CONGRATS on 50K subs!
Congrats! And Merry Whomas!
15:50 if you look closely, Big Ben is covered in scaffolding because it’s still being fixed from when the Slitheen spaceship crashed into it in series 1
I like that cause it shows even though time has passed the effects of previous episodes are still felt
Hardly anybody notices which human does the most to save the world: Jackie. She brings the tea that revives the Doctor. She lends him Howard's nightclothes, with the satsuma that defeats the Sycorax. Good job!
And she turned up with the truck last episode.
Howard with the assist, though! Him and his weird satsuma hoarding ways.
25:10 "Don't you think she looks tired"
This is a very niche reference to a particular event in British history so it can go over a lot of viewer's heads. Margaret Thatcher, the first female British Prime Minister was very unpopular (to be polite!) When she was in the role. What eventually took her down was an aide of hers saying those exact words, not realising his mic was on.
It led to speculation she was unfit to lead and eventually she was challenged for the role of leadership and lost the vote.
For Americans, (like me) she led from 1979-1990, so part of Carter’s term, all of Reagan’s 2, and slightly after. She was very arguably worse than Reagan. They both blatantly ignored the AIDS epidemic, and their financial policies hurt far too many people. They were supported by the wealthy in both cases. I know people don’t like to talk politics, but Doctor Who is a very left leaning show, so we’ll get these obvious opinions. 🤷♀️
The "Don't you think she looks tired?" phrase was actually the same phrase used in real life to refer to Margaret Thatcher at the end of her time as Prime Minister. The 'health concerns' rumours.
Ironically, one reason for Christopher Eccleston's falling out with the Doctor Who production team was that they said he'd left the role was because he was "tired". Chris is adamant that this was simply not true.
@@ftumschk I've also seen some people who are absolutely certain that "Don't you think she looks tired" is a reference to the BBC releasing that supposed "quote"
This episode genuinely shows how great of an actor David Tennant is. An episode following the regeneration is the first real look at the new Doctor, and gives them an entire episode to convince the audience to stay. In the classics, youd get a 4-6 part story for the new doctor to establish themselves. Full episode in the modern series. David only gets that short stint on the Sycorax ship, stays in bed for most of his screentime, and he chews up the scenery the moment he gets the chance.
Bro managed in 5 minutes what takes 1-4 episodes for any other doctor to pull off.
Another great line from Jackie "IMS GONNA BE KILLED BY A CHRISTMAS TREEEEEEEEE"
You’ll find that it’s a very small universe when the Doctor is angry with you.
The Doctor is no longer here and you are stuck with me 😠
I always liked a line that's coming up that basically says when The Doctor is running away from you, he's doing you a kindness. You don't want him coming for you.
Easter egg I love in this episode is the Doctor references Arthur Dent as if he met him. This suggests this universe is part of the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy universe by Douglas Adams.
We need that crossover episode!!
Doesn’t it just suggest that the book exists
@@junior602002 the Doctors TARDIS also appears in Red Dwarf in one of the shots of Starbug leaving Red Dwarfs hanger bay
@@obiwankenobi687 The Doctor literally says he met Arthur and he's a nice guy
@@obiwankenobi687 I mean, the way it's said at least implies Arthur Dent is a real person. Unclear if that means the whole Hitchhiker's universe is the same universe as the one in Doctor Who, or if Arthur just went on somewhat similar adventures and Douglas Adams based his book on Arthur's account of his adventures. Heck, he could've even have been an unseen past companion and maybe Ford or someone could be loosely based on a second-hand account of the Doctor. If I remember right Adams did write for Doctor Who in the past so it doesn't feel entirely outside the realms of possibility
Each regeneration of the Doctor is the same but different. His strongest character traits of compassion, intelligence, curiosity, determination, all of that will remain intact. But other things can change quite a bit. He could be scatterbrained, humorous, or deadly serious most of the time.
To answer your early question, remember Rose was missing for 12 months, so this would be the second Christmas she was gone but the first one where they knew where she was.
I think Rose's speech to the Sycorax was just something that she made up on the spot, using words or phrases she remembered from her travels with the Doctor. Her reference to Article 15 of the Shadow Proclamation was from the very first episode, Rose, when the Doctor is addressing the Nestene Consciousness. Raxicoricofalipritorious was the planet where the Slitheen family was from.
Shooting the Sycorax ship was an allusion to the sinking of Argentine 'Belgrano' during the Falklands war. Heading away from the islands but allegedly turning around.
'Gotcha'
"I can't believe we're getting a sword fight on Christmas!"
Someone wrote a letter to Santa and was very good this year.
A few references to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in this special. Cup of tea, "anything else he's got two of?", Arthur Dent name drop...
The creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams, was a writer and script editor (which was more or less the showrunner credit at the time) for Doctor Who for a period during the fourth Doctor's run.
The Hitchhiker's Guide movie was earlier that year! It's fun they got that reference in since I don't remember it being in the book or the tv show. Maybe it was in the radio show.
Adams wrote City of Death, one of the best classic Who stories
@@ninjabluefyre3815 I think it was in the radio show or TV show. I'm almost positive it was in something prior to the movie. I don't think it was the book, but I might be wrong.
Before this episode Doctor Who hadn't had a episode transmitted on Christmas for forty years. The Daleks' Master Plan episode 7 the Feast of Steven transmitted 25 of December 1965.
In a post that I remember reading somewhere, it was pointed out that Torchwood was actually just the letters of Doctor Who rearranged.
It was also a codeword used on labels on video recordings of the new Doctor Who episodes when they were passed around to reduce the possibility of someone getting their hands on one before it was aired.
There is a lot of secrecy in Doctor Who about new companions or the return of major past characters so anagrams were often used when cast lists were produced for publication in the Radio Times etc. One character auditioning for Doctor Who was apparently told to say she was here for a new show called "Panic Moon" - an anagram of "Companion".
2:31 Love how the dog just comes and sits and watches
Torchwood (bit of a spoiler) will become known to you by the end of Season 2. It is also when the Torchwood series begins, if you are going to tie it into Doctor Who.
While the 2 shows are exclusive (dont relate to each other story wise) they do share a timeline.
Good job predicting the tea! I couldn't do the same when I first watched this episode, sadly.
David Tennant really shines as the Doctor in the little time he had here. He's amazing and I know you will absolutely love him in this role! Also, CONGRATULATIONS, EMME!!!!!!!!!!! You got to 50K and you absolutely deserve all the love!!!!!!
The BBC love a Christmas Special on Christmas Day. Usually an individual episode with the new season starting a few months later.
Yes, the Christmas specials are a regular thing for Doctor Who, at least since the 2005 relaunch. They definitely vary in quality, this was probably my favorite of the ones when David Tennant was the Tenth Doctor.
Sword fights on Christmas and dinosaurs on a spaceship,.
This show has it all. :)
"Dinosaurs on a spaceship" - Isn't it a few series too early for that. SPOILERS (for her. I'm pretty sure the rest of us already know since only Whovians would like the show enough to watch a Dr Who reaction video)
The last Doctor wouldn't stay for dinner. This one stayed for Christmas dinner.
You'll be very happy to hear that there are many more Christmas specials to come and they had one each year up to 2017! There are other specials scattered around though and the Christmas specials do get replaced with New Year specials, but the Christmas specials finally came back just last year 😅
"No second chances. That's the kind of man i am" and as i recall 10 does keept to that pretty well. He'll give anyone a chance to repent or show remorse and change but they only get the one
A good old Britsh cuppa is all that you need in a crisis.
That and some bourbons and custard cremes
@@jaykilkenny5727 Jammy Dodgers !
@@Llanchlo Would you like a Jelly Baby?
@@frankwales Only if you reverse its polarity.
I do enjoy a good spot of tea
Christmas specials are a huge thing in the UK, all the most popular shows will do one. Getting your Christmas special shown on Christmas Day is the ultimate achievement.
The American equivalent is like watching the big (American) football games on Thanksgiving. We don’t do Christmas TV quite as obviously.
Noel Clarke apparating in your room is a terrifying thought
"Who's clothes are these?" - First, that was an unintentional pun, because yes, they are Doctor Who's clothes. But the Doctor and his companions travel to many planets and many different time periods, so they need a big wardrobe to handle any contingency. The control room you enter from the front door, which we see most of the time, is bigger on the inside than the blue police box. But the rest of the TARDIS that we sometimes see, like this episode, is MUCH bigger than that. There are also bedrooms, bathrooms, a library, and many other parts. We only get to see the other parts of the ship when necessary for plot reasons, but they are there.
The Doctor deposing Harriet Jones at the end draws some debate among fans about whether he was justified. My guess is that it's meant to be an ambiguous moment. In the episode, it comes right after "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man." We're happy about that with the Sycorax leader, but then right away he doesn't give Harriet Jones a second chance either, and we're not so sure. The Doctor's more complex (and thus more interesting) than just a hero in a white hat, there's also a darkness there that we sometimes glimpse.
What he said about Harriet Jones was in an attempt to discredit her, start turning her staff and the people against her, possibly urging her to resign. Great reaction, though! Love your videos, and great to see you doing Doctor Who
the way the doctor looks at rose it's like he's seeing the universe 😭😭😭😭😭😭🥰🥰
The first time David Tennant brought down a Prime Minister..
David Tennant is an amazing Doctor. Loved his run and still consider him one of the best. My favorite Doctor comes later, but the 10th Doctor will forever be iconic 😌
Fun fact: The first costume he got out was from Casanova which David Tennant was in
WELL DONE ON GETTING 50K!!!!! YOU DESERVE IT
Thank you so much!!
@@emmeit’s been so wonderful watching you grow. I started watching you when you were reacting to Obi Wan Kenobi and then I got completely invested when your reaction to Iron Man came out!! It’s been so fun going on this journey with you. I’ve also just started watching doctor who so I can catch up on your reactions!!
@@SciFiSwifitie started with the Star Wars Original Trilogy reactions and has been a daily viewing channel ever since
Congratulations on 50k, that's crazy! 🎉
Yes, Xmas specials are a thing on Doctor Who. The David Tennant episodes are some of the best written and the legacy continues with Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi assuming the role. Love seeing newbies get hooked on our favorite Time Lord! This is a rabbit hole you'll never regret diving down! Cheers....
CONGRATS on 50K and THANKS for this!!!!
Thank you!!
The "Don't you think she looks tired" bit is a British media idiom. The rules of the British Parliament don't allow MP's to say certain things to each other, one of which is accusing each other of being drunk. The standard euphemism is "tired," or possibly "tired and emotional" or "tired and overwrought," which has also spread to the media when talking about political figures. So the Doctor is suggesting that she looks drunk (which she kind of does in her reaction).
Of all the Doctor Who reactors I've watched, I think Emme is the first to call out the filthiness of Jackie's fish-tank. Quite right, too!
As much as I like "Deep Breath" and "Robot" and love "The 11th Hour", this is still my favorite "first" episode of a new Doctor. Tennant (like Smith) completely sold me on his Doctor in a relatively short time.
Also not sure if its intentional, but I think 10's outfit for most of the episode of pjs under a bath robe is reminiscent of the 4th Doctor wearing pjs underneath the 3rd Doctor's jacket in Robot
Note with Sycorax the name comes from
Shakespeare… (remember that 😉)
Penelope Wilton (Harriet Jones) has a great career, probably best known as Cousin Isabelle on Downton Abbey, Daniel Evans who played Daniel Llewellyn is an accomplished musical theatre actor too. I’ve seen him on Broadway in the revival of Sunday in the Park with George. This would have been the year before I think. Adam Garcia also has a fun role in “Coyote Ugly,” and a long resume. He plays the right-hand man, Alex. Sally (Anita Breim,) is Jane Seymour on the Tudors.
A lot of nuWho locations are in Cardiff, Wales. “Boom Town” has locations that are right on the water that will also feature later, 🤫. I think the apartment buildings they’re climbing up are pretty close. There used to be a Museum there that housed a lot of costumes, props, 9/10’s TARDIS set, and other cool stuff, but it’s closed sadly. I think the parking lot where Rose spots the prominent “Bad Wolf” is there too. I’ve been to Roald Dahl Plass, and the Museum. 🥰 I also ate in the restaurant in Boom Town.
David went to drama school- would have learned sword then. 😊
I always considered the Shadow Proclamation to be part high council of the Jedi and part bumbling Senate.
If you want to, look back at past Doctor’s costumes and play spot the easter egg in the closet scene. We’re meant to recognize at least several prominent accessories, depending on how good your eye is. David grew up quite the Whovian, so I bet filming that scene was brilliant.
"Don't you think she looks tired" would be like someone saying today "Don't you think Biden looks too old for this"
It was intended to be a reference to the downfall of Margaret Thatcher in the early 90s. Supposedly the seeds of doubt about her leadership were sown by one of her aides saying something very similar to this.
In British political/media parlance, "tired" is also a euphemism for "drunk" (because MP's aren't allowed to directly accuse each other of being drunk).
The Doctor Who Christmas Specials are Classic, I love the Doctor The Widow and The WardDrobe
26:20 - the right six words to the right person in the right situation, have changed her world.
Emme is unfamiliar with parliamentary politics, and how it is ruled by rumor and innuendo. "Don't you think she looks tired" is a meme, a thought contagion which will spread from member to member, resulting in an erosion of confidence in the Prime Minister.
Basically like the whole "doesn't Biden look too old for this" thing
@@Maswartz226 pause
I've seen some reactions by Emme before this but I was unsure what I was going to think about Doctor Who reactions. Turns out I'm really enjoying it. The football reference with "I don't know why I did that - I know nothing about football" had me giggling. I feel the same way.
“Don’t you think she looks tired” = “Don’t you think she should have her health looked into, just in case she’s unfit to keep being active?”
Which then spirals out into rumors that she IS unfit.
In classic DW, the Martians basically look like alligator-men in suits of armor.
Yeah, the Christmas specials are a big deal. I remember watching at least a couple DVD extras where the Christmas special was shown in a large auditorium in front of an audience of families, with live appearances by The Doctor, companions, maybe some villains which you haven’t yet seen.
"So what does this button just outside the door do?"
"It collapses that small area of floor over there!"
"Why?"
*shrugs*
"Well I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like the commander is gonna run over it when someone presses the button, is it?
The shadow proclemation is a space gov that the docter has mentioned so bringing them uo is smart
I heckin' love Jackie she's definitely the best part of Rose's companionship XD
A few British TV shows do Christmas specials. A fun way to wind down after a long Christmas lunch. Doctor Who did them from 2005 to 2017, and started again last year, so you have a few to look forward to.
The TARDIS has a big wardrobe with all sorts of clothes. In the classic series the companions would get period-appropriate outfits from it. This doesn't happen much in the revival, although Rose did get a Victorian dress in the episode with Charles Dickens. The wardrobe in this episode also has a set of Harry Potter robes as David Tennant had recently appeared in The Goblet of Fire.
Congrats on 50k subs Eme!!!
Thank you!!
There ship is an asteroid. That’s why it looks like a cave.
Fun fact: shot at a quarry in Wales. Doctor Who loves a good quarry location. 🙂
When the time comes you might want to watch the spin-off series set in the Whoniverse - Torchwood (a more adult show, you'll learn what Torchwood is later) and The Sarah Jane Adventures (for younger children but still great fun)
"Whose clothes ate these?" Funny that you should ask - there are Classic Companions costumes from storage hanging on those rails.😂
and so begins the doctor's "oh what's this? better put it in my mouth to find out" era
I'm fairly new to your channel and I love it so much! Congrats on the 50K! You have earned it! My favorite Doctor of all time is the Tenth and I'm so happy you're here. Enjoy the wonder of funny and hot David Tennant!
Also, regarding the "Martians look completely different" line, google "Ice Warriors" to know what Martians look like. (They're one of the few species in Doctor Who history to have been good and bad guys in different episodes).
When speaking to the Nestene Consciousness in "Rose", the Doctor invoked Convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation, which is an authoritative framework that carries weight with certain species. Just what the Shadow Proclamation is, and who is behind it, has not been revealed at this point.
All right everyone, this season's drinking game starts now!
Congratulations on 50k!
The first few Christmas Specials are basically just normal episodes, set at Christmas, with a little bit of Christmas iconography thrown in. There are better ones to come that embrace the Christmas spirit better, but this one is probably the best one of the Tennant era.
Thank you, Emme! ⏳ I remember this one. Yes, holiday specials are a thing with BBC stuff. The DOCTOR WHO ones are joyous... so, let it tap into that part of your mind that appreciates jingle bells. ☃
Yes, the "Christmas Special" is a thing in Dr Who
5:30 Did these Elves like Unionized or something this year?
This part got me :D Can't stop laughing
David really is my Doctor. He's really able to cover a lot of the emotional range that I want from The Doctor. Eccleston was good, but Tennant is... so much better. I know you're going to enjoy the next few seasons!
Thanks Emme fantastic reaction . Great news there’s a Christmas special almost every year and some of them really are special too. Have a lovely weekend 😃
Well done on the 50k the elfs union thanks you
My guess is had they tried to restrain the hypnotized they would've fought back violently.
Just subscribed, I watched a few of your Doctor Who reactions and really enjoyed them.
Yeah that's the TARDIS wardrobe some of the clothes are the Doctor's some belong to past companions.
6:21 Christmas tree just became a full body spinner.
_a million internet points if you know what sport I'm referring to_
each year, as I get together my christmas tree, I just get Jackie's word in my head of "Im gonna get killed by a christmas tree!" and it never fails to make me laugh
And this is where Torchwood could be started at season 1 until its end and continue where the next DW season ends.
It’s 100% a thing for Doctor Who to have a Christmas special. Most seasons will have one. It’s usually considered to be an episode 0 for that season
Merry May Christmas!
Glad you you are enjoying #10, David Tenant, in this show. But let me give you a warning. As awesome as he is in talking, it’s his silence where he becomes the most terrifying.
did his elves unionise lol
There’s a Xmas episode every szn basically
I swear my dog looks so much like yours. She's asleep on my bed while I watch lol
This is technically the second christmas episode of New Who since the episode with Charles Dickens was also set at christmas.
Also The Doctor's reaction to Harriet's reasoning is a little elitist in a way cause she is right like The Doctor isnt always around so the planet needs to defend themselves against alien threats and be capable of doing so in the absence of Doctor. Its almost like The Doctor doesnt want the human race defending themselves without him or perhaps to find a better way but as we've seen with the Doctor he offers the chance to leave before having to stop them and i suppose thats the difference.
The Doctor also robs the country of the golden age the 9th Doctor talked about in the slitheen two parter
Loving watching someone new fall in love with DW. As you must be thundering through Series 2 now (very broke so no Patreon for me sadly), you must be noticing Torchwood pop up. The first series of the spinoff Torchwood, aired just after Series 2. It's not essential viewing by any means, but I think you might get something out of watching it... There are more spinoffs but let's not spoil those yet. 😜
Just to clarify. Blood type is inherited from biological parents, and the ABO genes and Rh factors come from both parents. There are many possible combinations, so a baby may have the blood type and Rh factor of either parent, or a combination of both parents. For example, parents who both have Type O will always pass on their own blood type, but parents who both have Type B can have a child with either Type O or B. A combination of Type A and Type B can lead to any blood type.
@emme reacts
The Christmas Special in the Series are allwas a transion from one season to the next season. Some are count as episode 0 of a season.
Great reaction, also love your dog - Is it a Whippet? - I watch Dr Who with mine too LOL
She’s a jack russel beagle mix!!
FWIW, the chance of neither Rose, Jackie, nor Mickey being affected by the phenomenon affecting ⅓ of the world if each was calculated independently (i.e. not related to blood type or any other dependent variable) is about 30%. It's the equivalent of the chance of throwing three six-sided dice (3d6) and having none of them be a 5 or 6.
Hi Emme!😊 I got a late start, otherwise I would have watched this right away being a HUGE Doctor Who fan! The Christmas specials are a tradition for the modern Doctor Who episodes. For many people DAVIID TENNANT is their favorite modern Doctor Who. I think many, especially the younger generation prefer MATT SMITH, as he is the youngest Doctor Who ever. ROSE is still one of my top companions in the modern series. KAREN GILLAN (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jumanji films) is another. She got her big start here.🤯 David Tennant had the longest adjustment after his regeneration as The Doctor on screen.😉 Sometimes logic escapes the Doctor Who series, you just have to go with it.😉 Like you brought up about the blood types. Woohoo!!!! 50K subscribers!!!🥳🥳🎉🎉🎈🎈🎊🎊 Congratulations Emme!😊 You'll hit 100K in no time! Great reactions to David Tennant's solo premiere in this Christmas special, Emme!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 Harriet Jones! What was she thinking?
The Doctors spectacles = David Tennants own specs!
vote of no confidence would have been alarming back then... These days the UK government is almost expected to have one per prime minister!
There is indeed a Christams Special every years. Im not British but it seems since its revival in 2005 it became sort of a British tradition to sit down and watch the Doctor Who special that aired on Christmas day. Truthfully i used to actually pirate the episodes and watch them late on Christmas too, since i couldnt get the BBC anyother way back then. They also all take place on Christmas and are Christmas theamed ofcourse.
Thank you ❤
I forgot about the pilot fish. I mean I remember them but not that it was part of this episode. And yes there is a special almost every year after new who started.
I can only assume that people affected by the Sycorax were not restrained for the same reason that one is not to disturb a sleepwalker. Perhaps that is what the others were thinking.
and TorchWood is all the same letters as Doctor Who in a diferent order.
The 3rd, 4th & 5th Doctors all had sword fights. 7 also kinda had a bit of a thing with his umbrella.
While its later retconed the ciruit curentky isnreferencing old docter who lore basicly to use the tardis timlords had some artificial organ inolanted that kets them bond with it it also causes the regeneration process
Doctor Who never really had much of a Christmas connection in the old days, but with Nu-Who, it's had about 12 Christmas episodes. I wouldn't say any of them are all-time classics, but they're generally pretty fun... which is good, since (as this episode establishes) they're all canon, so you gotta watch them...
Back in the '70s we used to get an "omnibus edition" of a previously aired story, shown at Christmas. They would pick a story that had been popular, join all the parts together and edit it down to make a movie-length version with minimal padding.
I didn't know that! Before my time, sadly. But I guess it explains why RTD was so keen on having ACTUAL Christmas specials!
@@csmadisun Some of the new BluRay season boxsets feature these Christmas omnibus versions/"Director's cuts" as extras. =:o}
@@therealpbristow I knew they had those edited versions (I actually own all the boxsets, because I have more money than sense), but I hadn't realised they originally aired at Christmas. Nice bit of information to know though!
