Doctor Who 10X12 The Doctor Falls Reaction/Review

[@mekonta]

He also quoted Tom as soon as he woke up from his coma. "Sontarans perverting the course of history!" Fourth Doctor's first line from 'Robot'.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Capaldi also said that in Series 8’s Listen.

[@craigoconnor6662]

It is suggested that Missy doesn't regenerate. However, this is the Master we're talking about. He always survives.

[@EvanBagwell]

There's also the fact that they left the Master's regeneration ambiguous enough to where the next regeneration may not be Missy. For all we know, The Master could've had at least 1 more incarnation between he and Missy that we never saw.

[@drd2121]

Evan Bagwell this hasn't been stated but ya know missy when she pinned The Master against the wall and stated she got through against a wall by 'her' and told to always carry a rematerialisation (sorry if that's misspelled) circuit, and then after the Doctors little speech to the master and then saying to Missy "Stand with Me" then she held his hand as if she was placing something in it, well I bet she remembered the master would kill her, and that rematerialisation circuit, would rematerialise MISSY, at the Doctors own accord.

[@csgrambauer5852]

Michelle has said she's done now with Missy so don't get your hopes up for more Missy. She said it's time to move on and let someone else play The Master.

[@bletheringfool]

The references to tears and hope is (in addition to quoting Capaldi back to him) is also a callback to Jon Pertwee's 3rd Doctor final scenes with Sarah Jane Smith. ‘A tear, Sarah Jane? No, don’t cry. While there’s life there’s…’ the word he doesn't get to say is...hope. And the 1st Doctor's line 'Hello? Who's there? Hello?' taken directly from his final scenes.

[@percymurphy3113]

It all depends on what your friend likes. For beautiful visuals: Rings of Akhaten For scares: Blink For character driven: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship For thrills: The God Complex To simply get your friend hooked: The Pilot. I've used all of these but Blink on new whovians and Rings of Akhaten got the best reaction, but mostly because the girl I showed it to enjoys all prosthetics and unusual costumes and she loved all the different aliens.

[@tobin5378]

I'm not ready for Capaldi to go, he was killed by a hug from a cyberman, really sad note, Missy died standing with the doctor but he will never know...

[@anonymes2884]

"Never trust a hug..."

[@TheFixer_1]

Tobin tbh it may also have been when bill shot him.

[@allthingspaper3247]

A hug, I thought he was shot?

[@wdrewjr]

I agree totally. Missy deciding to stand with the Doctor and him not knowing is just SO sad. :(

[@MRocky323]

+ETSubmariner If you're talking about the "regeneration" in the Monk episode, that *was* fake. The Doctor has given off Regeneration energy before (Angels take Manhattan for River) without regenerating. Which is why he asked Nardole if it was too much. The Cyberman electric hug *is* what killed him (and the shots from the other Cybermen).

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

Honestly, I was hoping Heather would return for Bill since the start of the season.

[@Koreanlove35]

David MacDowell Blue I had a feeling Heather would come back and help Bill.

[@CptColumbo]

The saddest part about Missy's death was that the Doctor will never know that he was right about her.

[@august7535]

I love all of your comments and reactions throughout the video. They are so genuine and incredibly adorable. Also, I have that same shirt! Lol

[@mattjcole908]

Cant wait for Christmas special, I love the idea of two doctors at the end of their lives, not wanting to change having one last adventure with each other. Perfect sign off for Capaldi.

[@zvimur]

4:58 "Not because I want to blame someone!", The end of Time Part 2 "You did this to me!!", the one time the Master stood by the Doctor.

[@crandleberrysadie]

Start with 9, because new fans deserve to start at the beginning rather than being thrown into the Whovian maelstrom.

[@ride-playerbb2818]

noel dandes I started with 8, then I watched rose because im checking wether new who is on dailymotion, and it seems logical to watch him after 8.

[@henriktheonly3874]

I'm so glad Jack was in that little "remembering the companions" thingy! I need him back in the shooooooow

[@IOmoon6221]

He was electrocuted at the beginning of the episode by a Cybermen, that's why he is regenerating.

[@rocketcon]

He also got blasted by a Cyberman just before he set off the explosions at the end of the episode.

[@MRocky323]

+rocketcon He was giving off regen energy before that. And not purposely like in Angels take Manhattan or the Monk episode this season.

[@acturek]

The Doctors Wife where he "meets" the Tardis is my favourite episode, its wonderful, but I think you'd need to watch a lot of Who to appreciate its story and references

[@lawrencegough]

acturek I absolutely agree, it's power depends on being the one time the Doctor meets the Tardis.

[@hilzabub]

Before I even watch this, I want you to know how much I have been looking forward to this.

[@No-hl4qm]

watch an unearthly child

[@shadowhunter240]

silence in the library and the (can't remeber the other full title) of the dead

[@marcpearlman6445]

"Forest of the Dead". That's a pretty good two-parter to jump into.

[@lawrencegough]

ShadowHunter probably my favourite episode of all tv, but I wouldn't want to use a River episode as an introduction as there is too much mythology involved.

[@shadowhunter240]

true. i was also thinking Rose. so you can get a grip with it.

[@DaveF.]

Not really - it's River's introduction, so you don't need/can't know anyting about her to enjoy it.

[@lawrencegough]

Dave F I guess I'd just like the whole of River's story to be a surprise, rather than giving it away in a taster session. Otherwise, it's a great choice.

[@yogfan2648]

If your going to introduce someone to doctor who, then "Dalek" would be the best introductory episode in my opinion

[@seangleeson8073]

Hmm . . . For Modern-day Who, Blink is a fun intro-episode, but the problem is the lack of the Doctor. I tend to introduce people to the show by pairing that one with another great horror-themed episode, Midnight. They're both fairly stand-alone, which is good, because it lacks the potential confusion factor of other great episodes that require more knowledge of the show. I don't know how much Classic Doctor Who you've seen, but I do Presentations at Conventions about what to watch there and how to get into that, so if you want to introduce someone to the show going that for back, the 4th Doctor's City of Death is a great "See if you like this!" serial.

[@johntate6537]

I agree that Blink is a really good episode to introduce people, and Midnight, for essentially the same reasons. They have all of the darkness, the humour and the cleverness of Dr Who, but wrapped up in stand-alone episodes that don't really require background. Fine choices, Sean.

[@lissiehickman42]

Yup, city of death is the first ever episode of doctor who I watched and it definitely got me hooked. I also love blink and midnight

[@valerianaranjocruz25]

I made my mother watch "Deep Breath" to introduce her to Doctor Who. She loved it.

[@Denoven45]

Vincent and the Doctor is a really emotional epsiode to watch.

[@MrUndersolo]

Thomas The tank engine Totally?

[@SamdeSamD]

Vincent and The Doctor, I'd say! To be fair, Pilot from this season does a good job of letting people into the series blind.

[@AubreySciFi]

One little design detail that I loved in this episode was the design of the Master's Dematerialization circuit. It's Exactly the same design seen for the first time during the 3rd Doctor's second season where we see the Doctor's and Master's Demat circuits for the first time. Such an awesome little callback for the classic series fans there. Anyway a great episode all around I loved it! Its wonderful that the Mondasian Cybermen finally get a Genesis story onscreen. (Although even better than this version, is the one done by Big Finish a few years ago called "Spare Parts". Man that was a great story! This one's great too, but I still think I like that one a bit better.)

[@petee074496648]

During this reaction series, it was lovely watching a totally genuine and heartfelt person have genuine reaction to a passion and love in your life. keep up the good work :-) Pete

[@syteanric1868]

you look eerily like someone i went to school with! 😂😂 good video

[@t43iavmoi]

Here is an idea for a new Doctor Who spinoff drama series which I call (Beyond the Tardis). Other spinoffs have been somewhat restricted by having to rely on such things as a regular cast and being set in one place and time. Beyond the Tardis would have a different cast each week and be set anywhere in space and time. One week you could have a story about a previous companion and what they’ve been up to since leaving the Doctor’s side. The next you could have an origin story explaining why Davros ended up in a wheelchair, why the Sontarans start cloning themselves and what life was like for the Silurians before they went into hibernation. Plus there would be prequel and sequel stories relating to any of the past Doctor Who seasons, even those from the original run. You could have a story set before the Doctor turns up in London during the Dalek occupation, then have one set years after he saved the Roman family in the story (The Fires of Pompeii). The possibilities for this type of series are endless and give a writer the chance to let their imagination run wild. The Doctor wouldn’t be seen in it; though you may get to see the Tardis dematerialize at the start of a story and materialize at the end of one. Trev from East London, UK.

[@carp68]

I have a friend that you are similar to. She got me hooked on the Doctor but whereas she favors the new serials (Eccleston and on up) I decided to start all the waaaaaaaaaay back to William Hartnell as the first Doctor in 1963. I have now seen every (available) episode since then. I cherish the friend that introduced the Doctor to me and I hope that your friend will get as much joy as I have and as you have.

[@TheClownGoesHonk]

Gridlock is my favorite episode, and I feel like it would be a great episode to introduce someone to the show. It's not too out there (apart from the Face of Boe and the cat people) and it draws you in from the start. It's also a nice introduction to Gallifrey and the Doctor's past.

[@ZeroCharisma]

After some thought, I think that a good episode to introduce Doctor Who to a new person would be School Reunion S02E03. This is because it goes along way in explaining the relationships that the doctor has with his companions. It helps to explain where The doctor has come from (and indeed the show). It has a quite famous guest star in Anthony Head (of Buffy fame). It's also a good mixture of fun and horror.

[@alankelly6054]

Crazy ending with to series 10, loved the moment when you realise Bill's tear is why all Cybermen have that , and then later when"Pilot girl" uses it to come back for her. "Blink" has to be the best episode to introduce somebody to the Dr .

[@garethrodd3132]

Rose is such a good episode to introduce a newbie to the whovian universe 😃

[@marcpearlman6445]

Prior to this season, I might have recommended "Rose", "Girl in the Fireplace" or "Blink". However, I feel like "Pilot" may now be one of the best ways to introduce someone to Doctor Who.

[@Henipah]

The Eleventh Hour might be another option.

[@SunniestAutumn]

Nah, drop them into the deep end and put on Heaven Sent.

[@varietyofinterests4847]

"Pilot" is a good option. Moffat said he wrote it as a jumping on point for those not familiar with Doctor Who.

[@DaveF.]

Or Love and Monsters

[@chanceneck8072]

Bro, the only friend of mine, that I could convince to get at least generally interested in Doctor Who, I managed to do so with The Rings of Akhaten! It would feel amazing to share this special feeling with somebody!

[@ninaian]

Thanks for a fab review. My first regeneration story was Jon Pertwee's 'Planet of the Spiders' back in 1974 when I was 5 years old. I remember crying as I thought the Doctor had died. Of course, the amazing Tom Baker took over. Peter has been an amazing Doctor. So looking forward to the Christmas special. :)

[@galeno07]

The girl in the fireplace, Mummy in the orient express, The Eleventh hour... hmm and Blink if you can't decide.

[@IDidntSetAHandle]

Firstly, thank you! Love the content. Reaction suggestions for previous Who with your friend, whilst we wait the long wait to Christmas... There's a bunch to go at, but maybe take the Season 5 opening (which is a great re-boot introduction for newbies), and see if they'll consider going from there on their own? Then perhaps we might get you to revisit with them again when they reach The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang...? A man can dream. Regardless, thanks again!

[@paulwagner688]

So, from this episode, The Doctor doesn't want to regenerate. He wants to just die. But I think the TARDIS brought him back to his first regeneration to show him that he MUST regenerate.

[@timrob12]

Yes. I think the First Doctor, who is also nearing his regeneration, judging by the location, will probably spend the Christmas Special trying to convince the Twelfth Doctor to continue regenerating. But hey, MULTI DOCTOR CHRISTMAS! YEY!

[@elizabeths50]

you missed what the Master said. He told Missy to not bother trying to regenerate, he blasted her with the full force and she won't be able to regenerate. Missy is supposedly the last of the Master. And I think Missy remembered these events clearly, for the most part. She even said that at one time, a scary lady told her (as the master, to carry the spare part)/

[@createdezign1840]

“One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.”

[@thesimpsons17]

Vincent and the Doctor. a perfect emotional episode grounded in reality that can show the core of Doctor Who without being overwhelming or to Sci fi weird

[@M1996sw]

probably the best intro episodes are "the pilot" or "the girl from the fire place" or "blink"

[@DarkCornerProductions]

Loved the ending, was such a surprise. Makes me wonder if Peter is on the Tenth Planet at the end of that episode. "Hence" meeting the 1st Doctor, William.. who also regenerates at the end of the Tenth Planet ep with the Mondasian Cybermen.. Excited! :)

[@DerpMuse]

Lets see... the **go-to** Doctor Who Episodes for your friend to see are, Blink, Girl in the Fireplace, Of love and Monsters, Vincent and the Doctor, Impossible Astronaut (to confuse them), The Doctor Dances... Then more deeper episodes your friend should see I think are, I think Heaven Sent is good too. I like the 4.5 billion years in the dial story about eternity and birds sharpening their beak on the diamond mountain

[@kyrahanes7561]

For the episode to show your friend, I feel like, since you really love season ten, show her the first episode of season ten, The Pilot. It is beautifully written so that if you are new to Doctor Who you can start watching it. That is why I love this season so much. It is so fantastic to watch as a lover of Doctor Who and show others who know nothing about it (Also Bill, God I love Bill). But If you need to, show your friend Rose. If you don't want to start from season ten, then go straight to the beginning with Christopher Eccleston. I feel like the first episode of the tenth season or the first episode of the first season. I really like this reaction video. This is my first video of yours that I have watched and I really liked it. Keep up the great work. Glad that I hit that subscribe button.

[@seapea7402]

Magic reactions to an amazing finale. Great idea to introduce your friend to the world of Dr Who. "Rose" is perhaps the obvious place to start, 'Tooth & Claw", "Blink", The Eleventh Hour", "Vincent and the Doctor" or "The Pilot" would all be ideal starting points too .... or "An Unearthly Child" if you really want to be strict about it ! Cant wait ! :D

[@Jamienomore]

LOVED your Reactions. Though I am annoyed I had more tears than you. Ha! Ha! This was, in my opinion, the best Episode of Season 10. I have to disagree with it being a simple Episode with just the Cybermen attacking a small Village. There was SO MUCH to this Episode and some People missed it. There were points of view of the Children, the adults, Bill, the Master, Missy and the Doctor. Not forgetting ALL the slip ins of past Episodes. It is sad that the Doctor did not find out Missy had changed and wanted to be with the him.

[@henriktheonly3874]

WHY! did you have to use that Profile picture ;(

[@Jamienomore]

David Tennant is the first Scottish Doctor since Sylvester McCoy. I have been using it for years and the reason is simple. I have been told many times I look like David Tennant's twin Brother. Except for my height, my build, my hair colour and my face. Other than that I look just like him. Ha! Ha!

[@chanceneck8072]

Bro, the only friend of mine, that I could convince to get at least generally interested in Doctor Who, I managed to do so with The Rings of Akhaten! It would feel amazing to share this special feeling with somebody!

[@antoniochasten3192]

I would say The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances or Blink or Vincent or the Doctor or The Pilot. I think when he lost his eyesight in the episode "Oxygen" is what triggered his regeneration. He's just been fighting it ever since.

[@AlejoElConejo]

Many references to last seasons. I loved the 9th doctor reference with Bill and Heather.

[@missmarinarose3766]

My favorite line in this episode: Nardole: Shuttlecraft.

[@varietyofinterests4847]

I think Capaldi's kindness speech is second only to his war speech. Most people seem to miss that he quoted Tennent twice. "It's starting. I'm regenerating" is from his first regeneration he poured into his spare hand. Recommendations: Most people say "Blink." I say the library two-parter if they are willing to do a two-parter.

[@Moochtv]

Had to watch again. It is one of the Doctor's best speeches

[@borjankosarac3645]

I've had an idea since "The Next Doctor" (the Christmas one with David Morrison) for a way to introduce the next Doctor without announcing them - have a multi-Doctor episode, where the CURRENT Doctor is the one from the past meeting their future self; better yet, have him/her not realise it at first, until maybe halfway or so through the episode (maybe a two-parter, where the cliffhanger is the current Doctor finding another TARDIS, and then realises this odd person s/he has met is their future self). That way, assuming the BBC and/or The Sun doesn't ruin the surprise we can suddenly have an actor who was seemingly playing a one-off character revealed as the next Doctor. How fun would THAT be!? :-)

[@briandhont517]

how did you not shed a tear during the episode? The doctors speech teared me up, as did the end

[@Niceman65706]

Someone may have already mentioned it in the 100+ comments but with the Master killing Missy... as a later regeneration she remembers him doing that, so even though he tried to kill her outright with no hope of regeneration, she would have planned for that, like her previous 'deaths'. We'll see the Master again to be sure.

[@anonymes2884]

Great reaction. Your face after the amazing kindness speech when the Master just twists the knife, totally unmoved... Didn't film myself watching it but I suspect that's exactly how I looked. This version of the Master is a bit less cuckoo for cocoa puffs than in the RTD era (makes sense, he doesn't hear the sound of drums anymore) and Simm really plays him as the villain you love to hate. And as an entry point, i'd say 'The Eleventh Hour' (new Doctor, new companions, new showrunner, even a new TARDIS - not a bad jumping on point at all IMO). With the caveat that if your friend gets hooked they should go back and watch the best of _all_ the previous Doctors.

[@inkmaster5480]

You should show your friend Rose. Also The thing where Bill saw herself as human reminds me of Oswin Oswald from Asylum of the Daleks.

[@inkmaster5480]

Also that may have been the face that didn't listen, but his next face is the one that did.

[@sue9539]

Any seasons openers or big episodes would be good, 'Rose', or 'The Christmas Invasion' or maybe 'Deep Breath or 'The Pilot'. Maybe even a season finale that didn't have too big of a story arch towards it (can be understood more or less as a stand alone episode) as this would introduce the friend to the dynamic of the show, and the concept of regeneration, maybe the 'Bad Wolf' and 'Parting of the Ways' story from season 1??

[@steelbarber]

I think just like John Simm's master back in Tennant's era, Timelords are able to put off their regeneration if they wanted too. Not necessarily because your dying, say you're getting too old or getting too damaged at the point where it Thinks you need to regenerate. The Doctor will actually die if he keeps putting off his regeneration. But I'm sure the first doctor will convince 12 to start this new cycle of doctors again, since 12 is actually the first of his newly given regeneration cycle.

[@timrob12]

Moffat: The Christmas special is not going to be a fan fest. *The First Doctor pops up at the end of the episode* Me: No fan fest? Yeah, right.

[@ItsJustBlakey]

Rose, Blink, Pilot, Oxygen are just a few that spring to mind

[@iansmith1651]

Best story to show a newcomer exactly what Dr Who is all about? It can only be "City of Death",starring Tom Baker;and written by the legendary Douglas Adams. It has everything in it that makes Dr Who so unique and wonderful.

[@Nightwing0367]

The master is what the joker is to batman in my mind, the crazy guy who the hero doesn't want to face but when he does, he doesn't hold back, he pushes himself to save lives

[@dantheman8251]

THE WATERS OF MARS. 100% Stand-alone story. Best Doctor. Scare. Humour. Stunning visuals. Feature-length. Need i say more?

[@oddjob5589]

dantheman8251 best doctor? lolol

[@drd2121]

Odd Job "lolol" at the end of your comment? Lolol...

[@MRocky323]

*Most boring New Who Doctor FTFY

[@derfe]

It is one of the best New Who stories. But I think that the "Timelord Victorious" bit might go over the head of a new viewer. That's why I think "Midnight" is the best choice. It's amazing, creepy, and you don't need to know anything about the show to enjoy it.

[@popcornfilms1]

+Fren Croen midnight is a great choice

[@stevenwilliams9181]

When I just saw the black hat through the snow I immediately realised who it is. David Bradley's been brill as the First Doctor (the third person to have played Doctor #1)

[@DaveF.]

Great review and reaction as ever Nadya. Total head-f at the end too - amazed that that didn't leak (or, if it did, I avoided the news). Really going to be interested to see where that goes at Christmas - if it's a missing adventure the first doctor had just before his regeneration, or if we've entered some sort of weird mind-space in the doctor's own head. As for what episode of Who to show your friend? Everyone will probably say Blink - but while that's a brilliant episode, I'm not convinced it's Doctor Who at it's best - or rather, it's so not a normal Doctor Who episode, it only half counts. Could I suggest the library two-parter from Season 4? It's a fantastic episode, has some great creepy bits, introduced an enigmatic new character (and kills her off), does the timey-wimey stuff just like Blink (the screwdriver thing is yet another one of Moffat's Beethoven paradoxes), has some good comedy moments and shows the show off at it's best. Plus you get to force her to watch two episodes for the price of one!

[@johna5635]

Personally. I would suggest a two-parter... "Silence In The Library"/"Forest Of The Dead"... so many brilliant concepts that just blew my mind at the time. If it had to be a one-parter, for me it would have to be "Eleventh Hour" - that never gets old.

[@backudog]

Gotta recommend 'Blink' , 'empty child/doctor dances' or maybe 'the girl in the fireplace'.

[@ellaritter]

I do recommend blink, the girl in the fireplace and the episode in which David regenerates, because then we could see if the person who's never watched Doctor Who gets sad.

[@MrUndersolo]

Still the best Doctor Who reactions, even without seeing the video. And are you really surprised that Missy/The Master is/are crazy? This is a great path to the Christmas closer... See you at X-Mas! ❄️

[@ChristopherJonesArt]

I really enjoyed your video. Let's hope Capaldi ends up doing some Big Finish audios!

[@k1esther1w]

I really enjoyed 'The Doctor Falls' although it was not without it's problems. I really enjoyed the Master/Missy sub-plot and how they had a self destructive nature which ended in a sort of suicide. I really enjoyed Nardole exit and for me he had the best line in the episode, “You're wrong, you know. I'll never be able to find the words." That line really chocked me up. What a great and wonderful and emotional episode. Well done everyone. I enjoyed the 1st Doctor's 'surprise' return but I wish that they had quoted William Hartnell rather than Richard Hurdnall but David Bradley nailed the part in the short clip that we had. 6hrs...I want to thank you for the last 12 weeks reactions/reviews. I have really enjoyed your blogs and as many of my friends are not 'Doctor Who' fans it has been good to hear others views. I appreciate that you have worked hard in bringing us some quality videos over the last 3 months and I look forward to your blogs (if you have any) leading up to Christmas and your Christmas review. Many thanks and have a great day, Kevin.

[@valerianaranjocruz25]

The thing that got me the most, is that Missy died trying to do the right thing, for once. Standing with her friend in his final battle, that's all she ever wanted. Quoting River Song: "Without hope. Without witness. Without reward" Without any hope of survival. Without any witness to fool. Without any reward, because it was one of those situations, one of those moments where there's no way out. She chose to do the right thing. She didn't betrayed her friend at the end. But the Doctor won't know that. I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@missmarinarose3766]

...And now I have to subscribe and marathon your reaction videos.

[@ariacosplays3989]

blink!!!!! Or maybe the empty child/the doctor dances.

[@madeleine5561]

I had the same reaction to Missy except I was flat out sobbing.

[@nickcandy1874]

I believe The Doctor has been fighting his regeneration since Bill shot him. Because he can't just shake that off without some kind of special thing (like the meta crisis). Moreover, it's very poetic, like every other Doctor went. A test of his best friend's faith, combined with his own vanity. His belief that perhaps he could hold it off until needed.

[@osumarko]

I have a theory that the Doctor was secretly fighting off regeneration all season. Remember in Knock Knock when Bill asks about regeneration and he quickly changes the subject.

[@LuaBarbosa01]

one good episode to introduce someone in DW is midnight in the four seasons, about the finale, I've got so frustrated, the Doctor doesn't want regenerate, he wants to die and end the cicle :/ except this I loved this episode, it was so well done, and everything seemed to fit together. I can't believe that I will have to wait until Christmas.

[@whentokoloshsays1142]

I agree with your comment that the last two episodes did Peter Capaldi justice to his acting. He has been very good throughout his time as Doctor Who. With regards to which Doctor Who episode someone should watch who has not seen the programme before, that is very difficult. I go back to Tom Baker's time as the Doctor and it was sad when Mary Tamm left the show (Romana) as she was gorgeous, clever and the Doctor's equal. Can I also thank you for showing your reactions to this series. I have enjoyed them. Your are a lovely girl, Nadia!

[@ghanaking5255]

Hello 6Hrs. Wonderful reaction to the Season 10 finale. I would recommend Smith and Jones because it sets the tone of that dynamic pairing of 10 and Martha Jones, just like 12 and Bill Potts a decade later. I love your reactions / reviews to Season 10, I will watch them all over again to remind me...to some mark...ish. Great video, and thanks.

[@GeorgeBack02]

Missy won’t regenerate, it says in the episode “don’t bother trying to regenerate, you got the full blast!” But The Master will probably still come back. Always does!

[@henriktheonly3874]

Has anyone noticed how Capaldis hair, got cooler and cooler after every season?

[@derfe]

Midnight. It's one of the best episodes, and it requires no prior knowledge of the show.

[@JackCh91]

It has to be Vincent and The Doctor to introduce somebody to the show, easily the best episode and covers all emotions of the show

[@YugSihtTsuj]

It's even more fitting than you said that the First Doctor show up here; it's clear that Twelve arrived right at the end of "The Tenth Planet," the first appearance of the Cybermen and the First's last. At the end of the story, he went back to the TARDIS and collapsed on the floor; his companions got back just as it was taking off on its own, and they were just in time to witness the regeneration. Missy's death was also very fitting. The Master hated the Doctor so much that he chose to die at his own hands rather than become his ally. And this might not be his last appearance. We know that he's about to regenerate, but Missy's memory of the event is very fuzzy. Maybe there were other lives she's forgotten about between the Simm and Gomez versions. Who knows? And...oh, the ideas I'm getting...

[@henriktheonly3874]

I noticed something! The old cybermen (the ones Bill is in) has round eyes, just like ALL the other cybermen, but all the other cybermen, has eyes, with small tear shapes.. except this version.

[@1funkyflyguy]

I love your passion for the show! x

[@awkwardtonberry5459]

Midnight would probably be the best episode to use in order to introduce someone to Doctor Who. It's what I'm going to use for my sister.

[@antoniochasten3192]

I am already seeing fans asking Paul McGann to read this speech at a future con that he's going to be doing. John Hurt read the Anti War speech and it was great hearing it in his awesome voice.

[@neostar9]

The full version of the The Eleventh Hour would be a good episode to show some one. It's a clean start, emotional, has action, and not to out there for a new person.

[@watertommyz]

Blink is a good introduction episode. It's a good time travel story without need of knowing who The Doctor is, who plays a minimal role in the episode.

I'd recommend "Blink". It's my favourite episode of Doctor Who, besides those with River

definetely vincent and the doctor

[@JohnD640]

I'm not the biggest Matt Smith fan but missed him when he went. I'd say 'The Eleventh Hour' would be a good start as it introduces the new Doctor and his companion.

I'd use Vincent and the Doctor for a new viewer. It is stand alone, has a lot of the Doctor, and is very emotional. Blink fails on the second point, but is still another good choice. Midnight, maybe? The Pilot and Eleventh hour are good season opener choices, but I think have too much that pays off later. For the same reason I wouldn't pick a River Song episode, even though they are my favourite.

lawrencegough This is 100%.

the 50th anniversary episode is a good choice for a intro to the serious

[@obiwanrussell1747]

If you are breaking in a newbie on Dr Who, it has to be 'Blink' to start off with. Then show them season 1 onwards in order.

I don't have a suggested episode but there will be plenty from others in the comments. I do have something you may need to think about if you go with an emotional episode. Unless what brings out the "feels" as young people call it nowadays is self contained within the episode it will not grip a new viewer the way it does those of us who have followed the show for a while and became emotionally invested in the characters. Major events such as a goodbye to a companion or a regeneration scene will not only spoil the event for the new viewer if they decide to begin watching the show after your introduction, but will also not have anywhere near the impact it should if they have only had one episode to become attached to the person. All that being said, I always enjoy your reactions. I only know one person other than myself in this area who enjoys the show so the only way for me to interact with others who share my passion for this show is to seek out reaction videos such as yours. Seeing others who share in the excitement of a new episode is always wonderful. I also enjoy going back and watching older reactions for the same reason the Doctor said that he keeps companions around (I can't remember which Doctor at the moment). I can only watch these episodes for the first time once. Watching reactions to older episodes is almost like seeing them again for the first time, just through the eyes of the reactor. Before I continue in creating a wall of text, I will cut it off by saying thank you for sharing your experiences watching this show with us. I have truly enjoyed them and hope you will be able to continue sharing long into the future.

I think I made a mistake when I tried to introduce my Dad to Doctor Who a year or so ago and had him watch "Rose". Even though it is a pretty good episode there are many that are better, especially in a show like this. Honestly, I'd say that the 9th Doctor episode "Dalek" would probably be a very great choice to introduce your friend to. Now, "Blink" is a great episode but is pretty Doctor-lite.

[@watertommyz]

biganimefan84 Blink is good for introduction exactly because it's light on The Doctor. It's a good time travel story.

[@borjankosarac3645]

"The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" is a good one, albeit a two-parter... plus it has Captain Jack's introduction!
