37:59 after “It’s time” he says his catchphrase, “Allons-y” So going from “I don’t want to go” last time to “Let’s Go” this time ❤ Book-ended beautifully.
Ncuti was absolute perfection in this. His personality is so infectious He was born to be the Doctor tbh I am so excited and cant waaaait to see him in action
The love the moles line is a call back to a minisode they did when Eccleston first regenerated into tenant. After the line about having new teeth The Doctor rolls his shoulders and says I have mole on my back then, "Love the mole."
RTD has said Tennant's Doctor is "parked" and there are no plans for a return anytime soon (until the 70th or 75th. Lol) A spinoff with Tennant would distract from Ncuti and it's his time now.
I think this is Russell’s way of saying one era of NuWho has ended while another is just beginning. Nice way to have a clean slate. I think we probably won’t see Tennant as the Doctor again for awhile, at least not until another special.
It allows people to jump off or continue. They can finish up here and "retire" with 14 happily, or go on with 15 into the new era of NuWho. RTD also had to set it up so that the new series for international viewers didn't require brand new fans to have 60 years of information and lore about it right away, they can introduce stuff from before slowly this way. The Doctor having a bit more clean slate without all the immediate trauma helps too.
The most natural way to use Tenant right now is in a UNIT spin-off. We know Mel works for UNIT now; Donna has been offered a job and will likely take it. So if UNIT needs the Doctor, they'd find it much easier to contact Tenant's version, who lives with one of their staff and remains in close contact with another, than to reach Gatwa's version, who might be anywhere in time and space
When the bi-gen happens... ncuti got the shoes, collared shirt, and tie oh and the undies...... which means David is 100% commando in the final battle ^_^
The dislike of the Chibnall era is always surprising to me because it's the only time the current show has felt Hinchcliffe, which is both the high water mark for Doctor Who and the era in which we found out Hartnell's wasn't the 1st Doctor. The Timeless Child just went back to that.
The Toymaker is like Kefka crossed with Arcade with a dash of Pennywise! Sometimes minority groups like the handicapped and LGBT can be incorporated well into media, but they can also be incorporated poorly. There are characters like Mac or Violet from Arcane who are written well and are more than just their sexualities, but then you also have stuff like Pixar promising to add an LGTB character into each of their movies, ultimately reducing those characters to obligated tokens.
i found it sort of concerning when Russel said the main issue with Davros being in a wheelchair/paralysed was that he was evil because implying that a minority or any group for that matter can't do wrong is not only leaning heavily towards tokenism but also a very dangerous line of thought like no one ever looked at davros and thought everyone wheelchair bound is evil like him. I'm just hoping they avoid the tokenism and actually make decent characters and stories although i think they will because since smaller shows have started filling the only care about the story portion of the market a few companies have wizened to the fact bigger and flashier with token characters is not gonna cut it anymore.
i've also seen weird ones where people refuse to accept an lgbt character BEYOND tokenism, trying to argue the writers have provided enough and demanding no more.
I assume there’s a lot more old companions who Kate has recruited, in Power of the Doctor (13s last episode) both Kate and Mel were in the meeting at the end when Kate said about recruiting. The Donna line about range of colours and the line about Wilf mole shooting didn’t go down very well. Claire was right, he only managed to record the one scene as Wilf because of poor health before dying a month later, the audio of him in this episode was taken from series 4. The master laughing from the tooth was actually archived footage as well of classic/Saxon/missy/spy laughing. RTD says no plans to bring David back, but I imagine we will see him as this retired 14 again at some point in the future The clothing situation got explained as David got it pick his stuff first and Ncuti was left with those couple of bits 😂
@@MatthewCYN15 yup, unfortunately a lot of comments I’ve seen on doctor who pages/groups/channels saying it’s offensive/racist, probably the same people saying 14 is racist for saying celestial
@@ailfireseriously 😂? Well, i think it's a reference to the Toymaker episode "Celestial Toymaker". Plus they're both aliens from the stars. Celestial's a good word. I think Donna's line has a half and half response. And I like that line. Implies the future would change for the Doctor maybe....
@@MatthewCYN15 celestial is also a racist term towards Chinese people as well and the original toymakers clothing in the classic era didn’t help with that, RTD addressed the racist side of him, that was the point of the accents but a lot of people decided to get in a tiff about 14 saying the word
Hey, great reaction this is only the second time seeing him the toymaker on screen he’s been in the books and on audiobooks it was a cancelled. Season back in the 80s where the six doctor would’ve battled him in Liverpool, but it got cancelled. The show was on hiatus and it got changed into trial of the time Lord instead, hope you have a good day and again lov the reaction
The Doctor Who EU did have the Doctor meet with the Toymaker a few times, but something always ended up with them stalemating or the game ending prematurely
You were correct. It is pronounced "Davis" (Day-vus), not Day-veez although spelled like the latter (Davies). This is something I've previously heard more with British pronunciations (David Stuart Davies is another), although I've heard some UK reactors saying it the latter way, so maybe it just depends. I'm assuming the special features on the _Doctor Who_ extras from Davies' first run are saying it how he pronounces it. (I know "British" isn't one thing and I think Davies is Welsh, but anyway.)
Old Doctors have met in the 10th and 20th anniversaries but usually its when there's emergencies and Time Lords lift them from their timestreams that's usually the procedure. I'm ok with the bi-generation as long as it's a one-off. I'm hoping it's the last we see of Tennant because having David Tennant around would cause alot of baggage on Ncuti Gatwa's era I would had rather they just had David changed into Ncuti what I love about Dr. Who is change. Mel "Melanie" Bush was a classic companion to The Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) and the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) although she was unconscious when 6 regenerated this is her second time that she's been involved with a regenerating Doctor.

The original Toymaker story is being animated. It should be released next year. (Episode 4 still exists, but the other three are missing)
The Loose Cannon recon using the full audio and photos is still available - that's what I first saw many years ago...

The John Logie Baird puppet is absolutely based on reality. His Wikipedia article has the picture of the puppet.
are the moles Grandad is shooting the Wombles (Bernard Cribbins narrated the series )

In the unit spin off possible
The original Toymaker story is being released in January on Blu-ray with animation filling in the missing episodes.
NPH played Doogie Houser MD as a kid
Bernard filmed 1 scene then he died but he was meant to be in this episode
When the bi-gen happens... ncuti got the shoes, collared shirt, and tie oh and the undies...... which means David is 100% commando in the final battle ^_^
Jamie, I believe, is the longest running companion.

The bigeneration is a way for Russell to create a doctor who multiverse or the doctorverse
Mel was the companion to the 6st and 7th doctors

That's why the not-things wanted to come here and be destructive, because we were what they learned from before the Doctor and Donna arrived.
Is it the final 2023 special? The Christmas one was in 2023, I believe?
Toymaker came up in expanded media
Ncuti is still 15 like David is 10 and 14
Love ncutis Scottish glad he kept it
You can start _Doctor Who_ at various points, I think, yeah.
Always good to see Jemma Redgrave.
What if the bi-generation is how we get The Curator from the 50th anniversary?
I thought Clara was the longest lasting companion?
I bet when 14 regenerates he will go back to the moment of the bi generation and become ncuti
Stop trying to take "companion" away, show!
