EVERYONE, PLEASE Avoid *spoilers* for this man. We all know how important that word is to us, and eventually he will too. Try and answer questions he might have to the best of your ability WITHOUT spoiling things.

Guys! Do NOT ruin for him the experience and spoil! 👏and we definitely need more than 1 episodes or it will take years 😂 Torchwood too.

'She walked so Ruby could run'... Nah this is Doctor who, everyone runs here! 😅

Knowing that Sutekh was the God of Death, hearing from Clive "he has one constant companion... Death" is so cool. You might also notice that some of this Doctor's TARDIS console was in the memory TARDIS.

The most important lesson you can learn from Dr. Who is never spend Christmas in London.

just realizing-"his one constant companion, death"? that line has a different ring after gatwa's first season.

“A new Whovian has entered the chat” 😂 I’m so ready

Fun (?) fact. The Kennedy Assassination is sort of an Easter Egg. The first episode of Doctor Who in 1963 was delayed to announce his death.

"If the mannequins move.... " cackling

Fun Fact: The department store Rose worked at that got blown up is the same building used in The Church on Ruby Road where the goblins made the snowman head almost fall on Ruby and her friends and then the woman with the stroller doing Christmas shopping. im sure someone else might have mentioned it but i was too lazy to read the comments. really happy to see you exploring the 2005 era. really excited to see your journey though my favorite TV series. the joy and excitement you seem to feel brings me much joy to witness. enjoy!!

2005 didn't have the budgets and tech?! We could only dream of this back in the 80s,70s,60s!

Rose is the 1st companion for the second run of Doctor Who. His granddaughter Susan and her teachers , Ian and Barbara were the first companions in 1963

YESSSSS THE BEGINNING!! Sorta. Classic who is a different beast, for a different adventure. Welcome to the beginning of the show most of us know and love! It's a genuine treasure of a series. Good luck!!

Like Sutekh, the Autons (living plastic mannequins) are a returning classic villain from the 1970s.

As I've seen mentioned before, Christopher Eccleston is a wonderful post-war Doctor. He's capable of portraying such incredible sadness that I've only really come to appreciate on rewatches. Also Rose is a fan favorite for a very good reason. To so many people, she represented the viewer and was someone we could all relate to. A shop girl, a high-school drop out, belonging to a single-parent family. She was great companion.

I was a fan of the original series from the late ‘70s onwards, up to its cancellation in’89. I still think of ‘Rose’ as ‘new’….. hard to believe it was transmitted almost 20 years ago now! Oh Lordy, I guess I got old!!

"Hey, I know that actor" & ""Hey, I've seen him/her/them somewhere" is a very recurring frase from reactors and I'm here for it (also for the amazing stories in Doctor Who ofcourse)

His one constant companion "sutekth" 16:10

It's always exciting to see someone meet The Doctor for the first time! And Rose is a fantastic companion. I'm glad to get to take this journey with you -- you're gonna' love it!

"And he has one constant companion. Death" Well! Knowing what we know about Sutekh, that surprisingly accurate!

Oh yes! I am glad that we're starting in 2005!

You don't know how hyped I am for this! I hope you keep making theory and speculation videos for your reactions on this. 🤭

THAT'S MY DOCTORRRR. Aw, I hope you love it all! I adore this season.

I'm glad you are enjoying it so far, as this series has a place in my heart(this was my first Doctor 😊). The only information I will tell you is that Rose's mum is called Jackie, and that her boyfriend is called Mickey.

Love that I’ve found someone else who’s right at the start of their NuWho journey and that I get to follow along with each new video. Also love that you seem to have watched the newest season and then decided to go back to 2005 and watch it, and that makes me thrilled because there are so many iconic moments that I’m looking forward to you witnessing for the first time. Might have to go back and watch your reactions to Ncuti’s season, just based off what you’ve said here. I love that you’re loving it already, Rose is my favorite Companion, and I hope you continue to love this run.

Welcome, “NuWho-vian!” SO excited to be a vicarious Companion on your journey. *Fantastic* reaction, can’t wait for the next one - just liked, subscribed, and turned on notifications 🤗 Edit: Spelling/format

The pacing and comedy in this episode made for a terrific introduction

You want to talk about beans on toast. OK, here's how Brits view them… Ah, behold the humble tin of baked beans, a veritable Pandora’s box of comfort and nostalgia! With trembling hands, you seize this metallic chalice, knowing full well the delight it holds within its confines. As you peel back the lid, a heady aroma wafts forth, like memories of childhood picnics and rainy day lunches encapsulated in tomatoey splendor. The saucepan stands ready, a knight awaiting its noble charge. Into this vessel, you pour the beans, a river of amber and ruby flowing forth, promising warmth and sustenance. The hob flickers to life, a dragon breathing its gentle fire, coaxing the beans into a simmering dance. Ah, the sizzle and pop, a symphony of sustenance, each bubble a note in the melody of anticipation. Now, to the bread, that canvas of golden potential! Each slice, a blank page upon which a culinary masterpiece shall be writ. Into the toaster they go, descending into the fiery abyss to emerge reborn, transformed into golden slabs of perfection. Watch closely, for the line between toast and char is as fine as a spider’s silk, shimmering and delicate. The bread springs forth, victorious and golden, the very sun captured in culinary form. With a flourish, you spread a whisper of butter, its creamy luxury melting into the toast’s warm embrace like a lover’s tender kiss. And now, the moment of union, the crescendo of this gastronomic symphony! The beans, now bubbling with fervor, are ladled generously onto the toast, each spoonful an offering to the gods of comfort food. The toast, sturdy and humble, bears its burden with grace, soaking in the savory goodness. A pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and lo, the transformation is complete! But wait, there is more to this tale. Should you desire, a handful of grated cheese may be strewn atop, a snowy mantle that melts and mingles, adding richness to this already decadent feast. Ah, but the journey does not end here. For those who seek adventure, a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a hint of chilli powder may be added to the beans, infusing them with an exotic flair, a touch of the unknown. Thus, you stand back and admire your creation, this simple yet profound dish. Beans on toast, a testament to the beauty of simplicity, a dish that speaks of home and hearth, of love and care. And as you take that first bite, you are transported, lifted upon the wings of flavour to a place where comfort and contentment reign supreme. Bon appétit, dear friend, bon appétit.

Ur in for an amazing ride, so many iconic doctors and moments, it’s less of a Disney feel it’s more serious but also funny too, also I feel like the reactions of people are more realistic, like rose reacting to the doctor and the tardis

This makes me so happy, I can’t wait to relive this series through your eyes 💗

I'm smiling so much seeing this.😊 Also, when the Doctor deactivates the arm in the apartment, I believe he's making a joke when he says "There you go. See? 'armless." Using that way of saying "Harmless".

And so it begins. Can’t wait to take this journey with you!

ONE OF US, ONE OF US

The intro of this video was really cool, loved that compilation leading you to this point :D

Yesss you are in for a treat. A wild, crazy, tonal whiplash, at times frustrating and yet overall, FANTASTIC treat!

Excited that you have started from here. It’s going to be interesting watching you react as you have already watched Ncuti’s Doctor. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I am so excited to go on this ride with you! I've seen Doctor Who so many times but it's always refreshing to watch it through someone else's eyes.

Yay so excited you are starting on this series you are in for a ride!

Yes!!!! I've been waiting all day!! So excited for this journey, you're gonna love it!

Geronimo! Welcome to the fam!

You get used to the Doctor changing - I started watching from the first episode in 1963. 🤣

Heres a list of Classic Stories that you need to watch if you want to explore more of this show, with no spoilers: An Unearthly Child (This is a 4 part story, and the very episode of Doctor Who ever... it's also not legally available anywhere, even in the UK for very unfortunate reasons involving the son of the writer of the first episode, but if you can find a way to watch it, you really should) The Aztecs The Tenth Planet The Invasion Spearhead from Space Genesis of the Daleks Pyramids of Mars I've tried to include a taste of every different kind of story this show can do, whilst still including stories that contain things that will be familiar to you from watching Ncuti's first season, and from New Who going forward.

AAAAY LETS GOOOOOO

Chameleon circuit that's broken/frozen on the Public Police call box, the perception filter is so everyone ignores it, mostly. :)

A great dip in to classic would be the very very first episode An Unearthly Child part 1. Its 25 minutes and is still extremely compelling. I dont really recommend the other parts in that particular serial tbh, but part 1 is the perfect pilot. Plus it has the real Susan in it which may be interesting as a Ncuti era introduced fan!

Gotta love watching the show in the past and remembering the future season for comparison, very in keeping with this show. So excited to see you go on this journey! Btw you nailed pronouncing Christopher Eccleston's name 😌

I vaguely remember the first doctor regenerating into the second (I only caught the 2nd doctor's episodes when I could), but the 3rd doctor was my doctor. We all have our doctor though. I wish Eccleston had more time, but it is what it is. RTD though is a good character writer.

Excited to see your journey! Super enjoyed your reactions to S14 and I can’t wait to see what you think of all the previous Doctors!

It's so fun to watch someone watch one of my favourite shows from the start (NuWho, I haven't seen the classics) for the first time

So glad you checked out the beginning of the revival! I love the way you compare 9 and 15.

I'm so glad you decided to do this :) I hope you'll have a lot of fun!

YES THIS IS SO SICK

I absolutely love your reactions like “cut it I'm out” 🤣🤣🤣💀

1000 welcomes 😊 to Doctor Who of 2005.

you should definitely watch "an unearthly child" (the first ever episode) and "pyramids of mars" (sutekhs first appearance) but hold out on other episodes until the time is right

Yessss! The wait is under!!🎉

As a warning, when you tell someone youre a Whovian (doctor who fan) people will ask who your Doctor is. Most of us have 2 answers. You always remember your 1st viewed Doctor, but after so long into your journey, you find a favorite Doctor.

You mentioned maybe watching some classics. Here are some relevant stories: _Terror of the Autons_ (S8, 1971) features Autons (living plastic) and UNIT. _Pyramids of Mars_ (S13, 1975) introduces Sutekh. _Paradise Towers_ (S24, 1987) is probably Mel's best classic appearance.

They have also said I think that basically regenerating also can alter his brain-chemistry a bit, which would also explain further differences in behavior between Doctors. It's like when someone gets hit in the head or wakes up from a coma and is kind of a different person. He still has all of his memories, but it's kind of like, "Wow, did I used to be like that? Why did I do that? That's so silly! I think I wanna be like this now."

I am so glad you’re starting this era of doctor who. I hope you enjoy the journey! Your reactions to this new season have brought such a smile to my face and I can’t wait to see you enjoy what else Doctor who has to offer ❤

The aitons haunted for years as a kid ! The classic version ( yes I'm old) by the way. And loving your Intro to DW is lovely!

As someone who has watched all of Classic Who (or at least, everything that isn't missing) several times over and loves it all, I do feel like it's a lot easier for people to bounce around from this Doctor to that Doctor when taking it in for the first time. My first experience with Classic was also out of order, so I can confirm it's still quite a fun way to watch. Below I have made a pretty comprehensive (and long but hopefully easy to use) list of the stories people are most likely to ask for (as well as some of my personal favorites 😉) for you to look at whenever you are ready... please don't feel pressured to look at this now, just copy and save it somewhere so you can come back to it later when you feel you are ready to begin your Classic Who journey. Thank you and enjoy!😃 FIRST DOCTOR: "The Daleks" "The Keys Of Marinus" "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth" "The Romans" "The Time Meddler" "The War Machines" SECOND DOCTOR: "Tomb Of The Cybermen" "The Enemy Of The World" "The Mind Robber" "The Seeds Of Death" THIRD DOCTOR: "Spearhead From Space" "The Ambassadors Of Death" "Inferno" "Terror Of The Autons" "The Mind Of Evil" "The Daemons" "The Curse Of Peladon" "The Mutants" "The Three Doctors" "The Green Death" "The Time Warrior" "Invasion Of The Dinosaurs" FOURTH DOCTOR: "The Ark In Space" "Genesis Of The Daleks" "The Pyramids Of Mars" "The Brain Of Morbius" "The Seeds Of Doom" "The Face Of Evil" "The Robots Of Death" "Image Of The Fendahl" "The Sunmakers" "The Pirate Planet" "The Stones Of Blood" "The City Of Death" "The Horns Of Nimon" "Full Circle" "The Keeper Of Traken" FIFTH DOCTOR: "Four To Doomsday" "Kinda" "The Visitation" "Earthshock" "Snakedance" "Mawdryn Undead" "The Five Doctors" "Resurrection Of The Daleks" "The Caves Of Androzani" SIXTH DOCTOR: "Vengeance On Varos" "The Mark Of The Rani" "Timelash" "Revelation Of The Daleks" "Mindwarp" "Terror Of The Vervoids" SEVENTH DOCTOR: "Paradise Towers" "Dragonfire" "Remembrance Of The Daleks" "The Happiness Patrol" "The Greatest Show In The Galaxy" "The Curse Of Fenric" "Survival" Here are some of the popular ones that might be harder to find for various reasons: FIRST DOCTOR: "An Unearthly Child" "Galaxy 4" "The Celestial Toymaker" "The Tenth Planet" SECOND DOCTOR: "The Power Of The Daleks" "The Moonbase" "The Macra Terror" "The Evil Of The Daleks" "The Abominable Snowmen" "The Web Of Fear" "Fury From The Deep" "The Invasion" FOURTH DOCTOR: "Shada" EIGHTH DOCTOR: The 1996 TV Movie I hope this can help you in the future and I hope it isn't too long lol I didn't want to overwhelm you, but I know these are the ones most people will ask for... just take it at your own pace and be patient with the long-time fans. I just know you are going to LOVE this show!

Talking about how special effects technology has improved since 2005, but when the Autons first appeared in the Classic series they couldn't afford to show them breaking glass.

omg yay! i've loved your series 14 reactions, i'm so excited for you to watch the rest of the show and just fall in love with it!!

I was 5 when this episode aired and it changed my life. I'm so grateful to see your unique perspective on these stories coming from the new Season 1.

A lot Who fans sleep on Eccleston, but he remains one of my favorite Doctors. He was a great choice for the revival of the series. I've been a fan of Doctor Who since I first saw The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) episodes on American PBS television as a kid. I never looked back. Doctor Who was my first franchise, and is still one of my favorites. BTW, if you have access to American streaming services, most of the Classic Who episodes are currently available for free on Tubi. They're structured very differently from NuWho; every 30-minute episode is a cliffhanger, and each story has four to six parts. Lots of fun.

The best thing here on youtube is to watch someone react to my favourite show for the first time!

I'm glad you've gone back and enjoyed what you've seen so far, you've got a wild ride for you. Like others have said I hope people don't spoil things (people LOOVE to spoil things for doctor who reactors). I look forward to seeing more reactions

Based on "Terror of the Autons" (1971) when a child named Russell tuned into a little sci-fi show on the BBC....

LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN! The best companion is Adam, HANDS DOWN. Anyone coming in to disagree is wanting to spoil it for Ugo

so excited for you man!! this show’s gonna change ur life 😭😭

It would be definitely be fun to see a reaction to “Classic Who”. From 1963-1989 the 1st Doctor- the 7th Doctor. But definitely a “Fantastic” reaction to the start of “New Who”.

“Who applied UD40 to their joints?” Great, now I’m going to have “Red Red Wine” stuck on my head all night.

How fun to see the beginning of the Modern Era of Who with the POV of Ncuti being your first Doctor. I was a latecomer to Who too, and I can tell you it's a wild ride, but a fun ride.

Love you watching this! I started watching in the ‘70s as a preschooler, & have never looked back. Love something from every era of Doctor Who! Great reaction! 💜💜➕🌈🟦

u have a POV nobody else here in the chat has or will have, your first impressions of DW are brand new and u get to explore the stuff we love with new eyes and also eyes nobody else has access to. if you then begin following classic Who I will be very very very impressed, you are a new type of fan. And I subscribed cos I am so damn intrigued, if you go through my subscribtions you'll see I almost almost NEVER follow reactionists.

There is so much to inspect and analyze I’m so excited for this journey for you!

"She (Rose) walked so Ruby could run!" LOL!!!! Well, well, well...look who *finally* decided to start from the beginning! Don't take offense by this, but this route is the better way to be a Who reactor. How lucky you are--seeing Nine from the point of view of Fifteen! Now you'll be knowledgeable *and* funny! "I'm gonna have fun with this!" Yes, you are! I'm 56 and I've loved #StarWars, #StarTrek and #DCSuperheroes for my entire life. But my fantasy life has been defined by #Marvel and #DoctorWho. If you stick around and be a patient watcher of what we call #NuWho (2005-2023? :) ) between now and the forthcoming Season 41 (?)/15 (?)/2 starring Ncuti and the new companion, you'll see how The Doctor--a character created in 1963!--was revamped for your generation--post-modern, 21st-century folks. Every Whovian will tell you what Classic Era to watch. For me you can start with Two's "The War Games," which leads to Three, the first Doctor in color. Three, Four Five would do it for me because then you could watch the 10th- and 20th-anniversary episodes! "It brings back memories--but to me, memories of the future!" Now you're getting the lingo! :) THANKS for this and an official welcome to the Whovian world!!!! I'll be here for as long as you do this!!!

I loved watching your reactions throughout Ncuti's run, so count me in for New Who era ! 🤩

NICEEEE. I've been watching a lot of golden eara Dr Who reactions lately, but this is the main on I've been looking for

I love this season. It’s great! Rose and the Doctor are iconic. I would say that despite the lower budget and worse effects, I think this seasons look is so much more enjoyable. It’s very opinionated. The shots regarding plastic Mickey ranks as top 3 worst visual effects though. 😂 Fun Facts: The Mannequins in this episode are actually a returning antagonist from a Classic Who. The sound effect of the weapon is even the same as before. The poorly edited shot of the Doctor at JFK’s motorcade is a reference to the fact that the first episode of the show from 1963 was delayed a day due to the death of the president. The delay made sure that people could actually see it instead of being glued to the news, a decision that probably saved the show.

It's so great to watch someone get into a show I've loved so much for so long, and the fact you're doing it after coming in on the newest season is both very timey wimey of you, and also gives me hope that the new season really has brought in new fans which is really exciting. I can't wait to see you go on this journey, I can tell you're going to love it!

I really enjoyed your season 1 reactions so I'm overjoyed you're going back! You've got a lot of camp but a lot of great stories and characters ahead of you.

This was my first doctor. I think your first always holds a special place in your heart. But then I really liked the next and the next and the next too! 😅

Yknow, I've always liked early Who. I came in around when the 11th Doctor's era was still airing. But I never LOVED it. Rewatching it with a new fan like yourself now, who has seen the most recent stuff... idk. It makes me really appreciate and love this early stuff more than I already did. It makes me reflect more deeply on Ncuti's first season. It's really satisfying to see how far the Doctor has come as a character. What's changed and what's the same. The way the Doctor seemed experienced before, but not in the same way as now. It's cool to observe. Makes me glad it's run as long as it has.

Minor show detail: In the opening credits as well as the show as well, the time vortex color (red or blue) means which direction the TARDIS travels in.

watching a story per doctor for the classic series is a good way to get a taste of all of them. though for the first doctor, id recommend doing the first two stories, as they were about equally instrumental in establishing the show.

Oh yay! I've watched your whole series 14 reactions and absolutely loved hearing your perspectives from an absolute newbie. I have loved watching through you the way Doctor Who grips you and drags you in to it and how you get so into it you even did deep dives! There's so much ahead of you! I'm jealous I wish I could start all over again all fresh and new too. ❤

I love your energy! Its always nice to see a new whovian. Im excited for more of your reactions, they are always a joy to watch

Your reactions are incredible, keep them up! Always look forward to them weekly

I’m sooo glad you’re jumping into this! You are in for a real treat 😊

Oh, ninth. My Doctor ñ.ñ I hope you really love nine and NuWho :) Nine helped me through breakup and depression and stayed with me for ever. Consider your self liked, your video commented and your channel subscribed! ❤

Dr Who as a show has a *REMARKABLY* high body count 😅😅

This is amazing, I'm glad you decided to do this and I'm so excited to go on this journey with you!!! I hope you enjoy!!!

Time's a relative dimension in space TARDIS. Susan came up with it

The ferris wheel is actually the London Eye lol

Yessssssss!!! Love this ❤

I am so happy that you are reacting to Doctor Who :D yay

Rose and Mickey's accents is a Southern Londoner accent. I talk the same the same way., with a hint of Irish with some words. The stereotypical British accent is only one dialect. It's a posh accent. One that rich private school twats have. Although some ppl have an even posher accent than the stereotype. Like the late Queen Liz 2. Or the current King. Like America Britan has many different accents and dialects. There is an Irish KZfaqr I watch who makes a joke that Ireland has so many dialects you'll think you're in a different country from just walking 10 minutes down the road. lol One bad thing about the NuWho era is all the long-term companions are from Modern Day London. Not even from a different part of the country just London. In the classic Era we had companions from the futures. From the past. Aliens - One was even a member of the Doctor's species. Robot dogs. Ect.

I am soooo happy. I can't wait to see your reactions.
