Such an underrated companion! I love that she's an ACTUAL Doctor, and calls The Doctor out on it all the time 😅
Same. Loved Martha Jones
Honestly Iove Martha wasn't the biggest fan of her or Donna at first but grew to love them both mostly I think it just me being sad rose was gone
Not underrated by me! But I know what you mean. This is a great season.
Also a really underrated first episode. For me this is one of the best, tightest first episodes of a series in all of Who.
Well. Not technically a doctor yet.
Love Martha, such a competent and smart companion ❤
AND a very important one for the show!
The line 'Judoon platoon upon the moon' was written specifically to troll David Tennant, and see if he could say it without reverting to his natural Scottish accent with all the 'oohn' sounds
I love Martha's theme too!!... ps the consultant is named stoker as a tribute to bram stoker, the author of dracula.. as the episode is about a blood sucker
Meet Martha the most underrated companion of all time
Eh later on Bill gets very little love too
@@davidmacfarlane1763 bill is nice but I feel like she’s universally loved some people underestimate Martha honestly say she’s not the best companion like rose and Donna
Doctor has a race problem that starts to get better. A lot of very weird Black stereotypes. (Starting with Mickey even though he eventually gets an arc) Martha and Bill are both good improvements.
IMO that scene of Martha first entering the TARDIS is my favorite scene of a Companion being in the TARDIS for the first time, particularly when her theme swells as it pans around the inside.
In general I think the whole sequence of her family drama playing out in front of her before the Doctor shows up again is a good reflection of the experience of a DW viewer. Sometimes real life can suck and you need to get away from it all, luckily there’s a quirky alien with a magic box that can take you on all sorts of adventures for a bit.
I also like the Doctor's reaction to Martha's comment about it being bigger on the inside.
"Is it? I hadn't noticed."
It's one of the best companions reacting to the TARDIS being bigger on the inside. But I think we can agree the greatest one has to be quite a way down the line.
"Finally"
"Finally?"
"It's my go"
If you know, you know.
@@medafan53 Waited at least the first second of eternity to have their go.
@@medafan53Spoilers.😊
@@ronfehr7899 Very mild spoilers that you need to know the context to understand.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw who plays Martha's sister Tish was Judge Ravonna Remslayer in Loki.
She will also be in the new Doctor Who spin off The War Between Land snd Sea playing a new character.
I thought I recognized her, great catch
A performer like Freema Agyeman playing a minor character on the show before coming back to play a main character like Martha is a trend that Doctor Who does all the time. A good example in Classic Doctor Who was when Colin Baker played a Time Lord guard that was antagonistic towards the 5th Doctor later on returned to play the 6th Doctor !
All of this has happened before; all of this will happen again.
@@Pixelologist So Say We All
Emmeline Pankhurst was the political activist who started the suffragettes movement, somehow I've always missed that line, her stealing The Doctor's laser spanner is a hilarious mental image XD
Emmeline. Also first time spotting the line. Suppose I wasn't very much aware of suffrage when I was 11/12.
@@nathandts3401 didn't notice the autocorrect, will fix, thanks!
@@theshades5702 No worries. I was scrolling to make sure someone explained the reference, given the importance of the person. You were the first person I found so kudos to you.
@@nathandts3401 oh for sure, I did the same after I wrote mine and there's actually 3 other people that I found, so glad to see someone is paying attention haha!
I'd like to think that Emmeline used that laser spanner in some of her explosive activities 😅
Every time you drop a new Doctor Who reaction, I'm like, "Oh, can't wait what she thinks about this one!" Always a pleasure to watch!
Thank you!!!!
Meet Martha....she is Martha....
And we love Martha.
The Doctor makes his own Sonic Screwdriver. Like the Jedi with their Lightsabers
Sometimes the TARDIS grows one and it pops out of the console...
“Ok, that’s kind of a bop, do it again!”
Well now we have to get her to react to The Judoon Song from back in the day. 😂
The DW Poop Judoon rap battle is a classic 😂
I always wanted to hear a Judoon say "Yo Bro. Do No Go To So Ho Fo Fro Yo."
Underrated companion in an underrated story.
*Now* we’re getting to the good stuff.
The first four series of the revived "Doctor Who" are golden mine for "good stuff". Like a gift that keeps on giving.
As soon as some new CZcams reactor started watching this show from the "Rose" I can't wait for "The End of the World", then for "Dalek". then for "Father's Day", season finale, "The Christmas Invasion", "School Reunion", "The Girl in the Fireplace", "The Satan Pit", "Love & Monsters" (always a joy to see someone react to "Love & Monsters"), second season finale, Donna's appearance, Martha's introduction...
In two weeks time from now there will be "Gridlock", my second favorite (subjectively) episode of all time (behind my absolute favorite "Planet of the Dead") and then a few weeks later will be reaction to "Blink", it is like objectively the best episode, and then right after that will be objectively the best season finale and after that the most viewed "Doctor Who" christmas special, and after that objectively the best season with objectively the best companion.
Best (and underrated) companion!
I really liked Martha, a great character! A doctor, intelligent, very much the Doctors equal.
Hello Emme!😊 You actually met Martha before as another character in the "Army of Ghosts" episode. She was working at Torchwood and got taken over by the Daleks.😉 The actress (Freema Agyeman) actually landed a prime time TV show on NBC called "New Amsterdam" later on. The Jadoon are just like peace out, see ya later.😆 Great reactions to your first episode of season 3, Emme!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She's also on Matrix: Resurrections and Law and Order: UK
@@timmooney7528 And _Sense8, The Carrie Diaries, Little Dorrit,_ and _Dreamland._
Martha tells the Doctor in this episode that her cousin, Adeola, was killed at Canary Wharf.
Freema Agyeman also played Adeola (Martha's cousin) in Army of Ghosts.
Emily Pankhurst was the leader of the British women suffrage movement. A very important figure for female empowerment and feminism.
Its so awesome watching people reacting to Dr who for the first time!
Right wish more reactors reacted to Dr who but honestly emme a joy to watch and I'm grateful enough to watch her enjoying who for the first time
@@maxvickrey4357 I can't even keep up with all of the ones that are; I've had to put some into a "Watch Later" pile.
The actress that plays Martha Jones sister is in the Loki series
Love Martha. They have some of the best adventures.
Fun fact: The Doctor mouthing "it's bigger on the inside" along with Martha was improv by David Tennant.
Love to start my day with a Doctor Who reaction.
Same
Martha is a bit of an underrated companion, probably because she came after Rose who is a big fan favourite. She is great though. Smart (obviously, she's a medical student) and able to stand up to the Doctor. Series 3 and 4 are both outstanding. 😊
I really enjoy your doctor who reactions, really talkative and asking the real questions!
Thank you!
“A platoon of Judoon on the Moon.”😊
i absolutely adore martha, so excited for these reactions!
Don't know how well known she is outside of the UK but Emily Pankhurst was the face of women's sufferage in the UK in the early 20th century.
She is credited as the linch pin in gaining equal rights for women in the UK.
Emmeline Pankhurst was at the forefront of the women's suffrage movement in the UK. Hugely important figure in the history of women's rights: "I'd rather be a rebel than a slave" 💪🏼♀️🎉
Also we have fries in the UK, fries would only relate to the thin french fries only. Chips would be more like the thick steak fries.
am sure a lot of people probably already mentioned about marthas actor being in the show before but also the lady playing marthas mum was in the first episode of season 2. she was one of the cat nurces
Adjoa Andoh also is now Lady Danbury on _Bridgerton._
You might also recognise the sister she plays the judge in Loki also Mr Stoker ( must admit when I first watched this episode I didn't pick up on the name Stoker a reference to bran stoker who wrote Dracula as the Viklian is very vampire like )and Florence Finnegan actors were both in the show during the classic era as well
Ah I can’t wait for Emme’s reactions to the Blink and Family of Blood episodes ahhh
Both top shelf episodes
I'd love the idea of the Judoon leader being investigated for executing the guy and being defended in court...
"Ladies and gentleman of the jury, the Judoon leader witnessed an assault on a fellow officer, as corroborated by several eye witnesses on the scene and the hospital's security footage. As the incident took place on Earth's moon, which is not part of any nation on the planet as per the Outer Space Treaty, and thus eligible for authorized jurisdiction for Judoon investigation, the Judoon leader was operating within their legal boundaries as outlined in the policy of the Shadow Proclamation when they executed the assailant, having of course read the witness of a crime, the charge, the plea, and the sentence beforehand. In effect, my client has upheld the most fundamental virtue of interstellar law enforcement: Justice. Is. Swift."
So glad to see you discovering season 3😊. This is my favourite season…until season 4😉
Did any season from Series 5-4 overtake it? ;)
@@thepandorica1660 Not until the latter half of season 9😞
Its such a bop that many years ago someone made "The judoon song"
All this Martha praise in the comments, so good to see so much love for one of the most underrated companions of new Who.
Fantastic companion with one of the best themes (great to see you shouting out the music towards the end there!), and one hell of a season coming up! You've got some incredible episodes to look forward to, Emme!
If you get lost, follow the yellow line on the floor. 🤣
We know actor Roy Marsden as
Adam Dalgliesh in P. D. James mysteries (1983-1998)
and
Neil Burnside in the spy drama "The Sandbaggers" (1979-1980)
Classic Doctor Who fans were treated to the occasional return of characters, monsters and villains as well, as you have already seen in Series 2.
The series composer Murray Gold, wrote themes for all the companions. The soundtrack is available on CD (or streaming on CZcams). There is also a CZcams channel named "Doctor Who Fan Orchestra" to definitely check out on CZcams. Fans contributed their skills with musical instruments or vocals individually. The channel team assembled each part into presentations of Doctor Who New Series music.
11:13 Emmeline Pankhurst (15 July 1858 - 14 June 1928) was a British political activist who organised the British suffragette movement and helped women to win in 1918 the right to vote in Great Britain and Ireland. In 1999, Time named her as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, stating that "she shaped an idea of objects for our time" and "shook society into a new pattern from which there could be no going back". She was widely criticised for her militant tactics, and historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in the United Kingdom.
Martha most badass and competent companion
The Doctor does have a medical degree, (2nd doctor) also one in cheese making apparently (11th doctor)
This episode is in my top ten. I love Martha. One of the best companions. Very smart, and very beautiful!
Martha never gets enough love. She's an awesome companion
"They look like those biker dude in the start, they must be the same" thats leatherist..... 😂😂
Martha is very underrated, love her, she has some of my favorite all time Who episodes
Always note the music. Murray Gold is fabulous.
One of my favorite seasons and one of my favorite companions!! You're in for a treat! :D
Season 3 is goated
Martha and the Judoon are amazing addition to the whoniverse. And I actually used some parts of the Plasmavore concept in a fanfic! So this episode specifically is one of my favorites
Correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t the judoon already part of the whoniverse back in OG Dr Who
@@swampfire9382 Nope. Back then you had the Ogrons. But they were in-universe seen as corrupt. Mostly because they were policing for the daleks at some point. So the judoon replaced them around or shortly after the time war
❤Martha!
Martha is my favorite companion.
Mine too.
Thanks, Emme! ⏳ Much greatness to come in the season and beyond.
Especially save the Sea Turtles
i adore this episode and i adore martha!!! i'm so happy you get to meet her!!!
Lol, yes, though chips and french fries aren't quite the same. Chips tend to be much thicker, and are usually less crunchy and salty (though you can salt them as much as you want). If you want to be like a proper local, you can put chips in a sandwich, in which case it's called a 'chip butty'. For me, this works best with plenty of tomato ketchup.
Great, I'm really hungry now...
Please do uploads of Who more often, I’ve seen so many but you are amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻
I love this episode and Martha! My favorite companion. A goddess.
I wonder if you may have recognized Freema Agyeman from a previous Doctor Who episode, specifically the series 2 finale.
Martha even reminds us of that, saying that she had a cousin who died in the battle at Canary Wharf. That was actually Freema of course.
Yeah I always thought that was clever how they managed to separate her two characters and made them family hence why they looked similar
Martha was the best!
Dancing to the Judoon 🤣 I love it, I mean how can you not? It's totally a bop
Fun fact: The actress who plays the plasmavore played Leslie Tiller in Hot Fuzz. I don't remember if she's the first appearance in common between the two, but she's nowhere near the last.
Edit: I'm an idiot. I totally forgot that Simon Pegg was the manager of Satellite 5, and Harriet Jones (Prime Minister) is played by the actress who played Shaun's mom in Shaun of the Dead.
Martha Jones is the companion I first saw the doctor with. I love her more than I can express, even if I prefered some other companions...
Emily Pankhurst is a suffragette. An incredibly brave woman who fought for your right to vote.
She is a key figure in the emancipation of women and a hero to many, regardless of their gender.
I emplore you to check out her story.
Martha’s said her cousin Adeola (Adi) worked at Canary Wharf and never returned home. She was killed in Season 2’s “Army of Ghosts”.
love your confusion during the beginning.
love the next episode!
“Is that a person or an alien?”
It could be the Stig, but that doesn’t really answer the question.
Alias Smith and Jones (1971-1973) was a Western TV series.
You now meet Martha. She was awesome. I liked her a bit better than Rose. She an underrated companion. Doesn’t get enough credit from The Doctor for the things you are gonna see her do.
It's so nice to be in an era where the companions have professions and actually use their skills while travelling to help out.
Freema Agyeman is an awesome actress. After Dr Who she appeared as a regular on the series Law and Order UK.
Yay, Martha! My favourite companion.
I love Tennant's wink at Martha when she (silently) notes he has two hearts. It's frequently his small touches.
Martha is one of my favourites this is a good season
21:03 this season imo has the best music of the show
SPACE RHINO HYPE
Welcome to my favorite season and companion !
I do so love Martha. Easily my favourite of Ten's companions.
2:22 one of my favorite time travel moments in the show. Very simple. 21:30
9:16 lol. Yeah it’s definitely a cool sounding language
Love Martha. Enjoyed your reaction as usual.
Great introduction for Martha.
Martha has my favourite companion theme in all of nuwho. Its so good it can feel out of place at times
Space Rhino’s abduct a bunch of people to the moon but the actual big bad is an old lady with a straw.
Martha is one of my favorite companions ever, and I've been watching simce the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker, the best Doctor).
SAVE THE MOON TURTLES!
So a few things Martha's mother was one of the cat nurses in series 2, Mr stoker is a homage to bram stoker the person who invented Dracula and he gets his blood sucked out and lastly Freema played a character in the finale who gets controlled by the cybermen and even make reference in the episode
One thing that Doctor Who excells at is having scary old ladies as villains!
That actress is Anne Reid, who later went on to co-star in _Last Tango in Halifax_ with Derek Jacobi. The series is about a couple who had liked each other when young reconnecting and finding love in their twilight years.
I love this episode. They created a language that Tennant had issues with and he overcame it. I wish i could comment on other stuff
Zofirax was a cold sore cream. There was an advert where a motor cycle courier wouldn't take off the helmet until the last frame.
Emmeline Pankhurst organized the British suffragette movement and helped women win the right to vote in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918.
so fun fact about me... i have a bank thats shaped like the TARDIS the doors open and you can see Martha and the Doctor AND it says a couple of lines from this episode, AND also makes the TRADIS sound... unfortunately i dont think it worls anymore but i played with it a LOT
I bet that's worth a lot now.
@@HuntingViolets yeah only sentimental value
Martha is a gem!
Not sure if you noticed she bears a striking resemblance to the female scientist that got taken over by the Cybermen in the season finale (season 2? 3? I forget). Same actress. They cover it by mentioning her relative dying.
She was in rose last episode. The two workers who were romantic together. They just wrote that character off saying it was her cousin
"Smith and Jones" is also the name of a British comedy series from the 90s, so that might have inspired the title as well
And their Alas Smith and Jones was itself a pun on the title of Alias Smith and Jones, an American comedy from the 80s
@@andybodle7560 Almost: I grew up with the Western in the 70s ("There's one thing we gotta get, Hayes!" "What's that?" "Outta this business!"), and it was more light-hearted adventure than out-and-out comedy IMO. Of course I instantly got the pun in the title of the 90s comedy sketch-show, and knew the 2 comedians from _Not_ _the_ _Nine_ _O'Clock_ _News_ in the 80s. Also, it's the two most common surnames in the UK.
@@andybodle7560 You have an I missing in one of your Aliases.
@@elvwood Sad about the actor Peter Duel's untimely death. Roger Davis briefly replaced him in the role. Previously watched him in _Love on a Rooftop_ with Judy Carne. Carne guested on _Alias Smith and Jones._
@@HuntingViolets Nope, 'Alas' was a deliberate pun on 'Alias' used in the title of the first series of Mel Smith & Griff Rhys Jones' sketch show.
Yeah whenever the Doctor "plays human" he'll go by the very common name "John Smith" because... well it's very common. :)
But yes this was a good episode, it was a bit like a murder mystery in that you met the characters and stuff was happening but it wasn't until the end that it began to come together as a coherent story.
Love lorn Martha the music is Martha's theme all the companions have music themes.
I wonder how the Jadoon were able to track down the plasmavore to that exact location. With a whole universe in which to hide, one would think it nearly impossible to find her.
They're just that good.
Ah the rhino space police, the little straw, rain is going up. I think Martha being a more smart character is an interesting contrast from the typical adventurous but still asks the right questions that Rose did. Or the not as aware but helpful & funny Donna. So many moments this episode or season.
I don't always notice the finer details of Stoker or other names or references but writers do like to put them in.
It is very much a bop even if not intended. XD
Leading with time lord/had to use the TARDIS then just pull the tie out, yet later episodes does a break down of things then being smug about it. So many things, so many good episodes this season. Two good 3 episodes in a row too.
Madness inducing? Its lunacy!
I was born in the hospital this was filmed in!😊
