It would be neat if Tennant's doctor became The Curator, just settling down, chilling with his art for eternity

They need to bring back the Doctor and Donna for just random, recurring gags. Like there’s an alien spaceship over London, 15 is running around having a terrible time, and it cuts to the Doctor and Donna sitting there, having a coffee, talking about something mundane whilst watching this giant spaceship. Then it cuts back to 15 having a terrible time.

Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor inspired David Tennant to become an actor. Now, David Tennant himself as the Tenth Doctor inspired Ncuti Gatwa to become an actor. This show has a history of memories in so many generations of people, there's nothing in the world that is quite like it.

The life size marionette being practical took me by surprise, I definitely thought they did the whole thing with CGI. Really well done!

I love hearing the story about the fan in a wheelchair causing Russell to add the ramp to the TARDIS. Because the whole point of the show is imagining that anybody could be whisked away on an adventure with the Doctor

I love how David Tennant’s doctors have respectively had the saddest and happiest endings. And then there was his clone who also had a happy ending. The 15th Doctor is going to be amazing

So unique this regeneration but seeing Tennant and Gatwa together was so much fun to watch

As a wheelchair user myself, two other things stood out to me and one of them meant the world to me.. That part where Kate says to Shirley words to the effect of "and you! I've seen you stand up...", I've had that sort of thing happen to me! I have MS and before becoming 100% wheelchair dependent I was able to get to the boot and get my wheelchair out. The times I was told that I didn't deserve a blue parking badge because I could "walk" and was obviously faking😔. The other thing was watching Shirley freewheel down that ramp in the UNIT hq. Can confirm that doing that sort of thing is so much fun!!!

Ncuti Gatwa and David Tennant together was a joy!

This was the most bonkers episode in the history of Doctor Who In a good way NPH dancing to the Spice Girls is gonna live rent free in my head

Ncuti is absolutely perfect. He’s got the playfulness and joy and sparkle of brilliance that is crucial to a good Doctor. I can’t wait to see what he does with the role!!!

That wheelchair ramp got me. I don't even use a wheelchair, but the rush of dignity in that moment went straight to my heart.

As an old-school Whovian (my first Doctor was Pertwee on PBS in the States) I was split (no pun intended) about the "bi-generation," but then I watched it again and realized it really *was* the best outcome. 14 gets to be with his best friend and family while 15 gets to fly around and be a madman with a box. Plus, the affection shown between both Doctors was amazing; no jealousy, no envy... just *love*.

The original ending with Tenant always left me feeling heartbroken, no matter how much I liked Matt Smith. That whole set of scenes where he was saying goodbye, and that he didn't want to go. The Giggle just filled my heart with such peace and love. Thank you! (And I am loving the personality of the new Doctor so far!)

NPH was so good. His performance and the music alongside him sent shivers down my spine. Though, I am VERY excited for Ncuti. He's a Doctor that isn't weighed down by trauma left unprocessed. He's still got the memories, he's still got the pain. But, he's free to be himself. He brought SO much energy and I cannot wait for more!

What a way to set up Mel in the new spinoff! Can't wait! And Donna is now working for UNIT? David, Gemma, Bonnie, and Catherine in a spinoff? Yes, please.

Fourteen and fifteen having a brother dynamic is so fun to watch. A joy to see David and Ncuti on screen together

Im really impressed by David's catch and dive and roll! Hes 15 years older than me and i can not move like that 😂!

Ncuti was partially inspired to become an actor thanks to David Tennant, just like David was partially inspired by Tom Baker. We've come full circle..

I love how pure of heart this show is. I grew up as a fan of the original series run & when the first episode of the new series began, I felt like 'oh, well that's nice, but I loved the original so much so I don't know if this is for me' and I was so wrong - this is so for everyone.

I love how it's canon the Toymaker just...fakes his accent for the kicks.

Funny how the toymaker is being used for a regeneration story now, when he was actually originally going to be how they explained how the first doctor would change before they came up with regeneration

The scene where we see the prime minster and Donna goes “Nothing new their” had me in stitched for at least 5 mins absolutely brilliantly done

I loved the ending of this episode because 14 and Donna gets to be family and he's an uncle to Rose!

As someone who is disabled myself (though with autism/ADHD), seeing the story behind the wheelchair segment made it that much more impactful for me. Shirley was a joy to watch, I hope that means we get more disabled companions like her or Ryan someday. We need more disabled rep in media that’s not treated like a one-off character in a special episode or a stereotypical caricature, period.

David Tennant man, what an incredible person and actor. What a gift for all of us that grew up watching his 10th doctor.

This episode was as the 9th doctor said FANTASTIC

Ncuti is already exceeding my expectations! I was so excited when I heard that he had been cast, but the confidence, charisma, and sheer joy he's bringing to the role are a breath of fresh air. I'm so excited for Christmas!

Gotta say, the bigeneration caught me off guard at first, but I honestly love it just because seeing Ncuti and David interact was incredible, plus we get a happy ending for David's Doctor which is amazing and did in fact make me cry a little bit

I’ll admit I wasn’t too sure about the first two shows, but this last one brought it all back to me on why I have always loved Doctor Who. Thank you Russell. Thank you, very, very, very much! This is like going back to the house where you were raised as a child, and instead of it looking smaller, like it always does for everyone, in fact, it looks exactly as wonderful as you remember it.

So, nobody is going to mention the fact that Ncuti did all his scenes without wearing any pants..? 🤣

Love that the ramp didnt change Tardis appearance at all, it was a nice desing

We need more of Mel and other Classic Who companions. More of Ace and Tegan and even Jo. Katy Manning deserves to come back as Jo in Ncuti’s run.

When 10 died he was alone and scared and he didn't wanna go. I think its quite nice that the second time around he doesn't have to go and he isn't alone in the universe anymore

NPH is probably the only currently working actor that I know, that id be able to buy if they ever decided to do a fully american adaption of doctor who. He would be a great Doctor

The Tharries Ramp was a brilliant and welcome addition to the TARDIS. Seeing Ruth get teary about it got me teary as well.

Tennant: "I was going to do the one-handed cartwheel" "Mine is a bit better than his". lol!

The Giggle was perfect. This was truly the first of these specials that felt like a celebration of 60 years of Doctor Who. It had all these great callbacks and mentions to so many character, most if not all of whom are no longer accessible to the Doctor like Amy and Rose Tyler. Is it wishful thinking to hope that no mention of Martha means Freema Agyeman will pop up again soon? Neil Patrick Harris was fantastic! I loved the switching of accents. Evil camp is always fun, especially when it’s as sinister as this was. And the “Spice Up Your Life” dance sequence. I still have no idea what the hell bi-generation means. I mean we heard from all the Doctors previously in the reboot that regeneration was super dodgy but making a whole new one is not a twist I was expecting! But this establishes that in a one-on-one-hundred-million-billion-billion chance, Time Lords can reproduce asexually. The end fight with the Toymaker had the frenetic pace of Ten's fight with the Sycorax way back in 2006. I loved Ncuti’s energy. He really felt like a showman, much more than the other Doctors previously. And because they said he processed his trauma, Fifteen seems like he’s going to be a Doctor who is having fun and not haunted by his dark deeds or running from something. Which is a Doctor RTD never gave himself the chance to write. And it looks like we have another RTD mystery box on our hand with the Meep’s Boss still left unanswered and I now the Toymaker mentioning a threat or a cosmic imbalance (I don’t remember the wording exactly). love that Fourteen’s costume got split between the two so Fifteen spends the entire episode in underwear! But because he got the shows, not only does Fourteen speed the entire 3rd act barefoot, which is hilarious and of itself, Fifteen feels even more naked. I love that they let Ncuti keep his true accent. I love that we didn’t have to say goodbye to Tennant again. Not really. That scene of him having lunch with Donna's family, really his family, was just perfect and I'm happy that his last words are technically "This is the happiest I've ever been in my life." You can really hear Tennant’s Scottish accent on “wheelchair accessible.” It really feels like they are setting up a UNIT spin-off. And I am here for it! I need it to be Kate, Shirley, Mel, and the Vlinx, whatever the hell that is and maybe Osgood (fingers crossed).

I'm so glad they don't just interview the stars and showrunner, but also the production crew. It's amazing what the crew's doing.

Excellent finale! Very excited for the future of the show. Ncuti Gatwa is going to be a great Doctor.

This time the 14th Doctor doesn't "die" alone. He has his companions by his side, in contrast to 10.

There are not many actors for a villain who can match David Tennant as the Doctor...true, true Russel. He is the best Doctor there ever was and will be.

It hit me that the actor of Shirley is probably talking about Tharries about the ramp situation. Much love Doctor Who.

Me! ME! I'm a Disabled/wheelchair bound Whovian (a fan since 1976.) The ramp was a fantastic additional surprise. Let's hope the new Doctor will go and take Shirley Anne Bingham on a much earned trip in the TARDIS. 😄

Ruth Madeley has me crying all over again now 🤣😭🙏🏻 It really truly means so much to see the representation and the accessible TARDIS. I’m so so thankful that it’s finally happening and so proud of Ruth for being part of that change 💜

60 years later and Doctor Who can still bring the new and the old together. Loved it!

This episode changed the game for Doctor Who. It was exciting, heartwarming, and refreshing. Just once, just this once, everybody gets to live :)

Only in Doctor Who can you actually become your hero. Also, I like how this resembled the 10th Doctor’s first battle against the sicorax. I think this is gonna be a fantastic run.

I love the wheelchair accessible TARDIS, because of course the Tardis would allow access like that. If The Tardis wants you on board, you're on board

Absolutely ABSOLUTELY amazing episode, can’t wait for Ncuti to come on to our screens full time on Christmas, also HE SAID THE THING

I was really hoping Susan would show up at the end, as it would have been the perfect cap for the family. Even so, great and fun episode.

Regeneration always makes me so sad. This was an amazing ending and a brilliant way to give the character peace. I wish my mom was alive to see it because she cried so hard when Tennant regenerated.

I'm so glad David's doctor gets to live on with his family ❤ I must also give a shoutout to Neil Patrick Harris he put on a LEGENDARY performance as the Toymaker, he was without a shadow of doubt the best fit for the role. His entrance at Unit HQ was hilarious 😂

Ncuti finally got his "Don't forget to click below..." moment for one of these bts videos, truly an iconic tradition at this point lmao

Masterful finale! I'm super excited for the future of this classic show. Ncuti Gatwa is going to be a terrific Doctor.Already love him, instant hit I feel. Him and Tennant together was great,. NPH just killed it, man. Flawless. Also, seeing Two Tardis was great, and then, Doctor (Tennant) telling his eyebrow story seated around the table /w Donna's family, was like his Doctor got a fitting end, well deserved. Make 'im the curator. We need more of Mel and other Classic Who companions. More of Ace and Tegan and even Jo. Katy Manning deserves to come back as Jo in Ncuti’s run.

Jon pertwees regeneration mentioned this eyebrow story when commenting on his own eyebrows! Spot on Continuity!

Oh, Russell, I am crying. Thank you so much for coming back to helm my favourite show. Thank you for listening to the actor who is disabled. Now I can dream about being in the Tardis in a pretend life. David is my favourite. I love it all. I love you. You are an amazing writer and person. Please don't ever leave. Take care. I am a Canadian. Thank you for giving us the Christmas Special again. I could go on about what this show means to me, but I would never stop.The only sadness I feel is losing Wilfred Mott/Bernard. He was the Grampa I never had in my life. I am not a child. I am 66 years old. I do have one regret-- my friend, Carlos died before he saw any these new shows, but may be he is watching anyway. Good bye for now.

in 1 hr 1 minute this episode summed up not only the UK but the world. So many disabled people will know that rant from Kate, thank god its finally been put mainstream. NPH was amazing, the scene with Donna in the room and how she dealt with it was the 1st time in a year I've laughed since Dad Died. Ncuti nailed it from the moment he appeared that's "I am the Doctor" moment it needs to happen within a short space of time, The music was just right For me this leaves the TARDIS door wide open either for a UNIT show or dare i say it a series of specials on Disney+ for DT/CT when the main show isnt on.

Wow, The Giggle was definetly a ride. 😅 The Fourteenth Doctor at the dinner table with Donna & everyone. I loved how happy he was. 🥹 Bless him, I teared up. ❤❤➕🔷

Honestly I’m so happy that I shed a tear of joy at the end of this instead of the alternative

I am so happy that the Doctor is getting a chance to heal, really heal, with his best friend. Whilst the Doctor, who is healed, is continuing the adventure. Yep. That was good. 👏🏻💙

As a nb person, I felt so happy that one of my favourite shows with these specials offered an open hand and said "We see you, and we welcome you to join us as an equal, as someone who is seen and someone who will not be judged". Thank you.

The VLINKS being an unexplained thing that might contribute to a story later is such a good bit of RTD sci-fi. There were a couple drops like that in this episode- "The One Who Waits", along with the Toymaker's Legions, are two other concepts we're introduced to that we currently have no other information on, along with the hand that grabs the gold tooth. We also still don't know who "the boss" Meep mentions is.

Some of the best writing in Doctor Who. Well done to everyone. Left a mark for generations to come.

The casting was perfect

I didn’t realize it this episode sets up so much. “The One Who Waits, Toymakers legions, the Unit show, the Master. The future looks bright

David Tennant, the only Doc to regenerate 3 times.

So lovely to see Ncuti's title card read. Welcome Fifteen! Lovely to have you.

This set of specials is a true masterpiece, it's beautiful, it's moving, it's diverse, it's nostalgic, it's fun, it's insightful, it's compassionate, it's cathartic, it's healing, it's hopeful. It's better than I dared expect. I love every single person who contributed to this set of episodes and appreciate every minute of it.

This was such a backdoor pilot for that rumored UNIT spinoff. I can feel it in my bones.

This opens up the fact we could easily see David in future episodes where they need 2 Doctors to save the day!

I never thought that the Doctor would be able to split its bodies during the regeneration/bigeneration. I was bursting of joy and excitement 🤩🤩

My heart is still dancing over this episode. I was so happy I couldn't stop screaming and clapping. My husband was grinning from ear to ear and laughing at me but he was just as pleased. RTD, you seriously knocked this one out of the park!

I was SOO happy not to have to ‘lose’ DT again!!!!

I was a bit hesitant with the first two specials, but I think this one was amazing! Ncuti killed it as the new fresh doctor and I loved Patrick as the toymaker. I do want to point out that this is the second time there is another David Tenant in existence cannonicly simultaniously with the "main" Docter. Not that I'm complaining.

This sincerely might just be one of my favourite episodes of the show, period. I’ll have to give it some time before entirely committing to that, but I can at least say that Neil Patrick Harris’s Celestial Toymaker most certainly is a new favourite. He captures everything you want in a Who villain; campy, menacing and ultimately just an absolute riot to watch! That dance sequence was just magnificently silly! And as for the story itself, I gotta say that twist at the end (I’ll try and stay spoiler-light, but maybe wait to read this next bit if you haven’t seen it), is actually something that really worked for me; despite the controversy in the fandom it’ll no doubt cause. It’s an anniversary, after all, so wrapping everything up in a nice little bow is honestly just a perfect send-off to me; I mean, as the characters literally pointed out, David Tennant’s Doctor has earned his swan-song! And Ncuti Gatwa… I already know I’m going to love his Doctor. We’ve never really had a Doctor (minus Christopher Eccleston’s 9 I suppose, due to his off-screen regeneration) introduced with such a definitive sense of who they are. And man do I like it. Comforting, vibrant and ultimately radiating fun: yeah, this guy’s gonna be good! So yeah, safe to say I loved it. As a whole, the 60th anniversary itself was not what I expected but, despite going into this episode with uncertainty on whether it could stick the landing, it gives me an innumerable amount of joy when I say that this gave me everything I wanted and more. Doctor Who is never going to be objectively perfect, but this is pretty damn perfect to me. Now, let’s bring on Christmas!!!!

Just here for the history 🎉 Haven't felt auch joy from Doctor Who for six years now. I was ok with the Star Beast, impressed but wanted more with Wild Blue Yonder and the Giggle really felt like special. Thank you Russell, David and all the team and good luck to Ncuti - can't wait for him to meet Millie!

“David tennant is an icon to all of us” he says, while David is standing there looking ridiculous 😂😂 the glasses took me honestly 🤣🤣

I just came here to listen to Ncuti Gatwa say "don't forget to subscribe to the official Doctor who KZfaq channel" I love him already

9:34 Just a reminder that David Tennant is in his 50s. He really is incredible!

As an occasional wheelchair user I do not appreciate her making me cry with that story. I'm bawling my eyes out now. 😭😭😭

When he did the puppet show and kept saying, "Well that's okay then!" - that was SUCH an amazing bit.

Can i just say the prop / puppet department is freaking killing it! Such amazing work! The robot last week, the puppets this week, such a joy to see!! One thing i really loved from rtd's first run was that they used a lot of puppets (dalek-squids, face of boe, etc.) which are always gonna feel more grounded than cgi-enemies, for example chibnals cgi-dalek-squids looked good but i still prefer the prop versions. That being said, the vfx-department also is also doing a fantastic job, i feel like both are working together really well :)

Neil Patrick Harris was hilarious as The Toymaker. Especially that scene of him dancing to Spice up your life. Gave The Master a run for his money.

The Giggle was fantastic and a great way to cap of the anniversary. The doctor becoming two was great to see and it really gave Ncuti a chance to show that he's the doctor before his first proper story has even been shown. My favourite part of The Giggle was when the 15th doctor sets of the Tardis with 14 and Donna leaving and 14 looks back at 15 with the look of sadness yet confidence that the universe is in safe hands, that's at least how l saw it anyway.

As a wheelchair user I've always wondered how I'd fit into this amazing world. To know the Tardis will be wheelchair assesible makes me really happy as a who fan and I'll be excited to see how someone like myself can travel with the Dr. as it'll make me feel even more connected within the show. Love that they made the sets accessible instead of casting someone able bodied into a chair too it's just brilliant. The world we live in is already difficult to access at the best of times so having a world I love be what even our reality seems to lack so often really goes beyond words.

When he kept saying "Well that's alright then", damn. Lethal delivery.

David Tennant's Doctor getting a happy life, that just feels so good.

david tennant, 50 odd year old man running around and doing somersaults and I pulled my back going up some stairs...

This episode was an absolute, all-time classic. The first two episodes had their ups and downs, but this one was truly incredible from start to finish. I seriously can't wait to see what the future has in store!

"i was gonna do the one handed cartwheel" OF COURSE you were david,, totally, 100%

NPH was the STAR of this episode, he really killed it.

You've heard of a triple threat, not get ready for a quadruple threat. He can sing, he can dance, he can act, he can bend reality to his every whim and makes a terrifying villain.

We had the end to Doctor Donna we NEEDED, so my heart can heal after 16 years of crying! and I cant wait for the new guy!

I personally think The Giggle was a great special. My favourite of the three. Loved seeing Mel, Neil Patrick Harris was great as the Toymaker, David & Catherine were great as always. It was fun. ♥ ♥ ♥

14:30 NCUTI SAID THE LINE

David Tennant's Doctor(s) finally getting the family they deserve is the best way a story arc can end. After the Tylers, after the Joneses, after Joan Redfern, even after the Ponds, he can finally rest and be a part of a family... with maybe some Big Finish stories along the way.

This episode was AWESOME! I loved all of it. Perfect.

10:30 is giving "theatre kid forced to do sports" energy and I LOVE IT

It’s actually beautiful what Russel has done bringing different people together making people apart of it. Wheelchair accessible etc you don’t take these things for granted but yeah it’s great that other people can be apart of that.
