I love how some Doctor Who episodes are very touching and emotional and make you cry, and some are just silly and funny, and some do both.

I think my favorite thing about this episode is the fact that Rose's dad isn't even a great guy. He's wasting their money on get rich quick schemes and failed businesses, he's accused of cheating and is implied to not be doing much of the work raising his baby, he and Jackie probably would've broken up within a few years. But he still loves Rose above all else, and is brave for her at the end. And in spite of seeing the reality of who he was, Rose still loves him because he's her dad. I just love when shows allow their characters (especially parents of main characters) to be complicated people.

An underrated episode! Despite the tacky CGI (which was actually incredible for a 2005 British TV show at the time), I DO think the Reapers should come back! There are many episodes we don't see them when they SHOULD have appeared, but essentially this can be explained off! Sometimes I forget this episode exists which is sad because out of ALL New Who episodes, this is one of the ones with the most depth!

An underrated episode... the first to hint at how well written this show becomes... this shows greatest strength is its variety... u never know what you'll get, scares, feels, tears, ancient Rome, 60s America or some far flung space battle in the future... (and the effects get better each season as technology improves and budgets increase due to the shows success.....

This is one of my favorites. Gets me every time. I love her dad. 😢

Definitely one of the best episodes in Doctor Who

I love that episode, campy effects and all. Reminds me why Eccleston is my favorite Doctor. Great reaction -- I'm glad you're enjoying the show.

These videos never fail to make me laugh.😂 So cute!

I have like a love and hate relationship with Rose there are times where she is Annoying and selfish. but there are times where she's caring and smart at times this episode made me realized how interesting she is how how she has grown during the series.

One of the *best* episodes of Series 1.

This episode makes me cry every time 😢❤

Yes, this is when things really started to get interesting. Yes, the creatures were a bit silly - I would have preferred some sort of 'effect', maybe just randomly zapping people into dust or something - but the story and the acting from all the main players was excellent.

I recently found your channel and I’ve been binging your Doctor Who reactions. It’s my absolute favorite show and I can’t wait to see your journey. I appreciate the content you’ve been putting out. It’s been a great distraction for me. My wife and I lost our daughter a week before she was due in January and I’ve been really struggling since then. I’ve tried to keep myself distracted as much as possible and your videos help me escape for a little while. I love reaction channels. As part of my therapy for dealing with my grief, my therapist suggested I find something that makes me happy to put my free time into. I’ve considered starting my own reaction channel. I was wondering if you had any advice for someone who doesn’t know what they are doing? But anyway, thanks for the content that’s helped me escape from reality.

I just found this channel and I really hit the jackpot. Doctor Who, Supernatural, One Tree Hill, Grey’s Anatomy. All the shows I love!(and still finding other shows) I’m watching all of these reviews simultaneously lol. Now if you start Downton Abbey I’d lose my mind lol.

Spoilers in the comments... I love this episode. Gives all the characters, even Mickey, a little bit of complexity.

With the new doctors changing things these should be happening all the time XD

Oh the next batch is pretty good. Buckle up.

i love this episode so much. really made me warm up to Rose too, who I initially found rather annoying

When it comes to Doctor Who the bad special effects whether it's bad CGI or campy you can easily look past or get away with it does not matter the bad special effects is part of the show's charm what really makes the show is the storytelling. If you think the special effects in the new series is outdated and campy wait till you see Classic Who 😂. The episode was ok it's not really a favourite of mine but it is considered a fan favourite and really popular episode i just find Rose irritating and i'm not into the big family drama stuff i think those kind of storylines should be left in soap operas. I do love the scene where The Doctor finally gives it to Jackie when she keeps questioning his authority.
