Gah! Poor Martha. Watching him fall in love with a snooty nurse, all the while trying watch out for him and his secrets. I felt so bad for her.

[@TotinosPizzaRollz]

I loved this scene because it was the first time New Who acknowledged Paul McGann's 8th Doctor, by putting his picture in the journal. Up until that point fans weren't sure if the 8th Doctor would still be considered canon in the New Who universe.

[@assassinxex]

TotinosPizzaRollz besides the fact he says he is the tenth not the ninth (ok ok I know the war doctor but shhh) I did love the fact he included eighth because he is great even if the movie isn't great

[@interwebgamer2376]

TotinosPizzaRollz I didn't know this.

[@TotinosPizzaRollz]

I remember how excited we were in '96 when it was announced that Dr. Who was coming back! And it was going to be an American TV movie, and then possibly an ongoing series! We were crushed when the movie bombed in the ratings. In retrospect it probably was confusing for the American audience to understand what was going on with regenerations and the Tardis. Only us die hards watching classic Who on PBS were really familiar with the Doctor's history.

[@Silverwind87]

I think he had the least amount of screen time of the Doctors.

[@joevictor53]

I remember I got excited at that moment. I wasn't even a fan of classic Who. I was too young for the movie and wasn't even alive for any of the episodes before that. But I was excited to see such a direct reference to the older series

[@JonathanToolonie]

Poor Martha. Really, she deserved better.

[@yo19951O9rk]

Well she got Mickey

[@Reprodestruxion]

JonathanToolonie maybe if Edris Elba becomes The Doctor

[@JTCano42]

Too tough for my liking, honestly. I think he would fit The Master more than The Doctor. For The Doctor, I'd go more for Chiwetel Ejiofor. Though his name would have to have a li'l bit longer screen time on the opening for people to actually be able to read it properly. XD

[@z00ts00t77]

That's a brilliant suggestion, Idris Elba would be perfect as the master.

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

This is my favourite Tennant story, cause he spends most of the story not playing the doctor and constantly denying he's the doctor

[@joansmith69]

Lol, it's not RTD though, It's Paul Cornell, and written as a novel with the Seventh Doctor originally, before the reboot. A lot of people like TMA and WF, but they're not quite on par with this in my opinion. And believe me, I'm trying to defend "Sleep No More" as a great episode, so you could say I'm liking series 9.

[@MsSharondenadel]

Only narrow minded viewers hate the last seasons and the last doctor.

[@KatieRuby]

These episodes showed just how good David Tennant was. John Smith was a totally different character, I felt for him and the part in the second episode where the Doctor came back was just brilliant!

[@SeralinaFilms]

The pain to the fans of him casually being like "Oh, I made up this Rose character... seems to disappear later on." UGH WHY GIVE ME THIS SORROW

[@benoitassouekotto_7387]

Always find it fascinating how this story came from a 1990s doctor who book with the 7th doctor.

[@jadenbryant9283]

I wonder what the differences were

[@gabrielandriel8960]

@@jadenbryant9283 It comes down to the difference between the doctors, 10th is way more human than 7th, and his Jonh Smith also is.

[@The8thDOCTOR]

Strange little fact about this episode, right up until it was broadcast in 2007, there were many Whovians that didn't take Paul McGann's 8th Doctor as Cannon. They discounted him as an American invention despite what a terrific job he did in the role Forums such as Outpost Gallifrey often had thread wars about it. Thankfully the picture @02:25 put an end to the division, once and for all.

[@metalicscraping2799]

something weird happened with regeneration due to the gunshot surgery.

[@TheMagicDragonHD]

The half human point was explained in the EDA's and the Eye of Harmoney is not the actual Eye of Harmony but more like a link to the actual eye of harmony to the one on gallifrey.

[@Mr.LaughingDuck]

Yes, we get it. The Doctor subconsciously recalling his past incarnations just like how the fans are recalling the last seasons from *OVER* 12 months ago. We want the 10th Doctor almost as much as we want the 10th Series. Now give us Series 10, or else _silence shall fall_ on Doctor Who.

G_Man The 1st episode is going to be on the 15th of April, and I'm afraid we can't actually change that at all.

[@k2cr]

If series 10 is to the same standard as the previous, all my faith in Moffat will be gone, I have very little for him anymore...

[@Comet12864]

The trouble with Moffat is that when he gets an episode right, he really nails it. But it leaves the rest of his 'not-so-good' episodes seeming bad in comparison. Or at least, that's my opinion, anyway. When I've gone back and re-watched some older Moffat episodes, I realise that on their own, they're not so bad. But when compared to others in the series, they seem much worse. Moffat has his strengths, but his fatal weakness is that he's terribly inconsistent. People are always gonna compare his best to his worst.

[@Mr.LaughingDuck]

Honestly, I just couldn't stand Clara "Look at me I'm so Perfect" Oswald. I tried liking her as a character, but everything just felt so artificial with her giving this very uncanny valley feel in her performances. For me, I liked the Clara-lite episodes of Season 9.

It'd be good if they could return to the Family, they were some of the best villains in Doctor Who.

[@DanteCorwyn]

I know what you mean about the Weeping Angels, they're overused now. Though with the angels, they've just got their nasty agenda of eating people. The Family wanted to live forever (can't remember their motivations other than that), but they could easily change as characters after their imprisonment. And it's been about 10 years since they were on the show, having them appear just once more Random story idea, the Doctor needs to track something down, but it keeps on evading him, and he reluctantly decides he needs the best trackers around. He offer's Father of Mine a deal (visiting him ten years after he was locked up), he'd be reunited with the others and left on a planet to live out their lives, in return for his aid. Two hostile characters team up, we see two different sides to both of them, and we get an interesting story.

[@Brione30]

DanteCorwyn Well, they definitely deserve more that just two episodes

[@josholiver4436]

I think this was the first time in the modern series of Doctor Who that we actually saw previous incarnations of The Doctor from the classic series EDIT: Looking at the scene at 2:26 I'm trying to figure out which Doctors are shown.

I think it's 5th below the 1st and 6th below the 7th
