1
00:00:01,064 --> 00:00:03,966
I just want a mate.
2
00:00:04,168 --> 00:00:06,135
You just want
to mate?!
3
00:00:06,137 --> 00:00:07,803
I just want
a mate.
4
00:00:07,805 --> 00:00:09,572
The women
of The Who universe
5
00:00:09,574 --> 00:00:12,408
are all strong,
opinionated,
6
00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:13,776
and independent.
7
00:00:13,778 --> 00:00:15,611
They're all different
kinds of people.
8
00:00:15,613 --> 00:00:16,645
Sometimes they're
good guys,
9
00:00:16,647 --> 00:00:18,447
sometimes
they're bad guys,
10
00:00:18,449 --> 00:00:19,815
sometimes they're
companions.
11
00:00:19,817 --> 00:00:22,084
They've been a friend,
they've been an admirer --
12
00:00:22,086 --> 00:00:23,919
You'd better come running, you got it?
Got it.
13
00:00:23,921 --> 00:00:26,088
They've been a lover --
Shut up.
14
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:28,924
They're well-rounded and
they're loving and loyal.
15
00:00:28,926 --> 00:00:30,960
There's always
something
16
00:00:30,962 --> 00:00:32,361
unique and special
about each one of them.
17
00:00:32,363 --> 00:00:34,563
They tend to be
proper characters.
18
00:00:34,565 --> 00:00:36,565
Pretty adventurous,
pretty bold, pretty brave.
19
00:00:36,567 --> 00:00:38,100
They're never drips.
20
00:00:38,102 --> 00:00:39,568
That was
two years ago!
21
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:41,937
Every woman who encounters
the Doctor is
22
00:00:41,939 --> 00:00:43,572
in love with him
in a different way.
23
00:00:43,574 --> 00:00:45,040
It's like there are
as many
24
00:00:45,042 --> 00:00:47,710
different types of love
as there are
25
00:00:47,712 --> 00:00:49,044
women who encounter
the Doctor.
26
00:00:49,046 --> 00:00:50,546
That is the one thing
that the Doctor
27
00:00:50,548 --> 00:00:51,814
never has control over, right?
The ladies in his life.
28
00:00:51,816 --> 00:00:53,215
I'll soon fix that.

♪ Dr. Who Specials 2x02 ♪
The Women of Doctor Who
Original Air Date on August 18, 2012
30
00:01:01,256 --> 00:01:04,356
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
31
00:01:04,461 --> 00:01:06,896
Back in the day,
the "Doctor Who"
32
00:01:06,898 --> 00:01:10,499
female person who was with him
was called an "assistant."
33
00:01:10,501 --> 00:01:12,034
These days, they're
called a "companion."
34
00:01:12,036 --> 00:01:13,869
I think they are different,
I think they're much more
35
00:01:13,871 --> 00:01:16,972
involved in the action.
36
00:01:16,974 --> 00:01:18,908
All the companions get a sniff
of what the Doctor's up to
37
00:01:18,910 --> 00:01:20,676
and they're like "I'm in.
Take me. Let's do this."
38
00:01:20,678 --> 00:01:22,211
I think you've got to
have some real gumption
39
00:01:22,213 --> 00:01:25,381
to be a companion
of the Doctor.
40
00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:28,784
When the Doctor
41
00:01:28,786 --> 00:01:31,987
was reinvented and rebranded
for a new generation,
42
00:01:31,989 --> 00:01:33,689
it was "Well, who's
going to be the companion?"
43
00:01:33,691 --> 00:01:36,825
I think Rose Tyler was
44
00:01:36,827 --> 00:01:37,927
kind of the perfect
casting choice.
45
00:01:37,929 --> 00:01:41,030
She was gorgeous, smart,
46
00:01:41,032 --> 00:01:42,364
funny, feisty.
47
00:01:42,366 --> 00:01:43,866
She's, like,
a working-class shopgirl.
48
00:01:43,868 --> 00:01:47,002
She has a very
average life
49
00:01:47,004 --> 00:01:48,604
and then
she meets the Doctor
50
00:01:48,606 --> 00:01:51,006
and he sees
something in her.
51
00:01:51,008 --> 00:01:53,275
Rose is smarter than
she gives herself credit for.
52
00:01:53,277 --> 00:01:57,079
Wiser than, like, the
neighborhood she comes from.
53
00:01:57,081 --> 00:01:59,114
I thought it was
a warning.
54
00:01:59,116 --> 00:02:00,716
Maybe it's
the opposite.
55
00:02:00,718 --> 00:02:02,585
Maybe
it's a message!
56
00:02:02,587 --> 00:02:04,053
The same words
written down now,
57
00:02:04,055 --> 00:02:06,655
and 200,000 years
in the future.
58
00:02:06,657 --> 00:02:08,057
It's a link between me
and the Doctor --
59
00:02:08,059 --> 00:02:10,192
"Bad Wolf" here,
"Bad Wolf" there.
60
00:02:10,194 --> 00:02:11,727
Yeah, but if it's a message,
what's it saying?
61
00:02:11,729 --> 00:02:13,229
It's telling me
I can get back!
62
00:02:13,231 --> 00:02:15,631
I really thought she was just
kind of this ditzy shopgirl,
63
00:02:15,633 --> 00:02:17,433
you know, blonde,
you know,
64
00:02:17,435 --> 00:02:19,068
was hot in high school,
then really didn't go on
65
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:20,536
to do anything much,
after that
66
00:02:20,538 --> 00:02:23,205
and then turns out to be
one of the most badassed
67
00:02:23,207 --> 00:02:24,707
"Who" girls of all time.
68
00:02:24,709 --> 00:02:26,375
I'm not into blondes,
either.
69
00:02:26,377 --> 00:02:29,411
She's a wonderfully
refreshing heroine
70
00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:33,315
that sets the standard for
heroines in other Sci-Fi series.
71
00:02:33,317 --> 00:02:35,551
I think what she said
and what she did
72
00:02:35,553 --> 00:02:37,486
almost came second
to the fact that
73
00:02:37,488 --> 00:02:38,954
she was incredibly hot.
74
00:02:38,956 --> 00:02:41,890
I dunno,
75
00:02:41,892 --> 00:02:43,559
find a planet,
76
00:02:43,561 --> 00:02:45,094
get a job,
live a life --
77
00:02:45,096 --> 00:02:47,229
same as the rest of
the Universe.
78
00:02:47,231 --> 00:02:49,098
Pfft, I'd have to
settle down.
79
00:02:50,368 --> 00:02:51,867
Get a house or something,
a proper house --
80
00:02:51,869 --> 00:02:54,703
She was
an extraordinary,
81
00:02:54,705 --> 00:02:57,139
open, receptive
character.
82
00:02:57,141 --> 00:02:59,308
I think she was in love
with the Doctor
83
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:00,809
long before
she ever realized
84
00:03:00,811 --> 00:03:02,478
she had that
affection for him.
85
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,912
No.
Oh, yes.
86
00:03:03,914 --> 00:03:05,247
I'm dying,
that's it.
87
00:03:05,249 --> 00:03:06,682
I am dying.
It is all over.
88
00:03:06,684 --> 00:03:08,150
What about me? I'd
have to get one, too.
89
00:03:08,152 --> 00:03:10,185
I don't know,
it could...
90
00:03:10,187 --> 00:03:12,888
Could be the same one,
we could both --
91
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:14,490
I dunno...
92
00:03:14,492 --> 00:03:18,093
share. Or not,
you know, whatever.
93
00:03:18,095 --> 00:03:19,728
I dunno, we'll sort something out.
Anyway.
94
00:03:19,730 --> 00:03:22,731
We'll see.
95
00:03:22,733 --> 00:03:24,533
It was about the Doctor
and Rose.
96
00:03:24,535 --> 00:03:27,102
It wasn't ""Doctor Who,"
it was "the Doctor & Rose,"
97
00:03:27,104 --> 00:03:28,737
like "Lois & Clark."
98
00:03:28,739 --> 00:03:31,106
As a fan of the old show,
I didn't like the idea
99
00:03:31,108 --> 00:03:34,743
of him having
a romance because
100
00:03:34,745 --> 00:03:37,246
he doesn't see us
in that way.
101
00:03:37,248 --> 00:03:39,415
He's a different
species.
102
00:03:39,417 --> 00:03:40,983
But I guess we found out
a little bit about him
103
00:03:40,985 --> 00:03:42,751
when he started
falling for Rose.
104
00:03:42,753 --> 00:03:44,153
I think in spite
of himself, too.
105
00:03:44,155 --> 00:03:45,587
I don't think
he wanted to.
106
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:49,658
Am I ever going to
see you again?
107
00:03:53,164 --> 00:03:55,030
You can't.
108
00:03:55,032 --> 00:03:58,000
What are you
going to do?
109
00:03:58,002 --> 00:04:00,969
Oh, I've got
the TARDIS.
110
00:04:00,971 --> 00:04:02,471
Because I've watched
"Doctor Who"
111
00:04:02,473 --> 00:04:05,407
for almost 50 years,
112
00:04:05,409 --> 00:04:06,975
I'm not used to
113
00:04:06,977 --> 00:04:10,446
this raw,
114
00:04:10,448 --> 00:04:12,314
human emotion
that's coming out
115
00:04:12,316 --> 00:04:14,483
in the modern versions
of the drama.
116
00:04:20,523 --> 00:04:22,958
I love you.
117
00:04:24,894 --> 00:04:27,463
Quite right, too.
118
00:04:30,167 --> 00:04:32,735
And I suppose...
119
00:04:34,838 --> 00:04:37,072
If it's my last chance
to say it...
120
00:04:42,612 --> 00:04:45,080
Rose Tyler...
121
00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:49,885
Come on!
122
00:04:49,887 --> 00:04:52,287
Dog the Bounty Hunter
would've sobbed.
123
00:04:52,289 --> 00:04:55,257
He was going to say it.
He was going to say it!
124
00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:56,825
And then he lost
the connection.
125
00:04:56,827 --> 00:05:00,496
Like, that's the worst
kind of dropped call, ever.
126
00:05:00,498 --> 00:05:02,865
Poor Rose. I mean,
he couldn't say it.
127
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:04,366
If he said it,
it would've been too much.
128
00:05:04,368 --> 00:05:06,268
I think that's the perfect
way to end that episode.
129
00:05:06,270 --> 00:05:09,037
The whole debate is was he
going to say "I love you"
130
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:11,573
or was he going to say
something clever?
131
00:05:11,575 --> 00:05:15,878
He might've said
"Rose Tyler...I love you."
132
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,149
He might've
said, "Rose Tyler...
133
00:05:20,151 --> 00:05:23,485
"you are essentially
an ant to me
134
00:05:23,487 --> 00:05:26,188
"and I can't --
135
00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:27,923
there's nothing that's
going to happen here."
136
00:05:27,925 --> 00:05:29,425
He didn't say it.
137
00:05:29,427 --> 00:05:30,859
He had plenty of time
to say it, if you remember,
138
00:05:30,861 --> 00:05:32,261
but he didn't quite
say it.
139
00:05:35,632 --> 00:05:37,933
The next companion, after
Rose, was Martha Jones
140
00:05:37,935 --> 00:05:39,568
and Martha Jones
141
00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:41,837
was confident and badass
142
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,039
and was studying
to be a doctor.
143
00:05:44,041 --> 00:05:46,542
She fancied the Doctor
and was always trying
144
00:05:46,544 --> 00:05:49,211
to turn him into some
kind of boyfriend.
145
00:05:49,213 --> 00:05:50,679
All on your own?
146
00:05:50,681 --> 00:05:53,315
Well! Sometimes
I have...guests.
147
00:05:53,317 --> 00:05:55,417
I mean, some friends,
traveling alongside.
148
00:05:55,419 --> 00:05:57,019
I had --
it was recently --
149
00:05:57,021 --> 00:05:58,854
a friend of mine.
150
00:05:58,856 --> 00:06:00,589
Rose,
her name was, Rose.
151
00:06:00,591 --> 00:06:02,758
And...
152
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,126
we were together.
153
00:06:04,128 --> 00:06:05,627
Anyway.
154
00:06:05,629 --> 00:06:06,962
Where is she now?
155
00:06:06,964 --> 00:06:08,797
With her family.
Happy. She's fine.
156
00:06:08,799 --> 00:06:10,933
She's -- not that
you're replacing her.
157
00:06:10,935 --> 00:06:12,868
It's pretty clear,
like "I've just come
158
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:15,170
"out of a relationship
and I'm really
159
00:06:15,172 --> 00:06:17,072
not ready
to see anyone right now."
160
00:06:17,074 --> 00:06:18,440
That's not what
he says, but that's
161
00:06:18,442 --> 00:06:20,008
kind of what he's saying,
which is smart.
162
00:06:20,010 --> 00:06:22,778
I think, as fans,
we would've been bummed
163
00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:24,746
if it would've been
that easy to be like
164
00:06:24,748 --> 00:06:28,016
"Oh! Oh, who's the
lady du jour today?"
165
00:06:28,018 --> 00:06:29,518
And if you will wear
a tight suit.
166
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,786
Now...don't.
167
00:06:30,788 --> 00:06:32,588
And then travel
all the way
168
00:06:32,590 --> 00:06:34,423
across the universe just
to ask me on a date.
169
00:06:34,425 --> 00:06:36,692
Stop it.
170
00:06:36,694 --> 00:06:38,360
For the record,
171
00:06:38,362 --> 00:06:40,395
I'm not remotely
interested.
172
00:06:40,397 --> 00:06:41,697
I only go for humans.
173
00:06:44,033 --> 00:06:45,200
Good.
174
00:06:45,202 --> 00:06:47,503
Martha is
the rebound companion
175
00:06:47,505 --> 00:06:48,904
and I feel bad
for Martha.
176
00:06:48,906 --> 00:06:52,040
"The rebound
companion," I love that.
177
00:06:52,042 --> 00:06:54,109
Martha never really
had a chance.
178
00:06:54,111 --> 00:06:55,677
He was still
all Rosed up.
179
00:06:55,679 --> 00:06:58,313
Am I ever going to
see you again?
180
00:06:58,315 --> 00:06:59,381
Martha was cool.
181
00:06:59,383 --> 00:07:02,818
Martha knew what she
was getting into.
182
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:04,386
At first,
183
00:07:04,388 --> 00:07:06,955
she's just kind of
a big admirer of his
184
00:07:06,957 --> 00:07:09,958
but, as time goes on
and as she lives
185
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,760
the tough life
of the TARDIS,
186
00:07:11,762 --> 00:07:13,595
she gets stronger
187
00:07:13,597 --> 00:07:14,796
and she gets
more powerful
188
00:07:14,798 --> 00:07:16,732
and she gets more
and more of a badass.
189
00:07:16,734 --> 00:07:19,635
I love the moment
when Martha Jones
190
00:07:19,637 --> 00:07:22,437
just turns to the Doctor
and said,
191
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:24,406
"I'm not staying.
192
00:07:24,408 --> 00:07:27,075
I'm not going to waste my time,
waiting for a man."
193
00:07:27,077 --> 00:07:30,012
So good on her!
Girl power!
194
00:07:30,014 --> 00:07:31,647
The thing is, it's like
my friend Vicky,
195
00:07:31,649 --> 00:07:33,115
she lived with this bloke --
student housing,
196
00:07:33,117 --> 00:07:34,550
there were five of them,
all packed in,
197
00:07:34,552 --> 00:07:35,951
and this bloke
was called Shaun --
198
00:07:35,953 --> 00:07:37,419
and she loved him.
199
00:07:37,421 --> 00:07:40,422
She did, she completely
adored him,
200
00:07:40,424 --> 00:07:42,491
spent all day long
talking about him.
201
00:07:42,493 --> 00:07:43,692
Is this
going anywhere?
202
00:07:43,694 --> 00:07:45,561
Yes!
203
00:07:45,563 --> 00:07:47,162
Because he never looked
at her twice.
204
00:07:49,165 --> 00:07:50,632
I mean,
he liked her,
205
00:07:50,634 --> 00:07:52,668
but that was it.
206
00:07:54,704 --> 00:07:56,238
And she wasted years
pining after him,
207
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,639
years of her life,
'cause while he was around,
208
00:07:57,641 --> 00:07:59,808
she never looked
at anyone else.
209
00:07:59,810 --> 00:08:02,411
And I told her,
I always said to her,
210
00:08:02,413 --> 00:08:05,013
time and time again,
i said,
211
00:08:05,015 --> 00:08:07,816
"get out."
212
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:13,322
So this is me,
getting out.
213
00:08:19,596 --> 00:08:21,563
Keep that.
214
00:08:21,565 --> 00:08:23,932
Because I'm not
having you disappear.
215
00:08:23,934 --> 00:08:25,767
If that rings --
when that rings,
216
00:08:25,769 --> 00:08:27,302
you'd better come
running, you got it?
217
00:08:27,304 --> 00:08:29,071
Got it.
218
00:08:29,073 --> 00:08:31,073
She gives up
219
00:08:31,075 --> 00:08:33,475
traveling the Universe
because she wants
220
00:08:33,477 --> 00:08:36,612
to save her heart,
which is incredible!
221
00:08:36,614 --> 00:08:38,814
I think Martha did
the right thing, leaving,
222
00:08:38,816 --> 00:08:40,882
because she was never going to
get what she wanted from him.
223
00:08:40,884 --> 00:08:43,118
And so, being the strong
woman she was,
224
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,887
she said, "I can find
better than you"
225
00:08:45,889 --> 00:08:47,589
and she found Mickey.
226
00:08:47,591 --> 00:08:49,257
Yvonne Hartman
don't give a crap.
227
00:08:49,259 --> 00:08:50,792
Exactly as the
legends would have it.
228
00:08:50,794 --> 00:08:52,628
River Song is basically
the female Indiana Jones.
229
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:53,962
I'm your daughter.
230
00:08:53,964 --> 00:08:55,831
It's very emotional.
231
00:08:55,833 --> 00:08:57,466
Hello, Doctor.
232
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:02,265
Hello, Doctor.
233
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:06,569
I think all the women that
are involved with the Doctor
234
00:09:06,571 --> 00:09:08,705
have very strong
personalities, I think.
235
00:09:08,707 --> 00:09:10,773
None of them
are pushovers.
236
00:09:10,775 --> 00:09:12,575
I think they all represent
quite modern aspects
237
00:09:12,577 --> 00:09:14,644
of being a woman
238
00:09:14,646 --> 00:09:16,646
and I think he likes
a challenge.
239
00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:21,251
One of the characters that
absolutely stands out for me
240
00:09:21,253 --> 00:09:23,486
in "Doctor Who," was
in Russell's very brilliant
241
00:09:23,488 --> 00:09:26,256
"Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday,"
was Yvonne Hartman,
242
00:09:26,258 --> 00:09:28,258
who, at that point,
runs Torchwood.
243
00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:30,827
Yvonne Hartman was
a great character to play
244
00:09:30,829 --> 00:09:33,463
because she was neither
a victim nor a villain.
245
00:09:33,465 --> 00:09:35,932
One isn't quite sure
how to place her.
246
00:09:35,934 --> 00:09:37,534
She's kind of
247
00:09:37,536 --> 00:09:40,336
that businessminded lady
of the 1980s,
248
00:09:40,338 --> 00:09:42,438
where it's all about
just, you know,
249
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,940
becoming
the most powerful.
250
00:09:43,942 --> 00:09:45,775
I always remember
Russell T. Davies,
251
00:09:45,777 --> 00:09:48,211
who wrote those episodes,
calling me up and saying,
252
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:49,879
"When you're
approaching Yvonne,
253
00:09:49,881 --> 00:09:51,147
"I want you to think
of a woman
254
00:09:51,149 --> 00:09:52,682
"that has amazing
interactive skills,
255
00:09:52,684 --> 00:09:53,883
"she has charm,
256
00:09:53,885 --> 00:09:55,885
"but she has absolute,
steely determination
257
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:57,420
to get what she wants."
258
00:09:57,422 --> 00:09:58,755
Welcome...
259
00:09:58,757 --> 00:09:59,923
to Torchwood.
260
00:10:04,795 --> 00:10:07,864
That's
a Jathar Sunglider.
261
00:10:07,866 --> 00:10:10,300
Came down to Earth
262
00:10:10,302 --> 00:10:12,035
off the Shetland Islands
10 years ago.
263
00:10:12,037 --> 00:10:14,103
What, did it crash?
No, we shot it down.
264
00:10:14,105 --> 00:10:16,806
It violated our airspace.
Then we stripped it bare.
265
00:10:16,808 --> 00:10:20,109
Yvonne had charm oozing
out of every pore, but she
266
00:10:20,111 --> 00:10:22,211
wouldn't hesitate to shoot
you in the back of the neck
267
00:10:22,213 --> 00:10:23,746
to get what she wanted
in a heartbeat.
268
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:25,448
The Torchwood Institute
has a motto --
269
00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:27,684
"If it's alien,
it's ours."
270
00:10:27,686 --> 00:10:29,352
Anything that comes
from the sky,
271
00:10:29,354 --> 00:10:31,287
we strip it down
and we use it
272
00:10:31,289 --> 00:10:33,056
for the good of
the British Empire.
273
00:10:33,058 --> 00:10:34,390
For the good
of the what?
274
00:10:34,392 --> 00:10:35,658
The British Empire.
275
00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:37,193
There isn't
a British Empire.
276
00:10:37,195 --> 00:10:38,528
Not yet.
277
00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:40,463
She's so focused on being
the most powerful nation
278
00:10:40,465 --> 00:10:42,899
that she forgets that
it's actually going to
279
00:10:42,901 --> 00:10:45,068
mess things up
for all of humanity.
280
00:10:45,070 --> 00:10:47,570
Yvonne Heartman don't
give a crap, you know?
281
00:10:47,572 --> 00:10:48,938
She just knows
what she wants,
282
00:10:48,940 --> 00:10:50,373
she knows what she
thinks is right,
283
00:10:50,375 --> 00:10:51,674
she's going to
freaking do it.
284
00:10:51,676 --> 00:10:53,343
Cancel it.
285
00:10:53,345 --> 00:10:55,144
I don't think so.
286
00:10:55,146 --> 00:10:56,913
I'm warning you,
cancel it.
287
00:10:56,915 --> 00:10:58,448
Oh, exactly as the
legends would have it.
288
00:10:58,450 --> 00:11:00,216
The Doctor,
lording it over us,
289
00:11:00,218 --> 00:11:02,385
assuming alien authority
over the rights of man.
290
00:11:02,387 --> 00:11:03,820
She seems to think
that she knows more
291
00:11:03,822 --> 00:11:05,989
than the Doctor
and this eventually leads
292
00:11:05,991 --> 00:11:07,924
to a void opening
and the Earth
293
00:11:07,926 --> 00:11:11,394
being attacked simultaneously
by Cybermen and Daleks.
294
00:11:11,396 --> 00:11:13,229
You just kind of want to shake
her around the shoulders
295
00:11:13,231 --> 00:11:14,964
and be like
"listen to the Doctor!
296
00:11:14,966 --> 00:11:16,966
He makes everything okay.
Just listen to him."
297
00:11:16,968 --> 00:11:18,868
And she refuses.
298
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:20,603
And then she becomes
a Cyberman.
299
00:11:20,605 --> 00:11:23,473
Just one.
300
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:26,142
We will retreat
through the breach,
301
00:11:26,144 --> 00:11:27,744
regain the homeworld.
302
00:11:30,748 --> 00:11:32,982
You will not pass.
303
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:36,052
What is the meaning
of this?
304
00:11:36,054 --> 00:11:37,553
She becomes
a Cyberman
305
00:11:37,555 --> 00:11:39,856
and then realizes
what she's done
306
00:11:39,858 --> 00:11:42,158
and starts taking out
all the other Cybermen
307
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,627
while crying
those black tears,
308
00:11:44,629 --> 00:11:46,195
like she's
a goth girl.
309
00:11:46,197 --> 00:11:49,365
I did my duty for
Queen and country.
310
00:11:49,367 --> 00:11:51,968
She acts autonomously
and independently
311
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:54,404
and manages to save
the entire world
312
00:11:54,406 --> 00:11:57,273
and has one oily tear
that runs down her face.
313
00:11:57,275 --> 00:11:59,876
I think
it's very funny,
314
00:11:59,878 --> 00:12:02,245
but sad
and beautiful.
315
00:12:02,247 --> 00:12:03,980
And she's just crying
oily tears of, like,
316
00:12:03,982 --> 00:12:06,082
"I did this
for my country."
317
00:12:06,084 --> 00:12:08,651
That is how much
she loves planet Earth.
318
00:12:08,653 --> 00:12:12,021
Somehow, her best self
comes out
319
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:15,358
when her soul's been
taken away.
320
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,126
That says a lot
about her.
321
00:12:17,128 --> 00:12:19,028
I still get young children
on the street, actually,
322
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:21,531
asking me how I managed
to overturn my cybertraining.
323
00:12:24,902 --> 00:12:28,337
Idris is one
of my favorite ladies
324
00:12:28,339 --> 00:12:29,772
that crosses
the Doctor's path
325
00:12:29,774 --> 00:12:33,576
because she's never been
a person before.
326
00:12:33,578 --> 00:12:36,312
She's always just been
the soul of the TARDIS.
327
00:12:36,314 --> 00:12:37,780
Now, you'd think
the TARDIS,
328
00:12:37,782 --> 00:12:40,316
which is 700 years old,
329
00:12:40,318 --> 00:12:42,752
if it was to become flesh,
it would actually be
330
00:12:42,754 --> 00:12:46,456
a bloke, a man,
in a boiler suit,
331
00:12:46,458 --> 00:12:50,359
covered in tar,
covered in kind of
332
00:12:50,361 --> 00:12:52,795
the muck of machinery,
but, no.
333
00:12:52,797 --> 00:12:55,498
Basically, the personality
of the TARDIS got transferred
334
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:58,067
into a kind of hot,
scruffy,
335
00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:59,502
Helena-Bonham-Carter-
type woman.
336
00:12:59,504 --> 00:13:02,638
I'm alive.
337
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,540
I was very happy when the
TARDIS turned out to have
338
00:13:04,542 --> 00:13:07,110
such an elegant, demure
voice and personality,
339
00:13:07,112 --> 00:13:08,644
you know, how the TARDIS,
you know,
340
00:13:08,646 --> 00:13:10,313
sounded like a London
taxi driver --
341
00:13:10,315 --> 00:13:12,115
"I'm not going to
metebelis, no,
342
00:13:12,117 --> 00:13:13,616
and I'm not going there
at that time."
343
00:13:13,618 --> 00:13:15,551
He really realized
how alive the TARDIS is.
344
00:13:15,553 --> 00:13:17,887
Because he always goes
like "she's alive,"
345
00:13:17,889 --> 00:13:19,422
but when you see
a person be alive,
346
00:13:19,424 --> 00:13:21,557
it's easier to understand,
than, like,
347
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,093
a telephone booth
with infinite rooms.
348
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:25,762
You never read
the instructions.
349
00:13:25,764 --> 00:13:27,163
I always read
the instructions!
350
00:13:27,165 --> 00:13:29,132
There's a sign on my front
door. You have been walking
351
00:13:29,134 --> 00:13:30,800
past it for 700 years --
what does it say?
352
00:13:30,802 --> 00:13:32,702
That's not
instructions!
353
00:13:32,704 --> 00:13:34,470
The relationship
between the Doctor
354
00:13:34,472 --> 00:13:36,239
and Idris,
who was the TARDIS,
355
00:13:36,241 --> 00:13:39,242
is kind of
interesting
356
00:13:39,244 --> 00:13:40,777
because it is
a love story,
357
00:13:40,779 --> 00:13:42,812
but it goes past
anything
358
00:13:42,814 --> 00:13:44,914
sort of physical,
it's a love story
359
00:13:44,916 --> 00:13:46,482
that is like just
360
00:13:46,484 --> 00:13:47,984
they're bonded
throughout time.
361
00:13:47,986 --> 00:13:49,886
You are not
my mother.
362
00:13:49,888 --> 00:13:51,821
And you are not
my child.
363
00:13:51,823 --> 00:13:54,157
You know, since we're
talking, with mouths --
364
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,125
not really an opportunity that
comes along very often --
365
00:13:56,127 --> 00:13:57,794
I just want to say,
you know, you
366
00:13:57,796 --> 00:13:59,562
have never been
very reliable.
367
00:13:59,564 --> 00:14:00,963
And you have?
368
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:02,498
You didn't always take me
where I wanted to go.
369
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:04,000
No, but I always
took you
370
00:14:04,002 --> 00:14:06,869
where you needed
to go.
371
00:14:06,871 --> 00:14:09,105
You did.
Look at us, talking!
372
00:14:09,107 --> 00:14:10,540
Wouldn't it be amazing,
if we could always talk,
373
00:14:10,542 --> 00:14:12,041
even when you're stuck
inside the box?
374
00:14:12,043 --> 00:14:14,143
You know I'm not
constructed that way.
375
00:14:14,145 --> 00:14:15,945
I exist across all
space and time
376
00:14:15,947 --> 00:14:17,747
and you talk
and run around
377
00:14:17,749 --> 00:14:19,248
and bring home
strays.
378
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:24,487
I do really feel like
they're soulmates.
379
00:14:24,489 --> 00:14:28,591
They're best friends,
they're siblings,
380
00:14:28,593 --> 00:14:29,859
they're family.
381
00:14:29,861 --> 00:14:31,427
They can't live without
each other.
382
00:14:31,429 --> 00:14:33,196
You can't have one
without the other.
383
00:14:33,198 --> 00:14:36,132
In the top 3 saddest
moments of "Doctor Who"
384
00:14:36,134 --> 00:14:39,468
was when the TARDIS had to go
back to being a TARDIS.
385
00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:41,537
She just wanted to say
386
00:14:41,539 --> 00:14:42,872
"Hello."
387
00:14:42,874 --> 00:14:45,374
I'm alive.
388
00:14:45,376 --> 00:14:47,777
"Alive" isn't sad.
389
00:14:47,779 --> 00:14:50,446
It's sad
when it's over.
390
00:14:50,448 --> 00:14:53,549
I'll always be here,
391
00:14:53,551 --> 00:14:56,118
but this is
when we talked
392
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,456
and, now, even that
has come to an end.
393
00:15:00,458 --> 00:15:02,592
There's something
394
00:15:02,594 --> 00:15:04,794
I didn't get
to say to you.
395
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:08,698
Goodbye.
396
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:10,600
No.
397
00:15:10,602 --> 00:15:14,270
I just wanted to say
398
00:15:14,272 --> 00:15:17,740
hello.
399
00:15:17,742 --> 00:15:19,041
Hello, Doctor.
400
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:21,410
Doctor.
401
00:15:21,412 --> 00:15:22,912
It's so very,
very nice
402
00:15:22,914 --> 00:15:24,447
to meet you.
403
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:31,621
Please,
404
00:15:31,623 --> 00:15:33,856
I don't
want you to.
405
00:15:33,858 --> 00:15:35,925
Please.
406
00:15:40,798 --> 00:15:43,733
It's very emotional
when she says
407
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:45,201
"There's something I --"
408
00:15:45,203 --> 00:15:47,036
Oh, God,
I can't even say it.
409
00:15:47,038 --> 00:15:49,205
"There's something I've
always wanted to say to you."
410
00:15:49,207 --> 00:15:53,676
And he assumes
it's goodbye
411
00:15:53,678 --> 00:15:55,311
and it's the opposite.
412
00:15:55,313 --> 00:15:56,779
They've spent
so many years together.
413
00:15:56,781 --> 00:15:58,648
She never just
got to say hello.
414
00:15:58,650 --> 00:16:00,082
But, you know,
415
00:16:00,084 --> 00:16:03,052
they're still going to be
together throughout time.
416
00:16:03,054 --> 00:16:04,553
I was worried,
when I heard
417
00:16:04,555 --> 00:16:06,956
about what the episode
was going to be,
418
00:16:06,958 --> 00:16:09,825
that it would get it wrong
and that would annoy me
419
00:16:09,827 --> 00:16:12,361
because that's not the way
I would envision such a thing.
420
00:16:12,363 --> 00:16:14,897
And it's not what I would
envision, it's better.
421
00:16:14,899 --> 00:16:16,732
It was like a buddy-cop movie
across the Universe.
422
00:16:16,734 --> 00:16:19,835
You're just a long
streak of nothing.
423
00:16:19,837 --> 00:16:21,604
Amy Pond is a groupie.
424
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:23,873
But you're human!
425
00:16:30,675 --> 00:16:32,141
The Doctor
has very firm views
426
00:16:32,143 --> 00:16:34,009
on who can go
onboard the TARDIS
427
00:16:34,011 --> 00:16:36,145
and it's pretty clear,
what they have to be.
428
00:16:36,147 --> 00:16:38,848
They have to be --
obviously, brave
429
00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:40,516
and they have to be clever --
he's bored by stupid people
430
00:16:40,518 --> 00:16:43,018
and a coward would last
two minutes in there.
431
00:16:46,423 --> 00:16:47,923
I hated Donna Noble
when I first met her.
432
00:16:47,925 --> 00:16:49,992
This obnoxious
redheaded woman,
433
00:16:49,994 --> 00:16:53,229
and Donna turned out to be
one of the best companions,
434
00:16:53,231 --> 00:16:55,731
if not the best companion
of the reboot.
435
00:16:55,733 --> 00:16:57,800
She won't take any
of his usual schtick
436
00:16:57,802 --> 00:17:01,003
and she can give
as good as he can get,
437
00:17:01,005 --> 00:17:02,938
so the relationship's
more fun to watch.
438
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:04,406
It was like a buddy-cop
movie like
439
00:17:04,408 --> 00:17:05,674
where they're going across,
you know, the Universe.
440
00:17:05,676 --> 00:17:08,010
It was different
from the other companions.
441
00:17:14,719 --> 00:17:16,185
And you get
this scene
442
00:17:16,187 --> 00:17:17,586
where they're both
kind of stuck.
443
00:17:17,588 --> 00:17:19,288
She's great
at vaudeville
444
00:17:19,290 --> 00:17:20,956
and that's what
this moment is,
445
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:22,424
it's classic
comedy.
446
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,369
They both have
such strong
447
00:17:33,371 --> 00:17:35,871
comedy
backgrounds.
448
00:17:35,873 --> 00:17:38,807
I think the chemistry
between those two
449
00:17:38,809 --> 00:17:41,343
was probably
my favorite.
450
00:17:51,388 --> 00:17:52,554
Are we
interrupting you?
451
00:17:56,227 --> 00:17:58,193
I love the way that,
you know, Donna
452
00:17:58,195 --> 00:18:00,229
would always go like that
and shake her fist.
453
00:18:00,231 --> 00:18:02,197
She was more
challenging, I think,
454
00:18:02,199 --> 00:18:04,833
for the Doctor and that was
a great opportunity
455
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:06,602
to write
some very sparkling
456
00:18:06,604 --> 00:18:07,903
and very,
very funny stuff.
457
00:18:07,905 --> 00:18:09,405
The scene where they have
the confusion about,
458
00:18:09,407 --> 00:18:14,777
you know, "I want to mate"/
"I want a mate" is fantastic.
459
00:18:14,779 --> 00:18:16,545
I just want
a mate.
460
00:18:18,715 --> 00:18:20,616
You just want
to mate?!
461
00:18:20,618 --> 00:18:22,351
I just want
a mate.
462
00:18:22,353 --> 00:18:24,620
You're not mating
with me, sunshine!
463
00:18:24,622 --> 00:18:26,889
A mate,
I want a mate.
464
00:18:26,891 --> 00:18:29,258
Well,
just as well,
465
00:18:29,260 --> 00:18:30,726
because I'm not having
any of that nonsense.
466
00:18:30,728 --> 00:18:33,128
I mean, you're just
a long streak of nothing,
467
00:18:33,130 --> 00:18:35,164
you know,
alien nothing.
468
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:37,833
There we are, then.
Okay.
469
00:18:37,835 --> 00:18:39,368
I think
the pair of them together
470
00:18:39,370 --> 00:18:40,970
were pretty amazing.
471
00:18:40,972 --> 00:18:42,371
It proves that you
don't need to have
472
00:18:42,373 --> 00:18:44,073
romantic tension
to have
473
00:18:44,075 --> 00:18:46,342
a male and a female
character
474
00:18:46,344 --> 00:18:48,277
with a dynamic
475
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:49,611
relationship.
476
00:18:49,613 --> 00:18:51,880
Oh, ha ha!
That's just --
477
00:18:51,882 --> 00:18:53,415
car keys.
What?
478
00:18:53,417 --> 00:18:55,484
I've still got
my mum's car keys.
479
00:18:55,486 --> 00:18:57,753
I won't be a minute.
480
00:18:57,755 --> 00:19:02,491
Donna's end, as a companion,
broke my house.
481
00:19:02,493 --> 00:19:06,895
My wife and I were just
inconsolable.
482
00:19:06,897 --> 00:19:11,433
She basically becomes
a Time Lord herself,
483
00:19:11,435 --> 00:19:14,303
but, because she's
physically human,
484
00:19:14,305 --> 00:19:16,905
she can't handle it and her
brain's going to burn
485
00:19:16,907 --> 00:19:19,141
and the Doctor has to
wipe her memory
486
00:19:19,143 --> 00:19:22,077
of everything
they've done together.
487
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:25,280
Don't make me
go back.
488
00:19:25,282 --> 00:19:27,649
Doctor, please,
489
00:19:27,651 --> 00:19:29,184
please, don't make me
go back!
490
00:19:29,186 --> 00:19:32,888
Donna.
491
00:19:32,890 --> 00:19:35,124
Oh, Donna Noble,
I am so sorry.
492
00:19:37,827 --> 00:19:41,063
But we had
the best of times.
493
00:19:41,065 --> 00:19:43,866
The best.
494
00:19:48,805 --> 00:19:50,339
Goodbye.
495
00:19:50,341 --> 00:19:51,907
No, no, no,
please.
496
00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:54,009
Please, no, no.
No!
497
00:20:01,084 --> 00:20:02,651
No!
498
00:20:02,653 --> 00:20:04,319
She was
a receptionist.
499
00:20:04,321 --> 00:20:05,954
All she ever wanted was
to have adventures
500
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:07,489
and have
an interesting life
501
00:20:07,491 --> 00:20:10,159
and she got that
and she'll never know.
502
00:20:10,161 --> 00:20:11,827
On many occasions,
he says, you know,
503
00:20:11,829 --> 00:20:13,495
"I've ruined people's lives."
He does.
504
00:20:13,497 --> 00:20:15,264
He takes them on these
amazing journeys, but
505
00:20:15,266 --> 00:20:17,199
they always suffer, they always
pay the price, at the end.
506
00:20:17,201 --> 00:20:19,334
She does get a lottery
ticket, in the end,
507
00:20:19,336 --> 00:20:21,336
which I guess is cool,
but can it buy,
508
00:20:21,338 --> 00:20:24,039
you know, a trip to,
you know,
509
00:20:24,041 --> 00:20:26,241
some distant world?
No.
510
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:31,980
The episode where Sarah Jane
came back into "Doctor Who"
511
00:20:31,982 --> 00:20:34,416
was a very emotional
moment for me
512
00:20:34,418 --> 00:20:36,618
because I remember
Sarah so well.
513
00:20:36,620 --> 00:20:38,987
She was part of
"Doctor Who" legend.
514
00:20:38,989 --> 00:20:41,590
I think it was
around about her time
515
00:20:41,592 --> 00:20:44,960
when you heard less
of the term "assistant"
516
00:20:44,962 --> 00:20:46,695
and it went more
to "companion."
517
00:20:46,697 --> 00:20:48,263
She was really
a different kind of companion.
518
00:20:48,265 --> 00:20:50,466
She was a reporter,
she was hardnosed,
519
00:20:50,468 --> 00:20:53,168
she actually, you know,
she could do stuff.
520
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:56,672
She and the Doctor had
a chemistry in the '70s
521
00:20:56,674 --> 00:20:59,141
that the show had not seen
before, or since.
522
00:20:59,143 --> 00:21:00,876
I mean, she's generally
though of
523
00:21:00,878 --> 00:21:02,044
as the best
companion, ever.
524
00:21:02,046 --> 00:21:04,379
When
Sarah Jane Smith came back,
525
00:21:04,381 --> 00:21:08,283
I think, for me, that was
probably the most emotional
526
00:21:08,285 --> 00:21:11,386
"Doctor Who" moment
that I have ever seen.
527
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,627
Hello, Sarah Jane.
528
00:21:18,629 --> 00:21:21,263
It's you.
529
00:21:21,265 --> 00:21:23,065
Oh. Doctor.
530
00:21:23,067 --> 00:21:25,100
Oh, my God, it's you,
it's -- it's --
531
00:21:27,670 --> 00:21:29,004
you've regenerated.
532
00:21:29,006 --> 00:21:31,406
Yeah, half a dozen times,
since we last met.
533
00:21:31,408 --> 00:21:36,111
You look...
534
00:21:36,113 --> 00:21:37,379
Incredible.
535
00:21:37,381 --> 00:21:39,281
So do you.
536
00:21:39,283 --> 00:21:42,017
Hmm.
I got old.
537
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:45,921
That moment
when she sees
538
00:21:45,923 --> 00:21:47,289
David's door
539
00:21:47,291 --> 00:21:48,824
and recognizes him
and knows him
540
00:21:48,826 --> 00:21:51,059
for who he is,
with all those years
541
00:21:51,061 --> 00:21:52,895
of history
between them
542
00:21:52,897 --> 00:21:55,430
was a pretty amazing bit
of television history.
543
00:21:55,432 --> 00:21:58,734
I thought you'd died --
I waited for you,
544
00:21:58,736 --> 00:22:00,869
you didn't come back, and I
thought you must've died.
545
00:22:00,871 --> 00:22:02,237
I lived.
546
00:22:02,239 --> 00:22:03,772
Everyone else died.
547
00:22:03,774 --> 00:22:05,807
What do you mean?
548
00:22:05,809 --> 00:22:07,543
Everyone died,
Sarah.
549
00:22:09,712 --> 00:22:11,914
I can't believe
it's you.
550
00:22:11,916 --> 00:22:14,049
I thought it was
brilliantly done,
551
00:22:14,051 --> 00:22:15,717
brilliantly made,
brilliantly written.
552
00:22:15,719 --> 00:22:18,187
I was like "how
incredible is this!"
553
00:22:18,189 --> 00:22:20,589
Because she has a completely
different regeneration
554
00:22:20,591 --> 00:22:23,225
of the Doctor, first off,
but she still knew it was him.
555
00:22:23,227 --> 00:22:25,460
And what is lovely
about that bond --
556
00:22:25,462 --> 00:22:27,663
it's not a kind of
sexual magnetism,
557
00:22:27,665 --> 00:22:29,665
it's a genuine,
558
00:22:29,667 --> 00:22:32,234
eternal, loving bond.
559
00:22:32,236 --> 00:22:35,204
Sarah Jane and Rose
come face-to-face
560
00:22:35,206 --> 00:22:37,306
and Rose realizes
that Sarah Jane
561
00:22:37,308 --> 00:22:39,708
was kind of one
of his first companions
562
00:22:39,710 --> 00:22:41,777
and Rose is just one
in a long line.
563
00:22:41,779 --> 00:22:44,580
I always sort of wanted,
you know,
564
00:22:44,582 --> 00:22:46,915
Sarah Jane and Rose to sort of
be friends instantly, you know,
565
00:22:46,917 --> 00:22:48,684
but of course not.
566
00:22:48,686 --> 00:22:50,485
Rose, can I give you
a bit of advice?
567
00:22:50,487 --> 00:22:52,287
I've got a feeling
you're about to.
568
00:22:52,289 --> 00:22:53,689
I know how intense
569
00:22:53,691 --> 00:22:55,224
a relationship with
the Doctor can be,
570
00:22:55,226 --> 00:22:56,725
and I don't want you
to feel I'm intruding --
571
00:22:56,727 --> 00:22:58,660
I don't feel threatened by you,
if that's what you mean.
572
00:22:58,662 --> 00:22:59,828
Right, good,
573
00:22:59,830 --> 00:23:00,996
because
I'm not interested
574
00:23:00,998 --> 00:23:02,397
in picking up
where we left off.
575
00:23:02,399 --> 00:23:03,699
No?
576
00:23:03,701 --> 00:23:05,033
With the big sad eyes
and the robot dog --
577
00:23:05,035 --> 00:23:06,368
what else were you
doing last night?
578
00:23:06,370 --> 00:23:07,869
I was just saying
how hard it was --
579
00:23:07,871 --> 00:23:10,772
We got the older,
smart woman
580
00:23:10,774 --> 00:23:13,375
and we got the younger,
like, superhot
581
00:23:13,377 --> 00:23:14,876
kind of --
also smart woman
582
00:23:14,878 --> 00:23:16,044
facing off against
each other.
583
00:23:16,046 --> 00:23:17,379
There was definitely
some tension.
584
00:23:17,381 --> 00:23:19,014
I had no problem
with space stuff.
585
00:23:19,016 --> 00:23:20,482
I saw things
you wouldn't believe.
586
00:23:20,484 --> 00:23:21,683
Try me.
587
00:23:21,685 --> 00:23:23,185
Mummies.
I've met ghosts.
588
00:23:23,187 --> 00:23:25,287
Robots.
Lots of robots.
589
00:23:25,289 --> 00:23:26,955
Slitheen.
In Downing Street.
590
00:23:26,957 --> 00:23:28,357
Daleks!
Met the emperor.
591
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,925
Antimatter monsters.
Gasmasked zombies.
592
00:23:29,927 --> 00:23:32,194
Real living dinosaurs!
Real living werewolf!
593
00:23:32,196 --> 00:23:34,096
The Loch Ness monster!
594
00:23:34,098 --> 00:23:35,364
Seriously?
595
00:23:35,366 --> 00:23:36,498
Oh!
596
00:23:41,237 --> 00:23:43,305
Listen to us.
597
00:23:43,307 --> 00:23:44,973
It's like me
and my mate Shareen.
598
00:23:44,975 --> 00:23:46,508
The only time
we fell out
599
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:48,310
was over a man,
and --
600
00:23:48,312 --> 00:23:50,512
we're arguing
over the Doctor.
601
00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:54,916
It was great because you would
imagine that would happen,
602
00:23:54,918 --> 00:23:57,052
of who's seen the most,
who's done the most,
603
00:23:57,054 --> 00:23:59,154
who's been there the most,
and i.e. who was
604
00:23:59,156 --> 00:24:00,922
more important
to the Doctor.
605
00:24:00,924 --> 00:24:03,558
There's this moment
where they realize
606
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,228
they're united
in how special they are,
607
00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:08,397
for having had
those experiences
608
00:24:08,399 --> 00:24:11,967
and they start laughing
quite madly.
609
00:24:11,969 --> 00:24:14,736
Once they're past
that territorial stage,
610
00:24:14,738 --> 00:24:18,307
they do then become
great friends
611
00:24:18,309 --> 00:24:19,441
and I thought "all right,
that's good.
612
00:24:19,443 --> 00:24:20,776
"That's how I
wanted it to be!
613
00:24:20,778 --> 00:24:23,745
Good!
Glad we got there."
614
00:24:23,747 --> 00:24:25,280
River Song is better
615
00:24:25,282 --> 00:24:27,416
at operating the TARDIS
than the Doctor is.
616
00:24:27,418 --> 00:24:29,751
I just landed her.
She's unpredictable.
617
00:24:29,753 --> 00:24:31,320
Moisturize me.
618
00:24:37,819 --> 00:24:40,120
I think that "Doctor Who's"
one of the very few programs
619
00:24:40,122 --> 00:24:42,789
that writes brilliantly,
gives excellent parts
620
00:24:42,791 --> 00:24:44,591
for female characters.
621
00:24:44,593 --> 00:24:47,427
They're not just
screaming women,
622
00:24:47,429 --> 00:24:49,262
they're not just like
they used to be,
623
00:24:49,264 --> 00:24:52,666
it's not a cliché, it's not
sexist anymore, at all.
624
00:24:52,668 --> 00:24:54,834
In fact,
the parts for women
625
00:24:54,836 --> 00:24:56,403
are better than the parts
for men, a lot of the time.
626
00:24:59,774 --> 00:25:02,976
River Song is
627
00:25:02,978 --> 00:25:05,011
beautiful, glamorous.
628
00:25:05,013 --> 00:25:06,479
I think
she's unpredictable
629
00:25:06,481 --> 00:25:07,981
and you don't know what
she's going to do next
630
00:25:07,983 --> 00:25:09,516
and the fact
she's a murderer
631
00:25:09,518 --> 00:25:11,718
and the fact she's
good, but bad.
632
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,387
You always -- I like
a character like that.
633
00:25:14,389 --> 00:25:17,324
River Song is basically
the female Indiana Jones.
634
00:25:17,326 --> 00:25:20,260
She is so awesome
and badass.
635
00:25:20,262 --> 00:25:23,797
She's smart;
She's human,
636
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:25,498
but not quite.
637
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,866
And she doesn't let him
get away with anything.
638
00:25:26,868 --> 00:25:32,105
She was his wife
when he met her.
639
00:25:32,107 --> 00:25:33,606
They're the blue
stabilizers.
640
00:25:33,608 --> 00:25:36,509
Ugh!
641
00:25:39,147 --> 00:25:41,047
See?
642
00:25:41,049 --> 00:25:45,318
Yeah, well,
it's just boring now, isn't it?
643
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,222
They're boringers.
They're blue...Boringers.
644
00:25:49,224 --> 00:25:51,992
Doctor, how come
she can fly the TARDIS?
645
00:25:51,994 --> 00:25:53,626
You call that flying
the TARDIS? Ha!
646
00:25:53,628 --> 00:25:55,729
River Song is better
at operating the TARDIS
647
00:25:55,731 --> 00:25:57,430
than the Doctor is
648
00:25:57,432 --> 00:25:59,165
and, for
the first time,
649
00:25:59,167 --> 00:26:00,633
you see the Doctor
actually being
650
00:26:00,635 --> 00:26:02,035
quite put out
by that.
651
00:26:02,037 --> 00:26:04,604
Charted the ship
to its destination
652
00:26:04,606 --> 00:26:05,772
and...
653
00:26:07,042 --> 00:26:08,408
Parked us
right alongside.
654
00:26:08,410 --> 00:26:10,877
"Parked" us?
You haven't landed.
655
00:26:10,879 --> 00:26:15,482
Of course we've landed.
I just landed her.
656
00:26:15,484 --> 00:26:17,684
But...It didn't make
the noise.
657
00:26:17,686 --> 00:26:18,918
What noise?
658
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,587
You know, the --
659
00:26:24,693 --> 00:26:26,659
It's not supposed
to make that noise --
660
00:26:26,661 --> 00:26:28,695
you leave
the brakes on.
661
00:26:28,697 --> 00:26:30,597
Yeah, well,
it's a brilliant noise.
662
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:32,465
I love that noise.
663
00:26:32,467 --> 00:26:35,402
I like that the classic noise
that we all associate
664
00:26:35,404 --> 00:26:38,538
with the TARDIS, the fact that
my ringtone is that noise,
665
00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:40,440
turns out that
it's a mistake.
666
00:26:40,442 --> 00:26:44,677
I imagine that that was just
a nice little Steven Moffat gem
667
00:26:44,679 --> 00:26:47,080
for people who have watched
the show for so long.
668
00:26:50,185 --> 00:26:51,418
[ Wheeze
669
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:53,386
What's great about river is
670
00:26:53,388 --> 00:26:56,022
that she's this mysterious
character and, generally,
671
00:26:56,024 --> 00:26:58,925
when the mystery is taken
away from a character,
672
00:26:58,927 --> 00:27:00,460
they become
less interesting.
673
00:27:00,462 --> 00:27:01,928
River becomes more
interesting.
674
00:27:01,930 --> 00:27:05,265
A lovely twist is
when River Song
675
00:27:05,267 --> 00:27:08,234
is about to be shot
by Amy Pond
676
00:27:08,236 --> 00:27:10,503
and, suddenly,
River Song says,
677
00:27:10,505 --> 00:27:12,605
"I'm doing this
because
678
00:27:12,607 --> 00:27:14,040
I am your daughter"
679
00:27:14,042 --> 00:27:17,377
and there's this wonderful
moment of recognition.
680
00:27:17,379 --> 00:27:19,746
No, I still can't
read it.
681
00:27:19,748 --> 00:27:21,848
It's because
it's Gallifreyan
682
00:27:21,850 --> 00:27:24,584
and doesn't
translate.
683
00:27:26,754 --> 00:27:28,455
But this will.
684
00:27:31,859 --> 00:27:33,393
It's your
daughter's name,
685
00:27:33,395 --> 00:27:34,894
in the language
of the forest.
686
00:27:34,896 --> 00:27:36,996
I know
my daughter's name.
687
00:27:36,998 --> 00:27:39,799
Except, they don't have
a word for "Pond,"
688
00:27:39,801 --> 00:27:43,470
because the only water
in the forest is the river.
689
00:27:43,472 --> 00:27:46,873
The Doctor will find
your daughter
690
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:49,008
and he will care for her,
whatever it takes,
691
00:27:49,010 --> 00:27:50,410
and I know that.
692
00:28:01,155 --> 00:28:04,657
It's me.
693
00:28:04,659 --> 00:28:07,961
I'm Melody.
694
00:28:07,963 --> 00:28:10,630
I'm your daughter.
695
00:28:10,632 --> 00:28:13,066
That reveal
696
00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:17,437
was another
Moffat moment
697
00:28:17,439 --> 00:28:20,306
that I got at the exact
instant he wanted.
698
00:28:20,308 --> 00:28:22,041
Holy crap.
This whole time, really?
699
00:28:22,043 --> 00:28:23,576
The whole time.
700
00:28:23,578 --> 00:28:25,612
Once you see it,
you're like "of course!
701
00:28:25,614 --> 00:28:28,047
Like Melody, Song;
Pond, River"
702
00:28:28,049 --> 00:28:29,215
and you feel
like such an idiot.
703
00:28:29,217 --> 00:28:31,417
It was a good little
surprise, there,
704
00:28:31,419 --> 00:28:33,052
Steven Moffat.
705
00:28:33,054 --> 00:28:34,487
It makes perfect
sense now.
706
00:28:34,489 --> 00:28:35,855
Makes perfect sense.
707
00:28:39,226 --> 00:28:42,262
The Lady Cassandra is
the last human, self-described.
708
00:28:42,264 --> 00:28:43,796
At this point,
she doesn't look
709
00:28:43,798 --> 00:28:45,265
anything like a human.
710
00:28:45,267 --> 00:28:46,799
She's had so many
plastic surgeries
711
00:28:46,801 --> 00:28:51,070
that she's literally just
a sheet of skin,
712
00:28:51,072 --> 00:28:53,873
with eyes and a mouth
and nose holes.
713
00:28:53,875 --> 00:28:55,708
Because she had her
chin removed
714
00:28:55,710 --> 00:28:57,277
because she said
it made her look fat.
715
00:28:57,279 --> 00:28:59,879
She's not unlike
women I've met.
716
00:28:59,881 --> 00:29:01,414
I lived in Hollywood
for eight years.
717
00:29:01,416 --> 00:29:04,384
There's this wonderful scene
where all these dignitaries
718
00:29:04,386 --> 00:29:07,120
from around the Universe
are coming together,
719
00:29:07,122 --> 00:29:10,190
they're converging to see
the death of planet Earth.
720
00:29:10,192 --> 00:29:12,792
And then, they wheel out
a tarp of skin
721
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:16,062
named Lady Cassandra, the last
human to ever be alive.
722
00:29:16,064 --> 00:29:20,934
The Lady Cassandra
O'Brien.Delta17.
723
00:29:20,936 --> 00:29:23,169
Oh, now, don't stare.
724
00:29:23,171 --> 00:29:25,004
I know, I know,
it's shocking, isn't it?
725
00:29:25,006 --> 00:29:28,541
I've had my chin
completely taken away,
726
00:29:28,543 --> 00:29:30,610
and look
at the difference.
727
00:29:30,612 --> 00:29:32,645
Look how thin I am.
728
00:29:32,647 --> 00:29:34,948
Thin and dainty.
729
00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:37,183
I don't look a day
over 2000.
730
00:29:37,185 --> 00:29:39,018
Moisturize me,
moisturize me.
731
00:29:41,523 --> 00:29:43,356
Truly,
732
00:29:43,358 --> 00:29:45,391
I am the last human.
733
00:29:45,393 --> 00:29:48,161
My father was a Texan.
My mother was from --
734
00:29:48,163 --> 00:29:51,598
She has been
stretched so far
735
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,601
that she is literally
like a pinned
736
00:29:54,603 --> 00:29:57,103
piece of leather,
drying out.
737
00:29:57,105 --> 00:29:59,172
You know what?
They sometimes bring up
738
00:29:59,174 --> 00:30:01,674
the concept "if you were
the last woman on Earth."
739
00:30:01,676 --> 00:30:03,943
Even if she was the
last human on Earth,
740
00:30:03,945 --> 00:30:05,445
I don't know what I would
be able to do with her.
741
00:30:05,447 --> 00:30:06,646
No tears.
742
00:30:06,648 --> 00:30:09,682
I'm sorry.
743
00:30:09,684 --> 00:30:12,418
And she arrives with
all these medical staff
744
00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:14,988
who have to spray her
and keep her moist.
745
00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:16,956
If someone's not there
to spray water on her,
746
00:30:16,958 --> 00:30:20,260
she dries up and cracks
and explodes into, like,
747
00:30:20,262 --> 00:30:22,895
dust particles,
which is disgusting.
748
00:30:22,897 --> 00:30:25,265
Moisturize me.
749
00:30:25,267 --> 00:30:27,567
She's really, really proud
of being the last human
750
00:30:27,569 --> 00:30:29,035
and sort of raises
all these issues
751
00:30:29,037 --> 00:30:31,204
about what it actually
means, to be human.
752
00:30:31,206 --> 00:30:34,707
There is something,
a good science fiction quirk
753
00:30:34,709 --> 00:30:38,711
of like, you know, the last
human in the Universe
754
00:30:38,713 --> 00:30:40,780
and she's just not
human anymore, right?
755
00:30:40,782 --> 00:30:42,782
And she's rendered
inhuman
756
00:30:42,784 --> 00:30:44,317
physically,
but also because
757
00:30:44,319 --> 00:30:47,320
she's a villain,
she's a horrible thing.
758
00:30:47,322 --> 00:30:49,455
Lady Cassandra tries
to basically
759
00:30:49,457 --> 00:30:52,892
destroy the platform and
all the inhabitants in it
760
00:30:52,894 --> 00:30:55,495
and, because
of her bad move,
761
00:30:55,497 --> 00:30:57,330
the Doctor just
lets her dry out --
762
00:30:57,332 --> 00:30:58,798
no Dove moisturizer
for her --
763
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,366
and then she starts
drying out so much
764
00:31:00,368 --> 00:31:02,335
that she just explodes.
765
00:31:02,337 --> 00:31:03,770
Pretty gruesomely,
too.
766
00:31:03,772 --> 00:31:05,638
People have died, Cassandra.
You murdered them.
767
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,206
It depends on your
definition of "people,"
768
00:31:07,208 --> 00:31:09,609
and that's enough of
a technicality
769
00:31:09,611 --> 00:31:11,077
to keep your lawyers
dizzy for centuries.
770
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:15,648
Take me to court,
then, Doctor,
771
00:31:15,650 --> 00:31:18,451
and watch me smile
and cry and flutter.
772
00:31:18,453 --> 00:31:20,486
And creak?
773
00:31:20,488 --> 00:31:22,588
And what?
774
00:31:22,590 --> 00:31:24,057
"Creak."
You're creaking.
775
00:31:24,059 --> 00:31:26,225
What?
776
00:31:26,227 --> 00:31:28,528
Ah!
I-I'm drying out.
777
00:31:28,530 --> 00:31:31,164
Oh, sweet heavens.
Moisturize me!
778
00:31:31,166 --> 00:31:33,466
Moisturize me!
Where are my surgeons?
779
00:31:33,468 --> 00:31:36,002
My lovely boys!
It's too hot!
780
00:31:36,004 --> 00:31:38,171
You raised
the temperature.
781
00:31:38,173 --> 00:31:39,739
Have pity.
782
00:31:39,741 --> 00:31:42,275
Moisturize me!
783
00:31:42,277 --> 00:31:43,376
Oh, oh, Doctor!
784
00:31:43,378 --> 00:31:45,678
Help her.
785
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,048
Everything has its time
and everything dies.
786
00:31:49,050 --> 00:31:51,884
I'm...too...
787
00:31:51,886 --> 00:31:53,619
young.
788
00:31:53,621 --> 00:31:56,823
And I love
789
00:31:56,825 --> 00:31:58,358
how the Doctor's
so callous with her.
790
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,126
Like when Rose is like
"Aren't you going to save her?"
791
00:32:00,128 --> 00:32:02,995
And he's just like
"Everything has an end."
792
00:32:02,997 --> 00:32:05,998
Poof! "Aah!"
Bits of liver flying out.
793
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,667
Eccleston,
as the Doctor,
794
00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:09,135
just kills her,
you know?
795
00:32:09,137 --> 00:32:12,105
Like, he doesn't
have any problem
796
00:32:12,107 --> 00:32:14,307
with saying
this is justice --
797
00:32:14,309 --> 00:32:15,975
she has to die
for being bad guy.
798
00:32:15,977 --> 00:32:18,811
The way that he deals with her,
versus the way that
799
00:32:18,813 --> 00:32:21,114
the tenth Doctor
will later deal with her
800
00:32:21,116 --> 00:32:22,615
really kind of
speaks volumes
801
00:32:22,617 --> 00:32:24,884
about the difference
between the two of them.
802
00:32:24,886 --> 00:32:26,719
They just create
fully grown human beings
803
00:32:26,721 --> 00:32:28,454
out of tissue samples.
804
00:32:28,456 --> 00:32:30,256
Hello, Dad.
805
00:32:30,258 --> 00:32:32,291
You just get the sense that
you shouldn't mess with her.
806
00:32:32,293 --> 00:32:34,327
That was
two years ago!
807
00:32:40,863 --> 00:32:42,529
The thing that I think is
great about "Doctor Who" is
808
00:32:42,531 --> 00:32:44,531
that, over the years,
the women
809
00:32:44,533 --> 00:32:46,233
have always been
really smart, you know?
810
00:32:46,235 --> 00:32:47,701
They've never been
811
00:32:47,703 --> 00:32:49,636
horrible depictions
812
00:32:49,638 --> 00:32:51,371
of femininity,
813
00:32:51,373 --> 00:32:52,673
they've always been
really strong.
814
00:32:56,144 --> 00:32:57,678
In this 2-part episode,
815
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,680
"Human Nature" and
"The Family of Blood,"
816
00:32:59,682 --> 00:33:03,383
the Doctor has to
take on human form
817
00:33:03,385 --> 00:33:05,085
and not realize that
he's the Doctor
818
00:33:05,087 --> 00:33:07,054
and, of course, he falls in love
with this incredible woman
819
00:33:07,056 --> 00:33:08,655
called Joan Redfern.
820
00:33:08,657 --> 00:33:10,157
Joan, lovely Joan.
821
00:33:10,159 --> 00:33:11,858
What I like about her --
she's just a very normal lady
822
00:33:11,860 --> 00:33:13,193
and someone who's
quite sensitive.
823
00:33:13,195 --> 00:33:14,394
"Joan."
Joan?
824
00:33:14,396 --> 00:33:15,729
That's my name.
Well, obviously.
825
00:33:15,731 --> 00:33:17,764
Everything has to be done
in the right way.
826
00:33:17,766 --> 00:33:19,733
She doesn't want to be seen
to be being unseemly.
827
00:33:19,735 --> 00:33:22,502
I thinks he's so sympathetic
and she's so beautiful,
828
00:33:22,504 --> 00:33:24,671
like, there's so much humanity
to that portrayal.
829
00:33:24,673 --> 00:33:28,542
Joan is a perfect
woman for him,
830
00:33:28,544 --> 00:33:30,043
if he's not a Time Lord.
831
00:33:30,045 --> 00:33:32,179
Unfortunately, he is.
832
00:33:32,181 --> 00:33:34,147
Truth be told, when
it's just you and me,
833
00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:36,984
I'd much rather you
called me "Nurse Redfern."
834
00:33:36,986 --> 00:33:39,119
"Matron" sounds rather,
well, matronly.
835
00:33:39,121 --> 00:33:41,488
Ah -- ah, "Nurse Redfern"
it is, then.
836
00:33:41,490 --> 00:33:43,190
Though, we've known each
other all of two months,
837
00:33:43,192 --> 00:33:44,624
you could even say
"Joan."
838
00:33:44,626 --> 00:33:45,726
Joan?
839
00:33:45,728 --> 00:33:47,928
That's my name.
Well, obviously.
840
00:33:47,930 --> 00:33:49,896
The cool thing about when
the Doctor was with Joan is
841
00:33:49,898 --> 00:33:51,398
that he was just
completely human
842
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,600
and we finally
get to see
843
00:33:53,602 --> 00:33:55,802
what the Doctor
would be like,
844
00:33:55,804 --> 00:33:58,739
if he wasn't
a charming,
845
00:33:58,741 --> 00:34:00,540
all-knowing,
846
00:34:00,542 --> 00:34:02,275
all-adventure-all-
the-time kind of guy.
847
00:34:02,277 --> 00:34:04,411
And, it turns out, he's
just a bumbling nerd.
848
00:34:04,413 --> 00:34:07,280
Well,
849
00:34:07,282 --> 00:34:08,648
I should imagine
that you'd be, um --
850
00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:10,417
I mean, I never thought
you'd be one for --
851
00:34:10,419 --> 00:34:12,052
I mean, there's no reason
why you shouldn't.
852
00:34:12,054 --> 00:34:13,787
If you do --
you may not --
853
00:34:13,789 --> 00:34:15,789
I --
I probably won't.
854
00:34:15,791 --> 00:34:17,324
But even if I did,
then I couldn't --
855
00:34:17,326 --> 00:34:19,292
um, I mean, I wouldn't want to --
The stairs.
856
00:34:19,294 --> 00:34:21,128
What about the stairs?
They're right behind you.
857
00:34:21,130 --> 00:34:22,496
Ooh!
858
00:34:24,165 --> 00:34:26,600
Without the Time Lord
knowledge,
859
00:34:26,602 --> 00:34:30,771
our Doctor is very
insecure
860
00:34:30,773 --> 00:34:33,640
and Joan Redfern
861
00:34:33,642 --> 00:34:35,609
kind of coaxes it
out of him.
862
00:34:35,611 --> 00:34:38,111
And you can see that,
for the first time,
863
00:34:38,113 --> 00:34:39,679
the Doctor
is falling in love
864
00:34:39,681 --> 00:34:41,615
as a human being
865
00:34:41,617 --> 00:34:43,450
and he falls in love
with her.
866
00:34:43,452 --> 00:34:46,253
But when the Doctor became
the Doctor again,
867
00:34:46,255 --> 00:34:48,188
Joan was like
"I don't want any of that"
868
00:34:48,190 --> 00:34:49,823
because it wasn't
the same person.
869
00:34:49,825 --> 00:34:51,525
I can't.
870
00:34:51,527 --> 00:34:52,859
Please come with me.
I can't.
871
00:34:52,861 --> 00:34:56,830
Why not?
872
00:34:56,832 --> 00:35:01,635
John Smith is dead,
and you look like him.
873
00:35:01,637 --> 00:35:05,839
But he's here,
874
00:35:05,841 --> 00:35:08,308
inside,
875
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:10,010
if you look
in my eyes.
876
00:35:12,413 --> 00:35:13,814
Answer me this --
877
00:35:13,816 --> 00:35:15,248
just one question,
878
00:35:15,250 --> 00:35:17,651
that's all --
879
00:35:17,653 --> 00:35:20,554
if the Doctor had never
visited us, if he'd
880
00:35:20,556 --> 00:35:26,359
never chosen this place,
on a whim...
881
00:35:26,361 --> 00:35:28,228
would anyone here
have died?
882
00:35:30,731 --> 00:35:32,699
Why can't she
come with him?
883
00:35:32,701 --> 00:35:34,234
Well, because
she doesn't want
884
00:35:34,236 --> 00:35:37,304
to marry an alien being, she
wants this nice teacher guy.
885
00:35:37,306 --> 00:35:39,673
All right. Yeah,
he can't have everything.
886
00:35:39,675 --> 00:35:41,441
Sorry, Mr. Magic.
887
00:35:41,443 --> 00:35:42,943
She decides not
to go with him
888
00:35:42,945 --> 00:35:46,446
because she liked the man
who he was before.
889
00:35:46,448 --> 00:35:48,181
She says no. She's like
"because you're not
890
00:35:48,183 --> 00:35:49,683
"the guy I fell
in love with.
891
00:35:49,685 --> 00:35:52,919
"You are someone who
selfishly landed here
892
00:35:52,921 --> 00:35:54,721
"and got people killed
893
00:35:54,723 --> 00:35:57,290
and that is not the man
I fell in love with."
894
00:35:57,292 --> 00:35:59,326
So, once again,
we have
895
00:35:59,328 --> 00:36:02,095
a woman refusing the Doctor,
which is very rare.
896
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,534
"The Doctor's Daughter"
is Jenny
897
00:36:07,536 --> 00:36:10,170
and she pops up almost
literally out of nowhere.
898
00:36:10,172 --> 00:36:12,205
The Doctor shows up
on this planet
899
00:36:12,207 --> 00:36:13,974
and they take
a tissue sample
900
00:36:13,976 --> 00:36:16,009
and, suddenly,
there she is, full-grown.
901
00:36:16,011 --> 00:36:19,880
- What's going on?
- Leave him alone!
902
00:36:19,882 --> 00:36:22,649
They stick his hand
in this weird --
903
00:36:22,651 --> 00:36:24,851
I don't know,
contraption
904
00:36:24,853 --> 00:36:27,454
and, while he's
going through it,
905
00:36:27,456 --> 00:36:28,455
he's explaining to us
that, like,
906
00:36:28,457 --> 00:36:29,990
"oh! It's taking
a tissue sample."
907
00:36:29,992 --> 00:36:32,292
Ow!
And extrapolated it.
908
00:36:32,294 --> 00:36:33,894
Some kind
of accelerator?
909
00:36:33,896 --> 00:36:34,995
Agh!
910
00:36:36,898 --> 00:36:38,365
Are you
all right?
911
00:36:38,367 --> 00:36:40,634
I don't know.
912
00:36:40,636 --> 00:36:42,235
That's just --
913
00:36:42,237 --> 00:36:43,370
and then,
all of a sudden,
914
00:36:43,372 --> 00:36:47,407
this, like, gorgeous
16-year-old girl
915
00:36:47,409 --> 00:36:49,075
walks out of this
916
00:36:49,077 --> 00:36:51,211
unit
and he's like
917
00:36:51,213 --> 00:36:52,512
"Oh! That's
my daughter."
918
00:36:54,749 --> 00:36:57,050
Arm yourself.
919
00:36:57,052 --> 00:36:59,452
Where did she
come from?
920
00:36:59,454 --> 00:37:01,488
From me.
921
00:37:01,490 --> 00:37:03,657
From you?
922
00:37:03,659 --> 00:37:04,824
How?
923
00:37:04,826 --> 00:37:06,326
Who is she?
924
00:37:06,328 --> 00:37:08,094
Well, she's --
925
00:37:08,096 --> 00:37:11,231
well...
926
00:37:11,233 --> 00:37:13,033
She's my daughter.
927
00:37:13,035 --> 00:37:16,036
Hello, Dad.
928
00:37:16,038 --> 00:37:18,638
They just create
fully grown human beings
929
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,542
out of tissue samples
from other people,
930
00:37:22,544 --> 00:37:24,010
which is weird.
931
00:37:24,012 --> 00:37:26,179
Now he's a father,
which is a great way
932
00:37:26,181 --> 00:37:27,681
to have a kid.
933
00:37:27,683 --> 00:37:30,050
All those years, he didn't
have to not sleep
934
00:37:30,052 --> 00:37:31,518
because the kid was
up, crying,
935
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,019
or having to go to school
because of chickenpox.
936
00:37:33,021 --> 00:37:34,888
Hello, Dad.
937
00:37:34,890 --> 00:37:36,690
In the same way that Jenny
came out of nowhere,
938
00:37:36,692 --> 00:37:38,191
at the end
of the episode,
939
00:37:38,193 --> 00:37:39,726
she kind of awesomely
goes into nowhere.
940
00:37:39,728 --> 00:37:42,362
It's very sad.
The Doctor gets a clone
941
00:37:42,364 --> 00:37:44,064
and so then there's
another Time Lord
942
00:37:44,066 --> 00:37:46,233
and you think about the
potential for adventures
943
00:37:46,235 --> 00:37:48,668
and everything that he could've
taught her and shown her
944
00:37:48,670 --> 00:37:50,403
and then it's snatched
away so quickly.
945
00:37:50,405 --> 00:37:52,606
Jenny,
be strong, now.
946
00:37:52,608 --> 00:37:54,541
You need to hold on.
Do you hear me?
947
00:37:54,543 --> 00:37:58,111
We've got things to do,
you and me, eh?
948
00:37:58,113 --> 00:38:00,814
Eh?
949
00:38:00,816 --> 00:38:04,184
We can go anywhere.
950
00:38:04,186 --> 00:38:07,988
Everywhere.
You choose.
951
00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:10,090
That sounds good.
952
00:38:10,092 --> 00:38:13,627
In kind of a real-life
"Doctor Who" episode,
953
00:38:13,629 --> 00:38:16,229
Georgia Moffett,
who plays Jenny,
954
00:38:16,231 --> 00:38:18,164
is the daughter
of Peter Davison,
955
00:38:18,166 --> 00:38:19,699
who's the fifth Doctor;
956
00:38:19,701 --> 00:38:21,134
and she's the wife
of David Tennant,
957
00:38:21,136 --> 00:38:23,103
who is
the tenth Doctor.
958
00:38:23,105 --> 00:38:26,473
So it's this kind of amazing
meeting of real life
959
00:38:26,475 --> 00:38:28,008
and the fiction of
"Doctor Who."
960
00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:31,344
There's so much weird
sort of "Doctor Who" looping
961
00:38:31,346 --> 00:38:34,281
going on with that
that it's --
962
00:38:34,283 --> 00:38:37,384
he married
his own daughter...
963
00:38:37,386 --> 00:38:39,019
He married his own
daughter.
964
00:38:39,021 --> 00:38:40,553
But I'm fine with it.
965
00:38:40,555 --> 00:38:44,557
It is all wrapped up
in timey-wimey in real life.
966
00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:46,059
Yeah, I --
967
00:38:46,061 --> 00:38:48,194
it's a conundrum.
968
00:38:48,196 --> 00:38:49,663
Amy Pond was
969
00:38:49,665 --> 00:38:50,864
supersexy
970
00:38:50,866 --> 00:38:52,332
and feisty.
971
00:38:52,334 --> 00:38:54,567
She states what she wants
and goes for it.
972
00:38:54,569 --> 00:38:56,469
I really wasn't
suggesting anything
973
00:38:56,471 --> 00:38:57,904
quite so...
long-term.
974
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:06,579
I think what the show does
a really great job of is
975
00:39:06,581 --> 00:39:11,384
not having the women
just sort of be
976
00:39:11,386 --> 00:39:14,087
these passive accessories
977
00:39:14,089 --> 00:39:15,855
to the male lead
of the show.
978
00:39:15,857 --> 00:39:19,058
They're always very strong
women, in their own way.
979
00:39:22,396 --> 00:39:26,099
Amy Pond was the first
companion since Rose
980
00:39:26,101 --> 00:39:27,667
to just be like
supersexy
981
00:39:27,669 --> 00:39:29,536
and hot
982
00:39:29,538 --> 00:39:31,271
and feisty and crazy.
983
00:39:31,273 --> 00:39:33,640
I love the fact that she's
got this edge to her
984
00:39:33,642 --> 00:39:36,609
that's really, like, kickarse,
like, she's really --
985
00:39:36,611 --> 00:39:38,111
like, you just
get the sense
986
00:39:38,113 --> 00:39:39,646
that you shouldn't
mess with her.
987
00:39:39,648 --> 00:39:41,548
Amy's interesting because
she's the first companion
988
00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:43,316
we meet as a child.
989
00:39:43,318 --> 00:39:45,885
He showed up
when she was a kid,
990
00:39:45,887 --> 00:39:47,554
said,
"Oh, come with me,"
991
00:39:47,556 --> 00:39:50,590
she said okay, and then
he ditched her for 12 years
992
00:39:50,592 --> 00:39:52,425
And then ditched
her again for 2 years.
993
00:39:52,427 --> 00:39:54,260
All that stuff
that happened --
994
00:39:54,262 --> 00:39:56,029
the hospital,
the spaceships,
995
00:39:56,031 --> 00:39:57,530
Prisoner Zero --
Oh, don't worry,
996
00:39:57,532 --> 00:39:59,532
that's just the beginning,
there's loads more.
997
00:39:59,534 --> 00:40:01,000
Yeah, but those things,
those amazing things,
998
00:40:01,002 --> 00:40:03,736
all that stuff.
999
00:40:06,106 --> 00:40:08,975
That was
two years ago!
1000
00:40:08,977 --> 00:40:10,410
Ohh...Oops.
Yeah.
1001
00:40:10,412 --> 00:40:12,412
So that's --
14 years!
1002
00:40:12,414 --> 00:40:13,880
14 years since
fish custard.
1003
00:40:13,882 --> 00:40:15,415
Amy Pond,
the girl who waited,
1004
00:40:15,417 --> 00:40:17,717
you've waited
long enough.
1005
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,153
When I was a kid,
1006
00:40:20,155 --> 00:40:21,588
you said there was
a swimming pool.
1007
00:40:21,590 --> 00:40:23,289
She's been waiting
all her life for him
1008
00:40:23,291 --> 00:40:25,291
and so, when,
1009
00:40:25,293 --> 00:40:27,260
finally,
the opportunity
1010
00:40:27,262 --> 00:40:28,928
comes up,
she jumps at it.
1011
00:40:28,930 --> 00:40:30,730
And then waits
another two years
1012
00:40:30,732 --> 00:40:31,898
and jumps
at it again.
1013
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:34,434
There's something
weird about her,
1014
00:40:34,436 --> 00:40:36,102
that she wants
to stick with that guy.
1015
00:40:54,388 --> 00:40:56,356
The previous companions
for the Doctor
1016
00:40:56,358 --> 00:40:58,658
have been a lover,
they've been a friend,
1017
00:40:58,660 --> 00:41:00,660
they've been an admirer,
and Amy Pond is
1018
00:41:00,662 --> 00:41:02,362
a groupie,
1019
00:41:02,364 --> 00:41:04,364
she's a fan.
1020
00:41:04,366 --> 00:41:07,066
She's been a fan of the Doctor
since she was a kid.
1021
00:41:07,068 --> 00:41:09,936
And people thought she was crazy
for her whole adult life
1022
00:41:09,938 --> 00:41:11,437
because she keeps talking
about this guy
1023
00:41:11,439 --> 00:41:13,106
who's clearly a made-up,
imaginary, friend.
1024
00:41:13,108 --> 00:41:15,608
That's the most interesting
setup for a companion
1025
00:41:15,610 --> 00:41:17,410
that they've ever had,
I think,
1026
00:41:17,412 --> 00:41:20,780
having her have an imaginary
friend all her life
1027
00:41:20,782 --> 00:41:25,685
who then comes to life,
essentially.
1028
00:41:25,687 --> 00:41:27,453
That's the magic
of that show.
1029
00:41:27,455 --> 00:41:29,489
Amy's one of those great,
great characters
1030
00:41:29,491 --> 00:41:32,525
whereby she doesn't need
to be rescued
1031
00:41:32,527 --> 00:41:34,060
by the Doctor
all the time.
1032
00:41:34,062 --> 00:41:36,396
Amy Pond is nothing,
if not strong-willed
1033
00:41:36,398 --> 00:41:38,531
and willing to make
her own choices,
1034
00:41:38,533 --> 00:41:40,633
regardless of
what anyone else says.
1035
00:41:40,635 --> 00:41:44,037
She just states what
she wants and goes for it.
1036
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:48,007
So when she wants to be
with the Doctor,
1037
00:41:48,009 --> 00:41:50,076
she hits on him.
1038
00:41:50,078 --> 00:41:51,577
She tries to get
the Doctor.
1039
00:41:51,579 --> 00:41:53,846
And not even in, like,
an "I love you, Doctor,
1040
00:41:53,848 --> 00:41:55,581
let's get married,"
just in a "come on,
1041
00:41:55,583 --> 00:41:57,383
I got one night left,
let's do it."
1042
00:41:57,385 --> 00:42:00,320
About who...
I want.
1043
00:42:00,322 --> 00:42:03,089
Oh, right, yeah.
1044
00:42:04,892 --> 00:42:06,392
No, still
not getting it.
1045
00:42:06,394 --> 00:42:09,829
Doctor, in a word,
in one, very simple word
1046
00:42:09,831 --> 00:42:11,531
even you
can understand --
1047
00:42:11,533 --> 00:42:12,699
No!
1048
00:42:12,701 --> 00:42:14,100
You're getting married
in the morning!
1049
00:42:14,102 --> 00:42:15,568
Well, the morning's
a long time away.
1050
00:42:15,570 --> 00:42:16,936
What are we going to
do about that?
1051
00:42:16,938 --> 00:42:19,272
Amy, listen to me --
i am 907 years old.
1052
00:42:19,274 --> 00:42:20,773
Do you understand
what that means?
1053
00:42:20,775 --> 00:42:22,241
It's been a while?
1054
00:42:22,243 --> 00:42:23,810
Yeah. No, no, no!
I'm 907, and look at me!
1055
00:42:23,812 --> 00:42:25,244
I don't get older,
I just change.
1056
00:42:25,246 --> 00:42:27,046
You get older,
I don't,
1057
00:42:27,048 --> 00:42:28,681
and this
can't ever work.
1058
00:42:28,683 --> 00:42:30,616
Oh! Aw, you are
sweet, Doctor,
1059
00:42:30,618 --> 00:42:32,385
but I really wasn't
suggesting anything
1060
00:42:32,387 --> 00:42:34,220
quite so...
long-term.
1061
00:42:37,925 --> 00:42:39,992
But you're human!
You're Amy!
1062
00:42:39,994 --> 00:42:41,527
You're getting married
in the morning!
1063
00:42:41,529 --> 00:42:44,063
In the morning.
Doctor?
1064
00:42:44,065 --> 00:42:46,966
She is getting married to one
of the sweetest, nicest guys
1065
00:42:46,968 --> 00:42:50,703
in the world the next day and
she's coming on to an alien.
1066
00:42:50,705 --> 00:42:53,039
That's not cool.
That's not cool at all.
1067
00:42:53,041 --> 00:42:55,641
I was very excited
about that scene,
1068
00:42:55,643 --> 00:42:57,310
just because why not
get a jump on the Doctor,
1069
00:42:57,312 --> 00:42:59,078
see what that's like,
before you get married?
1070
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,181
Although the Doctor is
always very sexy,
1071
00:43:02,183 --> 00:43:04,584
you kind of never really
think of him that way,
1072
00:43:04,586 --> 00:43:06,085
so when Amy actually
jumped him,
1073
00:43:06,087 --> 00:43:08,721
I was like "this is
inappropriate, Amy.
1074
00:43:08,723 --> 00:43:10,223
"What are you doing?
1075
00:43:10,225 --> 00:43:11,691
It's the Doctor,"
you know?
1076
00:43:11,693 --> 00:43:13,292
Of course, the other half
of my brain was
1077
00:43:13,294 --> 00:43:15,161
extremely jealous.
1078
00:43:15,163 --> 00:43:17,630
In the modern era,
"Doctor Who" has been
1079
00:43:17,632 --> 00:43:19,966
an interesting show
for female characters.
1080
00:43:19,968 --> 00:43:22,635
I'm your daughter.
1081
00:43:22,637 --> 00:43:24,871
These people end up
solving things
1082
00:43:24,873 --> 00:43:26,205
and outsmarting
the Doctor
1083
00:43:26,207 --> 00:43:27,974
and helping the Doctor.
1084
00:43:27,976 --> 00:43:29,809
But I always took you
where you needed to go.
1085
00:43:29,811 --> 00:43:31,210
They have their
vulnerabilities.
1086
00:43:31,212 --> 00:43:33,846
I love you.
1087
00:43:33,848 --> 00:43:35,982
And, perhaps, it's because
of those vulnerabilities
1088
00:43:35,984 --> 00:43:37,917
that Doctor Who
1089
00:43:37,919 --> 00:43:39,419
can experience
1090
00:43:39,421 --> 00:43:40,887
human emotions
a bit more.
1091
00:43:40,889 --> 00:43:43,623
Oh, Donna Noble,
I am so sorry.
1092
00:43:43,625 --> 00:43:46,459
I think it's
a really good thing
1093
00:43:46,461 --> 00:43:48,895
this show has done
throughout time,
1094
00:43:48,897 --> 00:43:50,763
for female characters
on TV.
