Damn, a way to make both Human Nature's canon.
Without even explaining how.
My theories have now been thrown out of the window again because of this!
But...Human Nature was always canon
@@lord_egg There's a seventh doctor book Human Nature with Bernice as a companion. So 2 Human Nature stories
@@ishaandw oh
Thanks for clearing that up
Maybe it just happened to twice and there's two-family a Bloods like how there's five of Dracula's
More from Doctor Who: Lockdown, its like a series is airing!
Sighs I hope they make DVDs outta this when lockdown done this series feels like it should be preserved.
@@eternallylearning2811 They might well do something like this. I'm still sad some of those short comic stories from 2000s arent on website anymore.
We're being spoilt now with all this new content, this truly is a fandom like no other.
Yes great we get to hear about the sexual preferences of all our old favourites. Whoopiedoo.
Yet it's still dead
@@BernardJKD wtf are you even talking about :/
Broken like no other?
"this truly is a fandom like no other" we're doctor who fans ok not some collective. No need to try and wax lyrical about it (imo) it's cringe and quite irritating.
For those confused Bernice Summerfield is a companion to the seventh doctor and sorta the eighth doctor who appears in several books and audios Human nature was adapted from a book that featured her which i guess now happened in a different reality
Forever Done Hopefully series 11 & 12 are in the alternate reality
@@autumnmatthews3179 Everything is in a different reality.
@Najawin The adventure happened to both 7 and 10 . Half human was a lie that both 6,7 and 8 have dismissed now . And Looms are indeed a thing simply because its from the civil war from Phyria and Timelords had no way of reproducing for a number of generations (some Houses kept them ) .
@Najawin because 6,7 and 8 all declare it a lie in separate Big Finish audios. It would also from a narrative view point be awful. Even if Gallifraians weren't 16 billion years old as a race (humans 3 million). We know the Doctor is part something else likley Eternal or other ancient race. Timelords would not lower themselves to interbreed (their that arrogant and vile).
@Najawin Rule 1 The Doctor lies . The Doctor is not nor has ever been half human ? It is an always was a lie s/he told .
No Looms work on any being who enters it and their genetic structure is simply respliced . Indeed , also The Clockwork , The Sisterhood of Khan , The Bloogans and Non Timelords . But none of them ARE TIMELORDS , Timelords do not nor will they interbreed or allow them into early Time-lord society . The Doctor has , but never had children , except with Lady Patience .
The fury of a time-lord.
"Are you sorry?"
Also can't Rachel Stott just draw the damned prettiest
Feel like this is his human half
Lol just realised the doctor can't be half-human cause they don't know their parents. Not even a time-lord now
@@banterbanter1547 It's too confusing since the final episode of Series 12.
@@banterbanter1547 The Doctor IS a Time Lord.
All these Doctor Who Lockdown minisodes have been amazing. 100000% canon imo. Thats how good they are.
There is no canon in Doctor Who... but yes
Barney Channel a general rule I use is that everything is canon unless it contradicts the TV shows. Ofc the TV shows make continuity errors too but then I just think, wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
Of course there's canon in Doctor Who. The last series went to great lengths to retcon much of it away but the enduring appeal of these stories prevails.
@Najawin Except for the Adventure Games and Sil.
In the Season 23 Blu-ray boxset, in the booklet, it said that Sil was a good addition to canon.
@Najawin I see what you mean, but it's still fun to go around saying that Sil has been referred to as "canon" when other things haven't.
so thankful for the doctor who lockdown content
As are many others.
And many more could be if not for poisoning it with 13/Chibnall content
For those of us these things are a further nuisance, doing their best to continue to spoil the history of Who
The red haired one who thought he was the last!?
tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Doctor_(Battlefield)
Finally ginger.
The Merlin Doctor
Summerfield!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting 😏
Glad to hear the "last" incarnation is finally ginger
Muldwych?
Merlin?
Could the red hair one be Brendan before his mind was wiped?
Maybe that's why the doctor wants to be ginger, cause that is the last incarnation?
@@CJT3X Do you think Brendan could be the doctor? When it comes to the timeless child the "mind wipe" worries me that the child had some knowledge they had not shared and now does not remember. What if the child is an immortal or even a grey guardian.
Professor Bernice “Benny” Summerfield, archeologist, friend of the Doctor and one of his wife’s professors
Did they say that in a River Big Finish? Or am I forgetting something from the show? Been meaning to listen to some more Big Finish before Time Lord Victorious :)
@@Char10tti3 They say that in Lies in Ruin which is part 1 of The Legacy of Time, Big Finish's big special for their 20th anniversary last year. Benny and River meet, but not for the first time :P It's also referenced in R&J, the new Lives of Captain Jack story with River and Jack.
"He was the worst.... the one I travelled with, he was the worst too". I’m getting Marvin the Paranoid Android vibes.
Nice little tie-in with both novel and TV show. I love it when things like this happen. Making both not just equally as valid, but also play together nicely. Well done Paul.
Is this Bernice Summerfield? I know Paul wrote Bernice, and they say she's his best work.
Indeed, indeed!
Yes indeed, voiced by Lisa Bowerman who plays her in all the Benny audio plays and audio books, and who has directed many Big Finish audio dramas. She was also played a character in "Survival," the last TV adventure of the original DOCTOR WHO program.
You MUST listen to her BF stories. Honestly, the best thing ever. “The lights of Skaro” is brilliant, I’d recommend going back to the beginning of Bernice’s stories and work your way forward. Seriously, you’ll be so, so glad you did. Pure Doctor who through and through.
Prequel to the best 2 parter ever? The noise I made was unique
Sequel AND a prequel.
The references to the events having occurred multiple times and all that, are those references to the original Human Nature novel?
Yes
Pretty sure, yes. And he's implying there's way more versions which we haven't seen.
@@aristidetwain9117 I want to know about those other versions, as someone who already loves the existing two
@@vdesatch6273 I think its referring to Human Nature the novel, Human Nature the episode, and possibly the audiodrama Master, where the Master had his own timelord nature removed. Not entirely sure though
This is good. Considering there is no Doctor Who on at the moment it’s lovely to have something like this to keep us all entertained. Well done.
Bernice Summerfield for Series 13!!!! Seriously Lisa is amazing everywhere
Paul Cornell for Season 13! Or Doctor 14, whatever.
Never!
Please no!
I read that as Cornell as the 14th Doctor 😂 I mean if Hinchcliffe can
He'll probably block half the fandom from seeing the show lol
@@andrewsmart4491 True. Ahahahaha!
Oh my. Chilling. Exciting. I’m looking forward to the tweetalong tonight! ❤️✌🏼
Doctor Who needs some Paul Cornell again
These minisodes are awesome, I hope the lockdown will never end
I love how you linked this to the original novel :) Bernice!
Just been listening to the story way before the watchalong, love that the show can have all of this exist at once.
I always wanted The Family to come back at some point
Waw that's so cool to see a character from Tennant's episode ! I just love that episode, really
so who are all the doctors mentioned?
often she: 13
Old one with all the hair: 12
The one Benny travelled with: 7, who I guess knows about daughter of mine even though she got locked away way later, by 10.
thin white aristocrat: ?
the one who couldn't walk: ?
the one with red hair who thought he was the last: I guess 11, since he thought he was the last, but red hair though, do they mean amy?
The orignal human nature novel was with 7.
@@Jamesi03 yeah I know, however benny clearly states it is not the same girl that she was hunted by
Doctors that have yet to be.
The red haired Doctor is a future incarnation of the Doctor, hinted at through Battlefield. He's quite possibly Merlin.
The thin white aristocrat could be the Third Doctor.
Allons-y! Could not wait for it.
More Doctor Who Awesomeness. Amazing
I really do wish Paul Cornell can write more for doctor who this is what the series has been lacking recently. I hope he returns to write more for doctor who in the future
i love this you read that wonderfully
Keep them coming!
Omg... Bernice, the mirror and the Girl with the Balloon...
Poor Lucy Cartridge who has been consumed by the Family of Blood.
Odd and unfortunate that the follow-up story to this, SHADOW IN THE MIRROR, has had its comments locked. I'm guessing cosmic jerks spoiled the fun by posting inappropriate griping about whatever they don't like about the Thirteenth Doctor. Sad, sad little gremlins, those people.
Love the nod to 13. Nicely done.
Magnificent short story!
Is this meant to canonise both versions of Human Nature?
Yup!
But it's destroyed my fan theories now...
More that it’s meant to break the notion that there is a “canon” in Doctor Who at all.
It’s all canon. None of it is canon.
^THIS guy gets it. Both versions have always been canon. Everything officially liscenced (and some things which aren't) are canon. Time travel and rewriting history allows for it all to be canon
The REAL question is this: Is the comic "The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who" canon to the real world we live in?
Amazing. Better get Paul Cornell as the next showrunner. This guy knows how to write.
Paul Cornell would be to good to be true he’s been such a back bone for Doctor Who and he truly loves the lore of expanded universe
@@jmann6130 what we really need is a circle of writers that know the lore of Doctor Who who can collectively make an arc for an incarnation of the Doctor instead of just getting random writers in. Paul Cornell would make a good choice.
That was BRILLIANT!!!! :D
Great epilogue to Human Nature.
Amazing !
I'm so confused. Are these previous versions of The Doctor, versions he forgot because he's The Timeless Child, or is it future incarnations who keep coming back? The latter seems more likely, of course.
They have to be post-Seventh Doctor at the very least.
@@Toby_Price I thought "whire-haired aristocrat" sounded like the First Doctor, though?
@@sachamarten1544 Although the description does sound vaguely like the First Doctor, it doesn't make sense he'd know about Daughter of Mine before his Seventh Incarnation.
As the Curator said, he liked to go back and visit a few of his old favourite faces, so perhaps he took on the First Doctor's face again.
@Toby Price Or perhaps there’s another version of “Human Nature” featuring the Hartnell Doctor, falling in love with a truly matronly version of Joan Redfern. Played by Margaret Rutherford, or someone of that ilk.
The "one who couldn't walk" is likely a reference to the Rose novelisation, where Clive has a series of photos of possible Doctors, including one in a wheelchair.
The "one with red hair who thought he was the last" is a future version of the Doctor who's actually appeared in quite a few stories over the years, most notably the Battlefield novelisation and a couple of Virgin New Adventures books in the '90s. He often goes by the names of Merlin or Muldwych.
No idea about the "thin white aristocrat" though. Could be the First Doctor, but that doesn't make a lot of sense timeline-wise.
This is so cool! Benny!
Bernice Summerfield in mainstream Doctor Who? These Lockdown mini-sodes are having more "canon" nods than the show itself!
BENNY BENNY BENNY OH MY GODS SHE'S HERE
Aphasia's balloon thing was honestly pretty terrifying. Suffocated by a sentient, fleshy... thing. Eugh.
So does this means that when the doctor finally become red haired, it will be his last regeneration?
No, because he only thought he was the last.
Say what you like about The Timeless Children (and I do... loudly), it's nice that you can now have both versions of Human Nature and, by extension, stories like Jubilee and Dalek, What I Did on My Christmas Holiday by Sally Sparrow and Blink, Spare Parts and Rise of the Cybermen, the many iterations of Shada, etc, etc all happening in the same universe. We can all sleep now.
Spare Parts and Rise of the Cybermen could easily both take place anyway as Rise of the Cybermen is in a parallel universe, remember but I still undertsand what you're getting at.
@@BenNightHound spare parts rise of the Cybermen in World enough and time can all coexist that was a treat given to us in the doctor falls of Cyberman being space crabs with coevolution
Mannnn, I hate being *that guy* but I'm honestly enjoying these ingenious, tightly scripted shorts more than I did Series 12.
Then don't be that guy.
Hey again!
Paul should do another script for Doctor Who. I believe he did the novelisation of my least favourite episode of Who and made it better than bearable.
Why have comments been disabled on the other video
Can't be a coincidence that RTD and Paul Cornell has now mentioned a Doctor in a wheelchair. And with the new TARDIS interior being wheelchair friendly for Wilf, this "headcanon" could become real.
Does anyone know if production on the holiday special was affected? Because it’s super kind that a show that was on hiatus anyway to produce this.
I think they finished filming late last year, so we're still going to get a special either on Christmas Day or New Year's Day
Lewis Gennery They were so vague as to what “Holiday season” meant, I was kind of hoping it would be a Diwali special. Subvert expectations, celebrate Yaz a little bit. From my perspective, I’ve never known anyone who celebrates Epiphany or the other end of Christmas. It’s certainly not as big as regular Christmas, so to me, the holiday season ends ON New Year’s Day. Like handing in a project just ahead of the deadline
They finished filming that a long while ago but series 13 i think is definitely gonna be affected
@@DigiRangerScott I think Diwali is a Hindu festival, but Yaz is Muslim. Maybe we'll get a special for Eid (23rd May)!
John Hudson Right right. My mistake. May 23 is a little too soon though. Has to be somewhere between November and January 1
I wish this video had subtitles or a script. i cant understand and there are people who cant hear
What did the girl do to Benny? I haven’t been able to read or listen to all Bernice’s stories, so I can get a bit lost sometimes. I do adore her though.
Benny and the Seventh Doctor were hunted by them in the original novel.
Thomas White smashing! Thank you.
What is the Timeless Doctors version of Human Nature like?
It baffles me Paul Cornell still isn’t show runner despite his talent for story structure
Yeah, no it's just stupid nonsense
@@TheRealUnkn0wn_289 so do you like the idea?
Why is the comments on the other one turned off?
What is the First Doctor version of Human Nature like?
Bernice Summerfield casually making conflicting stories canon with each other
I'm Soooooo Confuse Now?
Better than the other short story by Cornell when 13 releases the unrepentant monster to the world. She will never repent though so should never be released, they wanted immortality, and he gave it to them.
What a way to miss the point of the other short story.
@@rboyd3409 how have I missed the point ? please explain
@@andrewsmart4491 The whole point is that it doesn’t matter whether she repents or not, the point is that 13 chooses to give kindness onto someone who doesn’t deserve it, that in life you’re given a choice whether to increase or decrease someone’s happiness, thirteen insures that the girl isn’t able to hurt anyone else, and thirteen chooses to give happiness.
@@rboyd3409 just going to leave this here ,czcams.com/video/O477w7DSBSM/video.html
@@andrewsmart4491 wow, even after I explain the point it still wooshes over your head, enjoy your fanfiction loser
This and the sequel are so good! ❤❤
This is great but can someone tell
Me who this is
Professor Bernice Summerfield also known as Benny. She was created by Paul Cornell. She travelled with the 7th Doctor and briefly the 8th Doctor in the Virgin New Adventures books. She later went on to have her own audio range done by Big Finish Productions played by Lisa Bowerman who plays her in this story. In the audios she would meet the 8th Doctor a few more times as well as the 7th Doctor and currently travels with a version of the Doctor from another universe.
David Blyth wait what?
WHERE'S MY BENNY?!?!
THE RED HAIRED DOCTOR (who thought he was the last)?! he becomes ginger
Is it not supposed to be once a year he visited
Yea it is "the Doctor would visit her once a year, every year"
But from whose perspective? For the Doctor it may very well have been once a year for him but once a month for the girl.
@@Jamesi03 she says every month in this video
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.
I think this is referring to "Human Nature" the Seventh Doctor novel that the Tenth Doctor episode was based off of: tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Human_Nature_(novel)
A doctor that can't walk are we going to get a wheelchair bound Time Lord representation at last lol mind you if the Daleks can manage stairs now it shouldn't be that much disadvantage
That's from RTD'S rose novel...
@@lautaromedina9056 the disabled Time Lord?
@@wheelyjon yes RTD described them as "a small child rose couldn't tell their gender,they were sitting in a floating wheelchair"
Does that mean they've confirmed Bernice is actually canon for TV
Oh yeah, I guess so :)
Benny was in a book already with the 12th doctor called Big Bang generation so she is still in the loop with new who surprised the show never makes reference to any of her activities since she’s a published Professor of archeology tho the Braxiatel Collection (her longest place of work) was mentioned once by Romana so she cannon by default
Loving these.
But why 480p.
Because Twitter compression happened...
Didn't he visit once a year on her birthday not once a month?
who's the 1 with the red hair
Merlin
lol
BERNICE!!!!!
Me Likey
Bernice Summerfield? I'm lost and I'm sad.
Bernice is a companion of the seventh doctor and sorta eigth doctor who appears in several books and audios
Human nature was a live action version of a book featuring her which is why she knows so much i guess there saying her version happend in another reality
@@troy9330 thank you thank you
Does this mean Bernice Summerfield is a modern character in New Who?
Well, she's as canon as Anthony Williams now! Hurrah!
@@Toby_Price Hurray! :D
@David Blyth But then the canonicity of the books is debatable.
Toby Price honestly for me if it’s got the Doctor Who logo then it’s canon
@@pindeepsheep7856 I'd love to see how that all works out in your mind haha
Is it just me or is Bernice Summerfield the only companion who knows what every doctor looks like
River as well
Ben Ben however Benny has also met the Valeyard and she’s currently traveling with the third doctor from an alternate universe so I’d say Prof Summerfield knows more about the Doctor then his own wife and in Lies in Ruins Benny is surprised that River has never been to Gallifrey while she has visited the planet more then once!
The red headed doctor - is that meant to be Donna?
No, Merlin
Is Benny canon now? I hope so.
The Night of the Doctor brought up a bunch of BigFinish companions so that’s all the proof I need Benny is just off screen this whole time 😁
Who is Bernice?
Leif she was a seventh doctor companion from the novels. She’s also got her own ongoing series in the Big Finish audios
So brilliant he banned a load of people on Twitter.
What a mess.
It was a great story, and you went and spoiled it.
So, they turned off comments AND like/dislike for "The Shadow in the Mirror". I wonder why? Let the alien go live a life in the body of the little girl she killed to take it, who isn't sorry, that admits it will kill again...that's not mercy, that's stupid at best, accessory to murder at the worst.
Sure, let's royally screw up the ending to one of the best Who stories ever. Great idea! Of course, screwing over the great past of Dr. Who seems to be exactly what they want to do these days just because the great character happened to have white skin and be biologically male. Great representation of what a woman would do in the same man's place. Too bad the little girl didn't kill her and take over her body.
They turned the comments off because bad media comprehension combined with fanboy misogyny is an ugly combination. You seem to be a perfect case study.
The Doctor freed the alien because she realized that there was nothing to be gained in punishment. The Doctor would've held onto this rage long after they've forgotten why they were angry in the first place, and the alien was never going to repent. 13 choose to do the healthy thing and let go. She ensured the alien would die before hurting anyone else, allowing the alien to die as it chooses to and allowing the Doctor to move on.
Timeless child sucked ass and undeniably broke the character, but this isn't the same thing at all. Doctor Who has always been about kindness, forgiveness, and mercy. Not to mention, they literally set this up in the original episode. In my mind, this is the perfect resolution of this story.
@@Alex-fu4md 🙄
Ugh. Just No. Why tamper with a perfect story.
This show is dead and the BBC is defiling it's corpse
Lol
