I am forever disappointed that they didn't get David Tennant, in his 10th Doctor costume, to light the torch in the real 2012 Olympics. 😂
He even said that he still had his blue outfit and was willing to do it.
While not in an episode, I think the actor who played 11 ran with the torch during the actual 2012 Olympics
@@thepandorica1660Yeah, it was Smith, but not Tennant, which is what people wanted to fit within this episode
Have any of those young athletes who lit the flame, done anything of note since then? I believe one of them defected to Ireland.
Yeah, didn't they get someone utterly awful like Shami Chakrabarti?
There was a proper campaign in trying to get David Tennant to carry the olympic torch IRL because of this.
Pencils have never had lead in them. It has always been graphite. We say "pencil lead" because of the historic connection to the Roman stylus, which was made of lead.
“The Doctor was a dad once?” In fact, he was also a grandfather 😀. When the original series began in 1963 the first Doctor, played by William Hartnell, travelled with his granddaughter Susan, played by Carole Ann Ford.
I was just about to mention that, but you beat me to it.
Logically, for him to have a grandchild, he would have to have a child.
Oh, about him being a dad. When the series started in 1963 he was traveling in the TARDIS with his granddaughter
I did not remember that line about the torchbearer being struck by lightning, that just caught me so off guard. What an insane line!
The Doctor calls Rose 'Lewis' after the Police Sergeant in the long running British Detective series Inspector Morse
The kid who won the contest afrom the last episode also got to go to the studios an meet the actors. He has a youtube channel and he mentions how it is one of the happiest days of his life.
It's so funny how Love & Monsters and Fear Her are back to back and they're two of the most hated early post-2005 Who episodes but I do think they're both very fun
I think the truth is that whovians don't like fun and would prefer it every episode was gritty and dark
i think i would be able to tolerate fear her a bit more without the raspy voice. or perhaps just getting a better child actor. its crazy how many movies and shows we have today with amazing child actors and doctor who typical seems to get the worst. though there are some rare exceptions to that
Iirc, these both were guest writers [both won contests] and so neither really FIT into the story.
@@SoTOreoshe's really not that bad
I just think the episode is really bad and doesnt add anything tbh. It feels like a episode to make up the numbers. Its also a bit boring
I loved this one! A lot of grown up sub text…abuse, not talking, keeping pain secret…and that makes a monster in the closet. The mom’s behavior shows the denial and lack of communication from being in the abusive relationship She’s kind of shut down. This episode had some great characters. I love the council road repair guy. Were their stupid bits? Sure. It’s doctor who. But the characterization was spot on. This is my husbands favorite episode. He’s not in fandom, but he loved this and quotes it all the time. I remember when the 2012 Olympics aired some of my kids friends were jokingly waiting for the doctor to carry the torch
One of the very first Doctor Who companions in the 1960s was his granddaughter, Susan Foreman. So yeah, he was a Dad but not much was revealed about his kid(s) and Susan’s parents.
Susan is often alluded to in Classic and New Who and one of the most iconic Classic Who scenes was when she was left behind after finding love and the First Doctor (William Hartnell) delivers the “One Day I Shall Come Back” speech
recently they confirmed she was his grandaughter but because of the nature of time travel he doesn't know who her parents are
Chloe you aren't when you're hungry gave me a chuckle 😂😂
"Earth doesn't even have that many people" ?? The Doctor said they travel in clumps of around 4 billion. In 2012 there were 7.06 billion people on the planet. Today there are 8.1 billion people. So probably more than enough
Since by now you've already seen the finale on Patreon, i think it's safe to say that the show does love preparing you for Doctor and companion exits. It's usually a lot more subtle for the companions but still...
Why is it that in all mystery shows, an investigator asks to go to the bathroom? It is obvious that they really don't need to go and just to do some unauthorized exploring. Why don't the homeowner just say: "No, you have only authority to stay in the living room. You can hold it unless you want to leave now."
Lead has never been used in Pencils, people just think that because people called it "lead"
The graphite creature was a really clever one. It would have been funny at the actual Olympics in 2012, if David Tennant had been the one to light the torch. Missed opportunity there. :)
My guess is that Rose just threw the Isolis spaceship in the air, knowing that it would be drawn to heat, in this case the Olympic torch.
"We should go to the original Olympics."
Now THAT'S a good idea! 💡
Not sure it would fly with the BBC. All the competitors ewre naked
@@RightTurnClyde Perfect idea for a Torchwood ep, then! =:o}
This was apparently a last-minute replacement for an episode to be written by Stephen Fry in which it would be revealed that the actor-writer-etc., was an alien -- or something like that. If anyone has more details, feel free, etc. I'm not really sorry that didn't happen.
The First Doctor (William Hartnell) traveled with his teenage granddaughter Susan. We never actually met any other members of the Doctor's fam.
I remember when 2012 was years away at the time and this episode is set in the same year as Dalek in series 1 just in different countries
It's fun and kinda scary lol
There's an episode set in 2020, but it aired in 2010 or something. Not only that, but there are other future years in the 21st century that'll eventually be in the past
@@thepandorica1660 honestly it's a little weird when released episodes have a future date on earth cause you never think it will come but soon enough it passes by. I might try and make a spreadsheet on episodes time frame in order and see what's left to come
@@Venemofthe888 I used to do things like that as a teenager, trying to map out connections between times and events in the show. Just be careful not to fall down the "UNIT dating paradox" well! =:o}
I’m aging myself here but I saw the ‘84 Olympics in LA. I actually still have an Olympics Coke bottle that I somehow still have. Never opened even.
16:00 the very first time we see the doctor we also see his grand daughter.
This episode is often seen as weak. I think it’s extremely good. The poor girl has no control of her actions. The innocence of the alien within her is hiding something far more sinister. A violent father she thought was dead. So well written. ❤
It just feels like its there tbh and its the episode before the 2 part finale. I dont think you would be missing anything if it was cut and was just added to make up the numbers
Get the box of tissues ready next 2 episodes incoming.
fun fact the actor playing the mom here also played with David Tennent in Casanova.
film is worth a watch
Another fun fact is that my oldest cousin Brock played 12 year old Jack in this!
And Good Omens ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. Nice reaction.
“We should go to the original Olympics. I wanna see that.”
Is that because the athletes were all men, and competed naked? 😁
Next couple episodes are gonna be fun.
You were talking about the fact that a kid made the monster in the last episode, the kid is now a CZcamsr called Channel Pup. He does a lot of videos on Sonic the Hedgehog, Spider-Man and, of course, Doctor Who.
“A storm’s approaching”😬
Classic first doctor travelled with his granddaughter Susan
Thanks, Emme! ⏳ Euros Lyn directed this one. Mr. Lyn's recent work, the first two seasons of HEARTSTOPPER (2022), continues his standard of excellence.
Not one of my favorite episodes, but I’m really enjoying your reactions, Emme.
3:59 I think the funniest gag in the whole series. 🤣
It's a rare dud in my book, at least last weeks offered some interesting character stuff
Thanks to this episode, in the 2012 olympics the DW fans made a whole campaign to a Doctor actor hold and run with the torch and that pretty much did happened, but sadly it wasn't David Tennant.
This and _The Idiot's Lantern_ have different writers, so there's no real excuse for them ending up so similar - suburban setting during a historic occasion (coronation/olympics) and a troublesome father. Plus, in _The Idiot's Lantern_ Rose gets got and the Doctor has to save her, but here it's other way round and Rose has to save the Doctor.
0:45 the kid who designed the Absorbaloff has actually gone on to be a pretty fun CZcamsr, who naturally talks a lot about Doctor Who.
He goes by Channel Pup.
Hello Emme, your highlights are looking very nice!😊 Great reactions to another very unusual Doctor Who episode, Emme!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your amazing Emme
the man playing Dale Hicks father had previously played the Soldier that shot the Pig-Astronaut in Aliens of London
4:15 like a glove…
Welcome to the distant future of...2012. 😂
This is the one episode of the first 11 years of new who I never rewatch
I like it. Was my favourite episode as a kid. I refuse to watch Fathers Day.
Outside of the fan thing Love and Monster is one of the so called Doctor Lite episodes where the focus is on side characters and not the Doctor and companion(s).
“We should go the original Olympics, I would like to see that”
Uh the um, *uniforms* for the original Olympics aren’t very advertiser friendly
Just finished season 2 and as you are 4 weeks ahead on the Patreon I may talk here a bit more I feel... I love and hate when TV series plays with my emotions like they did in this series in both seasons multiple of times.... Like they did with the Black hole episode last time, like they with the finale of this season... I do not exactly agree with the way they moved with Rose, but at least her ark is closed for me...
Even when I watched this episode back in 2006 I wasn't a big fan of it, and as time has gone on I grow less and less fond of it. Even learning it was written in a rush to replace another episode that fell through doesn't help - a lacklustre episode is a lacklustre episode, regardless of the reasons why.
I think it's mostly the acting. I don't think anyone's really all that great here, surprisingly - it feels like everyone's being a little too cartoony and over-the-top, which doesn't mesh well with the more serious elements of the script, and the child actor unfortunately is the worst offender here (which feels really mean-spirited to say, since, y'know, she's a kid, so please don't feel like I'm attacking her personally - this could very well be the fault of the director not guiding her properly, or any number of other factors).
✏️
The council bloke plays a horrible villain in The Wheel of Time series and I cannot take him seriously because all I hear is "THAT'S A COUNCIL...."
This episode is generally rated really poorly, but personally I put it a little above average (except for the Doctor being the Olympic torch-holder, that's just cheesy IMO).
Whyat's your tee shirt Emme, and can we see it properly please?
Am I the only one who feels like the 10th Doctor is weirdly a little out of character in this one? He comes out like a bit of a weirdo in a way that this incarnation usually doesn’t. Probably the result of this one being a last-minute addition to the series.
No he seemed very doctory to me. He tries to go slumming as a human but he’s not human and sometimes it shows. He never really “gets” it
@@CrankyGrandmait’s very Doctory, but not very *10th* Doctory. He typically doesn’t struggle this much.
many people hate this episode, and i personally skip it when i rewatch the show, but its alright if you took out the whole abusive dad... that has no place in a childrens show
I very much disagree that in has no place in a children's show. Those kind o situations are, unortunately, all too common in reality and bringing awareness to it is one o the most eective weapons against it. Additionally, it teaches that, should that situation come to an end via the death, arrest, or divorce o the abuser; it is VERY important or the child/children and the good parent to not distance themselves rom each other and instead make an eort to connect and help each other heal. (sorry, the letter key between D and G on my keyboard died)
Not one of the best episodes.
In regards to the Doctor being a dad once is a slight reference to the fact in Classic Who at the very beginning his original companion was his granddaughter Susan.
one of the worst episodes of tennants tenure as the doctor
This season of doctor who was unfortunately the victim of massive BBC budget cuts. The original idea the little boy who won the doctor who competition had was that the Abzorbaloff would be the size of a double decker bus. This was changed to save money. Also this episode, fear her, was written last minute hence why the plot feels underdeveloped. Originally an episode written by well known British comedian Stephen Fry that was set in the 17th century had been the plan, but again it was too expensive with things like costumes and horses.
This is the worst episode of Doctor Who in David Tennant's run imo and is a contest for the worst episode ever for me...
