That cafe scene is such a poignant raw bit of emotion in the middle of the epic story. We often get to see the Doctor cheerful, angry, curious, nervous - but never vulnerable, not like that. I love how it's with Wilf of all people; he's always brilliant, and it's a little reminder of how very old the Doctor is.

This two parter was the most hyped thing ever when I was a kid. Also these two partners blew our minds and made us all cry.

“People have waited hundreds of years to find me,” like Captain Jack!!

"Wibbely-wobbley-timey-wimey" "That can't always be the answer!" - Paula, after 4+ seasons do you really believe that? ;)

The Master's new "super powers" are weird and not very well explained, but the saving grace of this episode is the interactions between the Doctor and Wilf and the presence of Timothy Dalton. Great reaction as always. Can't wait for part two!

That diner scene is absolutely one of Tennant’s finest moments on Who. And, I just like it when Doctors cry, I’m kinda funny that way.

"But..but how?" 🎶 "oooh...Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.." 🎵

Bernard Cribbins was in the 2nd 60s theater movie 40 years previous

Well, what do ya know: James Bond as a Timelord!!

Super weird going back to this episode and now recognizing David Harewood (Martian Manhunter from Supergirl) as the rich dude.

"I can do an American accent" that news anchor woman actually is American lol.

3:07 Voldemort? Oh Paula, your youth is showing. He's clearly Ming the Merciless. Has the ring and everything. ;)

That diner scene with Wilfred and the Doctor!!! 😭😭😭

The diner scene. Obviously, Wilfred didn't mean any harm, but what he did was the equivalent of waving some crack in front of an addict who's trying to recover. It was unintentional cruelty at its most heart-wrenching.

Part 2 needs to be released immediately

Next part makes me cry every single time. All i say is " I Don't Want to go"

Wilf makes everyone cry. It's automatic. But as much as he made you cry in part 1, you'll gush tears during part 2.

This two-parter has such amazing, emotional scenes between David Tennant and Bernard Cribbins. They have such amazing chemistry, I wish they had more adventures together. As for The Master, I actually hated the OTT manic way he was, as the Master was a lot more subtle in classic adventures. But anyway, I seriously look forward to seeing you react to the next part.

What a perfect Christmas present Bernard& David gave us. Music supplied by Murray Gold a bonus A treat to come back too

It's coming. It is returning through the dark. The moment Paula when realizes what "He will knock four times." really means....

oh god oh god here we go. Flood warning with significant increase incoming :P

The thing with John Simm is this: he's willing to do *literally anything* on screen.

When the Master sends out the ring of power from the machine, if you pause it at the right moment, you can see that the ring is made up of Master faces - a lovely bit of work from the CGI department, and one that no one would notice unless someone told them to look out for it - which is how I know about it.

"Sssshimmer"

The annoying thing is that we’ve got to wait another week before we see the reaction to part 2 😡

One of the cacti is Nina from Bring Human (UK) which would be a great BBC show for somebody to react to at some point but nobody does 😭

I remember hearing in a Doctor Who confidential that John Simm couldn’t watch this episode Because there was too much him in it. He said that there were extras wearing masks of his face for the wider shots, and it made him a little uncomfortable to see so much of him. I can definitely see why.

Gotta say, i love the fact that you think the american newsreader's accent is fake, when she's played by an American actress. :D

Jesus I can only imagine how much Katrina and Paula ( especially Paula) is gonna cry over Tennants regeneration

"I did my duty (in Palestine after WW2)." "You never killed a man." "No, I didn't. No, I-I-I did not, no but... *don't say that like it's shameful!"* And the best part is it's true of both Wilfred *and* Bernard. Rest in Power, old soldier. 🫡🥲

All I'm gonna say about the next episode... The final twist is like an old friend twisting an unexpected knife in your gut... I doubt Paula it's ready for it

Lachele Carl, who played Trinity Wells, the AMNN news anchor, is American and therefore capable of doing an accurate American accent - or at least one of the many American accents - though there's also the possibility that they asked her to do a stereotypical American accent to British ears!

Interesting factoid, the reason Wilf wears a Parachute Regiment badge in his hat is because Bernard Cribbins who plays him, actually served in the Parachute Regiment in 1947. Loving your reactions ladies, always such fun ☺

I love how the Doctor spends so much time hanging around 21st Century London and is still confused when he runs into familiar faces.

David Tennant named his son Wilfred🥰

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! And then we get to see the NEXT episode! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! So many great moments in this episode. They really mastered dramatic timing and beats in this two-parter. That moment when the master is knocking the pipe on the trash can 4 times, 4 times in a row. Dramatic beats, plus true music. And now I have to wait a week!?!?!? I don’t know how I’m gonna survive.

Doc: I'm going to die... Wilf: So am I, one day. Doc: Don't you dare. Wilf: Ok, I'll try not to. :(

Paula will never see it coming....and she is not ready...nobody is ever ready for what comes next

Good Queen Beth, well she isn't called...ahem! When you realise this is after a certain episode but you never knew!

11:40 the funny thing is, the actress IS actually American 😭😂

Uuugghhhh...that diner scene...THE FEELS!!!! 😢😢😢

Kat you're such an empath. You keep setting me of when you cry x

You know someone had to have seen "master race" in a history book or something and thought "Hey how can we make it so there is an entire race of The Master just so he can say Master race?"

Loved the reactions from both of you on this Part 1. Already buckling up for next weeks conclusion......

You guys are my favorite Doctor Who and ST:TNG channel. If you really want to see David Tennant at his evil best, make sure to catch the first season of Jessica Jones.

I love the wibbly wobbly timey whimey song!!!

If you haven't seen Tennant in Good Omens then you should!

Yay!!! We Watch Who!!! The diner scene kills me every time! Any time The Doctor gets emotional I cry. If he’s crying and emotional, I’m most definitely sobbing. But I can’t wait for We Watch Who! Oh god, I just realized what comes next... Welp, good luck!

I remember The Master when Delgado and Ainley played him, and this unhinged (and as you said, kooky) take on him is so different to the classic "moustache twirling" baddie type that we used to have.. but his energy kinda mirrors The Doctor so it works!

I'm so scared for the next one, aaaaaaa

The face of 10 on Kat's shirt looks like a mix between David Tennant, Peter Davison and Eric Bana.

So here we are at the end of time. Very excited for this reaction and also part 2. Speaking of Star Trek and doctor who. Did any of you read the Star Trek doctor who crossover graphic novel?

Been holding off on watching this so I can watch both together but I couldn't wait. I got to see these two episodes in the theaters last year💙

Been waiting for this one. Better have my spare tissues ready...

I've been putting off watching this but I saw part 2 is up. So I'm not giving spoilers when I say I know how this is going to end. I don't know if I'm emotionally prepared to go through this again but this time with you two. I almost want to watch this part one and say to myself "And Paula and Katrina lived happily ever after!" And not watch the next part. If you see me commenting on part 2 you'll know if I caved or not.

This first part is fine. It serves it's purpose as a set up for TEOT part 2 well enough. It feels a bit like filler though and it makes me wish this story wasn't split in half at all. It wasn't really needed because aside from the scenes with Wilf and few of the other plot heavy bits, nothing else really happened. All of the important bits from TEOT part 1 could be condensed down to about 25 minutes. What they should've done is aired a 90 minute special on Christmas day instead. The 2nd part is really good though and I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh boy..this is gonna be one heck of a ride.

whatever else you might think of the episode, that cliffhanger/reveal for me remains one of the best in all of television, right up there with then ending of Best of Both Worlds Part 1 (By the way, when you get to that TNG episode, please don't use the bluray version that puts both parts together, it kinda ruins the buildup in my opinion)

Why did we never get a spinoff of Wilf and Minnie's pensioner bus gang? XD

Was really hoping both parts would be done at once haha, oh well... ugh, knowing what’s coming, but ready to see the reaction to it

I am so looking forward to the day when the two of you see Classic Doctor Who episodes with the Master. If you think Sims' portrayal is interesting...you ain't seen nothing yet. 😀

Love your videos, having one newb and one fan who has seen these episodes makes it so great!

You should try life on Mars uk with John Simm. He left this show to do Doctor Who as he is a massive fan.

Here come the drums!! And the curls are back 😉👍🏻

For most of his run as the Doctor, I found that David Tenant was really good at the quirky/happy/light-hearted things, but deeper emotions were portrayed as angry shouting matches and it did not sit well with me. But my god, when he let himself (or he was aloud) to show despair and heartbreak like here or in The Human Nature/Family of Blood and a couple of other episodes, he is amazing!!

10:50 hey, missy, you so fine...

sadd and miss the old pappy WILFRED-MOTT

Oh I remember the hype for the next episode. And everyone’s shock about the time lords

Wotcha ladies! Nice reaction - but Paula, regarding the next episode check out Julius Caesar Act 3 Scene 2 line 181.

Will always be the saddest episode of doctor who for me

If you like Wilf ( Bernard Cribbins ) you should watch the film "The Railway Children". P.S. Have a box of tissues handy if you do.

Lord, Time Lord.

Thank you for the who uploads!!! I've been enjoying them! You two are awesome

This is it!!

Hey guys!

It's so weird seeing J'onn J'onzz from Supergirl have a english accent.. obviously I watched this long before Supergirl came on but I never made the connection that Paul Harewood was in both until i watched your reaction.

Time Lords might be smart but they still spit when they talk! lmao why didn't they edit that out?

This is all well and good, but over on patreon can y’all keep that next part to yourselves today? 😭😭😭 I’m not ready for this era to be over 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Watching you two getting emotional, just wait till part 2. The waterworks will be working overtime! Gotta say, part 1 is the weakest part of the two-parter, but the interactions between the Doctor and Wilfred and the shimmer scene make up for it.

This two parter is so face palmy XD But we're closing in on the eleventh hour. Woop!

Is it next week yet?

This week is gonna be so long xd

I understand that the Master is burning up his life force, but why all the jumping around like a grasshopper?

This episode was great as a kid...but it is a pretty stupid story in retrospect, lmao. But the cliffhanger and part two are genuinely great, and I cannot wait for them!

If you need another show watch 12 🐒 is awesome show

Are you really gonna make us wait another week for the next one? Now that's just cruel!

11th Doctor is my fave, so far this has been great but I'm looking forward to reactions to his story, hope you keep going 😁👮‍♀️🍎

I did so not like this part 1. Look forward to next part though. That is brilliant

Your both always wearing the same clothes, are u bing watching all the specials?😂

good reaction as always but really do not enjoy this episode at all. almost terrible without good wilf to redeem. next part is better but still only barely gets into good area.
