One of my favorite scenes from an early (First Doctor) episode is when they arrived at a "ruined" London, and the various cast members *talked* about all the ruined and collapsed buildings, like "Oh, look, there's the Parliament Building[1] with a great big hole in it"... but you never saw any of this, all the shots were of the cast looking "past" the camera to the "ruined city", because matte paintings or models cost *money*, man! [1] Whatever it's called in England, I forget the precise name.
@@ianharac5153 The Palace of Westminster is where Parliament sits, Number 10 is the official home of the PM and Government and Whitehall (which is an area in the City of Westminster) is where the day-to-day running of government happens. I'm presuming the serial was the Dalek Invasion of Earth but it might have been the one where they shrink and think London has been destroyed.
"Brilliant! Oh, and once we're done there..." "Yes, we can go to that old building near the cobblestone streets." "I actually wanted to visit a point in history that I've never seen before." "Ah, well, in that case, we'll approach the old building from a slightly different direction this time!"
Don't get me wrong, I love doctor who and I love the daleks but I'm kinda sick of seeing them.... There is just no suprise factor anymore when they turn up. I swear if they turn up in the next series I'm gonna stop watching cos it's getting kinda boring seeing them on screen 🙄🤣

Clara - 'We need to go home, because I'm the Impossible girl and just magically know better and I'm always right like I read the script or something, lol' This is about where I stopped watching. Came back to watch 12 die and was initially curious about the upcoming female Doctor, but then I missed the start of the new season, and then I only ever heard bad things about it so I decided I don't care nearly enough and just rewatched The show from 9th to 11th Doctors
The funniest thing about the constant return of the Daleks is that they were completely wiped out in their first ever appearance. The precedent was set right out of the gate.
I mean that appearance was chronologically for that type of dalek their last so it’s not that much of a stretch. At least for the first couple times they came back, anyway.
"At least I'm finally ginger" I was not expecting a straight up reference, but that was nice. Also, it's amazing you got miss Katherine Tate as a guest star to reprise her role!
I once read something along the lines of: “It says a lot about Doctor Who that every episode that has “Daleks” in the title uses the appearance of the Daleks as a ‘surprise’/cliffhanger as if there was no way anyone would expect it”
"It's us again, it's us again!" I love the Daleks and all, but that is absolutely spot on. Every time The Doctor defeats them, and this time for good, they always inexplicably come back.
“But Doctor, couldn't we just go, like, two days further back in time to prevent this situation from happening in the first place?“ “Not anymore, we are already part of the events. This show would be a lot less interesting if I didn't always show up when shit has already gone down, wouldn't it?“
We can literally restart the universe, except when that would be too much of a cop-out. Only when we’ve really painted ourselves in a corner does that button become operative.
I like to think that if the tardis picks up a significant event near the time and place the doctor is, it will just dump them there considering how little control the doctor seems to have at times.
- A magic box that can go absolutely anywhere in space and time. You name it. "What about London" -[a small pause] Absolutely anywhere in space and time. LOL
“but at least no one had to die” he really NAILED the worsening moral ambiguity of the show. i mean the double standards are horrendous. like i’m a longtime fan but how many times has the Doctor perpetuated a genocide of one form or another because the Doctor decided one entire species of alien had to die?? the one in Venice with Matt Smith and the fish people comes first to mind, and the audience wrote the whole thing of as the Doctor being hero who managed to save “everyone”
It's funny how American movies always assume that the aliens would start the destruction of Earth with Manhattan. Actually, almost all aliens immediately go for vaguely London-looking streets in Cardiff and the rural farmlands of Wales. The most realistic alien invasion scenario probably involves time-worms who escaped from New New London in 6342 AD, possessing clothing store mannequins, scaring Welsh cows somewhere on a farm.
The Welsh farmer then gets the brilliant idea to put these mannequins to their natural use: as scarecrows to ward off birds and trespassers, like those brats down the road. Things are very peaceful and everyone's happy with the new arrangement (excepting, of course, the crows and the Dunbe brothers) but everything comes crashing down when the Inexplicably Welsh Doctor arrives and decides everything is evil. The Doctor gets a good smackdown by the Dunbe brothers who are now the Welsh farmer's hired hands, and everybody learns a very good lesson about mannequins...!
i mean from a military standpoint it would make sense to nuke the strongest countries urban and industrial centres first, especially with the united states having military bases across the world it makes sense that the biggest and most industrialized city of the most influential nation would be targeted first
My favourite part of Doctor Who is when the mass murdering Aliens are treated with every kindness and the frightened humans who want to kill it in self defence are treated with total contempt.
To be fair there's character explanation to that. And it's not like The Doctor will happily let those people die either. They still try and protect them. - But The Doc wants to have higher expectations for humans. Wants them to be above it all, and a people they can relate to. Thus they get held to a different standard
Maybe you missed all the parts where it explains the motivations of the aliens and why the Doctor is trying to protect them? Not like he treats the genuinely bad ones, like the Daleks, with kindness.
I mean if you’re talking about the Christmas Invasion, which is the only time I can remember when that was the case, it wasn’t because the humans were defending themselves, it was because they fired on a retreating enemy that had no intention of returning.
"You look like an angler with historic sex convictions." "You have no idea how historic. Let's talk to this inexplicably Welsh alien!" I nearly choked on my coffee laughing so hard
The Van Gogh actor of whom you speak is Tony Curran. He's perfect as Van Gogh, bringing the man to life, showing us a small part of the emotional turmoil Van Gogh felt nearly all his life.
Have the Doctor keep calling him Vincent Van Goff and correct him. It's Vincent Van GO. Van GO. You're the only one who calls me Goff and it's weird. Stop it.
i remember being a doctor who fan… well actually, i was a fan when i was 4-8. then i just forgot all about it and now it’s just sort of nostalgic- a couple episodes did traumatise me but there were a couple that fascinated me to the point where it’s concerning

@@Aeroldoth3 Unless I'm missing something here in turn, your comment seems to suggest you don't know the phrase "crushingly inevitable"...? It refers to something that is not just inevitable, but is _so_ dully predictable yet equally grimly unavoidable the mere thought of it gives you a crushing sense of impending doom and/or disappointment.
"IT'S US AGAIN." I know they're contractually obligated to appear in every series (that's not even a joke [EDIT: I have since been informed that the Daleks are, in fact, NOT contractually obligated to appear every series, they're just in every new series because they're popular]), but every time the Daleks appear only to be "destroyed for good" I kinda just roll my eyes. Like sure, all Daleks have been wiped out, see you next series I guess.
"Daleks... and this time they... ...hate their own existence... and that makes them more dangerous than ever! ...are a Dalek empire at its peak... and that makes them more dangerous than ever! ...are isolated and low on resources... and that makes them more dangerous than ever! ...have unpayable student loan debt... and that makes them more dangerous than ever! ...got really into season 5 of Castle... and that makes them more dangerous than ever! ...painted themselves periwinkle... and that makes them more dangerous than ever!" ...built a recycling infrastructure that actually does what it's supposed to... and that makes them more dangerous than ever!

I like how he landed in the rock quarry lol! For those who may not know, a lot of the early episodes were filmed in a rock quarry, it's been a running joke.
Early episodes, middle episodes, recent episodes... Rock quarries have always been a favourite setting for science fiction because they are cheap to film in, and don't have any obvious earth life or human structures to ruin the shot. Sometimes you can do a bit of camera trickery to give them an alien-looking sky color. Even Star Trek resorts to the quarry in a number of episodes.
I remember sticking my little world receiver radio's antenna outside of the highest window of the house as a kid, trying to listen to faraway foreign radio stations. One time, I tuned right into the middle of a Doctor Who audio story. Having never head of the show or what it's about (it's not well known where I live), I was utterly confused by it.
Why would anyone be upset? It's brilliant, spot-on, and a great homage to a wonderfully cheesy and entertaining (until recently, at least) sci-fi program! I know you said you are not upset, but you make that sound somehow bizarre?
@@ximono Most of them, yes. Though to be fair there are a couple of outliers, some of them standing out because they're absolutely horrible and others because they're actually really damn good. In the end the quality always balances out.
That's why they always do those constant half turns - they're all turned about. (But I always think of them as having a perpetual machine hangover - the constant need to kill. They'd probably be appeased by a coffee or 2)

@@Somnogenesis Well, I took off the cricket bat but I would never take off my celery, I'm just too afraid to get poisoned by the gases in the Praxis range and die :)
@@Alinor24 yes, it was. I believe it was mentioned in the 5th Doctor's last episode (Caves of Androzani). He said the celery would turn purple in the presence of those gases and then he would eat the celery. Peter Davison told the writers he wanted a reason for it being a fashion accessory but not as a story element (he hated the taste of raw celery, but hey... 80s Doctor Who had good reasons for their unorthodox outfits :D)
Don't forget every first episode with a new companion that always starts with "Who are you?" "I'm the doctor." "Doctor? DOCTOR WHO?" Then the credits roll.
@@Statalyzer idk if you watch much doctor who these days but they absolutely play around with how people respond! “a doctor of what” is probably more common these days than “doctor who?”. but at the end of the day the show is pretty campy and can’t resist the occasional title drop and i kinda love it when it happens
The writers are aware of it. A few villains have gloated to the doctor about his hypocrisy: That he usually refuses to personally kill anyone out of his sense of ethics, but the deaths he has been indirectly responsible for are in the billions. Showing that at least some writers know just how much of a contradiction this is. I consider it a believable one, though. There are plenty of people who will lay rat poison to get rid of an infestation, but just can't stomach the thought of killing the fluffy little things with their own hands.
@@johnyshadow Also the scene in Extremis where he avoids a fight by just invoking his reputation - inviting some armed guards to look up his body count in their records before they try to capture him. Even the Daleks have complimented the Doctor on his occasional ruthlessness. The writers are aware of the hypocrisy, because other characters on the show use it to try to taunt him. The Doctor preaches non-violence, refuses to carry a weapon... but he will kill, reluctantly, if he believes he has no better choice. He will kill whole planets if he believes he has no better choice. Genocide on a galactic scale if he must.
The Doctor actually confesses in the audio ‘He who fights with Monsters’ that he’s not actually a pacifist: “I used to read about you back in the old days, before the war. I always thought you were a pacifist.” “You thought wrong. I was never that. It was merely a lie I’d tell myself sometimes, and others. The truth is… well, my actions have always spoken for themselves quite eloquently.”
The thing about the Daleks (and I love them) is Aristotle. He said that you had to keep building tension/danger/risk... and do it with increasing frequency up to a final denouement. He said you could only have 2 such climaxes, the first and second plot points and still have them appear as climaxes in the background noise of sub plots and world building (though Athenian plays didn't go in much for stage effects, maybe a clay mask). Things like comic books get round this by nesting plots so that one plot will end, another evolve and a third will begin (or maybe only the first and last of those) but even they generally have had reboot upon reboot. The big mistake was to make Genesis of the Daleks so good back in 1975 so that ever since it's felt like sequelitis. They can't top that story.
You have hit the nail on the head! I have noticed that whether it is Dr Who or MCU, aliens ALWAYS invade New York or London - or Cardiff at a pinch. NEVER Ulan Bator or Timbuktu or even Stornoway. They really need to try other venues, or travel will fail to broaden their minds.

This is about where I stopped watching. Came back to watch 12 die and was initially curious about the upcoming female Doctor, but then I missed the start of the new season, and then I only ever heard bad things about it so I decided I don't care nearly enough and just rewatched The show from 9th to 11th Doctors
The funniest thing about the constant return of the Daleks is that they were completely wiped out in their first ever appearance. The precedent was set right out of the gate.
I mean that appearance was chronologically for that type of dalek their last so it’s not that much of a stretch. At least for the first couple times they came back, anyway.
When you can time travel nothing is ever truly wiped out.
@Abslom Daak I suppose you just can't keep a good Dalek down.
Or a bad one...because...well...there don't seem to be any good ones.
If you want to get truly technical, their second appearance takes place earlier in time than their first appearance
@@krashd Arguably, access to time travel should actually make it really, really easy to wipe out something for good.

“But Doctor, couldn't we just go, like, two days further back in time to prevent this situation from happening in the first place?“
“Not anymore, we are already part of the events. This show would be a lot less interesting if I didn't always show up when shit has already gone down, wouldn't it?“

“but at least no one had to die”
he really NAILED the worsening moral ambiguity of the show. i mean the double standards are horrendous. like i’m a longtime fan but how many times has the Doctor perpetuated a genocide of one form or another because the Doctor decided one entire species of alien had to die?? the one in Venice with Matt Smith and the fish people comes first to mind, and the audience wrote the whole thing of as the Doctor being hero who managed to save “everyone”
It's funny how American movies always assume that the aliens would start the destruction of Earth with Manhattan. Actually, almost all aliens immediately go for vaguely London-looking streets in Cardiff and the rural farmlands of Wales. The most realistic alien invasion scenario probably involves time-worms who escaped from New New London in 6342 AD, possessing clothing store mannequins, scaring Welsh cows somewhere on a farm.
Interesting idea
The Welsh farmer then gets the brilliant idea to put these mannequins to their natural use: as scarecrows to ward off birds and trespassers, like those brats down the road.
Things are very peaceful and everyone's happy with the new arrangement (excepting, of course, the crows and the Dunbe brothers) but everything comes crashing down when the Inexplicably Welsh Doctor arrives and decides everything is evil. The Doctor gets a good smackdown by the Dunbe brothers who are now the Welsh farmer's hired hands, and everybody learns a very good lesson about mannequins...!
Don't forget that Cardiff apparently has a rift in space and time having all sorts of aliens and thier tech appearing on earth.
i mean from a military standpoint it would make sense to nuke the strongest countries urban and industrial centres first, especially with the united states having military bases across the world it makes sense that the biggest and most industrialized city of the most influential nation would be targeted first
that explains the language
My favourite part of Doctor Who is when the mass murdering Aliens are treated with every kindness and the frightened humans who want to kill it in self defence are treated with total contempt.
Seems like typical Imperial England. Murder all savage natives, protect the military people invading. :p
(not meant to be political, just jokey)
I can't possibly think what ideology that might represent 🤔🤔🤔
To be fair there's character explanation to that. And it's not like The Doctor will happily let those people die either. They still try and protect them. - But The Doc wants to have higher expectations for humans. Wants them to be above it all, and a people they can relate to. Thus they get held to a different standard
Maybe you missed all the parts where it explains the motivations of the aliens and why the Doctor is trying to protect them? Not like he treats the genuinely bad ones, like the Daleks, with kindness.
I mean if you’re talking about the Christmas Invasion, which is the only time I can remember when that was the case, it wasn’t because the humans were defending themselves, it was because they fired on a retreating enemy that had no intention of returning.

He's perfect as Van Gogh, bringing the man to life, showing us a small part of the emotional turmoil Van Gogh felt nearly all his life.

They usually start with an r so it be "The Really Crushing Inevitably of The Daleks"
If it ever happens, I will consider it a direct reference to this video
I don't get the joke. If it's about the "inevitability" of them appearing, what's the "crushing" about?
@@Aeroldoth3 Unless I'm missing something here in turn, your comment seems to suggest you don't know the phrase "crushingly inevitable"...? It refers to something that is not just inevitable, but is _so_ dully predictable yet equally grimly unavoidable the mere thought of it gives you a crushing sense of impending doom and/or disappointment.
"IT'S US AGAIN."
I know they're contractually obligated to appear in every series (that's not even a joke [EDIT: I have since been informed that the Daleks are, in fact, NOT contractually obligated to appear every series, they're just in every new series because they're popular]), but every time the Daleks appear only to be "destroyed for good" I kinda just roll my eyes. Like sure, all Daleks have been wiped out, see you next series I guess.

Rock quarries have always been a favourite setting for science fiction because they are cheap to film in, and don't have any obvious earth life or human structures to ruin the shot. Sometimes you can do a bit of camera trickery to give them an alien-looking sky color. Even Star Trek resorts to the quarry in a number of episodes.

The Doctor: "I'm a total pacifist, I'll never kill!"
Also The Doctor: 0:50
He never kills... with a gun. He just causes genocide with complicated rube goldberg devices that he tricks the enemy of the week to trigger.
The writers are aware of it. A few villains have gloated to the doctor about his hypocrisy: That he usually refuses to personally kill anyone out of his sense of ethics, but the deaths he has been indirectly responsible for are in the billions. Showing that at least some writers know just how much of a contradiction this is. I consider it a believable one, though. There are plenty of people who will lay rat poison to get rid of an infestation, but just can't stomach the thought of killing the fluffy little things with their own hands.
@@vylbird8014 I loved some of his colder moments. Time Lord Victorious is still absolutely fantastic.
@@johnyshadow Also the scene in Extremis where he avoids a fight by just invoking his reputation - inviting some armed guards to look up his body count in their records before they try to capture him. Even the Daleks have complimented the Doctor on his occasional ruthlessness. The writers are aware of the hypocrisy, because other characters on the show use it to try to taunt him. The Doctor preaches non-violence, refuses to carry a weapon... but he will kill, reluctantly, if he believes he has no better choice. He will kill whole planets if he believes he has no better choice. Genocide on a galactic scale if he must.
The Doctor actually confesses in the audio ‘He who fights with Monsters’ that he’s not actually a pacifist:
“I used to read about you back in the old days, before the war. I always thought you were a pacifist.”
“You thought wrong. I was never that. It was merely a lie I’d tell myself sometimes, and others. The truth is… well, my actions have always spoken for themselves quite eloquently.”

The thing about the Daleks (and I love them) is Aristotle. He said that you had to keep building tension/danger/risk... and do it with increasing frequency up to a final denouement. He said you could only have 2 such climaxes, the first and second plot points and still have them appear as climaxes in the background noise of sub plots and world building (though Athenian plays didn't go in much for stage effects, maybe a clay mask). Things like comic books get round this by nesting plots so that one plot will end, another evolve and a third will begin (or maybe only the first and last of those) but even they generally have had reboot upon reboot.
The big mistake was to make Genesis of the Daleks so good back in 1975 so that ever since it's felt like sequelitis. They can't top that story.
