A friend saw this in the cinema, when it was shown simultaneously to the BBC ONE broadcast. She said the audience cheered at the twelfth Doctor's eyebrows, and went mental when they heard Tom Baker's voice.
I bet the atmosphere was electric!!
That's precisely what happened in the showing I went to too. It was a completely full house and released the same week as Thor II. Minutes before I went to get myself comfortable to watch the 50th, I peeped my head around the door of the Thor II showing and there were only about twenty people in there, it was practically empty! Not only did the audience for the 50th clap and cheer at the moments you mentioned but the whole auditorium gave a round of applause at the end. I've only experienced that thrice in my cinema-going days and the other two being Jurassic Park and very recently, the new Top Gun: Maverick film.
I saw it in the cinema here in Norway too. It was amazing!
@@lukeyread The saddest news today is that we've just lost Bernard Cribbins.
I remember being in the theater CRYING when Tom Baker came on screen XD
I love how she noticed Billie's name in the credits but not David's 😂
Also can you imagine if she didn't remember them 😂
there's a version that some reactors have used where someone has blurred out the names in the credits
@@ffaristocratit's so stupid that the BBC put the names in the opening
I love that this episode explained why Elizabeth I called the doctor her sworn enemy back in the Shakespeare code episode with Martha. And his throw away line about the virgin queen in the end of time part 1
"If I were you." God, what a line. Tom Baker has lost none of his charm.
Doctor Who 👃🏻 👃🏽 👃🏿
He seemed beyond chuffed to reprise the role. I hope we see him again, it'd be a gas to see him in the same role 50 years apart!
One great thing about Tom is that he grew into that role. He gave up on some vice (which I can't recall) for the simple reason that kids look up to the Doctor and the Doctor didn't have that vice. That story told me everything I needed to about him as a person.
Tom Baker "GOAT"
I have a little theory about the moment/bad wolf.
When Rose was the bad wolf in parting of the ways, she could see all of time and space and had absolute power. Maybe she was able to give the moment a conscience in order to help “her doctor”.
I know it could never have been planned that way, but I like the idea.
Love this idea 😍
I love their friendship it’s so absolutely adorable
I like how Deepa had NO reaction during the All Thirteen segment until the eyebrows. That made me smile 😂
The music that plays when the helicopter lifts the TARDIS is also the same as the music that plays when the slitheen ship crashes into Big Ben. Bit an Easter egg by Murray gold To celebrate new who as well.
A banger of a track it is too 😍
i love how Deepa missed David Tennant but saw Billie Piper😂😂😂
I do like this visit with the giggle twins every week. When I watched it on tv I saw so stunned to see David's name there that I completely missed when it mentioned Billie so I was stunned when she turned up later on as I was so oblivious to her name in the credits.
I will never forget the spine tingle, watching this as it premiered, when that unforgettable voice boomed out "You know, I really think you might..."
Great to see that this special still has huge entertainment value, whether you're a Who newbie or a grizzled veteran. Loved every second of your guys' reactions. Best of luck with the rest of the series, and hope you stay safe in the heatwave!
the nostalgia really kicked in for me when Tom Baker showed up he is my Doctor i started watching Who with his first episode back in 1974 which was lucky as i got one doctor for my whole childhood
Loving the doctor who themed attire, this is one of the best episodes in new who, the crossover is done really well and helps to tell a story so not just a cash grab or anything like that. While its focus is more on new who I do feel like it celebrates the show as a whole and I can totally see people watching this seeing the old doctors and them doing at least a google search on them which is always good. This might just be how I see it but I see the episode saying that this always happened and that time wasn't actually rewritten, which makes the ending of season 1 even better because it can have all the character development but none of the "our hero is a genocidal maniac".
Fun fact, I used to watch doctor who until I went to uni (didn't understand tv license so just dropped all tv) so I never watched this live, I watched it for the first time in 2019 when I got netflix and decided to watch all who that was on it. After watching this I actually wen back and watched season 1 again and omg chris's acting and portrayal just comes off as even better
Happy 50th Anniversary! You two look great for having been around that long! 🤭 Obviously this is a great episode/special. The upcoming 60th will have a tall order to fill to compete with this one.
Love the tying up of the Elizabeth plotline from ‘doctor my sworn enemy’ in the shalespeare code to ‘met queen Elizabeth let me tell you her nickname is no longer’ 🤣 always love when doctor who continuity is en pointe
im in the middle of both moving and changing jobs so i have been incredibly stressed. you all and your videos make me feel so much better! thank you for the fun and amazing content! i hope you guys have a wonderful day!!!
I’ve been waiting for the episode! ♥️
Luke I love your jumper.
Here's a description of the Time War:
"At the heart of the War, millions were killed and brought back to life every second, on account of both sides' manipulations. The colossal death toll made the Doctor's TARDIS remember the Time War as "a war against Death".In the final battle alone, the Daleks numbered in the quintillions and fielded a fleet of ten million flying saucers. The Time Lords used over a million Battle TARDISes and other ships Time Scooped from their past, throwing their own people into the suffering as disposable soldiers and pilots who would be resurrected from death to be sent back into the fray."
Here's Deepa's description: "That looks very dangerous"
Deepa reigns supreme.
I love how well the zygon storyline and the gallifrey storyline mirror eachother. Genius special.
IT IS FINALLY HERE 😁😁😁😁
Love the episode. Didn't see it in 3D at the time, but did last year when I got a VR headset. Glad Deepa liked it.
Yayyyyy so glad Deepa's come so far!! The 50th really ages like a fine wine every time I watch it. Moffat's novelisation of The Day of the Doctor is a really good read, too, in that it's exactly the same story but unfolds completely differently in the details. Not sure I'm ready for next week, though...!
I've been checking CZcams all day for this 😩
The first time I watched this, I watched it with a friend who, like Deepa, had only seen New Who. When Tom Baker showed up, I had to pause and explain why I was freaking out. This is definitely one of those episodes that require multiple viewings and a detailed knowledge of the show to fully appreciate, but still 100% enjoyable with minimal knowledge as well. That's pretty freaking brilliant if you ask me. :)
As for David Tennant and Billie Piper being in this, that had been announced weeks if not months prior, so those of us who followed the news were not surprised to see them, though Billie not actually playing Rose was a surprise. Tom Baker's cameo was probably the best-kept secret of the whole thing; I don't think anyone knew he was going to be in it.
I could wax eloquent about this story, but suffice it to say, I think this was an excellent celebration of 50 years of my favorite show. :)
I’ve been waiting for this reaction for so long 😭😭
i have been waiting for this reaction!!!!
Everyone as all the doctors appear: 😭
Deepa: 😐
Always good to see here the giggle twins.
You mentioned that they made Clara a teacher at Coal Hill School as a reference to the original companions, Ian and Barbara. But, another little "easter egg" at the 50th anniversary's start is the actual opening shot, which is a reference to the opening shot of the very first episode of Doctor Who (which shows a policeman walking past the exact same scrap merchant sign). One of the Doctor's first companions, Ian Chesterton, is also listed on the Coal Hill sign as Chairman.
And now, that Luke has brought it up... I really don't know if I like The Day of the Doctor or The Name of the Doctor better!! 🤔 I love them both so, I think I really just like them both equally in different ways. 😊
Poor security guy having 10 hours of his memory everyday wiped clean, seems rather cruel
Bless him 😅😅
But imagine thinking you've spent 10 years at home between your last job and today.
I like to think there's a rota.
This is the episode I go to to cheer myself up, but as well as being a romp the Doctor is correcting a genocide and preventing another, so it has a very dark element too. The fact that it handles this theme with such a light touch, but without avoiding a proper discussion of wartime moralities is awe inspiring. And we had John Hurt plus Tom Baker as an Easter Egg. Simply wonderful.
Omg Luke are you getting ready to challenge Andy Murray at Wimbledon? Looking great today!
FINALLY!!!! we've all been waiting for this moment
*Moment
@@margotrobbiereputation2870 yes that's what i wrote
@@melxgoncalves I guess, but you forgot to capitalise it to signify the Moment’s presence in this episode :)
@@margotrobbiereputation2870 doesn't make much sense but ok
@@melxgoncalves it kinda does actually lol as it’ll be double meaning. This moment can refer to you looking forward to this episode reaction and also Deepa seeing the Moment itself.
The one I’ve been waiting for 😆😆😆😆😆😆
This really was like a doctor who movie, I actually watched this in theaters in America!
How can I say this without spoilers? I’m not ready for Christmas.
Me neither
As introductions go, Twelve's brief appearance in this one is one of the best. Peter Capaldi is so intense.
For some reason I have missed a few episodes of your reactions so my question might be an old one that has been answered already, but is Deepa engaged now?
This episode also explains why at the end of the Shakespeare eoisode , why Queen Elizabeth was angry at the doctor and tired to kill him , as he married her , and then disappeared , and probably never saw him again til that episode & why Elizabeth recognised him as well
Someone else has probably mentioned this already, but they purposely had the zyborgs because they were David Tennant's favorite villain when he watched Who as a kid. He's such a fanboy, it's adorable.
*Zygons.
@@craigsmithson548 oh good grief. How did I screw that up so bad?? Thanks for the correction!
Omg Deepa's shirt and mug💙💙🙌
She has that mug since birth
Given that the clock says 5:15 when Clara leaves, I assume it was, most definitely, the end of school. (It was also an Easter egg).
Looking forward to the end of next season for Deepa to see if she was right about Ozgood. 😁
I love the sneaky way he showed her what Tom Baker looked like.
I've often wondered what someone who has seen None of Classic Who but ALL of New Who (up to that point) would think of the 50th. Thanks Deepa!
I'm not sure that I agree with Luke that Name of the Doctor is overall better than the 50th, but the OPENING for Name of the Doctor is probably THE best cold open in all of New Who!
I’m also very uncomfortable that you didn’t tap the can 😅
You need to watch the Peter Davison mocumentary behind the scenes special
Attack eyebrows!!! 😂
YAY!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I get chills when the ending happens with all 13 doctors.
Also, that opinion is definitely unpopular. 😂
ok, so why didnt she had a single reaction of seeing Billie Pippier randomly being there xD
Speaking of a Doctor Who movie, do you think you'll introduce Deepa to the 96' film? It's worth it for a bit of fun. :)
I saw this in the cinema and it was a fun time. Has some good moments. Ngl in retrospect it isn't one of my favourites, but I'm sure it was difficult to write.
Also the 10th Doctor's hair 👀
his flat hair bothers me SO MUCH lol
Ok first off I love the Peter Davison jumper and the Jodie Whittaker shirt.
The 50th anniversary when I first saw this at the cinema in Australia I was very excited it was the best day of my life and I love that scene where The TARDIS smashes into the Daleks as it flys off that was in my opinion one of the best scenes in the whole episode but I wish we saw more of the Time War.
Looking back it now though in retrospect and don't get me wrong John Hurt was a brilliant fantastic actor and he was fantastic as The "War" Doctor but I think they could had easily had used just Paul McGann as The 8th Doctor to fight in the war that would had made more sense as I always pictured the 8th Doctor to be the one that fought so that I was slightly disappointed to learn that he didn't.
The Classic Doctors should had appeared like for real instead of the footage although I know they aged and look nothing like they did as The Doctor they could had used de-aged make up or something and use the digital imagery of the deceased actors.
For the "moment" the interface it should had been Susan instead of Rose and I would imagine Susan would had been the closest to the Doctor than Rose was in my opinion they could had easily brought Carole Ann Ford back this felt more like a celebration of NuWho than Classic Who.
And also the lack of the villains they could had brought back Omega and Sutekh working together to cause chaos and have all the incarnation of The Master's together and have the Daleks and the Cybermen and the Sontarans working together that would had been a epic 50th so this whole anniversary was a real misoppotunity and it should had been 90 minutes instead of 75.
It was an OK special I just wish it was more it doesn't beat "The Three Doctors" or "The Five Doctors" in my opinion.
But I will also say it was awesome to see Tom Baker again it nearly had me in tears when he showed up.
Are you two adorable peeps going to react to Capaldi's era?
Well you do need to bring some chocolate Easter Eggs for next filming session. Unacceptable that you assumed she wouldn't want that and wouldn't think of actual food.
23:50 Technically there were 14 Doctors (potentially more if they ever decide to). Because Curator is strongly teased to be a future incarnation.
24:45 👀
29:15 I don't think that is a controversial take. Multi Doctor episodes - we all love them, but they sometimes are not perfect and have to accommodate for a lot, making those episodes somehow wonky. Where as a cohesive finale will usually be better, because the build up is there.
However - personally, I don't even differentiate those episodes. For me that was a big event, multiple episodes kind being two parter story. Then the super fun side episodes with like 8th finally regenerating. When I judge it - I judge it all as one thing. And obviously there will be good and bad moments but up until now this group of episodes has been the best finale we had yet.
Obviously new seasons are coming and the finales are lovely (personally for me season 10th finale stands right now as the strongest finale).
31:15 Fun detail you forgot to mention - we already met Elizabeth, but Doctor knew her as older version of her and she was extremely bitter about something. We could probably guess it was Doctor running right after the wedding.
Also on that note - I loved Elisabeth in this. Kinda wish we had a past companion seeing the modern times. Because she was smart, she literally worked over the Zygons. Now imagine, if we had her go to the future on Star Whale deciding, if they should continue and forget or remember and face consequences.
30:30 I mean not to be extra mean. But let's be honest we could be spouting proper spoilers and Deepa would not connect it at this point. There is a lot of context she would be missing and probably would forget at some point the spoilers.
Hilarious that she didn't notice David Tennant's name in the credits! I thought - "Great, she has not been spoiled!". Then, when she sees him, she seems completely underwhelmed - "Oh, that's sweet". LOL. I also like the fact that Deepa has no issues killing 2.47 billion kids (plus all the adults) to wipe out the Daleks. Brilliant! Also, I don't really compare the Name of the Doctor to this because I regard the Day of the Doctor as a special event, not a normal episode at all. It is very much its own thing and obviously has lots of Easter Eggs etc. However, much as I love the Day of the Doctor, I probably agree with you that I prefer the Name of the Doctor.
Day of the doctor was a doctor who movie i went to see it in the cinema
Watch the five(ish) doctors it's fantastic and you NEED to see it
I suspect it's not quite as funny if you're not familiar with Classic Who and behind-the-scenes shenanigans, but probably still good for a chuckle.
@@livingandthriving it works as you don't really need to know the classic era just that these are the doctors from past series. There's no jokes that would only work if you watched the old doctors and you'll be chuckling away..
Do you own any sonic screwdrivers,Luke?
I’ve got 9th/10th, 11th and 13th Screwdrivers. Yet to own Classic, War or 12th 😞
@@lukeyread I’ve had 9/10’s an 11th that could be an actual screwdriver and a 4th Doctor one.
I am past the age where 'hype' affects me much (and I think the use of so-called '3D' in films is overrated in general), and so I did not try to attend the local cinema event when it aired. But watching it, I knew that those who did see it that way were really given their money's worth, including an effective use of the 3D stereoscopy. Probably would have lost my hearing when Tom Baker appeared, though. And really, 'giving the fans their money's worth' is sufficiently unusual nowadays.
Luke VERY SMOOTH of u, don't think so lol
You're gonna love the new doctor right now in 2023.. spoilers
I've been watching Doctor Who chronologically as best as I can and after series 7, The day of the doctor was a relief.
My favorite episode ever! As for the certain showrunner leaving - goodbye and good riddance!
All the previous Doctors appear.
These two: nothing.
Love this episode, been looking forward to this reaction for years :) love the pair of you
(Luke please remove the disclaimer thing from the description, it does nothing but make you look silly. That little paragraph would do nothing to prevent a copyright claim from the rights owners if they really wanted to make one, plus, there's no such thing as the "10 minute law".)
I'm with Lukeyread - I prefer Name of the Doctor. From the great pre-title sequence,to Clara hurtling back through the Doctors timeline (and hearing all those voices); to the revelation at the end....it feels a little more appropriate as a 50th celebration to me. DOTD is a lot of fun - but it doesn't really become a true celebration until its final 20 minutes.
Name would be too context heavy for the current series at the time I think to be honset
I like the Name of the Doctor better too :) Also, I feel like they had the Queen kiss him like that because she was the "virgin queen" so she doesn't know how to kiss properly lol
I didn't like the way the Zygons were used in this episode they were sidelined and treated like a joke instead of a serious threat which is typical Moffat.
