Some time back, RTD referred to episode four as the best thing he'd ever written. So high hopes for 73 Yards. Looking forward to Boom, hoping the old Moffat-writing-under-RTD magic is back.
Best thing he’s ever written full stop or best thing he’s written for Doctor Who?
@@CulturePhilter pretty sure he meant best thing he'd ever written full stop, not just Dr who.
@@AllThePiecesMatter_I think he said “one of…”
@@AllThePiecesMatter_ it’ll be hard to top “It’s a Sin”
@@ashleysherlock5705 completely agree. Some of my favourite episodes of the show full stop were written by Moffat DURING his showrunner era. And while they weren’t perfect I also prefer his story arcs to Russell’s 🤷♂️
"Space babies" is exactly what it sounds like, literally babies in space. From a short clip I saw anyway.
Yeah, I recorded this video BEFORE the trailer came out so have now seen the talking babies clip.
The monster in that episode is called The Boogeyman so makes sense to be something to do with actual babies
Oh wow... now you got my head spinning. If Ruby could be also a legend/myth/fairytalr bleeding into the world, here's my wild theory:
The person that Drops her off is wearing a hooded cape. Like an old _Riding Hood_
What's her name? Ruby! A different word for red. ==> Red Riding Hood
What was the big mystery the first time around RTD was in charge? Bad Wolf!
So maybe Ruby Sunday is the anathema to Bad Wolf?
Wild theory I know^^
It’s mad…. But I like it 😄
Empire Of Death could very well obviously be referring to the Daleks but then I don’t see how they’d come into play with the big mystery surrounding Ruby and the whole thing with The Toymaker’s legions. I’d love to see Ncuti face off against them but not if doesn’t fit anywhere in the overall story
He should face them *eventually*. But I say leave it to whatever his last season is. Or at least season 2
I would love it if Ruby was a created companion by a villain to observe the Doctor and infiltrate to steal or manipulate the Tardis in some shape or form
Would she turn it around at the end and save the day or would the Doctor have to “defeat” her?
I really think there is a real possibility that "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" could also be addressing why the Doctor keeps breaking the 4th wall also maybe by there is a camera etc..
Has he broken the 4th wall outside of promos though? I guess the wink to camera we’ve seen in trailer
@@CulturePhilter Well this is true.. but what if the promo footage is actually episode footage too? we just don't see it as such because hes talking to us 😶🌫🤣
Only 2 new writers is disappointing
Yeah. I’m not someone who thinks that there should be no returning “old guard” at all. I think a balanced mix of old and new is always good. But one episode out of 8 is a shame
@@CulturePhilterhopefully Series 15 is better in this regard, especially in regards to non-white writers.
@@CulturePhilternot a problem for me rtd wants full control of this series
As a big relaunch with only 8 episodes why take the risk of ending up with another ‘Orphan 55’ or ‘In the forest of the night’ ? Ed Himes & Frank Cottrell-Boyce were both new to Doctor Who & are both good writers generally but their 2 (each) Doctor Who episodes were some of the weakest the show has had (don’t even mention the talking frog )
@@nathanthomas5133 - to a certain degree that is probably what RTD is thinking… get the ship going with himself and another known hand first and THEN expand the writing pool.
That was a really cool way to present the episodes I must say.
And somehow I had this strange feeling Ruby Sunday would get a story involving a TV show followed by a title that seems like a death omen. Sounds eerily familiar...
Do you mean like “bad Wolf” and “parting of the ways” ?
@@CulturePhilter "Indeed I do!" (to quote the 1st Doctor in the Five Doctors).
They just sound very similar to me. I know the stories will be quite different, but 2024's S1 has some undeniable elements from 2005's S1, even in the Christmas special (I compared it with Rose back then). However, all the stories sound very interesting but I wish there were more writers to explore. I guess Russell doesn't want to take that risk yet, considering they probably have to pay and trust more people for something that is still being baked.
A new episode with “of death” in it has made me smile. I wonder how long it’s been since we got the last title with “of death” in it
Does “curse of the fates death” it’s ALMOST there 😄
We saw babies in trailer 2 and I'm loving the idea of mutant infants. Plus the Doctor speaks baby of course 😂
Yes, I recorded THIS video before the trailer had come out. Knew there was a chance that something in trailer would make what I said in this video obsolete but was only way to have time to get both out same evening.
@@CulturePhilter I think as a first episode premise it's really good, especially for those who haven't seen the show before, sort of the kooky side of Doctor Who that is something a bit different. Can't wait to watch them all!
@@MrApplelovin - yeah looks like they’ll be really mixing quirky with horror in that first ep.
👌
👍
I'm sorry but Empire of Death SCREAMS Daleks. Also a very 70s-esque title. Love it!
Oooo it could be couldn’t it. I really hope not though.
True there coming back
@CulturePhilter Honestly I understand people who say they need a break but I want Ncuti to face them in his first season then give them a break in Season 2, especially with this being an introduction to Doctor Who for many people I think including the Doctor's most iconic enemies makes sense!
@@friendlyotaku9525 I think I’d prefer the other way around. He does obviously need to face them at some point though.
Do you like Black Mirror Phil? I finished the most recent season not that long ago.
I'm very excited for this season of DW, despite it only being 8 episodes.
I do like it but I’m very behind on it. I’ve only seen the first of the Netflix made series.
❤
👍
Space Babies... Adult Adipose?
Boom... Slitheen revenge?... Or, More fun with River Song and the Weeping Angels, as its Moffat.
Rogue... The Rani/Dutchess?
Ah yeah, I guess the “rogue” could be the Duchess
Matt Smith is apparently appearing in the moffat episode, but as a different character
First I’ve heard that rumour. Doesn’t sound very likely and hope that’s not true.
@@CulturePhilter check today's date 🤣 sorry I couldn't help myself 🤣
@@drwhotvwam ahhhhh I was all vigilant on Twitter and forgot to be vigilant in my own comments😄
@@CulturePhilter hahaha sorry
@@drwhotvwam no worries, all in good fun. You didn’t quite get me believing it but you did get me believing that YOU believed it. So I guess you half got me 😂
I’m looking forward to seeing John Lennon in a Doctor Who episode
How much do you think we’ll actually see them though? I’m wondering if it’ll be two quick scenes and they’ll be trapped in their instruments throughout most of the episode.
No one else is.
@@user-un9go4qe5i I mean, you may not be, but I’m sure some others are.
@@CulturePhilter good question. Whatever they have planned, I’m looking forward to it.
Im still finding it hard to get excited about this ers ....RTD writing 6/8 episodes is .....something ....i mean FLUX coukdnt be helped as it was pwak pandemic but art was made this jowever ....i cant help but feel cautious about it all....73 Yards is interesting , BOOM i cant wait for full on Moffness too....i just wonder which ine RTD wanted Chibnall to write?! My gurss is possibly the Dot and Bubble episode?! But alas shouldve got charlie brooker for thst one my guess itll be an app where you get eaten by a slug ... Weve all been there
.my DMs have a few ;-)
RTD wrote quite of a few of series 1 in 2005 too didn’t he. I guess he likes to establish the ground first, hopefully we’ll see a broader range of writers for season 2.
@@CulturePhilter well hopefully it'll pay off
BOOM. That's a title for the Attention Deficit generation if ever there was one. And Space Babies? Seriously? This has got to be a joke...
I’ll wait to see if Space Babies works better given the context of the epiosde. I admit it’s maybe my least favourite so far.
First
👍
"Boogeyman"? Oh dear, another example of American mispronunciation usurping a native British term. It's really "Bogyman", from a traditional name for a devil or evil spirit, and has nothing to do with boogie or boogie-woogie (dance).
So “bog” as in a smelly watery/muddy place (eg: the bog of eternal stench) ?
@@CulturePhilter It's quite possible, Philip, although the word's origin is unclear. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say it's likely to have derived from the Brythonic (Welsh/Cornish) "bwgan", meaning a goblin, sprite or evil spirit. If so, ironically, perhaps "boogie" is closer to the original than I thought :)
The most popular spelling is Bogeyman - Bogyman is a much less used variant
@@ftumschk got to say I’d never noticed anyone saying with a pronunciation starting BOGey. But neither was I listening out for any subtle differences in pronunciation so my brain may have “autocorrected” it to BOOgy 🤷♂️
@@CulturePhilter I should point out for clarity that the "bog" bit rhymes with "rogue", not "dog"... i.e. it's "bogey", as in nasal snot or a bad score on a golf-course.
It was always, always pronounced this way as far as my generation and our predecessors were concerned. Then we started getting more exposed to US mispronunciations, and it's been downhill ever since :)
Someone told me Empire of Death was the title of a fifth Doctor BBC Books story. Could this be a similar retread?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Death
As for ‘Boom’ surely it’s a return of Ace? (Sorry lame joke based on Ace shouting ‘BOOM’ in Battlefield and yes I should know better). Great vids. Thanks.
I haven’t read that book but looking at the synopsis it doesn’t immediately lend itself to anything we know about this upcoming season. So I think it’s probably just a coincidence of title naming.
@@CulturePhilter No, although they are saying the series contains supernatural and more fantasy. But I’ve not read it either, so can’t help I’m afraid.
