I love that they’re committing to the “Mavity” bit.
They did change the past after all plus there’s the whole myth thing
I feel like that will be this era's Harriet Jones "yes I/we know who you are" recurring joke, although not as funny. I found the Harriet Jones thing genuinely hilarious for no reason
Yes. Glad someone else got that too :)
Plus it’s perfect set up for a full Isaac Newton historical episode where they fix it.
It definitely means it's another universe. ❤
Classic Russel T. Davies writing: Ruby herself is caught in a loop, in the end it'll be her delivering herself on the church doorsteps, completing the loop we saw the Doctor witnessing. That way she secures her own future by making sure it happened as it did.
That was also my first thought. Especially with how determined they were to never show her face.
I have a feeling Susan is coming back
I like idea of The Toymaker entering the Doctor’s universe is leaving a lasting effect on it opening up more fairy tale like stories, characters or creatures to happen and it has a good reason for why.
Similar as to how when Moffat took over his era or Dr Who had a fantasy take on it
Could you imagine Daleks getting attacked by indestructible dragons?
@@julianaylor4351 Like cybermans catch dragon and change it into CyberDragon

Loved Ruby's family. How the actress who played her adoptive Mother was so different when in the alternate timeline she had never raised Ruby ! Then the Doctor brought Ruby back and she was a loving, open person again.
Also, liked the "weaving" of time, coincidences & the ropes all being connected. That was some proper storytelling !
Laughed when Ncuti said he was "reading rope." Such an iconic Doctor thing to say !
Great energy vetween the Doctor and Ruby. I am properly excited to see the spring episode !
Michelle Greenidge did an amazing job with that. It's like she's playing two completely different characters. One who (with Ruby) is full of life and is happy. The other (no Ruby) who has been beaten down by life and says she's happy when she isn't.
I hope we see more of her in future episodes. Cherry Sunday as well. I love her attitude. I could see her telling off some invading Daleks until they bring her tea.
Agreed ! The mother did an amazing job. I found myself crying hahah ❤
Same...loved all of that too. Reminding us of the impact out own existence can have on others. Just wonderfully
There have been human cultures in the past that kept their records in quipu, or knots. So it really wouldn't surprise me if the doctor could ALREADY read rope, he was just having trouble with the dialect.
@@nunyabizness3598 oh my gods I love this idea so much!!!! I'd forgotten that rope and knots were used for record keeping!
"After 6 years of no Christmas Specials it was time to go home..."
I definitely loved today's Christmas special and I cannot wait for more of 15 and Ruby next year 😊
Love that they used the outside of a real and beautiful old church, not a set, for the majority of the shoot. It looks like so many Christmas cards with that fake snow. ❤
Love Ncuti and Millie already! The musical number was fun and weird, I wasn't expecting for the Doctor and Ruby to sing as well, but it worked as a way to distract the Goblins. How many outfits did the Doctor have in this episode, my goodness!
They dont really need a whole explanation of having more supernatural fantasy stuff. Doctor who has always had elements of fantasy. The universe is limitless and so is the creativity of Doctor who!
I mean The alien spaceship is a policebox which is bigger on the inside and the main protagonist is a recycle bin with mop as weapon.. how absurd you want it to be to call it fantasy?? 😂
I agree that it didn’t need an explanation and I wouldn’t question it either way. However, I really like the explanation. Obviously Neil Patrick Harris just broke the universe through his sheer presence
@@shubhounofficial5125recycle bin? That makes no sense
I would have preferred the fantasy elements come from something a bit more significant than 14 saying something random at the edge of the universe. Since RTD doesn't seem to shy away from Chibnal's work, maybe have the Flux having destroy the 'anchoring of the thread' the timelords did, returning magic to the world.
For real though. Like, Classic Who had vampires.
i've missed so desperately being excited about doctor who, i'm glad it's back
That’s the only reason I’m tolerating it
I had no idea both Ncuti and Millie could sing! Can’t wait for May!
Well Ncuti certainly can 😂
Neither did they! ;)
Lots of great actors from Doctor Who throughout the ages actually can sing. Believe it or not, but David Tennant can sing, Jodie Whittaker can sing, Matt Smith can sing, even Christopher Eccleston can sing. You know Billie Piper was an actual singer, even before she became Rose Tyler. Why would it be a surprise, that Ncuti and Millie can also sing?
Jodie cant sing, she has sung for charity. Didnt need to be good at it.
@@Croftice1 Quite a few of the classic actors too. The third part of "doctor who and the pirates" comes to mind in particular
"Who's the mother? Who's the father? Why was she abandoned? How was she left there?"
yea i can see how the Doctor might be magnetized towards that at this time in their life...
So tragic lmao. They're about to do a lot of group therapy
This was brilliant! Tennant specials had a healthy dose of nostalgia thrown in to round up the stories, but this one was great on its own. With a new Doctor and a new companion as well! Left me with a smile on my face. Here's to a new era! :D
What was great about it. Genuinely curious.
@@TA-zq3ez
I really liked Ncuti. He's got that confident charisma and quirks of the Doctor.
The concept of time-travelling goblins that live at the edges of Earth's atmosphere in their stealth-ship is also great. And so is the idea of using ropes on the ship as basically the internet.
The story overall was nice, had a good flow, was even touching.
There was also some nice humour in the episode and I liked that they gave us a little musical number. I loved when they murdered the lady with a crisscross tree in one timeline.
Singing Goblins.
Goblin King.
Kidnapped Baby.
Dance. Magic.
Very Labyrinth inspired.
With a touch of Gremlins and a little Yeats (with the timeless Child arc the doc is a sort of changeling himself)
Dance, Ruby, dance.
i said "wait, labyrinth?? nah i'm just making shit up" already when her mom said "don't lose the baby", but then there were goblins, with a goblin king... yeah definitely labyrinth inspired
I truly missed the annual Christmas special tradition. After 6 years, it's finally back - packed with mavity!
I am officially now a doctor who person

100%
what do you mean? He IS an amazing doctor right now.
He is
Already is (and is already filming S2).
@@Maeve_Rosewhat you smoking , I enjoyed the parts where he’s clever and figures things out, the part where he cries out of compassion, others than that , it’s the worst first episode I ever watched, I forgot Jodie Whittaker first but at least I can tolerate this one slightly more, 9th-12th doctor were very good
I love that Doctor Who included something about adoption and that the new companion is an adoptee. There's so many people screaming about how they've included more diversity but all I can say is "get over it". The WORLD is diverse and it's so wonderful to feel included in the Whoinverse. I'm an adoptee that found out through a DNA test that I was adopted. My adopted family never told me and so I was 50 before I knew. By then all but my biological father had passed and I only got to meet him 2 months before he passed. He said he didn't know about me and wasn't sure who the mother was. There aren't many matches in the database that seem to be on the maternal side and they are mostly distant cousins. Through a lot of tree building and research I think I know who my mother was... and that's still not 100%... but that person has passed.
I love it too! My dad was adopted and I was a foster child, at one point. So, I love that they included both. Because they are two different things and usually TV shows get it wrong and think the two terms are interchangeable.
Also, I loved that they never used the term "real parents", like they do in most shows that I've seen adoption depicted in. My family always says "birth parents" and "biological parents" about my father's biological parents.
Me too an adopted person. There's a weight to that word that it's hard to explain. I loved those episode 🌟
Did you really see someone getting mad about there being an adopted companion on the show?
I must be hanging out in all the right crowds, because I never saw anything of the sort, nor any racist remarks towards the Doctor (which I've also seen people claim to have seen a lot of).
For me it feels like that all these people who complain about "woke propaganda" and diversity are just not liking that Doctor Who changed in the now 60 years of existence. As you nicely explained it´s a way to let some viewers to relate to the show´s characters and also even if the Doctor travels around time and space the present is the same as in real life and such things just exist if people like it or not. I´m not an adoptee but I still could relate to this episode because "family" was a big part of it and I lost my mother a few years back and now I know even more how important family is and knowing where you come from.
@@93Chowo Also, those people aren't remembering that Doctor Who has always refused to live in the past. Remember Sarah Jane's comment, way back when Jon Pertwee was the Doctor? "There's no such thing as just a girl." That was a big thing to say, back then.
The musical number was very goofy and fun 😂. When The doctor and Ruby started singing, they heard the tune and lyrics, so they improvised and started to sing their own verses😂
"The new companion's going to be a trendy music girl"
"Okay, how do we endear her to the audience?"
"HMMmmm...... How about.... Impromptu Baby Eating Goblin Song Reprise?"
(takes off glasses) "That just crazy enough to work...!"
@@dracocrushersinging a song about eating babies while rescuing her foster sister too! Lulu would be quite endeared if aware
That's what the show is now? A fucking musical?
@@killboggins Not really, they just have one or two fun insert song moments now. Like we're four specials in and all we really have is this and the Toymaker's fun 'spice up your life' moment that just feels like the most fittingly Star Trek Q thing they could have possibly done.
But nobody's going to complain about that one because seeing Neil Patrick Harris do his thing is always a treasure.
@@killboggins Clearly never watched a musical lol, would be a pretty shit one with a single song lol
I really loved the behind the scenes of the music! It really brought this episode to the next level.
What TV shows use orchestras any more? It's fantastic the quality of music that Doctor Who has.
"An unusually big backstory for a companion" No matter how big her backstory is, it's gonna be tough to be bigger than Clara and the impossible girl lol
That's a really good point!
Then again, I feel Ruby's backstory is mostly a set up about weather or not the doctor will go search for his own origins. 🤔
Honestly, I think he meant "an unusually big backstory for a companion I'VE written" because basically every Moffat companion has a crazy backstory except Bill
@@einootsporkbut it is unusual. Donna is just Donna and that can be said of most of the companions.. the keyword was the frequency.
@@einootspork Well, Donna Noble turned out to be the 'Most Important Woman in the Whole of Creation'. But I get your point.
@@rkah6187 Not in her backstory, though! She grew into that because of what she did, not because of what happened before it
It really felt like Christmas having the Doctor as part of our festivities!
Absolutely fantastic episode, I knew this was gonna be a winner when the goblins sang and I just fell in love when the Doctor & Ruby joined in!
Reality check: It was the most annoyingly woke box ticking pile of cr*p ever made. Clearly he was picked for his colour which exposes the racism we know exists in the BBC, and what a surprise, he is gay and camper than Alan Carr. Truly awful.
Enjoyed the special. Was waiting for David Bowie to pop up and start singing "dance baby, dance."" Lol Labyrinth vibes. That female singing goblin was great!
i'm so glad i wasn't the only one thinking that, definitely labyrinth inspired :D
What a Christmas gift from the doctor... 11/10 episode... ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed!
Well, two things, I’m continuing to love how they’re blurring the lines between practical and CGI, thus far that’s working wonderfully, and if Who is to become Buffy The Time Travelling Ghostbuster, so long as we’re still within the Whoniverse, I’m up for that.
Bring it on.
Goblins blew me away, so good. Song is so much fun, and the Doctor and Rubyjust singing along😂❤❤❤
What a thumbnail to see in my notifications ❤❤
This episode was brilliant. An amazing start to a fresh new era of Doctor Who!
I love gatwa hes bringing energy back to the series thats been lacking for a while
I love that they are returning to weird and wonder atmosphere that has been missing for a while. Especially when the story is unpredictable, has emotional tension, and there is actual character development. I really think this is going to be a great season!
Me then: Dinosaurs??? On a spaceship?? WOT
Me now: Goblins?? Flying a wooden spaceship???? WOT
Again excited about the show after so long... Especially with all the lore and easter eggs and possible hint for a larger backstory...
The doctor and Ruby singing is tremendous fun. Doctor Who has been so delightfully musical lately
The goblins are so cool looking and glad they didn't do pure CGI
This was GORGEOUS.
LOVED it! Nu tie is going to be an amazing doctor, and Ruby…she’s wonderful. Loved her mother and Cherry. Just loved it! I feel like we’re back with the show the way it should always have been. I missed the overarching season long storylines. The only thing missing was the Slade song. Happy Christmas!
Thank you Russell and everybody at Doctor Who! This is new but it's also Doctor Who! This is so good! Watch the Whole episode! 💙💙
love him
I absolutely loved this episode! It is so, so good to have the christmas special back again! For the first time in a long time my whole family watched an episode of doctor who with me and they all enjoyed it! Can't wait to see more of ncuti and millie in the new series and so good to have so much behind the scenes content again! Merry Christmas doctor who! ❤❤🔷🎄
I can’t believe the actress who plays ruby is 19 ! I’m 20 I would have never guest she’s younger than me 😂😭 And she looks so talented !
Same!!! Just turned twenty a couple of years ago…no wonder I see myself in Ruby a lot.
Also, OMG Anita Dobson! Can’t wait to see who she’ll be!
This gonna be a fun series the new doctor is going to be so brilliant
Brilliant start to the new era.
Its good to see Murry Gold discussing the mmusic. Its such wn integral part of the show
Ncuti, Millie, we cannot wait for the magic you’ll bring to the whoniverse. Stay fierce!
This special was wonderful. It reminded me of the Christopher Eccleston episodes but with much bigger budgets.
I dont think we've watched the same Eccleston episodes lmao. The difference in quality is astronomical. Which is a shame because the writer is the same.
@@TA-zq3ezyou didn’t like the special?
I’m totally obsessed with the Goblin Song 🥰
Good behind the scenes
Love the new Doctor and Companion. Thank-you.
I love that the goblins were a practical effect! And the on location filming, too, with the faux snow! The orchestra was something I didn't anticipate, either. So much can be done with computers that, to me, it sometimes seems like that's all people rely on for special effects and music these days. I love it when traditional and modern techniques are combined. Awesome episode!
Ncuti Gatwa will be a fantastic Doctor
I'm looking forward to watching his series SO much
He already is. ☺️
Will be??
After Jodie Whittaker even Sylvester McCoy is a step up.
@@simonc4764Jodie was great. The writing she was given was so-so.
One and a half episodes in and 15 is becoming my fav Doctor really quick
Such a fun and brilliant episode.😊
The only parts that irked me were how Ruby was left literally with just a blanket on the snow. Not even a basket. That would immediately freeze the baby to death, LOL. And how her mom was still walking near the church even after all the things that happened with the Doctor and the ship at the church. She would have already been ways away but it was like time stopped and just resumed after The doctor left Ruby back at the front of the church.
What if she wouldn't die because she's not human? What if this is the Master's kid?
Time is wibbly wobbly so I forgive it. Perhaps she paused to see what the fuss was, but turned around just as the ship disintegrated so she continued to stroll? Don't know, don't care
Thanks enjoyed the episode.
I loved this episode ❤❤
I actally asked myself "How is the ship floating?" but the fact that everything can happen in Doctor Who is a solid point. :D
Sin duda uno de los especiales navideños que eh visto en mi vida ahora sera top 3 en mi lista
Amazing he amazing that was an amazing movie and it going to be a amazing great series he should get 8 seasons instead of normal 4 seasons give him more seasons yesss
The episode was 10/10
I agree with u
@@benwieser6088wdym?
Loved it, so camp, so enthusiastic, so emotional.
It was deffo good but not a 10/10, few episodes are.
Compared to other Christmas specials I'd give it 6/10
The best TV show ever 💜
Unit is going to be helping Ruby's family.
After her travels with the Doctor, she will have a job at Unit
I imagine they're going to at least fix the Sunday's apartment, or get them into a different one. I didn't like that they left off with a drafty, broken room and a newborn.
So awesome. Doctor Who is definitely back again at full speed. And what a great cast of new companions. And, not to forget, the new Doctor Nhucti Gatwa! And there’s a lot of surprices too awaiting.
Doctor Who team: Gotta go fast! 😁😉.
Absolutely fantastic to have Doctor Who rightfully back at Xmas. Very happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed David's return. We needed a strong Bridge to set up an exciting new era. I don't want Bi-Generation to be something that happens again. As a one off though, seeing 15 going at the usual pace while Another Doctor takes some time to slow down and deal with all he's been through and lost. The second actor that had to follow in Tennant's massive footsteps and so far he has very much achieved that successfully for me. Can't wait for may for more of 15 and Ruby and can't wait for more Whoniverse updates. Here's to the New Doctor and the newest Companion of the TARDIS
My theory is that Bi-Generation was only possible because of the Toymaker. 15 said that it's a myth and what does that Toymaker do if not make the impossible possible?
So he could have (as he threatened ) kept splitting the Doctor in two indefinitely with Bi-Generation after Bi-Generation. But once he was gone, the chances of Bi-Generation happening fall back into Myth realm again.
@Techydad I read a comment on Reddit where someone said that the salt scene from Wild Blue Yonder invoked multiple myths and fantasy elements such as bi-generation and goblins.
Can't wait for more
I love the music. I love the goblins. I love the new Doctor and Ruby. I am excited about this show again🎉
I have really enjoyed the 7 specials we've gotten in the last two years. I haven't disliked any of the specials, but the ones I really enjoyed are the top 5 listed below.
If I had to rank them, it would probably be:
1) Eve of the Daleks
2) The Giggle
3) The Church on Ruby Road
4) Power of the Doctor
5) Wild Blue Yonder
6) The Star Beast
7) Legend of the Sea Devils
This is just my opinion, I understand that I lot of people hate the Chibnall era, and I do see the problems with his era, but for the most part, I can overlook those problems and just enjoy new Doctor Who. Everyone has opinions, you have the right to those opinions. I hope everyone reading this has an amazing 2024!
Let's have a friendly debate that will likely quickly spiral into a war of opinions.
How would all of you rank the specials?
Seeing all the effort for VFX is making me hopeful, but a little bit nervous, considering how much effort it requires. I just hope that it remains as good as it is this early into RTD‘s new run! Because it just looks and feels like everyone is bringing their A game so thoroughly
I am always apprehensive when a new Doctor is announced... but as always, I am loving Ncuti's Doctor. He brings such a light and a joy back to The Doctor. Russel & Ncuti are bringing the fun back to Doctor Who and I love it! And Ruby Sunday is fantastic! Great companion! I hope we get more instances of the 15th Doctor in a kilt! Ncuti certainly knows how to rock a kilt and he looks good wearing it!
Loved the episode Ncuti, and Millie was brilliant and can not wait for the new series to start. And it was great to have DW back home on Christmas Day! ❤
🤩
edit:I love this episode
From the States, thank you for posting these vids on YT. After the goblins gave my niece nightmares on Christmas, I played this for her last night to show her the goblins were just actors and she slept soundly 😊😂
who sings the song? it's such a banger
Murray Gold looks excellent for someone who worked on series 1. Hard to believe one guy can reinvent the soundscape of the show so many times.
1:44 Do they usually say "baba" in the north or was that just how Millie said it there?
Brilliant ♥️
I wish we had the long version of it, doctor who confidential style
If you're in the UK there is a BTS show called doctor who unleashed!! 😊
@@matthewhowarth1854any way to watch it in the US?
Getting MORE Murray Gold music (and more music in general) as we get further into this is never going to be a bad thing. So glad he’s leaning in when he already had been doing pretty solid with it
"No one sits there wondering 'hows that ship floating?'"
I did, Russel. I wondered that.
I loved how the "sails" looked a bit like old dirty sheets, and a bit like feathers !
Also, I think it was implied that the ropes and the way they were tied were the magic that kept it all together, so, untying some helped the Doctor and Ruby to escape.
@@m.maclellan7147 oh yeah for sure. The Doctor said the ropes were their version of wires and their version if electricity.
But.. it's just kind of a half explanation?
I don't really mind it THAT much tbh but it didn't sit quite neatly in what I'd expect from Doctor Who, ya know?
Curious to see how the series goes in once it starts in spring tho
Loved it - in the running for best Christmas special!
It was crap.
In the running for the worst. It's baffling how we went from Twice Upon a Time to this.
@@TA-zq3eztwice upon a time was closing the Capaldi era making it more intense and emotional whilst this one was ncutis first proper episode and introduced a new companion so it has to keep the craziness of doctor who but add something more and start off ideas like who is ruby’s mum and who her neighbour really is
You're an action hero now, hope it stays fun!
Merry Christmas to all, especially Janis Goblin!
Loved it all
Loved the show! Looking forward to the 2024 season. But we have to wait until May???😮
6/10 for the special. Feels like fan fiction more than anything.
Loved the callback from the doctor "I'm adopted. Found out recently"
Love the direction RTD is taking Doctor Who. Ncuti Gatwa is brilliant.
RTD has turned the program into something completely different and Ncuti Gatwa was the weakest actor in the episode. Millie Gibson upstaged him start to finish.
Murray Gold is so soft-spoken! 😄. Yet his music is really bold.
7:25 Beautiful old church
God I missed Murray Gold
I didn't, his overly bombastic music aggressively tries to feed me emotions instead of scenes being allowed to breathe.
2:57 my first thought was how does that thing hide?
Millie Gibson is awsome & amazing In Doctor Who, I am a huge fan of Her From Norway 🇧🇻..
I liked & loved her in Doctor Who..❤❤❤
Its Sad to hear that she is leaving Doctor Who & its also sad to hear that she was humiliated..
It makes me angry to hear that she was humiliated when she played in Doctor Who ..
I hope that she will continue acting in other tv shows or movies in the future..
I would love to see her in another movie or Tv Show..❤❤❤😊
We need to make Doctor Who have a musical episode
Been watching since 1963 and i will get used to Ruby but she just looks and sounds like a blonde Clara to me. That said . . .I LOVE IT AND NCUTI . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A nod to Labyrinth and David Bowie. A bit of the magic of Christmas. Love the new doctor. Love the new companion.
Great New Doctor Who and companion Ruby needs a little workout 1st time ever meeting the Doctor seems she knew him for years needed a little bit more scepticism on her part Here's to New Adventures 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It would be interesting if the Doctor ended up being Ruby's father- like if him and River had a child but he didn't know and because of the complexities of their lives she was left on earth.
Time travel would make it possible to leave a child at any point in time
Love a Goblin 😉
6:20 Now I have the mental image of a musical number of the Daleks 😂
Dalek musical number, you say?
