Doctor takes the rope from Everest group. The quote, "Because it is there," is attributed to George Mallory-an English climber-who was on his third attempt to climb Mt. Everest in 1924 when he perished along with his climbing partner Andrew Irvine.

@@inspector2363 Technically false, as the doctor has visited numerous time periods at the same time as different incarnations of themself. Plus there has been a number of times where multiple incarnations of the doctor have interacted, example being when War, 10 and 11 all met for the Day of the doctor. By the logic of time travel, in any given moment there could be, and likely is, at least 2 doctors. And with the bigeneration creating a split of 14 and 15, this becomes more likely to be 3 doctors at a time. And then if the rumor about all previous incarnations of the doctor reawakening after the bigeneration is true, then there is every version of the doctor existing all together.

I think the reason he didn’t mention river is because as far as the doctor knows he’ll never see her again. She only knows his first 13 faces and their last night together was with capaldi. So by “death do us part” logic they kind of arent married anymore.

I would very much like to point out that when the question of marriage is brought up the conversation goes roughly this way: Doctor: "I live a complicated life." Anita: "Oh god, you're married, aren't you?" Doctor: "No - it's not that." What I take from this is that in this instant, the Doctor is not denying that he's married, he's denying that marriage is what makes his life complicated (whether or not he's actually married isn't answered at all). It's subtle but it's there.

[NODS] I remember reading an old SF novel decades ago that featured print-on-the-spot customised newspapers: Just tell the machine which sections you want to read, and it puts them together and prints them out, not wasting any paper. A bit different from modern reality where we read the bits of news that catch our eye straight from a screen... But if you do decide to print a story out for later reading or reference, you get *LOADS* of wasted paper along with it! =:o/

I don't think that the Sonic is controlling the wooden part of the mop. If you look, the mop has a metal ring separating the handle from the mop head. The way the mop is moving looks like it's only moving the end of it and not the handle. I think the Sonic is controlling the X and Y coordinates of the metal ring and the rest is just along for the ride.

Also, there is another reference in the "door that turns out not be a door but it's actually a portal to another time" device. Douglas Adams wrote "Shada", which was never broadcast, but bits of the story were re-used in Dirk Gently. Wasn't there a running gag about a sofa which was stuck on a stair landing (which is itself a reference to a famous maths problem), and the solution turns out to be that a Tardis had materialised on the landing, providing a door which allowed a little bit more room for the couch to get where it was going? Then the Tardis goes, the door disappears, and the couch is stuck there.

The Tardises of the 5th and 10th Doctor's merged. They separated when the 10th Doctor did what the 5th Doctor saw what the 10th Doctor did long ago for the separation.

Many more people got the Mr Benn reference than you might realise - although it was short-lived in production terms, it was repeated solidly right up to the 90s, rendering it a legendary cult show, akin to Bagpuss and The Clangers. It was released on home media and new generations saw Mr Benn and continue to see it - a friend of mine worked on an unreleased remake in the 00s and all of his work is still embargoed. The inclusion on Doctor Who has just helped further cement its popularity. For sure, niche is thankfully the wrong word and it was incredible to see it become part of the Whoniverse ❤

Absolutely, I was born in 1993 and I grew up watching Mr Benn, despite it being a good 20 years old at that point. We even read Mr Benn books in primary school. It may well not be known overseas, but if you're British Mr Benn is likely a very familiar name! I mean, my dad got the reference from watching it when it first aired, I got the reference from watching the reruns in the 90s, and my grandad got the reference from watching it with my dad when he was a child. Its probably only people born in the 2000s and onwards who might have missed out on that one!

One of the reasons I love these breakdowns is that while I notice some of these things when watching the episode for the first time, in the past I'd be pausing and rewinding to catch all the references, breaking the flow of my watch. For instance, I saw the London Blitz tour sign, but couldn't see it in detail. I saw the brochures, but couldn't catch them all. Before, I would have paused and really looked at it. But, knowing it would come up in this video, I was more able to just go "oh look, Ellie will cover it" and move on with the episode 🙂 Now I can just watch, notice, and keep going!

The Regency was part of the Georgian period, when George, Prince of Wales was regent for his ailing father, George III. After he died Prince George became George IV and the Georgian period is generally held to have ended after he died although some extend it to cover the reign of William IV. I'm sure you're right about the outfits being too early for the Regency but in terms of the periods of British history, they're an earlier part of the same period.

This was a fascinating video that was worth the longer-than-expected wait. The scene with Joy's mother and the iPad brought back memories of my mother's death. My mother was 79 when she died and had spent time in the hospital, followed by rehab in a nursing home. I knew my mom was sick, but I didn't expect her to be in danger of dying. She took a sudden turn for the worse, prompting my sister to fly from CA to NYC to visit her. She improved but died a day after my sister returned to CA. That was September 15,2019. I had no idea how fortunate it was for us to lose her then, rather than have her with us for another year only for her to die alone in a hospital where none of us were with her. That would have been a horrible way to die, and her sudden turn for the worse was a blessing in disguise. Much to my mother's disappointment, I stopped believing in God when I was 16. I so wish I believed in life after death. What I do believe is that my mother and my family were spared a terrible experience because she passed when she did. Higher power? Or just good luck? My mom was a big fan of Doctor Who from the day I showed her Blink until she died. If there is life after death, maybe she reads comment sections? No, of course not. I refuse to believe my mom would be in Hell today. I love you, Mom :-)

Wasn't the episode where the Doctor basically crashed landed with River in the Husbands Of River Song supposed to be the final time she met him before the library since she always seemed to meet with him in reverse times of each other. So I'd say that he would be considered a widow by this point since the timeline had been fulfilled unless there is a bonus meeting encounter between them. Also, he kind of has a thing with Rogue now until he decides to find him again.

18:51 I'm bothered by the lack of understanding of context. Everyone and their mother keep saying that the Doctor forgot about his marriages, especially the one with River when he said, "No, it's not that." He isn't saying he is not married. He is merely telling Anita that it's not about that. He doesn't give information about whether or not he is married.

they are multiple inns/hotels that are designed to look like Hobbit homes. Even the original set homes from the movies are available for a overnight stay. So more likely this is a door to the Movie set for to one of them homes so fans can sneak a peek at the movies being made.

The Doctor is not only married to River Song, he also was married to Queen Elisabeth the first. I think it was the Episode "Day of the Doctor" with the 10th, 11th and the War Doctor.

the mop head has a metal socket which the handle plugs into, so the sonic could be controlling the mop from that pivot point, so no need to work on wood.

Great video, I tried to find as many Easter eggs but fail miserably. I did have a surprise last night while watching a KZbin showing of the 2019 PBS special, 42nd Street the musical, I thought I recognized the actress playing Dorothy Brock, the elderly woman playing the lead in the fictional musical, but could not put a name to her, it wasn't until the end credits that it hit me. Bonnie Langford, the 1986 & 2024 cameo Dr. Who companion Mel Bush herself. Can she sing and tap dance, she was exceptional.

The TARDIS-police-box-esque door in the Time Hotel caught my attention. It looked really beat up, and I’m wondering if that is either foreshadowing something or it was a door that one could step through and see the TARDIS exploding or some of the cracks in the Universe… MAYBE Prisoner Zero is connected somehow?

I have two ideas regarding the mop the first one being that he is not controlling the wood of the mop but the metal in the mop. But to me, the most likely is that it really does control wood now. Did we all forget that in the 50th Anniversary episode, the War Doctor started the calculations, and the 10th doctor was still working on it, and the 11th Doctor's sonic screwdriver solved it? And if the 11th did not solve it, there has been many many years for it to still be working it out. Especially since 15 Sonic Screwdriver is far more sophisticated looking than the others

18:57 -- nahhh, the Doctor isn't married _anymore_ at this point in his timeline; even several incarnation earlier, with Capaldi, he would have considered himself a widower as he knows (barring considerable temporal shenanigans) that River is temporally a part of his dedicated past after their approximate 24 years together during their extended "night" (read: traveling/existing together for some years after their date at the Singing Towers, hence why her then bright and shiny new sonic was old and weathered by the time she meets up with 10 in The Library). So he's correctly noting that he isn't married because he *isn't*. He's widowered, just as he is relative to Marilyn Monroe and to whomever Susan's grandmother was (who at least gave birth to one child who was Susan's parent). In Re: Bootstrap paradoxes -- in fairness/context, it's less so that bootstrap paradoxes "don't make sense" (they don't, relative to our real-life perception and interactions with time) *but* rather exist along a measure of temporal interaction that we, as lesser temporal beings, don't perceive/interact with along the full axis of "x"s existence. Such paradoxes are interacting/occurring only when inter-temporal events are themselves skewed (such as was the case with the screwdriver in The Big Bang), or when a higher temporal being (the Doctor) is involved and has a means of sustaining/maintaining such (as is the case in this story via the time hotel and again the Doctor's higher temporal existence outside of linear time). In that regard, Moffat's still-obviously-intended-for-humor nod to it actually hold up relative to the metaphysics of the show as-presented.

Missed: When the Everest climbers caught the Doctor stealing the rope he said he took it "Because it's there" This is the famous first line of George Mallory's response to a reporter about why he wanted to climb Everest. He died on Everest in 1924 possibly having successfully summited but not making it down the mountain alive.

The phrase "you get where you need to be, not where you want to go" is a staple of former Doctor Who show runner Douglas Adams, and is the catchphrase of his character "Dirk Gently" an old friend of Professor Chronitis another retired Time Lord living on Earth. Mr Benn was played by Ray Brooks an actor with a long association with Doctor Who beginning in 1966 in the film version of Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. where he played a character named David who essentially replaced the Tom Campbell character from the original TV series who married the Doctor's granddaughter Susan and removed her from the show. (There is a Tom Campbell in the film played by Bernard Cribbins, but he is a totally different person, who romances the Doctors "Other" older Granddaughter Louise, as in the films Susan was only twelve years old) Why does the Doctor Tell Anita that he is not married? As Riversong is fond of pointing out "Rule 1, The Doctor Lies" Speaking of Anita since we now know her surname is Benn, this too could be a Moffat joke as Benn spelled with 2 n's is a derivation of an old English word which meant a grassy area, such as the one Ncuti Gatwa suggested those who did not like New Who go and touch

I don’t know if it’s meant to be an homage but the Doctor’s newspaper is similar to something that “Star Trek” has done a few times. Both the Q Continuum and Carl (a.k.a. The Guardian of Forever) had been seen with timey-wimey newspapers depicting events and changes in the timeline. Like here in DW, it’s a good way to sneak in various Easter eggs about either real world or Trek events.

11:20 I have a London themed picture on my wall that my brother got a bunch of years ago. The interesting thing is, one of the people in the background is looking right at the viewer and he looks A LOT like the 9th doctor. The hair cut, the leather jacket, the big ears, the face... an interesting similarity. It really looks like one of the photos the conspiracy theorist shows Rose Tyler. Probably a coincidence, but a really cool one, since my brother got it years before I got into Doctor Who and now the picture is on the wall in my appartement.

Pete Jacckson is such a big Dr Who fan, he has, I think, 2 original Dalek props. (he also featured briefly in the other 50th anniversary special, because Sylvester McCoy was playing Radaghast in The Hobbit at the time). - "the long way" was also in Blink. - Possible returns/cameos, Martha Jones, yes please, she rocks, the Weeping Angels, hmm, be very careful with them, don't want them to be oversaturated, the Daleks, ya know I'm curious as to which version they would use for 15, go traditional new who with the bling daleks, old school with OG daleks like with 12, try bring back the new paradigm daleks from 11 (unlikely, I assume the original props are gone by now & nobody liked them), or the black & silver version from 13, or an all new version of the daleks (please learn from the new paradigm daleks that the side profile of a dalek is basically a right angle triangle & don't give the daleks a hump)?

for the longest time i always had this episode idea in my mind that i always thought could be amazing but would likely never happen the main premise is that the doctor is a time traveller, my second idea would be i guess similar to the time turner segment of HP POA or the big bang when the doctor goes through his past and places the markers to lead to the big bang its a very likely possibilty that there are 2 versions of himself in the same general area in say london or something, i always thought it would be cool if like the doctor sees like unit vehicles going really fast one way down a street and decides to investigate only to realise a previous version of himself is already there dealing with it (this is where it could go 2 ways) the first way: the doctor is watching from a short distance trying to stay hidden and ends up discovering a secondary thing going on that he never dealt with originally and so he does it now the second way: the doctor is watching from a short distance again, however this time hes watching and notices that it isnt exactly happening the way he remembers so he starts to pull ropes and basically cause the events to happen that had already taken place the main reason i dont ever see this happening is because they would need to find an episode that it could be worked in to or make one up, but they would also need to bring back one of the doctors to stand in for certain shots that wouldnt exist otherwise
