TURN LEFT!!!!! | Doctor Who - Season 4 Episode 11 (REACTION) 4x11

[@Dragonflynoire10]

This season was just flawless for me. Fun fact, if you go back and watch episode 2 "The Fires Of Pompeii", one of the psychics tells Donna "There's something on your back."

[@ym10up]

Oh I totally didn't know this! Nice

[@QuisletEsq]

A lot of the episodes in this series had Eater eggs to future episodes. In Partners in Crime, the taxi that runs over some of the Antipods (sp?) had an Atmos sticker on the windshield.

Fun fact : one of the oracles in the fires of pompeii tells Donna "there's something on your back"

[@Gfreak250]

Fun fact about this episode, the Fortune Teller is played by Chipo Chung. That may not seem significant until you realize that this is her second appearance in the series. Originally, she played Professor Yana's assistant, Chantho in the episode Utopia. Meaning she has played important characters in the beginnings of two 3-Part series finales.

"Donna is so special and I love her so much." My thoughts exactly. Donna is my very favorite companion, and this particular episode showcases why. Even the (seemingly) most ordinary person can have a huge impact on the world. This resonated hugely with me when I first watched it, and it still does 10+ years later.

The Scene where Donna's mother is just sitting down, staring at nothing blankly as Donna walks in and says she wasn't fit enough to get a job and that she should have studied harder...and then says she guesses she's always been a disappointment and the way the mother just goes "Yeah...I guess you're right." is so sad, just utter hopelessness, you know there's no hope when Donna's mother isn't even trying to berate her anymore.

[@Look_Over_There]

Totally agree it also shows for all her bluster, however hard faced her mother was to her and overbearing/ putting her down Donna was stronger in the end because she dug deep and did what she had to do to save everyone she was willing to literally die. Love her.

[@RedCaio]

Donna’s mom is a pile of trash. What an awful person.

[@BrightNeonBrilliancy]

This episode always gets me. I'm a huge Rose fan, and her and Donna together are brilliant. I remember the anticipation that scene where Donna is slowly remembering, and the look on The Doctor's face when he was realizing who Donna was talking about. CHILLS.

[@joepegel]

Everybody, and I mean everybody, acted their asses off in this episode. Especially Katherine Tate. BTW, Katherine Tate is a classically trained Shakespearean actor who was actually with the Royal Shakespeare Company for a very short while. She stumbled into standup comedy while in acting school and from there went into sketch comedy, which she became famous for. So it makes sense that she's so so good in this show, balancing the humor and the drama.

[@daved2352]

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I thought she was a comedian who had great dramatic chops cos that's so often the case with great comedians.

[@Engiflux]

Season 4 is a banger of a season. There are multiple great episodes back to back.

[@fireflieswishes]

it was a magical time

[@Ostermond]

Was just searching for Turn Left reactions cos I can’t get enough of people losing their minds at _the two words._ Hope you enjoy the S4 Finale!

[@АнастасияАгаркина-й3э]

The ending of this episode, my gosh… It was so, so brilliantly suspenseful, and I love that they didn’t reveal her as Rose, but as Bad Wolf) And you are left to guess, whether Rose remembered something from season 1, or whether maybe it was the Bad Wolf’s plan all along, because back then she could see everything, including the future, and she led herself where she needed to be… Also, the fortune teller is the chan tho actress from season 3))) They do that sometimes in DW, hire the same actors for different roles, and it’s cool)

[@jennifermorris6848]

Right? Because some point out the accent isn’t right. It isn’t Rose it is Bad Wolf.

[@Sinsayso113]

Yea this is definitely my favourite episode. Family of blood second favorite

[@lpeterson2336]

​@Jennifer Morris I always wondered why she got really lispy or esssy lol when she came into this season.

[@Ems001]

⁠@@lpeterson2336 I think billie piper had to get some dental work done so I guess it would be harder to try and do an accent when you’re not used to having a different set of teeth

[@Look_Over_There]

So basically Donna listening to her mums put downs ruins the whole world for everyone, thanks Sylvia 😂

[@obiwankenobi687]

I’d love to see Rose in her parallel earth getting this Donna mission. “Right so there’s going to be a giant spider, rhinos and then I have to persuade Donna to get out of London because there’s going to be a what sorry? A replica of the titanic is going to fall out of the sky? Right ok then”

[@monkfan72]

In The Fires of Pompeii, the Chief Augur told Donna that there was something on her back.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

The actress playing the fortune teller is the same actress that played Chan-Tho in the Series 3 three-part finale

[@allenpayne927]

I think this episode is what made Donna my favorite companion out of the whole show. Catherine Tates acting was just phenomenal this episode

[@talesyuki]

Another one of my favorites. I've watched several times, but it always gets me. There I was, crying again. Damn. Donna

[@talesyuki]

I was still mid-watch during that comment. Now that I'm done: your reactions only made it better xD

[@mjm3091]

This really is one of the best episodes in the franchise. It had stellar performance from every single Noble family member. It had a cameo from actress who already played in Doctor Who (Chipo Chung), it had strong time-loop dilemma and it was perfect opening to the end of the reality itself.

[@Hanmacx]

Rip Bernard cribbins, hope to see you in the 60th

[@daved2352]

I can't watch this episode without tearing up when Wilf says "they said it was labour camps last time"

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

The fact he only said or did little things like that made those moments incredibly powerful since we already knew his back story. It was brilliant scripting and showed us more of his character as well.

[@EnbyyEnvyy]

the next episodes were THE tv "event" of my childhood! No matter how much i watch this arc i just love it so much

[@mlee6050]

Love how you get so hyped you stand up

[@efferal]

OMG, I’ve been looking forward to you reaction to this episode. It’s my favorite epidode of all the Doctor Who since the reboot . The next two are so good

[@katearcher8514]

Labour camp gets me every time.

[@ДмитрийАлександров-у2ь]

I think this is my favourite Russel T Davies episode. So wonderful!

[@thearchive1132]

This was a fantastic reaction as always. Your enthusiasm really is infectious. Great stuff, fella 😁 I started re watching series 4 because of these reactions. There are so many fantastic episodes here. I forgot how heart breaking Turn Left was. That relentless negativity Donna gets from her mum; you really see in this episode how that's impacted Donna's feelings of self worth.

[@ZeldaKAnderson]

This episode always gives me goosebumps!

[@vandergrad]

Your reactions bring back all the feels I felt the first time I saw these episodes!!! Keep up the good work!

[@lostwizard]

This is probably the best "what if?" story. Not only do the consequences of the Doctor not being present to stop various disasters accumulate each on top of the previous, but they even take into account that the UK was no longer the best target for the Adipose, and that the other teams operating on Earth would intervene where they could. And we see them do so in the background, in sequence, and at great cost. And it's all presented with intense gravitas, even during the parts that would ordinarily be funny.

[@williamclaybrook4182]

I literally just cant wait till you see some more. Its so awesome watching someone react to my favorite tv show.

[@piper998877]

This episode rewarded fans who were watching all three shows, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures, and Torchwood.

[@phtevenj]

This episode is such an epic one i LOVE it...it shows just how important Donna is to the Doctor and the world... of course the next 2 are as well so.... also i loved the double take when you saw Billie piper in the credits

[@UserName-vb4lg]

I’ve been waiting for this one. Season 4 is just ridiculously good, Donna is the best and they just get better and better. Can’t wait to see the next bunch.

[@neilfreedman2537]

A wonderful, outstanding reaction to one of my top three episodes of New Who. I adore this episode, the feels! What a series. I couldn't pick an MVP because the acting is so good, Rose, Donna, Bernard Cribbins bringing the feels, and even Donna's mum is superbly acted in this. Glorious.

[@deadringerrr]

This entire episode is a fucking gut punch.

[@mikalmos369]

I've seen every single episode of Doctor Who or at least listened to to them in the case of the ones that are missing, at least two or three times and many episodes many more times than that over the entire 60 years of the show and "Turn Left" by far remains my favorite episode to this day. It firmly cemented Donna Noble as my all time favorite traveling companion of the Doctor.

[@blanketsquares7607]

ROSEEEEEEE

[@AhsokaTanoTheWhite]

I think I found your channel at the perfect point in time. It must have been Time Lord magic.

[@Kian2002]

Easily one of the best episodes of any Dr Who series as it told millions how important a single person can be through the simplest and most mundane of decisions: each of us can change the world for better or worse through our choices. And it's rare in that its a companion only driven story, with only "Blink" being like it, as the Doctor isn't the central driver of the story; this cements Catherine Tate as truly great actress if she can get the script to allow her to shine.

[@morgangoodwin5488]

Katherine Tate is brilliant and definitely a fan fav companion!!! Love that we get a doctor centric episode and a Donna centric episode back to back! Shows such amazing range for David and Katherine to hold it down!

This, and the last one ("Midnight"): THE best Doctor/Companion-lite, respectively, episodes ever. SO good! In my opinion anyway. Glad you enjoyed. :)

[@joerosenman3480]

Jay, you were so invested in this episode! For a while I thought we members might have to form a Bad Wolf pack, charge through time & your computer screen, and give you a group comfort hug as each prevented tragedy came to fruition. This episode did leave the question (kind of answered later): why did this fortune teller single Donna out? How did she know Donna would be there? Apropos your energetic reactions, you are one of a select handful of reactors I follow-there’s another that is as laidback as you are excited. He’s considerably newer so has less content but there’s some parallel including shows I enjoy-like DW. It’s a fun contrast. I wouldn’t want to lose either of you; it’s the quality and authenticity I come for and appreciate (this isn’t a criticism of those who prefer a different style though I wonder why they chose to say something rather than than just quietly leave and go to a place that suited them better-but absent evidence of bad intent I’d just chalk it up to inexperience).

[@carolinehirst4921]

Turn Left is just such a great episode and then it leads into The Stolen Earth (Dr Who equivalent to the Avengers) where all the shows come together.

[@robertcartier5088]

I've seen this one dozens of times... I still can't handle it! lol A truly brilliant episode! I love that it's only this good if you've seen it all. It is not a stand-alone great episode that one can recommend to a newbie, like Blink, for instance. All that is significant about it is rooted in knowing why this is all so very heartbreaking. To me, this and the next two are sort of a trilogy of awesomeness! If your chair has a seatbelt, put it on, now! ;-]

Glad you enjoyed the episode it is my third favourite new who episode. We passed the peak with Turn Left. If you have time watch the next two parter together. Gteat reaction. The last two episodes perhaps get too big but classic who fans are in for a treat when an iconic character appears.
