Fun Fact: The old lady that played the piano then died is The same Woman who made the 4th Doctor's (Tom Baker) scarf.

[@bitchenboutique6953]

The scarf was made by a woman named Begonia Pope (Tom Baker has told that story dozens of times) and that actress is Laura June Hudson.

The pain on their faces when they were listening to the music was fantastic. You could feel it.

[@scarigamez]

That moment where the Doctor says, "I thought it was non-diagetic" heavily implies he's always been able to hear the soundtrack, and I love that. Another moment to help imply that he's aware that he's in a show.

Welcome to the Jinkx Monsoon fan club, Reject Nation. This does a perfect job of showing why she won RuPaul's Drag Race. Twice.

[@leiaarianabonny4999]

In case you didn’t already look it up for yourself, the actor playing Maestro is known as Jinkx Monsoon. She’s a beloved and pretty well known drag queen as she won the title “Queen of All Queens” on RuPaul’s Drag Race a few years ago (you should check out her Snatch Game competition she’s freaking hilarious). She’s also now a Broadway star in addition to being a transgender icon for many, myself included. Jinkx being in Doctor Who in a role like this is just perfect and a dream come true for her I’d bet. I really hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of the Maestro.

Jinkx Monsoon is by far the best queen to ever compete on Ru Paul’s Drag Race. She won the competition twice. I absolutely love the design, the music, the story and the camp. It was over the top and amazing! The dance number at the end was a fun surprise. For me this was one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a very long time.

I didn’t know who they were but it was a great performance I agree and it really works for that character. Though I didn’t really like the song at the end ironically to me it sounded a bit like the bad songs at the beginning. With the Disney budget could they not have got the rights to just one Beatles song because that would have been perfect.

[@Scroteydada]

The double bill was smart. Routine expositionary episode followed by the "pantheon of gods" reinvention that RTD promised.

[@MLaak86]

Yeah it did get the “getting to know The Doctor and his new companion” stuff out of the way before dropping a super heavy high stakes episode on us

[@Tao_Tology]

It is also similar to the Sylvester McCoy era and stories: elder gods, hell dimensions, the physical embodiment of Death (her favorite color is green, btw). Real cosmic-level stakes.

Maestro mentioned the old one which isn’t a reference to Susan or any of that, it seems like ruby might be connected with a potential leader of the pantheon. The old one would insinuate he’s the oldest of everything so I think ruby is the child of a deity related to the pantheon which is why maestro seemed so spooked 24:53

[@anthonyschroeder8776]

Could be both. The old one stole susans baby and brought her to the past to mess with the doctor

[@wisewillowgames]

Meastro is absolutely terrifying for being so fabulous. I also think Ruby isnt related to the Doctor but instead related to the toymaker maybe the youngest kid or a child of one of his kids.

Susan (played by actress Carole Ann Ford) first appeared in the story An Unearthly Child (1963). The first episode was set in 1963. Susan’s last regular appearance aired in 1964, but was set in post-2164. Susan (again played by Carole Ann Ford) did make an appearance in the show’s 20th anniversary special in 1983.

[@Manx36]

The Doctor suggesting a Star Trek cross over in an episode was so cool and him mentioning his relatives, he had a granddaughter and he has a daughter that we’ve met but they have never addressed her again, he’s been married twice that we know of, where are these people now?

[@ericamanda01]

I met Jinkx years ago and they're honestly one of the sweetest, most humble people I've ever met. They had just won Drag Race and yet were so down to earth. I sculpted them a little duck with a crown, (water off a ducks back IYKYK) and I said I was sorry it wasn't better as I didn't have much time to make it and they looked me in the eye, grabbed my hands and said "Never apologize for your art!", then gave me a big hug! Jinkx is just an amazing person! I really hope we see the Maestro again. And what is with Susan Twist coming back, now for the 3rd time. She was the tea lady in the cafeteria. I wonder if she's THE Susan or the big bad?!?!

I loved this episode, and I love the chemistry between Ncuti and Millie.

(Yes, I know that would likely cost a fortune, but I mean, it's Disney.)

[@linkjag]

I think mentioning Susan all of the sudden was intentional. I think she's related to the mystery surrounding Ruby (maybe even being her mother). And i would imagine that Susan is coming back into the show in one way or another sooner rather than later

Longtime fans are probably posting that Susan appeared in “The Five Doctors” anniversary special back in ‘83. William Hartnell had died years before but she’s paired with the actor they cast as the First Doctor for the occasion and interacts with other companions and stuff. It’s fun! Susan’s been casually name dropped many times over the years and it always fuels speculation that they’re going to bring her back. When Capaldi’s a college professor you see a picture of River and a picture of Susan on his desk but if you didn’t know who she was it probably went by. For what it’s worth, Carole Ann Ford who played Susan back in ‘63-64 has said that she’d be down for coming back. Stephen Moffat directly addressed the possibility in an interview during his time running the show saying you’d have to come up with a truly awesome story to bring her back with, the implication being that he never did. As much fun as “Power of the Doctor” was and as nice as it was to see Tegan and Ace back, it didn’t necessarily feel ‘earned’ as the saying goes, so I see Moff’s point. 🤔

[@crushoncosplayernerd1657]

The 80th anniversary would feel more defined like Donna can come back once more but it's a surprise on top of Billie Piper's eager to come back because it'll be a live action adaptation of the audios. So we get Donna and Rose like "Donna" "Rose?" "It's great to see you". I think that's the type of crossover moffat thinks if we don't see her this season.

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ OK I gotta make this statement. So I went on KZbin to find a varied array of other reviews for these episodes just to see what everyone else is kinda feeling about the show and I am surprised at how many negative reactions there are to it. I am enjoying the positive vibe that Ncuti is giving for the doctor and what Russell T Davies is wanting to do with this particular series. I know we’re used to the doctor being doom and gloom and and always trying to save the universe cause it’s so dark but I find this very refreshing that wanting to bring happiness back to the universe and to have a good time. I have had plenty of other incarnations that were either really Science Fiction based or really tech and a lot of drama. But I’ve never West, that it would be the same doctor doing the same things every single time that’s boring. I like variety I like every doctor being different and approaching it which is why I am enjoying this new and I really wish people can see that.

[@stevejennings3960]

15:00 the giggle

[@chrisleneil]

I’m an Olde Schoole Fan, & I bloody loved it! Though I also tend to be absurdly fond of anything that expands/shakes up the canon. (While at the same time being thrilled that they brought up Susan!*) Plus the Toymaker’s Pantheon is brilliant. Reminds me of an absurdist/creativity-based version of The Endless from The Sandman. And Ncuti is definitely playing the Doctor as a genuine soul: human, Time Lord, or a foundling from another universe - just a person who meets you at a relatable emotional place. And the ‘twist’ at the end makes me happy on multiple levels! [*Susan, in the television canon, was dropped off in 2167 without having a Tardis of her own. Now she did have adventures in other media… and in ‘Dimensions in Time’, though many take that episode to be a cheese-induced nightmare of the Doctor. (Not me - I was just thrilled to get to see the Seventh Doctor again!) But there is no reason why someone close to the Doctor (say Leela or Romana) couldn’t have dropped her off a Tardis of her own or rescued her after David’s death.] Great reaction, guys 💜💜➕🟦

[@j-train13]

By the way so you guys mentioned it would be neat throwing the actual composer for the show in there, and they actually did. The composer, Murray Gold, was the one playing the piano during the musical number at the end, and he's credited as playing himself

[@erinmccabe1984]

The warning of more to come of a bigger entity, isn't with the Toy Maker but back to The Meep in The Star Beast episode. Cannot wait to see who/what this is. If it's The Master I will be not happy as that is too predictable. I want some thing different.

I hope we get a version of the Master again. Because remember when the toymakers gold tooth was picked up by someone. He did say the master was sealed in his gold tooth. I think my favourite version of the Master was the Missy and tenth doctor version. And the 13th doctor Master was so unhinged and so giddy that he was so fun to watch. Who can forget the Rasputin

I think it is Susan. She is the one who is waiting!

@@AnvilPictures RTD said the likes of the Daleks etc, will be rested for a while, especially the Master as they've all been used a lot the last few years. they probably won't appear this year, but from next year or the year after maybe

I love the fourth wall breaks, and the meta jokes, in this episode. Also I think the general theory is that Ruby is Susan's daughter, but I think she might be somehow related to the pantheons.

I was reminded of the Scott Pilgrim battle with the twins.

[@FirstSlateProductionsOfficial]

I adored this episode and your reaction amplified that even more. I think Space Babies was good fun if a little safe whereas this one felt more like “you liked that? Well look at what else we can do!”

[@gottagetitgaming7759]

This felt like fun David Tennant episodes. Loved it.

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ going all the way back to the beginning of the episode when the piano teacher asked who they were and maestro said them we are them and the piano teacher was confused and didn’t understand what they were talking about. Made perfect sense because it was 1925 and had no idea what they were talking about and I did not feel like they were trying to offend anybody with it. It just made sense.

[@amirrhodesve791]

bro why do you comment like 50 comments a video?

[@starhawk63]

I didn't notice an answer in the comments (but there are so many!) so the term about the non-human sounds was "Aeolean tones" - Aeolus was the Greek god of wind...

[@Sushinelucile]

Funny you guys mentioned Ursula vibe for Jinkx, she has been the #1 fan casting for a long time!

[@ltrujillo1971]

I've never watched your videos, but you beat Who Culture, so I gave you a shot...and I'm glad I did! Great reviews for both episodes! ❤❤

[@whatwhatinthewhat4400]

Was there any beatles music in this episode? Or was using the beatles in an episode where music was dying a really good idea so they didnt have to pay for royalties etc

[@jackhinze9347]

I absolutely LOVED this episode. Jinx as the Maestro(Iconic!), the dynamic between Ruby and the Doctor. It was great. But I feel like this episode would've benifitted better as a Mid season episode. It gave off that energy to me.

[@nicnack2548]

Love it!

[@jpwphoenix1701]

It’s funny you said about the show’s composer breaking the fourth wall. He was actually in the episode. During the musical number at the end, he’s the bald guy playing the piano. He’s also played a musician during a similar musical number in the Tenth Doctor story, “Voyage of the Damned”.

[@jackrobins8756]

Got a question for you Americans. Do you have all previous seasons of Doctor Who on Disney too? 1-13?

[@SundayMorning91]

Oh one thing i think is an interesting ides is that because Maestro comes from outside the Doctor Who universe, having them break the 4th wall is kind of in character for that concept.

[@bigjsquare1988]

There's a picture of Susan The Doctor's grandaughter at the beginning of the episode where Bill is introduced. There have been small mentions here and there.

[@luminglas]

I loved the 4 notes together like the Master’s heartbeat. Boom the TARDIS is under control

[@lilachodan4941]

I lovd the scene when they change their oufits and are so exicted to go there and see the beatles.

[@max410bery]

This being a secret metaphor for certain patents/copyrights while fowarding the plot would actually make total sense for the episode going off the season so far

[@max410bery]

I also will totally be playing the ending song when something does not go according to plan in my life now 😂

[@Kowanpoop]

One of the best episodes of Doctor Who ever. The stunning cinematography(the lighting!), the performances, music and that character! Really just amazing. I hope whoever shot this episode shoots all of the episodes.

[@StoryTimewithMissAnna]

This episode makes me want to rewatch Yesterday. Have you seen it? I haven't seen any reactions on KZbin, except for the trailer. Which is crazy, it's a film i loved like crazy and wish i could see others enjiy it too. 🙏 Hint hint.🥰 Still feeling high from your interview with Ncuti and Millie and Russell, so freaking awesome!!

[@papirooster6236]

I rewatched the toy maker episode after this, and I'm fully convinced the toy makers "spice world" moment was foreshadowing his child being the next to shown up

[@lilachodan4941]

This episode was so chaotic. This Maestro character was so unhinged and crazy.

[@kingboy1211]

So instead of the doctor finding out what origin the alien is he runs for the first half the show now

[@crushoncosplayernerd1657]

I liked that battle but of course if you, we don't see that just after this one. Like writers don't do that because kingboy doesn't like it. It was okay here but won't be if we don't see new tools and ways the sonic does.

Susan was left in 2164. She was an adult, so it was time to set out on her own, I guess.

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ by the way I don’t know if you noticed but I love Doctor Who so I noticed the little things. Tom Baker era Doctor Who always referred to Sarah Jane as his best friend. The only other time I’ve ever noticed another doctor saying that was David tenants doctor saying that about Donna Noble. Pretty much everybody else was a companion.

[@ParsureArts]

I love how campy this episode is!! And what a cool voice Maestro has-
