What I love the most about historical 'guest stars' is all the little details about their real lives. Agatha Christie really did disappear for a week in 1926 and nobody knows why, which made it a perfect opportunity to tell that story.

so basically Agatha Christie is the glue that holds the universe together.

"I didn't know... I certainly hoped" God, not a day goes by where I don't miss Capaldi's doctor. It was a shock at first but by the end of his run I was just as hurt when he regenerated.

Not me realizing the thematic parallel / foreshadowing of Agatha forgetting Donna and the Doctor and the Doctor saying he doesn’t think she’ll have completely forgotten in tandem with the end of this season 🥲

i like how the doctor meets agatha crystie. and then he goes to the biggest library in the universe. he clearly was in the mood for more reading.

It amuses me, the suggestion that Death In The Clouds was inspired by a giant wasp. The book featured a completely ordinary wasp, but the cover artist had it close up, whereas the plane was some distance away. And as a certain priest pointed out, things look smaller when they are further away.

Another thing to add, as he was pulling out the book, he took out a screaming orb, listed as "Carionites". These were from one of the first Martha episodes, where they go to meet Shakespeare. (Also in that episode, we learn he angered the queen of England, the reason being revealed in The day of the doctor.)

I love how 10 just kept the orb with _all of the screaming witches in it_ just as a trophy

Makes me laugh, the tardis has a MASSIVE library (with a swimming pool in it) and the Doctor keeps Agatha Christie’s book in an alphabetised trunk under the console amongst cables and junk. 😂😂😂

The thing I like about the historical episodes in the RTD era is that at the end the doctor gives some quick facts about the historical figure.

Please make more of these. I didn’t realize how many continuity connections there were.

Its funny Unicorn and the Wasp literally helped my team win a pub quiz night years back because one of the highest point questions of the entire thing was asking who the best selling novelist of all time actually was (it is actually Agatha Christie!) and I knew the answer simply because of the Doctor's line at the end of the episode about it.

Love Capaldi "You knew this was dangerous" _"I didn't know I certainly hoped"_

4:18 "I didn't _knooow,_ I certainly hoped."

When I first watched 2:41 I remember being so disappointed it didn't say "Copyright: Donna Noble" 😂

I love how the carionites are still screaming in the crystal ball. Its a nice touch from the Shakespeare adventure.

4:11 Love Moffat including that line just to excuse using that plotline lolol

I just love how the Doctor keeps the Carrionites in a suitcase in the TARDIS

I love that the Carionites were still screaming

"Death in the Clouds" was the first Agatha Christie book I'd ever read (i was 13 or 14 at that time) When i started watching DW around 6-7 years later, and the doc showed the cover of the book i almost embodied a Leonardo di Caprio meme 😂 The wasp picture detail on the book cover had blown my mind! Agatha Christie did disappear for a week in 1926 and i thought it was quite brilliant of DW to use that to tell their story while incorporating the wasp into it too!

"I didn't knoooooow. I certainly *hoped*." I never noticed that line before haha. He's a bugger, isn't he, Twelve? haha

These community on point videos are great.

A fun thing though, is the same actress plays a character called Agatha in a completely unrelated movie ‘bright young things’,… and David Tennant was also in that film

omg i had no idea that the murder on the orient express was connected to that phone call, but of course how did i miss that

You know, a year's time seems like a lot of difference between him talking about it with Martha and then later seeing Agatha Christie with Donna, but for a guy who's so many years old, a year probably really is just "the other day".

Fun fact: The character, Sofia Lamb in Bio Shock 2 was based of Agatha Christie from Unicorn and the Wasp. Fenella Woolgar; the actress who played Agatha even voices Sofia in the game.

My favourite doctor who moment was when I was studying Shakespeare's life for my a levels and it turned out he had a recorded "blackamore" lover. The fact that they included that unknown woman as Martha in the episode was brilliant I thought.

I love how he give the Carrionite globe a bit of a shake lmao

2:31 Can we talk about how careless he was with the carrionites, what if the crystal ball broke?? Wouldn't they be free

Love this series of Doctor Who continuity. Really pleasant, thanks

You should make a series about Doctor Who continuity being NOT on point. (I.e. the Doctors age, 953 in Time and the Rani and 900 in Aliens of London.)

The doctor talking about "Not compelty forgetting" to Donna makes me very excited for the 60th

I loved the idea of the doctor having a big ol collection, I wanna see more.

2:26 Aaaaaaand... they're still screaming... I mean, OF COURSE he forgot about them...

That has to be one of the biggest coincidence in history or someone was good at their job. I wish I have that person's note taking skills

The mention in Sarah Jane isn’t really a continuity thing though

Boi I forgot the tardis has many secret compartments

0:30 Martha every time Doctor mentions going back in time.

MCU:”We have an interconnected universe with references to comics and past movies!” Doctor Who, existing since before Star Trek and expanding on old lore and Easter eggs from past episodes since the very beginning:”Hold my Umbrella.”

I'm from Harrogate so the fact that they mentioned it is always cool, kind of like they're talking about me😂 It's really stupid but not many people know about Harrogate as we're between Leeds and York so it's nice to be noticed 😂😂

Woahh so that one meaningless phonecall to the tardis was foreshadowing the episode with capaldi… damn

Wait so the phone call that 11 got about an Egyptian Goddess loose on the space Orient Express was, the foretold that 12 fights?? Well maybe they mistook the soldier for a goddess, can't blame them. What did 11 do to say no?

At that age, she was an athletic fit young woman who was doing things like surfing when she traveled to Africa with her husband.

"Noddy's not real"

fun video, nice. I always loved these moments on rewatch

Fenella Woolgar and David Tennant had previously worked together in the 2003 film Bright Young Things, alongside Michael Sheen, Mark Gatiss, Simon Callow and others.

Would you do one on Moment. It was initially foretold in RTD era, I think in Journey's end and then Moffat used it in 50th year anniversary.

Agatha Christie books sell 2 million copies in English every year. They have sold over 2 billion copies in over 100 languages since publication.

It's really cool that Sarah Jane referenced such an obscure Doctor Who character

love how one of the C's is "cables"

0:44 really insinuates the end of s3 and s4 being very close

Seems the tenth incarnation was the most vocal fan of Mrs. Christie, in addition to focusing on her in an episode. ;-)

I certainly “hoped”

It’s a shame they didn’t film at the real Silent Pool. It’s a lot more picturesque than the location they used.

I wish you'd show what episode/series each clip is from. Would love to see where everything takes place!

Came here from only JUST watching Wandavision... the fact they said "Agatha.. Agnes..." creeped me out a little bit

Rest in peace

They tried to tease the Orient Express at the end of series 5, but it was series 8 before we saw it.

i didnt KNOW but i hoped is such a doctor thing to say

She also appeared in Lord Edgeware Dies and Hallowe’en Party

3:30 Professor Lasky? Related to Halo 4 Commander Thomas Lasky by any chance? /J

0:51 speaking of continuity, looks like lady Cassandra in the background? 🤨

Took a while with that egyptian goddess...

You should include the 8th Doctor big Finish stuff.

Agatha Christie is Edith from Downton Abbey

Lmao, just casually pulls a glass ball full of word witches out of his junk drawer

I guess the scene where Donna and the Doctor visit her on her death bed, is a cut scene?

If Amy and Rory went with him to stop an Egyptian Goddess on the Orient Express then why would the villain do almost the exact same thing again but with a mummy?

Agatha Christie looks exactly like Marilyn Manson.

The only thing I really liked on this episode was Felicity Kendall. Nice to see her again. The rest was just sorta there.

And people made fun of me for liking power rangers.....this show looks sooo cheezy but I can't knock it cause of the nostalgia

Because the whiners are again trying to ruin everyone's good time, comments are now set to approve

Im still confused by how she published a book in the year 5 billion, ive seen that episode a number of times but i still have no idea

Dont be sad that its ruined be glad that it happened

The man who never Was…

13th Doctor is the best Doctor.

The story of Agatha Christie's disappearance from Wikipedia: "In August 1926, Archie asked Agatha for a divorce. He had fallen in love with Nancy Neele, a friend of Major Belcher.[13]: 173-74  On 3 December 1926, the pair quarrelled after Archie announced his plan to spend the weekend with friends, unaccompanied by his wife. Late that evening, Christie disappeared from their home in Sunningdale. The following morning, her car, a Morris Cowley, was discovered at Newlands Corner, parked above a chalk quarry with an expired driving licence and clothes inside.[35][36] The disappearance quickly became a news story, as the press sought to satisfy their readers' "hunger for sensation, disaster, and scandal".[13]: 224  Home Secretary William Joynson-Hicks pressured police, and a newspaper offered a £100 reward (approximately equivalent to £6,000 in 2021). More than a thousand police officers, 15,000 volunteers, and several aeroplanes searched the rural landscape. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave a spirit medium one of Christie's gloves to find her.[c] Christie's disappearance was featured on the front page of The New York Times.[38] Despite the extensive manhunt, she was not found for another 10 days.[37][39][40] On 14 December 1926, she was located at the Swan Hydropathic Hotel in Harrogate, Yorkshire, 184 miles (296 km) north of her home in Sunningdale, registered as Mrs Tressa[d] Neele (the surname of her husband's lover) from "Capetown [sic] S.A." (South Africa).[42] The next day, Christie left for her sister's residence at Abney Hall, Cheadle, where she was sequestered "in guarded hall, gates locked, telephone cut off, and callers turned away"." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie

nice

Subbed. Tenks for the rosa parks info

Is this really on point? Agatha Christie was a real person. The first two were just referencing her. The third was going back and time and actually meeting her. The forth was just cheap nostalgia. The rest are entirely unrelated or, again, just references to the actual writer.

The Doctor: "She is the best selling author of all time." J.K. Rowlings: "What am I to you? A joke?"

As someone who hasn’t watched doctor who wtf is going on

Guess you got to have seen at least one show for this to make sense. Huh..

I dont remember anything about the episode

I don't think I have seen the episode from the last scene

How do I not remember this bee episode

Oh, doctor WHO. I thought this was a WandaVision/dr strange video, don't mind me

Being self referential doesn’t constitute continuity. In terms of actual continuity Doctor Who is dog shit 😂

Till the ruined it all

Wait, does that mean the Foretold is a woman?

Ahhh, great to see the Doctors of the past.... Until that annoying Clara turning on him (as usual) at the end spoiled it!

i think maybe perhaps possibly by chance you dont understand what continuity means

The waffle House has found its new host

Oh Sarah Jane how you are missed, come to think of it I miss real Doctor Who, Tom is the 4th Doctor, and the Doctor is a Time Lord, sorry.

This isn't continuity... This is self referencing. Which is hilariously easy and cheap for the writers to do. Good fun but it isn't plot continuity in the slightest.

oh dear was it always this low budget

Doctor who is unequivocally a shit show most of the time but sometimes once in a blue moon someone has a braincell and stuff like this happens lol.
