Pearl Mackie & Steven Moffat | Doctor Who: The Fan Show

[@DoctorWho]

What did you think of Bill's first episode, The Pilot? Let us know in the comments below! 💙💙

[@beazles4007]

It was excellent! and the entire series looks incredible I cant wait

[@cinnamisa]

IT WAS PERFECT

[@Janparseq]

We're off to a good start

[@zelt36]

Doctor Who honestly i love bill but i still can't think about anything else than that picture of river

[@SuperGamingpepper]

It was fantastic

[@marcnitzsche]

The lava lamp is amazing.

[@philaeew4866]

Damn you for bringing that to my attention. Now I can't focus on anything else, either!

[@DWTheFanShow]

We will have a pre-order link very soon for all of the MANY fans of the lava lamp! 😍

[@biggerontheinside5566]

I couldn’t take my eyes if it I NEED IT!

[@jerryto803]

The bit where Bill said "Imagine someone doing this to you" which made the Doctor stop wiping her mind reminded me so much of Donna. It literally broke me.

[@reddeadgaz]

Jerry To And because he had his own memory wiped when he forgot about Clara.

[@iz723]

I don't think he remembered that though

[@alligatoruk]

I think he did - he knows Clara existed, he just doesn't remember the details about her. Plus, they played Clara's theme in that scene, so it was definitely more about Clara than Donna.

[@BlueSparxLPs]

I Z, in the written script for Hell Bent, it explicitly mentions that the Doctor remembers who Clara is when he sees the mural of her on the TARDIS. We were supposed to get that from his expression upon seeing it, but I suppose that was lost on most viewers.

[@benjiboodleoo]

Blue Sparx I think the idea is that he knows what she looks like now and he pieced together a few of there adventures yet he will never remember her in them

[@thedvdreviewnerdchannel4859]

What an awesome episode of Doctor who season 10

[@lewisheath2964]

The Master got me so hyped!!

[@YipYap420]

Lewis Heath ikr

[@benoitassouekotto_7387]

FloorKarpeting the coming soon trailer.

[@imakevideossometimes9144]

The Pilot was amazing. My siblings got terrified when ever Heather screamed lol 😂

[@DoctorWho]

Hope they managed to hide behind the sofa! 💙💙

[@nicoletarallo6430]

Doctor Who my mum jumped all tje time she was do scared I could not stop laughing

[@TimeladyV]

i just love Steven Moffat, he's such a dedicated fan that he has taken the show to a whole new level. He will be really missed 😕

[@angrya4pacific738]

I just watched the pilot it was so awesome

[@attack_panic6992]

Angry A4 Gamer and Vlogs ikr

[@BradDutton130]

alfie Stapleton me three it was scary and awesome

[@Surfboarder4]

Angry A4 Gamer and Vlogs yup.

[@godduck701]

Anyone else get a vibe from the "water on Mars" episode?

[@murphygerber5389]

yes, also Midnight vibes

[@finnpeters7867]

Cap yes I guess she was repeating Bill

[@tobyfrance7520]

The water creature was a combination of the flood, the midnight entity and the ghosts from series 9.

[@DasPuppy]

LOOOOOOOVED it! That was the doctor I soo missed!! I missed him for being away so long, and I missed him for being happy to show all of the universe to an excited Bill!!

[@Jayjee762]

That TARDIS console lava lamp is amazing!

[@etashamhussain6492]

What a brilliant aftershow! Great presenter, and I'm so glad we have something to fill the void that DW Confidential left us.

[@kepaloha]

Just watched it here in the US and loved it. I think Pearl Mackie was fantastic in this episode. Good Job, keep up the great work.

[@thearchive1132]

Really loved this episode the show looks so shiny and new :)

[@alicecarterillustration5935]

Feeling very privileged to have my animation showcased in this week's episode of the fan show! ☺️

[@nickbastion]

Am I the only one who thinks this channel should post full episodes? This is the OFFICIAL Doctor Who channel. They can't get copyright strikes from themselves.

[@callumread5973]

absolutely loved the episode. one of the best opening episodes ever, in my opinion. Bill surpassed my wildest expectations. She's just the right mix of inquisitive and funny and asks all the right questions but in ways we haven't seen before. Can't wait to see more of her! Also, loved the Fan Show discussion! gonna look forward to it every week! really interesting to gather some behind-the-scenes knowledge. I need the lava lamp and the promo poster!

[@doyoulikegrapes360]

I have never commented on a Doctor Who video, but that was phenomenal. I am in utter shock, Capaldi, Bill and Nardole have the best chemistry and it was full of shocks and I love it!

[@Kytori95]

All I've taken from this so far is I want a TARDIS console lava lamp!!

[@corncob2183]

Well done Mr Moffat another brilliant episode keep up the good work and good luck on your future endeavours

[@Rockaria23]

When an episode of Doctor Who makes you cry, you know it was fantastically brilliant.

[@chas2go]

Excellent! Good to have the Doctor back. It has been too long. Pearl Mackie is great!

[@astraspect9307]

I can tell this series is going to be the gift that keeps on giving

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

There was proper jump scares lol, it got me really well and was off guard! Great episode and I want more! It's the beginning of the end!

[@siancoules6949]

I'll admit that The Pilot may have made me cry... Just maybe. I've been waiting for this so long, and it's so truly amazing to start yet another new adventure in the TARDIS. Here's to many more!

[@FlourishPorridge]

Origin of the Nardole hair lore.

[@fervantfox0351]

I enjoyed this episode and it looks like a sign of good things to come. It serves as a excellent introduction into to Doctor who but it also had references which long term fans would understand.

[@_evanwalsh_]

Am I the only one who noticed Clara's theme playing while Bill was telling the Doctor about the memory wipe?!?! I really hope the Doctor remembers her and she can come back to comfort the Doctor as he regenerates... PLEASE MOFFAT!!!

[@francisbarraclough959]

Chibi Who NO

[@1welshdevil]

That episode was utter class, loved it, well done team xx

[@bowtieanimation]

My twin brothers, Leo and Oliver, celebrated their ninth birthday today - and this was a lovely present from Doctor Who to them. One of them, Oliver, who is really into the show and particularly loves Colin Baker and Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, went to check the bath was fully run out after the episode, in case any monsters came up through the drains...Pearl was ace as Bill, the character is developing nicely and Peter Capaldi utterly embodies the Doctor, he's such a wonderful ambassador for the childhood hero that he grew up loving for fifty years and then became, there's surely no finer success story than that. The Pilot seems to have gone down really well indeed.

[@DaDC709]

IT WAS SO GOOD THERE WAS ALSO A CLARA REFERENCE!!!

[@tyrone1796]

DaDC709 where

[@Cowmoo83]

Clara's theme was played while Bill as trying to explain to the Doctor who it feels like to have your memory wiped.

[@DaDC709]

Cowmoo83 yeah maybe Clara and game of thrones person will come back???

[@Futures_End]

Hopefully they don't

[@obain24]

DaDC709 Yeah, i cried at this moment. ;-;

[@Divizoro]

"One day I'll learn how to do this show" - Steven Moffat 2017. As for the episode, I loved it! Can't wait for the rest of the series and for Capaldi to go out with a bang!

[@MillieGoode]

i honestly think i broke myself from screaming about how much i loved the episode BILL IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL

[@KimJansenn]

I FREAKING LOVED THE EPISODE

[@ryanbelcher25rb]

John Simms and Michelle Gomez together?! This is going to be a good episode

[@CybermanBill]

ryanbelcher25rb Correction....... It's going to be a GREAT episode!!!

[@BritishRedCoat2025]

Honestly, brilliant. Well done all, especially Pearl, for making me instantly care about Bill. Well done Steven, for an excellent episode. Thought you were going Waters of Mars for a bit. Really looking forward to seeing the traces of my childhood's Doctors, and running with you all this season.

[@iandoyle452]

Great episode, the story and new characters were great and Capladi as the Dr! Awesome as always

[@henrydodshon9274]

This episode feels less like a single story and more like a chapter which is great

[@whovianproductions4891]

The episode was awesome!

[@tobin5378]

This is going to be the best week ever! I get to re-watch "the pilot" at least once a day until Saturday

[@jennyms1998]

aaw my gosh Pearl is so awesome, I can't wait to see where her character is going! and Steven is just so adorable, I worship that man! this season will be the fandom's big regenaration

[@MonoLith2049]

Yes Dr Who is back! Loved the episode! And really enjoyed this extra bit.

[@allistair61]

I love the expression on bill's face as she realises what she seen in the consul room

[@Bob-qm4mv]

That episode was amazing, jumped about 3 times with the jump scares 😂

[@Whydidmyhandlechange414]

I loved the video of them making impressions of the Day of the Doctor scene! Their voices were practically spot on!

[@sky0799]

this was such a good episode loved it so much can't wait till the next

[@CaptainKatarina]

I loved this episode. Especially when the doctor said 'Never underestimate a crush.' how very true. I've seen my friends do everything to be around their crush, so no doubt they would travel through time and space just to keep a promise and be with them.

[@CdnBlt]

The interview was fantastic from beginning to end plus the bonus footage of all fan media in all its art forms the video art of Peter Capaldi was terrific especially him in the opening credits from Doctor Who (1973) cannot wait for it to be on DVD because Series 10 looks to be epic :D

[@SeptexGaming]

That was an incredible episode!! I can't wait till next week!!

[@bubblegum8047]

who else litruly shouted at the TV when Bill wanted to join her crush. I was like, "noooo!!!!! don't do it. BILL IMMA WARNING YOU NOW!!!!!" Such an amazing episode by the way. I've fallen In love with nardole and his one liners!!

[@jacobwheeler1348]

Time Lord eyebrows are not hair. Best piece of canon ever

[@guyakerstimelord]

this episode was outstanding. I knew the pilot was going to be good but i had no idea how good it would be

[@Rhysmk24]

I love Bill, she's definitely what the show needed! Loved the episode!

[@obain24]

This episode is amazing! I love it! I already love Bill and her character. And the music. Oh, the music is so great! I love everything in this episode and I'm excited for the other episodes in series 10!

[@MeBeMat]

I love Steven Moffat, "All the weird obsessive - of which I am one - can sleep at night now we've fit that scene in!"

[@JohnSmith-gj9hk]

Super excited!!

[@VinylCollectorJames]

The Pilot was so cool. Really felt like a soft reboot of the series. Bill was delightful and touching at times. Nardole is fun comic relief. Was scary at times, and Daleks! Peter is amazing as always, overall one of the best series premieres to date. Well done, and sets up a very exciting season.

[@ItsAce44]

Loving the new show format, and the tardis blue shirt...nice touch

My heart could't bear the awesomeness of that new episode... I LOVED IT

[@danieldavis9722]

I loved the episode!! It was funny, scary, emotional, intelligent and more! This showed me how much I'll miss Peter Capaldi. Also, I thought Pearl was excellent, Bill seems such a down to earth character (even if she isn't on earth)! Plus Matt Lucas had me in stitches throughout. And seeing the snippet of John Simm at the end got me so hyped! I hope the whole series continues like this. It'll mean Capaldi and Moffatt can go out with a bang which is what they deserve. Long may this continue because I love this show so so much! Keep it up!

[@vultan2000]

Great episode with some great character moments by accomplished actors. I really liked the tardis intro, with the sense of awe and wonder brought back. I thought Peter Capaldi was much better in the quieter moments than the more bombastic episodes of previous series. I'm guessing it will unfortunately be less character driven in subsequent eps, but I'm crossing my fingers.

[@sarahocallaghan8935]

Steven moffatt has done it again. It was fantastic and very very funny. I think im going to love the companion due to the hilarious lines she has been given. Oh and the doctor was wonderful as always 😉It has definitely been worth the wait 😊

[@lady_tivona]

OK, I need to ask about the lava lamp in the background....I need it....LOL LOL

[@Meow-z5d9c]

Oh wow... I.. Am speechless after watching The Pilot. Pearl Mackie is such a great actress!! The Doctor was amazing in this episode and so was nardole!! And OH MY GOD JOHN SIMM IN THE NEXT TIME TRAILERRRR!!!

[@Blubatt]

I quite enjoyed it. Back to basics, no overly complicated story arc, and a companion I actually quite like. Bill is shaping up as someone who is a bit more relatable compared to Clara or Amy, and I am quite happy. It was a nice straightforward story, and it had some genuinely creepy moments. Bill is great, good job, Pearl Mackie, you hit it right off the bat.

[@Fitzroyfallz]

How do we get that lava lamp?! LOVED the episode by the way! The characters were awesome, I thought Bill and Heather's relationship was really touching, the music was excellent, the hair was excellent, the cgi was excellent, the humour was excellent! I really enjoyed Bill's introduction to the TARDIS, both humorous and magical, and really stood out from the crowd.

[@Surfboarder4]

I liked how there were photos of River and Susan on the Doctor's desk.

[@AnaiBendai]

Loved the new show from South Dakota, USA!

[@allistair61]

I love Bill's reaction as she turns to see the consul room

[@forabug594]

Thought this was a great new introduction style for a wonderful character! I loved Bill a lot more then I expected!

[@rami_ungar_writer]

What I love most is how naturally Bill's sexuality is treated. A lot of shows and movies, they have to make a big deal about someone's sexuality (ex. Glee) or it's very understated (Power Rangers or Beauty and the Beast). Here, it's shown in an obvious way, but it's not treated as such a big deal. It's just a part of her, like her hair or her height. As a writer, a Whovian, and a bisexual man, I absolutely love that.

[@keythetrashking7491]

Rami Ungar honestly I really hope Bill teaches that point where she's comfortable enough with Nard and The Doctor to make casual references to her sexuality. "You have to stand straight!" "Kinda impossible when I'm not"

[@5amgarden]

Rami Ungar why do they have to put sex in every show. isn't this show suppose to be kid friendly?

[@enigmatickendo]

They haven't put sex in it. They've put love in it. Love between two women is no more sexual than love between two men. Or did you not see the 50 odd upskirt scenes in 70's Doctor Who? THAT is making a show unnecessarily sexed up. Not having two girls love each other,

[@wlwcats5810]

sam webb take straight people away from every tv show and movie and then we can talk.

[@memmustafa18]

I absolutely love Bill, best companion since Donna!!! Pearl Mackie blew my mind!!

[@3rdman4th]

Loved it. Great pilot. loved Bill. Really exited about this series

[@rachelflanagan1977]

I missed the first episode being aired but I've just watched it on iPlayer and I absolutely loved it. Nardole is going to end up one of my favourite characters by the end of the series and bill was a breath of fresh air as a new companion. I absolutely loved her and the dynamic she brings to the show. She's so new and quirky and, as demonstrated in the episode, not afraid to stand up for herself. Nardole was hilarious and after the Christmas episode last year I was wondering how he was still alive after the husbands of river song but that was cleared up at the beginning of this episode. All in all loved the episode.

[@gazzaboy1689]

Loved this episode of doctor who

[@whovisionsCGI]

Fantastic start to series 10...Well done all involved and roll on next week! :)

[@SpyroLazerPotion]

Just from The Pilot you can tell that Series 10 is going to be SO EPIC!!!!!

[@MrDknuckle]

to quote a previous incarnation "FANTASTIC !!"

[@nicoletarallo6430]

What a great episode!! My mum could not screaming her head off it was hilarious!!!!!

[@jessica-mh3os]

Running away from a puddle is one way to put it.

[@DoctorRedivivus]

Pearl was brilliant as indeed were Peter and Matt. A great start to the series.

[@Gabsagainstgod]

Just finished watching the episode, I really enjoyed it! There were some stupid things in the plot, but still liked it. Can't wait for ep 2 next week!

[@bazinga743]

Gabriele Savoldelli Don't you mean stupid things in the Pott get it because Bill Potts

[@Gabsagainstgod]

Benovix The Epic Gamer why didn't I think of that!? XD

[@shakes1026]

I need that lava lamp and that poster of Bill and the doctor in the TARDIS, they're so cool

[@MAKEMEA]

Awesome episode the sad ones are always good (lump in the throat) Awwrrr😢 the doctor went back in time to get Bill some photographs of her mum because she couldn't remember her and didn't have any (that's why bill saw him in the mirror, taking the photo of her mum)

[@wellingtonsmith4998]

Massive fan, thanks so much. I love Bill, I wish she fancied blokes as well.... but that's just me dreaming. Love the new series stories, 2 as of now. it's so fresh and fun, god's listen to me rambling. so happy

[@paulonius42]

I love love love love Bill! Welcome to the world of Who, Pearl! You are AWESOME and such a charming addition to the show! :) :) :) :)

[@mlittleds9]

wow, i'm impressed excellent start to the new series, it was so funny... shame it was only 50 minutes!

[@abyssoftus]

Incredible first episode, Love ya Bill (Pearl Mackie)

[@plauditecives]

Steven Moffat's voice is so reminiscent of Gordon Jackson's. Oh, and have loved the first and second episodes.

[@Themi.]

I think this episode was fantastic! And you know what? So will this season!

[@HT-lr1rs]

I loved when bill said its bigger on the inside and how the Doctor and Nardole reacted

[@Ceelea1]

Favorite line: It's like a kitchen. Favorite memory: Pictures of River Song and Susan Foreman on his desk.

[@alexlivathinos9870]

I have to say I 💘 pearl mackie as Bill right from the start

[@redcowcat8705]

yep you right moffat. the conversations are much more interestinger than the explosions.

[@007robotchicken]

After all these years, I finally found out why Matt Smith spit on the Tardis console in End of Time Part 2.

[@tobyfrance7520]

`Pearl Mackie is such a great actress, Bill is probably my favourite Moffat companion

[@chromaspark1257]

Title is missing the exclamation mark

[@iz723]

Yep!

[@batesyboy97]

Love the Lava Lamp in the background!!

[@jedirulz123]

He spent 900 years on Trenzalore, he's not that unreliable. And I love that TARDIS lava lamp, I want one!

[@spaceBUZZlite]

Quickest 50 minutes EVER!! Loved every second and was so sad when it ended, i just wanted more!!! welcome back Doctor Who
