Christmas with Steven Moffat! | The Official Doctor Who Podcast | Doctor Who

[@Dubble77D]

"I think one of the really important things you've gotta remember of the Doctor is-it's the same person. That's the most important thing you're selling to the audience. Not that it's a new Doctor. An all new Doctor. What you're actually saying is: 'if you look hard, you'll notice-he's the same person. And the same person that you've always known.' If you fail to do that-people WILL stop watching." 34:52 This man just gets it. The core tenets of the show. Cheers to the hosts, and cheers to having The Moff™ back with RTD. Here's to hoping that some young blood is in the room sponging up what they can. These lovely lads can't keep showrunning and writing forever.

[@SebTheNoob314]

I'm now going to start referring to him as "The Moff™"

[@fuccasound3897]

Yeah you've got to look pretty hard to see that these days, to quote number 12, "Don't be puddles." and to quote Nardol "Look 'ees havin' an emotion..." which was a JOKE.

TYRELL! I am so happy you are back and Krystina is just wonderful. What an excellent interview!

[@SophyVlogs]

I love Steven. Some of the best episodes and lines written for Doctor Who, were all written by him. Can't wait for the Christmas Special!

[@mastersalamander3048]

EXCELLENT hosts! Such a great podcast. Thank you all for your time and effort.

[@krystinaarielletigner]

I'm delighted that you enjoyed it!

[@MeidasWhovianAdvocate]

Yes this is the vibes Doctor Who brings me.

[@Suleiman-y8r]

Look how long this podcast has came 🎉❤

[@fuccasound3897]

Love the way Steven pushes back at the interviewers continuous attempts to make everything about the show emotional.

[@Andy-wl6xy]

I have loved Doctor Who since the mid-seventies. Looking forward to another adventure with 15 😊

[@MrPouley_]

I like this version of the podcast please don't change back with season two xD

[@farmbrough]

I LOVE these hosts! The best so far on the Who podcasts.

[@erock2728]

Much better podcast hosts then the other group.

[@danielpudge7600]

I always love doctor who be my 20th anniversary since I first watched it in March and it does help me a lot when I feel down and I lot of depression it also helps me with that can't wait for joy of the world and season2/ series 15

[@krystinaarielletigner]

It's such an incredible comfort show. I watch it when I'm happy, sad or just need to believe in good for goods sake. What a gift to have something that speaks to us so deeply. I hope you enjoy the show 💖💖

[@danielpudge7600]

Thank you always have since 2005 when I was 2 😊

[@rowanc88]

So the producers clearly listened to everyone's dislike of the previous hosts. Still don't know why they've not asked Juno and Christel back.

[@topmandog1]

maybe they dont want to? or something you never know

[@rowanc88]

@@topmandog1 I mean....there's a possibility Juno is one of the writers for the new season, so there is that.

[@topmandog1]

@rowanc88 we can hope

[@JennyDuncan-o3r]

There is a possibility that they wanted to be able to express their opinions about the episodes without worrying if they would be approved for being on the podcast. I really love the podcast, but i also acknowledge that it probably constricts the freedom to voice what they think about the episode entirely. My issue with the hosts during season 1 wasn't that they had no charisma, they were likable and charming, but they only had a passing cultural knowledge of Doctor Who, and it was less them themselves, and more the fact that the BBC thought that was what we wanted. The people who watch this channel are dorks (Myself included) who have invested bucket loads of time into this show, so we like to be rewarded for that, and having hosts who are as enthused as us is a great start.

[@jimf8047]

I liked Shabaz and Nadia!

[@IsiahBradley]

P.S. CORRECTION (?) Quiz: Wait a minute, folks, what happened to Nine and Rose: ROSE: "Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas!" NINE: "Who says I'm not, red-bicycle-when-you-were-twelve?" I don't know the episode, just the line... :)

Loving Krystina! 👏🏾

This video was so good! I hope there's more long form content in future, and having writers pn makes it funny too

[@nightowl8477]

Krystina's a cool host

[@CharlieDanvers]

I have some shots on *a* rock in central park from when i went in 2013, i'm gonna pretend it's the rock

[@krystinaarielletigner]

I respect it

[@uhoh8990]

YES KRYSTINA ARIELLE!!! WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE !!

[@Cali3643]

Weren’t there three regenerations in Christmas specials? 10 to 11. 11 to 12. 12 to 13?

[@126hustle]

Technically end of time part 2 was new years day

[@LuggyBro]

21:24 Steven pushes the idea thats well established, but sometimes needs reinforcing to folks, that 12 and Clara were indeed romantic partners!!! 12Clara crumbs in 2024, we'll take it.

[@PhreshPhil]

Can’t wait to watch this

[@richardbeute68]

Entertaining podcast with a nice vibe. I enjoyed it. 🤗

[@MarvelManMike82]

The knights question was wrong. Sir Lenny Henry was in Spyfall and isn't mentioned in the answer given.

[@Kowawadaddy]

I suspect it’s due to him being a bit of a controversial person at the moment due to certain elements online trying to suggest he is racist. I know it’s completely ridiculous but people don’t need a excuse anymore to try to cancel someone who has done so much good for a bad decision over forty years ago. The problem is that if Disney starts getting involved because they worry about bad publicity then they will pull out of the deal they have.

[@MarvelManMike82]

@Kowawadaddy It's still an incorrect answer in a quiz. I mean, if we're going *there*, then there's a lot of references to Michael Gambon and Harry Potter. Regardless answering a quiz question doesn't imply support. If I'm asked who the leader of North Korea is it doesn't mean I support him. Facts are facts.

[@Kowawadaddy]

@ you are right I think I am just suffering from cancellation burnout it drives me insane. Just ignore me I will crawl back under my rock and hide.

[@MarvelManMike82]

@Kowawadaddy I hear you, it wasn't a silly thought, and you might be right, but if so, then my annoyance is at the podcast creators, not you. Don't be discouraged from interacting, that wasn't my intent at all.

[@Hario338]

Incase anyone's reading these in the production rooms, apologies for hating on the series 1 hosts! While I wasn't as much of a fan of them as I was with Christel and Juno and Tyrell as a trio, it makes sense that they had to shake things up, since Juno has just been announced as a writer for series 2! She would have known all the spoilers lol so I understand in hindsight, even if I will still miss the setup of those first 4 episodes.

[@menaceinsane]

great hosts and great podcast episode (:

[@joshtalks1611]

Doctor who died when Peter Capaldi regenerated... Then was reborn as Jodie Whitaker bringing new energy to the show. It became more familiar with the return of david tennant and is going strong with Ncuti. Fly high Doctor who great tv show

[@h0lly_blue]

had me in the first half, not gonna lie

[@Z4iscool]

That this comment was rage bait for a second

[@joshtalks1611]

@h0lly_blue To me it doesn't matter what face the Doctor has. They are all the Doctor to me. And people who say otherwise are ignorant.

[@ToSeeTheHorizon]

See what you did there 😉- With you on this too! Lots of positives throughout Jodie to now, been enjoying a lot of it as well, enjoy the Christmas episode!

[@topmandog1]

oh youuu *shakes fist*

[@peternolan5501]

Absolutely living for how Krystina says "Steven." when talking about the pub quiz, like he's a pre-teen who got a particularly easy bit of maths homework wrong.

[@krystinaarielletigner]

It's my mom voice 🤣

[@MoonDragon1]

I liked the last hosts. These two are good too. Can’t wait until the Christmas Episode coming up fast

[@topmandog1]

@MoonDragon1 you what? The last 2 hosts were awful, they just picked 2 random tik tok people

[@Kowawadaddy]

I personally found them frustrating especially when we had just had three Doctor Who experts that between them were able to cover the entire history of the show. However I don’t completely blame them because they were given very little information to work with and tried their best with what they had and they are both good presenters just not in this case. Obviously we have Tyrell back which is great I don’t know yet how I feel about his cohost but she is a vast improvement and it feels much more like she is just chatting based on knowledge rather than reading a iPad. I do have to say though that like everything it’s all down to what you like and I respect your opinion about what you enjoy.

[@Aynshtaynn]

49:22 Well, frankly, that would be an absolutely astonishing guess if he did know.

[@SomeoneOnlyWeKnow.]

This is so cool. I've only seen Krystina in Dimension 20's Pirates of Leviathan which she was amazing in!

[@krystinaarielletigner]

"Hiya"- Bob

[@Drugsgamesandrockandroll]

A question that really bugged me was where did fish fingers and custard come from lol

[@krystinaarielletigner]

You have to wonder if he sat down one day as a child and was just like "I wonder" and started dipping fish fingers in custard. It's a valid concern🤣

[@Willy_Fisher]

Moffat turns up at 13:42

[@Jamess-tv]

19:59

[@MarvelManMike82]

Love the podcast, but DANG you would think the 13th Doctor never existed!

[@IloveAliBromley]

Are these two better

[@mastterby]

Thank god Tyrell’s back, really hope we get the others back too. We had such a perfect line up then they abandoned it!!

[@herbivarsawus4359]

'Father Christmas' is referred to in The Doctor Dances.

[@HSzL4rB]

Can Moffat come back full time so that we don't have to deal with the abysmal RTD writing any longer

[@brewster_4]

And then you lot can complain about Moffat’s writing again just like you did back in 2014

[@HSzL4rB]

@ I've always loved moffats writing lmao. He's the best writer the shows ever had.

[@brewster_4]

@@HSzL4rB I agree he's the best writer the show's had, but let's be honest, if he did come back, Doctor Who fans would just complain again and say things like "Steven Moffat has killed Doctor Who!" Doctor Who fans are never happy with the current showrunner.

[@joshuajoshua2732]

No thanks I want some one new.

[@BEE-oz7yd]

​@@brewster_4if social media existed back in 2005 it would have been a never-ending stream of "They killed the time Lords?!" "His costume is not colorful enough!" "COMPANION ROMANCE?!"

[@cjward_24]

"Who Said That" would have been so much more challenging if you'd read the quote not played the clip...

[@topmandog1]

woo the previous hosts have been sacked

[@brewster_4]

Not necessarily. They could always be back for season 2, with this episode just being a special one-off.

[@Drugsgamesandrockandroll]

No second chances im that sort of man

[@PopsicleSponge]

Christ this commentary is exhausting

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Moffat please retire with grace and let someone new, younger and ambitious come in as a writer.

[@brewster_4]

You do realize a new younger writer would've never written this episode right?

[@kivimik]

That's really up to the showrunner, not Moffat.

[@francistrain]

the podcast is not very good. i never got into it

[@RamingtonStilll-x4b]

That 11 years old prepubescent black boy in me, who had has heterosexuality come to bloom from Lisa Bonet and Time Lord Romana is awaiting a Doctor Who that totally is into women, so I can get out of mind David Tennant s Doctor permitted to lingeringly lock lips with the likes of Martha, because he's the right color.
