IF SHE DRAWS YOU YOU'RE GONE!!!! DOCTOR WHO FEAR HER EPISODE REACTION

[@Argrouk]

Dude, most of us allow our kids to grow up, and watching things like this is part of it. "Protecting" your kids can do more harm than good. The good Doctor has shown the wilder, wider world of the imagination to generations of British children.

[@JoeThornhill]

When I first read "The good doctor" I thought you miss typed, referring to the American medical drama with/by Freddie Highmore. You know, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, August Rush, Bates Motel.

[@livingcoffee_edits]

Doctor Who isn't classed as a kids show. It is considered a family show, something kids and adults can watch. The Sarah Jane Adventures is a kids show and Torchwood is an adult show

[@garethlowbridge2979]

Torchwood was an children's show written for adults. I enjoyed it but it was very weird. The writing was like a kids show but it had blood and a sex scene in every episode so we all knew it was for adults.

[@livingcoffee_edits]

@@garethlowbridge2979 The writing had to fit into the Doctor Who universe which meant is had to be a but kid like

[@mlee6050]

​@@garethlowbridge2979I only remember like two of spicy scenes in whole series

[@prd1073]

I'm 55 and remember Dr Who right back to Jon Pertwee. I can tell you it's always been "scary," Like many people my age, I used to watch episodes with the Daleks etc from behind the sofa/a cushion.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Alan. British kids were encouraged to expand their minds early and be tough. Think of the "Are you my mummy?" episode. Actually it is nice to know there are kids out there who are able to just be kids. I remember having to know to look for a bomb under the car and where not to go to stay away from any potential terrorist threats back in 1970s, from being small. Such as Dr Who and The Outer Limits were a brilliant escape from reality.

I found it absolutely adorable when the scribble ball turned up and you had the look of "That's my favourite Dr Who monster...EVER!" 😁 💚🐇🐴💚

[@trevorgoddard2278]

Doctor Who has been scaring children since the second story, back in 1963, but it's a lot harder to traumatize children than you might think, if they are old enough to even remember an episode by their bed-time, they know it's not real. Parents wrote lots of letters to the BBC complaining about scaring thier children, but the children had fun talking about the most recent episode or, imitating the most recent monster on the way to, during breaks at, and on the way home from school (I know I did as a 10/11 year old, at least I think I did, it's so long ago now).

[@leesanderson4694]

I honestly love watching these dude! Always check your channel for these updates 🙂

[@alisonrodger3360]

You want to check out 'Sapphire & Steel' - 'kids' programme, it was aired early evening, 7ish. I was 10/11 when it started & tried to watch it again a couple of years ago, too bloody scary. There is an upcoming episode, in series 3, that took me right back to kid me & classic Dr Who hiding behind a cushion (our sofa was up against the wall so you couldn't hide behind that😄)

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

I love sapphire and Steel I used to watch it when I was a kid.

Olympics 2012 one of the only ones to actually make a profit It was an absolute triumph of organisation and volunteers and military personnel who were praised by everyone

[@jhonpergon]

It’s very gratifying to see that you already understand the rhythm and grandeur of the scripts. And about the program being children's, I confess that I started the series discouraged knowing this. But when I saw that first episode where they subtly show that man dying with a bullet in the face in front of his own family, I couldn't believe it. I realized that they really go to the limit of what can be shown. And even without ever showing blood, we feel the lurking death and all the fatality of it and all the other difficult themes. I look forward to the next episodes, peace!

[@novawolf_gaming]

It's actually a family show Sarah Jane Adventures is the Kids Show

[@space1999]

Filler episode with 2 x great ones to come...!!

[@sallyatticum]

This episode is reminiscent of a 1980s movie called Paperhouse, where a girl would draw pictures and put herself into the drawings.

[@eldoofthe3rd]

I love how psychological doctor who can get reminds me of the old school scary movies... Hope your doing well Alan boss

[@taniaPBear]

The reboot series was never meant to be a kids show, the only people who would say that, have never seen it. The old series were aimed at 'tweens', but the new ones were always an adult show. Anyway, loving your reactions, love hearing your thoughts, thanks EB. ❤

[@AzulinhoAzulinho]

Na mate, a family show. Remind yourself of the day, time and channel of broadcast!!! 7pm on a Saturday 🤣🤣

[@jhonpergon]

It was never a reboot. It's a continuation, and the specials and references throughout the series make that clear. There's even an episode of this new-who where his granddaughter's photo (in black and white) appears on his office desk.

[@taniaPBear]

@@jhonpergonIt's not that important to me and I think people will know what I meant, but I apologise for the semantical error. I hope it hasn't upset you so much that you can't get over it. 😟

[@taniaPBear]

@@AzulinhoAzulinho I didn't mean it was 'R' rated or anything, just that it is not aimed at children, I should have written 'kid's show' like this I guess, obviously anyone can watch it.

[@philjones45]

It''s a kids show. The end. Ask the writers and show runners.

[@andrewcoates6641]

I was literally born in the 60s and even back then there were episodes of Dr Who that scared people of all ages silly. My earliest memories of DW are of the second generation of the Dr(Patrick Troughton) although my older sister tells me that I watched the programme from the very beginning and the earliest monsters that used to scare me into hiding behind the furniture were the YETIS or Abominable Snowmen, because to my infant mind aliens or creatures from other planets or robots, were all just invented for the story and cavemen or Aztec warriors were a part of history, but Yetis had been a part of folklore that some people claimed to have seen but there was no proof of existence and to me that made it possible that they did exist and could appear on the television in a show or maybe even on the news.

[@huwford2731]

That was filmed in my friend's street, one scene was on his front garden in Cardiff

[@JoeThornhill]

13:24 Yeah, just wait for Blink, but you probably already knew that.

[@DecayPlaysTv]

totally agree with @taniaPBear, When the original series released it was for kids, but the reboot was far more encompassing, the story lines are fascinating, it amazes me how they continue to come up with them and very rarely ever cover the same ground again. Cant wait for you to get to "Dont Blink" but thats quite a bit in your future.

[@balloon7676]

My daughter is drawing a cool dude with a cap and a long beard.. She's just finishing off the headphones, oh.. it's you! Where you gone.. 😂 I love your reaction, it is bit scary for kids tho, that's why it should be watched with an adult, I remember being terrified watching doctor who when it was played by Tom baker, still in my memory now.. Lots more shows to watch 😁

[@TheEclecticBeard]

Cool dude with a beard and headphones? Can't be me, I'm kind of lame, or so my kids tell me lol

[@philjones45]

My daughter was encouraged to watch anything and everything. She always self censored. America, the land of the free, believe in censorship, the land where people wander around with guns, sometimes shooting children. I really don't want British kids growing up with these American sensibilities. Thank god for British TV, where often conflicts and drama aren't solved by the gun. Imagine, a whole series, where the hero is anti guns and violence. Doctor Who PERFECT FOR children.

[@stevehartley7504]

It's a family show anyone can watch it.Thats the beauty of it. You have to allow kids to learn and experience fear and joy This is one way! Let your kids watch it. You could watch it with them! See how they deal with the concepts?

[@space1999]

It's not a kids show, it's a family show... it was designed to fit in in 60s at tea time (between 5 and 6pm usually) just after all the sports shows and before the more prime time stuff... it was meant to keep the adults watching and bring in the kids too...

[@LordMorbannaon]

Have there been any more Doctor Who reacts since this? Three months is a long gap...

[@nicoladolby2154]

If you think this series is scary, you’re going to have great fun with the next one.

[@novawolf_gaming]

I thought about every story cuz I was confused but Blink man... forgot that was Series 3 briefly

[@stevehartley7504]

The Dr won't kill anything unless he has to. If he understands why a creature is doing something and the reason. He will try to help he creature too!!

[@CheesyukHB]

Great reaction 💯👍looking forward too the next two episodes 😁😁

[@redswetter]

I remember Death Note. Have not seen the anime, but watched the live version ages ago with the kid from Battle Royale.

[@sp72929]

Absolutely everything is possible in DW - there's not really anything you can compare this show to - it is in the "box" sci-fi and it kind of is and is not as well somehow. It is futuristic and historical and actual, philosophical and emotional, sad and funny, heartbreaking and ridiculous, and completely crazy sometimes and if you think about it, it is absolutely bonkers to mix all this together because how could something so completely chaotic work... but... man does it work!

[@ruarihutchison6341]

Ah, Fear Her... this episode wasn't originally intended to be used in Series 2. The originally planned episode, written by Stephen Fry, would have been too expensive to make. But an interesting fact is that the episode writer, Matthew Graham, also co-created Life on Mars for the BBC whose protagonist, Sam Tyler, was named after Rose.

[@frufruJ]

And Sam Tyler is played by... an actor who appears in Season 3 of DW. There were more coincidences regarding the timelines of the two shows, but I don't remember them any more. I've read a fanfic in which Sam Tyler was unknowingly that character from Doctor Who, even insinuated that he might be related to Rose because the years kinda match. It was fun. Life on Mars is great.

[@sallyatticum]

@@frufruJ Chris Chibnall wrote some episodes of Life On Mars.

[@alexanderbeta-werburghii6176]

Thanks for another great reaction and analysis.

[@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq]

I might just have to reevaluate this episode. I really enjoyed watching you enjoy this. Next couple of episodes are, to coin a phrase, mad as a box of frogs. Though things get borderline epically daft in the second episode once the *e*e*i* a** is activated. The first episode has a killer cliffhanger that surprisingly was spoilered by the press back in 2006.

[@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq]

* Was not spoilered by the press in 2006.

[@josiebridle1947]

If you think this show is for adults, wait until you start watching Torchwood. That is definitely not for children.

[@annieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

I think things like doctor who confidential helped kids understand it wasnt real

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

I'm not sure why fans don't like this one , it's an interesting concept with a mystery to be solved , maybe a bit cheesy in places and it was made well before the Olympics so a lot of details are wrong . Your reactions are always interesting , the new Dr Who was in the traditional Saturday evening slot , about 6pm before the entertainment shows and has always been family viewing . Realising some episodes weren't suitable for very young kids the Sarah Jane Adventures began on the Children's BBC channel ( shame we lost School Reunion ) . I don't think Fear her is one of the best but it's ok. You might like to check out some of the 80/ 90s Public information film compilations some of which were aimed at children .

[@scouseofhorror104]

I remember the public information films 😩 They need to bring them back to terrify modern kids into not being so green around the ears. Imagine one now for not swimming in reservoirs every time there's a heatwave? Lives would be saved!

[@grahamsangster1042]

Doctor who then merlin from about 5:30pm to 7pm on a Saturday back in the day for the family viewing haha,if there was a not so good Doctor on then you could wait for a good merlin haha

[@seancorker5815]

I’m wondering if there is degree of hindsight going on? We all know that peak Dr. Who is still to come (in terms of EB’s reactions) but at the time, this genuinely great and unique TV.

[@jennifermorris6848]

I liked this one. Some didn’t. But like many episodes key through dialogue tip to bigger things to come. This is something the series does regularly. And in the days to come remember the closing dialogue.

As a 80s kid i love this stuff , i would let my kids watch this without a doubt . I grew up with chucky , pinhead , jason , freddy , alien , .. and the rest , it sparks imagination . I think u eather like it or hate it , as a child i think is the best time for this kinda program in a way , ur un censored an can make a choice . Like or dislike ... Sorry to rant i know u was only commenting on a scene of an episode ..

[@MegaWizeguy]

I have to give an example to follow up , my 10 year old daughter hates my Chucky doll lol absolutely hates it . She never seen the film's lol , but my 8 year old loves it and always asks can she show her friends , obviously I don't let her as it' would be considered weird (not to me but to others) (plus it's an 80 original) lol , tho it goes to show how ppl are different from a very young age

[@charliehill5225]

Never getting more doctor who then? Interested as to why as he seemed to enjoy it

Oh wow only 11 min ago. But on to fear her, this is a commonly disliked episode and honestly I don’t know why, I absolutely love this story, i think the acting is great, the kid is actually quite compelling with the fear for her dad, lovely fun episode that is full of 2000s nostalgia for me. I get compared to other episodes with dr who its not the best but it gets far too much hate.

[@scottneil1187]

It absolutely is fine for kids, everyone really needs to stop being so precious about their children, we're creating a generation of weak willed little spoilt brats, the world is a harsh place and shielding them from every little thing is beyond unhealthy. Personally I was never scared of Dr Who as a kid but I was watching stuff like Evil Dead and Alien as a little kid, not saying that's for everyone but it did me no harm afaik.

[@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq]

Possibly the vety shitiest post 2005 relaunch episode of DW. I try rewatching it on DVD every 2 or 3 years and can never finish it. Actually series 2 is probably the weakest of all "New Who" series until Jodie's first season which my entire family stopped watching about half way through the "ain't racism bad, eh evil white people?" episode Rosa. With a couple of exceptions we haven't watched a new episode since.

[@garethcain6855]

hello, I think Dr Who (pre Jokey (Jodie)) makes kids a bit more psychologically stronger and feeds their imagination, however, that is all being undone by what kids are taught in schools nowadays

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Not one of my favourite episodes along with the previous one "Love & Monsters" this was just filler but atleast your past those now the next ones are going to be brilliant.
