Gabriel Woolf (voice of the Beast) has one of the most calmly powerful and intimidating voices I've ever heard. He's made for roles like this.

Fun fact: when these particular two-parter episodes first released, the date 06/06/06 passed in the week between them airing 👀

“That thing’s demonic!” I applaud your choice of words

You won't know how timely this reaction is until you are literally caught up with the rest of us at this very moment, at which point you will have forgotten all about it and we will remind you. 😂

This is hands down one of my favourite stories, I really love when doctor who does horror

Current up to date Doctor Who fans watching the intro where the TARDIS is groaning and getting PTSD.

Oh... You're watching a Gabriel Woolf's story too...

The Ood are one of my favourite Dr Who races

Scootys death has to be one of the most scary and could happen to a lot astronauts (minus the black hole) like being dragged out into space and with no oxygen just happening in a instant. Interestingly enough they filmed that part underwater

I won't go into why, but this is well timed.

I completely forgot the TARDIS made that groaning noise when they met the Beast......

These are two of my favorite Tennant episodes.

It's implied that the beast was in part hiding inside those marked vase pieces. And when the drill was deep enough, it tried to drive the crew and ood into a state of fear to manipulate them. It interfered with audio signals and eventually took possession of Toby. Toby unknowingly invited it in by turning around. And through Toby, the beast started to try to break the ood even further. The ood are telepatic, so by speaking to just one through telepathy, it could reach all of them. When it reached level 100, it basically screamed at them at such a high frequency that their brains went numb, making them easier to possess as well

"THESE ARE THE WORDS OF THE BEAST!"

Really digging the rate you are uploading these episodes.

I think Rose only panics when the doctor does. She has such confidence in him that sometimes she doesn't think things are dangerous when they are. Cause he'll always come through for her. And he really only gets irate when she's in danger. I love them

It's so refreshing to see a reaction channel uploading more than 1 Doctor Who episode a week! ❤

*He bathes in the black sun*

This episode scarred me as a child😭

THANKS for this, Emme!!!! (The TARDIS is sick?!? Boy, did you time this posting right!!!! :) ) Yeah, you haven't seen an angry Ten yet, but you will one day real soon....You know when somebody gets so angry they get *quiet?* EMME: "I'm *not* afraid." ME: "You *will* be" :)

I found out recently that the Beast here is voiced by Gabriel Woolf, the same actor who played Sutekh, a very powereful villain from classic who, indeed apparently it was speculated back then that the Beast would turn out to be Sutekh.

And she said to the Woolfe: My what an interesting timing you have. :P

Making this our first episode not set on or around a planet called Earth really helps to subliminally convey the awe, wonder and unadulterated danger they're in. Every other episode they're on Earth, orbiting Earth, on a ship with a time-window to Earth, or on 'new' Earth. It's home, it's familiar. It's potentially safe. Out on a small rock impossibly orbiting a black hole, anything can happen. The distance and isolation conveyed by this episode, right down to the altogether different instruments used for its score, is phenomenal. What an amazing way to take The Doctor away from Earth for the first time in this show.

This is probably my favorite of the many outstanding 2 parters from Doctor Who. It's such a great story and a perfect blend of horror, sci-fi, and adventure.

This episode and the next I think are some of my faves

This is a great two parter. You’re completely correct the Ood are harmless. Gabriel Woolf has done the Beasts voice. He did the voice for another Dr who villain in 1975. Plus he’s done voice work in the new Disney Dr who and he’s 91 now. He’s got such a deeply upsetting voice.

16:37 fun fact, this moment right here is probably my earliest memory of being absolutely terrified by a tv show😂

another great reaction to one of my fav episodes of dr who, ty emme

In case you were wondering, yes, Scooti's actress also plays Tissaia from The Witcher show.

Supernatural + scifi again - good choice of words

Blackholes are quite terrifying, but there is something that makes them slightly less terrifying. A Blackhole can only suck in stuff if the mass of the Blackhole is different than the original object. For example, if the Sun was replaced by a Blackhole of 1 Solar Mass, the Solar System will continue as normal, just without any sunlight.

From a fan watching the current season, impeccable timing with this episode, Emme!

Your face at the start is so funny, I loeved this reaction and I really like this two parter! I can't wait for next week's episode!

fun fact, the reason the milky way is round and spins around a center is actually cause we have a black hole in the middle of our galaxy, same with every spinning galaxy, so we are technically in orbit around a black hole

FWIW, the Ood will reappear in a later episode (I mean apart from part 2 of this one), and the answer as to whether you're supposed to feel bad for them is unequivocally yes.

The actor who plays the Beast here played another villain back in Classic Who

This is one of my favourite episodes ever of Doctor Who!!!!! It terrified me as a kid

My first intro to the lovely MyAnna Buring, who played poor Scooti. She went on to star in the excellent 'Ripper Street' alongside Jerome Flynn from Game of Thrones. 😍

i first watched this when i was 6 and i had nightmares for years. the visual of posessed toby is so freaky!

This is crazy timing. The newest episode that just released connects back to this and some Classic Who.

This episode was released on June 3, 2006, 3 days before the date was 6/06/06.

One of my favourite two-parters

This two parter was actually the first Doctor Who story I saw in its entirety! Previously I had only seen bits of “The Shakespeare Code” and “The Unicorn and The Wasp” while channel hopping and had no context for them at the time

Sunshine, as in "you too sunshine!" is a British slang form of address, usually friendly. Equivalent to "you too buddy!"

Hi Emme, nice to see you releasing an early morning Doctor Who episode!😊 I forgot you haven't seen the Ood yet.😉The Ood are normally slave labor. It looks like you may have guessed correctly that this is Satan.😉 Great reactions to part one of this demonic episode, looking forward to part two, Emme!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The voice actor is Gabriel Woolf who is 91 years old and voiced another demon in Doctor Who in 1975... and more... lets leave it at that

Remember this voice actor when you get to the current season (season 1, or series 14 of nu who) 😇

"What a cliff hanger" she says... remember we had to wait a week or more for each episode. Also... there is a truth to "most myth has its origin in truth" - people try to explain things and when we don't know a full truth we make up a story that encompasses "everything" we do know... so the idea that there is an "alien devil" out there is... possible.

Yeah the companions are very special to the Doctor, so ofc he gets angry if they're in danger, but that also goes for any other innocent life in danger as well.

THE BEST WRITTEN CLIFFHANGER in DW history. The last few pages of script are just great! That final speech!!

It's one of my favourite things to watch you experience this all for the first time! ☺️

14:58 _"They're basically a herd race, like cattle"_ ... perhaps they should have been called "The Mooed" :)

...the temperature's rising, it isn't surprising, she certainly can Can Can!

I will never understand how anyone can enjoy "suspense" like you do lol. This is exactly why I don't usually watch TV shows until after a whole season is available to stream, because I can't stand having to wait a week for a second part lol.

This is such a fantastic two parter, can’t wait for episode 9.

Many Doctor Who horror-themed episodes are fantastic.

I enjoy this 2 parter because the crew feel so real! Often the side characters in Who episodes are unmemorable but these guys feel like theyve been on an adventure before Ten and Rose met them, that we just havent seen! There is chemistry between them (as well as a bit of bitterness)

Your enthusiasm is super endearing easy to tell you are a definite genuine Dr Who reactor. I tell you this period of the show the years shortly after mid 2000's it had truly found its feet after the 2005 reboot and was just some of best episodes and tv of this type. Really miss this era cause it was such a great period of years for this.

“The Beast and his armies shall rise from the pit, and make war against God.” “S….sorry?” _knock knock_ “Apologies. I said: ‘I hope you enjoy your meal.’” Damn autocorrect. 😆

I love this whole season of Who, but this story in particular is my favorite!

Remember the voice of the Beast. It is the harbinger of doom... and it will grant you the gift of its return. (This is one of my favourite stories, super looking forward to seeing your reactions)

18:10 There’s actually a cut scene at the start of the episode where the Ood asks if they would like some refreshment. Rose asks if they have any coffee. The Ood informs her that they have only Protein 1 (which tastes like milk) Protein 2 (which tastes like salt) and Protein 3 (which tastes like Sugar) So Rose asks for protein 1 with a dash of 3. (Essentially Milk with a bit of sugar) You actually see the Ood give her that drink when she first asks what they are.

I love how much you seem to be enjoying Dr who and while I personally think David my favorite Dr I honestly can't wait to see you react to the future version of the doctor and all the crazy stories yet to come ... Especially this new season definitely seems to lean into the supernatural more

At 17:30, 'Sunshine ' is a term of endearment. The nearest US equivalent is 'my friend' but the UK version has a disdain of actually knowing who you're talking to. Typical usage - Policeman to ne'er-do-well 'Come along with me, Sunshine. You're nicked' It's like reading a person's Miranda Rights...

The OOD!! I love the Ood 🥰

Claire Rushbrook who plays Ida Scott had a small role in Spider-Man Far From Home.

Beast's voice actor Gabriel Woolfe says he's retired now... apart from Doctor Who. 🤣

Satan. We fighting the devil. Man I forgot how good this two parter was.

Besides being so smart and intuitive about these Dr.Who episodes, you are still funny and joyful. These two episodes are top shelf and my favorites. Pretty terrifying 😮

“Protein 1 with a dash of three” calls back to an earlier scene that was cut. Protein 1 tastes like milk and protein 3 tastes like sugar.

With demons & whatnot all in cavort, I think I'd be a bit closer about what curses I was flinging around, Emme...

Understand Rose expects the Doctor, AND Tardis, to keep her safe and get her out. She had a safety net, and escape strategy. No matter how bad it got she could always run away in the tardis... until it disappeared. This is also a great... slow burn or breadcrumbs story. You get a little glitch here and there that at first does not mean anything.... the "he is awake" which is both slightly meaningless and without context, but also unsettling. This is one of those episode you almost feel compelled to revisit/rewatch looking for hints but only after you know the answers...

love these episodes!

I love this two-parter. It's one of my favorites.

This is the perfect week to react to this ep - if you know you know haha

If the show doesn't want you to care about the Ood, the show is wrong. You are right to care, I believe.

Emme is so darn adorable. 🤗 Love Emme & her reactions. 🤟🏻😃

This two-parter is so good overall. The Ood are innocent, but they are telepathic so are more susceptible to being possessed. The visual of Scooti drifting in space is so disturbing. Having just re-watched an old story from 1975, the contrast between what they could do with effects then and in the revived series is very striking.

A lot of good guessed. Yeah it is pretty effective on first time viewing no matter age very scary.

Fun Fact : when my girlfriend first saw these guys she was like "EWW" but in a moment of brilliance i said "Actually its pronounced OOD, dear"

Best story of series 2 and possibly this entire era

Actually, it's very difficult to fall into a black hole, or even get close to one for that matter.

Thank you, Emme! ⏳

Gabriel woolfe. So does this make it a bad wolf episode?

I love this episode. The black hole physics are wrong but the story is still fantastic.

Idk if you plan to go back and watch Classic Who, but the voice actor for Satan here played another demon god in Classic Who (inspired by the Ancient Egyptian religion).

Thanks!

I love an Ood! And I'm sure you will too, one day.

Demons on a planet in space? I've played this game, get me a shotgun and it'll all be fine.

Ain’t that the girl from Twilight? One of the sisters?

Indigestion 👀

The timing...

There's no spoilers, and I promise it's not related in any way you might think, but all I can say is you've chosen a heck of a week to upload this episode

For some reason, I always find myself very affected by the poem recited by Jefferson when they see Scooti's body: "Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: 'To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods.'"

I see, as usual, people can't help posting spoilers...

How appropo.

funny you are watching this now. we are currently in who dealing with a season big bad voiced by the same guy who voiced this monster. a guy in his 90s they brought back to voice the character he did back in the '70s

When New Who was GOOD.

As an aside, this episode gets black hole science all wrong. It is perfectly possible, indeed inevitable, that objects achieve stable orbit around a black hole. It's just a gravity source like any other. But don't let my nitpicking ruin your experience. This remains one of the best Dr. Who episodes.
