Easily the best of the specials, that scene where Donna is just staring at that massive explosion coming towards her and is just tearing at the site of it, is just so creepy and touching. One of my new favourites of the show indeed.
It's just barely long enough that you genuinely have to ask if Donna was about to die Fakeouts like that happen all the time. The Doctor comes back at the last minute and saves the day But it was so close. So so close
Oh by an absolute MILE, the amazing mix of comedy, drama, suspense, mind bending shenanigans and sheer tension is great. Plus respectfully tying in the timeless child and flux, both respecting the audience and Chibnall. The direction is amazing too. A big problem with the last few years of Doctor Who is flat and uninteresting direction, but damn this episode is well performed, well directed, well written, well edited, the whole lot. The other two had glaring and distracting flaws but this episode was far tighter, it knew what it needed to be and was just a damn good sci fi thriller episode. Pacing was a smidge wonky at times but apart from that it's a damn fine episode of Doctor Who. Let's hope the following seasons with Ncuti follow more inline with the quality of this episode than the rest
The actress is amazing, you can really hear the panic and terror on her voice, and then you can feel her acceptance to her impending death, truly amazing work
Donna and Ten give off a big brother little sister vibe and I am all for it! Constantly picking on each other, but always having fun. Really love the dynamic they have
While he isn’t necessarily MY Doctor (that spot will always belong to 9), Tennant could play this role for the rest of his days and I’d be perfectly happy. He’s just so damn good as The Doctor.
It may not have the grand spectacle of other two specials, but it was damn good. Just because it's the 60th anniversary, doesn't mean we can't have a similar story. Some of the best stories have a minimalist approach.
It's really cool that since Not-Donna can know what both of them are thinking, she didn't just use the answer Donna would have given, but the answer that the Doctor thought Donna would have given.
There's something special about the episodes when the main actors play darker versions of themselves, from the Second Doctor and the Salamander, to the Eleventh Doctor and the Flesh Ganger or the Cyberplanner/Mr. Clever, and now the Fourteenth Doctor and the Not-Things.
Having re-watched it just today, in "The Almost People", Matt Smith played a darker form of the Eleventh Doctor as the original Doctor in that episode more so than the ganger Doctor - ganger Doctor was pretty chill. He looked a little scary before stabilising, but I'm pretty sure it was meant to be the original Doctor who grabbed Amy by the arms so hard it hurt and screamed about the flesh's torment.
I actually love that *neither* of them question the other saying their arms are too ong. Like, totally not a normal thing to say, but they're both just weird enough that they don't think twice, just shrug and think, "yeah, that makes sense"
This has quickly become one of my favorite Doctor Who stories. The scene where The Doctor and Donna are having conversations with the Not-versions of each other lives rent-free in my mind. The first time I watched, I didn't pay super close attention to them because I was fixated on the sense of unease I was getting --- but I love the way Donna imagines the lives of her family without her while the Doctor simply imagines what would come of the Tardis. I know the show has been hitting us over the head with the Doctor's crushing loneliness for years now and you'd almost think the emotional impact should diminish, but the contrast and the parallels between the Doctor and Donna's fantasies were so well done and absolutely struck me in the heart.
I find it fantastic that this episode is a big big callback to the episode Army of Ghosts! I needed to rewatch this scene just to realize that what we see in this episode is what this exact doctor was talking about and described when he talked about the void-ship! They even made it obvious with that "Vampires, Demons and Evil Spirits have to count the grains of Salt" line... What was it again? "Some might even call it hell"?
I was thinking this too! It's not a Dalek Void Ship, so it seems like there's more than one culture out there that figured out the technology. This ep gave me the same sense of dread as taking my seamoth over the edge of the map in Subnautica and looking down.
I think we can all agree this episode was extremely intense and honestly one of the scariest episodes of Doctor Who. But what gets me is yes it waw scary for donna and the doctor. But can you IMAGINE what it was like the the pilot. Imagine her in the damn void, wandering around her stationary ship bored to tears when she sees something at the far end of the long hallway. At first she thinks its just the robot or maybe shes just seeing things or has finally gone mad all on her own. She walks closer and then she realises. Something is wrong. Its her at the end of the hallway, but there are no mirrors around to make this happen. She gets closer, still confused as to why this 'reflection' doesn't move with her. She then realises something awful, its not a reflection but a being. No TWO beings that look like her. But not exactly like her. They are wrong, malformed versions of herself. And they are looking at her like food.
As a fan of the Mandela Catalogue, I love that the monster in this episode was basically the Alternates; copies of 14 and Donna with impossible body proportions, trying to scare the originals and eventually conquer Earth. Who knows, maybe the Alternates are Not-Things.
This episode is so so good and important to Doctor and Donna's personalities! The Doctor is just so human and vulnerable. Shame that when they opened up, it was to their clones. But it also showed how safe they felt with each other. It also confirmed that Donna knew the dark parts of the Doctor's memories, since the clone only copied what she knew, but she never talked about it. Which is also the flaw of the Doctor because he didn't realize it immediately. The clone forced him to open up but real Donna would never. And it's humanizing to see that he didn't see pass it. Assuming that it's because Donna knew how much it hurt the Doctor, she never forced him to talk about it like in the near end. She just wants to let him know that he's safe and he can rest in the future.
it's so tragic, 14 poured his heart out to not-donna, then realized she wasn't donna, then when all was right again and the real donna wanted him to open up to her he was back to his usual closed off self :'(
Man it's always good to David Tennant as the Doctor again, even if it was only for a little while and great to see Catherine Tate as Donna Noble again too, she is hilarious, I had the biggest crush on her back and the day, she still looks great
This is one of the more interesting episodes in the whole series. This is one of the very few times we actually see The Doctor outwardly and openly AFRAID. One of the only times we see a completely perplexed, almost powerless Doctor, no Sonic, No TARDIS, no idea what he's facing, and the possibility that he may also get Donna killed. And then made vulnerable by the duplicate Donna's mention of the Flux. My least favourite of the 3 specials, but still a marked improvement over Series 11, 12 and Flux.
I mean… the whole 14th doctor being the same actor as 10th not the most interesting thing that could have happened. I feel like David has been used a lot! But… seeing Donna welcome him home to “retire” was very sweet ❤
This is a good episode in concept, but the CGI kinda brings it down. That moment with Wilf is so heartwarming and chilling at the same time. RIP Bernard Cribbins
Well, we know that Wilf wasn't impacted. Not sure about the rest of Donna's family, but if Unit was protecting them at Donna's request, they may have given them some of those cuffs. The Doctor suggested that Tardis travel may have had to do with Donna and Wilf's immunity. Though he didn't seem very confident. Personally I don't think RTD cared much about that detail lol.
Who says Wilf wasn’t affected? He seemed pretty sure of himself that the Doctor would come back and save everyone, so sure that he camped out in that alleyway. If everybody in the world is convinced that their right, chances are there’ll be at least one person who is actually correct.
I love Matt smith as the doctor who he is the best in the world in doctor who he better than David Tennant so boring 😏in doctor who and I want Matt smith to be back because I love him ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Funnily enough we have season 40 in May and had amazing anniversary specials and a brilliant Christmas special! If your complaining about the inclusion of queer or non white or disabled actors or characters you obviously haven’t understood the show
@MovieGod12345 i think you'll find they fell off a cliff after the star beast... and if an obvious ratings stunt e.g. Tennant returning after the dummpster fire of Whiaker couldn't get a bounce, then it's time to call it a day. Gatwa is the lowest rated new dr debut ever.... fact

This is the fourteenth doctor not the tenth doctor
@@janavi3090both are played by David Tennant which is probably why they mixed it up
This was the best Doctor Who episode in ages. Simply fantastic!
David Tennant returning to the role of the Doctor is one of the best things that happened to Doctor Who franchise ever
Again. 😂
Right after Tom Baker returning.
@@christophcookit6334He means as a later incarnation or as lead.
Agree

My Doctor is also 9 but 10 is the best Doctor ever
Best episode of the specials and I'll stand by it
Yeah this one and the chrismas special were the strongest
Thats a very low bar....
The Star Beast was a weak start, and nothing in The Giggle had enough time to be done full justice, but WBY was pure gold.
Definitely
@@christophcookit6334for me Christmas special was awful compared to the anniversary, I like ncuti though

I’ll admit, the TARDIS flying out of the explosion is a epic shot.

Can anyone STILL not believe we got these episodes and these moments and that gorgeous ending? After 15 years of waiting it feels impossible.

Probably my favourite of the specials. And I like them all.
real Dr Who, by far the best Dr Who episode for ages ...
Quite jaw-dropping.
"OH MY GOD! THERE MOVING.. DAVID: I KNOW!"
The best bit for me was when the 'Not Donna' said: "We came from The Nothing..." Shudder...
are you ok

Everything's better with Wilfred.
“My arms are too long”
Oh No Bro Gonna Evolve.

Best Doctor who episode in years, if I were to recommend just one episode to someone who has never seen it I would say Wild blue yonder
An all time great episode.
Having the second special be just these two amazing actors was such a good choice. ❤

good highlights from episode 2
You can see how losing rose has affected the doctor , david tennant does a great job returning as dr who
I need more of shifty-alien David Tennant
I can't believe I missed this episode
I liked this episode.
Ah, well. Goodbye, Doctor.
I reckon this is the sequel to midnight. Both my best of Tennant
Best episode in YEARS
it's so tragic, 14 poured his heart out to not-donna, then realized she wasn't donna, then when all was right again and the real donna wanted him to open up to her he was back to his usual closed off self :'(
1:37 THAT'S NOT NORMAL!
This was almost the perfect Doctor Who episode.
I wonder if Doctor thought of Mid Night experience, When Not-Donna repeated herself.
He Definitly did. I wouldnt be surprised that he had ptsd from it
''My arms are too long''.... Creepy!
My arms are too long, once I sort out the arms... etc, the Doctor using the Tardis like Marty MacFly's hover board, ( Mavity, from now on? ). 😆
Also when I watched blue yonder it was horror like it nearly ruined my childhood with the message my arms are to long and they went giant 1:31
It was a solid episode
I like Wild Blue Yonder
Man it's always good to David Tennant as the Doctor again, even if it was only for a little while and great to see Catherine Tate as Donna Noble again too, she is hilarious, I had the biggest crush on her back and the day, she still looks great

This is a good episode in concept, but the CGI kinda brings it down. That moment with Wilf is so heartwarming and chilling at the same time. RIP Bernard Cribbins
It's sort of in Doctor Who's charm to have bad/lacklustre SFX, like it's noticeable but it brings an innocence that makes it forgiveable
You can probably post the entire episode to be honest
It's me or Catherine Tate has double fangs?
Oh I hope I become it too see in Belgium
I can't remember. Why weren't Wilf and Donna's family effected by the Giggle?
Well, we know that Wilf wasn't impacted. Not sure about the rest of Donna's family, but if Unit was protecting them at Donna's request, they may have given them some of those cuffs. The Doctor suggested that Tardis travel may have had to do with Donna and Wilf's immunity. Though he didn't seem very confident.

@EditedAF987 Oh, that's actually a really good theory. What if Wilf was affected by the giggle, his belief just happened to be correct?
