EDIT: I've noticed a lot of comments telling me not to watch the specials first. TOO LATE! I did and REGRET NOTHING! LOL My choices are my own and NO ONE ELSE'S! Anyway, loving this show SO MUCH! 🛸 The FULL/UNEDITED reactions to ALL 4 specials and the start of Season 1 (ninth doctor) can be found on PATREON: www.patreon.com/chachisays

DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU TO START WITH DAVID TENNANTS SEASON. people need to stop doing that. there's only one season of newwho before him and apart from it being brilliant you really need to see it to understand the later seasons.

Hearing you say “I want her to go visit Wilf and I don’t even know who he is” means a lot as I love Wilf as a character and like many other Whovians (Doctor Who fans) see him as the Whoniverse’s grandad (and even his actor Bernard Cribbins who is sadly no longer with us 😢)

They knew these specials would bring in new viewers who would then go back to the beginning, so you are doing it the way they hoped you would. Great reaction, definitely excited to follow along on your Doctor Who journey.

The Government have known about the Doctor since the late '60s. During the 1970s, he was stranded on Earth, and served as UNIT's scientific adviser.

"I want her to go visit Wilf and I don't even know who he is" Wilf is Donna's granddad and is an awesome character. When you get the chance to watch her series (Series 4), you'll learn just how sweet he is. Glad you enjoyed your first episode of Doctor Who. Welcome to the Whoniverse!

I am old, and grew up on Dr. Who. I remember rushing through Sunday dinner so I could plop down in front of PBS to watch. And for all that, Donna is my favorite character of the entire show. I really related to her character arc. Would love to see your reaction to the New Who years, seasons 1-4. :)

Okay, so I was really worried that if you'd seen no Doctor Who before none of this would make sense. I loved your reaction and that you immediately 'got' who Donna was (definitely my favourite Doctor-Companion pairing so far in the 2005- Nu Who era) and that you were so invested in their story. It's great watching a reactor who gets genuinely invested in a show. I'm so happy you're starting with the 2005 Series 1 and can't wait to see your reactions. Welcome to the show, I feel like you're already becoming a Whovian!

I’ve been watching dr who since the 70’s when I would sneak out of bed and turn on our local pbs station. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to see it anew through your eyes. The meep was voiced by miriam margolyes, briefly known as prof Sprout in Harry Potter, but widely known as just her fabulous self on British talk shows. Now THAT is something you MUST see. Just do a quick search for Graham Norton & her, you won’t be disappointed. She is so gay and tells the raunchiest stories in the most proper British way. I just adore her, almost more than dr who.

This is my favorite show!!! You definitely need to watch it from the first season. The whole Donna story is amazing, her chemistry with Doctor is great. And also you need to meet Captain Jack Harkness ❤

This is awesome how you are doing it. They intended for this series to bring in new viewers and for them to go back and rewatch. Don't let anyone give you any guff on it. I've been watching since the 1970s and you are doing it perfectly! Enjoy the journey!

You'll pleased to hear that a cuddly Meep teddy was spotted in the Doctor Who display at the recent Toy Fair industry expo in the UK. So it looks like you will be able to buy one some time this year!

Donna’s always been my favorite NewWho companion. She has such great chemistry with the Doctor - together they’re so funny. She is witty and has great comedic timing, and she also has such compassion and sense. I’m glad they brought her back for these specials. Can’t wait to see more reactions for Dr Who from you. I’m really looking forward to Ncuti Gatwa’s time as the Doctor because he has such energy and joy in the role. Should be fun!

David Tennant in this is not the same incarnation he played previously before he was previously the Tenth Doctor in these specials he's The Fourteenth.

So happy for you getting introduced to Dr Who!! I love the specials and it's a great place to start. I appreciate you getting the emotional beats. I'm sure you will love Wilfs full story when you meet him. The actor died soon after these were shot. I loved him because he was in lots of UK childrens tv when I was growing up 😢❤

oh my god, I can't wait for you to come back and rewatch these specials after watching all the previous episodes. I can't wait to join you on that journey!

I’m so glad you’re watching this. Probably would have made more sense to you to get a little bit of backstory but it’s easy to pick up. Donna and the Doctor were my favourite duo- they could have easily made her another romantic interest- but never did and I’m eternally grateful they stuck to that and she continued to be the Doctor’s best friend. Their chemistry is amazing!

Important to know that when the Doctor dies, his body changes - it regenerates - and we (usually) get a new actor in the role. That's how the show has kept going for decades...

This version of the TARDIS interior was brand new on screen in this episode - it's looked different over the years - but this is the biggest TARDIS set they've ever built for the show

For me as a dr who fan i watched it when i was 4 years old in 2006 as the years go by when the 60th specials came out i recapped all the dr who seasons from 1963- 2023 leaning towards the star beast wild blue yonder and the giggle and church on ruby road im looking forward to the new season

The Meep & the tall green guys are Doctor Who comic book characters from 1980... never seen on screen til now

So excited you're watching this show! I actually think this is a great place to start, get invested in the world and meet a couple of its characters! And if you do commit to the show and its crazy, brillient stories and characters.. oh boy, have you got a lot to look forward to!!

Something you may have already noticed is some Who fans get very 'gatekeepy' and CRAZY 😂 they will tell you 'do this' 'dont do this' 'you should hate this' 'you should love this' 'this doctor was the best, how can you prefer this one'. I get people have a passion, and I love Doctor Who too but my god some people go wild 😂 Enjoy and welcome to the Who family!

"I'm sure this is a wholesome show, doesn't really kill a lot of people, I don't believe. " 😬😶 I appreciate the unique reaction by using the 60th as the start point, and I'm glad you fell in love with these two so quickly.

Can't wait to watch your Dr Who journey! Love that you're starting with the Specials so randomly haha 🤣❤

It'll be cool when you eventually get back to these episodes after watching the show! Especially specials 2 and 3 have more weight when you really go through everything that's happened since the Doctor saw Donna last. She really is his best friend.

I watch lots of reactions and don't comment often, but your reaction was very fun to watch. Loving your energy and your amazement. It's also interesting to see how these specials could be perceived by a new watcher. Hope you had fun watching them!

Don't let them put doubt in your mind for your choice to start here. Doctor Who has and will always be a show where you should be able jump in with every new Doctor. And yes you miss out on some of the emotional punches by not knowing the 100 something episodes leading up to this. Yes this episodes ties up a lot of lose ends, yes this episode is a lot better if you know the previous adventures. But come May you have the advantage of following the story of chuta gatwa as well as the old doctors. And that is your choice. A tiny bit of spoiler, is a small price to be able to experience the 15th doctor. Is this the ideal way to watch Doctor who? No, but the wrong way neither. It is as you say, your choice, and now you can enjoy 15 with the rest of us when he comes out and that's pretty awesome.

Such a fun reaction! I can't wait to see the rest! It is fair with wanting to start with David episodes, so starting with the 60th episodes makes sense, BUT I'm ALSO very glad you went back to "Rose" after you finished the four specials. In case they haven't been recommended yet, a couple of things I would suggest for getting your David Tennant fix would be Around the World in 80 Days (PBS series) and a stage production he did of Much Ado About Nothing that you can find on KZfaq, which ALSO starts Catherine Tate (Donna).

it's great to see someone starting with the specials, i look forward to the next doctor who reaction!

Yes!! A Chachi Doctor Who reaction is exactly what I needed today. So glad that you like it so far! They did a really good job at reintroducing the classic duo of Donna an the Doctor in these specials. Can’t wait to see your next reaction and hopefully a Who reaction series. 😁

"I thought Marvel's Doctor Strange and Doctor Who were the same thing," LMFAO! But for real, I'd love to see Benedict Cumberbatch take on the role of The Doctor in Doctor Who. 🤣 Also, Donna is and always will be my favorite companion. When I found out she was coming back for the 60th Anniversary Specials, I got so excited and I, dead ass, cried when I saw the trailer for this and saw her in it

20:18 "im sure this is a wholesome show, doesn't really kill a lot of people" im just...im just gonna stay quiet on this one😭

I'm so happy! I don't care how you watch this or in what order. I'm going on this journey with you! David Tennant is MY Doctor and he always will be. Has anyone mentioned a show called "Staged?" It has Tennant and Michael Sheen and it's comedy gold! It began during the Covid lockdowns and it's so funny. I think you would love it! Welcome to the world of being a David Tennant stan! There's a whole lot of us! Lo

I loved & liked all three 60th Anniversary Specials. I saw all the Specials on Disney +.. Aĺ the Specials are awsome Exciting great & fun Episodes to watch.. I have them on standard dvd & ɓlu-ray... I am also gonna order tge steelbook of the 60th Anniversary Specials when i can find it... 🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼A+ I am also a Huge David Tennant & Doctor who fan..

I love this reaction so much!! Thank you :)

Don't listen to the people here: you don't need to go back to the 2005 reboot - you need to go back to start in 1963!😉 Seriously, start where you want and just backtrack if you feel like it. If you want recommendations for the good stories to watch from the previous Doctor's eras, just ask and we'll give you some recommendations. However, I would recommend that Season one Story one is a necessity (or at least the first episode is) if only to see where it all started 60 years ago!

I wouldn't say the Specials are a good place to start DW, but since you watched it anyway, welcome to the Whoniverse! After the Specials, best to start from Series 1, Christopher Eccleston's series. Or if you're lucky enough, watch An Unearthly Child, the very first DW episode. 💙💙

David Tennant and Catherine Tate have AMAZING comedic chemistry - if you're enjoying their chemistry in these specials, I highly recommend watching their performance of Much Ado About Nothing, or at least some of the 'best bits' clips which you can find on youtube - I watched it in person and was CRYING with laughter seeing their bickering.

of the three christmas specials, I liked this one the most. mainly because was 'classic' who. But if you want to know who rose was, you should start at the start. The whole who thing, all the seasons, all the doctors (he reginerates, letting new actors be 'the doctor'). You'll be binge watching for weeks (evil laugh)

The funny thing is, we can't stop you on which is the first epiosde you want to watch firsst (Also, wanting your first Doctor to David is valid and understandable). But at tthe same time, you also have to understand why we don't want people to just jump out of nowhere, cause contexts, as well as spoilers that sometimes get mixed up in the overall season (such as this, where this character Donna, was already in the Doctor's life in the previous series) Anyway, i just want to wish you all the best and hope you enjoy the show :D

I just found you and loved watching you take this in. What a place to start! Please don't stop, in on board for where you go next.

Don't listen to the naysayers here! You start Dr Who however you want to! I started with the regeneration of 9 into 10 and I regret NOTHING! Watch it in the way that makes you the happiest. GO is what led me to my David Tennant obsession and watching Dr Who. He also does another wonderful show with Michael Sheen called "Staged" and it's definitely worth checking out. It is HILARIOUS!! Thank you for going down this fun rabbit hole Chachi!

Well, I've just subscribed, hah! My favourite show, always love seeing someone go through it for the first time.

This was such a great episode and it's wonderful to see how much you enjoy it despite not knowing the show. You're right, the Meep is like the cat from Cats and Dogs, I wonder if that inspired them. I am old enough lol to have been scared by Doctor Who in the 70s, hiding behind the sofa. Tom Baker was my Doctor. If you just want to watch the last 20 years worth.... well I'd definitely start with the Chris Ecclestone's series. For me he's the best Doctor of the "new Who" era, and my fave episodes are the last ones in his series. And much as I'm a life long Doctor Who fan, David Tennant's best role IMO is Crowley.

It was great to see how well the story worked, and how much you got out of it and felt for the characters despite not having watched any DW before. Thank you for doing it this way, it became a real treat!

It's so weird seeing the Doctor drive a car. That part gives me Crowley flashbacks.

All aboard the Whovian Express. Next stop: everywhere.

Great reaction. Hope you will watch the rest of the specials.

I first watched Doctor Who in 1980. My first Doctor was FOUR. And this series with Tennant is one of the best of all time. This episode was so, so, good. I won't spoil anything else for you, but will be watching your career with great interest. ;)

This was such a cute reaction, I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the rest of the anniversary specials!

Hello I'm a roleplay character based on Doctor Who. So glad your enjoying the show

They did make it sound as if Wilf was dead. It's not the Doctor's fault he thought that's what happened.

"I am the Beep of all the Meeps."

I've read a few Good Omens fanfics where either the 10th Doctor landed at the bookshop and met Crowley, or Crowley watched a 10th Doctor episode, or something along those lines, and people mentioned how they looked alike. In every single one Crowley is like, "... Naah, I don't see it." 😎

fun fact: doctor who is canon to marvel via the doctor who comics

love that you're watching this ❤

You gave me a great laugh here. About this show not killing. Hun. A big storm is coming in.😅😂

Hi i hope you enjoy the 3 60th birthday specials of doctor who starring David Tennant my beloved 10th doctor and 14th doctor for three episodes. I grew up with doctor who and the first doctor i watched was the 3rd incarnation Jon Pertwee in the 1970’s and the first doctor to be shown in colour but my fave doctor will always be 10 and 14 because i love David Tennant he’s a phenomenal actor and i’m not just saying that because we are both Scottish. He became an actor because he always wanted to play the doctor. He used to get into trouble at school because all his essays centered around being the doctor in doctor who and his dream came true. You’ll see when you reach his seasons. I enjoyed the star beast it was amazing to see David back but my faves of the specials are the next two. Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle. I hope you’ll react to them too and have subbed to your channel for watching the star beast also Donna is my fave human companion followed by Rose. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the show it’s been on since 1963 with a slight break then back with nu who. Take care 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Tbf the 60th specials are New S1 episodes 1, 2 & 3, 2023 Christmas being episode 4, then therell be 8 more episodes starting in May, then a 2024 Christmas Special. All making up a 13 episode series. So on paper at least starting with this makes sense (of course large chunk of Doctor & Donna & UNIT backstory is lost doing so) There are now 3-4 eras of the franchise 1.Classic era (1963-1989 /1963-1996 /1963-2005)-some say it ended with Classic S26 in '89/some say it ended in 1996/others say it lasted up to Revival Who starting. (2.Wilderness era (1990-2005))-When Doctor Who was no longer on TV but content carried on being produced as books/Comics/audio drama until Revival Who started March 2005) 2/3. Revival Era (2005-2022)-when Doctor Who returned to TV in a regular sense, went from Revival S1 Revival S13 3/4. New Era (2022+)-this era, where Disney had distribution rights but doesnt own it exactly, compared to the transition between Classic & Revival, the transition from Revival to New was more seamless, that some call/will call New S1, Revival S14. Started with a tie in comic from November 2022-November 2023 & a 5 minute Children In Special bonus before this episode. A dubbed version of the Comic story = kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpuTepZh1qrUk4k.htmlfeature=shared The Children In Need mini episode= kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMx8p6SVuM27gIU.htmlfeature=shared

So happy you liked this special and look forward to seeing you react to other Doctor Who episodes. I'm a big Doctor/Donna fan and agree that these two have such great chemistry together as friends. I've watched from Series 1 (Eccleston's Doctor) to Series 13 (Wittaker's Doctor) several times. And yes the name "Rose" is important to the Doctor. When you watch the earlier episodes you'll see just how much! No spoilers though.

Welcome to the bonkers world of Doctor Who. Enjoy the ride!

So the writer, Russell T Davies, is just excellent at, as one commentator described it, "ripping out your heart, setting it on fire and then stomping on it..." His work often carries a lot of emotion. His series "It's a Sin" was really great. Anyway, welcome aboard the TARDIS!

odd to start a show on a reunion episode 14 series in but i am glad you had fun

Yes, I am all for it.

My favourite doctor is Matt Smith the actor who came after David Tennant but my favourite assistant is definitely Donna Noble played by Catherine Tate her and David have really good friend relationship with 0 sexual tension or pining, my first Doctor though was Chris Eccleston he was before David Tennant I think that just shows my age lol. Don't know if you've heard of it but there is a programme called Staged that has David Tennant and Michael Sheen in it which is very funny recorded during lockdown in the UK

This was a joy to watch! :)

Totally get wanting to start with these specials, but once you've caught up on these four please do go back and react to the series starting from 2005's Episode 1 'Rose'

Welcome to the ever-expanding Who Universe. If you want to see all the content, you're out of luck because there is so freaking much -- 60+ years of the TV show, a movie, animated material, comic books, novelizations, specials... You picked a fantastic place to start. I wasn't sure if it would be, but the BBC thought it was and the Producer (RTD) thought it was and it turns out they were right. You're gonna love the ride -- and I've subscribed to take it with you. (Problem is there are only 3 more episodes before a hiatus until mid-to-late this year. Sigh. Another feature of this show is waiting. Running and waiting.)

See now youve seen the good special effects, the 2005 special effects wont scare you away.

Welcome to the whoniverse

I can't wait for the next special ! 💜

LOVE that you have started this! But you should have started with 2005 reboot. Also if loving David Tennant you should find a BBC series of Cassanova. David Tennant as Cassanova its amazing!

I'm glad you made a start - and were having such a blast. I warn you, it gets you. There's another Good Omens reactor I follow (sorry, I'm such a slut and you're not my only one) who I recommended start with "The Star Beast" because they loved Tennant. Oh boy did I get shot down by other Whovians for that. But you've vindicated my suggestion totally. I mean, you can always go back and watch more of the revival when you want (especially if you want more Wilf, you can do all of the Tennant/Tate stories. Coz he is lovely. I tear up just thinking about him.)

I always preferred being called a Whovian haha

I didn’t in the end, but I ALMOST started who with a Special too, so I get you 😂. Start where you want to start, but I’m glad to hear you’re going back to series one now. (Also for those that know the show, the special I almost started with was Waters of Mars. Love it but omg what a terrible first ep that would have been. The Star Beast is a much better opener for a fan.)

if you continue please please start with Christopher Eccleston. He's fantastic and doesn't deserve to be skipped. It's also the best place to pick up the lore unless you're going all the way back to classic.

Next 2 episodes really spice it up;)

During your final thoughts .... I didn't know wether to laugh or cry but I can't tell you what cause it would be * spoilers * You watching my favorite show? Hell yeah, I'll subscribe.

David Tennant things I've recently watched: _There She Goes, Blackpool, Inside Man, Deadwater Fell, Single Father_ . . .

Honestly I think The Church on Ruby Road (The new Doctor's first episode) would've been a better first episode (It was my little brother's first episode and he really liked it!) for you to watch but hey, I'm glad you still enjoyed this!

Donna's ending on the show always bugged me. Glad to see this second chance with the showrunner who took her memory away bringing it back.

Doctor Who fans do not know how to shut up about spoilers. Sometimes it's malicious, but a lot of times it just doesn't occur to someone that a piece of information could be considered a spoiler (that includes basic things like what having different doctors means, or how long the different characters are on the show for). I highly recommend having someone else moderate your comment section. At minimum try to avoid comments where people infodump series lore because they're "just trying to be helpful", especially if you're planning on going back and watching from the beginning. All the information these commenters are providing is given in the show in a much more satisfying and engaging way.

Nooo you can't start watching Doctor Who for the very first time with these specials! lol. There's so much history, lore, and emotional stuff behind these that flies over your head if you don't know. You'll also be spoiled a little bit. Especially in the last one. At least start from David Tennant's first season(season 2 of the new Doctor Who), that's what I did. I was planning to just watch his seasons(season 2-4) but then I continued with the 12th Doctor and he became my favorite and now I'm invested in the show as a whole haha.

Whovians. We are Whovians.

You should probably have started with the episode 'Rose' but I am glad you enjoyed this special.

Don't start with the specials - start with the 2005 episode Rose. Also get an episode map which will list the spinoffs and minisdes.

Will you start watching the show from the NEW beginning (2005) after you finish watching the specias? Like it would be nice to see you watching and reacting and posting on youtube the show from series 1 (from 2005) till the present

You do you, but I do recommend you start over with Christopher Eccleston'9th Doctor so you can catch all the New Who context!

You need to watch from the real beginning

The cute little Meep is eveil, and the bugeyed aliens are just trying to being the Meep to justice. Classic. (Can't they fix the Meep, though? A victim of radiation or something?)

Go back and start with season 1 from 2005. It's worth it!

While all the Doctors are great in their own right, I loved Matt Smith the most.

Let's go

I understand some people in the comments are telling you to start with David Tennant, don't. Start with Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor first though i would recommend starting from William Hartnell but if people don't have the patience for black and white and slow pace then start with Eccleston then when your caught up start Classic Who which i think is the best way to go.

start from the beginning!!! (please)

im so glad you're doing this but you need to watch previous season for this special to be "special"

If the BBC doesn't sell good and evil Meeps, they are missing out.

💜💜💜💜

I'm glad you liked the show, but you really should start watching at Rose S1E1.
