SLITHEEN'S BACK! | Doctor Who Season 1 Episode 11 "Boom Town" Reaction!

[@alicechan404]

"Only a killer would know that." One of my favorite lines of the series, in an underrated episode too.

[@mayotango1317]

Also a hypocrite one.

[@rangerzickle3350]

I never understood why people never sided with Micky at first. Because of the doctor, Micky became a suspect of Rose’s potential murder, he’s is constantly belittled by the doctor and ignored by his “girlfriend” who he loves more than she loves him. Since he always returns to her. In this moment he is asking for clarity on where there relationship so he knows how to handle it. And no one cares.

[@aminaa5824]

Yeah people are so against him and idk why, he’s a good guy, he has a right to act how he does

[@hunterharmak]

Reminder it's the same rift from episode 3 with the ghosts. They are both set in Cardiff and the TARDIS landing here has lots of lore implications etc.

[@HuntingViolets]

Well, Rose considers herself "footloose and fancy-free," why shouldn't Mickey see other people?

[@tekkunknown]

Nah bro she said Available and VERY 😂

[@InspectorWhoReacts]

"She's climbing out the window isn't she?"

[@ftumschk]

I love the way Eccleston delivers that line :)

[@ThePonderer]

I don’t really like the Slitheen, but the comedy in this episode really did it for me. Funniest of the season imo, plus Christopher Eccleston and Annette Badland (Margaret) both really make the dramatic bits work.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

She did many bad things, she "earned" her sentence. Yes, that sentence was death... but we "can't" ignore that every society/species/culture has the right to govern itself. Free will and all that. However the Tardis, a living entity, also has its free will. It both carried out her sentence, killing her, and spared her by reverting her to an egg to try again. One could argue that a living time machine can see the possibilities and patterns of time... and make a better judgement of someone's... potential.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I believe the actor who played the chap murdered at the beginning was the first person to appear in both "classic" (1963-1989) and "new" (2005-) Who, although he played unrelated roles.

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

I think he was also Gwen’s father in Torchwood.

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Just on the conversation where the Doctor explains how his TARDIS came to be disguised as a Police Box was a callback to the very first episode of the original series of Dr. Who "An Unearthly Child" where The First Doctor (William Hartnell) and his granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann Ford) landed in London, England earth in 1963 was where the chameleon circuit broke and became stuck as a Police Box as the TARDIS is meant disguise itself of wherever its surroundings Police Boxes were every where in the United Kingdom from the 1920's until the 1960's then they became defunct, Police Boxes originally came from the USA in 1877 but became more known in Britain.

[@CrankyGrandma]

I feel bad for Mickey. Rose does not treat him well.

[@andvitzeninn]

You're saying this under an episode where he has a new girlfriend but tries to sleep with Rose anyway without telling her, cheating on both Rose and Trisha. Honestly y'all have to stop babying mickey, he's a grown man who could've very well ended things with Rose if he wanted.

[@teganwoods4184]

Look, in episode 1 she almost *DIED* and his reaction was "let's go to the pub bc there's a match on".

[@mareiramv]

That episode is interesting and I also think it solidifies the idea that Doctor Who can do anything. In one episode you have this weird looking aliens that fart all the time, but in this one, you have this whole moral dilemma that is so interesting to think about... I mean, how many chances someone deserve to turn their life around and stop being a bad person to now be a kind one? That is a thought, for sure. I'm happy with another Emme Who tuesday and I'm soooooo excited for the next 2 episodes! Great reaction, I always love your jokes.

[@space1999]

There are some fabulous plot twists in the next few seasons... things that happen that were seeded hidden in plain sight in other episodes ..... your gonna love them....

[@jennifermorris6848]

I love that you note the music. Keep your ears out for specific themes that represent specific people etc. Murray Gold is awesome.

[@andvitzeninn]

Omg 9:11 you and Rose made the exact same face and honestly, relatable Also "Wow, thats wild. And also so gross. Fascinating." Doctor Who in a nutshell

[@grabtharshammer]

05:40 "look at the feet" - here in the UK we prefer privacy in our Toilets unlike in the USA where you can see everything, our doors fit our cubicles

[@Sco16161]

Well In both the schools I went and college and every airport I’ve been they have gaps under the cubicles 😂 never had one that hasn’t had them and I’m from the uk

[@medafan53]

@@Sco16161 Agreed, it varies from place to place but the big gaps at the bottom of the stalls are seen in plenty of places.

[@AmazingChi]

We have gaps, but they tend to be small (ankle height) and it's not universal. A lot, like the one in that bathroom are complete fits. I was going to comment on this little curious culture clash myself haha.

[@jamalgordon8883]

It came out since June 2005 and it was filming in early January 2005 and February 2005

[@IsiahBradley]

THANKS for this!!!! Almost at the finale!!! And as you see by the end of the episode, Mickey's *not* missing the point; he understands Rose will not *share* him as a priority--not stay around for a while to be with him or lobby The Doctor again for him to come. He's no longer a factor--major or minor--in Rose's life. That's what he's saying (and Rose admits it, as we see).

[@barriehull7076]

Annette Badland (Margaret) her first professional television role was for Thames Television in 1975's feature length biopic The Naked Civil Servant, where she portrayed the tap-dancing pupil.

[@SeedFactoryProject]

They use Cardiff a lot for location shoots in Doctor Who because the BBC studio where they film it (i.e the TARDIS set) is in Cardiff.

[@AlmightyCRJ]

"She's an egg!" IIRC it's the Ostrich egg from episode 2 redecorated.😂

[@JulietteReacts]

fuck sake. This episode is forever mentally renamed “Dinner and Bondage” in my head now. 😂

[@quistwing]

"jack is on a date with the tardis" i agree

[@SarahH-ns6ly]

Once you get past the gassiness, this episode is pretty good. Interesting moral dilemma and the question of whether someone really can change their ways. Onward and upward to the series 1 finale!

[@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg]

I love the fact that she really has changed - she spares the girl she previously wouldn't have cared about - but it's not a complete character overhaul that turns her into a 'white hat'. Her change is an evolution, not a miracle.

[@smashstuff86]

The rift is the same rift from episode 3, The Unquiet Dead.

[@prateekmandadi5081]

The music for Doctor Who is done by the amazing Murray Gold!

[@docksider]

Instead of Cardiff City Hall they filmed in the old Glamorgan County Hall

[@rangerzickle3350]

Yes the TARDIS is alive. It can make choices and decisions for itself, and refuse the Doctor certain flight controls

[@steve8510]

Captain my Captain

[@asterix7842]

Always nice to see your reaction to another episode 😊

[@RyderDunei]

The Tardis is kind of her own character, and she's a big old softie.

[@lbd-po7cl]

I’d just like to say, I am really enjoying your reactions, and can’t wait for the next two. I’ve also managed to get through all of them so far without being arrested!😉

[@joeygauvin2765]

Curious to see how you like different doctors 👍 keep the videos coming 😊

[@ineptgamer3814]

Pretty cool story after the heaviness of the last episodes. It's the first day of 2025, so Happy New Year...! Thanks for sharing your first-time watch...!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Sco16161]

Great reaction as always emme only found you recently and love your reactions you are so kind and sweet too😊

This is the first episode I ever saw as a child. It's nothing special but it has a place in my heart becasue of that

[@BobCtabtree-pl6xq]

Dinner in Bondage..I've read that book.I'd like to make a suggestion.A Dr.Who spinoff series starring Captain Jack Harkness that you may(or may not)enjoy,titled Torchwood. If the thought of a whole new series is too much right now,a great introduction is the 5 part stand alone Children of Earth..freaked me out.

[@Ozgipsy]

I’ve been really enjoying the Dr Who reactions, kid. Very entertaining 👍

[@emme]

Glad to hear it!

[@Daltwan_Kenobi]

Been looking forward to this one, Jacks introduction is certainly when Dr Who gets real good and then continues that trend.

[@jamalgordon8883]

Captain Jack did before Torchwood

With the last episode with Nancy being the mother it was shameful back in 1945 to be a a teenage mother so that’s why she lied even to her son she was ashamed it was a different era.

[@zvimur]

I think... it may be 6 months after the events in the Sletheen episodes?

Just caught up on youtube, really enjoying your reactions! :) Would love to subscribe on patreon, but current finances prohibit such extravagance, unfortunately. :( Maybe in future...

[@jameshenner5831]

It's good they didn't blow up Cardiff. Doctor Who is filmed there.

[@swytchyglytch]

2 perter coming up. Just thought I'd let you know in case you want to combine them and not leave us on a cliffhanger lol. 😛

[@isthatthetimealready]

OT, but really like the little highlights in your hair, and are you a little tanned?

[@elvwood]

I didn't like this episode when I first watched it, largely because I hated the slitheen fart jokes, but it's grown on me. I like the way almost everyone has _some_ valid things to say but has wonky perspectives: it feels very human.

[@SadBnnuy]

It's definitely the better of the Slitheen stories

[@12chapin]

Don’t turn left, is not good. Hello 👋🏻.

[@lancywilson9310]

Emme I wanted say that you should watch X-Men 97, it's such a great show and some even say that it is the best thing the Marvel has provided since Endgame. And since marvel has got their Mutants right back so, mutants are going appear in the future mcu movies. And more than that their most important movie since endgame is a movie about two mutants (I don't want to spoil anything more than that) so mutants are becoming important in MCU and you don't know anything about them, that's not good. For you to watch the X-Men 97 you need to watch some other shows like X-Men animated series in produced 90's( predecessor or prequel of X-Men 97). That is a big show containing 76 episodes so, that's not possible to watch and do a reaction on it. So I would prefer to watch a full series explanation video on KZbin, and if you want you can do a reaction on it or watch the entire series alone, which will be better for you. And there are lot of other X-Men movies that you need to watch. I would say that you should just need to watch those and no need to do a reaction on it. If you do all these things you are ready to watch the X-Men 97 show, which is one of the best things Marvel has ever produced.

[@Birdy115]

Have you seen Naruto? If not then when?

[@h3llolime222]

am I the only one who skips this episode as well as 4 & 5? I just hate the slitheen so much & not in a good way! all the farting is so gross & not funny at all. Love doctor who so much but I can’t stand those episodes lol.

[@thepandorica1660]

It's sad that all you people see of the Slitheen is the farting. Yes, it's disgusting and a bit childish, but if you look past it then we have some seriously evil villains

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Yes because some of us have a sense of humour I take it you never seen "Blazing Saddles" then? as disgusting as farting is everyone seems to think it's used as a fart joke but it's been made a story reason why they do that but bare in mind Dr. Who is also a show for kids so they got to have something for them as well. The farting doesn't bother me personally I think episodes 4 and 5 were great episodes and very Dr. Who.

[@h3llolime222]

@@thepandorica1660 they are good villains I just can’t get passed the farting. it’s the sound. not just doctor who. any show with bodily sounds like that makes me very uncomfortable. trust me I know how iconic they are & Loved the episodes when I first watched them. but now I choose not to because 1 i’ve already seen it so i know the story & 2 I just don’t want to hear the wet farting & giggling.

[@h3llolime222]

@@joshuajoshua2732 I just don’t like the sound. I liked the episodes & I think they are good villains but I personally don’t like hearing the farts. that all. still really love the show.
