Well, his faux-german accent wasn't half bad, actually. (we germans never begin a word with a voiceless [s]-sound like in *see* - we only begin with [z] like in *zoo* . That's also the reason many people question the existence of a capital ẞ - ß - letter, because its purpose is to represent the [s] sound (in some circumstances) and all our nouns begin with a capital letter.
@@ClockMaster-mq2hmIf its alright to ask, in the pre-intro sequence The Toymaker keeps saying 'gu-vaining' and 'gu-vanting' instead of raining and wanting, is that just some sort of nonsensical additions NPH added to make it sound more ludicrous or is it based in anything?
@@abbycollinsno the best part was how unhinged it was “I’ve seen you stand I know you can walk” “Well nothing’s changed there” in regards to the PM not caring about anyone And how the Toymaker’s rant was entirely about how petty and self absorbed we all are lol
This sounds exactly like Toymaker himself - a silly little guy who happens to be able to warp reality and not really care about ruining the universe as long as its fun
"Well said? He doesn't even know what he is saying. These adolescent expressions of loyalty. Before you make the puerile promises, remember the past - your little adventures. remember my power." - Michael Gough's Toymaker
@@W1sperish I disagree. Gough does have a distinctive, calm yet commanding voice that NPH just didn't quite replicate, and the moments where he does get near it are so breif and few and far between that it may as well not be there. Pretty much the only line that he delivers that I could consider close to Gough is: "We meet again, Doctor". And it is not helped by him constantly shifting accents, which the Toymaker never did in the first place. However he does look a lot like Gough, so I get why they may have cast him for that purpose, put his face over Gough's, and you can really see the similarties. I think NPH did a great job with what he was given, just--to me at least--what he was given was not the Toymaker. If anything it was more or less Missy or Simm's Master turned into a god, rather than the Toymaker. To which at that point, just create a new god, or even just do Omega instead of the Toymaker. It wouldn't be a perfect swap, you'd need to change a few things, but Omega's campiness is much better suited to what was done in the Giggle compared to the Toymaker.
I like 0:38 because i love how the beat starts off slow then gradually gets faster and faster as the doctor and the toymaker are seeing each other again for the first time.
No reason why they can't come back. The Toymaker seems the type to be able to bend a rule if they feel like. You can just imagine them showing up again with a "Hello Doctor. Since the game is over, shall we play another?"
Yeah should of had Star Beast Wild Blue Yonder A Story about The World Going Mad and the Doctor trying to figure out why A show off of all the Toy Maker's abilities, great feats, and him fucking around with the Doctor for an hour Then an episode that opens with the Doctor finally getting a chance to escape, go back to Unit where we have the dance, Bigeneration and then a huge chess game with 14, ball game with 15 and it all having a trippy time weed trip essentially ending the same
The German accent was initially a bit annoying but it really worked when you saw he was just trolling the Doctor and zipped between it and French, American and his actual ice cold RP voice. (the character's, not NPH's)
When he spoke in his actual voice, it really seemed like he was channeling Michael Gough's original Toymaker performance. I don't know if NPH watched the surviving original episode or listened to audio from the missing episodes when preparing, but it was spot on and he absolutely nailed it.
@@ClockMaster-mq2hm He does a bit of French when doing the dancing bit I think in the streets, and the "Well, that's alright then!" line is NPH'S actual American voice.
"I came to this universe with such delight. And I played them all, Doctor. I toyed with supernovas, turned galaxies into spin tops. I gambled with God and made him a jack-in-the-box."
That is kind of the point though. He isn't evil, not really. He's beyond the scope of human reality. He is *Play*. It's just that he sees everything as equally valid toys to play with, because he doesn't have a concept of what it's like to be just a mortal. Imagine a child who wants to play. This child has no concept of what sort of burdens an adult has, why it couldn't play with them all the time. Now give that child the power to MAKE people play with him. And then make the people as fragile as common Ants are to a human child. It's not malice. It's all fun. For him.

2:11 “The Toymaker”
Oohh shivers all over!
*"we meet again, Doctor"*
The first villain ever to say that he wants The Doctor's TARDIS for himself. "Can't I have it, Doctor? It would be such an amusing toy."
"Well said? He doesn't even know what he is saying. These adolescent expressions of loyalty. Before you make the puerile promises, remember the past - your little adventures. remember my power." - Michael Gough's Toymaker
On the topic of Michael Gough,I gotta say NPH does a pretty damn good Michael Gough impression
@@W1sperish I disagree.

Excusimoi mon frei.

2:10 Feels like something out of a horror movie
Like when Pennywise lures children
I do partly wish the Toymaker had a 2 parter
ikr such a shame
No reason why they can't come back.

@@JohnnyLCob It isn't... how to you want to make that story longer for a two parter...
Yeah should of had
Star Beast
Wild Blue Yonder
A Story about The World Going Mad and the Doctor trying to figure out why
A show off of all the Toy Maker's abilities, great feats, and him fucking around with the Doctor for an hour
Then an episode that opens with the Doctor finally getting a chance to escape, go back to Unit where we have the dance, Bigeneration and then a huge chess game with 14, ball game with 15 and it all having a trippy time weed trip essentially ending the same
He should have been the main villain in all the specials
The German accent was initially a bit annoying but it really worked when you saw he was just trolling the Doctor and zipped between it and French, American and his actual ice cold RP voice. (the character's, not NPH's)
i did prefer his voice when he dropped the accent
When he spoke in his actual voice, it really seemed like he was channeling Michael Gough's original Toymaker performance. I don't know if NPH watched the surviving original episode or listened to audio from the missing episodes when preparing, but it was spot on and he absolutely nailed it.
But perhaps you will dance avec moi?
If I'm mistaken, he actually *only* switches between "normal english" and a german-english-mixture.
At least that's how I heard it ... I'm german.
@@ClockMaster-mq2hm He does a bit of French when doing the dancing bit I think in the streets, and the "Well, that's alright then!" line is NPH'S actual American voice.
WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN!!
Right at the start, I think you can hear an allusion to the “Is SEK a Human Dalek” version of the Dalek theme
"I came to this universe with such delight. And I played them all, Doctor. I toyed with supernovas, turned galaxies into spin tops. I gambled with God and made him a jack-in-the-box."
It's pretty ironic that the Toymaker is evil, given that toys are precious things that represent good instead of evil.
That is kind of the point though. He isn't evil, not really. He's beyond the scope of human reality. He is *Play*. It's just that he sees everything as equally valid toys to play with, because he doesn't have a concept of what it's like to be just a mortal.

"are you not 'ge-pleasedt' Herr Doctor?"
*"...to see me again, after so many years."*
The toymaker:worldwide premiere
OH WELL THATS ALLRIGHT THEN!
My dad absolutely loves the new season and he watched it since ge was a kid
just toying around hahaha
An interesting theme, though I'm hearing a lot of the same sort of electric keyboard sounds as we got in "The God Complex"

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!
Is it just me or the Toymaker in this image looks like MatPat?
Just you, just you.
I see the toymaker and my mind goes "Smurfs!"
Naw, i see it. It's in the smile
GIGGLE ME THIS, WHO AM I?
Eu amo essa música circense extremamente sinistra. Me dá calafrios, mas também, vontade de jogar com o Toymaker. 🎪🃏
Do you think we will be able to download on iTunes?
who knows when it'll officially release, you can always download this video though and put it into your music library
This when I go and save jenna ortega from ghost face
This isn't Spice Up Your Life by the Spice Girls?
that maybe his song, but its not his theme 😛
Il n'y a pas de raison pour qu'il ne mette pas les musiques ! :o
Neil Patrick Harris and his fake German accent alone made this episode worth it.
