminder that you have to move on. I’m curious about his reaction to season 11 and 12 since both seasons have caused a lot of controversy amongst their audiences

[@alanbeaumont4848]

Another episode that you can revisit to clear up what happened and also cheer yourself up. Doesn't quite match Capaldi's zenith in 'Heaven Sent' but still a fitting departure, albeit rather premature. In 'The Doctor Falls he is given this to say': "I don't want to change again. NEVER AGAIN! I can't keep on being somebody else..." It was prophetic and so this is where I (old enough to have seen the first episode in 1963) leave. Capaldi was forced out at least a Season early by BBC internal politics and you are about to find out what an error that was.

[@thisnthat42]

Where did you get the idea that Capaldi was forced out? He's always maintained that he left because he wanted to do other things.

[@victoriaturnershoemaker3723]

Capaldi also said it was becoming too difficult physically, and wanted to leave before it affected his performance

[@timrob12]

Watching this episode in local cinema with others was a great joy. A lot of laughs at the jokes at the right time and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Whovians reunited and having a good time. What more can one wish for?

[@littleratboye]

Finally made it here I’ve watched from the start to here 6 days straight loves the reactions all the way

[@ComickerSeikatsu]

I read somewhere the line about Children who can hear the Doctors name was something Peter Capaldi actually said to a child at some point in his run. Which I thought was pretty cool.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Capaldi's final lines were so incredibly meta as he was saying goodbye to the role he had spent his entire life persuing and at the same time telling Jodi and all future doctors what the most important things are.

[@taladavidson5400]

“Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind. Doctor, I let you go.” capaldi and moffat’s final love letter to the show, this episode never fails to bring me to tears. it’s like the emotional epilogue to the big finale of WEAT/TDF, giving 12 the closure he needed and absolutely deserved. so many things come full circle, regardless of my opinion on the current era i believe this could have ended the whole show. beautifully poetic, a lovely, subtle sendoff about 12’s character development and suicidal tendencies, which isn’t spoken about enough. the final scenes on the battlefield wrap up his era and character perfectly, as the man who hated soldiers now alone on an empty battlefield. the fact he gets his memories of clara back is everything and his regeneration speech is pitch perfect, i’ll never let 12 go. he really had such a complex and beautiful character arc, you can really see how far he has come here. 12 is and always will be my doctor

[@firefly24601]

"To be fair, they cut out all the jokes!" Written by a true gag writer. :D Also, when she said he could speak with HER again, I though it would be Bill or River. When I saw the silhouette of the hair... I still wasn't sure. :)

[@dominicsinclair2142]

It makes my heart and soul smile watching your reactions to my favourite ever show. I too still laugh and cry in all those places... and Im 51 ;-)

[@geekdetritus5503]

The Christmas truce of 1914 is my favorite history story. I'm so glad they were able to address it in the show. So few people know about that amazing day
