This is genuinely one of the funniest scenes in all of Doctor Who! 😂 The guard gets so into these philosophical questions and The Doctor looks genuinely lost & outdone! 🤣

Which is like the football fan in their armchair, screaming at the telly that their team would be assured victory if only they'd listen to what they are shouting to do.
@@eonetim ah I get you! The fans yelling at the TV what to do when it isn't realistic that will happen. I just am tired of all the hate for Jodies run when you can tell everyone tries the hardest to bring out enjoyable stories! That tries to be consistent with the universe while also being new. I personally, enjoy everyone of Jodies episodes and each one she has very beautiful moments. And that's something that rtd/moffat was missing. They went for these grandiose adventures and missed what the doctor was about. They got all mixed up with these crazy fantastical titles and names. Instead of having fun adventures. And Jodie has such a love and care as the doctor it is so tender and pure and just beautiful. I'm honestly stunned at the hate, and I'm saying it as a long time viewer.
@@eonetim I know another example, marvel fans, that wanted Cox back as daredevil, then complain when given it because it's "too much like the comic book" or "too much fanservice" I honestly don't wish to be these creators that have to appease these crazy fans
One of my favourite DW scenes ever. Lots of great moments in S24, a season that is so much better than people give it credit for. Loosen up, "serious" fans! This is a FUN season!
Considering Glitz's native timezone is long after the final collapse of human civilisation he could probably buy Iceworld outright with a Dutch master or a Strativarius
The shear joy of this. By this time in the show all that was left in the audience were the hard core fans. Rather than fight that the writers embraced obscure philosophy, morality and out right insanity
Something modern television doesn't get. It is better to be cancelled as the embodiment of what you are than try and twist yourself into something you are not. You know... like the Twi-Who of 2005 onwards.
Probably a glitch in the TARDIS translation circuit. Glitz's first story was set in the final gasping inbred days of the human race so its most likely that its a similar myth from his own culture or that it was bought off someone with a likeing for the mythology of obscure extinct species.
@@DarthAzabrush I’m not sure about “best” but I absolutely love it! I’ll never get the hate of it, itMs and 80s return to the mystery the theme ought to have. Though David Arnold does do it better with the audios
@@michaelpuglisi6767 My favourite bit is the astmatic hamster playing the bagpipes in the middle eight. I mean that is what Doctor Who music should be... really weird and random. Big Finish has pulled off some real stunners its true. Gallifrey (both before Torchwood ripping them off enforced change and after) and Paternoster in particular are brilliant. The latter takes inspiration from Roy Clarke of all people!

@@michaelpuglisi6767 That was a criticism of the remake in general. Jodie's era is actually the most intelligent part of it which isn't saying very much.
In my mind, I always remember Sylvester McCoy's Doctor as obscenely overacted and part of what killed that iteration of the show ('... the gods of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrragnarok!') but this was quite good - just the normal cheap BBC sets and production values.
BBC shoving Doctor Who against 18 million Corrie viewers while repeatedly slashing its budget and begging for an opportunity to take it behind the woodshed is what killed the show - and it's easier to blame whoever was holding the flag when they finally got their wish (without thinking about everything that preceded it). Seeing as they were already cutting 90 million corners -- including safety regulations -- time was never a luxury during this era, nor was it receiving any real support from anyone, and that began long before McCoy intentionally overplayed his rolled R's to entertain gluttons during a meta-commentary about the show itself (and the people watching it).
I remember tuning in for the new series (or in reality watching a recoding) and being disappointed to find that instead of seeing Colin Baker (whose departure I didn't even know about) I was watching the guy from Eureka. At the time I didn't think he was right for the role, and found some of his performances in TaTR rather clunky. Now I know why they were clunky, because the lines were written with the expectation they would be performed by Colin Baker. This was around the point I stopped watching. However, I came back to the show watching repeats on UK Gold during the mid '90s. I actually came to like McCoy in role, and enjoyed his stories.

The chessmaster became the rook. XD
Particularly considering that the guard's response concerns stage performance.
It is one of the few times the doctor is absolutely defeated by someone, especially someone who is not the villain of the serial
1:19 the face you make when your attempted distraction has turned into an actual stimulating conversation that you don't actually want to leave
Anyone else thinking that whole philosophical discussion was adorable 😅
Sylvester McCoy's doctor was both fun and educational
1:10 This was an actual sentence from a book analyzing Doctor Who, The Unfolding Text.

Great scene. Could not have worked so well in any other era of Who. The McCoy years are wonderfully innovative.
One of my favourite DW scenes ever. Lots of great moments in S24, a season that is so much better than people give it credit for. Loosen up, "serious" fans! This is a FUN season!
Every story in it is good if not great, I can understand some level of hate for it but after a point you just hate fun
I understood everything and nothing.
I watched this story for the first time quite recently and this scene instantly became one of my favourites in Doctor Who! 😂
I have those conversations every day at work. And draw blank stares
Then can you explain what the doctor and the guard are talking about? Dumb it down for me please.
love ace so much
Literally just watched these episodes brilliant!
That's Patricia Quinn, Magenta from Rocky Horror!🤩👠🤘
"Hmm. An intelligent guard. Didn't see that one coming."

Alrite it's October 1st the special is coming out in less than a month I say it's time for another trailer
That guards helmet is making me think about something…
I find something cool in this soundtrack.

I LOVED THE TALK
"yes" jajaajaja
3:19 Doctor Who and the Transporting Umbrella! 🤣🌂
I know this is cereal packet philosophy, but does no-one on TV understand what existentialism means these days?
I wish he'd done the month python questions 😉
Who is the guard? He sounds very familiar, does he do any voice acting? Is he in Monty Python?
The actor's name is Chris MacDonnell.
Viendo doctor who desde 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Oh come on now! It’s the 13th Doctor last month and we don’t even a trailer? Really??
The good old days when the Doctor was capable of speaking clearly in multiple sylables.
