I always stood by this episode, I think the energetic acting and direction along with the fact that I was super impressed when I found out the episode was filmed in the middle of January when it was freezing cold, yet they still look super hot, which also comes down to some great production work. But watching this I realise that this episode has a hell of a lot of flaws lmao. I still enjoy this episode, but your attention to detail when watching these episodes is definitely something to be admired. Great review :)
@@barryscott3327 iirc from when I watched DT video diaries from S3, this episode was filmed in an abandoned factory, and the overall budget wasn't particularly large for this season. So they couldn't afford tons of artificial heating for all the cast/crew.
It’s interesting how I see so many of these episodes through rose-tinted glasses, solely because of the nostalgia I associate with you. You’re right, so many of Chibnall’s problems shown in Series 11 are evident in this episode. It’s actually really refreshing to see that even RTD’s era, which some people call the show’s golden era, isn’t perfect.
I don't think he's a terrible writer, it's just most of his episodes are just meh. Resolution, Battle of Anti-Climax, and Power of Three are decent as standalone episodes, the rest are just ehhhhhh
13:42 Saxon isn’t prime minister but is the head of the ministry of defence so it’s entirely plausible that Saxon could get people to tap phones if he deems then a “threat to the country”
10:20 That's not really how gravity works. The ship the doctor is on is falling towards the sun, the doctor is connected to the ship and therefore is sharing is velocity. Objects in motion stay in motion. There's no reason for his motion to change. Otherwise good video
I know fuck all about physics so thanks for clearing this up for me. It's not like we have loads of humans that just fell into a sun as reference either
Good point, the depressurisation would definitely exert a force on both the ship and the doctor, pushing them in different directions away from each other. You could excuse it as him holding on tightly I guess?
Correct idea but wrong justification, the ship and the doctor are accelerating but they're accelerating at the same rate so relative to each other they appear motionless
Yeaaa I really don't like this episode. I remember the first time I watched it - I thought the opening was captivating, but it got bland real fast and almost felt like a chore to finish it.
I thought the doctor becoming infected was superbly acted. You feel his excruciating pain and fear. And I always loved that his fear isn't of death, pain or illness, it's of him being used to hurt and kill others. This is beautiful. This episode has a simple story, in my opinion despite its funny cheap looks and shortcomings, it's harmless and a general ok doctor who episode.
13:30 you forgot the whole thing about saxon basically mindcontrolling everyone making them trust him for no reason. That kinda explaines why she let them do it
@@lukewebb604 yeah it was cause of the archangel network and i am pretty sure that at least for military use it was already in use at that point of the series
Regarding your point about the sun's gravitational field, the doctor would have been able to feel it within the ship as well but since the ship is in freefall the effect isn't actually felt, there'd be no change once the doctor left the airlock
If you are on a trajectory that crashes into a star, you would need to "jettison" the escape pod at many miles per second for it to enter a stable orbit.
This is one of the episodes where the whole plot is rendered null and void once we find out that the doctor has a homing tardis key and could’ve just called the tardis to him and got everyone off the ship.
"This is like watching a RUclips video at 1.5x speed; how is anybody watching going to be able to listen to this waffle?" Me, watching video at 2x speed: Oh, that's how it is, then...
10:15 Ooh, I can explain the gravity thing! In space, gravity will accelerate all objects at the same speed over time (see the hammer and the feather on the moon video for an example). So even though the Doctor has way less mass than the ship, they'll both fall into the sun at the same speed, and he won't be pulled off the ship. The same thing happens to astronauts on the space station: they can't actually be weightless (since gravity is the thing that keeps them and the space station orbiting the Earth instead of flying off in a straight line), but since the astronauts and the space station are both falling at the same speed and in the same direction, they feel weightless anyway. The same thing applies to the escape pod: the magnetic field doesn't need to pull the pod out of the sun, it just needs to slightly slow the acceleration until the ship catches up with the pod as they both fall in.
Before you read this, I loved the review. I always look forward to these, often more so than the episodes. The ship is DESIGNED to resist the intense heat of the sun, hence why the crew can look out of the windows and why the ice machines still work. Oh, and the Doctor use his very mild psychic capabilities to read the sun's mind.
This was one of my favourite episodes i mean your flaws are all valid but i enjoyed that every character was useful. Also the music part at the switch was so good with the doctor saving martha
As a race against the clock action plot, its decent enough. Its the only episode of the four that Chibnall did that I can re watch. And it at least is mostly original. His other episodes too often seem to just repackage classic Pertwee episodes as his own work. Id rate this a 3.5. Its not great, but not terrible.
Personally, I think End of the World from series 1 did the 'episode happening in real time' better than this episode did. 1:40 Also by whatever year this episode takes place in, I'd be surprised if Humanity hadn't at least tried to make windows that nullified the strength of light given off by stars enough to look at them.
If you think about it though, the Doctor rambling techno-babble makes sense, as that’s literally what he does the entire show. He likes being clever and showing it off, so of course he’d also do it here lol. A bit of danger and the concept of certain death ain’t ever stopped that part of him
Actually the physics problems weren't much of a problem. The Doctor wouldn't be pulled from the ship by the star's gravity upon opening the door because the ship is being accelerated by the star at the same rate as The Doctor Imagine opening the door of a car falling through the air towards the ground, the only reason you may not hit the ground at the exact same time as the car is the fact Earth has an atmosphere, if the car was in space you'd stay in the car. The same principle applies regardless of the mass of the body you're falling towards, except in some very specific circumstances of which the one in the show is not. Also the tractor beam wouldn't have to struggle that much to return the escape pod to the ship, all it would have to do is to do enough work on the escape pod to reverse the magnitude of its velocity, if the escape pod weighs 20 tonnes and is travelling away from the ship at 5m/s this shouldn't take much more than 250kJ of energy transfer to pull off, or roughly the energy released by burning 6mg of petrol. Doesn't sound too bad to me. Additionally the star appears to be quite cool based on the colour of its surface (approximately 1100K or 800'C (around 1.5x as hot as the surface of Venus)) so looking directly into it from that distance wouldn't necessarily be fatal or blinding, assuming the spacesuit is adequately cooled; you may even be able to make out features on its surface if you squint like the Doctor did. Even if Chibnall isn't necessarily a physicist these circumstances are actually not as extreme as they may seem to a layperson.
10:10 Because he's accelerating toward it with the ship. He isn't going to be accelerated faster than the ship is being accelerated. Acceleration due to gravity is constant.
10:18 that's not how gravity works! (Edit: Saw another comment further up after writing this that corrects you, but I still think the detail here is important.) First and foremost, all of the gravitational forces of that sun acting on the doctor were already acting on him before the air lock opened. Opening the door wouldn't have somehow exposed him to more gravitational forces and "suck him straight out" into the sun. If that were the case, everyone on board the ship would be constantly pulled towards the side of the ship facing the sun. Secondly, the less massive an object, the less it is affected by a gravitational force acting on it. "Gravity is the attraction between two objects that have mass. The amount of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects." The less massive you are, the less you are impacted by the gravitational pull of said object. So the doctor, who I'm willing to bet weight just a smidge less than a space faring vessel of that size, would actually be less affected by the sun's gravity than the ship, so there is no logical reason that he should be ripped away from the ship by the sun's gravity. This isn't even considering the fact that the ship likely has an artificial gravity since our characters aren't floating around it all episode, the strength of which we can compare to earth since that's the most likely basis for it. So, since he was much closer to the ship, the Doctor would have been pulled towards it probably more strongly than towards the sun. Edit: When Cath opened the air lock later on, we are shown the air rushing out of the chamber by her hair moving with the movement of the air as the chamber depressurised. The pair flying out into space doesn't indicate the "gravity suddenly appearing," rather, showcases that they are being pulled outside by the rush of the air leaving the chamber all at once, as they likely would be. Why doesn't this happen to the doctor? well, we see his chamber depressurise with him inside before opening. With Cath and her husband, the door opens immediately, letting the air rush out all at once and dragging them with it. Since they would carry their momentum in the vacuum of space thanks to the lack of air resistance, even with the force of the ship's artificial gravity acting on them, we're safe to assume that they could potentially break free of the ship's gravity with this momentum given their assumed proximity to the sun. Everything else you mentioned in this episode about shoddy writing and plot-convenient actions and science, for the most part, seemed spot on. But this little section where you rip on Chibnall for not understanding gravity is just incorrect.
Well, I suppose, with "Saxon" being the Defence Minister, he would have the ability to track the Doctor anyway, especially with access to the Black Archive, because UNIT was originally formed from British Military Regiments
Yeah boi. Rewatching doctor who cos of you right now. Although I'm skipping the standalone episodes that don't add anything don't add anything to main story lines or interest me (Peter kay episode for example )
Gravity wouldn't effect The Doctor when the airlock opens because he is on the ship being effected by it anyway, the fact the door is open or shut doesnt change his relative speed. A magnet is way stronger than gravity (you can check this on Earth). The switch being outside, it would be inside if pod was attached.
Americans would be pointing out that the answer to the question "Who had the Most No 1 records, Elvis or the Beatles?" was wrong. While in UK charts it `was` indeed Elvis - In the States, it was the Beatles who achieved more No 1 records than Elvis (A Record they still hold to this day)
The Master was already Harold Saxon at that point, you really dont understand all that time travelling when it starts to get confusing.. lol in FUTURE, the Master will travel back in time to become Saxon, SO he already is here, he is already Saxon, Martha herself states that she knows that voice, so Harold Saxon was already there BEFORE Martha met with the Doctor. We saw season 2 christmas special how the soldier in the tank said, Mr. Saxon, before they shot down that spider lady space ship..
This made me laugh. like a lot. Something this episode never managed. To be far i only watched it twice. It is one of the Tennant episodes i always skip when binging series 3. I always jump from Gridlock to Human nature
I loved this episode and to this day it remains a favourite. and you're ruining it for me and I am finding it weirdly entertaining... you must be good.
_"It's like watching a RUclips video at 1.5x speed, who can possibly make any sense of it?"_ I feel called out for watching nearly every RUclips video at 2x speed, including this one. 😅
I love this episode, it's got great drama, solid acting and some great emotional moments. I'll give you that this episode has flaws like that useless character and the science bring way off. But still I dont get how you can he surprised at the doctor crawling on the flaw in agony when he is the temperature of a sun and being possessed by one at the same time. And also martha surely isn't obliged to love the doctor, this guy was with her in near death experiences and emotions were high. Also when that guy kicked the machine I reckon like you pointed out with 30 minutes to live, in boiling hot temperatures and an extra killer on the loose which is a good addition as he adds extra tension to them already trying to fix their ship, I think some of this review was kinda wrong. But hey it's your opinion obviously your just as entitled to it as me, and I agree with you most of the time anyways.
Science isn't actually off. The doctor was under the same gravity as the ship, and so would be falling towards the sun at the exact same speed as the ship was. Hence why he doesn't go flying off. The captain and her husband were launched into space because they were sucked out by the air escaping at high speeds, shooting them ahead of the falling ship.
Depends on your definition of star, doesn't it? After all, if it's still a massive superheated cloud of hydrogen formed from a collapsed nebula then perhaps it is.

Its just a kiss and the doctor didnt want her in that way sooo seems ight.
Also, since Martha was sweet on The Doctor, we learn that Martha's not the type to wait around, as she confirmed when she left the TARDIS.

Another YTer described this episode as "completely forgettable"....and they were right. I legitimately forgot this episode ever happened until recent.
Well, since Chris Chibnall is the showrunner of the 13th Doctor era, I can imagine a sun-possessed Jodie Whittaker
The sun being can tell the crew are trying to stop going into the sun. That's why he's going around killing them. It makes sense.
Personally, I think End of the World from series 1 did the 'episode happening in real time' better than this episode did.

Jesus. I'm sorry.
Actually the physics problems weren't much of a problem.
The Doctor wouldn't be pulled from the ship by the star's gravity upon opening the door because the ship is being accelerated by the star at the same rate as The Doctor
Imagine opening the door of a car falling through the air towards the ground, the only reason you may not hit the ground at the exact same time as the car is the fact Earth has an atmosphere, if the car was in space you'd stay in the car. The same principle applies regardless of the mass of the body you're falling towards, except in some very specific circumstances of which the one in the show is not.
Also the tractor beam wouldn't have to struggle that much to return the escape pod to the ship, all it would have to do is to do enough work on the escape pod to reverse the magnitude of its velocity, if the escape pod weighs 20 tonnes and is travelling away from the ship at 5m/s this shouldn't take much more than 250kJ of energy transfer to pull off, or roughly the energy released by burning 6mg of petrol. Doesn't sound too bad to me.
Additionally the star appears to be quite cool based on the colour of its surface (approximately 1100K or 800'C (around 1.5x as hot as the surface of Venus)) so looking directly into it from that distance wouldn't necessarily be fatal or blinding, assuming the spacesuit is adequately cooled; you may even be able to make out features on its surface if you squint like the Doctor did.
Even if Chibnall isn't necessarily a physicist these circumstances are actually not as extreme as they may seem to a layperson.
I have been looking forward to your next DW review!
10:10
Because he's accelerating toward it with the ship. He isn't going to be accelerated faster than the ship is being accelerated. Acceleration due to gravity is constant.
“He’s under heavy sedation-“
_oh really??? Yeah thanks for that very useful information_
The plot with the Doctor becoming evil is cool but used badly in this episode
10:18 that's not how gravity works!
(Edit: Saw another comment further up after writing this that corrects you, but I still think the detail here is important.)

Yes
Honestly I think this is one of the greatest episodes

Is anyone really confused about how broadchurch was so good?
Clearly it was written by Kris Chibnall, Chris's secret brother
Think the actors had a lot to do with it. Brilliant cast
I completely forgot Martha kisses that guy. This episode is really forgettable tbh.

The Master was already Harold Saxon at that point, you really dont understand all that time travelling when it starts to get confusing.. lol in FUTURE, the Master will travel back in time to become Saxon, SO he already is here, he is already Saxon, Martha herself states that she knows that voice, so Harold Saxon was already there BEFORE Martha met with the Doctor. We saw season 2 christmas special how the soldier in the tank said, Mr. Saxon, before they shot down that spider lady space ship..
A week late you are :) I watch these every week your reviews are great
The only fire in this episode was the burning wreckage of the script
This made me laugh. like a lot. Something this episode never managed. To be far i only watched it twice. It is one of the Tennant episodes i always skip when binging series 3. I always jump from Gridlock to Human nature
I knew that I don't like this episode but I didn't know why. Thank you!
I like the idea that this Episode toke place in the 42th century.
gravity doesn't act on different objects more or less so no doctor would not have got "sucked" out
I loved this episode and to this day it remains a favourite. and you're ruining it for me and I am finding it weirdly entertaining... you must be good.
Hey I just got a job at carphone Warehouse cool coincidence although Carphone TARDIShouse sound a bit more adventurous!
Or they had filters on the window glass.. Derp.
Lol calls them a nonce haha
I'll say This episode is to be set in the 42nd century.
14:16- 14:39 LITERALLY EVERY CHIBNALL EPISODE *EVER*
_"It's like watching a RUclips video at 1.5x speed, who can possibly make any sense of it?"_
I feel called out for watching nearly every RUclips video at 2x speed, including this one. 😅
I love this episode, it's got great drama, solid acting and some great emotional moments. I'll give you that this episode has flaws like that useless character and the science bring way off. But still I dont get how you can he surprised at the doctor crawling on the flaw in agony when he is the temperature of a sun and being possessed by one at the same time. And also martha surely isn't obliged to love the doctor, this guy was with her in near death experiences and emotions were high. Also when that guy kicked the machine I reckon like you pointed out with 30 minutes to live, in boiling hot temperatures and an extra killer on the loose which is a good addition as he adds extra tension to them already trying to fix their ship, I think some of this review was kinda wrong. But hey it's your opinion obviously your just as entitled to it as me, and I agree with you most of the time anyways.
Science isn't actually off. The doctor was under the same gravity as the ship, and so would be falling towards the sun at the exact same speed as the ship was. Hence why he doesn't go flying off. The captain and her husband were launched into space because they were sucked out by the air escaping at high speeds, shooting them ahead of the falling ship.
if you think about it... if the star is living creature then that means it isn't actually a star
Depends on your definition of star, doesn't it? After all, if it's still a massive superheated cloud of hydrogen formed from a collapsed nebula then perhaps it is.
42: 2/10

Lmao the simpsons hit and run theme near the end🤣
Exited for family of blood and human nature best doctor who episodes

@~9:52/15:35, I'm totally watching/listening to all of your videos at 1.5x speed. I felt called out but it was very funny.
13:13 is that the music from the simpsons hit and run mission where you collect monkeys 🤣

"Reaaaaaaally"
Agree. Hey, let's give him the series?
Why did you skip The Lazarus Experiment?
I really liked this one, similar to satan pit. Torchwood was crap from start to finish
Love the Hit and Run music, my favorite theme from the game.
Is that a silhouette of Pembroke Castle over the end credits?
