[@wolfwarrior9451]

@lesterbottomley7641 I was fairly young when I first saw both of the episodes, so all the makeup was enough to make me think it was two entirely different people.

[@Adzeenikith]

"That's what they called them last time" actually a bone chilling line added by the man himself Bernard Cribbins

[@robvanriot]

The way Bernard Cribbins delivers the line about labour camps shatters my heart. The way the Doctor just KNOWS it's Rose from the moment he hears "blonde" is played perfectly by Tennant. This is one of my all-time favourite episodes.

[@BrightNeonBrilliancy]

The moment between the doctor and donna when he's slowly realizing she's talking about Rose always gives me the chills. The slow realisation and desperation that comes onto David's face is just amazing. And then the 'Bad Wolf' at the end is just *chef's kiss*

[@medafan53]

A clever little bit of continuity in this episode, the scene of the Tank shooting down the Web star doesn't have the radio broadcast establishing that Mr Saxon ordered it shot down, because with the Doctor dead, Professor Yana never opened his pocket watch, and even if he did, he has no way of escaping the end of the universe.

That look on wilf's face, rest in peace Bernard

[@chanceneck8072]

Ok, there is one thing that's always infuriated me, and I know, I'm probably VERY alone with this issue. But maybe someone could help me finally clear this up once and for all: 14:01 This is the way, I've always known how to salute someone... Why does Wilf ALWAYS salute differently? 😡😡😫😫 It looks SO DUMB with the palm forwards. The other person is SHOWING you, how to do it. It's like a response. So, why can't he just salute back normally? Equally? What the heck is going on there? 😅 Excuse me for maybe being ignorant or for sucking at history. Sometimes I'm ocd with these things. But because Wilf ALWAYS did this, it started to infuriate me at some point.....

[@tempusspiritus]

Actually in Voyage of the Damned the Doctor said the “Titanic” crashing would wipe out all life on Earth, due to its nuclear drive, so they scaled the damage way down in this episode.

[@medafan53]

It's possible the Doctor was wrong in the original episode.

[@LilacLily17]

Yeah that was one of the only things that annoyed me about this episode. That and in the Voyage of the Damned everyone except wilf and the queen left London for the holidays, so in theory no one who lived in London except the queen wouldve really died during the crash anyway if the entire world didn’t get wiped out

[@wizardcat5220]

Someone in the ship probably just shut down the reactor. Several thousand tons impacting at orbital velocity is still enough to wipe out a city even without nuclear aid. So that would explain why only London was destroyed.

[@trinitybernhardt9944]

​@@LilacLily17they needed to relocate 7 million people and today there are less than 9 million in London, so seems like that was accounted for. I am sure the only two people stayed was hyperbole, but traveling isn't an option for everyone, even if scared. It was a good point, and I am glad I looked it up, because it shows they paid attention. Less than 2 million people were in the city. It would feel empty.

[@mattperiolat]

“And you, woman of London… you’ve got something on your back!” So, this episode asks one big question - what would happen if It’s a Wonderful Life and Doctor Who had a baby. It’s fantastic and a tour de force acting job by Catherine Tate. It’s also absolutely chilling with how DARK it gets and how the universe seems to be targeting not just The Doctor but anyone he was connected to. Really fantastic. Unless you hate spiders. Then you’re in trouble.

[@ethanburke1635]

If the Doctor died in The Runaway Bride, Martha wouldn’t have been there to convince Professor Yana to open the fob watch. Hence the Master never returned and Harold Saxon never existed.

[@schauseil187]

that is not necessarily correct. Another person could have encouraged him to do so at a later date. Or maybe he would have died and regenerated (he was already older in the Yana form). Then his psychological barrier would certainly no longer have held up.

[@shadowthecatukVODS]

@@schauseil187 If he never opened the Fob Watch, he would never have regenerated. The Doctor says it rewrites biological code, becoming human, it disables the 2nd heart, and disables regeneration. Which is confirmed in Family of Blood where his watch showed John Smith what his life will be if he remained human, and he died a natural human death without regenerating. If Professor Yana never opened the watch, he would probably have died on the planet.

[@johnmcclure40]

@@schauseil187 His biology wasn't Time Lord at that point. It was human. He couldn't have regenerated. Plus, even if he did open the watch and become the Master again, he probably would have been stuck at the end of the universe.

[@SmeadsUK]

I remember at the time there was a lot of talk about how Rose’s speech and mouth had changed in this episode. Billie Piper had just had new dental veneers fitted and they gave her a lisping dialogue and her teeth seemed too big. When she says the line, “It’s a Time Machine” you notice it.

[@sallyatticum]

I assumed she was wearing invisible braces. When I met Catherine Tate she was wearing some.

[@BritanyBinges]

I did think she looked a little different in this.

[@patricklatham3897]

To explain the people seeing the thing on Donna's back, it's psychic stuff: some people have a bit of psychic capability that allows then to see what others can't. Or time travelers.

[@schauseil187]

The doctor's companions are constantly being parapsychically fed information from the Tardis (so that they can understand every language). I could imagine that over time this would also increase your psionic sensitivity. In addition, the birth of River Song showed that traveling in the Tardis even has an effect on your genetic makeup.

[@medafan53]

It's possible that the Time Beetle's presence gets more overt when major events that it's meddling impacted occured.

[@PowerSpirit50]

I wonder if that woman on the bus would have been able to see it fully.

[@mackenziejohnson5200]

I forgot that Rose didn't show up in the cold open so yes the opening would have spoiled that she was showing up -- very clever and successful strategy you had there, and it's funny that when it finally happens is the time when you questioned whether that would actually happen

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

Titanic had nuclear fusion engine. So it would be like droping nuke on london. Si-fi high power nuke.

The engine wouldn't even have to explode if it came in at orbital velocity. If the crash didn't cause an engine meltdown (and if it's fusion it probably wouldn't) several thousand tons impacting at orbital velocity would produce energy on par with our largest nukes.

The entire back half of season 4 is perfect. I know there are folks who don't love the finale but I never got that. It's really fun and the stakes being as high as they are still feel personal because of their direct ties to each of the Doctor's friends. Season 4 is one of the all-time bests.

[@mrbrit1218]

I love this episode so much. With Rose appearing and it getting darker and more depressing as it goes on leading Donna to the point of hopelessness and then that final reveal right at the end.

[@rhyssuxx]

This’ll always be my favourite ever episode of doctor who. So different to a normal episode, a rare look into a world without the doctor & Donna realising just how important she really is, and such great build up to the finale. Cannot be beaten in my opinion!

[@Jantzku]

The Titanic was powered by nuclear storm drive. Very possible to destroy the whole city.

[@alexbennett7018]

In Voyage of the Damned they said it would destroy the entire planet. Presumably someone probably Midshipman Frame found a wat to reduce the damage.

[@WaIkers]

If you want the Rose spin-off, look up Big Finish, and look up Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon, it's a full cast audio drama with all the original actors about how Rose found her way back

[@MarkWardReacts]

This is right up there as one of my top episodes of all time.

[@bonniekeyworth3123]

The torch wood episodes will make the next part much more important.

[@cardsfanboy]

I'm watching you watch this, and seeing how depressing things are without the doctor, it's really a secondary point of this episode, the primary point is to establish that Donna is important, but secondly, it points out how much of a difference the doctor makes. We get that he saves the planet/universe or whatever in various stories, but seeing the actual results if he fails cements the importance of his actions (and the fact that the the people he had contact with, were the only ones that were able to stop the other stuff without him, is also significant) It's a doctor light episode, but like most of them, the doctor is of course a major presence in them.

[@Tejiknasten]

One of my favourite episodes, so sad and emotional. Really great acting skills from Catherine Tate, one can feel her turmoil, constantly thinking she's not important. A very good reaction. Thanks for a very nice channel.

Well, for there to have been a Saxon, the Doctor would have needed to survive his fight with the Racnoss so he could eventually go to the furthest future to meet Professor Yana, sooo...

[@jdeang3531]

Harriet Jones would still be prime minister.

[@patricklatham3897]

@@jdeang3531 She would have been deposed either way. Remember, she was ousted via the Doctor BEFORE he even met Donna. And this is the Christmas after the Sycorax one. The proof is the radio transmission to the tank troupes positioned to take on the web star. The radio message said "Orders from Mr. Saxon: FIRE!" Saxon just wouldn't have existed in the first place to even be her replacement had the Doctor not survived the Racnoss in order to meet Yana.

[@elliottnoad1270]

9:07 tbf Voyage Of The Damned said itd wipe out the whole planet, then here its just the South of England (like still a major disaster but does mean the Doctor was exaggerating), so its possible Big Finish did a series of Rose being with the Torchwood of Pete's World getting the ability to & exploring the multiverse, even meeting a Clive (the guy in the shed with all the info on the Doctor in S1) who was still alive in one universe & he went on to join the Torchwood team as the control (overseer of the multiverse travelling)

[@j.m.marshall669]

I always think in this episode, that London despite being destroyed would have been empty like it was when we first met Wilfred in Voyage of the Damned, everyone scarpered, and in this timeline that was a very good idea.

[@ThetaSigma-vu1sk]

There are a couple of plotholes to be honest. In Voyage of the Damned, it's said the Titanic's engines will destroy all of Earth, but here it only destroyed London. And the Carrionites from Shakespeare Code, they were going to destroy Earth and would have if the Doctor wasn't there. But Earth is fine. So what happened? And also, if the Doctor hadn't met Donna, why would he be involved in the Racnoss? Donna appearing on the TARDIS is the only reason he discovers it.

9:10 If it came in at orbital velocity it probably would. Given its a space ship it can probably handle re-entry so it would hit the planet with most of its mass intact. The OG titanic weighed over 50,000 tons coming in at orbital velocity, that's like 2*10^16 Jules. Thats more than a 1000 times the energy of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and in the ballpark of the Tsar Bomb the most powerful nuclear device we ever made. Of course we don't know the exact weight or speed of the space titanic but it was probably enough to take out London and most of the surrounding area if it hit.

Make sense they do heap a lot on. They want a conflict and to keep upping the stakes and they can too far at times. But I think it makes sense of well if he doesn't save it who does. Torchwood, someone else. Events that just happen. And other changes happen. The tone is dark while not being graphic of course for fair reasons as a family show. Or what events happen. I would say oh the doctor doesn't have to save everything but I mean hmm I guess in certain earth events many of them would turn out that way I guess..... Not sure. I do agree Rose is a bit different but I guess because of time since Series 2 and 4 she changed due to what happens in her world, or it's been time seen acting for this role so it comes across different.

Answer to what question? lol

[@Great_Olaf5]

10:02 Think of it this way, almost a fifth of the UK's pop-ups lives in London, which also means something approximatiolng that much of its housing. And it sounds like most of southeastern England has been displaced, which is where the majority of their population is. America doesn't have that much of a population concentration, and 7 million people being forced to relocate at once would overwhelm us. Canada... I'm not as familiar with Canada's situation, but I suspect it's closer to Britain's as regards concentration. On the other hand, I suspect the US would be more willing to take on a bunch of displaced Canadians than France would be too take on a bunch of displaced Brits. 13:00 Nope, remember that he only got to earth because the Doctor and Martha found him at the end of the universe. Doctor was already dead before that happened in this timeline, and Martha for that matter. No one to wake the Master up. No way back in time if he woke up on his own.

This will come up as somewhat controversial this was my least favourite episode only because it didn't feature much of the Doctor in it there's alot of fans who don't mind it but for me personally i prefer it when the Doctor is there because it feels like I'm watching a different show when he's not but I understand Tennant wasn't available during filming it's one of those episodes I don't often look back on. I wasn't the biggest Rose fan I was happy with how they ended with her in Series 2 I feel when they bring old companions back it kind of ruins their arc and impact i feel she was just there for the sake of fan service but that's just my opinion I'd rather they just left her as she was i mean i liked Rose for awhile but i felt she had a much better chemistry with Christopher's Doctor than with David's because their wasn't this whole romantic relationship between those two which i hated, it was more of an uncle and niece relationship, Billie Piper later admitted she had actually forgotten how to play Rose and it kind of shows here because she's not the same Rose we knew her when she was a regular companion she felt like an entirely different character almost.

Same! I absolutely adore some of the future companions (maybe more so than Rose, to be honest) but, like the 9th Doctor, Rose will always have a special place in my heart since she was my first companion.

@@BritanyBinges I feel the same way😂

Ok, there is one thing that's always infuriated me, and I know, I'm probably VERY alone with this issue. But maybe someone could help me finally clear this up once and for all: 14:01 This is the way, I've always known how to salute someone... Why does Wilf ALWAYS salute differently? 😡😡😫😫 It looks SO DUMB with the palm forwards. The other person is SHOWING you, how to do it. It's like a response. So, why can't he just salute back normally? Equally? What the heck is going on there? 😅 Excuse me for maybe being ignorant or for sucking at history. Sometimes I'm ocd with these things. But because Wilf ALWAYS did this, it started to infuriate me at some point.....

Such a good episode. No idea there was Rose audio dramas or books or so. But comments say so. Make sense. Not seen Sarah Jane Adventures so interesting that bit. A turn of events indeed. A bit too much of wrongs but it makes a point even if heaped on. I don't remember what the bees point was a I remember the stars and other details for some reason. The next two episodes work to continue this. But yep Rose jumping dimensions just like Series 2 hmm how does she do that this time compared to the other jumping devices. I literally don't remember. Oh right Chan tho huh. Just like Martha in Series 2 then companion status. They do reuse the actors which makes sense but the makeup and role changes. Good spotting didn't realise. Ah Torchwood how S1&2 were good, 3 was garbage for 5-6 episodes I wanted to skip it but watched it all to witness and complete how bad it was, and 4 I stopped watching I was so bored of it and not enjoying the writing or characters.

Torchwood Children of earth was bad? There weren't even 6 episodes in it

How could you not finish season 4? It was epic! And suspenseful as hell. I don't understand 😂

[@JohnSmith-pw9lk]

You didn't need to watch sarah jane for this or the next episodes its not as relevant as they must have made it out to be

[@BritanyBinges]

I disagree. They mentioned multiple SJA characters in this that I wouldn't have had a clue who they were otherwise. I mean, Maria and Clyde were just a quick reference so that wouldn't have been a huge deal to not get the reference (although it's more enjoyable that I did), but the Trickster is literally the one responsible for the entire episode. I would've been lost and confused at the end and it would've definitely made me like the episode a little less. And that's not even going into the tie-ins in the finale story.
