BTW! I'm gonna do a Live Stream discussing the 4 Specials this Sunday, January 7 @ 2 PM Central! (google if you need your timezone)

Poor Cherry going ages without a cup of tea

If anybody wants to feel old. The actress playing Ruby Sunday was born one month before Series 1 with Christopher Eccleston started filming

You aren't alone about The Goblin Song being catchy, it made number 4 on the Christmas charts over here in the UK! Also I initially watching this wasn't too sold on it and for some reason I just wasn't clicking with 15, but having rewatched it again now with you it has massively shot up, and I am now massively vibing with 15. Though I am still very curious about the 4th wall break and who exactly Mrs Flood is. Maybe we will finally have The Rani return in Modern Who! (this will never happen it feels like a running meme at this point)

The horrified shudder you give when mentioning The Twin Dilemma is making me really look forward to that reaction 😂. I enjoyed this special a lot. We have, as you observed, a very charismatic Doctor, possibly the catchiest song about eating babies ever, and just the right amount of Christmas stuff. I like Ruby, as well, as long as she doesn't take her love to town.

Davina McCall is a real person. She played herself in the episode.

I love that you was not phased by the fact Mrs Flood knows what a Tardis is lol

Proceeds of the baby eating song ironically went to Children In Need.

Gerald Flood was the voice of robot companion Kamelion in the original series, so obviously Mrs Flood is a re-built Kamelion taking the form of the next door neighbour to watch over Ruby growing up. Obviously.

And yes the goblin song is available on Spotify and iTunes

I was thinking it was strange that neither you nor Blindwave had done a reaction to Xmas special yet and then they both drop on the same day 😅 Also 3:33 aww thats cute that you don't think that no ones gonna complain about something that happens in Doctor Who lol

I love how S14/S1 will have three soap actors: Millie Gibson (Ruby) from Coronation Street, Angela Wynter (Cherry) and Anita Dobson (Mrs Flood) from EastEnders.

Looks like mavity is staying for the time being.

"So call tomorrow". RIGHT!? That would be my mom's birthday, the 23rd... and I'm an orphan... Huh, what a coincidence.

To be fair he is actually called "The Toymaker" Celestial is a description.

"It's stupid that they had New Year's specials" says man watching special on New Year's Day.🤪

The names of the first companions of both RTD eras start with R and have 4 Letters

My head cannon is that when we saw P. Troughton regenerating, his face all distorting, he was bi-generating into Pertwee, and also his continued face, which went on to continue in the 3 doctors, 5 doctors, and 2 doctors, ( and working for the time lords in a series 6B ), then when his time was up he became " The Watcher " and reunited with the Doctor

I saw that the fresh new Season 1 is starting May 2024.

I agree, I would still say that Rose is a good jumping on point for the series for new viewers, with An Unearthly Child for the classic era once they have caught up. My personal recommendations for potential good mid-way jumping on points would be: Spearhead from Space; Robot; Castrovalva; The Eleventh Hour; or The Church on Ruby Road.

Oh! That "new Year, new Who, spring 2024" moment is only on Disney not iPlayer

I Like 15, he's a bit like 9 but without all the time war trauma.

12:59 ~ 🎵🎶

I believe 14 stay but as someone said it is like a universe doctor and like all doctors before got to live out their lives in another universe Also I watching the boom one sometime but not barbie (I forgot how to spell name with O of movie)

Dad reacts to The Church on Ruby Road? Now? Gimme? Please? I need.

Love ncutis Scottish accent

I almost laughed when you started your reaction on practically the same point as what Harbo Wholmes made in his video, 'This Doctor Who Rebrand is a Mess.'

You should react to the series 14/season 1 trailer.

Hi Alex, from 7th Hour Films. Great reaction as always, but the one thing that keeps on niggling at me because of my OCD are the dents/holes in your wall. They keep distracting me from your reaction videos, if at all possible Could you please fill them in with Polyfilla. My OCD and I would be so grateful. Steve.

It was the BBC's decision to switch to the new year specials. RTD demanded them back.

15 just so reminds me of 9 so far so good

Pond - River - Flood?

Why start with Eccleston? Dr Who had been running for decades at that point. Also, I'm 100% willing to defend Chibnall on the Christmas episodes. Chibnall took a massive chance addressing ALL of the big complaints from the fanbase when he took over. The big complaints about Moffat were that the episodes were too interconnected, too dependent on core monsters, and too cerebral. They complained about Christmas specials having become boring and silly. They complained about the pacing of episodes and split seasons and which night it aired. Chibnall took ALL of those complaints and addressed them with series 11. And the same fans who had bitched before.... Still bitched.

I prefer Deep Breath. More serious and mature in tone. This is a goofy, Cheesy, Silly Disneyfied version of Doctor Who. I’m not comfortable with the Doctor being all about good looks as he’s supposed to be a different type of hero and not your generic handsome heroic type. I hate seeing the Doctor become flirtatious like the awful 10th Doctor so I hope RTD doesn’t go there but I bet he will since he’s never fully understood the Doctor’s character. After the terrible Bi-Generation nonsense this is just average. If the Doctor can’t lose his body and modern Who companions never seem to die or if they do get resurrected then there’s no jeopardy anymore or consequences. Id give this 5/10. Nice reaction.

It's no longer Season 14 it's been rebranded back to Season 1 Classic Who (1963-1989) New Who (2005-2022) and Disney Who (2023-). Ncuti Gatwa is the first actor to be born post Classic era of the Doctor and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) only 1 years old when NuWho came back in 2005 this is definately a show aimed for the z generation. I'm a great supporter of the Jodie Whittaker era and I'm glad Chris Chibnall took risks as a showrunner I will say he made the old villains awesome again such as The Master, The Sontarans, The Cybermen and The Daleks and Swarm and Azure from "Flux" where interesting villains as well but the stories weren't well written I didn't like The Timeless Child that didn't need to happen really it's called "Dr. Who" for a reason and it takes the mystery away from the character now granted I'm not saying RTD should erase his friend Chibnall's work but he should had just ignored it and not brought it up like he did with the half human thing from the 1996 television movie as far as I'm concerned The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey travelling in a box that's it that's all we need to know i do think RTD is keeping this just to piss off the conservatives of the fandom as it was very toxic during the Jodie Whittaker era but I don't want to know about The Doctor's background etc etc I just want them to get on with the story. Just on the Doctor's family we don't know if he actually did have a family or not that's never been confirmed or denied we don't know if he had a wife or kids Susan could be his adopted grandchild for all we know then again she could be his real grandchild, all we know is he has a granddaughter and that he's been a father before. It's never been confirmed if 14 does down the line regenerate into 15 it's just a fan theory some say he ends up being the curator which also would make alot of sense but RTD has never confirmed this. I'm also surprised that it's crossed your mind about how Mrs. Flood knows what a TARDIS is how does she know the name? My theory is she's a Time Lord. I disagree with you about the Beep the Meep and the Adipose not being cute but I do agree about the goblins not being so cute so much although I thought Janis Goblin the lead singing Goblin was cute weirdly, I never thought in a million years we would see The Doctor and his companion go all musical the goblins were also real people in costumes even though it looked CGI the Goblin King was practical effects. Davina McCall is also a real person playing herself she is huge in the UK the show she's doing with Ruby about her real parents is a show she does in real life.

My Xmas day was March 13 when I watch the hdd recording, as I was away for Xmas. Mrs Flood is played by Anita, Lady May (born 29 April 1949), known as Anita Dobson, an English stage, film and television actress, and singer. You might know her husband as now Sir Brian May PhD in astrophysics, lead guitarist of Queen. After listening to your break down of the presentation I was drunk, you know why, if you don't know Brits tend to take the piss, extract the urine out of our friends. Out of the half dozen reactions I have watched you were the only one who predicted like me, what looked suspiciously like Jabba the Hutt being made into a Shish kebab/gyro. Gyros, sometimes anglicized as a gyro[2][3][4] (/ˈjɪəroʊ, ˈdʒɪər-, ˈdʒaɪr-/; Greek: γύρος, romanized: yíros/gyros, lit. 'turn', pronounced [ˈʝiros]) in some regions, is meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, then sliced and served wrapped or stuffed in pita bread, along with other ingredients such as tomato, onion, fried potatoes, and tzatziki. In Greece, it is normally made with pork[5] or sometimes with chicken, whilst beef and lamb are also used in other countries.[6] Gyros is made in a similar manner to other dishes such as the Arab shawarma, Canadian donair, Mexican al pastor, and the Turkish Döner kebab.[7] Wikipedia.
