RTD built a whole Doctor who world with consistency, stakes, consequences and continuity

i like how he said the hand was worthless to anyone but him even though if any species from dalek to sontarans would be storming earth for a single cell of that hand let along the entire thing

I love how Torchwood and Doctor Who drop each other's themes at key moments. Like the Doctor's theme as Jack cradled the hand, and the Torchwood theme as Jack ran to the TARDIS Bravo, Murray Also another note: Hand Doctor just throws a jacket on over a T-shirt and has a type of quick sass almost like... Nine's, tbh. And considering the line about Handy being "The Doctor when Rose first met him" she really did get both of her Doctors in one human package

"Donna, you can't even change a plug." That was just... such a good line 🤣

And now for the next bit of continuity involving 10's body parts: The Doctor's teeth.

_"I don't know where we're going, but my old hand is very excited about it."_ Not the sort of phrase you'd use every day without getting your face slapped. 😂

Any other writer: you can't write two different shows around a single hand! Doctor who and torchwood writers: hold our hand...

That last look the Doctor give his clone is very bittersweet. He's probably thinking how lucky this version of him is for getting to finally settle down and not be eternal

i've always loved the idea that no matter what there will always be a david tennant doctor out there in the world of doctor who

"You cut my hand off." He says with the energy of finding out a co-worker ate the last of the Krispy Kreme's. "You cut my hand off..........rude."

“Put that down, that’s worthless to everyone but me” -Me when someone touches my scraps in my garage

I never watched Torchwood, but I love how they used the 10th Doctor's theme when Jack was cradling his hand after the jar broke.

That beach scene will forever kill me. I'm so glad that she got her own Doctor but so sad that she only got a version of the Doctor, so sad that the Doctor had to move on without her, and so sad that the human Doctor knew who Rose would have picked if there were options. The look on the Doctor's face when Rose was kissing the human Doctor, too many feelings and emotions!!! 😭 Everyone had to lie to themselves a little bit in order to move on and convince themselves that the people they care about are happy 😭😭😭

It just occured to me that the Master could have potentially regenerated into David Tennant

I never realised until now how bittersweet the ending for 10 and Rose is, Rose gets her wish of growing old with The Doctor, while he has to live the rest of his life knowing he can never be with her.

This is why RTDs Doctor Who was my favourite. Such tight writing that even a severed hand becomes a key player. There are stakes, people can win and lose things. That doesn't happen so much with the newer ones, really looking forward to his return. The scene on the beach with Human Doctor was fantastic. He could give Rose something that the Doctor never could, and the acting was brilliant too. The stories didn't preach or hold our hands, they were complicated and subtle. The Doctor didn't tell Rose he loved her, nor did he say the human Doctor could be a better partner than him, but it was there on the screen.

You’ve heard of Checkov’s Gun, get ready for The Doctor’s Hand.

Remember when everyone was convinced that it was 10.2 and Rose in the 50th when Tennant and Billie were cast? A simpler time…

I just nuked my own brain with two simple thoughts: "Half human, half time lord" "I'm half human, on my mother's side"

That Rose/Doctor scene at the end always gets me because there is so much implied tragedy to that scene mixed with hope and a lot of it is unsaid but the acting, directing and music make it visible to the viewer in such an amazing way. 1. Rose realizes this isn't exactly the man she fell in love with. He has all thr potential and memories to become him and he very likely will, but it isn't exactly him. And so she immediately runs to him and kisses him grateful to have him offer to grow old with him, its all she ever wanted BUT she also realizes the man she trully loves just left never to return. 2. The doctor watches her kiss the meta him, smiling, happy to know shell have him and hell have her but is also filled with this devastating loneliness knowing hell never be able to be with this person he trully and deeply loved. Its kind of like watching the love of your life kiss a family member or best friend you deeply care for. Watching two people you love who in an instant are total strangers and so far removed from you. 3. And though shes in thr background you can see Donnas pain in seeing her friend go through this and she wants to be there for him and knows more than others how he feels due to that meta connection but also knoes there's not much she can do Super poignant stuff

This is so good something as inconsequential as the doctors hand being a big part of the masters age acceleration, 10s fake out regeneration, the doctor donna, and the ending to Rose's arch.

I feel this might be a purposeful editing choice by your part Penney, but I love how it circles back and the last shot is the doctor grabbing roses hand with his own. The same one that was chopped off

I somehow never noticed they played a version of the Doctor’s theme when Jack cradled the hand after it was broken out of its jar in “Day One” before-they were already telling us whose hand it was musically the whole time!

I love that part with the 10th copy (Meta-Crisis Ten) being in that state, just after growing from 10th's hand and Donna is talking to him. "it's you" "oh yes" "you're naked" "oh yes" Those are priceless reactions. XD

I love how he was just like "And i grew another hand, Hello" as he waved his hand lmao i died of laughter

I always loved the doc seeing Jack running to the TARDIS pleading to stop and the doc just like yah nope not dealing with that today an trues to leave

They ended Rose's story in simultaneously the saddest and happiest way

I wonder how the timeline/world that rose and the human doctor are living is doing? It’s been like 10ish years since they where last scene so it would be interesting to find out what’s been happening there

"Donna you can't even change a plug" "You wana bet time boy" As a child this made me laugh, as an adult, this made me laugh. This is why i love David Tenant's time of Doctor Who, it was always Funny + Serious when it needed to be.

Wow i wish they incorporated this during 13th and Clara's arc, there was a moment where it was stated that the destroyer of gallifrey would be part time-lord part human. And with tenant returning to be the 14th doctor, oh the possibilities.

In Series 6 River Song says they need to burn the Doctor’s body because a time lord’s body is valuable. I’d like to think stuff like this is exactly the reason why. I mean just look at all the things that can happen with just a hand.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't there an episode where it's mentioned that entire wars would be fought just for a chance to get hold of Time Lord DNA? Yet Jack had a whole hand just lying around half the time? XD

There’s never any surprises around regenerations. We always know the date, time, and new face from all the promotions, etc… Unless David Tenant is involved 😂

While I grew to really like 11, initially I hated that it sort of abandoned all that 10 had done. 10 was MY doctor and when I became obsessed with the show. Really hopeful now. Assuming the world doesn't end in 2023 in nuclear annihilation, it will be a great year.

Oh I didn't realise this video was 5 days old until I noticed all the comments were from the last few days. Nice to see videos like thus still being made.

These vids bring me so much joy

Thinking about it - Jack is technically responsible for the Metacrisis Doctor because of him recovering and returning the hand - huh

This was so brilliant! Thank you for putting this together!

Great vid! You could have also added the bit in The Time of the Doctor, just after Handles dies when the Dr exlpains to Clara "Well number 10 once regenerated and kept the same face, I had vanity issues at the time"

few things I noticed about this, 1. When the Master regenerated he instantly realized where he was, who he was, and what he was going to do. When the Doctor regenerates he gets temporary amnesia and takes a little for him to remember stuff. 2. Now here we are in 2022 and David Tennant will now have played 3 versions of the Doctor 10, technical 11, and now 14. (actually 11, 12, and 15 if you count the war Doctor.)

Makes me think, the David tennant doctor who was such a good doctor who that almost every companion got their own to keep. Rose got human doctor. Donna got one of the doctors that did a biregeneration. Only one that doesn't have a doctor is martha

Not to mention "the doctor-donna" from Fires of Pompei

Watch this while you can. The copyright system is treating the "Journey's End" clips with a strange double standard where it wants to block the video for using clips from that episode, while all the other clips are allowed to remain visible. I've tried to trim them down, but the detection software is still seeing them as long unedited clips, no matter how many ugly edits I make. I would not be surprised if it gets taken down again.

YOUR TELLING ME HIS HAND GETS A HAPPY FUCKING ENDING!? HIS HAND GETS LOVE?!

15:34 This connects well with 12's arc in season 9.

I just realised the container that Jack put the hand in is similar to the one we see the Face of Boe in, Prop Design coincidence or Intentional character connection?

If Chekhov truly had a gun, this is the hand he pulled the trigger with.

Remember that he won a swordfight with a tangerine. Saving the earth from a invasion and saving christmas while doing so.

love how a hand from the start of the 10th severed off was a plot point for torchwood, for the series 2 finale, a ton of small remarks about it, and in the series 3 finale it grew into a doctor who destroyed the daleks and stayed with rose. just a hand

That's was great editing it's Russell t Davis really understood doctor who

Doctor: *grows hand back.* Sycorax: "Witchcraft!" Zoe: "... We live in a spaceship dear."

“I’m not impossible…just a bit unlikely”

"witchcraft" says the space alien who used blood to hypnotize a bunch of people

9:07 Rose sounded so disappointed, I think it's because she knows she got to sleep with next doctor in a different universe.

At the core of the narrative for the first four seasons of Doctor Who, it's not about the Doctor, it's not about any of the companions, it's not about the Daleks, nor the Cybermen, nor the Master. No. It's the story of a severed right hand; its journey to personhood and an ultimate fate in a parallel universe. It's the only consistent character in both Doctor Who and Torchwood, and has been there right from the very first episode when reaching out to save Rose from the Autons. This is precisely the kind of writing I'm looking forward to from RTD in the new era. ✨✨

It's like the bit in Carry On Screaming where they grow an extra monster out of his finger.

Could you make a video on Jack/The Face of Boe? Specifically where he jumps on the TARDIS, causes it to crash at the End of The Universe where they find Professor Yana/The Master, and then cut to The Face of Boe telling The Doctor "You Are Not Alone"

sometimes I forget how weird the lighting in syndicated TV in the 2000s

Hold on there. Just thought if this. How could the TARDIS work with the doctor's hand inside and the doctor outside? When they tried to do that on the Christmas special with River Song, the TARDIS would not work because the King's head was in the TARDIS and the body was outside.

Now I want Handy, 10 & 14 to meet...

River SONG: Two of you, the mind races

Donna; * sounding smart * doctor: donna you can't even change a plug!

I felt that from the original doctor to see the girl he loves who he can’t be with, but with another him to be with her to see her happy is nice but very saddening 😢

One of my favourite Doctors!

I always thought it would be cool if Donna was the Doctors mother. If his father was exploring and followed a galifreyan energy signature to her and they fall in love. They have a child and the extra energy and intellect she absorbed is transferred into the baby. It’s a dumb theory but one I used to talk about with my friend. I don’t think it’s true I just thought it’d be fun.

"This hand... IS A FIGHTIN' HAND!"

When the Dr Who spin-off's musical score continuity is on point! Did I put the apostrophe in the right place?

You could say that's second-hand

I'm not crying, you're crying. 😢

Something I realised from this video is just how different rose is when she comes back lol

Hope they have torchwood come back. It be awesome get the new American crew back with jack

One thing, in The Husbands of River Song, the Doctor mentions that the time envelope can’t seal when it detects a person both inside and outside of the TARDIS. Now in the episode it was counting a robotic body, but it doesn’t count a still living hand?

Best doctor who for sure

This video series is less about the continuity being good now. All these videos are doing is showing that doctor who is a show with a plot

Who would've known that his hand would become his clone brother.

You could continue this video with the 60th release and the fact donna had a daughter to redurect the energy from the meta-crisis. But with what they have now it’s perfect

I only just noticed that the Metacrisis Doctor's outfit mirrors Rose's outfit. Nice subtle foreshadowing.

It still bothers me that our Doctor was mad at the Human Doctor for killing the Daleks. First, it's a more to-the-point version of what the original did minus killing off the Timelords too. Second, the Daleks were litterally made to exterminate all life. It's been proven time and again that they can't be bargained with. The only real option was to wipe them out to save the universe. Again.

i hope we'll see the "Donna" Doctor again/hear about him in the tv show.

It's only fitting the hand got a happy ending.

Jack was a true friend and companion, even after the doctor ran away from him, he excepted the doctor in every form without hesitation question. Rose wouldn’t have, she loved ten.

Still waiting for him to come back as the Valleyard, but now that we got the other 14th, I guess it’ll be him.

8:08 I remember watching this one, the episode ends right after he starts regenerating

I shutter to think of what Jack did with the Doctors Hand!

You cut my hand, I can't believe you've cut my hand,how could you have cut my hand

The doctor did mate with Donna at the end

RTD, the king of over-the-top deus ex machina endings. But we love him for it anyway.

At 16:03 someone is still cutting onions.... after all those years....

The hand wrist got long then short again

Now im thinking deeper into it how did that hand survive with absolutely no damage not even q cut or scratch

I'd almost forgotten how bad a lot of the adr was in Torchwood lol.

Makes me wonder why 11, 12 and 13 didn't lop off a hand so they could also regenerate without changing.

Say what you will about Flux, but I'm just hella happy that the next special is going to finally give Donna her criminally late proper closure.

The hand scene at the beginning with Jack, was just terrible. Barrowman as awesome as you are you aren't the best actor but my god you are a charming Scot.

I forgot how much that hand cropped up

I wonder is younger Rose is going to be in the new season.

"I didn't want to change. Why would I? Look at me." And that from the Doctor who complained that he wasn't ginger.

Do we ever see anyone pick up the hand and place it in that jar? Or does someone ever mention doing it?

“If only I had The Doctor’s Biological Code” *Sas Mode Activated* “Oh, Wait a minute, I do!” *“I’VE GOT HIS HAND”*

HOLD ON. There is a head in a jar next to Capt. Jack's hand! Looks similar to the Face of Boe! (At 1:11 ) Could mean a lot of possible theories!!! Damn I never noticed this. - 1. Could the Face of Boe be a fake alias? That Jack isn't the face of Boe but rather has close connections to them? - 2. Could the head here be from the future? Like an earlier version of the Face of Boe that Jack asks for information on how events transpire? Since The Face of Boe had already lived through it? Maybe the rift allows the paradox to happen? I am unsure if the head here could be something from the extended lore or old Who so I apologise for posting this if that is the case.
