The most shocking thing in this episode is seeing Christopher Eccleston without his leather jacket on

One of the cutest parts of the episode is the Doctor talking to baby Rose about wherever or not she plans to destroy the world later. This is the first ep where he is truly mad at her but he is never cruel.

Imagine if Vilma went back in time to save Benni...

3:23 obviously this is the Doctor-lite of the series, so Chris wasn't on set as much. During his time off, he visited his father only to find out he had been diagnosed with cancer. This aptly titled episode is very personal to Chris, one of his favourites.

I really wish the Reapers were in more episodes. They added consequence to the Doctor's adventures in a way that nothing else did.

I adore this episode, I just think it sucks how the reapers never make an appearance again in the TV show.

*uploaded on father's day*

My dad introduced me to Doctor Who back in 2005. In 2010, he left. This episode has always resonated with me because while he didn't die, it felt like he did. I've always felt an immense connection to this series because of him and especially this one. It might not be the best of Doctor Who, but for me it sure is.

Thought we’d never see the day. I’m crying more than Rose does in this.

I love it how interconnected a lot of the characters and plots were in Series 1, especially Father's Day. I hope future series will be more like this. The music in this series was also some of the greatest music composed for DW ever in my opinion.

This is the only doctor who episode that never fails to make me cry. It’s just such a simple episode but it’s just so beautiful in every way

clara: how long were you waiting for a fathers day review . me: 4 billion years

This was the episode when I was at school that all the other kids were talking about. It was extremely popular among my class mates, mainly because of the excellent Reapers.

remember when time altering problems in this show posed threats such as this and not just THE FABRIC OF TIME ITSELF IS UNRAVVELLING BECAUSE YOU PICKED UP A STONE ON THE BEACH

To this day I’m still wondering why The Reapers haven’t shown up since this...

I was expecting a Donna episode, but this... This is fine.

They should bring the reapers back, and keep them as a constant reminder not to change time. Imagine how scary they would look with the new technologies and gci

I actually like the outdated CGI. It's what gives the earlier seasons their charm.

I love that you've finally gotten around to this episode. It's one of my favourites. Looking back, this episode is why Rose is one of my favourite modern companions. The first season has her facing an existential look on her homeworld and the human race, has her face the consequences of time travel whilst leaving people behind and, in this episode, she's allowed to screw up and face the consequences which are not easy to overcome. Seriously, one of the reasons I like the Davies era companions is that they all face repercussions to time travel that are personal to them. I would say the same with Amy and Rory but their consequences were either lightened up immensely or felt like they could have been easily resolved. I could say Clara and Bill died but Clara is gallivanting off in a Tardis with Ishildr and Bill is travelling the cosmos with the crush she thought had been permanently lost with the possibility of becoming solid again not to mention 12th got a sendoff with them and Nardal. Honestly, the only one that comes close is Graham because Ryan has been more written to complain about his daddy issues than process his grief. Whilst it may seem scheming to some, honestly, time travel is a gingerbread house. Get some platinum that the conquistadors discarded from their tyranny in pursuit of gold. Last week's lottery numbers, seeing and/or saving a relative from lifelong injury/death. Next companion I think should be someone down on their luck, maybe from a group like from New York's ballroom community who can't have financial stability because of who they are and have a story arc where they steal things that are lost to get money either as an artifact or melting it down. Then, unlike Adam where he had something to go back to, there's the parole officer/teacher dynamic. Also, they could be like Ace and, honestly, that's never a bad thing.

The creature design to this day is incredible. Their first appearance in the episode gives me goosebumps.

I never noticed this until now but the road where Pete originally dies is, in fact, the same place the Tardis is sent to when the Doctor activates Emergency Programme One. Simply a reused set? Possibly. But I like to think that the Doctor did it on purpose as a gesture to Rose, a sort of thank you for being there moment.

this episode, man. I shouldn't have watched it when I was 14. Cried fountains. Since in Rose's dad, I saw my own 😢

Thank you for bringing up the horse painting! Every time I watch this episode I can’t take my eyes off it. Without even mentioning the symbolism of it it was just a bizarre piece of decoration that I was just gobsmacked by

I thought this was only exclusive to Patreons My dream has come true! ps. will support when possible

I started with doctor who midway through tenants run, I went back and watched no.9's episdoes aswell. I always liked fathers day, it was a memorable episode for me.

Harry, you are absolutely hilarious. Honestly. Your videos are spectacular, I could watch every one of them again and again, your jokes are so clever that they get me every single time! You deserve so much attention and respect and I genuinely wish you the best in the future of your channel. May the benni be with you

Can’t wait to read all the comments asking why there’s comments from 4 months ago...

Pete: who am I love? Rose: My Daddy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 such an amazing episode

4:09 when you're setting a modern episode in 87, you've gotta poke some fun at the classic show.

Damn, just been binging your videos! Perfect timing!

I knew you'd post it eventually!!!

Finally your reviewing this epi.... wait, 4 MONTHS AGO!

I feel like the way that Rose causing the small butterfly effect to time leads to the next timeline rose not being there causing both realties to be able to exist. Some odd time stuff like in that one Futurama episode where they go to the future & eventually time repeats but its done in a way that the universe is forever repeating itself.

THANK YOU SO MUCH HARRY FOR DOING THIS VIDEO

I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW I'M SO HYPE

I must say I think the (somewhat cheesy) off-screen deaths are so haunting and terrifying mainly because there’s no fanfare to them and we don’t see the reapers. The dealers are beautiful as well. Annnndddd the TARDIS being an actual police box is amazing: a place of safety that you can always rely on just gone, again, without fanfare as well as the doctors death, is all just phenomenal.

I remember my jaw dropping when the doctor was killed out of nowhere

Wow not many people pronounce my name right well done

Frick yes. I've wanted this for ages. Thank you🙏

Also, the music in this episode often plays the melody of “Someday My Prince Will Come”

Please do Midnight. It's such a unique and terrifying episode

Eccleston says "I'm the oldest thing in this church"sooo how come the reapers can eat the doctor but not destroy the church doors??

I think the bit about having the same eyes, is like the metaphor for eyes being the doorway to the soul; so instead of being the same colour, its more akin to having the same soul, or the same spark inside those eyes.

Finally been waiting for this review🎉🎉😂😂

Happy Father's Day, Harry.

Finally, Harry! On my birthday too, lol.

This was actually the first Doctor Who episode I ever saw (it was over a decade ago) and for some reason I decided to look it up which brought me here

When I saw this episode for the first time I was so surprised that the tardis was removed All of the doctors power was removed as well

You should do review of Torchwood Children of Earth

11:31 this is included for when rose is trying to get back to the doctor in parting of the ways she uses this to persuade Jackie that the doctor is a good man

I have never been more excited for a Doctor Who review!

You finally did it! 🙌🏾

Can you do a review of the curse of fatal death

The episode that I remember the most out of all the episodes.

I bet if they had the budget back then they would do something similar to when the doctor didnt die. Because the phone call and the car radio changing from 80s to modern music tells me that time just collapsed in on itself and everything is happening all at once kust like what happend to doctor 11.

LONG HAVE I WAITED

Methinks 2020 will be the year you break 100K subscribers. Well done.

I don't get why people didn't like this episode. It's incredible and had me in tears.

This is one of the very best episodes ever of Dr Who for so many reasons i cant list them all.

This is probably your best review

harry coming back at it with the GCSE english level inferences

This episode was completely awesome

One of my favourite all time doctor who stories 9/10

Thanks Jim for supporting the channel.

The day hath come.

Please do "the end of time" part 1 and 2

IT IS HERE

Have you reviewed Midnight yet?

Quotable this episode may be but noone is more memeable then the 11th Doctor over all.

In the original script, the survivors in the Church comment about using the phone to call the Police and then the scene cuts to a shot of a Police Car, doors open and blue light flashing. They also mention seeing smoke plumes but not hearing the sound of sirens.

it's about fucking time

Is it me but would time be re-written, maybe have Pete not die by a physical cause but maybe cancer or heart attack between 1987-2005?

Please do a review on doctor who voyage of the damned

So which national day do I have to wait for for your cyberman two parter?

5:06 Lol Magic fm

Does this mean you will release your other partrion exclusive reviews?

Jack told Rose stories where have I heard that before

What really makes me fed up of series 6 and upwards is the stakes are so big they don’t matter , here the doctors tardis doesn’t work because rose saves a man who was supposed to die , whereas in the 50 th anniversary they reverse gallifrey being destroyed which has no consequences whatsoever . We need Paul Cornell for series 13 😣

Think is was my first doctor who episode as a youngen

Which site do you use to download these episodes for your videos please?

Am i going mad? Did I support harry on patreon or was this on youtube before? because I know I've watched this but I dont remember being a patreon supporter. Guess i'll start supporting again to stop myself going mad

Most underrated episode ever I think

Why have you changed your name? I only just noticed. Also keep up the great work

Boom town bangs, okay

Imagine getting rickrolled by an episode of who that came out before rickrolling, It was amazing how RTD had such a meta taste in Memes.

Very timely

This is probably my favourite doctor who episode of all time

Try watching this with your two grown daughters on fathers day - fab

Purple huh, interesting detail. Was it purposeful

Thought I'd never see this video on youtube

Yesssss I love this episode :)

Long have I waited....

Here it is at last

My favourite episode

Fathers Day and the Family of Blood episodes both have the Sam feeling.

it's honestly ashame that time being set in stone wasn't a more common theme later in the show, like i remember the time travel bot that goes back to torture historical villains really dumb (and the fact river song is a more of a priority than hitler, like wtf), still though this is such a classic story where the drama is more personal than most stories.

Somehow i never noticed that little kid was mickey

You love to see it

i am just waiting for stolen earth/journeys end and the end of time, and then hopefully series 5

Are you going to review the Matt Smith era?
