Doctor Who is my all-time favourite show, and I decided to embark on a daring challenge: a 24-hour binge-watch to test the limits of my love for the Time Lord. Join me on this whirlwind adventure to discover if my devotion to Doctor Who is powerful enough to defy the sweet embrace of sleep. The journey began when I asked for episode suggestions on Twitter, and the responses ranged from brilliant to not-so-great. To make things interesting, I put all suggestions on a spinny wheel, ensuring that every episode I watch is entirely random.
From the highs of "Heaven Sent" to the lows of "Fear Her," the challenge took unexpected turns. As the clock ticked, I faced regeneration episodes, classic Who, and some surprising twists. Along the way, I want to express my gratitude to our sponsor, BetterHelp, for supporting this video. Whether facing mental health challenges or the hurdles of life, therapy can provide invaluable tools for a fresh perspective. If you're ready for a journey of self-discovery, check out the link in my description for a special offer from BetterHelp.
The challenge had its ups and downs, moments of exhaustion, and unexpected twists. As night fell, and my girlfriend joined in, I faced the toughest part of the challenge, culminating in a surprising ending. Did I complete the full 24 hours? Watch to find out and witness the rollercoaster of emotions in this epic Doctor Who marathon! Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more crazy adventures on the channel. And hey, if you've ever considered a Doctor Who marathon, think twice-it's not for the faint of heart!

Fear Her and Sleep No More back to back would’ve actually been torture for 90 minutes.

[@thekandyman.]

Sleep no more is good though

[@sdasdasdasda8832]

@@thekandyman. Fr, still don't know why people rate it so badly.

[@JAMYOD]

​@sdasdasdasda8832 its kinda gross and a little too open ended. It being a bit gross is kind of a nitpick, but the fact you never even figure out what the whole thing was about kinda defeats the point of it being a doctor who episode. The end where you figure out what was happening the whole time is part of what makes the show so good. The begining builds so much interest but the fact you never figure out what was really going on is very frustrating. Its also just kind of a drag cause they kinda just run around achieving basically nothing the whole time and it introduces a bunch of plot points that felt like they went nowhere. This is just me trying to think of as many negatives about it as i can, i dont remember exactly how accurate these are but its how i felt at least and maybe im not alone, maybe that helped a bit on why people may not like it?

[@sdasdasdasda8832]

@@JAMYOD I understand the plot points that went nowhere, and being frustrated about the no explanation part. But I did really like the end, and it gives a chance for my imagination to make up something cool ig lol. But yea totally I understand, I'm not saying this is an amazing episode just that I enjoyed it. The end going nowhere was a problem with Blink tho.

[@JAMYOD]

@@sdasdasdasda8832 well the ending of blink went to the begining of blink and tied the whole thing together, it explained why the tapes of the doctor exsisted and how he was able to know all that so i wouldnt say the end went nowhere.

[@noahh688]

Fear her is overhated. Love and monsters is actually great. Anything that shakes up the formula is welcome in my book.

[@DaxTehWeeb]

everytime i watch fear her i always have alot of fun i quite like the episode

[@datcheesecakeboi6745]

Love and monsters was pretty good imo, I love the actors

[@samuelmoncur9354]

Bro you are so lucky you didn’t have to watch Web Planet at 3am

[@JamesBoxxy]

I've watched about 36 hours worth of Doctor Who in the space of 48 hours before. I love Doctor Who so much that it isn't hard to get lost in the wonderful stories for days on end! 😆😆

[@CrispyPro]

HOW OH MY GOSH

[@Void-xir]

Ik that this was from a few months ago but please don’t accept sponsorships from “Betterhelp” they don’t used licensed therapists and they sell your data from sessions.

[@Cybermale734]

You are the pinnacle of a whovian🫡

[@SimmsDungeon]

I know it is late but once I did almost 3 days straight of 60s doctor who. Lots of energy drinks and minute long power naps were in that one.

[@Dani_Paterson0]

5:10 Crispy is the first known person in history to order food from Red Rooster and I am shocked that they even sell food.

[@CrispyPro]

I agree, the strangest part of the video! I thought I lost my mind in the PM... but I lost it when I ordered Red Rooster

[@tennenyt5311]

Eaters of Light is such an episode, it's so one of the doctor who episodes that was made

[@sdasdasdasda8832]

Lol fr

[@kbg12ila]

Yes! I think it's actually one of the worst episodes of the show. At least Love and Monsters is not boring haha.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Wow, didn’t even know people hated that one. It’s pretty mid, but I don’t think it’s bad.

[@mateokunzer]

@@Jim_The_Fish i can never make it through it fully, i always fall asleep

[@fkez0510]

​@kbg12ila yes but love and monsters is painfully cringe

[@Aneurin_Hunt]

I so badly wanted to see the web planet come up later in the run. Might of resulted in falling alseep earlier.

[@5SSS]

me too

[@CulturePhilter]

Now do it again but with ONLY classic series stories on the wheel 😄

[@bradjones1977]

And not stretched to 16:9! My pet hate!

[@jvblhc]

If I had done this, I would have made on change - once you've watched one episode, it goes into a bin and you do not have to watch it again.

[@MrRjhyt]

I missed 'God Complex', it was unwise to leave duplicate episodes in there... Heroic effort!

[@P-A.N.H-C]

I agree, and I think they shouldn't bring women to be the doctor from the beginning In my opinion, I think the Doctor should be a man. Always a man! In my opinion 🙂🙃

[@steve-0493]

God I love the God complex!! The dummies, they slowly turn the heads!! Gottle-a-Gil Gottle-a-Gil (What it sounds like)🤣😁✌️🍻🤷‍♂️

[@josephchambers2000]

If you want to get exactly 24 hours out of classic who then you go The Daleks The Dalek Invasion Of Earth Mission To The Unknown The Smugglers The Krotons Inferno The Face Of Evil The Robots Of Death Underworld Time-Flight And finally The Two Doctors Admittedly, some of these will be re-cons.

[@sdasdasdasda8832]

I usually do a 24 hour watch every month or so, and im getting really good at it, but I did a watch through of the 13th doctor for one... And it was the most painful thing I ever did.

[@frisby7143]

My god why would you do that to yourself

[@CrispyPro]

From what I'm seeing in the comments is that this is not a challenge for some people! HOW?? Well done though!

[@kirkengstrom917]

I rewatched all of the episodes from Jodie’s first season + Resurrection of the Daleks + Power of the Doctor in preparation for the new series. And it was so much hella fun! Like being a kid again watching the classic series or being reintroduced to an old friend. And I had to force myself to rewatch Planet of the Dead to make sure I could withstand whatever the worst RTD throws at us would be….. I actually considered bailing 25 minutes in.

[@takahashierik]

Heaven Sent as the first episode is a great metaphor for what you were about to endure

[@MrRjhyt]

I'm imagining this if 'Trial of a Timelord' was on the wheel...

[@5SSS]

the key to time is even longer

[@bobdallas4860]

The Key to Time? As in the whole season? You would have had it really easy with that one mate.

[@damiandennis5297]

Question, the man with the dark hair in midnight, is that the guy who plays Merlin in Merlin

[@bjornosthed694]

It is!

[@busterandloulou]

When I watched Doctor WHO for the first time, it was shown in 20 minute increments with introduction and closing credits. Since my husband (not a Doctor WHO fan) was out of town on business, I watched from about 2a.m. One morning until about 4 p.m. (38 hours) before finally being able to fall asleep. A day and a half of Doctor Who, good pizza and colas. That’s what I call a good day.

[@markmangan2409]

I don’t want to be that guy but if you only watched 21 hours and then another 3 45 minute episodes, then you still need to watch one more 45 minute episode to make it 24 hours

[@alounsymasters]

I personally love fear her I don’t know why people don’t like fear her but I thought you did a pretty solid David Rose episode

[@Shoduka]

This is a certified Crispy Classic

[@CrispyPro]

CERTIFIED!

[@Faction.Paradox]

Dimensions in Time feels like it lasts 24 hours

[@matleb8491]

Watching The Five Doctors for the 1st time that way is so sad 😭

[@CrispyPro]

I'll give it the respect it deserves another day don't worry!

[@Jaye_The_Gaye]

the amount of times you were THIS close to having to sit through the web planet was PAINFUL. you should do this again with a classic only wheel

[@Nightmare_Child]

I would love to do this challenge with friends but let any episode run including classic who and mini episodes! I love all doctor who!

[@JupiterRising3607]

This cracked me up so much. Even with my coffee ☕ I don't think I could've lasted as long as you did Crispy, well done you're a trooper! 👍🏼💪🏽 now go get some sleep! 💤🥱😴😄

[@autisticriddler]

5:25 wait… people don’t like closing time?

[@topmandog1]

i like fear her, i did in high school use to qoute im reporting you to the council alot tho

[@CrispyPro]

I'M REPORTING YOU TO THE COUNCIL!

[@jaytops]

So ONE classic in "24" hours. That wheel was a bust, whoever the noob was that suggested it needs to question their life. Even watching 2 parter classics is like watching one revived. The Sontaran Experiment or The Rescue or The Awakening. Ok kidding with the last one.

[@alexhodgkinson6718]

Classics are a far smoother watch later in a marathon when you'd get sick of the fast paced nature of New Who

[@kieronbeeston]

Think I'm gonna have to try this challenge. Can't believe I've never thought of this before. As you fell asleep during this, I'd say you should do the challenge again. However I think this time you should split the 24 hours into 2 blocks, with classic who in the first 12 hours, and modern who in the second 12. I'm sure you can do it @CrispyPro

[@VuddyProductions]

Sleep no more is a banger I can’t be allowing this hate, but I agree with the eaters of light hate to a certain extent

[@bonnechance3]

Crispy, we love you, you don't need to torture yourself to prove it

[@cybermatstrikes7557]

Should have made it a real challenge and gone classic. I'd have started at midnight with midnight.

[@TheHalloumi]

It's so disappointing that someone put the entire Key to Time season as one suggestion and it didn't get picked, that would have been SUCH an awesome way to spend a day

[@whophd]

Hey hey just so you know, ABC TV showed classic Who at 4:30am for a couple of years around 1993-1994, in fact it was Davison era and a bit of Colin and Tom. So you know the pain now. There was NO KZbin, no streaming service, no DVDs … just a bit of time-shifting VHS if you were smart (and a library of VHS was more expensive than makes any sense whatsoever now), but myself a few times (and a teacher at my school ALL THE TIMES) watched it “live” at 4:30 in the morning. It was nuts.

[@KismetMulhaneski-to3wg]

Don't blink. No I MEAN don't blink!!!😅

[@joelsunnex5171]

WAIT?! YOU ACTUALLY DID THE SPINNY WHEEL?! THAT'S WAS MY TWEET 😂😂😂

[@pheonix8167]

U forgot old and new doctor who can t wach all 24 hour with out them !

[@shoopidly5249]

I dont know how many hours it was, but I binge watched Seasons 5b-7a when working on my first final project of college. I only got 2 hours of sleep in 72 hours and I distinctly remember the S6 finale making absolutely no sense in my sleep deprived state. I couldn't bring myself to watch again for months.

[@robbycooper6787]

4:30 we wrote it by starting with a drawing submitted by the guy who owns channel pup when he was a child, then altered the idea of the drawing, then tried to write a story about the fanbase that included the drawing and failed or it was the other way around, at least he didn’t intentionally destroy the narrative structure with a story that’s knowingly intentionally as unsatisfying as possible where no one is likeable unless when compared to someone that’s somehow more unlikeable that’s framed as kinda likeable to the audience and most of the characters.

[@LtexprsGaming]

Honestly your parody of Love Game was the highlight of the video. Interesting concept, but i feel like you shouldnt have included multiple of the same episode, i think a good alternative would be 2 and 3 parters as 1 selection. Like when you did parting of the ways you should have also watched Bad Wolf. Overall though, loved the video.

[@dxctr_master]

omg u should spend 24 hours watching just one episode of Doctor Who on repeat (make it a rlly funny one like fear her or love and monsters LMAOO)

[@hifive789]

Already did that, don't need to do it again.

[@krh2024]

Hey @crispypro i saw that my comment on your post for you to watch happened to the first one which you said was good and it been heaven sent. Thanks for the mini shout out

[@aaronmhacker]

mavity is wild

[@AlisterBoom]

I had a hyper fixation on doctor who so I actually watched all the seasons 1 to 14 almost non-stop... And I'm still focused on it since November. I started to watch classic who. And I watched a few other series at the same time. I'm watching it in English, I'm French though, I just love English, I even think and speak in English without realising it.

[@purplecelery7380]

As The Spice Girls once famously sang, too much of something is bad enough. Even if it is Doctor Who!

[@khameleonstudios]

dawg I can't stay awake for that amount of time regardless ofdoing that. watching something two times in the same day or more is my own idea of hell.

[@blackcat738]

To be fair, the repeats were your own fault. You should've removed them and added a new episode. Wouldn't have fixed your sleep issues, but it's something.

[@roninc.3465]

It's hilarious watching you watch double episodes of power of the doctor, heaven sent and midnight but bless you why did you that to yourself crispy 😅

[@MyNameIsNobody.]

Wait, imagine if you put ALL episodes of nuwho(cause it's shorter and it's where i got this idea from) into a spinning wheel and watched them in a random order, this idea comes from river song so I think it would be fun for a one time thing. Of course this strategy isn't recommended to be repeated for all rewaches, and shouldn't be done for the first viewing.
