I really liked the professor-student relationship Twelve and Bill had. I prefer a relationship like that then the romantic ones the Doctor has been getting since the revival.
Bill and 12 reminded me a lot of Ace and 7
In fairness, Donna was never like that and everything with 13 has been platonic.
Capaldi had pretty awesome companion dynamics, yeah. A partner in crime (to a very lethal fault) in Clara and a student in Bill. Wasn't huge on Nardole, though.
Bill should have had atleast the same number of seasons as Clara
Oi, dont disrespect Donna like that! There was no romance there and it was beautiful
This scene summarized:
Doctor: Why do you sneak into my lectures?
Bill: I'm sexually attracted to women.
Doctor: ... Why do you sneak into my lectures?
Bill: What's that box over there?
Doctor: A box. Why do you sneak into my lectures?
Bill: You're really hard to distract.
Doctor: Yes. Why do you sneak into my lectures?
Bill: I'm smart and I like learning from you.
Doctor: You can stay.
you forgot the " Who are you?" " The Doctor." " Doctor What?"
+
Question: Why do you sneak into my lectures?
Best Answer: I am sexually attracted to women.
She was trying to change the subject so the Doctor wouldn't do something to punish her for not doing her job.
EPIC LGBT-Represantation!
The literally most boring Companion the Doctor ever had, even counting pets AND she
was clearly defined as the most slow-in-the-dead of them all. Took longer to figure things out
than all others. Even Donna - Wow!
Oh, and of course let's not forget her Lesbian Water Friendo:
Allmighty for no reason, a walking Plot Hole and just to make it even more embarasing,
her hair colour sometimes changes for no reason.
Wonder what the Daleks think when they hear the laughable idea that there's apparently somewhere Spaceship-Fuel
that makes Humans Allmighty when touching it. Stronger than Daleks - we even literally saw Daleks battle that thing!
Yikes - when bad Writing and mindless writing make a Baby!
12 was my doctor. He portrayed the characteristics of the doctor perfectly. An emotionally delicate man who is tired of losing everything he loves. Yet also he still retains the “mad man in a box” characteristic. I will never let you go
That's a facade. The man is a monster who decides who lives and who dies. Mr. Copper reminded him of that fact. That's why he got a transmat bracelet.
But, The Doctor isn't a "mad man in a box". He never was!
Who was Mr. Copper?
Mr. Copper was on the Titanic. That was in a Christmas special. Voyage of the Damned. He also got to stay on Earth. And had millions of dollars on a company credit card. He started the Mister Copper Foundation.
ShadowSlam and the mr copper foundation created the subwave network that Harriet jones used to communicate to the doctor with in “The Stolen Earth”
When Bill says she never applied and that it's something the Doctor would have had to handle earlier instead of later and he says he'll figure it out... I just realized he means he will apply her by going back in time before the deadline. Genius
Or maybe he founded Cambridge and has sufficient pull to get Bill in as his latest protege.
Or maybe, and surely, both
@@blairbrown4812 They're not at Cambridge; the university's name is St Luke's.
@@lucyhartwell2134Pretty sure a founder of Cambridge would have sufficient pull on any university
@@NaNNaNNaNNaNNaN Why? Cambridge is prestigious but it’s not the only prestigious university in the UK
They fit though, the way she goes on about some girl she liked when she was supposed to being answering a question. He talks about poetry when he should be teaching physics. Same difference.
Yea they seem like a neat team
that's what people do when they don't want to talk about something u.u They try switch the topic over and over again.
Thank you. This actually helped. Ever since this aired I was a bit bothered by how strangely it was written... "Why do you come to my lectures?" "I'm a lesbian"... it felt somehow forced.. But your comment actually helped me appreciate it in a different light.
@@Domihork it's also worth mentioning, everyone seems to summarize it as her saying "I'm a lesbian". That's what people are hearing, because homosexuality is othered. She didn't mention her orientation at all. She told a quirky story about a beautiful girl who she showered with chips and discovered a platitutde about beauty in the process.
Ethan Barker ^^
My guy. God bless. So tired of people acting like having a gay or black character on a show is somehow “forced” while having straight and/or white characters isn’t.
Bill deserved more time on the TARDIS. And the 12th Doctor being a mysterious professor at a university deserved more time than a blink of setting up context. I want an entire season of intermittent Professor Doctor Capaldi, and I want an one more season of the Doctor and Bill.
This scene, in a nutshell, is all the potential we could've gotten but didn't.
Just like Amy and Rory being occasional guests on the TARDIS, while the Doctor spending indeterminate amounts of time in between by himself, is the kind of subject material for an entire Doctor's saga, and it's instead relegated to an unsatisfying half of a season.
I actually really enjoyed her character. She wasnt given a title likd impossible girl, the girl who waited, she was just the likeable girl.
The cursed girl
@@Fridge_Fiend Right? like they killed her almost every episode lol
The plucky young girl who helps me out!!!
... she has a title it's "the cybermen who cried"
I loved her character too. It’s funny a lot of the other companions like annoy the doctor into being their companions but he picked cause he found her odd and curious because she smiles when she doesn’t understand because she like loves what she doesn’t understand and she wants to learn more about about it.
1. Bill and the doctor naturally make a nice pair
2. The doctor has an awesome office at the university (what the betting most of those manuscripts are originals and not just re-publications)
3. Clearly he hasn't forgotten about those closest to him (the photo frames on his desk)
And so much more besides that, all in one scene. Absolutely incredible
He has a mug full of sonic screwdrivers
I'm guessing he took over the post and office from his retired timelord friend Prof Chronotis after the events of Shada. Not exactly the same office of course.
He probably wrote the manuscripts while he was bored. Since he's grounded, he had to pass the time somehow.
I really like the way there’s a short focus on Susan’s portrait in this scene. To me it tells us about what Bill and the Doctor’s relationship is and that is something akin to a grandfather/granddaughter, professor/student relationship. Something really sweet and different after all the Doctor’s ‘romantic interest’ companions.
At the time, I thought the ninth Doctor's relationship with Rose was like father and daughter, especially after seeing how similar the Doctor was to her deceased father. He even teases her about Micky and the lad with the flip open forehead. Then came the kiss in the series climax and it was eeeeeeeeyuk time.
@@benjamindavis4974 Yeah, I remember that, but I still thought it was a bit yuk.
@@benjamindavis4974 I don't know, I've never had to remove a time vortex from anyone.
Seriously though, I'd have preferred forehead to forehead, eye to eye and whoosh. As the vortex seemed to go in through Rose's eyes it would seem more logical to me.
As I said, it was the father/daughter vibe previously that made me uncomfortable with it. I wouldn't have liked to see any of the classic Doctors do that with their companions.
I've never really seen any discussion of their relationship to know how other people saw it. People seem far more interested in the relationship between Ten & Rose. Maybe others didn't see Nine and Rose in the way I saw them, so wouldn't have reacted the way I did.
And the similarity in finding a mystery or challenge something to smile about instead of frown just like Susan.
Nine and Rose - Age difference friends to lovers
Ten and Rose - Romeo and Juliet but without steroids and more tragedy
Ten and Martha - Depressed unrequited crush rebound
Ten and Donna - Besties
Eleven and Amy - Family?
Eleven and Clara - Innocent crushes
Twelve and Clara - Married couple?
Twelve and Bill - Space grandad and gay granddaughter
Thirteen and Yaz - Unhealthy crushes
"I don't care who's dying, never, ever be late."
I think I'm gonna use this line
DaBezz "I am very particular about time."
Says the guy who was 12 years late for Amelia...
Time souffle. He's very particular about time souffle. It needs the right amount of salt.
its been over a year, have you used it?
DaBezz me too, my aunt needs to hear it
But you're not a time lord.
What happens if you're late yourself?
HE KEPT HIS SONIC SCREWDRIVERS, I did not know that
Stuart Sarn I did. Though I've yet to watch the finale, I did see a clip if Noddle using the 4th Doctor's sonic
Raul Victor or maybe he lost all of them and the TARDIS just threw up screwdrivers
I like to think he rebuilt them. Like a mixture of sentimental value, and just too much time.
Did he keep River's?
@@plucas1 unknown, we know nardole retrieved rivers diary so he may have gotten the sonic then if the doctor left it, the doctor might have taken it with him which is the same sonic he gives to river on husband's of River song or he made a new sonic for river based on her sonic, which would be ironic since then she would have been named after herself and use a sonic based on itself
Love the fact that the Doctor looked at Susan's picture in the middle of his conversation with Bill. It was like he enjoyed having someone new to teach and fuss over in a paternal sort of way.
Bill brought this fresh aura to the show that made series 10 look like a season 1 of a brand new show!
This episode was intended as kind-of a soft reboot (hence its title being 'The Pilot'). Perhaps a slightly odd choice of direction, given that it was the last series for that Doctor but then again, Season 18 (1981) with Tom Baker was kind-of a soft reboot for Classic Who.
It isn't so odd when you remember that Capaldi's first season was written for Matt Smith. I think they always wanted to go off in a slightly different direction but didn't initially get the chance.
Gmail com not all the scripts weren't finalised but the entire season was well into the planning stages when he left to do How to Catch a Monster.
@@BrotherJosephus i wouldn't call it a soft reboot, more like they were just starting with a clean slate after clara and wanted to give fans a mix of both the classic feel of nuwho and the developing plotlines of the last few seasons.
@@xbigsoup It IS intended to be a suitable starting point for new viewers.
I love how he keeps a picture of his granddaughter and River.
If he told her to call him Doctor Foreman that’d be even better
Where is River’s picture? I kept looking but didn’t see it
@@elqua108 0:14 look on his desk
@@v1ncebuthesjesus135oh wow this is the first time i’ve ever noticed the river photo !!!! 😮😢
"We'll sort that out later."
"Needed to sort it out earlier"
So he'll sort it out earlier, but do it later. No biggie.
4:01 that momentary glance at Susan‘s picture suggests two possibilities. First, the doctor suspected that this was Susan and her latest regeneration given that she is also a Time Lord. Second, Bill reminds him of her and her eagerness to learn. I do like the dose of nostalgia on his desk, having both his granddaughters picture and his wife rivers picture displayed.
I still have yet to watch the original series, but this still melted me when I saw it. It was like Capaldi almost got his wish to have Susan back in the Tardis. Hopefully it's still a possibility in a future special
Artisan1979 the hell is that time stamp you got?
flynn burnell yeah
Susan couldn't regenerate, as she was the last natural born Gallifreyan (See "The Cartmel Masteplan" and "Lungbarrow"). Also, Susan didn't have a TARDIS. Plus, Susan would know who he is, as him being called The Doctor is a dead giveaway AND Susan lived out her days in the 22nd century.
@@thelastmotel even if she was able to regen, he would know, timelords can recognise eachover dispite regeneration
Don't ever get rid of the Capaldi Jumpscare
"Poetry, physic same thing because it's rhyme"
Lucas I see you
In Black can you explain that bit to me?
Luis R. George Lucas (Star Wars) said once that physic and poetry ( and his films) are the same thing because they have rhymes
(I think )
um actually it's " because the rhymes
I took the course Physics for poets at uni
"I'm very particular about time."
Hah!
"Doctor What?"
It's a "Do what I say, not what I do" thing
Tell this to Amy...
aerosky That was more a calibration issue with the TARDIS though. Poor Amy indeed.
You again!
"I'm very particular about _time_ " even the writer must've had a smirk on his face while he wrote that line haha
I loved that Bill is the only companion that asked where the toilet was. Also, damn! The Tardis has a macaroon dispenser!
It's sad she got so much negative feedback from fans of Doctor who. I thought her character was an intelegent companion, and brought a breath of fresh air to the show.
„and you are thinking ‚he doesn’t look old enough‘ “
„no… „
that look from him is priceless 😂
Thanks to the power of Peter Capaldi's words of wisdom, the channel had surpassed 1 million subscribers!! Congrats!!!
Riain Biehle Don't forget to subscribe!!!
Evonne Okafor lol as if I could!
XD
They should have used Bill's theme more often. Such a beautifully positive tune.
I’m gonna miss bill so much man, wish they kept her on for more than one season 😪
@buchner funnel And then some water that can become anything and be anywhere.
Whilst also becoming a person in the database of every single sentient being who ever lived.
Everyone who has ever died, is still alive. Bill is alive twice.
Rory should be alive 3 times in that archive alone.
And Claras? thousands.
@@thehiddenninja3428 I'm like, okay with it, but it also low key bothers me that none of the Doctor's companions have technically died.
Rose and that gang - parallel world
Martha - left on her own
Donna - ripped out my heart with a fate arguably worse than death
Jack - technically dead but he lived for eons
Amy and Rory - also technically dead but they lived out their lives
Clara - is with Me
And Bill - off with Heather the space puddle
(I'm just starting season 12 right now so idk if Ryan, Yaz, or Graham are gone yet. Please no spoilers, thanks)
Although I don't know that it bothers me that much because I love these characters so much. I just feel like they're not taking any risks by definitively and tragically killing any of the companions off. But then, I don't know that my heart could handle it so I'm conflicted 😂
Cool Cyberman companion tbh
@@Lealooney42 Eh, companions getting written out through death was fairly infrequent even in old Who. In the old series, there were only four companions that died over the course of the show, and two of them were in the same story. Companion death sticking is honestly a rare occurrence.
I really love Bill's little monologue on giving chips to her crush because it's so, normal. Like this is the way my coworkers talk, it really makes Bill feel *human* in a way none of Moffat's other companions do (not necessarily a bad thing)
Also, it reminds me of how the Doctor sometimes also goes on tangents while explaining something lol
It feels just slightly improvised and aimless, which makes it feel more like someone actually talking, having formed a general concept of what they want to communicate in their head, but not the exact wording and intonation. It feels less like a script in that sense.
I'd never realised that they blatantly put in a shot of Susan's picture on "I noticed you"! Bill is very very blatantly an adopted granddaughter to the Doctor.
This was one of the best relationships I think pretty much any of the New Who Doctors has had with a companion. What a beautiful way to introduce her and have them interact. Also, I really love the idea of the Doctor just being an established professor. It kinda feels like it harkens back to when he was a regular part of UNIT.
"Yeah it doesn't really does it. I was hoping something would develop. What's that?"
That is maybe the most Doctor thing to come out of a companions mouth ever. Let alone before they even begin to travel together.
SHE WENT AGAINST NORM!! "Doctor What?" IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED!!
Rose did it back in the first season.
@@rock21611 Martha's mother as well...
@Walrus Bellhop I'll do you one better. Doctor Why?
I'll do you one better.
Doctor Which?
@@ryank278 Alright I'll ask you this one time, which Master do you serve?
For my public speaking class, we had to memorize 30 seconds (ish) of part of a book, movie, or tv show, etc. I chose Bill explaining how she flirts by giving her crush extra chips at the canteen. Class thought it was funnny, lol
I really wish this led to more Capaldi seasons, tbh. Series 10 was just so wonderful and really felt like the best of Capaldi. Series 9 and 8 obviously have lots to love but Series 10 and its soft reboot approach really just brought so much life to 12.
Great to see a picture of Susan. Can she still call the Doctor "Grandfather"?
She’s probably call the Doctor as “Grandmother”...
Thirteen would probably make Susan call her 'nan' :)
@@oderalon Nannynoonoo.
*Loved the sonic's..*
Also, congratulations on 1,000,000 subscribers! :D
Me too. Also, congratulations.
Dosent everyone (I do) plus congrats
Nothing beats a sonic....i wonder what the 13th Doctor's screwdriver will look like
Ashleybradbury Think they may keep Twelves for a least this series. Maybe more
2:31 The doctor's reaction is priceless 🤣🤣
The doctor: I don't care who is dying never ever be late I am very particular about time.
Says the guy that dropped rose off home a year late and made amy wait fourteen years giving her the nickname the girl who waited
That wasn't his fault the Tardis decided to Troll.
@@theo-jamesmoulton2000 lol true
Man I miss Bill and 12!
I miss Bill way more than Clara
Help me pleas pleas...
Haven't gotten around to watching this series yet, so this is my first time seeing her character - my God this actress is fantastic. Incredibly natural performance
Oh, that was the most promising start to a faithful friendship and adventures. I already miss the 12th Doctor😢.
This was a great refresh. My little cousin has got into Doctor Who because if this episode.
This shows such amazing potential. The season itself did okay, but this opening scene with the two of them just feels so incredibly full of promise. I wish we could use this framework more often, I like the Doctor as a professor at a university.
I love how he kept his old screwdrivers
I actually had a teacher like that. Our school had two classes a week on Friday called "organic garden", in which the coolest teacher in the school, who looked like a weird super cheerful combination of farmer and drill sergeant, rambled about the chemical structure of sugar, the geography of beaches, and economic inflation.
When bill said "doctor what" it reminds me of when rose said it when doctor who came back on TV
I absolutely love the irony in the line "Don't ever be late, I'm very particular about time"
I loved the Doctor and Bill. Such a brilliant combination that ended far too soon.
YEEEESSSS THEY'RE DOING SERIES 10 CLIPS!!!!
Honestly this entire season was just pure magic
Love the Doctor's office. Photos of Susan and River (technically only two members of his family by blood or marriage (excluding his in-laws) we know of). Thousands of books he's probably read dozens of times multiple regenerations ago. A myriad of knick-knacks and treasures that he's collected over the decades. Old Sonic Screwdrivers!
Moffat and Capaldi probably went ham asking the props department to put so many callbacks to classic Who.
Love the sonic screwdrivers in the pot 😅😅😅
me too
I have one in my bed room cub full of screwdrivers
Never forget Bill. She was something wonderful and rare. She'll be remembered just as fondly as Amy or Sarah or even Rose
God she better be or i will never forgive doxtor who fans
Watching this again I felt a great warmth inside. I like Bill. She's great.
And I like how The Doctor tried to offer an opportunity for higher education to a brilliant soul over here. The Doctor is not just The Doctor here, he's also a True Teacher at heart.
I love the times when the Doctor stays in one place for a while and ends up decorating the place
God i miss this duo, my favorite from this show, 12th being this old mysterious professor who have seeing everything, and Bill this young curious student with a great spirit to see the universe ❤️
"Most people when they don't understand something, they frown. YOU smile."
That's brilliant. It says so much about who Bill is with such a short comment.
I actually really liked this outfit on Capaldi. I wish we saw it more.
"Doctor what ?" - I love that : everyone else says , "Doctor Who ?" ; Only , Bill would say , "Doctor what?" - Brilliant
can i tell you guys something if you look extremely close you can see that silver globe that The Master had in the 2007 episode sound of the drums remember that scene where the master says you must of been like god and he spins the globe around that was the exact globe the 12th doctor had in his office so yeah that was an Easter Egg
Wouldn't it be great, if Bill returned and interacted with the female Dr. and see her try to get her head round that he had turned into a she, and the concept of regeneration.
Honestly, I'd love to see Martha, Donna, and especially River also run into the new Doctor. I can't imagine how they'd work out River and Donna 😰 but I'd love to see it
@@Oreo9702 River would be interesting but Donna would be amazing. The entire episode could just be Donna and the Doctor in an empty room. :)
Just no.
@@Oreo9702 River is easy. I swear that line about 12 being like her second wife is a reference to getting married to 13 in my head cannon.
I liked her almost immediately. Normal, asked questions, got to see her grow.
i will never forget to subscribe to the official doctor who youtube channel peter never ;-;
Yes! I love how the channel is redesigning itself for the new things. All we need now is Jodie telling us to subscribe.
I just noticed that Bill has peace symbol earrings... and I thought I couldn't possibly love her any more!
I feel like the student teacher relationship had so much potential.
I really like Bill. I'm glad the fans responded well to her because she was like Ace and Rose in one.
Seriously though... one of Bill's last adventures she discovers that the Tardis translates? She needed another season. :C
Best companion of the Capaldi era.
I almost skipped Series 10 because I was so sick of the previous "Clara Who" episodes. But damn she was an amazing companion! Kind of a like a combo of Donna and Amy.
G_Man I know. It was so relieving to depart from Clara "she's so clever. she's so sassy. she's so awesome" Oswald to Bill who just felt like a normal person.
Agreed, she was actually a normal girl, unlike Clara, not some impossible girl who is the most important being in the universe or whatever
I miss her. Too bad she couldn't have been there for a second season. I don't really like when the companions stay longer than that. It was okay with Jamie but some of the others not so much.
How beautiful cinematography!
Oh, and the dialogue is spot on!
Isn´t it lovely that he has a picture of River in his desk?
"Never, ever be late. I'm very particular about time."
Says the guy who left Amy Pond waiting two years after saving the planet.
This makes me want to watch the first episode with the 12 doctor cause i have it on dvd
His first *and second* seasons are on Netflix. As well as all the other episodes backwards till the 2005 reboot.
Joseph Holder Well then, there you go again! (paraphrasing Vastra) :)
They aren’t on Netflix for me :(
Huh. No idea what's up.
Doctor Who isn't on Netflix in the U.S. Amazon has streaming rights to the show here.
Loved this scene sooooo much!!! 12 was lovely and became to love Bill right there! Favorit season! Will miss these two!
The Doctor remembers everything from the Vortex. Just not all at the same time. Rory remembered those two thousand years. But not always. A door he can open and close.
I still think they should have low key changed the “who” to “what” in the title sequence for that episode
It’s scenes like this that make me really like Bill. Shame she was only present for a season but I hope she comes back in the future
I never noticed the Sonic screwdrivers
3:11 bro that smile looks like Tom Bakers
favourite companion ever, love her
I still wish that somehow that Bill could be used in the new Dr Who. I believe she would be great, even if used from time to time.
Bring back Donna :(
I'm here only because of this 3:51
Really?
I don’t know what it is, but seeing the Doctor do ordinary everyday things, just affects me. Whether that’s seeing him answer the telephone, eat a sandwich, sit on a swing, or as in this case, keeping pictures of his wife and granddaughter on his desk. We all seem to hold The Doctor on this pedestal of “the man who saves the universe”, so seeing him do every day things and having it remind us that he’s just a man doing the best he can, makes me both really happy and really sad. Classic doctor was usually fun, but New Who Doctor always has a very bitter, sweet tinge. When you think about it, older people always do. They’ve just seen and lost so much. That’s what I love about Doctor Who. The man may be an alien, but he really embodies the human experience in so many underappreciated ways.
The Out Of Order sign is a 1st doctor's reference
God I loved Bill she was such a nice and comfortable character to watch, exactly what we needed after emotionally draining s9
Aaand I'm gonna go watch all of S10 again
Ian-moone123 10 was the best of capaldi
"Doctor WHAT?" LMAO. Bill was one of the best companions ever.
So, if I understand the timeline correctly, 12 was staying for decades in this university, hiding out while his other selves (including not just previous incarnations but also his own earlier self) were running around other parts of the UK. He probably specifically sought out a nice quiet location that he distinctly remembered never visiting before, to make sure he wouldn't run into himself.
I miss Capaldi
'Why pick on me?'
*Looks at photo of Susan*
'Well I noticed you'
Love how the doctor thinks he looks too young to be here for 50years.
1:33 a very doctor esque line
"Doctor What?"
The Doctor in his head: Damn it! So Close!
bill potts is the love of my life
just think... those screwdrivers are still sat there on that desk.
Their dynamic was so wonderful, man.
12, Bill and Nardole were the best Tardis team since 9, Rose and Captain Jack imo.
3:34 So says the man that made a Scottish girl wait for him for twelve years when he promised five minutes.
Well he wasn't scottish then was he
I've never seen a professor with such a large office.
Time And Relative Dimension In Space . The Doctor's Lecture . It means Life . Doctor Who Series 10 😀👍
This episode brought be back in. Love Bill, love this episode!
