Why you don't talk about the failed spin off(kinda) class(2016)?

[@roguexxrenegade]

I befriended the set designer of Time Fracture and he gave me some props from the show to take home. Still in contact with him! He ended up hosting us for a week when we visited again!

This will always have a really special place in my heart. My dad got himself, me and my partner tickets for this when they were first released in August 2020. After this my partner ended things and I was devastated and found my current partner who is amazing- Dad let her take the place without question. We ended up going in June 2021 and had a brilliant time, releasing cybermen, finding weeping angels, fixing the untempered schism. My Dad passed away earlier this year, and these memories (alongside him taking me to the Doctor Who Experience and various other doctor who related and non related events) have been really prevalent recently. Thank you for making this video Harbo❤

You should do a retrospective on time, Lord victorious event

[@Comicbroe405]

Definitely. It's such a mixed bag

6:20 - And this is why Big Finish should make an audio boxset titled UNIT: Flooded.

When I met davros, he tried to turn me into a dalek, but then he gave me a small bracelet device to activate at Gallifrey for the daleks to invade. I gave the device to a friendly time lord and told him about davros and his plan only for the daleks to invade anyway later. He also told me to place the device on the side of a massive portal device and it showed me the untempered schism and I stared into the time vortex itself. No I'm not joking.

My best friend and I (both actors) went nine times. We had a gimmick of two people, one scarf (they had knitted an extra long Tom Baker scarf), and due to us bring actors who really played along, the actors loved us. Many of them remembered our names, one gave us comp tickets, and we got main character treatment at basically every show after number 5. It even extended to main character treatment at other immersive shows the actors did after closing, and a couple of friendships! Every month or so, I miss Time Fracture terribly and wish I could go again. What an absolute banger

[@FluffyChops]

I didn't even know this even took place. Never heard of this and if i knew i would of at least gone once unless those £10 tickets were true then likely would of gone again.

[@AndyAndy-wi7gs]

I went to Time Fracture, and it was phenomenal, and very well done... I still miss Brian

Me & my friend were tasked to get plans for some device from Shakespeare so we were taken into his office by ourselves & to get the plan we had to entertain him. So we picked up a nearby ukelele looking thing & began to sing the campfire song from SpongeBob to him. It worked & we were very satisfied that Shakespeare got to experience a little SpongeBob in his life

[@justanormalhumanbeing1903]

this is why I need a real life tardis bc I missed time fracture and intensely wish I could go back

[@DerektheDalek]

Did Time Fracture myself and honestly loved it, it was fun getting to have my own unique interactions with a sister of Karn and Davros and see other people get their own experiences as well. I wish there was more experiences like it and they did better overall.

[@harrykelly8003]

I've been to two Doctor Who immersive experiences. One was Crash of the Elysium, a kid-focused one in Salford produced by Punchdrunk. For some reason we'd got tickets for previews, and as a result my brother & I were the youngest there, and got a bit more attention from the actors! It was nice, but Time Fracture holds a special place in my heart - whilst there I had what was easily the greatest nerdy moment of my life. My partner & I had ended up in a group of 6-8 people or so, and we'd met Shakespeare before being swept away to the alien market by one of the Doctor-esque characters. The group was tasked with doing something or having some conversation with someone at the market, whilst my partner & I were singled out by the Not-Not-The-Doctor to go with them to warn Leonardo Da Vinci about something or other. We ran across the market, and into the historical half of the set, and as we were following the Doctor-ish, admiring the environments we were running through, I almost ran right into someone a bit taller than me! I paused for a second to apologise to them, and as I looked up at their face I saw Brian the Ood! I wasn't expecting that in the slightest, and I swear I did the typical "companion in an alien place" double take! I remember in that moment I was so shocked to have bumped into an ood, and very much made that obvious, and upon realising that I apologized to him before running off to follow the Doctor! That was time fracture for me, being so absorbed in it all I got to play out a classic scene without thinking about it, possibly without it even being intentional on the actors part! There was something magical about it, and I really hope it or something similar can come back one day.

[@britanimations2002]

I went twice, and I miss it so much. I wish there was a professional recording of one of the performances, I would love to see what I never got to see the first time

[@william2496]

There should be a ‘restaurant at the end of the universe’ in the U.K. from Hitchhikers, and it should be like the bar in the End of Time! It’ll be a cool theme for a normal pub/cafe and could be almost like a centre for further DW or hitchhikers experiences, also maybe Merlin/Robin Hood/Sherlock/LOTR/Narnia/HDM/HP/Penny dreadfuls

[@gandonk]

Im so happy you went over this. ive been looking for time fracture content for ages

[@libbyford6765]

I am so sad I missed this experience, I had no idea it was even a thing! Obviously marketing wasn’t very good because I am usually pretty up to date with dr who news

[@roblewis3799]

I never saw this, but I was lucky enough to have seen Crash of the Elysium featuring the 11th Doctor, in Ipswich. That was superb!

[@thatotherted3555]

Even with the weak spots, that sounds insanely well put together for such a complex, all-moving-parts production. I'm honestly amazed it ever existed. It also sounds like incredible fun; thanks for sharing it with us!

[@CulturePhilter]

I loved Time Fracture. Went three times in the end. Once at full price early on with one group of friends. Once slightly cheaper with another and then once by myself for one of those cheap £10 tickets right at the end. So I managed to explore quite a bit of it. But still think there is stuff I didn’t see.

[@owntmpsn]

And still no Nathan Gibson

[@TheAngryRedBird]

Man that sounds amazing! It probably wouldn't have ever made it to the States though. Though I was aware of the Brian the Ood character, because he was part of a vinyl audio story I picked up, which was a part of Time Lord Victorious

[@future057]

I went here myself, as one of the lucky few that actually got to(!) and it was honestly excellent - a true credit to all the actors and set designers etc. involved. Davros was particularly convincing!

[@dylansimkins3040]

Man I went there with my cousin and brother 3 ish years ago and it was so much fun Really depressed to hear that it has come to an end

[@Bobbobob12647]

Remember;Attack of the Graske? Great commentary.

[@WhiteObelisk6307]

Ohhhh I member 😂

[@THEtomh]

I experienced Time Fracture when it was open, but unfortunately wasn't into DW at the time. Now I am into Doctor Who and there's basically nothing around now I NEED FOOD GIVE ME CONTENT GRAAAAAAAAA

[@vullord666]

I was in the UK for a bit in 2022. My greatest regret is that I never got to the fracture event. I'm going to die and that regret is going to be branded on my tombstone.

[@crimsonflame533]

when I saw this I thought it was the one I went to but it isn't sadly. the one I saw was at a place in whales called the doctor who experience and was actually really good even had a section of it with weeping angels (and when you entered the room of the weeping angels there was one towards the right as you went in that's kept out of view as your supposed to go towards the left). this was also quite a few years ago so i can't remember much but i do remember it being really good and the story revolving around these time squids that iirc worked similar to the cracks from the matt smith era. the place also sadly shut down probably some time before this one

[@magnumlad1001]

I went to time fracture, absolutely amazing! I loved it, and it made my brain worms go brrrr as a nerd.

[@joeyunderwood]

i never knew about the spaceship bar in the middle, that honestly sounds like the coolest part.

[@CineScarborough]

I wish they had released Time Fracture on Blu-ray as an interactive disc. Not everyone can make it down to London.

[@destinedpotato1577]

Assuming Universal Studios Bedford goes ahead something like this could work well there. I know its not a Universal property and Disney had distribution rights, but it feels right for a Theme Park like Universal to do within the UK

[@RedGamelyon]

We miss you Nathan Gibson

[@philopharynx7910]

I know - Disney could set up a distinctive hotel experience set within the Dr. Who universe. Where you travel through time and meet different people and perhaps get sent on a secret mission. I hear they even have a place that could be adapted.

[@Foxy02016]

I need more of this in America! The Disney deal shows that there’s a Whovian market in the US!

[@Redboots]

I'm so jealous that the uk gets all these cool immersive things, I'd have gone as many times as I could afford if I weren't on the other side of the world 😔

[@jnielson1121]

I had a really so-so experience. Our tickets were cancelled the 1st time due to covid, the 2nd time due to flooding but they DIDN'T TELL US so I travelled across the UK to get there only to find out when the director popped out for lunck and then the 3rd time they let us re-book tickets for when it WASN'T RUNNING... so by the time I actually got to do it on the 4th visit I wasn't feeling that enthusiastic and found it kinda OK. Overall disappointed but would definitely got to something similar if it came back.

[@DriverHenryWho3245]

This sounds absolutely amazing. Crazy to hear about the guy you met who "died", sounds sad but immersive. I would love for them to do something like this again! 😃

[@tragiclantern]

Oh man! I went to Time Fracture and took the right passage. I had no idea there was a Torchwood area!

[@william2496]

The clown guy you’re talking about is the clown from the Psychic Circus in the 7th Doctor Gods of Ragnorack episode!

[@timecontroller8800]

I am sad it ended I went to time fracture and yes it was fantastic it was a crazy journey with amazing set pieces it was an absolute ride and I loved it

[@TDM2895]

I loved doctor who experience when it was in London

[@SKprodoldacc]

Got tickets for this only for them to then have to refund them because of the floods hate that I missed it

[@ChiSbaObePcheH11]

I went 9 times in total, still have all my badges! And onee time while poking around in the entrance area I found actual maps of the building showing how things were configured 👀

[@TomMcGregor92]

Wish I could of gone seems like a fun time. Hope it does come back in some form. 🤞.

[@Jayforeman3047]

This is one of those things that makes me conflicted because as much as I would have loved to have done it, I just never had the money to do so, so it left me quite bitter not gonna lie and I didn’t feel too badly when it closed 😂

[@CardboardOracle]

I would love to see a video going through the whole of the time lord victorious multi media event

[@timrob12]

Does somehow have an upload of the full walkthrough and particulary all the video footage of the characters? Because I am very curious to see it.

[@theauthor1238]

I was originally gonna go to this attraction on my birthday in 2021, but there was a flood that occured D:

[@creepermasher]

Harbo, have you considered reviewing something like Battlestar Galactica or another series you love in the same style you reviewed Doctor Who? I appreciate your insight into modern Who and look forward to what's next!

[@nikohatbot]

i actually booked to go to time fracture and i was super excited for months and months, only for us to get there and find out the entire place had flooded the monday before and it was shut with repairs. another case of british weather ruining happiness

[@Semisonic56]

I think I remember seeing this advertised on the Tube for a while.

[@StephenMatrese]

13:30 The ood being a killer makes NO SENSE. In the episode where The Doctor Donna, it is said that "natural ood must never kill" (I might be off by a word, I haven't seen it in a while, like months)

[@SpiderBatFan]

I loved Brian the Ood when I first met him but just before he took us to his boss he said to me that we should swap names and I’ll explain to him, I went along with it but it meant I nearly got killed by his boss who was Davros! And Brian did nothing, I know it’s harsh but I’m glad to hear he’s dead now!

[@MrExplosion449]

It’s a shame that something as cool as this happened during one of the lowest points in Doctor Who’s history coz I have no doubt that the low interest in the show at the time impacted the attendance of Time Fracture

[@GeorgeFitzgerald-h4x]

Will you tell us if it does come back? As I'd love to go

[@Robert10075]

Must’ve still been early days teething problems when I went because it was a chaotic mess where I couldn’t enjoy it because actors stayed in character and didn’t answer my questions as to what the hell we were supposed to be doing Jeff Wayne’s musical version of the war world the worlds immersive experience is far better

[@vortexalliance9938]

19:05 It was stupid they took Captain Jack bit out cause of some cry babies Also it really didn't make sense why the Fugitive Doctor was there with all the doctors at the end

[@STEVEBINNION1]

Robert Dudley... really 😂

[@retrogiftsuk4812]

Now I love Doctor Who, and could get to London on a direct train, BUT the moment they used the word "immersive" I knew it was not for me. I hate that awkwardness with actors where you are expected to "join in". And even for those that like immersive theatre, they'd need to find a group of friends/relatives to go with who... A) like Doctor Who And B) like immersive theatre And C) were comfortable in venues 'post covid' (possibly wearing a mask for a long period) I'm not surprised that they struggled to get the numbers of visitors to make a profit...

[@Ibzz249]

hey i went there i hated it and it was at my peak of doctor how fanism

[@rangerzickle3350]

0:57 No wonder you're so grumpy and cynical. Do something long enough, and anyone would get jaded.
