Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you. The BBC gave me the BEST Christmas gift this year by putting this video through COPYRIGHT HELL! This is the 5th version of the video but it's FIANLLY HERE! (Apologies for the rough edit). I hope you all enjoy the reaction as much as I enjoyed this episode, Ncuti and Millie are such an exciting pair. Thanks for joining me on this New-New Who journey and I can't wait to react to Doctor Who in 2024 for you all!

I'm glad there's still a few people on KZread who remember that Doctor Who has always been kind of silly and campy and dumb, in a good way! It's never been hard scifi or grimdark whatever. Thanks for bringing a little more positivity into a fandom that's full of too many people taking things waaaaaay too seriously.

I've watched Doctor Who since 1963 and I thought that Episode was Absolutely Brilliant was almost like the Episode Rose you didn't have to know too much about DW to enjoy this! Roll on May!

I enjoyed this. RTDs xmas specials are always goofy and campy, so quite enjoyed it

my favorite thing about doctor who was always the silliness, i’m glad that aspect was so present in the specials. 15 is so charming, i’m looking forward to the series! happy holidays!!

As a Tom Baker gal from back in the day I LOVE that some folks remember the joy of the camp and a doctor that takes delight in the experiences. Some people take everything so serious, and I admit I don't enjoy the overly seriousness that has been with a lot of the doctors. Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor has me more excited for the coming episodes then I have been for a long time.

Fifteen reminds me so much of Nine, the glee at figuring stuff out balanced with a darker streak I’m sure we’ll see more of. I’m so excited to see more

I had the exact same reaction to the episode. The magical seeing the tardis for the first time 😭 It had just the right amount of cheese to make it soooo much fun. Cant wait till may.

Loved the episode! Ncuti is great as the doctor, and he & Millie have great Doctor-companion chemistry.

Adored this episode, camp, emotional, left with questions! Can’t wait for May!

And here I thought nobody else would notice the bit of Christopher Eccleston flavoring....

Said this on Patreon already but wanted to repeat it here - THANK YOU for such a fun positive reaction. We can tell that you genuinely love this show and it makes it all the more fun to experience with you. I’ve had to stop getting DW reactions recommended to me because the majority of them have been so nitpicky and judgey. It’s like they’ve forgotten what show they’re watching lol. Anyway, can’t wait to continue the journey in the spring! And for people who have been on the fence about joining the patreon, I’m here to tell you to join because the full length reactions are wonderful. You will not regret it! 😊

Spooky how much Ruby reminds me of Clara, even looking rather like her in some shots. I think she's going to be good! And let's get Brian May to play a special riff for his wife lol.

Loved this episode! Bloody tired of some of the criticisms the 60th specials and this one have been getting. People don't know how to have fun anymore. Great to see someone embrace the fun silliness of Doctor Who. Can't wait for May!

What a lovely reaction to this fantastic episode. A very nice journey through a warm episode full of good chemistry between the 15th Doctor and Ruby. Doctor who is as good as ever. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Regarding mama Sunday, I’ve not rewatched the ep but I’m sure they said in the ep that she full on adopted Ruby at some point so she is def legally her mum and also emotionally her Mum too.

Loved your fun postive reaction and totally agree with what you said Mr!

Ncuti was born to play the Doctor! The older woman is clearly knowledgeable enough to know what a TARDIS is and what they do. She has never seen the Doctors one before though. She must then know of Timelords too. I feel she may turn up throughout the series and could be the one who waits.

I strongly believe the woman who put Ruby outside that church was Jodie Whitaker’s Doctor. Look at where the cloak ends, the skin and the shoes

I 100% agree with what you said at the end - Doctor Who is such a good time! Regardless of era or showrunner or episode I always have a good time, and I have very little patience with people who nitpick and say it's terrible because of this or that. It's just always great fun.
