"I want to see you become like me. Hail the Doctor! The Great Exterminator!"
For the story that changed my life, can we get some comments, likes and shares to appease the almighty algorithm?!
14:31 bruh the rivalry between daleks and cybermen started in the 60s (kinda) when someone proposed a scriped idea: daleks V.S. cybermen with the doctor and crew right in the middle of it.... man i hope big finnish take this idea and flesh it out and create what was replaced by The Classic: The Moonbase
The Parting of the Gays.
Hey MrTARDISreviews, are you going to do a review of the Mission To The Unknown recreation by the University of Lancashire, I loved that vid, and also, Do you believe that there could be a SECOND DALEK CIVIL WAR (when the Classic Series Daleks are actually good Daleks, but the New Series Daleks are wanting the Classic Series Daleks to be hateful and be a regular dalek, like good vs bad, and the 1965/66 Movie Daleks side with the "Good Daleks", in series 12 or even series 13 in the future?
MrTARDISreviews It's as if Russell Davies and Joe Ahearne thought "what if Videodrome turns people into Daleks?" Too bad they didn't have a "long live the new flesh" one liner.
The only thing more amazing than having the "Anne-droid" joke, was the fact that they actually got the real Anne Robinson to voice it!
I love how genuinely confused the Daleks were when the Doctor said no. Seems like they were too used to the old days and didn’t expect such a reaction.
To be fair, the Daleks present either hadn't encountered the Doctor since the Time War or hadn't encountered him before period.
Bumblebee-127 yeah true, the only ones i could see having a true reaction would be the Emperor and I’m guessing his guards, because i believe those 4 would be the only other pure kaled mutants besides the Emperor
I’ve always loved the “I’m coming to get you” Big Brother reference as the last line of Bad Wolf. It tops and tails the episode with a BB reference.
''I never noticed that''
Damn. I was 30 when this aired.. and yet the child inside me was loving every minute of it. It's a fantastic story and a great send off for the 9th Doctor. I remember being disappointed that this meant we were only going to get one season of him... Supporting cast were great. Capt Jack was such a cool character and I'm glad he returned multiple times... The Daleks though were the standout for me. Just so menacing... so evil. Everything that Daleks should be. The new series Daleks for me are the perfect Dalek design. everything about them just works... It's like they looked at the Daleks over the history of the show and cherry picked all the best bits and came up with the ultimate design... Love, love, love it...
Agreed. I love the silver/blue original designs and their eerie, otherworldly designs, I enjoy the gunmetal grey Daleks of the 70's and 80's with their freaky pupil-eyes, and I even love the Progenitor Daleks of Series 5 with their added height and bulk and slightly organic look (particularly in the eyestalks), but I feel the bronze Daleks are the most timeless. They retain the basic Dalek shape and design elements, but the level of detail with all the rivets and screws really sells the idea that these are impenetrable, unstoppable tanks built for war.
‘Have a good life. Do that for me Rose, Have a fantastic life!’
Christopher.. You will be missed as a underrated Doctor. ;)
16:02 when Christopher Ecclestone smiles it’s fantastic!
Sometimes I like to imagine what it must've been like to be a kid in 2005, watching series 1 as it aired, and having no knowledge of what came before because the internet wasn't as omnipresent. You're slowly introduced to this character and the lore of this universe, through the eyes of an ordinary girl... and then he dies. Don't worry, he gets better. _Will this happen at the end of every series?_ I might have wondered in an alternate timeline.
(I can't remember what the first episode of Doctor Who I watched was, but it almost certainly starred Ten. I was still watching Cbeebies in 2005.)
I was watching my dad's old Classic Series VHS tapes and DVDs before Doctor Who came back. When it did, I was excited, especially when the Dalek appeared in the next-time trailer. I did manage to miss The Parting of the Ways except for the regeneration, which was disappointing because when I was little, the Ninth Doctor was my favorite.
Lemme tell you, it was bloody awesome.
13:25 Holy shit, that brings back memories
Easily the best series finale of the modern era besides The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang and World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls.
I actually think it's better than them, mainly because it's villains are actually competent.
Agreed. Those two others don't have the same kind of massive deus ex machina this one (and all the RTD finales except possibly End of Time) had. What those two Moffat finales do both have is a companion remembering the Doctor when all is basically lost for the Doctor and saving him. Which isn't too far different though. But in two out of three cases (high stakes indeed) the Doctor himself will be lost, while in the third a whole universe is reset.
@@meropetied I guess you could argue that Puddle Girl showing up is a bit deus ex machina but it was at least set up a bit earlier in the season and was probably gonna need a payoff of some kind.
@@defrostedrobot77 I mean... Heather's return is just as much magical fairytale material as the Bad Wolf is, but way less consistently foreshadowed. But yeah, it was planted nicely right there, in that tear, all we needed, at the end of The Pilot. But it's just marvelous too. Still it's definitely my favorite season finale in Who since maybe Logopolis or Greatest Show in the Galaxy. But The Parting of the Ways set the standard for how to do Who post-Buffy. It's an amazingly good finale. The whole season is made better by it.
@@meropetied I think all finales are at least above a 7/10 for Doctor Who, aside from Series 11, what the heck was that.
If we had a pint to talk over and not a comments column I would argue that there are indeed other quite coherent character arcs for Doctors (Hurt, Capaldi, a long convo about Tennant probably, and also indeed both Hartnell and Davison) in TV Who. But certainly being just one really good season Eccleston rated one of the clearest and best.
Great work on all these Dalekcember videos. I just recently rewatched this story and season. Hoo yes, the second half-- After Dalek -- really stands up incredibly still.
This is my favourite finale from the modern series. The stakes are high, the doctor is pretty much defeated and nearly everyone dies. As much I love the Season 10 finale, the doctor falls dosnt have the cybermen have a main focus
World enough and time/the doctor falls kind of got that huge level of floors spaceship idea going on. It might have taken a bit of inspiration from the game station and parting of the ways
"The bodies were filleted, pulped, sifted, sauteed, blended, grated, grilled, fried, simmered on a medium heat for 40 minutes until golden-brown."
"The Doctor has finally been exterminated, now we can... why do I hear the TARDIS?"
7:10 thank you so much for adding thesis part 😂😂😂
Such a good story and final story for Eccleston to go out on. My only personal gripe for me was I would've loved to see Simon Pegg as the Editor return. Whilst I prefer The Pandorica/Bang slightly this is still my second favourite finale of the revival. Doctor Falls owes a lot to this one.
Massively agreed. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang is my personal favorite Doctor Who story of all time, but Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways is on my top ten list. Well, either it or Dalek.
@@DalekTheSupreme Both are very very different takes on a finale but both are spectacular. Davies and Moffat both did wonderful first finales and it's a shame Chibnall's couldn't stick the landing but fingers crossed for next year. We know he CAN do good finales if you've seen Torchwood Series 2.
The Daleks are my favourite villians and Parting Of the Ways helps prove it as they are unstoppable killing machine if someone where they should start watching Doctor Who I would say Series 1 because introduced and reintroduced a lot of elements that would become important in New Who Including The Doctor, The Tardis, Rose, Regeneration and the Daleks
My favourite episode ever. I'll never forget your first review of this years ago, someone else who appreciates this masterpiece as much as me :)
10:48 Cue ‘Eastenders’ theme song gag already used in his review of The Parting of the Ways.
Also, a detail that I personally love is the introduction of the Daleks twitching. It really reminds us that they're mutant octopus-jellyfish inside tanks.
If you watched Dr Who as a kid and watch back now it's a trip to see these companions basically so young.
I wish I could remember the moment I watched this story as clearly as you. It's lovely you have such a strong association with it, especially considering how it's stood the test of time. Great work!
The ending of Bad Wolf still gives me chills. The Absolam Daak-esque line of "Im going to wipe every stinking Dalek out of the skies" is amazing. Christopher Ecclestone is an amazing actor and its criminal he has not done any Big Finish yet
I read that comic.. it was awesome
The thing I found most intresting about this season was that the daleks were not quite full daleks and that "spur" died off.
12:29 "This one has more of a personality" combined with the zoom in on his blank angry expression made me laugh.
THAT AUDIO BIT FROM ECCLESTON'S INSTAGRAM VIDEO DESTROYED ME
Between 1989 and 2005 is 16 years. Meaning in 2021, we'll be as far away from 2005 Doctor Who as 1989 viewers were to 2005 Doctor Who.
Next Time: The idea of Daleks & Cybermen fighting each other goes ‘WWAAYY’ back in the late 60’s now comes to life in 2006, Also the sad passing of Peter Hawkins by the time ‘Doomsday’ was about to be aired.
It was a concept for The Wheel In Space, but Terry Nation vetoed the idea.
Robert McGhin Yeah I know that, I was gonna mention that in the next video.
God, I bloody love Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways. Definitely my favourite Doctor Who story of all time, without the shadow of a doubt.
This remains one of my favourite stories to this day. I still get chills the moment the Bad Wolf cliffhanger begins.
YES! The best series finale ever, the best series ever!
I remember classic who as a kid, from around Warriors of the Deep onwards to Survival. I remember thinking the show will never come back. And then it did. And it didn't disappoint. Season 1 had the two best Dalek stories ever, my favourite Dr Who story ever (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances) and my favourite Doctor in the 'fantastic' Chris Eccleston. I look back on that era with so much love. For me, those two Dalek stories and The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances have Midnight and Blink as company in my top five stories. Little else comes close.
Thank you for this great video. It was fantastic!
Great episode when it first premiered here in the states the Sci-Fi Channel (back when it was still called/spelled as this) they made this its own event by having a mega marathon all day leading up to the episode after this. This is also the first tv episode i ever purchased on VUDU And watch it still. Great Reviews Trillbee!!!!
Such a lovely video , hearing your love for this episode was great hugs take care :)
I just rewatched this the other day as part of my who-a-thon in the lead up to series 12 and while the whole gameshow element to Bad Wolf may be outdated by today's standards the build up to the finale is perfect, easily making it one of the best finales.
But now its time to move on to the era of 10 Allonsy!
Have a fantastic life. 😭
I love the regeneration here, the Ninth Doctor went out with smile, and the Tenth....I don't wanna go!, yeahhhh, I can understand why he said it but,, still gives me douche chills.
I remember the good old days when we had to wait years to get this review.
On a serious note, really enjoying Dalek-Cember! All the new points you bring up on the re-review are great! Can't wait for the rest.
Just want to say Great video as always Will! Love seeing you back to dive deep into Doctor Who Reviews! Just a question, for Series 12, can we expect you to upload your reaction/afterthoughts videos like you have with previous seasons?
13:26 Holy hell, you just sent me way back to my earliest days on CZcams.
Does that original video still exist or did you recreate it?
Apparently originally one of the game’s originally consisted of in a celebrity as well involving a mara cameo
13:30, Oh man he brought up that joke again. 😂
Hmm, I also was 13 when my Doctor *Matt Smith* left...What a coincidence!!!
I watched this when it was first broadcast here in 2005. It, along with a few other masterful series 1 episodes made me a permanent fan of Doctor Who. I rewatched this just a few days ago with my 5 year old and they were captivated from start to finish. It was brilliant seeing the show through a fresh perspective.
13:26 I AM THE GOD OF ALL DALEKS! AND I BEING YOU FIRE!
It's as though Russell Davies and Joe Ahearne thought "What if Videodrome turns people into Daleks?" Too bad that they didn't have a "long live the new flesh" moment.
So I never really got into the first series of New Who. I watched Rose, got freaked out by the Autons and went to bed. I'm happy that series 1 was your series I really am. But everything you said about POTW I can apply to my Dalek story. Doomsday. Damn I'm excited to hear you cover that. That was the episode that got me aboard the TARDIS now and forever.
That cliffhanger...I always get chills. Every. Single. Time. I. Watch. It.
Probably my favorite Dalek story right in front of Genesis and Invasion of Earth.
9:50 when he turns his head... honestly makes me cry
A superb example of how you do a series finale!
4:10. I strongly disagree! That floor shot cliffhanger was so much better!
The reaction to the ending of Bad Wolf is Holy Hell!
8:21 when the Karens all arrive at your work
i wonder if we’ll ever see Emergency Program 2. I genuinely think when character options gets to this episode with the History Of The Daleks sets they should do a big one, the Emperor, his dalek guard and a fire arm dalek but made correctly
These two are one of my favriote 9th doctor epsiodes
Best dalek serial of the revival no doubts hands down lol
8:16 gave me nightmares for so long.... I was truely terrified of the daleks as a kid
I was 5 Years old When I first sore this to this day its still a brilliant action packed story.
I can't be the only one who thought the Emperor Dalek tease was actually going to be Davros.
This was the first ever Doctor Who story I watched - its no wonder I came back for more. And even in my late 20's I found the Daleks terrifying.
‘Captain jack is a lot of fun’ 😟
I honestly believe that the Dalek Emperor in this story is a clone of Davros. Everything about his characterisation seems to line up. It would also make sense with Davros character arc in the Big Finish stories. Either Davros in the New Series is a clone of the Emperor, or the other way around.
One thing I'm not particularly fond of this episode doing was establishing the RTD era trend of "normal life is boring and not worth living" and that companions need the Doctor to live a fulfulling life. I very much like how 11 and 13's episodes show us that regular, normal life can be just as adventurous and full of wonder as all of space and time.
I love the parting of ways it is my favourite favourite ninth doctor daleks story
13:30 Aha! Vintage memes
OMG XD I always think of this meme whenever watching this scene, it's more funny than it should be 🤣🤣.
Mr Mont It was actually the first time I ever heard that song.
Please do this for the cyber men too
Love how they show the black domed Daleks to foreshadow the Emperor
I was only 3 when this was broadcast but I can vividly remember being terrified at Lydia's death
10:10 I started crying too
the Anne Droid was pretty funny in the fight against the daleks saying "you are the weakest link goodbye" then transmits 3 daleks back to the dalek fleet.
It was very, very good how the "Bad Wolf" theme was so carefully woven into the series - I didn't notice until near the end of the series... unfortunately, this "theme" idea was copied for several series in the future, and it became a bit, well boring/predictable - and each series tried to outdo the series before.
But I really liked this show - and was saddened that Christopher Eccleston was leaving the show.
Thanks for the review!
The doctor lives up to his name.
Lol.
amazing review:)) been re-watching season one recently with someone i’m introducing it to, and it’s actually so much better than i remember. possibly one of my favourites now
Emergency protocol still gives me goose bumps
A lot of dalek episodes in Nu who are references to classic who dalek episode
Always loved this one.
That android is a total badass.
My word, why is there so many emotional scenes in this episode ;(
Best finale of the series, except possibly the doctor falls.
‘I hope the planet turns round....and shits on you’
- The 9th Doctor
I actually didn't see this episode when it first came out. I think I recall seeing Bad Wolf and being hyped for the Daleks returning in full force, but when it came time for this episode, I woke up later at night just in time to catch only the Doctor's regeneration. I was eight at the time, so I took him at his word when he said "I sang a song and the Daleks ran away!"
In any case, I feel like Dalek and The Parting of the Ways are equally brilliant in their use of the Daleks, just in different ways. Dalek manages to humanize one while still making sure the audience knows it is evil and it must be stopped because it _will_ kill everyone on the planet, and The Parting of the Ways sees them as a frighteningly dangerous army that devastates earth and annihilates the entire supporting cast of the episode that preceded it with a brilliantly written leader. They update the fascist parallels of the Daleks, with Dalek pointing out that people who enable Nazis are just as bad and just as responsible for all the harm they do as actual Nazis, and The Parting of the Ways demonstrating the cult-like devotion to a corrupted religous philosophy that alt-right causes possess, with both cleverly portraying the inherent self-loathing that results from fascist ideologies. It's a tough call which one is better, sometimes I feel it's Dalek, sometimes I lean more towards The Parting of the Ways, but I consider both the best of Dalek stories in the New Series.
9 is so good
Speaking of Love Island, Caroline Flack just died.
I am viewer number 93
Calling it now: the comments of your Army of Ghosts/Doomsday review will be full of references to The Bitch Fight of Canary Wharf.
10:28 I’ve always found these scene to be a bit overblown in the episode, but the parting of the ways is a fantastic episode. I watched series 1 again recently and it was easily my 2nd favourite (after dalek). Something about the the time vortex scene with rose is just so powerful and well directed but I can’t put my finger on it
Best conclusion for 6 year old me
Holy shit, 5 June 2005 was near your 13th birthday? Bing Bang on June 26th 2010 was my 14th haha
viewer no. 100 here.
Here's the origin of that Dalek Emperor joke.

Darkest story ever!
I would say that Ecclestons doctor choosing coward instead of killer, is way better than that idiot with a box crap. It respects him and his abilities as a character. I feel like after series 4 we started to lose a lot of the heart the show had. I hope we get it back. Cause while world enough time was touching it is then ruined by the Christmas special after.
7:01 name please
Wouldn't be Dr who without popcorn and snacks 👌
Not going to lie, I wish doctor who would be as dark as it was then.
Where does the line "I hope the earth shits on you" come from? That's definitely Eccleston's voice isn't it? 🤔🤔
His angry Instagram post from mid-2019 😂 look up "Christopher Eccleston Heaton Park" on CZcams
I'm not gonna lie, I never liked Rose, so I never cried at the end of season 1, 2 and 4
