one of my favourite moments was the reveal of the fake tie disappearing, the way the not doctor is all "ohhh I see" is so creepy, especially with the laugh afterwards

In fairness to the clone doctor not having the salt shaker, it was shown in the episode that the clones have trouble with the concept of object permanence. Like when he takes off the tie and it disappears. "Oh, i see. Things still exist when theyre out of sight."

It was definitely noticeable in the corridor that they were acting in front of green screen. It was easier to forget that as the episode went on, but still.

It feels good to see Harry so happy again. Glad he loved the episode so much

I'm surprised you didn't mention the explosions down the corridor. I know we all knew deep down that there was no threat, but I LOVE the imagery of seeing the inevitable destruction coming before the sound of explosions even can properly catch up. That experience would traumatise you.

I'm loving the contrast between this and Harbo Wholmes. Really shows how two people can have such different opinions on a single thing.

“Well you see, the reason we had that goofy ass intro to Star Beast is to make sure all new viewers are caught up with context. Yeah, that's all already in the episode but we just wanted to make doubly sure." "Oh, you're a new viewer and have no idea what the Flux is or why half the universe has been destroyed? Not our fault, should have been paying attention scrub, Imao."

I’ve tried to imagine thirteen and the “fam” in this episode. And it would not nearly have been as good or scary. I just find that so telling of how good the writing and acting is in this episode

I definitely liked this one better than the first one. I agree it was a return to form.

I can't lie this episode was really good haven't felt this way about ba doctor who episode in a while

I would also recommend It’s A Sin, it is truly fantastic and absolutely broke my damn heart. It really is RTD’s masterpiece.

I've been eagerly waiting for this review and you didn't disappoint! So good that you praised this episode for the uncanny valley, the insanely tight writing, and those heart-breaking performances from Tennant and Tate. I'm done with negative reviews of this episode, hopefully the episodes to come will be as great! I'm gonna watch it again.

The funny thing is, is that the hair gel is probably the same that they use In Tennant’s hair😂😂

"My arm's too long" is the scariest thing. I hope this is something that kids say to frighten each other after seeing this. The "are you my mummy" of the season, if you will.

I don't understand why this episode has divided people so heavily, effects and backgrounds have ALWAYS been goofy and... Not the best shall we say with doctor who. The content, the acting, the intrigue, this episode was fantastic all the way through. I've not watched Doctor who for a few years now but this is starting to get me back into it

Tenant really shines in this episode, you can see that billions of years have passed for him and still gives us enough of 10 to keep our nostalgia banks full lol

14:15 My thought was that the clone Donna pretended the salt circle worked so that both A) The actual duo think they're safe and don't run away, and so that B) They begin to wonder what the clones are if it "worked", thus making them think.

I can't wait for the episode tomorrow because of the Toymaker.

Harry having to tell and not show is the sort of poetic irony i am absolutely here for 😂

I gave it a 9 too, this episode was delicious. The acting in moments like the realisation of where they are, with the score, the ending with Donna staring into the possible ending of her life, this episode was amazing and I will think about it forever.

idk why but the jaunty country background music changing to epic space edm was so funny to me

I’ll be honest, it’s kind of shocking to see people not really enjoy this episode. I really, REALLY liked it more than I probably should have. It’s sad to see the general reception is one that’s so negative right now but I think people will come around to it.

The only thing I didn't like was the Doctor not saying sorry to Donna after nearly letting her die

The initial scene with the robot at the end of the hallway was absolutely terrifying, I thought through the whole scene whatever it was at the end of the hallway would immediately run to the doctor at the speed of sound

ngl I am a bit worried for donna in giggle, she's had two close calls with death in these specials so far and something tells me that's not a coincidence

14:15 the salt reference goes back to demons. Salt in a circle protects the person inside because demons have to count the grains before they pass thru the circle. What a strange reference until you realize that the Doctor is the Fallen Angel who was given the key to the bottomless pit. Time. The Doctor is Apollo who has the power to resurrect himself into a new body. Wow. Freemasons.

I’ve seen people say that the entity from wild blue yonder is the midnight entity but evolved

Honestly the only bit I was remotely critical about was the salt shaker and the part where the shapeshifter impersonator thingies showed themselves to the real Doctor and Donnna for the 1st time, and then real Doctor and Donna both ran into eachother, running off, like couldn't in theory there have been more of them and at least the Doctor would be more careful? but it is also a split second decision in the moment and tbf probably wouldn't even come acroos your mind in the moment. Loved the episode overall though my favourite in a very long time

Still can't get over after rewatching the first scene of no-things and noticing how after the no-doctor says "My arms are too long" Donna fucking agrees lmao

I hope Harry re-reviews Heaven Sent with this level of detail, enthusiasm and heart about the music, performance and the featured character's psyche in the near future.

I just finished re-watching the latest episode (a very amazing episode, love it so much) and I absolutely love that scene when the not-things first made their appearance to the Doctor and Donna. At first, I thought both the not-things were trying to copy both Doctor and Donna at the same time so that they could have copies of both and interchange or something like such when needed. But then I realised perhaps the not-things are only copying the one they picked, so when they're asking questions in their first appearance, those questions were from the minds of the real ones. It's almost like their subconscious. In my opinion, both the dialogues were their "outputs", while the questions were what they really wanted to know and really wanted to do. The doctor has nothing but the TARDIS, therefore he wants to know Donna's husband and wants to meet Wilf again, he wants and loves connections because he has none. On the other hand, Donna knows what she has, and also well known that the doctor never talks about his past or basically anything about himself , his feelings etc. Remember in one scene where the doctor mentioned minds can believe and do separate things or something like that? (sort of) For me, the dialogues and the questions are actually sort of communicating and connecting based on that: When Donna was babbling about her tedious past, not-thing Donna asked about Gallifrey. When the not-thing Doctor expressed he wanted to meet Wilf and Donna's husband, the doctor masked things into a soft tone and said he's only the TARDIS left. and when they were back in the TARDIS, Donna asked the doctor again what he had been through (that's his past and his feelings), and the doctor wanted to know if there was anyone who could understand him or if he could connect emotionally (or of course make sure that no one knew since that's very doctor). Very beautiful writing in conclusion. It feels like it's the Doctor who reached out to people taking them on adventures, but in fact, it's the companions reaching out to him emotionally, while the doctor still hiding inside his shell. (Sorry for this long and chappy comment, this overanalysed thing was actually from a chat with my friend and neither of my friend and I are native English speakers please forgive me QQ )

Fabulous review. Thank you so much. 😊😊

I think it's because he doesn't understand that you can hide objects in other objects like how he didn't know ties stay on the ground after letting them go.

It took RTD 1 minute to give more depth to the flux and the timeless child and how it affected the doctor than 6 hours with chibnall

The last episode i enjoyed this much was over 10 years ago 😂❤ i was smiling so hard like “THIS IS WHAT I MISSED”

kinda bugged me that there was no explanation/apology for the doctor taking the wrong donna, if it was an accident he should have apologised to her which he didnt, and its kinda weird that he would make that mistake. if it was on purpose....why?

This episode was peak Doctor Who and honestly could easily be in the middle of s4 somewhere or after Midnight ti give them both additional trauma 😂

Always the best reviews

Salt: Maybe Not Doctor has only cloned what he can see.

Great review. The only other thing I would have liked to hear you comment on was the doctor picking a Donna to take in the tardis. I've seen some people say that he could have just taken both of them until he could figure out which one is the real one and since then I haven't thought of a good reason for him to pick only one myself.

I didn't think it sucked but I would rate it an average episode compared to the original RTD / Tennant era but that is still better than recent seasons. I have said elsewhere that I think RTD's comment that he would have done 12 episodes if Tennant and Tate were available points to my main issue with these specials. They feel like ordinary episodes that would fit really well in a longer Season but for such a short run, they feel kind of rushed and don't really allow the viewer to properly catch up with the characters and get to know them again after the passage of time. I would have loved a properly paced 12 episode build up which would finally lead to 15 coming in at the end. Would have felt more satisfying and climactic.

Omg yes, the Midnight vibes...like I felt the trauma everytime we didnt know which was which...this was PEAK the Doctor and Donna

It's interesting that they haven't addressed that the 15 years for Donna has been more than 1300 for The Doctor. I can't remember exactly the last count, but I think Tennant was 900 oldest and capaldi was well over 2000

Ugh THIS is why I love your videos man, I saw screaming when I saw this episode, I mean the dudes right hitch hikers guide, its a spin on my favorite episode midnight, THE STARS ARE GOING OUT, the timeless child!! I mean it made me wanna rewatch and thats saying A LOT, and of course Wilf, absolute 10/10 video I was so happy watching it waiting to hear you review a good video FINALLY

19:07 I did not expect a "Jessica Jones" reference at the very end, but bravo on that quick thinking

That meme with the old 10th doctor is hilarious

Yeah, this is easily the best episode of this mini series. It actually felt like Doctor Who, and the horror elements were amazing

The stars going out also happened in The Pandorica opens and Name of The Doctor

The Milford academy has taught you well

Im surprised others werent immediately aware it wasnt them coming into each others rooms. I thought it was obvious just due to the fact that the doctor walks in unannounced and the camera has no focus on him at all and we never saw him finish in the other room. I just said "thats not him is it" and then it showed him in the other room to confirm that

as a musician one of the things I’m loving a lot is that in the past two episodes Gold has used the Doctor’s Theme, Donna’s Theme, and I THINK he used Gallifrey’s theme in this one but I’m not sure if that was intentional or if it was just something he wrote that sounds like it, but he uses them in good ways and it doesnt feel like hes just bringing them back because he can

I loved this episode, especially as someone who loves grounded absurdity it was a delight and both my bf and I felt like we were watching Saturday night entertainment as children again :)

couldn’t wait for ur review man, been watching you since the Christopher eccelston reviews. haven’t seen u this excited about an episode since the empty child i think ahahah

I haven’t been this entertained by Who since about 2017 and I’m so happy with this episode and you’re right. 9/10 is RIGHT.

Met Nathan on the set of it’s a sin, worked as a background extra as one of his buddies, (don’t know which one I haven’t actually watched the show) he said my hair was very nice, lovely guy really cool to see him play Newton!

Glad to hear someone give this episode a positive review. Everyone else seem like they've spent so long trashing the show, they're scared to actually admit it was a good episode. I hated Chinballs and Jodie's Doctor Who run, and hated Capaldi's run once Bill showed up, but I loved this, and I'm hopeful.

The mention of the timeless child is rather what took me out of the experience, if I'm honest. It's still a terrible idea that hasn't been given any weight beyond another thing for the Doctor to lament, and yes, this is the first time in the show it's honestly made to matter in real time as opposed to the potential of what it means to the character. Still hate the idea. Otherwise, I thought it was an ok episode, with definite shades of Midnight. However, none of this answers any of the questions presented with Tennant's return, and they have only one more special for that be made clear. Mildly disappointed with this one, as opposed to how annoyed the Star Beast left me. Cribbins coming in at the end made me very happy though.

This special actually made me jump!! I’m so happy harry liked this

it was good, but i felt like it was just an added to version of Midnight, it was pretty much the same storyline, just explaining the monster this time. also pretty sure the doctor has been the edge/end of the universe before more than once in new who

You should use stills in your video of the scene you are referring to.

This episode was amazing

I mostly agree with you, except I thought the Isaac Newton scene was terrible, and I dislike the Timeless Child stuff a great deal. But it's fun to disagree and argue. :)

9:08 I thought the exact same thing until Donna repeated that her arms were too long too.

My God! Someone else noticed the breathing sound in the title theme - once I spotted it, that's all I could hear. Like something out of an Edgar Allen Poe story...

Hey Harry lovely review! The background music is a bit too loud for me (using headphones). Otherwise great video!

This remindec me of the waters of mars. It genuinely made me enjoy doctor who again

The only let down for me was the tardis just showing up because the monster failing. Just because it made the doctors presence useless as he didn’t do anything to stop them and if he wasn’t there the story would happen the same way

That one scene with the mention of the flux and TTC proved what I thought this whole time, Jodie deserved RTD level writing

I got up and clapped when he gave his rating.

It’s very odd to see him so happy at a doctor who episode after so long ahah

3:04 The breathing was definately mixed way weirder in the credits than the intro from what I listened to.

What about one for the giggle?

I do think the first 2 hold up so much better than the last one but i really like this trilogy, its so easy to watch and fun, and neatly packed, i would say it is clear, the more times you watch that Tennant is on an i need to get some recovery arc but it may have benefitted from more hints towards both that direction and the technological developments.

( 13:09 ) I dig this.

Good episode cant wait for tomorrow

I absolutely enjoyed this episode. I’m not watching the final episode of the anniversary specials for a little while. I don’t want to see Tennant’s run come to an end again. I’m not ready to say goodbye to him at all. I’m just going to enjoy denial as long as I can. Lol

At first I was worried it was just nostalgia goggles I'm glad someone else liked it too

I love that we're finally back to a simple proven Who formula with solid writing. Doctor and companion get stranded, this time without a screwdriver, so it's up to the two to be clever and fast so they can solve the problem and escape. David and Lauren just get to kill it with their acting chemistry, and the writing has the right kind of build up to its reveals that it makes this episode just fun to watch!

Find it funny they kept saying “15 years” since it’s been over 2,000 years for the Doctor 😂

7:17 who else tried to do a hexagon with their fingers here?

I feel like the captain could have killed herself by blowing up the ship, but I guess the doppelgangers may have stopped her? Idk

Finally glad to find a review that doesn't contain the words, "missed opportunity." Seems every review I've watched contains that complaint and that it's disappointing that no other Doctor appeared. Thank god, there's someone who just enjoyed it for what it was and not for what it didn't do.

This was the a really good "weird" Episode of Doctor Who imo. It had a lot of Sunshine, Alien, The Thing or Event Horizon vibes. The back and forth between the real and doppelgangers of the Doctor and Donna were brilliantly done. Though they were indeed goofy, I thought the VFX on the doppelgangers was quite creepy.

12:08 when you gold all your murrays

I loved this episode. Neil Patrick Harris is a great actor and I can't wait to see him as the Toymaker.

When the doctor says that the TARDIS brought them their I don't think he meant that as her doing it on purpose just that it happened coincidentally at that time

57 seconds ago woooooooo... been waiting for this one c:

It really doesnt matter how good or bad it is. Unless the Timeless child is retconned entirely, Dr Who is just over for me.

@Harry's Moving Media. Could you do a video on It's A Sin?

It was the most fun I’d had with who in a long while. I wasn’t watching the show out of principle a lot of the time but I really enjoyed this one.

Donna's melty scene remind me of Bing Bong's death from Inside Out

the sausage fingers remind me out Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Missed opportunity for the Blue Yonder not to make a great simpsons reference "Huh Issac Newton," - Tenth Doctor "I'm not actually Sir Issac Newton I'm just assuming his form,"

The long shots down the corridor showed Tennant with his hands swinging by his side, the side on shots, they were in his pockets. Bad continuity or the doppelgänger creatures ??????

It was fine. I'm not really impressed yet but the giggle looks ace and Christmas looks fun

such a fun episode, so goofy and silly the corridor cgi was only noticeable for me when they focused on it with long shots highlighting the size

oh god rendering it 11 times is torture.

David Tenant could still B around for the 100th anniversary, he'd B 92, so we'll see.

I like Wild Blue Yonder

This episode was great but I am discombobulated by the fact that they weren't saving the day. When we realize the Captain had already saved the day, I was wondering what the heck Donna and Doctor were doing there.
