Well, he was also horrified that River was trying to murder someone even though her entire existence supposedly revolved around killing the Doctor himself. Let's face it, the Doctor doesn't know River particularly well and their marriage was more for the convenience of saving the universe than anything else.

Well he 'borrowed' the TARDIS from the Time Lords way back when so he can hardly complain.

[@NPCarlsson]

Clever thinking. Although, The Master took off with it.

[@oliverkiddell1751]

NPCarlsson I imagine the Master stealing it might have inspired him to come up with system in the first place. He just never bet on that hand growing into a full clone of him and wandering off into the sunset with Rose.

[@SamuraiJedi7]

It could be because the Master didn't have the hand in the same temporal space until he took it with him in Utopia

[@L1z43vr]

Inspire him to od what? Built a TARDIS with a beeping interface?

[@BreannaKay30]

There's also the issue of the "severed" head of Micky the Auton in the VERY first episode of NewWho in 2005... it was able to leave then, when the rest of the Auton was left behind...

[@imfionn]

he was trying to subtly hint that he's the doctor but river just isn't getting the message 😂😂

[@mayotango1317]

She is Amy's daughter after all.

[@sgearxextreme8]

[@thatoneothergamer6158]

3:55

[@Pokemc0831]

It was so subtle, that it was as if he threw a brick at her

[@edthejester]

Subtly?

[@oliverkiddell1751]

Peter quite visibly had a ball playing the "bigger on the inside" lines!

[@LukasOfTheLight]

This is the show firing on all cylinders. Moffat at his intelligent best, pitch-perfect performances, magical music, and a score from Murray Gold that's just as beautiful as it always is. And the set design! The direction! It looks *fantastic*.

[@empressofvibes]

"He's never noticed before." "...Well, maybe he'll notice now" Love this whole scene.

[@DawnElicia]

The look on his face when he realizes she has been taking it without his permission. I love it. Peter you are amazing.

[@2Greenhill]

What did we learn from this scene? Avoid deck seven.

[@kosh9639]

"The emergency brake" scene with Matt Smith & River Song-- is priceless, too... 😂 😂

[@jennyinutil2018]

"You are very quick" "Yes, for a doctor" "Yes!" "... Seriously?" Peter Capaldi and Alex Kingston Ladies and Gentlemen(?)

[@aaronwilson9465]

"He's never noticed before" I now need a series of river stealing the tardis and having her own adventures

[@Chips_and_Gears]

it would be funny if in one shot of the TARDIS it was in once place, and in the next shot of it, it would be _juuuust_ slightly to the right or something

[@matthewsimpson5529]

I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find about a hundred examples of that in Classic Who. Which just brings to mind River running through the Doctors entire timeline, partly to borrow the TARDIS, partly to get pictures of The Doctor's faces.

[@Circuitssmith]

The absolute irony of the doctor saying “you can’t just _steal_ a TARDIS!”

[@rockandrollfan470]

Stuff like this is why 12 is the best.

[@UrinalUser]

Doctor Who Archives 4, 10,12

[@zl3791]

@@UrinalUser People really need to stop overselling Tom Baker as if he's the best of all time. He was good for his time and that's it, making him decent by today's standards. He doesn't even remotely come close to a fraction of the current doctors so people really need to stop acting as if he is the best. Eccelesten, Tennent, Smith and Capaldi are all leagues above him. As for "4, 10, 12" yeah no, Capaldi was good, REALLY good, the most underrated in my opinion but Matt is second to Tennent, and a close second at that. Tennet > Smith > Capaldi > Eccelsten.

[@0GallifreyGirl0]

12 and River make so much more sense as a couple and there's only one episode with them together. We were all robbed.

[@migueldeitos]

"Sorry. I've always wanted to see that done properly."

[@Vessecora]

I love how Capaldi is so good that 12's acting is horrible!

[@OverWims]

U know ur a good actor Wen u can act like a bad actor

[@rymdalkis]

Doctor: "You probably want to press that button" River: "Why? That evacuates the waste tank on deck seven" Doctor: "Does it? Better avoid deck seven then"

[@emilyemyemily]

Dr Who I'm being as patient as I can. PLEASE HELP IM BEING PATIENT AND I CANT WAIT TIL CHRISTMAS FOR THIS

[@emilyemyemily]

Lord Omega it feels like it's been more

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

MLP Art Cloud only next Sunday >.

[@Drakelx55]

"Seriously?" At the very end there, OMG that was beautiful xD

[@Xylarxcode]

The Doctor's face when River opens up the minibar in the wall. He's like: 'What the hell? Has that always been there?'

[@shrimp3rjr413]

1:49 Can we take a moment to appreciate Capaldi's "realising its bigger on the inside" face

[@AC9123]

3:16 Doctor makes complicated explanation about the TARDIS River does not realize _wait, this dude actually knows some stuff_ XD

[@Terry.W]

Peter Capaldi is just so good in this..

[@erez87xp]

Finally! Done properly.

[@erez87xp]

Every time I watch it I laugh out loud.

[@kutbekkzal3394]

it happens me too :D

[@stephenmurphy2212]

It's typical how it takes ages for River to realise it's the Doctor! 😂

[@mayotango1317]

Like her mother it took ages to realize that Rory loved her and that he was not his gay friend that she believed.

[@pamjarvis2771]

It is hilarious reversal of themselves when it came to how long for Doctor to figure out who River was to himself. River had not realized who Doctor was is actually adorable bookend move to happened since it had happened to herself from the Doctor.

[@Discrimination_is_not_a_right]

Doctor: *begins overacting* River: "I need a drink"

[@aristidetwain9117]

2:16 Just listen to the TARDIS cackling in the background.

[@julieeverett7442]

If you listen carefully through the whole long series of the show you can hear the TARDIS talking on numerous occasions, especially with 4th!

[@julieeverett7442]

I know, great isnt it?

[@briang.2218]

That first "GOD" is so inappropriately loud it's great XD

[@__BvL__]

I love this episode,it´s sooo funny :'D

[@flyingfilmproductions651]

*I've always wanted to see that done properly*

[@orionparish9858]

I just wonder how many times they had to film this scene because no one could keep a straight face for the whole thing and not break out laughing.

[@fmlazar]

Atter 3 years of Capaldi, they're probably used to it.

[@jennifersanchez1874]

"He's never noticed before." Lol. And OMG, his overacting reaction. Lmao.

[@awesomejake1188]

this was my favorite scene in the episode

[@sommynoks3941]

Awesome jake 11 me too!! And also the scene where she finally realized it was him when he said hello sweetie

[@OverworkedITGuy]

This is my 2nd fav. But I think the best was this one from the episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJi5e3eaatt7nNk

[@charlietownsend2826]

"Why ?! That evacuated the waste tank on deck 7 !" "Does it...? Better avoid Deck 7 then.." Gold. 👌

[@Iwantamansonguitar]

Next week, on Doctor Who: "Troubles at Deck 7"

[@CapralHarrison]

I think he can just delete it in TARDIS reality and create again if needed

[@basiliskboy17]

"Oh my... GOD!" that line delivery right there is the best I've seen in any form of media. this man is amazing

[@DaDunge]

2:00 How does she not recognize him from this rant.

[@river-phoenixlunapavier2641]

1:30 when the Doctor kinda breaks the forth wall and not only shows but tells us all how you’re actually meant to react when you step inside and see the inside of the Tardis for the first time. 🤣🤣🤣

[@bradleywillard2361]

Although I don't particularly like this story, this scene always makes me chuckle. Just the look on Capaldi's face when he's pretending to be walking into the TARDIS for the first time. Great acting.

[@jellybeanium124]

Yeah, this scene is pretty much the only thing holding me back from "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CALL HER MELODY POND???" at the top of my lungs.

[@AudreyKey9653]

I love the way his freakout is cut together. It really implies that the Doctor was prancing around yelling at the ceiling for several minutes.

[@s02229]

Every facial expression Peter makes in this clip is pure comedy gold

[@lolhannahh7662]

Semi threatening and making a mental note "Maybe...... he will notice.......NOW." I just love this scene.
