Doctor Who | The Devil's Chord | There’s Always A Twist At The End (FULL MUSIC VIDEO)

From Series 14 Episode 02 "The Devil's Chord"

[@TheDoctor_3D]

Ngl, when you think about it, it sort of makes sense for this musical part to occur when music gets restored after Maestro gets banished.

[@lukedownes3406]

I keep saying this. Like it makes perfect sense, people are just butthurr because the song actually slaps 😂😂

[@shadowrain1000]

It's the same reason why the Doctor was able to create a 2nd Tardis after the Toymaker was defeated. After one of these "Pantheon" entities is defeated, their energy lingers for a bit. "You get a prize, honey!"

[@agnikai8265]

This is the most amazing episode ending for a long time, the music has chords that fits the giggle, the lyrics "I think this song will never end" matching the universe finally releasing all this "music energy" for so long and the harbinger just watching (which i think it proves the universe releasing the "music energy"), seriously it's an amazing piece of art and I'm so happy Doctor Who is exploring more surrealistic situations and the fragility of reality, space and time.

This is one of those "I've waited my ENTIRE life to make a pun like this."

[@jacksmales4973]

This must have been great fun for the cast to do

[@lunasage.limusic]

Idk yall. I loved this. It was delightfully silly and whimsical, and tons of fun. The song could’ve been better but I certainly didn’t see this coming. I don’t think it’ll be a common theme in every episode. They’re simply pulling from a wider range of influences to keep things fresh. Dr Who is hardly high brow and I wish people would stop acting so weirdly pretentious about it

[@elliesteele2027]

While you might be wondering what the twist in question actually is, at 2:45 we can clearly see Harbinger lurking in the background, still alive and very much not poofed into oblivion. Anyone else think he might be coming back alongside other members of the pantheon?

[@laurentrichard6562]

While watching it for the first time, I noticed the billboard and how much space it takes in the shot ( 0:15 ), but didn't have the time to read what was on it. "Chris Waites" "The One Who Waits" Feels like a Harold Saxon type of situation to me

[@chickenwinna]

Chris Waites and the Carollers are a fictional band that was referenced in classic who. They'd be waiting for even longer than the toymaker. Would be really cool if this comes true.

[@nillsthefunexpert2571]

I don’t care what people say. I BLOODY LOVE THIS!!! IT’S FUN!!! Finally Fun in Doctor Who! And that’s what really matters! It’s a new Era with a New Style and I’m all for it! Some people just need to open their eyes and expand their minds at new possibilities and different views! Also Sometimes the show doesn’t need overly elaborated explanations to every single detail. Much like life itself: Shit Happens! Get Used to it or Go home!

People are just angry that Doctor Who is being silly on purpose now instead of it being a necessity to make up for the budget

[@ThatFoxxoLeo]

Doctor Who's always been a stand-out because it's been at least a bit silly. For me, one of the parts that made Chibnall's run of DW so poor in quality was that it never embraced that small bit of silliness expect in small MCU-esque quips. It having a big budget and that tang of silliness just makes it much more Who-y for me.

[@ckowkay]

I honestly don’t hate the fact that the show is going in this direction… but let’s be honest, if you went back in time and told hardcore Doctor Who fans that THIS is what the show will eventually become, they’d think you’re insane 😂 Honestly though this era is already a lot more entertaining than Chibnall’s era, and that’s why I’m still watching. While it definitely is not afraid of showing that it’s now owned by Disney, it’s definitely got a lot of heart. I haven’t had this much fun watching an episode of Doctor Who for a few years.

[@jeannemoder]

The fun thing is, this is pretty much how Classic Who was sometimes! Tom Baker especially loved breaking the 4th Wall and talking to the audience.

[@ethanbuckley6364]

This is fun and upbeat but it gives me an Erie feeling. Why are they dancing and singing and how is the zebra crossing making noises? I’m thinking that either the toy maker or someone else just as if not more powerful is influencing the doctor without him catching on. Also can someone explain to me who that little kid is who closes the door during the song????

[@haveagoodmourning]

The thing with musical numbers is they kinda have to be earned and they didn’t really earn this. Also there normally needs to be a point to it there was no point to this musical number, it didn’t have any deeper meaning they just wanted a musical number so they added it. The episode was fun but it lacked the part that makes it doctor who. It was to much Magic not enough science which can work in some situations but didn’t really work here. Atleast every actor involved gave a phenomenal performance which is probably what saves the episode from just being bad for me. And don’t get me wrong I do like having some camp in my doctor who but it works best when you ground it into a some form of reality. Like it worked with the toymaker because he still had some rules in which he followed and a reasonable level of chaotic energy, but the maestro kinda felt jumbled like they didn’t know what direction to take them in. At times they were cold and calculated and other times it felt like a child throwing a tantrum it felt like two separate characters

[@rainymoon9848]

The best musical episode of a TV show and/or series was the "Once More, with Feeling" episode of Buffy by Joss Whedon. Every song in "Once More, with Feeling" had a purpose and revealed important things that various characters were feeling. The songs were also actually very good, though some of the actors on Buffy, like Sarah Michelle Gellar, were not singers and had somewhat weak singing voices. The best fictional musical with the best original songs, was "Bombshell" the fictional Marilyn Monroe musical from the TV show "Smash". I love musicals. I was really hoping that I would like this one from this clip. But, the song just wasn't my cup of tea. They probably did want it to sound like it came out of the 60s. The dance choreography was good, though. I liked the Doctor's and Ruby's dancing.

[@elooscar23]

As a diehard and longtime fan of not just Doctor Who, but music itself, both classic and modern aliike for each cases, I can definetly say, with no regets, this episode is an insult to the series and to music. It's not to the fact that they make this a musical what kills it, but the way it was excecuted and the fact they just at the end cameo'd the Beatles (as in the rest of the episode) as just another band which makes music, apparently. I get the plotpoint was to get rid of music as a result of Maestro's evil scheme, but they just dumbed down the Beatles so much, even after Maestros defeat it feels as if they had literally not that much mportance to music, and was there as fanservice.... and this comes from a British show, who not only should give them some respect, but at least hire musicians to cover at least one of their actual songs, once Maestro was defeated.... seriously, did they not thought Paul and Ringo wouldn't see this? If they didn't, I'm really glad they didn't, cause this seems liike an insult to them. They had enough money to pay copyright if they wanted, and doing so would ensure more sucess to the show... but this just scares aways people who are both fan of Doctor Who and the Beatles alike. I mean I legit had huge hopes on this one they would honor and respect so much Beatles and their lore at least, not mock them like that, even if its aimed at kida audience, they won't care about Beatles like this, so the cameo would be for nothing literally... Russel, you were amazing up a decade and half ago I was really big fan... but your writing skills have quite aged badly....
