Looking forward to 20 years later when David Tennant is in his 70s to return again as The Doctor.
It's his indiana jones. Man's is gonna cone back when he's 60, 70, 80, 90, and when he's gone they're still gonna be calling his agent asking him if he wants to do another anniversary episode, since that's how he apparently appears.
@FinniganHealey IIRC, he kept his specific doctor jacket and made it clear he'd love to be he doctor again and he's just a phonecall away.
This better actually happen. Ill be waiting
“I know these dentures…”
Please don't let it be that long. He must keep coming back.
I read a very cool interpretation that 15 is kinda like the next regeneration, but from a bit further down the Doctors timeline, not from that moment. The line "I'm fine because you fix yourself", seems to imply this: 15 is the next regeneration, but from a time AFTER 14 has already lived a long life with Donna and sorted himself and all his personal baggage out. Hence why he seems so much more happy and full of life than many of the more recent regenerations
Interesting. I was wondering about that
This was the conclusion I immediately came to after watching it. The doctor definitely still needs to keep doing his thing. The fact that he's facing down the toy maker, a reality warper, only proves that. So he has come back his own timestream to regenerate after he has dealt with his trauma. Only he's doing it before he's dealt with his trauma. So he's him after he's dealt with his trauma coming around now so he can deal with the now things he wouldn't be able to handle if he was still suffering.
it would also explain why 15 doesn’t know what’s going on, because this could have been months or even years ago for him
So his regeneration, traveled back in time to before when he is who the doctor regenerated into?
Wow that is difficult to reread what the heck-
Nah that was the 5th. Ish
Man Tennant really took Michael Sheen’s statement of him not being the doctor SUPER seriously
He really did. Guess David can always say he is the Doctor.
David & Michael should make a follow up sketch
Michael Sheen claimed that being in the Twilight movies was better than being the Doctor. I'd take that seriously too.
Michael Sheen has to play The Master at some point to a Tennant Doctor. Or the reverse. Or both at the same time..?
@@thefilmmusicaficionado7937 this would be hilarious just Michael asking if david knew when he said that
I love the little detail of his "last words". Last time he said "I don't want to go" but this time he said "Let's go". He was ready this time. He wasn't alone.
Since 14 was announced, Who fans have saying he needed to have a positive bookend of 10's last words. I always agreed but felt "I'm ready to go now" or anything like that would feel *super* clunky and forced. I can't believe I didn't consider "Allons-y" as a possibility, it fits so _perfectly_ it almost hurts.
@@artyb2710 didn’t need what they did in this episode. It makes it seem as if 10 was the greatest incarnation of the Doctor. Which I beg to differ. 10 was one of the shortest incarnations only lasting for 5 years and whining all the time in the end of time about dying and “living too long”.
@@tgiacin435Short? He did 3 seasons right? Just like most modern Doctors…. Apart from Eccelston. Then the David Tennant specials too. And I don’t see how quantity matters for the quality.
@@D__03 the quality wasn’t good either. Though I was mostly referring to the end of time crap where he started acting like an emo about dying, and talking about living too long yet he’s referring that incarnation. Lifetime wise, 10 was only alive for a couple weeks time lord time. The only reason 10 was popular was because people thought he was cute
@@D__03they mean in-universe. 11 lived for hundreds of years.
I love the homage to Peter Davison with him saying ' It feels different this time'
The two are basically family, so I think Peter gave him this idea.
@@timgorg1919"Basically family"? I'm pretty sure they quite literally are these days.
@@HOTD108_What timgorg1919 meant was that David Tennant is married to Georgia Tennant who is also the daughter of Peter Davison
@@Exit911YTThe Doctor’s daughter played the Doctor’s daughter on the show and became the Doctor’s wife. Not to be confused with Alex Kingston, who played the Doctor’s wife on the show
Definitely feels like it should be a paradox of some kind
The look on the toymakers face when he realised he doubled his problem.
VWOT?
“It’s your game. And you did this. *Toymaker can’t work out an argument against it, 14’s voice takes on a hint of “haha haha” * you doubled us”
Wonder if it was originally in the script for it to be stated explicitly that the reason the bi-generation (there’s no such thing…a myth) happened at all, was solely because of the Toymaker’s reality bending influence.
He literally was the author of his own downfall.
I love how 14 got the undershirt, vest, and trousers, while 15 got the over shirt, tie, underwear, socks, and shoes. It was the perfect separation.
I had t actually fully noticed that, that’s absolutely genius!!
The fact that David is wearing no underwear under those pants...

@@MarkGM1985 it’s a time travel show. The Tenth Doctor still exists
I was a little weirded out by the bigeneration at first but when I started to really think about it it starts to make more and more sense with the Toymaker residing outside of logic he could have most definitely been the cause of the Doctor multiplying. It's honestly incredible. And of course having Tennant come back is just chef's kiss.
The ncuti response to "you're me" is beautifully done with him going "no im me" showing us this doctor sees himself as the truest form of the doctor back to his very best and i cant wait to see a doctor who hasnt been burned heavily for 15 years by all the mistakes of their past ❤

You know every new doctor has their moment in the first episode of "I am the doctor!"
Ncuti had it right at the end here. The "I challenge you to a game". It's said at the exact aame pitch and exact same infliction as David. At that moment for me with their minds in sync at that point Ncuti had his moment and the torch has already been passed I love it.
Same, I already look forward to Ncuit’s doctor
It was so smooth
Does it mean we won't see a funny Post-Regenerarion-Confusion scene?
Well, the Doctor barely dressed is a bit of a post regeneration phase (dressed in predecessors clothes)
This scene still hurts me whenever the beam hits him. "YOU OWE ME! ONE MORE GA-" and just shot him and my jaw just drops. Like seeing this scene was beyond beautiful. Thank you RTD, NPH, and David Tennant for such an amazing performance.
But he was completely untouched by the beam... it just held him there, while the useless soldiers just watched. Then the beam which had just made a massive hole in the metal floor turned off, and neither the skinny little weasel nor his clothes were harmed.
Awful.
If you’ve watched Doctor Who for logic then I don’t know why you watch at all. These MacGuffins the Doctor pulls to win the day are what we’re here for.
@@MiaogisTeasCongrats, you dont get the point of this show
There's just something really chilling about seeing the Doctor being massacred right in front of you - and the reaction on everyone's faces around him when they realise his powerful use of words and genius wasn't enough this time to save the world (well, initially anyway).
@@Mister_Jay_Teethe point of this show is to entertain virgins who are unable to get a woman
I was so unready for Tennant to have another sad goodbye. Was so happy that he actually had a happy ending for once
Same, I was preparing to cry again.
Oh, definitely, I was bracing for heartbreak. 'The Giggle' really was an apt episode title; I couldn't stop laughing at the sheer madness of the second half.
Well, for twice if you consider the parallel universe trapped half human one that ended up with Rose
Ikr, especially when Donna said he wasn't alone this time
The universe finally had pity on this Doctor.
When Tennant says: "It feels different this time!", that's EXACTLY what the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison, who is also Tennant's real-life father-in-law) said back when he was about to regenerate into the Sixth Doctor while lying in the TARDIS floor way back in 1984.
It was pretty different considering how bonkers the Sixth Doctor was at first.

??? But both of them were wearing a white long sleeve shirt. Shouldn't David have just been in a vest? Ah, I missed that it was a long-sleeve undershirt (had to look closely at the collars to tell the difference)
Not entirely sure why the doctor wears two shirts though
Loved how 9s regeneration theme plays, as well as him being told he will be fantastic. Has brought the era full circle at the end.
Is it 9’s regeneration theme? “Hologram”? I can’t quite hear it. I need these soundtracks released on Spotify!!!
I think it's 15's theme... maybe done as a variation on 9's.
@@EricaGametlisten as he’s told he’s fantastic, it’s 9s regeneration theme (not dr theme, regeneration) played quietly.
@@OptimysticPessimystit’s quiet but I believe it is, if not it’s very similar. It’s certainly close enough to give the “full circle” vibe
They also had 14 say "here we go again" which Brigadier said when 3 regenerated. Then "it feels different this time" which 5 said when he regenerated
“I might never make sense again! *I might have two heads!* Or no head! Imagine me with no head - and don't say that's an improvement”
-The 9th Doctor
9s words holding true makes me so happy 😂
@@TiredMoonRabbitI honestly didn't realise that and now I can see that 9 was NOT lying about having two heads (technically)
This brings tears to my eyes. First he was alone and now hes got his friends all around him ❤
You really don't get out much, do you? Why do you get such pleasure from seeing a fake person in a bad TV show have friends?
Fruity Gatwaaaah your new hero .
Love how Fourteen, Donna, and _the Toymaker_ did the Tennant "What? What?! WHAT?!?" thing together.
When Mel said “every one of you is fantastic”, is it just me or did the music swell up similar to when 9 regenerated, and he said to Rose “You were fantastic, absolutely fantastic, and do you know what? So was I?”
If so, it was an amazing callback to RTD’s first regeneration as showrunner.
Wow, good catch!
🌎😇✨
It absolutely had some 9 in there. Made me wish he'd come back.
It was 100% 9's regeneration theme with one tiny second of Vale Decem thrown in at the end!
It wasn't just you, I'm sure, but I missed it.
I absolutely love the contrasts between Tennant's 1st and 2nd regeneration.
In the first one, he was alone in the Tardis, having lost those closest to him, not wanting his time to be over.
In this one, he's surrounded by allies and embraced by his two closest friends as they support him through the process, while he welcomes his next incarnation with open arms.
He got that Christmas wish. 🎄 😂
Isn’t this his 3rd regeneration… ya know…. Vanity issues 🤣
@@Clutch_Shadow I mean, if we're being really specific, it's his 5th regeneration 😂 1st was Eccleston to Tennant, 2nd was Tennent to himself (with his severed hand), 3rd was Tennant to Smith, 4th was Whittaker to Tennant and 5th was Tennant and Gatwa 🤣
@@mxyzptlk80586 if you count Lenny Henry to David Tennant
@@mxyzptlk8058 and as long as they keep this as canon then he’ll have a 6th regeneration to someone else 🤣
Ncuti took half of David's clothes. David's no longer wearing shoes, and Ncuti isn't wearing pants.
We call them trousers in UK 😂 the pants here are the white tighty boxers he wearing so for us he is wearing pants.😂😂😂
That was pretty amazing to see Tennant's Doctor splitting into the Gatwa's Doctor. I do love Donna's response to this, "Do you come in wide range of colors?" But no one even notices that the new Doctor isn't wearing any trousers but his knickers and other clothing from the 14th Doctor. 🤣 It looks like we are off on a good start.
Suddenly Donna's comment to the Metacrisis Doctor "You grow like worms!" is accurate after all..
4:03
I started crying when she said this line.
*”Doesn’t matter who you are, your always fantastic.”*
Yep a reference to the 9th doctor which is my favourite doctor it brings a tear to my eyes 🥹
@@werty21100 I noticed that too. C. Eccleston will always be my favourite. Susan

@@timdlawson Eccleston is MY doctor. I like 9-12 pretty much equally, but Eccleston will be the one for me that didn't get enough seasons...brought me into Doctor Who with that first speech to Rose about the Earth turning...
@werty21100 the 9th was MY Doctor, I wish Chris would come back as 9 on the show one last time
I love that, despite The Toymaker not actually having a German Accent, he still keeps using it when he says "WHAT?"
This was such an incredible surprise to watch. Regenerations are usually so sad and tragic and I was so upset watching David Tennant's doctor start to regenerate AGAIN but then this happened and my jaw dropped. It went from sad to joyful so quick!
I just adore it! Because for years now the doctor has been running without taking the time to heal from his many many traumas and it was showing. I wanted him to rest and heal but obviously didn't want the show to end either. So this way with 14 getting to retire and heal with Donna and Mel and the friends he loved when he had this face leave 15 free for a refresh of sorts. I look at him as being further down the regeneration cycle in a way. Like he comes after 14 but because 14 presumably spends years "in rehab" and heals from all his past traumas, even though 15 regenerates now he has already undergone that healing. So he's so much lighter and happier.
Plus we get another bonus David Tennant doctor running around in the universe while still getting to experience a new actor taking on the role. Its literally having your cake and eating it too!
Totally unexpected type of regeneration. Ncuti Gatwa has a real sparkle and vibe about him. Think I’m going to like this new iteration of the Doctor.
Bigeneration not regeneration
Since I got to know Gatwa in Sex Education, I'm in LOVE with this actor. He really has a great skill set and I can't wait to see the new season with him as the Doctor
Yeah. He gives off such adventurerous spirit
This Doctor can fit so much trauma behind that smile! 😀
@@tshelby5212what? He said “type of regeneration”, why are you correcting him as if you just saw him say the wrong pronoun🤨

I miss David
@@otps8035literally came out today and you’re saying you miss him
Is the doctor's real catch phrase
That and in the trailer where he says “I’m the Doctor” to ruby
He is now officially the Doctor.
Missed opportunity for this to happen after 14th sees 15th:
14th: "Oh..."
15th: "What? What's wrong? Why do you look disappointed?... It's because I'm -"
14th: "No! No! I just.... I just thought maybe with two redheads surrounding me... my next incarnation could have been... ginger?"
15th: "... Are you saying I'm not ginger?"
14th: "...No."
15th: "Aw I wanted to be ginger!"
Probably in 15th doctor’s regeneration.
David Tenant, right in the feels every time. So thrilled he gets a happily ever after as HIS doctor. Matt Smith sure is a close second but Tenant is still the best Doctor ever.
Neil Patrick Harris is going to need another "I'm not a jerk' billboard. :) It's a great return of the Toymaker considering that he was only seen once about 700 episodes ago.
Well, at least we were spared the emotional trauma of The End of Time a second time. But I am very pleased with Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor already.
Before the episode: here we go again with the trauma
After the Regeneration: what the hell

@@ClintBanditoSo glad I avoided everything Who related before these episodes. Was great to be surprised.
Ncuti Gatwa is already fitting into the role of the doctor like he was born to do it. David Tennant gets to give his Doctor the happy ending he always deserved. Neil Patrick Harris killed it as the Toy Maker. This a fantastic celebration of 60 years of the Doctor and sets up for many more years.
The Tennant version can and will be wheeled out again make no mistake. Theyve made it so they bring out multiple doctors and chop and change the show as they see fit. The whole show has been hijacked by self righteous, right on idiots ffs.
I feel as though the 60th has been a bit of a waste and whilst it's been good to see David Tennant again as well as Catherine Tate and Bernard Cribbins (also I didn't like the audio clip that they used of his voice in this episode because the editing was quite crap) and yes Neil Patrick Harris was excellent as the Celestial Toymaker I feel as though these episodes didn't feel different to the regular episodes that we get in a regular series and it wasn't as special as the 50th and the regeneration just doesn't feel as impactful or as special anymore because now the Doctor can just be divided into two and so there's no peril or sadness anymore because we know that one version of the Doctor is just living a normal life on a different planet.
@@haj2132 The doctor only split in two because of The Toymaker wreaking havoc upon reality, that was succinctly explained near the end when they did the same with the Tardis before the laws of physics fully reasserted themselves. Remember, the Toymaker is an incredibly powerful reality warper that can go toe to toe with both timelords and gods and win (if luck favors him), the only rules he obeys is the rules of the game. So... Yeah, they explained how it could happen in the episode, and it is unlikely to happen again, so the peril is still there for 15 and beyond.
Would have been hilarious if he turned into Matt Smith again.
But why is he in his underpants?
Has there ever been a better regeneration scene in Doctor Who? What a brilliant idea to usher in the new Doctor before the end of the episode.
Can we just give NPH his flowers??? He absolutely obliterated his performance as Toymaker! Just a complete joy to watch
something i love about this scene is that the way it goes down and how the whole bi-generation works implies that from this moment on for the rest of the episode the 14th doctor is going commando
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 never thought about that. thx for the mental image 😅🎉❤
This might be one of the few times the Doctor is genuinely happy to see himself.
Matt Smith and the Flesh Doctor was one of my favourites
He really does usually tend to argue with himself doesn't he?
And also 12th doctor meet with 1st doctor in "twice upon a time"
He's done a lot of growing and maturing since the last time he overlapped.
"It's just occurred to me that this is what's it like when I'm alone."
I watched this with my wife last night. Ncuti Gatwa has a bright future ahead of him as the Doctor, as far as I'm concerned.
Think I worked out how the Doctor bi-generated. According to the novel, the 14th Doctor was only 15 hours old when he got shot, which means he was still regenerating at the time, as Time Lords take 36 hours to complete their regenerations, hence why they tend to suffer from regeneration sickness afterwards (which the Doctor has experienced multiple times before). Now, it was proven that a Time Lord can heal themselves during that time (i.e. the Tenth Doctor growing back his hand) so, when the Toymaker shot the Doctor, the intensity from the galvanic beam triggered the Doctor's body into regenerating again instinctively while his body was also instinctively healing itself due to still being in the first regeneration's 36hr cycle, which caused the 15th Doctor to regenerate inside the 14th's body and the 14th's body to heal itself around the 15th. The Doctor most likely didn't even realise all this was happening to him while he was regenerating so was surprised to see he spilt into two incarnations.
I thought if you killed a time lord within that 15 hours they were dead for good?
It's during the actual regeneration sequence I believe like when 11 died during regeneration when he was shot multiple times he actually died but river song changed the timelime and saved him from the fixed point
I absolutely adored the brother dynamic between fourteen and fifteen. Like an older brother looking at his younger brother like "pls seek therapy I love you
aww I saw the love in both their eyes
Their hug was very moving because obviously that's him hugging himself. After all he's been thru the Doctor needs a mental health -day- life to love himself. He deserves it.

@@roryaphunterIt’s something new. Reserve judgement until the end of the next season. How long did it take for Donna to become a companion? 1 year!
Yeah I don’t understand the hate for new things. It’s unbelievable the modern world.
I like how the Toymaker kind of Respected Donna and Mel after he called them Handmaidens, it’s like he bowed his head in respect.
It was an interesting nod to his bizarre morals. He wont cheat in his games but he has no issue killing people without any real reason. It added to his character a great deal, smoothly done by RTD!
Guessing his regeneration kinda changed him..
@@CelesteStClair I think it also adds to the Doctor challenging the Toymaker. If the Doctor hadnt challenged him the Toymaker could have just killed him.

@@SirDanFilmsUnltd true, forgot about that. So 10 is still canonically the youngest Doctor of all
@@mrcritical6751 tbf we don't see all the additional stuff he got up too.
We always just assume what happened on screen is all that happened. But there's also the books and the big finish audio book events and such. And for all we know some of those could be dozens of years apart during the 10th's tenure.
11 literally lost his actual family and then had to sacrifice his own happiness and his almost love for Clara. If anyone deserves to settle down, it’s him
“You’re gonna be someone else. Doesn’t matter who. Because every single one of you is fantastic.”
“Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I.”
That was my first thought too. Glad they put that word in there.
Even more subtle, but the music that plays during and after that line is reminiscent of the track 'Hologram' that played during the Ninth Doctor's regeneration
Omg how Ncuti gives me the best kind of shivers. I bet he smells like vanilla beans, oranges and cedar wood.
At this point I don't even care if it's dumb and makes no sense I'm just glad to see David's Doctor actually get the happily ever after he deserves.
Unrelated to the Bi-gen, I am obsessed with Neil’s delivery on “I played the first game with one Doctor, I played the second game with this Doctor, therefore, your own rules have decreed I play the third game with the Next Doctor”.
Brother had it coming.
why didnt neil say "challenge accepted!"? missed oppurtunity ^^
Oh, this dovetails so beautifully. The last time he had that face, he was so afraid and so convinced it was like death, but he's come so far in processing those feelings and he's finally ready and happy with a whole new perspective on the chance to begin again. It's so nice that he gets to see what happens next, like Thirteen wanted before she had to go. It's like the perfect visual metaphor for overcoming the past regeneration anxiety he's always struggled with.
I'm so gaga for Ncuti Gatwa Love his energy and he's hot. Looking Forward for this new season!!!!!!!
It's strange not hearing Mel scream at the sight of the Doctor being laser-visioned to seeming death; it seems like a scream-y situation. I know Bonnie Langford doesn't want to do that anymore, but still…
The shot at 2:41 as we go upside down, and see the two Doctors blossoming out of each other, is intoxicatingly creative. The immediate companionship between them was beautiful to behold, sheer joy.
Loved the callback to the Fifth Doctor's final words. "Feels different this time" indeed!
when I heard the 14th doctor say this I was taken by surprise i really was
And Adric!
Hearing Neal Patrick Harris say Orphan brings me back
Hello, Hello, Hello...
@@guardadavila5874 You get it
Ohhh so thats why its much more preffered if he regenerated inside the TARDIS
Cavan Scott said it best, “Change baked into the format from the very beginning, rules constantly being rewritten, canon forever in flux. It’s this show. It can’t help itself. And it’s brilliant. Here’s to the next 60 years and beyond!”
You actually think doctor who will be around for another 60 years
That’s 120 years no show has or will ever last that long
@@tshelby5212 It already managed to be the longest running sci-fi show and this show has got everything what is needed for being 'that' epic iconic show. There might be some hiatus in twenty years, but the story will never be finished.
@@channyh.221BThe song may end, but the story never will.
AN ICONIC BRITISH SHOW FROM 1963 TO 2023.
A INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED ICONIC BRITISH SHOW FROM 2023 ONWARDS. TENNANT MOVIES PLEASE.
@@tshelby5212The character is the greatest Christ figure ever written and unlike Jesus, Superman or Aslan there are no limitations with Doctor Who. Of course it can stick around for another 60 years.
Honestly I think this was quite a beautiful book ending for David’s Doctor. Not only does it give him a way to appear in the future as the Character in what ever form that takes. But it also lets his Doctor, the one who was always losing people he loved and cares for actually win, to see him finally get a family back and actually enjoy it. THE Doctor is still out there travelling the stars and fighting aliens, but for right now THIS Doctor is going to sit back, relax and enjoy life with his best friend and family.
Edit: I wouldn’t be shocked if RTD came up with the idea of Bi-Regeneration as a way of letting David remain as a staple of the Who Universe. David has been contributing to Doctor Who since before he was even cast as the Doctor with him providing audio recordings for the animated Doctor Who series with Richard E Grant back before the Revival. He has been providing his service to the franchise for 20 years. As much as this is a celebration of the show, it’s also in part a celebration of David as the Doctor. Everything he’s done and potentially will do for the show in the future.
I agree 100% I know so many are gonna hate this decision but I feel like Russell has made this decision because he wants a soft reset for doctor who.
And I’m so excited for the adventures ahead ❤
I was thinking this too. It felt like a true happy ending for David's Doctor. He finally gets the family he always wanted... The family he could stay for.
Meanwhile THE Doctor carries on running.
the special should have cleared up how exactly the process works. If there are two doctors running around now, permanently? Not great, and it's disrespectful to gatwa to have to coexist with the second most well-known doctor of all time.
there was an implication that 15 was from the future, after 14 lives out his life with the nobles. if that's what they were going for, that's much better, but should have been more apparent-maybe a line from 15 indicating that he "regenerated into his own past" or smth
Beautiful take on this. I still not sure how I felt about it, but not as terrible as I thought it would have played out. But omg I can’t wait for Ncuti now. He going to be amazing and just seeing that Christmas trailer, I think he going to be one of my faves.
It's not over. I think there will be a new Tennant series soon. They now don't need to come up with a new mechanic to bring back Tennant which interferes with the Gatwa series. I just hope it is new series a the doctor traveling around space and not some crappy sitcom with the Nobles 😅
Man got shot and gave birth on the spot
Mom did you press the B button on my wiimote again?
(If you dont get the joke pressing b while evolving in Pokemon (or regenerating In this case) cancels it
i’ve never seen a regenerated doctor be so ready to get back into the action so quick. ncuti’s gonna be so great
thats because it's not like that! That's the effing problem. They change everything they tell us just so the gay black man doesn't seem inferior...its all woke bullsh*t. if u been a fan for a long time it is REALLY easy to see.
He’s got the exact right energy for it. He’s charismatic and high-energy, but can also play small, intense emotions. He’s a brilliant actor, and I’m ecstatic to see him in the role.
I absolutely cannot wait to see his seasons.
Kkkkkkkkk
@@ghastlynavigator Wow okay. Just so you know not every Doctor had issues after regenerating. Nuwho is the one that really overdid that trope.
@@chazo1367 Aside from him looking at himself in the mirror with a double take on his new looks, Eccelston is the exception to that rule.

@@heartstriker2831yessssss
After seeing him in the last few minutes and in the trailer. I know I am going to love him.
Another BANGER BABY calm down with the insane episodes
I always wondered if I rewatched the old tennant specials so much simply out of nostalgia or because they were just brilliant. I got my answer with this special - I’m going to be rewatching this for years to come! RTD is a genius!
Wonder if it was originally in the script for it to be stated explicitly that the reason the bi-generation (there’s no such thing…a myth) happened at all, was solely because of the Toymaker’s reality bending influence.
He literally was the author of his own downfall.
I saw someone online say "The Doctor who never wanted to go, never leaves." 10 didn't want to go, but that face reappeared with 14, and now 14 doesn't have to go. Even though he made peace and was ready to go this time, it's very nice that he is able to have his break. I absolutely love that Donna makes him a part of her family. 14 referring to Rose Noble as his "favorite neice" was absolutely adorable. 😭
This was phenomenal. Love David Tennant and already love Ncuti Gatwa
That was unexpected. But a great moment.
@@user-ht1sq Hardly Whittaker's fault. The writing of her episodes were insanely underwhelming. And somehow they wrote the Doctor out of the focus of a lot of the episodes. Whacky shit
I’m looking forward to seeing how Ncuti will do in his new role. I always reserve judgement until I’ve seen the actor play the doctor for a few episodes. However from what I’ve seen so far, including the Christmas special, he seems to be doing well and I’ve enjoyed his episodes.
"You come in a range of colors?"
*immediately*"yes"
We love an inclusive doctor, especially after the LAST time the toymaker showed up 💀💀💀
It took just a few seconds for Ncuti to own the role of the Doctor, which is amazing, but to do it acting alongside David made it even more so.
@@user-fm3xr9yz3ioh god its like puzzleshipping/yugi x atem all over again /silly
edit: right down to the season 0 "i wanna play a game" shenanigans
I'm so happy they let Ncuti take the lead on that scene, he's already absolutely killing it. So glad they waited for him.
If they had done it right, there would have been no Tennant to play off of. Tennent should have been placed in the archives, LIKE EVERY OTHER DOCTOR before him. This was a bullshit move.
A passing of the torch. From Tennant to Gatwa. 💙💙
@@MatthewCYN15 Especially appropriate, given Ncuti apparently became an actor after being inspired by Tennant.
The Fifth inspired the Tenth.

"Its like poetry, it rhymes." - George Lucas
0:40 just spin-chilling the amount of sadism from the Toymaker in essentially torturing the Doctor, knowing he will regenerate, for the sake of his game. Brilliant.
Man, this was a satisfying end for David's role as the Dr!
Allonsy, Ncuti!!! I look forward to seeing his antics!
I just realized that after bigeneration, the Tennant doctor is going commando 3:36
Ncuti running around the rest of the episode with no pants is funny to me. Idk why😂
Right? I couldn’t stop controlling my laugh throw out the episode 😂
@@jaytender4949i was laughing too no pants man 😂😂😂😂😂
It's funnier when you say no pants, since this is a British show and pants means underwear here lol.
@@jaytender4949It made me laugh how nobody told him he wasn't wearing pants 😂😂
@@NefariousTropy456 yep and he ends up wearing a skirt next episode smh
It felt like the perfect full circle moment - from “I don’t wanna go” to that perfect “Allons-y”… and then this CRAZY FAKEOUT MOMENT - I was ready to say goodbye again, then we get Tennant AND Ncuti for the rest of the this adventure. And I’m definitely feeling the vibes from Ncuti. (Interesting choice leaving him in the undies)
sure dont need a pendulum swing moment ... even British comedy has it's Limits ;)
Oh my God he's an amoeba
01:19
Minor, minor quibble. But, if the galvanic beam was powerful enough to to destroy a satellite from thousands of miles away, and effectively kill the Doctor; shouldn’t it have at least scorched his clothing?
Just a little mark could have made it so much more realistic.
Ncuti is going to be a great Doctor, he is an incredible actor, David Tennant will always remain one of the best Doctors ever
yes true but no clean break does imo and others overshadow gatwa.....
Cheers to him
Dude is going to gay shit up and everything is going to be more woke as hell. Really what is wrong with you people? do you all like being shit on and smile after? Do you all hate men?
He isn't a copy he still regenerates into Ncuti in the future
This regeneration works on so many levels. There are fans of the show who grew up with it, and perhaps have waivering interest in the series. This is a great stopping point. You can choose to follow the story of Tennant's Doctor. He retired to a life of peace, with his best friend and her family, on Earth. Or you can choose to follow Ncuti's Doctor, who will go on to have many more adventures.
Either way, this is the end of an era, and the start of a new one, and hearing it end with "I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life" is such a good way to end it. This infinite Time Lord who's lived for billions of years (counting the confession dial), found his true happiness in finally resting. Perhaps he'll go on to revisit a few more old faces? Maybe curate a museum?
Hell, if we never see Tennant's Doctor again, I'll be perfectly content. This is one hell of a way to end his story.
Here's to Ncuti kicking ass and taking names.
@@repulser93 we're gonna say this then be upset when he doesn't show up for the 100th anniverssarry lol
@@DysphoricGreensI mean.. Tennant WILL be in his 90's when the 100th happens
But then again, Tom Baker was in the 50th, and he was like 80 years old at the time, so the possibility is still there
THAT MAKES SENSE! TOM BAKER'S THE CURATOR IS ACTUALLY HIM AFTER HE RETIRED!
Well I've been a fan since watching Tom Baker when I was 6 years old in 1979 and I love this, Doctor Who always finds new ways to delight and surprise me 😊
“Every single one of you, is fantastic!”
I have a feeling Mel was spending some time with 9.
That's the most stupid regeneration ever
Agreed.
This was by far the coolest way to reveal a new Doctor I’ve ever seen! It instantly made Ncuti loveable and so awesome! Loved seeing the two Doctors work together to defeat the Toymaker!
true but this regeneration has been rumored for months......
@@jonathanwhite5688 that’s cause it got leaked. Scooper culture is ruining the ability for modern audiences to enjoy anything without knowing how it ends half a year in advance.
@@jonathanwhite5688 man im glad i never heard about these leaks then
@@hrishiv27 unfortunately yes... lots of controversy and unanswered questions now......
I have a theory that David's doctor is gonna turn into the curator, now that he's still here
Honestly, I couldn't be impressed enough with The Giggle. Mad, bonkers, and bittersweet. A real game changer with satisfying results. David, Catherine, RTD, thank you for making the 60th anniversary a memorable celebration. And let's give Ncuti a huge welcome!
I don't know how I feel about the game changer aspects of it all, the long term ones, not the event itself, but the rest of the episode was great. I would have liked more menace from the Toymaker, I never felt a sense of dread (unlike last week) but I'm okay without it.

@@Aaliyahchannel2024 ^^ Must post lame, cliched, stoopid comments 🙄
@@Aaliyahchannel2024 you're the blind one mate, directing your blind hatred for something new at a show with change as one of its central concepts.
It's central concept that destroys the weight of it with no consequences. No one can stay dead, classic Disney @@Althalus2010
Ah, the new episode, "Hedging our Bets"
Honestly I like the concept of bi generation. It’s just the doctor splitting into two unique personalities. Not the bi sexual way.
This episode was honestly crazy. We've got the return of the Toymaker & the bi-regenartion. Wow. David Tennant, Neil Patrick Harris & Ncuti Gatwa were great in this scene. 🙌
Bigeneration not bi regeneration
Nph was great as the toymaker. He's usually way over the top. but he was pretty good here😂😂
This is epusode was garbage, keep coping
Ncuti gatwa looks like a gay person
And we got the Spice Girls which is never a bad thing
When Doctor Who itself can't let go of David Tennant.
But but, RTD wouldn't understand letting go cause he's a man...
Yeah, notice how the Fifteenth Doctor is the only one not confused? Why? Because he's seen this before. Just this time he's seeing it from the other perspective.
That's really amazing! I just figured out that the reason why Tennant returned. It could be because of the trauma the 10th Doctor went through with Rose, Wilf and Donna, having to leave them and erase their memories to protect them. Notice that the 15th Doctor says he finally feels like him, a fresh start. Even the 13th Doctor and others were haunted by the 10/9th Doctor's villains like The Master. Compare to other doctor where their sidekicks either passed on or parted their own ways. The tenth doctor never actually got his peace before his regeneration. That could be possibly the reason why they gave Tennant a chance to return as the 14th Doctor. Giving him a chance to reunite with old friends as seen in this special and retire with Donna. What do y'all think?
It really feels like that instead of directly regenerating into Ncuty they decided for the special that David´s Doctor (as the 14th) returns to give his character some closure and to give the character of the Doctor the long needed rehab after all the trauma they had experienced. Overall it feels like a new era of Doctor is beginning and if I´m not mistaken the first series of the 15th Doctor will be not called Series 15 but "Season 1" to also show that the show is having a new start.
Thank you!! I see people saying it's the show claiming that David is the "best doctor" while I think he's the one who had the most horrible losses ( not entirely, ofc, but I cry over his companions the most ) and needed to recover in some way. I heard Rose may be coming back?! I wonder if it'll follow in line with the comics or if we'll see something unexpected :))
*confirming he is the best
