This felt so good. I felt like I just went back in time. David has always been my favourite doctor so this was amazing! I cried so many times throughout the episodes xD I am now addicted to doctor who again
It’s like we’ve all traveled back in time to 2006 and I’m loving it! Btw, did anyone else notice that the ‘vibrating concrete - that’s mortar’ correction was clearly ADRed in later, they know their audience eh?
@@IsiahBradley Me too. I was like "lol pathetic desperation" but I had to at least watch the trailers.. and, well, I waited and waited then watched it the second it was released.
"Everytime somebody says 'you can't do that', that's exactly where you should go". Bravo! This is what Doctor Who has been doing for 60 years and there is no reason to slow down now. 'Canon worship' has driven Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU, etc. into the ground and resulted in a lot of universe-building fan service dreck across these franchises.
@@mjm3091 yeah I mean that too. I don’t think her/his subconscious wanted 10s face back. I think a villain has toyed with this regeneration, maybe that why her/his clothes changed when they never did before.
For me the main reason they return is that Doctor and Donna never had a proper goodbye. All previous companions in New Who had it - yes, tearful heartbreaking (like all companions in Moffat era), but they all said goodbye to their Doctor. But Donna never did... And its so unfair! And also that Donna lost her memory of their adventures- it should be there! And that final scene that Russell talks about (nothing thats ever been in whole tv series...). I have a feeling that during regeneration old Doctor (David) and new Doctor (Ncuti) are gonna meet! Can't wait for next two episodes!
He will learn to let it go, I guess. And he will want to go. Or Celestial Toymaker will put him and Wilfred in a glass box again and let him die again the same way. xD
But that's what made her ending so tragic and beautiful. It was a good ending for a character to leave you heart broken. They didn't have to bring her back to make a new ending, but I'll save my judgment until the end of special 3.
I loved seeing David Tennant & Catherine Tate back, as well as all the callbacks! 🙌 Overall "Star Beast" was a fun first special, but they were some things I disliked. I love Doctor Who! 💜
@@lsdeann_3293 I mean it’s not the whole show, but apparently it’s different & not worse in many ways. So we get what we get. Would love the commentary, which we don’t get at all… One day we will I imagine.
The episode was ok, better than recent years and it felt like series 4 of doctor who. I love the new TARDIS, it's the best looking interior ever, beautiful.
It felt like the show I loved was back, and it made me even more excited to see Ncuti. You are going to have people cry woke just because of Rose being a character at all in it, and adressing anything to do with current day. So you should not write around those people to stop them from getting mad. There was just one line that made me raise my eyebrow, something I wouldn't have done if RTD hadn't said in some interview. That he is of course well aware and thrilled by the fact that the show has a dedicated adult fanbase. But Doctor Who must be written for children in mind first and then you can add elements to where an adult watching will understand it on a different level than a child. A sentiment I agree with. Which is why I think this one comment before Donna and Rose let go of the metacrisis energy was strange. When she says that it's too bad that he is no longer a woman because as a man he can no longer understand that they could just let it go. The Doctor and Donna relationship contains a lot of ribbing and making fun at the others expense and whenever we saw that on display it worked perfectly. It's the sort of sibling rivalry thing that a lot of people can relate to. With the mind set "we can make fun of each other but I will have your back if someone else comes after you." Being and adult, I understand that the line about letting go is a jab at the anti-woke people who can't stand a joke being made at their expense. What I don't think it took into account is you are going to have young boys who are watching the show, maybe some who started with 13 and is their Doctor now getting used to a new one. But I'm also sure it will bring in a new young audience because it's now easier for people to watch through Disney Plus. What you have just told those young boys who doesn't have the context or any ill will, is that they are lesser.
@dcworld4349 when 14 made the decision to give Donna her memories back and started screaming, I said, "This is why you bring back Tennant. I got end of time vibes from that scene. When meep turned, I thought this shit was around Donna's kid she really could have died. Meep was great, pretty scary a few questionable lines of dialog, but I enjoyed the writing and tone.
@@jamaalellison3076 No doubt in my mind that they were directly calling back to the end of time. Literally stuck between glass, except this time he's not trading his own life. He believes he's forced to sentence one of his best friends to death wearing his old face as some kind of cosmic joke. I'm not gonna say that they hit a home run straight out of the gate. But they are most certainly on base and with two more episodes to go I have faith that now that the setup is done that it's going to lead to a satisfying conclusion. Here's hoping the final episode is 90 minutes, I want as much time with the Doctor and Donna as possible. Because while we might get something similar to what the Power of the Doctor did. We are never going to get this duo like this ever. Unless RTD decides to bring back Christmas episodes and do what David and Matt talked about years ago. Wishing that they could swap, since there are endless amounts of adventures we never get to see. Or if Doctor Who ends up becoming really big on Disney Plus. Why not make animated anthology show out of the audio books? Safer to make it an anthology because then you could do different doctors or other characters per episode.
@dcworld4349 I can agree with that. I think we're back on track. At the very least, it was the most i've been engaged with Doctor who in a long time. It's super bitter sweet because Jodie didn't do anything wrong, and I feel bad for her embarrassment even, though I shouldn't be. I felt like her writing wasn't for me, and I didn't care for the musical scores in her era. I loved everything else about her.
@@jamaalellison3076 Yes I never blamed her because on the occasion she was giving something to work with she delivered. The two main problems with her era was most of the episodes were badly written misses. And I never felt like she got her own identity as the Doctor. She was just given the basic Doctor traits, and I kept waiting for Chibnall to figure out what makes her tick. I feel at it's best a season of Doctor who should feel like a mix of episodes that you could imagine other Doctor's being able to do. While also having episodes that you can't imagine any other Doctor except that spesific incarnation would be able to pull off. She did get a few really great episodes but she never got the latter which is a shame.
- "My God, I'd stick with them for ever!" - I'm sorry, Mr. RTD, you can't do that. - "Every time someone says 'you can't do that', that's *exactly* where you should go." See what I did there? I DON'T WANT 14 AND DONNA TO GO.
OnePass has a free 14 day trial at the moment which includes Disney + !!! Not sure how I'm going to watch the other 2 Tennant/Tate episodes then the Christmas special though .. lol
The 3 60th anniversary specials (the first episode of which aired tonight. It's on BBC iplayer or Disney+ if you're outside UK) and then ncuti gatwa is taking over for the new series. :)
We were Doctor Who fans before you were born I imagine so yes we've been paying attention to the show. Yes it was a lot of 'woke' ideology crammed into a short running time but if the audience they seek are those who just want their entertainment full of lecturing about the way people should think on political and ideological matters that's fair enough. The rest of the viewership (us mean old Davros loving 'bigots') will let them get on with it and just go watch something else. It's a good way to get it cancelled again as the production cost won't justify the shrinking audience.
I hate forced woke stuff in media but star beast to me seemed natural and not forced. It didn’t feel cheap or pandering. The whole thing with “binary” was great. I know it wasn’t planned since journeys end and Doctor Donna saying “binary” over and over, but it felt like it was. It felt meaningful and relevant. It was woke, but it wasn’t nasty woke. I think RTD does progressivism correctly. Only thing I hated was the comedy of Doctor-Donna’s first concern was about giving away her lottery money, while the ship was tearing apart London and doubtlessly killing people. Also her mother, husband and daughter were all on the ground near the ship and donna wastes time ranting about something she always knew. It’s not like the lottery was a lost memory she just regained, also doctor- donna should have cared about money much less than normal Donna. She rediscovered her memories of time and space, her time lord intelligence and knew she had minutes to live, and she spends time ranting about her decision. Why would a time lord consciousness, specifically the doctor’s, make her less generous than the fully human donna. Copyright donna noble.
@@MrMittens1974 yeah it was, but I didn’t think it spoiled the show. Some shows/movies have this political agenda to push or message to convey and it’s done at the expense of the story. It either clashes with the story or distracts from it. Here it didn’t seem to do that. Also often woke stuff is not just representing and affirming minority groups. Its nasty, bitter and mean spirited towards a group they see as majority, like straight/white/men. I didn’t think that star beast did that. They were positive about trans people but they didn’t do this by demonizing everyone else.

I feel like an addict that just took what they're addicted to again.
I'm having a total relapse and it feels great.
You could have phrased this on many different ways, but I think you nailed it. I feel like that too.
SAME IKR
Bringing back Tennant and Tate to get the old core fans back was simply brilliant.
And I was *so* against it until I saw the trailers! LOL!
I think it was a success
If only the old writing was as good
@@IsiahBradley Me too. I was like "lol pathetic desperation" but I had to at least watch the trailers.. and, well, I waited and waited then watched it the second it was released.
They never said they came back to get old viewers back or were asked to because of that and it's an anniversary for crying out loud.
Love behind the scenes! Catherine and David are so nice!
Somehow David Tennant is even more attractive now than he was 15 years ago-- the man just keeps getting hotter. Its insane!
"Everytime somebody says 'you can't do that', that's exactly where you should go". Bravo! This is what Doctor Who has been doing for 60 years and there is no reason to slow down now. 'Canon worship' has driven Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU, etc. into the ground and resulted in a lot of universe-building fan service dreck across these franchises.
Russell T Davies you bloody genius. We LOVE YOU. 🥺
1:50 Well we already have established that Doctor can revisit their faces. The Curator is a great example of that.
But out of choice……
This time he didn’t choose a particular face or if he did, he didn’t pick this face.
@@jimmy2k4o well we are talking about subconscious - like when Capaldi's Doctor "choose" their face to remind themselves that he should help people.
@@mjm3091 yeah I mean that too.
I don’t think her/his subconscious wanted 10s face back.
I think a villain has toyed with this regeneration, maybe that why her/his clothes changed when they never did before.
Simply amazing! 💖
Look, I loved the Moffatt Era. i even managed to enjoy Chibnall or whoever.
But this was such an extra special moment with the best duo returning
Thank GOD for RTD 🥲

Good shout. I'm thinking he'll choose to regenerate without needing to and that'll be what we've not seen before.
@@aramisal Good idea.

Why does the logo fly in more realistically here than in the actual intro….
RTD forgot about Tom Baker as a future version of the Doctor in the 50th. Thought that’s where the idea came from
I loved seeing David Tennant & Catherine Tate back, as well as all the callbacks! 🙌 Overall "Star Beast" was a fun first special, but they were some things I disliked. I love Doctor Who! 💜
I only cried twice during the first episode, I think I did quite well 😎
You did better than me!😂
@user-ch8mh8sz2r I imagine it's gonna get worse 😂
I cried!
I cried with the woke nonsense but expected nothing less 😂
AHH LOVE HER!!
@ BBC 3, could you post the whole show please?
Is this not actually the full episode of Unleashed, or did you mean the proper (Star Beast) episode?
@@lsdeann_3293 I mean it’s not the whole show, but apparently it’s different & not worse in many ways. So we get what we get. Would love the commentary, which we don’t get at all… One day we will I imagine.

SO GLAD this happened!!
THANKS for this!!!!
ya good ep can't wait for special 2
The episode was ok, better than recent years and it felt like series 4 of doctor who. I love the new TARDIS, it's the best looking interior ever, beautiful.

Your in the uk
is it for just one episode? or a whole series

Not quite. He’s regenerating at the end of the third 60th anniversary special
Wake up
How do you not know this lol
