They 100% must've wanted to use the chord from A Day in the Life but the lawyers told them no.
Or the 'Hard Days Night' chord
That chord requires TWO pianos, four (or six, I don't remember) pianists, and one Sound Engineer to keep riding the gain up on the recording equipment as the strings settle down.
It's just an E major chord. Three notes.
Alternative title: 'John Lennon and Paul McCartney Defeat Maestro (methods unclear)'
Lolol. Yeah. Much better title.
When have methods ever been clear on Doctor Who?
So basically there is a specific series of notes that when played properly, can seal away Maestro (the god of music and the villain in this scene). The Doctor gets all but the last note correct, but because he got the last note wrong, Maestro sent the piano away and sealed Ruby and The Doctor so they couldn't try again. John Lennon and Paul McCartney manage to figure out the last note needed and it seals away Maestro.
@@EvanFarshadow Thank you 🙏🏾
They just had to bring Yoko and it was over.

You dropped this: 👑
Definitely wasn't Gatwa ...he was too busy running away, hiding and crying, wondering what costume and wig to wear next, for fear of standing out.
All the stuff Ruby went through and her hair is still in place. That’s some strong hairspray!
Who knows what else the tardis has access to
The hairspray back then was called hair. NET Not Even Tornadoes will ruin your hair. Lol, my mom had that stuff cough cough after spraying
The hairspray back then was incredibly strong. It was a miracle my mother's hair didn't break it was so stiff. Look at the hair styles in Hairspray the Musical. Then 2 years later, everything when soft and long.
Of course, it's from the TARDIS of course.
Like the Indiana Jones' hat, always in place...
People are so mad about Jinkx being casted, as if she doesn't have an absolutely stellar resume that could land her a ton of roles on its own.
I'm only annoyed because of the obvious political gender thing propaganda she mentions in an interview. As an actress she's phenomenal, there's no denying that.
@@DarkEspeon40K Yet not irritated by the episode? The same one where they clearly introduce Maestro this way? "Henry, get away from him!", "Them!", "What?", "Me!", "What?", "I'm Them!", "You're What?", "You're Whoooo!?"...
@@DarkEspeon40KThere is no 'political gender thing', it's all in your head.
@@dangilbertson592 Gender isn't political. Pushing the gender through the media is political though, it's called soft power.
@@MikelosM Nope, I'm fine with that, tbh. It's short, never brought up again, and it IS an otherworldly being that literally embodies music itself.
Maestro gives me Winifred Sanderson vibes
I kept wondering time and time again where i've seen that stylish get up before, mystery solved! 😅
Jinkx is a huge Bette Midler fan so you might be right that maestro was partly inspired by Winifred
literally same
"BOOOOOK" 🎶
Honestly hoping to see more from the pantheon tbh, it’s so interesting seeing the ways they can mess with the universe, like the Maestro making music a solid, tangible object or how the toymaker can alter anything with the tiniest notion of thought
Man it's almost like they wrote this character for her!This is the kind of villainry we needed with Ursula in the Disney's remake of the little mermaid.
1:55 for Anyone wondering the music here is called: “the Danse Macabre”.
The Song That is Said to bring people back from the death
The dad jokes "sorry to keep HARPING on"(playing a harp) ugh perfection😭😭
2:40 _MINECRAFT GLASS BREAKING SOUND_
I can never unsee or unhear this now and it makes this funnier
bruh no way
Other way around...The Minecraft sound bit for glass break is an old WAV file from 2004 of a recording of glass breaking.
Ringo and George never get any recognition
Neither did Stuart or Pete for that matter.
Good.
Sometimes you just need a little help from your freinds.
Hahaha. Got it!
Jinx Monsoon! What a perfect bit of casting 🎹...Small point Neither Paul McCartney or John Lennon could read sheet music 🎵🎶😂
Great villain. Not the scariest, not the deepest, not the cruelest, but the one we most want to see defeated because of sheer annoyance.
Greatly acted BTW.
Doctor Who just feels like one of those really low-budget SciFi channel films like 6-Headed Shark Attack or an episode of Goosebumps.
Yes, that's what we love about it
They literally go for that tone. Seriously, they have the budget to look different or match the current style. But being cringy and weird looking has kept it going. Like a cultural institution
I was going to point out John’s glasses as a mistake but someone did. However, none of them read music in 1963. Songs were done by ear and put down on paper by a copyist. Would John or Paul know those intervals like a music theorist? Probably not.
I’m going to say: the maestro is not even real so why do you expect actual detail in a series where the Beatles didn’t even defeat nor know a nonexistent being
@@kawaiionee-chan9557 Yes, but fiction using real people could do a little basic research. Even fiction has to be logical unto itself.
@@Purdey921 _Technically_ they aren’t shown reading it. He tried a couple keys, got it wrong, then they both winged it and were _surprised_ it was right.
@@kawaiionee-chan9557 You are an activist and a tourist. Stories must be internally consistent otherwise you cannot suspend disbelief. It's the difference between a writer with talent and a hack. Go away.
@@Purdey921 See, you're not a tourist and you're not an activist. You care about what makes good storytelling, whereas the brainlet arguing with you only cares about the political power that can be extracted from any kind of media.
it’s monsoon season!
I need the theme that plays when Maestro is dragged back into a piano
Vaguely sounded like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
The maestro looks like Winifred from hocus pocus
Of course John and Paul are going to win against the Maestro if they make him play stock sounds like 0:40
2:19 Literally just noticed they dubbed that bit with his scream from Dot & Bubble 😂
Now I can't unhear it, thanks.
@@TheCorrectOpinion100 You’re welcome mate 😂
Yep. From beginning to end, I have no idea what happened.
Seriously folks need to bring back these kinds of characters. THIS is what made Doctor Who so fun in the originals. Characters that don't just chew up the scenery, they're having a laugh as they do it.
Who would’ve know the “secret chord that takes a genius to figure out” was a major chord, which is the most commonly used out of all of them 😂
I like the fact that in the background, you can hear the classical piece a dance with death
Jinx as ivonkov in op no one else will do
The actor who played Maestro....a fantastic and unique performance loved it!❤
Absolutely hilarious episode with great stakes, and an INSANE amount of Campiness. Classic Who
Campiness is Gen Z Dr Who in one word.
@@IO-zg8mdDr Who has always been campy what are you talking about?
This was terrible lol
anyone know if the notes used to banish Maestro were a reference to any particular song or something? Or even what they were? I know very little about music in general so forgive my ignorance
Pretty sure it was a reference to A Day in the Life.
@@kevinramsey417 I didn't realize that, but it does sound like the same chord😊
It's simply a C Major chord with the P5 raised up an octave. It's a really generic chord, might be a reference to a specific Beatles song but I guess they didn't want to pay royalties on it.
It's the famous last piano note from The Beatles "A Day in the Life" ruclips.net/video/UYeV7jLBXvA/видео.html
The chord is similar (but legally distinct lol) to the chord at the end of the 1967 song A Day in the Life
We only get to see 2 of them and that's really sad.
George and ringo were in it.
@@CaffeinatedMoustache Yes but they didn't get any lines, did they? maybe I'm wrong.
@@Acknowledgerofdoctorwho George got to sing but ringo was silent as a 2024 Volkswagen golf.
@@Acknowledgerofdoctorwho Barely, I think, in their first scene
The *only complaint that I have with this episode is that John and Paul didn't apologise to the Doctor and Ruby and thank them. Other than that, I adore this episode.
Is there literally ANYBODY in the ENTIRE UK that looks even remotely like John Lennon and Paul McCartney? Is this the best the BBC can do?
The water is no longer laced with the necessary chemicals to produce dudes who look like Beatles
@@quantumblauthor7300 i literally gasped at this comment
that guy from Neverwhere who looks like all the Beatles at once is too old now I guess
Forgot the Beatles were even in this episode
They really weren't.
Number 9.. Number 9.. Number 9..
Actually, the 9th doctor is my favorite. Lol
So John Lennon & Paul McCartney just happened to conveniently be there at that moment & play the correct tune on the piano to trap Maestro
no of course. the beatles have no reason to be at ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS. did you watch the episode?
@@amelialikesfrogs5778 Yes I did. I didn't like it & think the writing is lazy. Also at this moment in the story nobody else was there whilst this battle was going on
They didn't even ask themselves why there were flying notes, they played for no reason.😂
Well, as Maestro said, it took a musical genius to summon them. It only makes sense it took two more to send them back.
@@BH-98 oh well, called improvisation, imo this is the best episode of the season
beatle fan since 2021
thank you for saving these 2
The "Beatles" defeat Maestro
2:06 “can’t breathe” says the women in the instrument that comes with air holes
She was in an extradimensional space so the face that it looked like it had air holes didn't mean she could breathe, if it wasn't an extradimensional space then there wouldn't be enough space for her chest to move so she couldn't for that reason
The background music doesnt harmonize with the music from the scene at all. Come one
Maestro stole the music
Sucks that I have to pay for this show after 50 years of being free 😭
it’s still on bbc iplayer as well
you are not in UK then.. BBC TV is free without adverts
You British keep saying that you pay for the show, when you complain for a simple licence, while we foreigners spend buckets of money in merchandise and DVD.
Why do you have to pay now? Isn't BBC free to all in the UK? (Well, not free, really.)
@@Sunshine-zm1fx Dunno, I am in UK.. ask your US friends???
This is incredibly hammy but I’m in that mood right now
And again this, "The One Who Waits"... it's like some ominous final boss incoming.
This will make two blue meanies the Beatles defeated.
McLennon saves the day
What did I come back to I've been gone for a few years is this real?
They say there was a secret chord,
The Beatles played and it caused discord
For the Maestro's plans,
it foiled them absolutely..
John Lennon didn't wear those glasses in 1963. He wore Buddy Holly style horn-rims then. He didn't go to the Windsor style until after he appeared in a film with them in 1967.
Horribly shoddy research by the costume/hair department. They were 5 years late on everything.
I'm willing to cut them some slack because it's the popular image of The Beatles in the rest of the world. Like how Cilla Black is in this episode even if it's set a hair too early for that. They just really wanted to use Cilla Black.
And they couldn't read music IRL. But w/e
@@aresef Is a bit of realism too much to ask in this 60 year old show about a regenerating idiot with a screwdriver travelling through time in a box? Boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
@@c0mpu73rguy The first line in the script is the Doctor shouting, "1963!", so, no slack is deserved. It's just really shoddy research. And where was Pete Best, to challenge Ringo to a drum-off? ;-P
Maybe they figured that the opinion of overly pedantic nerds on the internet with nothing better to do would be bothered and decided to troll them.
@@c0mpu73rguy Thinking somebody should lose their job for picking the wrong pair of glasses is what I'd expect out of the more entitled side of the viewerbase.
How did Bette Midler get a part in a British Sci Fi show?
After about 15 seconds, I couldn't stand watching this any more.
An we just lose this new guy already?
He is seriously not working.
Never seen doctor who before until this just bc they cast Jinkx 🖤🖤🖤
0:59 oh come on 🤣
Holy crap, Jinx Monsoon!!!
Who?
@@brandoncolon1160 Jinkx is the actress who plays Maestro
@ThatRandomJew whats so special about them?
@@brandoncolon1160 *she, and she's a famous performer and actress
Only thing is that none of the 4 Beatles could read music. They all played by ear. A fact I learned very young as I also play many varieties of music and have never learned either.
Would have been nice if the casting director had seen a Beatle, or even a picture of one.
Crazy "Off with her head" hair!!! All you need is love 💜
-Chuckles in Maestro-
The maestro saw the light in the music and fell.
Danse Macabre is such a fitting piece lol
God is this the state of Dr.Who in 2024 sessssshh😮
Well, how silly was that!
I honestly think this was a banger episode
God this sucks. It's no wonder they took this off terrestrial television. It doesn't deserve to be broadcast.
they didn't take it off terrestrial television... this aired on BBC One
Fighting with musical notes. This must be the same Universe as Dr Strange. 😅
Is it just me or do I hear a bit of the Series 4 Dalek theme when Maestro uses a whip of musical notes to move that Piano
They made the right cast for maestro
It might be a bold claim, but Ncuti here reminded me of Phil Lynott - Irish rock icon, the singer and bassist of Thin Lizzy
"The one who waits is almost here."....Huh?
Sue Tech
Beforehand, Maestro tried to steal the “music” out of Ruby, but failed, saying the “old one” touched her.
That turned out to be Sutekh, though the “touch” thing went unexplained. I imagine this will be kept for next season.
They were also mentioned by the Toymaker. It's rather terrifying actually given that both The Toymaker and Maestro are god-like entities, both of whom terrified the Doctor and they're both terrified of "He Who Waits". If a God is terrified of it, I can't wait for it to show up.
@@vcom741 Dont think it is Sutekh since he did not even knew about ruby mother at all. So it must be some other being that they referred as "The old one". Something even more ancient than Sutekh
The last notes from a day in the life :)
having only got up to series 3 on doctor who (Eccleston and tenant not the old series),
What the hell is going on here?
we as long watching fans dont know either what was going on in this episode. It felt like they were on some substances while making the episode.
I would love to explain but I don't quite know how to.
Ruined
It's my favorite episode of this season. The Maestro is positively unhinged!
Silliness, also, watch capaldi
OHHHH come on! I'm getting excited for NEW Who! New Who now!! Are we gonna get some Thanksgiving preview snippets please! Afterall, the show's birthday falls there! Give us some sugar, we want my people! lol
oh, of course it *has* to be the beatles.
this episode grows on me a bit. Felt like a weaker one when it aired, which is unfortunate given that Space Babies also felt weak and set a worrying trend, but it holds together well enough. Only thing that really bugs me is that despite being centred on the Beatles they're barely in the episode at all and have no real involvement in the plot beyond this one moment. Compared to the Shakespeare code or the Unicorn and the Wasp the difference is glaring.
I guess they knew that the actors were not even remotely similar to the real John and Paul to involve them more than that...
The most unrealistic part of this whole thing is John being that muscular.
I love this Maestro as well.🙂So fun and great.
I like these types of characters. Very powerful but they have fixed rules. Some that even they hate but MUST follow.
Looking for the secret chord and it's just a C major ahh moment (C major is probably the most common chord played on a piano)
I mean that explains why we're usually pretty safe lol
My first thoughts was that this was way too over the top and with some unbelievable music related things, but it me that DW wasn’t always meant to be serious. There were fun times and dark times. Some of those things just happened to be campy and this fit that bill perfectly.
Why Maestro said that the one who waits is almost here if Sutekh is allready sitting on TARDIS? He is already here
Calm down, nerd.
😂@@Sunshine-zm1fx
Not in manifested form. Didn't you hear what he said when he appeared? He was gathering strength, was weakend, he had to wait all this *time*. He was all the time there, but couldnt do anything at all. When did you saw in the past, that Sutekh did anything, when the Doctor was on his adventures throught *time* ? So there is a reason, or not? Maestro knew that he will appear sooner or later.
This comment section is half normal people, half people who get a kick from talking about “the woke libs”
0:56 But the Maestro wasn’t sorry.
My god. Jinx. Her performance 👏
Been watching this show since ‘88. I don’t even recognize it anymore. Never thought Russel would just ignore the original generation’s experiences and expectations. New WHO is trash
Can someone explain why those notes were chosen. Besides they sound holy. I just wanna know all the lore before googling
найгірша ігра акторів, що я бачив
Who else loves maestro’s coat tails? That is some excellent style
maestro looks and acts like a typical doctor who fan
Maestro is some sort of Lovecraftian God?
They are part of Pantheon of Discord or Chaotic Gods. The child of the Toymaker who the essence of the game. This one is the essence of the music itself
Honestly i thought maestro ability would be reality warping with sound like imitating whale noise would summon whale or playing spooky music create graveyard. Anything that made the battle puzzling and more tactical than straight out fight. Wasted potential tbh
Such good concepts that they have been completely wasting. It sucks, cause this season has such Tennant-era energy and the acting has been incredible, but all of the climaxes have been super weak.
Dreadful climax to a dreadful episode. The actors playing Lennon and McCartney - and the inexplicably mute George & Ringo - were badly miscast, and their look completely wrong for 1963. Plus the frankly idiotic dance number and ludicrous "plot" - just the worst, man.
I mean if your into my chemical romance he played the right note
Sorry, Maestro, but your number's up.
This was kinda rough to watch, the old style slapstick isnt quite there
How did that French twist survive?
I thought Mastro was a good Villain for Doctor Who 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈🎼🎼🎹🥁🎻🎷🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
All I can think is Jinx. I’m genuinely surprised that she was in a good tv series like doctors who. No wonder she named herself as jinx
This is something. An interesting exorcism to say the least.
2:43 id have had the piano run over her she gets back up prepares to use her tuning fork then the piano runs backwards just to make sure. her mangled body dragged in as she delivers her warning of the one who waits adding to the idea that's there always a twist at the end
I need more Maestro please. They would have made an awesome recurring villian and end of series big bad.
