In The Giggle, The Toymaker said to the Doctor something like "I made a jigsaw out of your history. Did you like it?"
That line helps me to handwave timey-wimey inconsistencies.
However, in Boom, the Doctor specifically references being a parent when he appeals to Vater "Dad-to-Dad" so perhaps the incongruity is meant to be noted and will be addressed in the next episode.
I hope it does get addressed, but we’ll see.
Great review awesome that Gabriel Woolf came out of retirement for this
Yeah, considering he’s 91
Oh definitely watch the pyramids of mars. It's one of the very best serials of an era when the show was firing in all cylinders. Right up there alongside tge brain of morbius or horror of fzng rock - that Tom baker era (the first 4 years znyway) had a surplus of just 10 out of 10 serials. And sutekh was in the top 3 ir 4 of them.
I’ve just put it on. I’m 10 mins into ep 1 😁
To me it didnt really make sense for them to try and find out who Ruby's mum is, I know it was a plot device but surely the Doctor should have been more concerned with the Susan Triad thing, seemed odd with Susan about to launch her new tech at 3pm. Surely that should have been the priority and the doctor wouldve left the Ruby mystery till later.
Yeah. Priorities Doctor! 😄 after all he didn’t know investigating one would help reveal the other
The 10th Doctor tells Rose that he ‘was a dad once’ in Fear her - but he doesn’t elaborate - and then he is trapped in a drawing.
Ooo I’d forgotten that one. He also tells Donna he’s been a dad before on The Doctor’s Daughter.
Haha Rowan is so adorable :)
Even though I heard the theories before watching the episode, I wasn't expecting it to actually be Sutekh. And hearing Gabriel Woolf's voice gave me chills! Generally speaking, I thought the episode was insane, like, in the best way. There was SO MUCH to unpack in it, that I'm still recovering and processing everything. I really enjoyed it, and it felt like a very classic-RTD finale. His part 1's are always amazing though, floating so many loose threads and theories (I feel like every single Susan Twist theory I've heard of was mentioned in one way or another lol).. I just hope he can land the second part next week as well, cause the set up has been really great so far.
I'm also really hoping that the Doctor decides to finally go and see Susan (Foreman) after this is solved, like, even if we just get one scene with her at the very end of the next episode, I would absolutely love that and it will make the misdirect and her repeated name-dropping feel more justified.
While I seriously loved the episode, I did feel like there was a bit of an overabundance of characters. Take Rose for example - As much as I love her and glad she was brought back (I'm a trans person myself, so very glad for the representation; and I loved her befriending Ruby, making Carla want to join, and mentioning Donna and 14), I felt like she was very much out of place and under-utilised here. When we saw her in the trailers, I was waiting to find out why she was even in UNIT to begin with, and there was just... No explanation for it. That's a pretty small gripe tho, all things considered. I did enjoy her presence anyway, and liked all the small character moments we did get. I thought Kate in particular was amazing in this episode, Mel was good and actually had something to do for a change haha, and Morris was also a great addition. Fair point about them being children, though, UNIT isn't the most moral so I guess it didn't bother me too much lol.
Oh and yeah, I'm also confused about the bit where the Doctor implied that he hadn't had kids yet - Cause, as you've said, RTD1 era established that the Doctor was already a dad. The Moffat era reiterated this, with 12 having "dad skills". And even this season, we've had mentions of him being a father (it was an entire plot point in Boom), so, that was a bit odd imo. Also, I agree! I'm not sure if the Brig actually met Susan in the 5 Doctors (or if he was told she was the Doctor's granddaughter), but still.. Kate claiming she had no idea about him having a granddaughter when Susan's photo was literally in the Black Archive in Day of the Doctor, threw me off. Though, it is the Black Archive, so I suppose maybe she forgot lol.
It’s a good point about Rose. She’s been a very underused character overall after the first half of Star Beast. She didn’t really have a purpose in this episode.
I reckon there were a lot of characters because they're setting up a UNIT spin-off. Hopefully Rose will be central to that! Love seeing Yasmin Finney, and love how she just grabbed on to Ruby and took care of her
@@CulturePhilter They lampshaded it too. One of the only bits of dialogue she had was when she was complaining to Ruby I think, that they never actually gave her anything interesting/useful to do.
**32nd Regeneration**:
The Doctor, in their 32nd regeneration, becomes a parent.
The Doctor’s child, now a parent, brings their daughter Susan to the First Doctor, making her his granddaughter from the future.
The First Doctor becomes Susan's guardian, embedding her into his early adventures.
After being left behind by the First Doctor, Susan meets the 15th Doctor.
Susan then regenerates into Mrs. Flood.
Mrs. Flood lives next to her mum Ruby Sunday, who is the Doctor's future child but is unaware of her true identity. (A guardian from the doctors future to defeat Suetek)
The First Doctor vaguely remembers meeting his future child, leading to the 10th Doctor's hazy memories about being a parent.
(I used current character’s to build my theory, but I like the Idea Susan was from the first doctors future, sent back in time)
Interesting theory. Did you pick 32nd regeneration for a significant reason? Or just a random number that popped into your head?
@@CulturePhilter a random number in the far future, if my theory was to play out I’d prefer never too know to keep the mystery going.
It was a decent episode and about what I expected, quality wise, for the first of a two-parter. As in, all set-up. At least I was right that Susan Triad wasn't Susan Foreman but that was obvious to me. I didn't know who The One Who Waits was going to be but once I saw the soldier turned to sand, the Egyptian connection clicked and it was clearly Sutekh. Once I had that and remembered when Susan told Mel to call her Sue, the Sue Tech link came straight to mind.
Regarding Mrs Flood, in 73 Yards she said to Ruby (regarding her troubles) something like "That's nothing to do with me." That immediately said to me, she is involved with something. Which we knew but that confirmed it for me. Now it's what she's involved with. The fact they've made her seem sinister but hasn't done anything bad, makes me think she could be a good person, just lacking in manners.
I want to see Osgood, Maurice, Shirley and Malcolm together all having some kind of scientific disagreement/argument. That could be fun. After all the teases, I definitely want Susan Foreman to appear next week. Or at least a tease of her for the Xmas episode. RTD must deliver on that now.
Having her in the Christmas ep might be a good idea if there isn’t room for her in next week’s ep
@@CulturePhilter Honestly, after I thought of Xmas I think I'd prefer her in her own episode and reuniting with his granddaughter is a Xmassy thing.
@@Elwaves2925 maybe that’s who the girl from Bridgerton is playing 🤷♂️
@@CulturePhilter No idea who that is. I don't watch Bridgerton and I only know Claudia Jessie from it. She's already been in Who.
Is it the Irish one, Nicola something or other?
@@Elwaves2925 - yes I think so. She’s the only cast member other than Ncuti announced for Christmas so far.
You haven’t seen The Pyramids of Mars?!? That is an essential classic episode. I would have said that even before this season. Such a classic, so good, you must watch it. Absolutely necessary viewing for any Doctor Who fan.
Well…. I have NOW. I watched it this afternoon 😁
@@CulturePhilter You've done it now - we need a review!!!
@@YourQueerGreatAuntie funnily enough my son did say he wanted me to do a video about it once we finished watching it but I didn’t have time then.
@@CulturePhilter Just add it to the ever-expanding to-do- list!
I loved the episode - I watched it with my mum and it filled us both with excitement and horror. We should probably be worried about how UNIT break child labor laws and endanger them. Ohh and even if I hated the episode it would still be worth it for the subtle Elan Musk slanter - also your kid he is adorable.
Although while they may have hinted that Elon is evil they also therefore referred to him as a genius which is stretching it a lot and giving him credit he doesn’t deserve.
If you want an extended take on the role of tech billionaires, I recommend "The Future" by Naomi Alderman (author of "The Power", though the books aren't related). I haven't been on social media (bar this platform) since!
@@YourQueerGreatAuntie I have seen that book and thought it looks interesting.
It could still be The Trickster, that left Ruby at the church. That hasn't been revealed yet.
It could. He even got a name check this episode… along with some other gods.
@@CulturePhilterOr, maybe, it’s Georgia.
@@DneilB007 as in Tennant?
Cute Rowan ❤
Always is 😄
Good review. Rowan is soo cute! I hope you and he both enjoy next week’s. I cannot wait til the next instalment! Also, Gabriel Woolf at 91, still manages to sound exactly like he did in the 70’s. 👏 Amazing!
Yes Gabriel did a fantastic job.
I've watched the Five Doctors several times and even though Susan is there the Doctor never introduced her to the Brigadeir. He introduces her to Teagan and Turlough. But he never introduces her to the Brig, who recognizes both Teagan and Sarah but that's just about it.
Ok. You’d think UNIT would want to keep files on whoever was. Involved in that incident and the Brig would ask the Doctor who everyone there was.
Great video! POM is one of my favourite classics, definitely worth a watch before Empire of Death! I think Tales of the TARDIS could be a best of from this season.
I wonder if all the synopsis that make it look like a Clip show of this season were just fake to keep this cliffhanger a secret. Would make sense to point people towards watching POM.
@@CulturePhilter that would be great if that happens, maybe even having an omnibus edit of the story. 🤔
About the Doctor having family, let's conveniently forget Jenny exists. Sure she was made from his DNA and not born in the traditional sense, but she counts. Though I suppose the Doctor doesn't realise she's still alive. I'm still confused over who Susan Triad is. She's humam, but somehow connected to Sutekh. She's not being used as a harbinger as that's Harriet, so...? And when did Sutekh attach himself to the Tardis? The Tardis was already making that groaning noise in Wide Blue Yonder.
The coffee spilling incident woke him up ？😅
I guess it could be any time. But must have been there when TARDIS was duplicated so wonder if that had any effect on him 🤔
SUTEKH has been possibly partially left in the TARDIS since PYRAMIDS OF MARS and released by splitting the TARDIS perhaps or the Time War
@@garycullen7390 - hmmm possibly.
Wow that was a good episode! Thank you for actually mentioning that Shirley is gone, i've watched 3 other reviews and nobody has even mentioned that 😅 Can I just say how nice it is to not have Daleks or Cybermen or the Master as the villain for the finale this season, I know Sutekh isn't a new villain but he's new enough to seem fresh for me. And when did the "beast"/Sutekh get on the Tardis? I also heard two really good theories: 1) Ruby's mother wasn't pointing at the Doctor, but was pointing at Sutekh on/around the Tardis. And 2) Mrs. Flood didn't know about the Doctor or the Tardis until Sutekh went around it in 2004, so when the Doctor came back to 2023, Mrs. Flood knew what the Tardis was because of Sutekh somehow 🤔 Also, the camera at the church on Ruby road was 66 meters away from the church, which is approximately 73 yards away! 🤯🤯 9.5/10 episode for me!
Yes it’s refreshing not to have had any of the regular returning villains. And as I’ve not seen Pyramids of Mars it’s completely new to me. ( although I have now just started watching it)
@@CulturePhilter I hope Rowan is helping you do your homework!
I caught that 66 metres too - geek high five!
@@YourQueerGreatAuntie yes. If you look at my Twitter you’ll see a photo of him hiding behind furniture at the scary bits 😄
My theory about the Doctor not being a parent yet is that on Gallifrey different buildings lead to different parts of Gallifrey's history, so literally every single Time Lord comes from a different point in time.
Oof that’ll get complicated quickly. 😄
Being a scientific advisor is probably quite dangerous, so I guess that's what happened to the other ones...
They work from home on Fridays, that’s all
More reason not to employ a 13 year old as one!!! 🤣
@@CulturePhilter Yeah, it does seem like a pretty insane idea. Why didn't the hire Tennant's Doctor instead?
Smashing Review 😊, this Episode was really something.. It blew me away as I was expecting it to let us down.. But it really really didn't 👌
Thanks. It had some great really well staged moment. I’m looking forward to seeing how it resolves. Sometimes RTDs endings let his stories down a bit so keeping my fingers crossed this isn’t one of those times.
@@CulturePhilter Yeah I hope its not a click of the fingers and its solved.. for Sutekh thats just to easy..
Your comment about Carole Ann Ford being in the Five Doctors episode with Nicholas Courtney is correct - but maybe the Brigadier never told Kate about the Doctor's granddaughter. I also think you could be right about Mrs Flood being the doctor's granddaughter, possibly she may have regenerated.
If Mrs Flood is Susan I hope we get a scene with Carole Anne Ford showing us her regenerating into her. Just to get Carole back one last time.
I look at the father line as he is a dad but not yet as in Kate time but in her future 😂 but yeah surprised unit didn't know he had family as Ian was in a room with Kate in power of the doctor surely would got some info
Hmmm I’m not so sure. It’s phrased like he’s talking about HIS future.
Knowing what he was planning, I really think RTD should've included Pyramids of Mars as a Tales of the Tardis episode to up the chances of new viewers watching it.
Oh well, luckily I saw it before since it was included on the boxset of Sarah Jane Adventures
We’re due a new Tales of the TARDIS this week. It could end up being that story. Would make sense
@@CulturePhilter oh right, yeah that definitely makes sense
7:15 I think there might be some sort of mind wipe or memory loss with the Five Doctors because Sarah Jane also doesn't seem to remember those events as she acts like she hadn't seen the Doctor since Hand of Fear. I had the same thought with the Doctor not having a child yet it was in the Doctor Daughter when 10 says he's been a father before and in the Devil's Chord Ruby asks if he has children the Doctor says I did have I will have Time Lords are complicated and in BOOM he had the whole Dad to Dad speech I suppose it could be him being a fatherly figure to Susan but it still doesn't make sense so now basically we could meet the Doctors child/Susan's parent at anytime we could even meet Susan's Grandmother this could be linked to Ruby maybe? But I agree with you I'm not that happy about the line
If he pays it off somewhere with an interesting story that’ll be fine. We’ll head-canon our way around the contradictions like we always do. It’s if he just threw it in there JUST to cause chaos that it’s really annoying.
@@CulturePhilter I just don't think I like the idea of going into Susan's parent and the Doctors child
@@kylerees3491 fair enough
Imagine being told by your boss that you’ve been sacked and replaced by a 13 year old 🤣🤣
They need to get their union onto that 😄
@@CulturePhilter absolutely 😂
@@CulturePhilter thank you for the interaction aswell, most youtubers wouldn’t so it’s lovely to get the response 💜
@@leesanderson4694 Phil is great at keeping the conversation going
Technically, Shirley hasn't been sacked. They had to bring in Lenny because the actress was filming other scenes, but I'm sure in DWM or SFX or something that she's in Geneva in-universe
RTD throws little pieces of information out for fans to speculate on and make theories on then he may run with them later
One way of coming up with plots I guess 🤣
Yes, the doctor does have children matter fact before they came up with the regeneration idea in the end of the celestial toy maker. The doctor was to vanish and Susan‘s father. The Doctor son was supposed to become the main character they scrap that idea when the head of the BBC said Mr. Heart Neal Isn’t going anywhere he’s staying on as the doctor and then they came up with the regeneration and brought in Pat Troughton
Oh that’s interesting. I knew half of that, that they were going to replace him in Celestisl Toymaker, but not the big about it being with the characters son.
Thank you! 👍
No worries
Osgood died.
The Zygon, probably took a different form during Flux.
Did she though? I thought it was left ambiguous if it was the real Osgood or Zygon one that died.
@@CulturePhilter Yes. Yes she died.
One Osgood died reaching for her inhaler, the second Osgood, picked up the pump and smiled.
Where is the ambiguity?
Peter acknowledges that as long as both Osgood were honouring the pact. It doesn't matter which survived.
I felt he would be more sympathetic towards Kate, if the human version was dead.
One line that has me integrated as a line from Kate "evil genius with special alien tech software, its top of our list. God knows we've stopped enough of them. Well excpet the obvious" then morris says "we'll get him" a few people have said "oh that means its the doctor" but i honestly can't see Kate saying that in the context of the doctor, even as a joke. However I'm pretty sure Daniel Barton from Spyfall is still out there, or maybe its a future thread Russell is weaving
I kind of just assumed it was a joke at Elon Musk’s expense.
@@CulturePhilter I thought that too at first then my mind went "oh but what if it's this" like every line in doctor who we analyse the heck out of it to find what it means and what it could mean or not mean 😂
@@anthonyfisher-7090 yes could be Daniel Barton
Phil, you must watch Pyramids of Mars, it is an absolute classic.
I now have. Watched it this afternoon 😁
1:09 Never mind safeguarding practices, there's no way that a 13 year-old - even an alleged genius - could possibly become the scientific advisor to an international security/intelligence organisation like UNIT. That was just silly and childish.
Like, I get them being tempted to use his intellect to their advantage if he’s smarter than anyone they have on staff… but they should just keep an eye on him until he’s an adult. Funding his education etc…
@@CulturePhilter But a 13 year old just _couldn't_ be intelligent or experienced enough to be the Scientific Adviser of any organisation, let alone UNIT.
Part of RTD's brief was to expand the younger audience - I get that - but there are plenty of other ways of doing so without dumbing UNIT down. This idea is as insulting as it was laughable, and the likes of Liz Shaw must be spinning in their graves.
8:01 per the “not yet” comment-the Doctor could be talking about it from Kate’s point of view. The Doctor has, on screen, had at least one child; but that will have been in the future for Kate, although it’s in the Doctor’s past.
That said, I think that it’s RTD throwing in a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey joke.
I don’t think the “from Kate’s perspective” really works with the word in he used.
Phil, there’s a tails of the tardis next Thursday on BBC 4………? With the Doctor and Millie just saying. 😂
If you’re implying it might be Pyramids of Mars and that I should watch it…. Don’t worry I already watched Pyramids of Mars yesterday afternoon 😄
I enjoyed the watch, but can also nitpick quite a bit. My biggest nitpick is that I thought the hooded figure’s hand when it pointed did not look human. Certainly not a young human. And its movements have never looked like a young female to me. Am I the only one?
Cant say I noticed that but then I wasn’t looking THAT closely.
I felt like future child he meant in terms of the time he was in like its his past but the future idk
The bit about it being complicated for Timelords makes me think he wasn’t just referring to the specific year he was in at the moment and the future from that point.
I enjoyed this episode, though I deliberately avoided some of the speculation re the 3rd Doctor breadcrumb dropped by RTD! I've watched all the 1963 series (on my second run now!), so I preferred to be surprised. I did laugh at RTD nixing the biggest fan theories in the first 5 mins of the show, though I agree that he owes us a reuinion with Susan Foreman. One thing I haven't seen referenced is the creation (imho) of the Memory TARDIS in the time window, where the Doctor comments on the recording / memory of the TARDIS appearing more solid. Makes me wonder if some of the finale concerns the TARDIS having been splintered 3-fold - 15's, 14's and the memory TARDIS all existing simultaneously. I'm also expecting them to tie in Sutekh's presence to Wild Blue Yonder, given that was Susan Twist's first appearance.
And as I'm currently rewatching Patrick Troughton, with some of the episodes retrieved in 2013, I watched a gorgeous trailer from the BBC before the story "The Web of Fear". Patrick Troughton addressed the audience, saying they're going to see the Yeti again, but scarier. He says "If Mummy and Daddy get scared, just hold their hands and tell them it will be alright". Hope Rowan holds your hand for the scary bits!
We watched Pyramids of Mars this afternoon and during the scary bits he actually ran and hid behind the furniture! (I posted a pic to my Twitter)
Kids really do hide behind the sofa! ( or in our case behind the spinny tub chair)
@@CulturePhilter That is sweet and nostalgic!
The Doctor has crossed his own timeline SO MANY TIMES lol that was my main nitpick. Literally every multi doctor story 😒
Edit: but I did love the episode generally, had a ball watching and just love enjoying Doctor Who again and not kinda forcing myself to watch hoping it gets better lol.
Yeah I thought not going back again specifically because it also includes a companions history as well as his own would be better. We’ve seen what can happen there in Father’s Day
i think that RTD has retconned the Dr in a way. we get a brief picture of his previous, Eccelstone was not amoung them. for obvious reasons. in 2004/2005 the 9th drs first episode was the return of the autons.
Rtd era two nixed that. 15th dr turns up to investigate the Birth of Rudy Sunday
Ecclestone's face was in the Rogue episode.
If you mean the holograms of the Doctor’s faces in Rogue then Eccleston WAS in there
Does the doctor every time meeting anybody called Susan ask "Are you my mummy..I mean are you my grandaughter?"
I did think that at first too. But in fairness to him it’s specifically a Susan who has started a company which is an anagram of TARDIS and whose face he has seen across time and space…. Not many Susan’s around that also fit that.
@@CulturePhilter Not sure the doctor knows what an anagram is because Sutekh was not an anagram.
I’m an American and we’ve had Tom Baker’s seven seasons on a loop in this country for years where he was the only doctor you could watch and you’ve never seen pyramids on Mars. Shame on you go watch all seven seasons of Tom Baker‘s run, please
🤣. You’ll be pleased to know I watched it yesterday afternoon, right after I uploaded this video.
I’ve seen the whole of Season 12, the Talon of Weng-Chiang, horror of Fang Rock and the whole of season 18 from his era.
@@CulturePhilter funny you should say that I just bought that Blu-ray box at with talons of Wang Chang the other day, but I’ve had the DVDs for years and I had the VHS tapes before that so it’s not like you didn’t have a chance to see Tom Baker’s great seven year run you should’ve seen it by now but it’s OK. You can catch up and then really appreciate what they’re doing now.
@@lewi7275 I’ve got most of them on dvd and blu-ray it’s just finding the time amongst work, family and kids, other hobbies etc…
It’s not like these all seven seasons haven’t been around for decades. We in America had them on a loop for years and we could only get some for years although I started with William Hart Neal and Peter Cushing, but you can catch up. It’s not the end of the world.
I think Ruby was left at the church by another god (maybe the god of life?) in order to combat Sutekh in the future.
Ooo could be.
It's definitely my feeling that Ruby being abandoned the way she was is going to be some big part of how we can defeat Sutekh now - like that had to happen for the stuff that's inside Ruby about the snow being some way to oppose Sutekh now that this has happened.
So, where's 14 then? Yeah, he's 'retired' and whatever else and knows 15 is out there, but you're telling me he just willingly sits by when this massive threat is on Earth? Especially with it being TARDIS centric. No way he just leaves 15 to sort everything himself. I wonder if we'll get something with him next week?
Which is why I thought we’d get a line about him taking Donna on a holiday off-world or something.
I guess events we’ve seen so far haven’t been big enough that he would necessarily know about them unless someone contacted him to tell them.. that’ll change next week though.
@@CulturePhilter Also a thought I had, do you think 'The Boss' and Mrs' Floods true identity will be kept secret and taken into series 15 or beyond? Can't see them being revealed in next weeks episode myself personally
@@HCProds1 I think “the Boss” is definitely a next season thing. Mrs flood? …. Depends what the reveal is and if it ties into Ruby’s origins or not
@@CulturePhilter yeah true
14 has to be in the next episode right
Well if he’s on earth you’d expect he’d get involved when big sand storms start covering whole cities… which is why I was expecting a line from Rose saying he was off-world or something.
Yeah the whole implication about the Doctors' children not existing yet, is very odd to me. Ten directly stated he was already a father when Jenny was cloned from him and Donna was making "new dad" jokes. I'm kinda wondering if 15 said that just to try to change the topic or just to make a bad joke. It could end up becoming the new "I'm half human, on my mothers side" line that will get endlessly debated over, time and time again.
I'm of the opinion that was just a line to confuse the man he was speaking to, since that man had no way to know he was talking to an alien.
Didn’t he say it to Kate?
@@CulturePhilter The doctors children not existing yet, yeah.
@@NoFormalTraining which line do you mean he said to a man to confuse them then?
@@CulturePhilter In the 8th Doctors TV movie, the 8th doctor said "I'm half human on my mothers side." He said it to one of the men he needed to distract.
@@NoFormalTraining right, sorry I didn’t clock that you were still talking about 8th Doctor at that point. There is other stuff inside the TARDIS with the eye of harmony that backs up the half-human thing in that particular story though.
Whilst RTD2 has been a fluffy ride abd hasnt been for me ....abd i feel we had 40 mins of non stop exposition and chat and over explanation of what we alrwady know/dont know ... But the fibal 5 mins the stakes and horror element was like YES this is the Dr Who i loved this is my vibe scary monsfers, great threat to make you go WOAH not seen since Swarm and Azure in FLUX and Ashad ...like body horror, vizarre visuals and menace ....but it took so long to get to that and i fear next week will rush the conclusion like will it be a satisfying Sutekh story compared to POM?! or Satan Pit .... That being said i gebuinely feel strwsming will help give the classic serial a boost POM i think will go up in strwams this week and next for sure and Satan Pit im sure will get a boost too from viewers ... That is the biggest positive of the RTD2 era this is the most connected to every previous era unapologetically to give everything before it a boost genuinely thats what i love
Rushed endings are unfortunately RTDs weakness as a writer, even in some of his best stuff like ‘Years and Years’.
As for POM getting a streaming boost…. Well it certainly got a view from me yesterday 😄
@@CulturePhilter up those streams beautiful ! Keep streaming hehe! Awww I felt years and years of anything had a finale of too many endings ironically ... I dunno I just feel like Sutekh isn't as menacing here as he was in Satan Pit or POM so who knows ....I get the Ghostbusters angle like the modern films big whacky cgi puppet type thing to make it creepy but cute and marketable but seriously . I need Dr Who and horror weekly ....the Buffy style makeup on Susan and Harriet looked amazing though! That whole monologuing was brilliant ....but the best most haunting scene?! Cherry Sunday and Mrs Flood ......best scene in the episode
I thought that it was the pre- finale episode in the 'modern era'
Ant p
Sorry I’m struggling to understand what you’re saying. You think it’s like a penultimate episode of the season (which it is) ?
ingrid oliver i dont think has acted in anything since she played osgood. i could be wrong but its seems like her husband Richard Osman is the one who does the TV stuff creator house of games, pointless. and author and podcaster
Looking at IMDB She’s had loads of roles since she last played Osgood on TV back in 2015 (she’s played her since on audio and video games)
Her most recent role appears to be in an episode of Father Brown THIS year.
I think it was a decent episode. NOt great. But solid. There are still too many unanswered questions that were left. WE still don't know who Mrs. Flood is. We still are no closer than knowing who Ruby's mother is. All we know is that Suhtek tricked the Doctor tricked into thinking Susan Triad was his grand daughter. That's it. And to be honest, I was disapointed that Suhtek came back. I was perfectly content to see him stay in the time vortex never to return. I don't think he needed to ccome back.
I think some mysteries will carry over to season 2. Mrs Flood MIGHT be one of them. I think Beep the Meep (and Rogue’s?) boss is another that might carry over.
@@CulturePhilter Unfortunately, I think that your right. Hopefully Ruby's mom won't be one of them.
RTD did say 99% of our questions will be answered, with one plot thread continuing into Season 2.
@@josephcooter5763 I actually like it when season arcs cross multiple seasons so it doesn’t bother me too much.
@@CulturePhilterRogue. Rouge is a color.
Bad Parent for having your kid watching doctor who and the internet there is some sick people on the internet and your exposing your kid to the internet not hating btw this is awareness
What are you talking about!? My son doesn’t even look at the internet.
God really is nothing between your head is there? Phil has just let his kid watch Doctor Who with him. It's up to him if his children appear in his videos as they're a massive part of his life. If you've nothing positive to say jog on. Not hating btw you're just a tool
@@CulturePhilter W
As much as I am disappointed in Suhtek being back I have to admit it could be worse. They could have brought the Krotons back.
Are you disappointed because you don’t like Suhtek in classic series either or just didn’t want ANY classic villian ti return
@CulturePhilter I didn't think there was a need to bring back a classic villain. Especially a one off villian.
Boo! Bad episode! Ncuti Gatwa, like Jodie and Tennant 2, is not the Doctor and never will be
Well they categorically are, if you don’t like their performances that’s fine (although odd to like Tennant 1 and not 2, he plays them basically the same) but they still are the Doctor. 🤷♂️
@@CulturePhilter No they aren't and when I get my hands on the show, Jodie, Tennant 2 and Gatwa will be wiped from the show and they and their respective showrunners will be made to give public apologies for ruining the show
