One of the greatest things
about "Doctor Who" is

that he can travel

goes in with the Doctor is

to a platform where they
can witness the end of Earth.
47
00:01:39,576 --> 00:01:42,577
It really kind of
hammers home the idea of

that she's on

she goes is

to watch the death
of her home.
107
00:03:55,878 --> 00:03:57,912

a certain symmetry

in a way.

You know, he takes her to
the end of the Earth, right?
112
00:04:05,788 --> 00:04:07,622
It's sort of that
romantic promise.
113
00:04:07,624 --> 00:04:09,123
Is that romantic,

00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,060

121
00:04:24,273 --> 00:04:26,140

is her first experience
inside a spaceship

00:04:39,522 --> 00:04:41,222

her somewhere simple,

the end of the world.
129
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,727

to the kind of experience
that Rose is going to have.
135
00:05:07,483 --> 00:05:08,983
Then he goes "right, so I'm
going to take you back now,
136
00:05:08,985 --> 00:05:11,619
to your council state. Bye,"
and is surprised
137
00:05:11,621 --> 00:05:13,487
that she goes
"I'm not going back there.
138
00:05:13,489 --> 00:05:15,423
You've shown me everything.
I'm coming with you."
139
00:05:15,425 --> 00:05:17,224
Rose proved herself
very quickly,
140
00:05:17,226 --> 00:05:20,361
that she was worthy
of traveling with him
141
00:05:20,363 --> 00:05:24,799
by kind of accepting all
the bizarre things going on,
142
00:05:24,801 --> 00:05:27,468
rather quickly.
143
00:05:35,911 --> 00:05:38,412

The Starship UK idea's
a great one
150
00:05:54,931 --> 00:05:58,566

that they're actually
177
00:07:02,899 --> 00:07:07,401
being supported
by a kindly old savior.
178
00:07:07,403 --> 00:07:10,237
The way Amy solves
this dilemma
179
00:07:10,239 --> 00:07:13,274
that Starship UK
is dealing with
180
00:07:13,276 --> 00:07:16,310
is really our first
major glimpse
181
00:07:16,312 --> 00:07:19,180
inside who Amy is,
as a person.
182
00:07:19,182 --> 00:07:20,881
Aah!
183
00:07:23,351 --> 00:07:25,219
Amy, what
have you done?
184
00:07:25,221 --> 00:07:27,421
Nothing at all.
185
00:07:27,423 --> 00:07:29,657
Am I right?
186
00:07:29,659 --> 00:07:31,058
We've increased
speed.
187
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:32,560
Yeah, well, you've
stopped torturing
188
00:07:32,562 --> 00:07:34,595
the pilot --
got to help.
189
00:07:34,597 --> 00:07:37,898
Because she's the one
who doesn't see this
190
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:40,234
as a dilemma
of choosing
191
00:07:40,236 --> 00:07:43,470
the Starwhale
over the people.
192
00:07:43,472 --> 00:07:45,973
She really believes
that, if we just stop
193
00:07:45,975 --> 00:07:48,342
torturing this creature,
he's going to work
194
00:07:48,344 --> 00:07:50,177
with us,
not against us.
195
00:07:50,179 --> 00:07:51,645
It came because
it couldn't stand
196
00:07:51,647 --> 00:07:53,147
to watch
your children cry.
197
00:07:53,149 --> 00:07:56,617
What if you were
really old,
198
00:07:56,619 --> 00:07:58,719
and really kind
and alone,
199
00:07:58,721 --> 00:08:00,221
your whole race dead,
200
00:08:00,223 --> 00:08:02,089
no future --
201
00:08:02,091 --> 00:08:03,591
what couldn't
you do, then?
202
00:08:03,593 --> 00:08:07,628
If you were that old
and that kind
203
00:08:07,630 --> 00:08:09,230
and the very last
204
00:08:09,232 --> 00:08:11,265
of your kind,
205
00:08:11,267 --> 00:08:12,900
you couldn't just
stand there
206
00:08:12,902 --> 00:08:15,836
and watch children cry.
207
00:08:15,838 --> 00:08:19,273
Well, Amy makes the point
that the Starwhale is
208
00:08:19,275 --> 00:08:22,676
the last of its kind
and it comes to help
209
00:08:22,678 --> 00:08:24,345
when it hears
the cries of children
210
00:08:24,347 --> 00:08:26,247
and that's exactly
what the Doctor did
211
00:08:26,249 --> 00:08:27,548
at the beginning
of the episode.
212
00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:30,084
It turns out they just
got to take it easy on it
213
00:08:30,086 --> 00:08:32,052
and let the Starwhale
do its thing.
214
00:08:32,054 --> 00:08:34,855
The Starwhale just wanted
a little TLC
215
00:08:34,857 --> 00:08:36,657
and then it's going to
do its job.
216
00:08:36,659 --> 00:08:39,193
There was this creature
217
00:08:39,195 --> 00:08:41,929
suffering all that immense
torment and pain
218
00:08:41,931 --> 00:08:44,665
and she played such a part
in rescuing it
219
00:08:44,667 --> 00:08:47,935
and making sure that this
dreadful business stopped.
220
00:08:47,937 --> 00:08:50,638
I watched that episode and I
thought, at the end of it,
221
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,041
I thought "I'm getting moved
by the life of a spacewhale."
222
00:08:54,043 --> 00:08:55,542
I mean, it's ridiculous.
223
00:08:55,544 --> 00:08:57,478
Yet again, the power of
"Doctor Who" is
224
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,346
you believe it, it makes
you believe everything
225
00:08:59,348 --> 00:09:00,881
because it's done
with conviction,
226
00:09:00,883 --> 00:09:03,417
it's performed with conviction,
it's written with conviction,
227
00:09:03,419 --> 00:09:04,919
and you'll believe
anything.
228
00:09:04,921 --> 00:09:06,720
Every door
has a nightmare.
229
00:09:06,722 --> 00:09:07,721
Ay!
230
00:09:07,723 --> 00:09:09,223
Anytime that
you've been afraid
231
00:09:09,225 --> 00:09:10,791
that something is lurking
in the shadows --
232
00:09:10,793 --> 00:09:12,159
it's a swarm
in a suit.
233
00:09:12,161 --> 00:09:14,461
The answer is that that
is actually going on.
234
00:09:17,192 --> 00:09:18,825
The destinations of
"Doctor Who"
235
00:09:18,827 --> 00:09:22,262
seem like they're based
off of somebody's dreams.
236
00:09:22,264 --> 00:09:24,931
They're so surreal
and crazy
237
00:09:24,933 --> 00:09:27,300
and sometimes they're
superrealistic
238
00:09:27,302 --> 00:09:29,669
with just a hint
of surrealism thrown in,
239
00:09:29,671 --> 00:09:33,273
which makes them just as creepy
as the regular creepy ones.
240
00:09:36,377 --> 00:09:39,379
The thing that "Doctor Who"
always succeeds in is
241
00:09:39,381 --> 00:09:40,813
turning something
that seems everyday
242
00:09:40,815 --> 00:09:42,282
into something terrifying.
243
00:09:42,284 --> 00:09:44,217
So they go to this hotel.
244
00:09:44,219 --> 00:09:45,184
It looks like
a normal human hotel
245
00:09:45,186 --> 00:09:46,619
and it turns out
246
00:09:46,621 --> 00:09:48,321
that it's
a haunted hotel
247
00:09:48,323 --> 00:09:49,756
full of nightmares.
248
00:09:49,758 --> 00:09:50,923
Supercreepy.
249
00:09:50,925 --> 00:09:52,525
You open the door?
Wall.
250
00:09:52,527 --> 00:09:54,327
You open the windows?
Wall.
251
00:09:54,329 --> 00:09:56,963
It's kind of a terrible,
terrible place.
252
00:09:56,965 --> 00:09:58,731
The walls move.
Everything changes.
253
00:09:58,733 --> 00:10:00,967
You, clever one,
what's he talking about?
254
00:10:00,969 --> 00:10:02,468
The corridors
twist and stretch,
255
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:04,904
rooms vanish and pop up
somewhere else.
256
00:10:04,906 --> 00:10:07,040
It's like
the hotel's alive.
257
00:10:07,042 --> 00:10:08,608
That quite enough
of that.
258
00:10:08,610 --> 00:10:10,143
Yeah, and it's huge.
259
00:10:11,646 --> 00:10:13,413
Did you try
the front door?
260
00:10:13,415 --> 00:10:14,914
No, in two days,
it never occurred to us
261
00:10:14,916 --> 00:10:17,450
to try the front door --
thank God you're here.
262
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,987
They're not doors,
they're walls,
263
00:10:20,989 --> 00:10:23,956
walls that look like doors.
"Doorwalls," if you like,
264
00:10:23,958 --> 00:10:26,192
or "dwalls" --
"woors," even,
265
00:10:26,194 --> 00:10:27,694
though you probably got it when
you said they're not doors.
266
00:10:27,696 --> 00:10:30,096
I mean, the windows are...
Right.
267
00:10:30,098 --> 00:10:31,798
Big day
for a fan of walls.
268
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,933
It's not
just that.
269
00:10:33,935 --> 00:10:35,702
The rooms have
things in them.
270
00:10:35,704 --> 00:10:37,036
Things? Hello!
271
00:10:37,038 --> 00:10:38,538
What kind of things,
interesting things?
272
00:10:38,540 --> 00:10:40,039
I love things.
Ask anyone.
273
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,309
Bad dreams.
274
00:10:43,311 --> 00:10:45,144
I wouldn't want
to stay there.
275
00:10:45,146 --> 00:10:49,015
It's a terrifying concept, to be
stuck in a place like that.
276
00:10:49,017 --> 00:10:51,451
I remember watching
that episode as it went out
277
00:10:51,453 --> 00:10:54,487
and I was hosting
a corporate sort of event
278
00:10:54,489 --> 00:10:57,190
and I was in a hotel
which was exactly like
279
00:10:57,192 --> 00:10:59,325
the one featured,
280
00:10:59,327 --> 00:11:01,361
nervously looking around
at the doors and the windows,
281
00:11:01,363 --> 00:11:03,563
in case something sinister
lay behind them.
282
00:11:03,565 --> 00:11:04,964
Ay!
283
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:07,834
Don't...blink.
284
00:11:07,836 --> 00:11:09,068
What?
285
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,907
Every door
has a nightmare
286
00:11:14,909 --> 00:11:17,076
of some sort --
it may not be yours.
287
00:11:17,078 --> 00:11:18,745
You may think it's yours.
It may not be.
288
00:11:18,747 --> 00:11:21,180
But it's really
supercreepy.
289
00:11:21,182 --> 00:11:24,317
Why haven't they
got us yet?
290
00:11:26,887 --> 00:11:29,021
Amy,
they're not real.
291
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,423
What?
292
00:11:30,425 --> 00:11:32,058
They should've
got us by now.
293
00:11:32,060 --> 00:11:34,160
Amy, look at me.
Focus on me.
294
00:11:34,162 --> 00:11:35,695
It's your bad dream,
that's all.
295
00:11:37,599 --> 00:11:39,098
I don't even think
they're for us.
296
00:11:42,504 --> 00:11:43,870
Aah!
297
00:11:47,709 --> 00:11:49,242
Doctor, what
are you doing?
298
00:11:49,244 --> 00:11:50,743
I'm sorry, I just
have to see what it is.
299
00:11:50,745 --> 00:11:52,245
I just --
I have to see.
300
00:11:59,654 --> 00:12:03,589
Oh, look at you.
301
00:12:03,591 --> 00:12:05,691
I love haunted things,
so the haunted hotel
302
00:12:05,693 --> 00:12:07,260
was a really fun
episode for me.
303
00:12:07,262 --> 00:12:10,997
What I love about "Doctor Who"
is that they can throw in
304
00:12:10,999 --> 00:12:13,099
a Minotaur,
if they want to.
305
00:12:13,101 --> 00:12:16,102
They could literally do anything
they want, and they did.
306
00:12:16,104 --> 00:12:18,037
There was a Minotaur
in this episode.
307
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:19,972
At the end of the episode,
it turns out that,
308
00:12:19,974 --> 00:12:21,507
as is often the case
in "Doctor Who,"
309
00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:23,009
things are not
what they seem
310
00:12:23,011 --> 00:12:25,945
and, in this case, you never
would've guessed it,
311
00:12:25,947 --> 00:12:30,149
but the hotel is actually
a prison for a Minotaur God
312
00:12:30,151 --> 00:12:33,653
that looks like kind of
a cross between a labyrinth
313
00:12:33,655 --> 00:12:35,188
and something
314
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:37,590
out of "Tron."
315
00:12:37,592 --> 00:12:42,228
What is it,
a Minotaur or an alien?
316
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:45,331
Or an alien Minotaur.
That's not a question
317
00:12:45,333 --> 00:12:46,833
I thought I'd be asking
this morning.
318
00:12:46,835 --> 00:12:48,301
I mean, it's both,
319
00:12:48,303 --> 00:12:49,669
actually, yeah,
here we go.
320
00:12:49,671 --> 00:12:52,472
Distant cousin
of the Nimon.
321
00:12:52,474 --> 00:12:54,540
They descend on planets
and set themselves up
322
00:12:54,542 --> 00:12:56,609
as Gods
to be worshipped,
323
00:12:56,611 --> 00:12:59,378
which is fine,
until the inhabitants
324
00:12:59,380 --> 00:13:01,614
get all secular
and advanced enough
325
00:13:01,616 --> 00:13:04,217
to build
bonkers prisons.
326
00:13:04,219 --> 00:13:05,785
Prisons in space.
327
00:13:05,787 --> 00:13:07,286
Where
are the guards?
328
00:13:07,288 --> 00:13:08,788
No need for any.
329
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:10,656
It's all automated.
It drifts through space,
330
00:13:10,658 --> 00:13:12,492
snatching people
with belief systems
331
00:13:12,494 --> 00:13:13,993
and converts
their faith
332
00:13:13,995 --> 00:13:15,495
into food
for the creature.
333
00:13:15,497 --> 00:13:18,297
This Minotaur God is
feeding on people's faith.
334
00:13:18,299 --> 00:13:20,466
It takes somebody's
faith and hope
335
00:13:20,468 --> 00:13:23,569
and turns it into this kind of
horrible nightmare for them.
336
00:13:23,571 --> 00:13:26,439
They take the old
Minotaur legend
337
00:13:26,441 --> 00:13:28,508
and take it out of a maze
338
00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:30,376
and basically put it
into this sort of
339
00:13:30,378 --> 00:13:32,578
weird dimensional maze
of this haunted hotel.
340
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:34,847
It's one of the great ways
the show takes mythologies
341
00:13:34,849 --> 00:13:36,716
that we're all familiar with
and then just
342
00:13:36,718 --> 00:13:38,751
aliens them up
a little bit
343
00:13:38,753 --> 00:13:42,088
and just gives them a dimension
that they didn't have before.
344
00:13:42,090 --> 00:13:44,190
Sometimes alternate dimensions
they didn't have before.
345
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:53,900
The library is this giant planet
that is just a library
346
00:13:53,902 --> 00:13:56,802
and it has every book
ever written.
347
00:13:56,804 --> 00:13:59,705
The Library.
348
00:13:59,707 --> 00:14:02,875
So big, it doesn't
need a name,
349
00:14:02,877 --> 00:14:04,610
just a great big
"the."
350
00:14:04,612 --> 00:14:06,445
It's like a city.
351
00:14:06,447 --> 00:14:08,314
It's a world.
Literally, a world.
352
00:14:08,316 --> 00:14:09,815
The whole core
of the planet is
353
00:14:09,817 --> 00:14:11,317
the index computer,
354
00:14:11,319 --> 00:14:13,119
biggest hard drive,
ever, and up here,
355
00:14:13,121 --> 00:14:15,788
every book ever written,
whole continents of
356
00:14:15,790 --> 00:14:18,057
Jeffrey Archer,
"Bridget Jones,"
357
00:14:18,059 --> 00:14:21,327
"Monty Python's
Big Red Book."
358
00:14:21,329 --> 00:14:23,262
Brand-new editions,
specially printed.
359
00:14:25,567 --> 00:14:27,600
Clearly, Steven Moffat
must've recently gone
360
00:14:27,602 --> 00:14:29,302
to the British library,
which holds
361
00:14:29,304 --> 00:14:31,203
every single book
in the world and I've
362
00:14:31,205 --> 00:14:33,439
been there before and it
is quite impressive.
363
00:14:33,441 --> 00:14:36,509
The idea of a library
is always really --
364
00:14:36,511 --> 00:14:38,811
is an exciting one,
I think,
365
00:14:38,813 --> 00:14:40,112
especially maybe for
science-fiction nerds,
366
00:14:40,114 --> 00:14:42,214
but for any of the sort
of reading nerds
367
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:43,716
out there, the idea
that there's a place
368
00:14:43,718 --> 00:14:45,284
you can go where you just
get to read all the time.
369
00:14:45,286 --> 00:14:46,619
That's all that
you're there for.
370
00:14:46,621 --> 00:14:48,754
Any research you want
to do, anything you want
371
00:14:48,756 --> 00:14:50,690
to learn about, any story
you want to know.
372
00:14:50,692 --> 00:14:52,625
So that's, yeah, it's
a dream destination.
373
00:14:52,627 --> 00:14:55,695
It seems like they just took
kind of a boring vacation
374
00:14:55,697 --> 00:14:58,564
to a library, but,
as the episode unfolds,
375
00:14:58,566 --> 00:15:00,399
it becomes more and more
frightening
376
00:15:00,401 --> 00:15:01,934
and more and more
sinister.
377
00:15:01,936 --> 00:15:04,036
And it turns out that
all the books were created
378
00:15:04,038 --> 00:15:06,038
from a forest that
used to be on the planet,
379
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,508
that used to be inhabited
by the Vashta Nerada,
380
00:15:09,510 --> 00:15:13,446
who live in the shadows
and used to live in the trees.
381
00:15:13,448 --> 00:15:15,881
But there are
no more trees.
382
00:15:15,883 --> 00:15:17,483
Way to go, library.
383
00:15:17,485 --> 00:15:22,021
They're like meateating
carnivorous microbugs,
384
00:15:22,023 --> 00:15:24,256
or something like that,
and you don't know
385
00:15:24,258 --> 00:15:26,559
where they are and,
if you step in a shadow,
386
00:15:26,561 --> 00:15:28,060
you could be dead or,
if all of a sudden,
387
00:15:28,062 --> 00:15:30,997
you have two shadows,
you're dead.
388
00:15:30,999 --> 00:15:33,432
Basically, you're dead when
you show up on this planet.
389
00:15:33,434 --> 00:15:34,867
Dave,
can you hear me?
390
00:15:34,869 --> 00:15:36,636
Hey! Who turned
out the lights?
391
00:15:37,838 --> 00:15:39,905
Ah!
392
00:15:39,907 --> 00:15:42,441
Hey! Who turned out
the lights?
393
00:15:42,443 --> 00:15:43,542
Hey! Who turned
out the lights?
394
00:15:43,544 --> 00:15:45,945
Excuse me!
395
00:15:45,947 --> 00:15:47,947
Back from it,
get back!
396
00:15:47,949 --> 00:15:49,315
Right back!
397
00:15:49,317 --> 00:15:51,450
Once a shadow has
attached itself to you
398
00:15:51,452 --> 00:15:54,153
and you've got two shadows,
then you're really screwed.
399
00:15:54,155 --> 00:15:55,788
Doesn't move
very fast, does it?
400
00:15:55,790 --> 00:15:58,224
It's a swarm
in a suit.
401
00:15:58,226 --> 00:16:00,893
But it's learning.
402
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:05,965
What do we do?
Where do we go?!
403
00:16:05,967 --> 00:16:07,199
See that wall
behind you?
404
00:16:07,201 --> 00:16:09,635
Duck!
405
00:16:11,038 --> 00:16:13,239
Squareness gun!
406
00:16:13,241 --> 00:16:15,007
Everybody out!
407
00:16:15,009 --> 00:16:16,776
Everybody loves a library.
It's nice and cozy.
408
00:16:16,778 --> 00:16:18,244
You have a cup of tea
and a book.
409
00:16:18,246 --> 00:16:21,480
And then get chowed down
upon by millions of aliens.
410
00:16:21,482 --> 00:16:24,083
The lesson that you could learn
from this episode is that,
411
00:16:24,085 --> 00:16:25,651
anytime that
you've been afraid
412
00:16:25,653 --> 00:16:28,020
that something is lurking
in the shadows
413
00:16:28,022 --> 00:16:30,489
or something is hiding
in the dark closet,
414
00:16:30,491 --> 00:16:33,025
the answer is that that
is actually going on.
415
00:16:33,027 --> 00:16:34,493
And this episode
drives that home
416
00:16:34,495 --> 00:16:37,163
in a really, really
terrifying way.
417
00:16:37,165 --> 00:16:39,165
It's a swarm
in a suit.
418
00:16:39,167 --> 00:16:43,169
This library has this
massively large hard drive
419
00:16:43,171 --> 00:16:45,071
in the center of it that,
420
00:16:45,073 --> 00:16:48,074
when the shadow creatures
start attacking,
421
00:16:48,076 --> 00:16:50,810
the planet realizes
it needs to save everyone.
422
00:16:50,812 --> 00:16:53,913
It actually "saves" them
in the hard drive
423
00:16:53,915 --> 00:16:56,716
and creates this entire
fictional world
424
00:16:56,718 --> 00:16:58,751
that their brains are
kind of living in.
425
00:16:58,753 --> 00:17:01,053
Donna is kind of downloaded
into the mainframe
426
00:17:01,055 --> 00:17:03,289
of the computer
427
00:17:03,291 --> 00:17:05,591
and is given
a life to enjoy.
428
00:17:05,593 --> 00:17:07,760
With a family,
these two little kids,
429
00:17:07,762 --> 00:17:09,562
these cookie-cutter kids
that are really cute,
430
00:17:09,564 --> 00:17:11,063
but also really creepy.
431
00:17:11,065 --> 00:17:13,466
The memories
are all still there --
432
00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:15,768
the library,
the Doctor, me.
433
00:17:15,770 --> 00:17:17,236
You've just been
programmed
434
00:17:17,238 --> 00:17:20,139
not to look.
435
00:17:20,141 --> 00:17:21,507
Sorry, but...
436
00:17:21,509 --> 00:17:23,075
you're dead.
437
00:17:23,077 --> 00:17:26,979
In a way, we're all
dead here, Donna.
438
00:17:26,981 --> 00:17:28,547
We are the dead
of the library.
439
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:30,716
Well, what about
the children?
440
00:17:30,718 --> 00:17:32,485
The children
aren't dead.
441
00:17:32,487 --> 00:17:33,986
My children
aren't dead.
442
00:17:33,988 --> 00:17:35,955
Your children
were never alive.
443
00:17:35,957 --> 00:17:37,523
Don't you say that.
444
00:17:37,525 --> 00:17:39,225
Don't you dare say that
about my children.
445
00:17:39,227 --> 00:17:40,893
Look at your
children!
446
00:17:40,895 --> 00:17:42,495
Look at all of them,
really look.
447
00:17:42,497 --> 00:17:44,597
They're not real.
448
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:46,565
Do you see it now?
They're all the same.
449
00:17:48,603 --> 00:17:51,303
All the children
of this world,
450
00:17:51,305 --> 00:17:52,872
the same boy
and the same girl,
451
00:17:52,874 --> 00:17:55,241
over and over again.
452
00:17:55,243 --> 00:17:56,742
She just gets screwed, man,
when those kids turn out
453
00:17:56,744 --> 00:17:58,244
to not be her kids
on the library.
454
00:17:58,246 --> 00:18:01,113
She's having a great
life, actually,
455
00:18:01,115 --> 00:18:03,482
the perfect life
for her,
456
00:18:03,484 --> 00:18:05,818
and I think she would've been
extremely happy to stay there.
457
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:08,420
Oh, you've lived this life,
have you, have you?
458
00:18:08,422 --> 00:18:09,722
None of this life
was real.
459
00:18:09,724 --> 00:18:11,423
I like the way
they do that.
460
00:18:11,425 --> 00:18:12,958
Yeah, very sad.
461
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,226
You could be watching TV,
you see an angel,
462
00:18:14,228 --> 00:18:16,428
that's an angel
and that will kill you.
463
00:18:16,430 --> 00:18:17,596
Doctor!
464
00:18:17,598 --> 00:18:19,098
I thought it was
going to be like
465
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:20,633
a Dr. Seuss land
of fun and happiness
466
00:18:20,635 --> 00:18:24,403
and it's just a bunch
of really bitter guys.
467
00:18:27,182 --> 00:18:28,648
Well, it's always
a different place
468
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:30,116
when you go
with the Doctor.
469
00:18:30,118 --> 00:18:31,885
Anyplace in the Universe
is available to you
470
00:18:31,887 --> 00:18:33,887
and the thing
about the TARDIS is
471
00:18:33,889 --> 00:18:35,488
you never know where
you're going to end up.
472
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:38,525
You can plan all you want,
but you open those doors
473
00:18:38,527 --> 00:18:40,093
and it's always something
a little different
474
00:18:40,095 --> 00:18:41,594
than what you thought
it'd be.
475
00:18:44,698 --> 00:18:47,033
This is the one place
in the "Doctor Who" universe
476
00:18:47,035 --> 00:18:48,735
that you just don't
want to end up.
477
00:18:48,737 --> 00:18:53,873
It's a crashed spaceship
full of Weeping Angels
478
00:18:53,875 --> 00:18:58,711
next to a crack in time
in some weird indoor forest.
479
00:18:58,713 --> 00:19:01,347
And everybody want
to kill you, basically.
480
00:19:01,349 --> 00:19:04,350
Beautiful gardens in space.
What could possibly be wrong?
481
00:19:04,352 --> 00:19:06,920
There's not going to be
anything sinister there.
482
00:19:06,922 --> 00:19:09,089
But! Statues of angels
that'll kill you.
483
00:19:09,091 --> 00:19:10,557
It's not just one
weeping angel this time,
484
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,058
or not just a few
Weeping Angels this time,
485
00:19:12,060 --> 00:19:13,526
it's hundreds of them.
486
00:19:13,528 --> 00:19:15,028
One weeping angel
is scary enough,
487
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:17,330
but then you have an entire
freaking haunted forest
488
00:19:17,332 --> 00:19:19,032
of Weeping Angels?
489
00:19:19,034 --> 00:19:22,669
Could these things get
any worse?
490
00:19:22,671 --> 00:19:24,838
We learn that, basically,
the Weeping Angels
491
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,674
can operate pretty much like the
plot of the movie "The Ring."
492
00:19:27,676 --> 00:19:31,211
Amy's watching
a 4-second loop
493
00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:33,646
of the angel
in the hold
494
00:19:33,648 --> 00:19:35,248
and it's just
a recording
495
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:37,450
and it's been looped
so it's just
496
00:19:37,452 --> 00:19:39,352
the same 4 seconds,
497
00:19:39,354 --> 00:19:41,488
but the thing that
we didn't realize
498
00:19:41,490 --> 00:19:42,989
about the angels
before this was
499
00:19:42,991 --> 00:19:44,524
that anything
that holds the image
500
00:19:44,526 --> 00:19:46,759
of an angel
is itself an angel.
501
00:19:46,761 --> 00:19:48,328
Doctor!
502
00:19:54,301 --> 00:19:56,769
Doctor!
503
00:19:56,771 --> 00:19:58,204
This whole book,
it's a warning
504
00:19:58,206 --> 00:19:59,706
about the Weeping Angels,
so why no pictures?
505
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:01,141
Why not show us what
to look out for?
506
00:20:01,143 --> 00:20:03,309
There was that bit about
images, what was that?
507
00:20:03,311 --> 00:20:05,845
Yes.
Hang on...
508
00:20:05,847 --> 00:20:08,014
"That which holds
the image of an angel
509
00:20:08,016 --> 00:20:09,682
becomes itself
an angel."
510
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,122
Doctor!
511
00:20:16,124 --> 00:20:18,158
What does that mean,
512
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,493
an "image of an angel
becomes itself an angel"?
513
00:20:20,495 --> 00:20:22,262
When the weeping angel
comes out of the TV,
514
00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:23,930
that messed me up.
515
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:26,766
Doctor!
It's in the room!
516
00:20:26,768 --> 00:20:28,568
Amy!
517
00:20:28,570 --> 00:20:30,203
Basically, you could be
watching TV, you see an angel,
518
00:20:30,205 --> 00:20:31,971
that's an angel
and that will kill you.
519
00:20:31,973 --> 00:20:33,773
If you blink,
that will kill you.
520
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:36,009
At the end,
I like the fact that
521
00:20:36,011 --> 00:20:37,510
all of the angels
522
00:20:37,512 --> 00:20:39,012
just kind of tumble
off the planet
523
00:20:39,014 --> 00:20:40,647
like they're little
plaster statues on a shelf
524
00:20:40,649 --> 00:20:42,115
and someone's gone
"ah, forget that."
525
00:20:42,117 --> 00:20:43,917
The angels are draining all
the power from this ship,
526
00:20:43,919 --> 00:20:46,019
every last bit of it,
and you know what?
527
00:20:46,021 --> 00:20:49,022
I think they've forgotten
where they're standing.
528
00:20:49,024 --> 00:20:50,523
I think
they've forgotten
529
00:20:50,525 --> 00:20:52,058
the gravity
of the situation.
530
00:20:52,060 --> 00:20:53,593
Or, to put it another way,
angels --
531
00:20:55,197 --> 00:20:57,630
You hold on tight and don't
you let go for anything.
532
00:20:57,632 --> 00:20:59,365
Night-night.
533
00:21:12,112 --> 00:21:13,813
The fact that
these things are beasts
534
00:21:13,815 --> 00:21:17,183
and proper killer/
threatening
535
00:21:17,185 --> 00:21:18,618
are just like crumbly
things made out of concrete.
536
00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:20,119
No problem. Done.
537
00:21:20,121 --> 00:21:22,188
And the gravity
destroys them
538
00:21:22,190 --> 00:21:24,257
because they're weeping,
but not smart.
539
00:21:30,231 --> 00:21:32,966
Gallifrey is something that
any serious "Doctor Who" fan
540
00:21:32,968 --> 00:21:35,068
has always wanted
to take a real peek at.
541
00:21:35,070 --> 00:21:37,270
I know Gallifrey.
I've been to Gallifrey.
542
00:21:37,272 --> 00:21:38,972
I've been tried
on Gallifrey.
543
00:21:38,974 --> 00:21:40,807
That was a very exciting
moment for me,
544
00:21:40,809 --> 00:21:43,142
as an old "Doctor Who" fan,
to see Gallifrey again.
545
00:21:43,144 --> 00:21:45,945
I don't know what I expected
Gallifrey to look like,
546
00:21:45,947 --> 00:21:47,880
but I don't know
if I expected it
547
00:21:47,882 --> 00:21:50,583
to be a snow globe
full of downtown L.A.
548
00:21:50,585 --> 00:21:52,085
I thought it was
going to be like
549
00:21:52,087 --> 00:21:53,620
a Dr. Seuss land
of fun and happiness
550
00:21:53,622 --> 00:21:56,723
and it's just a bunch
of really bitter guys.
551
00:21:58,392 --> 00:22:00,994
The fashion trend
of Gallifrey is that
552
00:22:00,996 --> 00:22:04,163
of spooky wizards
from the future.
553
00:22:04,165 --> 00:22:05,965
That's basically what
Time Lords dress like.
554
00:22:05,967 --> 00:22:07,500
They just all look
555
00:22:07,502 --> 00:22:09,302
like Anton Lavey
at a discotheque.
556
00:22:09,304 --> 00:22:14,774
I think it's kind of like
British court systems.
557
00:22:14,776 --> 00:22:16,309
I think they have to
wear this stuff.
558
00:22:16,311 --> 00:22:17,810
It's ceremonial.
They've always worn it.
559
00:22:17,812 --> 00:22:20,713
I don't think they like
putting it on.
560
00:22:20,715 --> 00:22:22,382
What news of the Doctor?
561
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:24,250
Disappeared,
562
00:22:24,252 --> 00:22:25,818
My Lord President.
563
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:28,288
But
we know his intention.
564
00:22:28,290 --> 00:22:29,822
He still possesses
the moment
565
00:22:29,824 --> 00:22:32,158
and he'll use it
to destroy Daleks
566
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,761
and Time Lords
alike.
567
00:22:34,763 --> 00:22:36,929
The visionary
confirms it.
568
00:22:36,931 --> 00:22:40,700
Ending, burning, falling.
All of it, falling!
569
00:22:40,702 --> 00:22:44,170
The black and pitch
and screaming fire,
570
00:22:44,172 --> 00:22:46,072
so burning.
571
00:22:46,074 --> 00:22:48,207
It's quite clever
that the Doctor
572
00:22:48,209 --> 00:22:50,109
does not fit in
with the map
573
00:22:50,111 --> 00:22:52,345
of what these other
Time Lords are.
574
00:22:52,347 --> 00:22:54,480
They're all
completely different,
575
00:22:54,482 --> 00:22:56,382
with very different
agendas.
576
00:22:56,384 --> 00:22:58,151
Doesn't seem like
that nice of a place,
577
00:22:58,153 --> 00:23:00,119
where the Doctor's from,
all of a sudden.
578
00:23:00,121 --> 00:23:02,055
People are mean.
Because they're scared.
579
00:23:02,057 --> 00:23:03,356
They're scared that
they're going to die.
580
00:23:03,358 --> 00:23:07,460
But they're all fighting
for their survival.
581
00:23:07,462 --> 00:23:10,463
It's wonderful that
the immortals are threatened.
582
00:23:10,465 --> 00:23:12,765
They're
at their wits' end
583
00:23:12,767 --> 00:23:15,234
because they're losing
the time war.
584
00:23:15,236 --> 00:23:18,338
And they do
something terrible
585
00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:19,806
to try to survive.
586
00:23:19,808 --> 00:23:22,875
You die with me,
Doctor.
587
00:23:22,877 --> 00:23:25,611
I know.
588
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:30,783
Gallifrey's coming back
and it's just
589
00:23:30,785 --> 00:23:33,553
going to mean the end for
pretty much everything.
590
00:23:36,124 --> 00:23:38,658
Get out of the way.
591
00:23:44,032 --> 00:23:45,298
You did this to me!
592
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:48,601
The master finally
teams up with the Doctor.
593
00:23:48,603 --> 00:23:50,136
Not because
594
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:51,671
he decided that
they're friends,
595
00:23:51,673 --> 00:23:53,139
but because "the enemy
of my enemy
596
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:54,640
is my enemy."
597
00:23:54,642 --> 00:23:58,311
The master, who has
always hated the Doctor,
598
00:23:58,313 --> 00:24:00,413
turns out, is going to be
a good guy this time
599
00:24:00,415 --> 00:24:02,315
and send Gallifrey back
to the time loop
600
00:24:02,317 --> 00:24:04,851
and that was
a beautiful moment.
601
00:24:04,853 --> 00:24:07,220
Not a bubble, a plughole.
The Universe
602
00:24:07,222 --> 00:24:08,554
is a plughole and we've
just fallen down it.
603
00:24:08,556 --> 00:24:10,423
This planet is mean,
604
00:24:10,425 --> 00:24:11,958
he's a bastard.
605
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,360
You should be dead.
606
00:24:14,362 --> 00:24:16,329
You're going into that black
hole and I'm riding with you.
607
00:24:19,103 --> 00:24:21,570
The destinations
608
00:24:21,572 --> 00:24:24,707
that you go to in "Doctor Who"
are always really surprising.
609
00:24:24,709 --> 00:24:26,542
They kind of
open out to reveal
610
00:24:26,544 --> 00:24:28,811
something completely
different.
611
00:24:28,813 --> 00:24:32,948
You never quite know the
reality of the destination.
612
00:24:36,353 --> 00:24:38,521
Krop Tor is a planet
that is
613
00:24:38,523 --> 00:24:41,257
in a stable orbit
around a black hole,
614
00:24:41,259 --> 00:24:42,758
which is impossible,
615
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,627
so it's called
The Impossible Planet.
616
00:24:44,629 --> 00:24:47,897
The Doctor and Rose arrive
and he's confused
617
00:24:47,899 --> 00:24:51,000
about how it could
possibly be so stable.
618
00:24:51,002 --> 00:24:52,034
We can't be.
619
00:24:52,036 --> 00:24:53,703
My favorite thing
about the Doctor
620
00:24:53,705 --> 00:24:55,571
is always that
he's a scientist first.
621
00:24:55,573 --> 00:24:59,709
But I like that he is
presented with a situation
622
00:24:59,711 --> 00:25:02,545
that he can't explain
scientifically
623
00:25:02,547 --> 00:25:04,780
because that's always
what compels him.
624
00:25:04,782 --> 00:25:06,515
That's
a black hole.
625
00:25:06,517 --> 00:25:08,918
But that's
impossible.
626
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,186
I did warn you.
627
00:25:10,188 --> 00:25:12,321
We're standing
under a black hole.
628
00:25:12,323 --> 00:25:14,557
In orbit.
We can't be.
629
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:18,661
You can see for yourself,
we're in orbit.
630
00:25:18,663 --> 00:25:20,229
But we can't be.
631
00:25:20,231 --> 00:25:22,465
This lump of rock
is suspended
632
00:25:22,467 --> 00:25:24,166
in perpetual
geostationary orbit
633
00:25:24,168 --> 00:25:25,868
around that black hole,
634
00:25:25,870 --> 00:25:27,837
without falling in --
635
00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:28,971
discuss.
636
00:25:28,973 --> 00:25:30,740
And that's bad,
yeah?
637
00:25:30,742 --> 00:25:34,376
"Bad" doesn't
cover it.
638
00:25:34,378 --> 00:25:35,845
A black hole's
a dead star.
639
00:25:35,847 --> 00:25:38,514
You wonder what a black
hole actually looks like.
640
00:25:38,516 --> 00:25:40,883
There's many theories.
I thought that was
641
00:25:40,885 --> 00:25:44,053
a very well-visioned image
of what we imagine
642
00:25:44,055 --> 00:25:46,055
a black hole
to be like,
643
00:25:46,057 --> 00:25:48,090
this object
which is just
644
00:25:48,092 --> 00:25:50,826
far beyond our
knowledge of physics.
645
00:25:50,828 --> 00:25:53,028
So, they can't be
in orbit.
646
00:25:53,030 --> 00:25:55,197
We should be pulled
right in.
647
00:25:55,199 --> 00:25:57,032
We should be dead.
648
00:25:57,034 --> 00:25:58,934
And yet,
here we are,
649
00:25:58,936 --> 00:26:02,338
beyond the laws
of physics.
650
00:26:02,340 --> 00:26:03,939
Welcome onboard.
651
00:26:03,941 --> 00:26:08,344
Krop Tor turns out
to be a prison for Satan,
652
00:26:08,346 --> 00:26:10,446
which is the first
remotely spiritual thing
653
00:26:10,448 --> 00:26:12,581
the "Doctor Who" series
has ever brought up.
654
00:26:12,583 --> 00:26:14,717
That's why I love
British shows,
655
00:26:14,719 --> 00:26:19,121
because they are not afraid
to throw in a little Satan.
656
00:26:19,123 --> 00:26:20,656
Everyone needs
a little Satan.
657
00:26:20,658 --> 00:26:22,424
I've seen fake Gods
658
00:26:22,426 --> 00:26:23,759
and bad Gods
659
00:26:23,761 --> 00:26:25,828
and demigods
and would-be Gods.
660
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:27,363
And out of all that,
661
00:26:27,365 --> 00:26:29,865
out of that
whole pantheon,
662
00:26:29,867 --> 00:26:32,268
if I believe
in one thing,
663
00:26:32,270 --> 00:26:35,404
just one thing,
664
00:26:35,406 --> 00:26:36,806
I believe in her.
665
00:26:40,911 --> 00:26:42,444
With the Doctor,
666
00:26:42,446 --> 00:26:44,346
he's pretty much
seen everything,
667
00:26:44,348 --> 00:26:46,448
so the worst thing
that human beings
668
00:26:46,450 --> 00:26:48,184
can imagine,
which is just
669
00:26:48,186 --> 00:26:49,685
this incarnation
of the devil,
670
00:26:49,687 --> 00:26:51,587
is really just
another alien to him,
671
00:26:51,589 --> 00:26:53,088
that he's got to
sort out.
672
00:26:53,090 --> 00:26:54,590
That's why the Doctor's
kind of like your dad,
673
00:26:54,592 --> 00:26:56,091
in a way, like "Ah,
I'll hold your hand.
674
00:26:56,093 --> 00:26:57,593
I'll make sure there's
no devil under your bed."
675
00:26:57,595 --> 00:26:59,562
You know, he makes
everything okay.
676
00:27:01,531 --> 00:27:03,032
This is your freedom!
677
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:05,768
Free to die!
678
00:27:05,770 --> 00:27:07,369
You're going
into that black hole,
679
00:27:07,371 --> 00:27:09,004
and I'm riding with you.
680
00:27:10,775 --> 00:27:12,308
The devil is almost
like the ultimate.
681
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:14,176
It doesn't get more evil
or more scary
682
00:27:14,178 --> 00:27:16,412
or unpredictable
as the devil.
683
00:27:16,414 --> 00:27:18,380
Seeing the Doctor,
David Tennant,
684
00:27:18,382 --> 00:27:19,982
fighting the devil,
685
00:27:19,984 --> 00:27:23,219
you know, is worthy
of any Bible story.
686
00:27:27,958 --> 00:27:30,960
The Trash Planet is
this really weird planet
687
00:27:30,962 --> 00:27:32,761
that they end up
that's essentially like
688
00:27:32,763 --> 00:27:34,530
it feels like
a garbage dump, sort of,
689
00:27:34,532 --> 00:27:36,065
at the end
of the Universe.
690
00:27:36,067 --> 00:27:38,968
Basically, everything that
you ever wash in your sink
691
00:27:38,970 --> 00:27:40,536
all sunk down
into this drain
692
00:27:40,538 --> 00:27:42,605
that doesn't have
a garbage disposal.
693
00:27:42,607 --> 00:27:44,139
It's just sitting there,
694
00:27:44,141 --> 00:27:46,709
waiting to collect
dust and mold.
695
00:27:50,947 --> 00:27:54,383
The Trash Planet,
I think, is probably
696
00:27:54,385 --> 00:27:56,852
what Gallifrey
would've looked like
697
00:27:56,854 --> 00:27:58,754
without the use
of the TARDIS,
698
00:27:58,756 --> 00:28:00,723
which, of course,
is everyone's
699
00:28:00,725 --> 00:28:02,558
multitool closet.
700
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,293
What is
this place,
701
00:28:04,295 --> 00:28:05,694
the scrapyard at the
end of the Universe?
702
00:28:05,696 --> 00:28:09,098
Not end of,
outside of.
703
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:10,499
How can we be
outside the Universe?
704
00:28:10,501 --> 00:28:11,934
The Universe
is everything.
705
00:28:11,936 --> 00:28:13,535
Imagine a great,
big soap bubble with one
706
00:28:13,537 --> 00:28:15,318
of those tiny, little
bubbles on the outside.
707
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:15,704
Okay.
708
00:28:15,706 --> 00:28:17,172
Well, it's nothing
like that.
709
00:28:17,174 --> 00:28:19,575
Completely drained.
Look at her.
710
00:28:19,577 --> 00:28:21,076
Wait, so we're in a tiny-
bubble universe sticking
711
00:28:21,078 --> 00:28:23,279
to the side of the
bigger-bubble universe?
712
00:28:23,281 --> 00:28:25,881
Yes. No! But,
if it helps, yes.
713
00:28:25,883 --> 00:28:27,650
This place is full
of rift energy.
714
00:28:27,652 --> 00:28:29,718
She'll probably refuel
just by being here.
715
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,253
Now, this place --
what do we think, eh?
716
00:28:31,255 --> 00:28:32,755
Gravity's almost
earth-normal.
717
00:28:32,757 --> 00:28:34,490
Air's breathable.
718
00:28:34,492 --> 00:28:36,292
But it smells, like...
Armpits.
719
00:28:36,294 --> 00:28:37,760
Armpits.
720
00:28:37,762 --> 00:28:39,428
What about all this stuff?
Where did this come from?
721
00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:40,963
Well, there's a rift --
now and then,
722
00:28:40,965 --> 00:28:42,998
stuff gets sucked through it.
Not a bubble, a plughole.
723
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,400
The Universe is a plughole
and we've just fallen down it.
724
00:28:44,402 --> 00:28:46,168
It's a soap bubble
on a soap bubble
725
00:28:46,170 --> 00:28:50,339
or it's a drainplug
or...Who knows?
726
00:28:50,341 --> 00:28:51,807
It's one of those things
that you're like
727
00:28:51,809 --> 00:28:53,709
"the Universe
is infinite!
728
00:28:53,711 --> 00:28:57,279
But what's outside
of the universe?"
729
00:28:57,281 --> 00:28:59,515
Did Stephen Hawking
write "Doctor Who"?
730
00:28:59,517 --> 00:29:02,284
Because, at this point,
it kind of feels like he did.
731
00:29:02,286 --> 00:29:04,053
The idea
of this plughole
732
00:29:04,055 --> 00:29:06,188
where all the junk,
you know,
733
00:29:06,190 --> 00:29:07,690
it goes down the plughole
and it's all there
734
00:29:07,692 --> 00:29:09,525
and this planet,
it's a really good idea,
735
00:29:09,527 --> 00:29:11,026
I just didn't
understand it.
736
00:29:11,028 --> 00:29:13,028
This planet isn't
actually a planet,
737
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:14,630
it's actually
a living organism
738
00:29:14,632 --> 00:29:16,131
kind of like a sea urchin:
739
00:29:16,133 --> 00:29:17,633
It's got a hard shell
on the outside
740
00:29:17,635 --> 00:29:20,202
and it's all squooshy
ooshy on the inside.
741
00:29:20,204 --> 00:29:22,805
And it's also a dick.
742
00:29:22,807 --> 00:29:25,674
This planet is mean,
he's a bastard.
743
00:29:25,676 --> 00:29:27,743
You haven't answered
my question, children.
744
00:29:27,745 --> 00:29:30,879
Uh -- question?
745
00:29:30,881 --> 00:29:32,281
You remember.
746
00:29:32,283 --> 00:29:35,617
Tell me why I shouldn't
just kill you both now.
747
00:29:35,619 --> 00:29:38,454
Well, because --
748
00:29:38,456 --> 00:29:39,788
Rory, why?
749
00:29:42,092 --> 00:29:46,095
Because...
750
00:29:46,097 --> 00:29:48,230
killing us quickly
wouldn't be any fun.
751
00:29:48,232 --> 00:29:49,765
And you need fun,
752
00:29:49,767 --> 00:29:51,100
don't you?
753
00:29:51,102 --> 00:29:52,634
That's what auntie
and uncle were for,
754
00:29:52,636 --> 00:29:54,103
wasn't it? Someone
to make suffer.
755
00:29:54,105 --> 00:29:58,374
I had a P.E. teacher
just like you.
756
00:29:58,376 --> 00:30:00,943
You need to be
entertained
757
00:30:00,945 --> 00:30:02,878
and killing us
quickly
758
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,646
wouldn't be
entertainment.
759
00:30:04,648 --> 00:30:06,115
So entertain me.
760
00:30:06,117 --> 00:30:08,784
Run.
761
00:30:08,786 --> 00:30:10,853
And the trash planet's
consciousness is called House,
762
00:30:10,855 --> 00:30:13,722
which, it didn't sound
anything like Hugh Laurie,
763
00:30:13,724 --> 00:30:15,224
so that confused me.
764
00:30:15,226 --> 00:30:16,792
At first, he claims to be
helpful, but, really,
765
00:30:16,794 --> 00:30:18,327
"you're on a planet
of trash."
766
00:30:18,329 --> 00:30:19,795
You're like "I don't think
this is going to be
767
00:30:19,797 --> 00:30:21,330
a very good place
for him."
768
00:30:21,332 --> 00:30:23,198
And then slowly,
it's like "I knew it,
769
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,936
"this trash planet
is not kind.
770
00:30:27,938 --> 00:30:29,571
Let that be a warning."
771
00:30:29,573 --> 00:30:31,073
It's almost like
you're watching
772
00:30:31,075 --> 00:30:32,541
the United Nations
of the Universe.
773
00:30:32,543 --> 00:30:34,443
Ha!
774
00:30:34,445 --> 00:30:36,912
Never said that before.
That's fab.
775
00:30:36,914 --> 00:30:39,915
Welcome
to my new empire,
776
00:30:39,917 --> 00:30:41,417
Doctor.
777
00:30:41,419 --> 00:30:43,452
Not really
that great to talk to,
778
00:30:43,454 --> 00:30:44,953
but a master planner.
779
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:50,991
The amazing thing about
the destinations in "Doctor Who"
780
00:30:50,993 --> 00:30:52,826
is that he is
traveling through time
781
00:30:52,828 --> 00:30:54,828
and he's traveling
through space.
782
00:30:54,830 --> 00:30:57,330
So he could travel
a million light years away
783
00:30:57,332 --> 00:30:59,766
and discover
this amazing alien world
784
00:30:59,768 --> 00:31:03,170
or he could travel to the exact
same place on earth that he was
785
00:31:03,172 --> 00:31:05,305
and that would be
totally different.
786
00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:11,111
I've always that, you know,
that science fiction
787
00:31:11,113 --> 00:31:13,213
is mostly about going
out into space and, yet,
788
00:31:13,215 --> 00:31:15,282
there's so much we don't know
about what's under,
789
00:31:15,284 --> 00:31:16,783
you know,
beneath our feet.
790
00:31:16,785 --> 00:31:18,718
So I think most of us
have wondered, at some point,
791
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,889
whether there might not be
an entire advanced civilization
792
00:31:22,891 --> 00:31:24,758
of lizard people living
under the Earth.
793
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,293
We're looking
for a small,
794
00:31:26,295 --> 00:31:27,828
tribal settlement,
probably housing
795
00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:31,331
around a dozen
homo reptilia.
796
00:31:31,333 --> 00:31:32,566
Maybe less.
797
00:31:32,568 --> 00:31:36,002
One small tribe?
798
00:31:36,004 --> 00:31:37,771
Yeah.
799
00:31:37,773 --> 00:31:39,473
Maybe a dozen?
800
00:31:42,944 --> 00:31:44,611
There's a whole
underground colony
801
00:31:44,613 --> 00:31:47,714
full of Silurians
and it just
802
00:31:47,716 --> 00:31:49,316
surprises the hell
out of the Doctor.
803
00:31:49,318 --> 00:31:51,718
Ah.
804
00:31:54,856 --> 00:31:56,323
Maybe more
than a dozen.
805
00:31:56,325 --> 00:31:59,059
Maybe more like
an entire civilization
806
00:31:59,061 --> 00:32:02,162
living beneath
the Earth.
807
00:32:02,164 --> 00:32:04,164
I love the Silurians
because there's
808
00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:06,666
a lot of credibility
to their existence
809
00:32:06,668 --> 00:32:08,602
and their being and where
they could've come from
810
00:32:08,604 --> 00:32:11,271
and the idea that,
a long time ago,
811
00:32:11,273 --> 00:32:12,739
there was a race of reptiles
that, you know,
812
00:32:12,741 --> 00:32:14,207
roamed this planet.
813
00:32:14,209 --> 00:32:17,477
They feel that they have
claim to planet Earth,
814
00:32:17,479 --> 00:32:19,579
more so than
the human race
815
00:32:19,581 --> 00:32:21,314
because they were here
much, much earlier,
816
00:32:21,316 --> 00:32:22,782
in prehistoric times.
817
00:32:22,784 --> 00:32:25,685
And there's this
one moment where he just
818
00:32:25,687 --> 00:32:28,054
sets the Silurians down
in front of Amy
819
00:32:28,056 --> 00:32:29,656
and sort of
a delegation of people
820
00:32:29,658 --> 00:32:31,091
and he's like "all right,
well, work it out.
821
00:32:31,093 --> 00:32:33,426
You need to work out how
to share the planet together."
822
00:32:33,428 --> 00:32:35,462
The future pivots
around you,
823
00:32:35,464 --> 00:32:38,164
here, now.
824
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:39,699
So do good.
825
00:32:39,701 --> 00:32:42,168
For humanity.
826
00:32:42,170 --> 00:32:43,670
And for Earth.
827
00:32:43,672 --> 00:32:45,639
Right.
828
00:32:45,641 --> 00:32:47,674
No pressure there,
then!
829
00:32:47,676 --> 00:32:50,377
We can't share
the planet!
830
00:32:50,379 --> 00:32:52,212
Nobody on the surface
is going to
831
00:32:52,214 --> 00:32:54,314
go for this idea, it is
just too big a leap.
832
00:32:54,316 --> 00:32:56,616
Come on,
833
00:32:56,618 --> 00:32:58,952
be extraordinary.
834
00:32:58,954 --> 00:33:01,388
Oh, you --
835
00:33:01,390 --> 00:33:03,356
hmm.
836
00:33:06,227 --> 00:33:08,828
Okay.
837
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:13,667
Bringing things
to order --
838
00:33:13,669 --> 00:33:16,836
the first meeting
of representatives
839
00:33:16,838 --> 00:33:18,505
of the human race
and homo reptilia
840
00:33:18,507 --> 00:33:20,974
is now in session.
841
00:33:20,976 --> 00:33:23,443
Ha!
842
00:33:23,445 --> 00:33:25,812
Never said that before.
That's fab.
843
00:33:25,814 --> 00:33:27,080
Carry on.
844
00:33:27,082 --> 00:33:28,582
It's almost like he works
845
00:33:28,584 --> 00:33:30,417
at the United Nations
of the Universe.
846
00:33:30,419 --> 00:33:33,520
I mean, if you're going
purely by squatter's rights,
847
00:33:33,522 --> 00:33:35,655
the Silurians
have us beat,
848
00:33:35,657 --> 00:33:39,893
so, you know, it's just
figuring out ways
849
00:33:39,895 --> 00:33:41,995
for them to coexist.
850
00:33:41,997 --> 00:33:45,999
Can we share it?
Can we not?
851
00:33:46,001 --> 00:33:48,969
And, obviously, the right answer
is "yes, we can share it,
852
00:33:48,971 --> 00:33:50,470
but it's going to
take time."
853
00:33:50,472 --> 00:33:53,640
My priority is
my race's survival.
854
00:33:53,642 --> 00:33:55,475
The Earth isn't ready
for us to return yet.
855
00:33:55,477 --> 00:33:57,010
No.
856
00:33:57,012 --> 00:33:58,478
10 minutes,
Doctor.
857
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,380
But maybe it should be.
So here's a deal.
858
00:34:00,382 --> 00:34:02,148
Everybody,
listening.
859
00:34:02,150 --> 00:34:03,650
Eldane, you
activate shutdown.
860
00:34:03,652 --> 00:34:05,151
I'll amend
the system.
861
00:34:05,153 --> 00:34:07,454
Set your alarm for
1,000 years' time.
862
00:34:07,456 --> 00:34:08,955
1,000 years, to sort
the planet out,
863
00:34:08,957 --> 00:34:10,390
to be ready.
864
00:34:10,392 --> 00:34:11,891
Pass it on,
as legend or prophecy
865
00:34:11,893 --> 00:34:13,493
or religion,
866
00:34:13,495 --> 00:34:15,395
but, somehow,
make it known --
867
00:34:15,397 --> 00:34:17,464
this planet is
to be shared.
868
00:34:17,466 --> 00:34:20,066
Yeah, I get you.
869
00:34:21,436 --> 00:34:23,169
That was the weirdest part,
where the Doctor's like
870
00:34:23,171 --> 00:34:24,671
"you know what?
Just wait 1,000 years."
871
00:34:24,673 --> 00:34:27,540
They're like "good, good, yes,
1,000, that'll be fine."
872
00:34:27,542 --> 00:34:29,576
Makes you think,
873
00:34:29,578 --> 00:34:31,478
in the Doctor's universe
and life,
874
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,979
"1,000 years?
That's a blink.
875
00:34:32,981 --> 00:34:35,348
Yeah, I can live with that.
We can work with that."
876
00:34:35,350 --> 00:34:36,516
That's politics.
877
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:42,689
The nebula is a collection
of 27 planets
878
00:34:42,691 --> 00:34:46,292
that, when they're in
alignment with each other,
879
00:34:46,294 --> 00:34:48,261
gravitational forces
and whatever else
880
00:34:48,263 --> 00:34:50,063
creates the right
circumstances
881
00:34:50,065 --> 00:34:53,767
to make a reality bomb
which Davros will use
882
00:34:53,769 --> 00:34:56,036
to destroy everything.
883
00:34:56,038 --> 00:34:57,637
That's typical
Dalek fashion:
884
00:34:57,639 --> 00:34:59,606
"If we can't have it,
no one can."
885
00:34:59,608 --> 00:35:02,342
The Daleks are
all about thinking big,
886
00:35:02,344 --> 00:35:06,479
especially when they have Davros
kind of pulling the strings.
887
00:35:06,481 --> 00:35:09,082
I'm not sure of
his motivation for this
888
00:35:09,084 --> 00:35:11,518
because he won't know
he's succeeded
889
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,019
because he'll be dead.
890
00:35:13,021 --> 00:35:14,821
Oh, my God!
891
00:35:14,823 --> 00:35:16,656
Look at the sky.
892
00:35:16,658 --> 00:35:18,458
Oh.
893
00:35:18,460 --> 00:35:21,194
That's impossible.
894
00:35:21,196 --> 00:35:22,796
That's just impossible.
895
00:35:24,099 --> 00:35:26,733
It can't be.
896
00:35:43,417 --> 00:35:45,685
Right, now we're
in trouble.
897
00:35:47,689 --> 00:35:49,756
It's only just beginning.
898
00:35:53,060 --> 00:35:55,428
The Dalek Nebula,
the idea of stealing planets,
899
00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:57,330
that sort of ties back
to an old "Doctor Who" story
900
00:35:57,332 --> 00:35:59,566
called "The Pirate Planet"
by Douglas Adams,
901
00:35:59,568 --> 00:36:01,067
who wrote "Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy"
902
00:36:01,069 --> 00:36:04,671
and the idea that a man was
stealing planets, this captain.
903
00:36:04,673 --> 00:36:06,773
And, again, what's
good about "Doctor Who" is
904
00:36:06,775 --> 00:36:08,641
it doesn't forget its past
and it brings back,
905
00:36:08,643 --> 00:36:11,177
you know, old enemies
or old ideas.
906
00:36:11,179 --> 00:36:13,680
"Doctor Who's"
always full of rumors
907
00:36:13,682 --> 00:36:17,383
and assumptions
and predictions,
908
00:36:17,385 --> 00:36:20,220
but when you hear that,
down the line,
909
00:36:20,222 --> 00:36:23,423
Davros might be returning,
you think
910
00:36:23,425 --> 00:36:26,993
"Oh, I hope that's true.
I hope that's true"
911
00:36:26,995 --> 00:36:31,131
and, wow, yes,
he gloriously came back.
912
00:36:31,133 --> 00:36:32,766
Davros is a classic
"Who" villain.
913
00:36:32,768 --> 00:36:34,968
He's been around
since the early days
914
00:36:34,970 --> 00:36:37,337
of "Doctor Who"
and he is
915
00:36:37,339 --> 00:36:41,040
the person who actually
invented the Daleks.
916
00:36:41,042 --> 00:36:42,509
And you can see
there's this moment
917
00:36:42,511 --> 00:36:43,943
when David Tennant,
who's normally
918
00:36:43,945 --> 00:36:47,180
fairly unflappable,
suddenly realizes
919
00:36:47,182 --> 00:36:50,817
that Davros is back
and you can see in his eyes
920
00:36:50,819 --> 00:36:54,687
what a disaster that means
for the entire Universe.
921
00:36:56,223 --> 00:36:58,024
Your voice
is different
922
00:36:58,026 --> 00:37:00,627
and, yet,
923
00:37:00,629 --> 00:37:03,129
its arrogance
is unchanged.
924
00:37:03,131 --> 00:37:05,231
No.
925
00:37:05,233 --> 00:37:06,833
But he's dead.
926
00:37:06,835 --> 00:37:11,104
Welcome
to my new empire,
927
00:37:11,106 --> 00:37:12,605
Doctor.
928
00:37:12,607 --> 00:37:14,073
It is only fitting
929
00:37:14,075 --> 00:37:15,575
that you should
bear witness
930
00:37:15,577 --> 00:37:18,211
to the resurrection
and the triumph
931
00:37:18,213 --> 00:37:20,046
of Davros,
932
00:37:20,048 --> 00:37:24,150
lord and creator of
the Dalek race.
933
00:37:26,020 --> 00:37:27,821
Doctor?
934
00:37:27,823 --> 00:37:30,990
Have you nothing
to say?
935
00:37:30,992 --> 00:37:34,494
He's very good at carrying
out a plan, that Davros.
936
00:37:34,496 --> 00:37:36,963
Not superfun
to hang out with,
937
00:37:36,965 --> 00:37:38,531
not really that great
to talk to,
938
00:37:38,533 --> 00:37:40,433
but a master planner.
939
00:37:40,435 --> 00:37:43,469
Darth Vadar and his like
might just have
940
00:37:43,471 --> 00:37:44,971
one Death Star,
941
00:37:44,973 --> 00:37:47,740
but, in order to be
better-prepared,
942
00:37:47,742 --> 00:37:49,275
the Daleks will arrange
a galaxyful.
943
00:37:49,277 --> 00:37:50,777
But, of course,
944
00:37:50,779 --> 00:37:53,880
the Doctor will always find
a way just to undercut that
945
00:37:53,882 --> 00:37:57,417
and he'll find the way
to let it all unravel
946
00:37:57,419 --> 00:37:59,252
like a big piece
of knitting.
947
00:37:59,254 --> 00:38:00,753
You're
a housemate.
948
00:38:00,755 --> 00:38:04,057
You're in the house.
949
00:38:04,059 --> 00:38:05,859
Take all of television's
worst TV shows
950
00:38:05,861 --> 00:38:07,627
and then
make them deadly.
951
00:38:09,063 --> 00:38:10,830
Rose is like
952
00:38:10,832 --> 00:38:12,332
"Sorry, I pick you.
953
00:38:12,334 --> 00:38:13,833
"That's how
the game works.
954
00:38:13,835 --> 00:38:15,902
Oh, wait.
I just killed you."
955
00:38:18,689 --> 00:38:21,590
I would characterize the
destinations as limitless,
956
00:38:21,592 --> 00:38:23,525
unlimited by the flights
of the imagination
957
00:38:23,527 --> 00:38:25,260
of the writers,
958
00:38:25,262 --> 00:38:27,362
and, as the time's
gone on,
959
00:38:27,364 --> 00:38:29,231
their imaginations
just seem to get broader.
960
00:38:32,335 --> 00:38:34,603
Another amazing destination
that the Doctor
961
00:38:34,605 --> 00:38:37,305
takes Rose to is
Satellite Five,
962
00:38:37,307 --> 00:38:41,576
which is this new station
that's run by this evil editor.
963
00:38:41,578 --> 00:38:44,012
I loved Satellite Five
because it was "Doctor Who"
964
00:38:44,014 --> 00:38:46,114
at its satirical best.
965
00:38:46,116 --> 00:38:48,416
It turns out the editor
of Satellite Five
966
00:38:48,418 --> 00:38:51,019
is Simon Pegg and you see
Simon Pegg show up
967
00:38:51,021 --> 00:38:52,587
and you're like "okay,
everything's going to be okay.
968
00:38:52,589 --> 00:38:54,823
"It's Simon Pegg. Nothing can be
wrong. He can't be a villain."
969
00:38:54,825 --> 00:38:56,725
Turns out he's
the worst kind of villain:
970
00:38:56,727 --> 00:38:58,193
He's a businessman.
971
00:38:58,195 --> 00:38:59,561
This is not
972
00:38:59,563 --> 00:39:01,062
the fourth great and
bountiful human empire.
973
00:39:01,064 --> 00:39:04,900
In fact, it's not
actually human at all,
974
00:39:04,902 --> 00:39:06,501
it's merely a place where
humans happen to live.
975
00:39:08,005 --> 00:39:10,105
Yeah.
976
00:39:10,107 --> 00:39:11,673
Yeah.
977
00:39:11,675 --> 00:39:14,409
Sorry.
978
00:39:14,411 --> 00:39:16,211
It's a place where humans
are allowed to live
979
00:39:16,213 --> 00:39:18,713
by kind permission
of my client.
980
00:39:18,715 --> 00:39:21,216
And,. As they get
further and further
981
00:39:21,218 --> 00:39:23,518
into the upper echelons
of who's controlling
982
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,054
the news,
it is obviously
983
00:39:26,056 --> 00:39:27,589
this horrible creature
984
00:39:27,591 --> 00:39:29,491
that's essentially
all mouth,
985
00:39:29,493 --> 00:39:31,026
as far as
I can tell.
986
00:39:31,028 --> 00:39:34,196
You mean that thing's
in charge of Satellite Five?
987
00:39:34,198 --> 00:39:36,231
That "thing,"
as you put it,
988
00:39:36,233 --> 00:39:37,732
is in charge
of the human race.
989
00:39:37,734 --> 00:39:39,501
For almost
a hundred years,
990
00:39:39,503 --> 00:39:41,603
mankind has been
shaped and guided,
991
00:39:41,605 --> 00:39:43,104
his knowledge
and ambition
992
00:39:43,106 --> 00:39:44,973
strictly controlled
by its broadcast news,
993
00:39:44,975 --> 00:39:47,108
edited by
my superior,
994
00:39:47,110 --> 00:39:50,011
your master,
995
00:39:50,013 --> 00:39:51,513
and humanity's
guiding light --
996
00:39:51,515 --> 00:39:53,081
the mighty Jagrafess
997
00:39:53,083 --> 00:39:55,317
of the holy Hadrojassic
Maxarodenfoe.
998
00:39:55,319 --> 00:39:57,619
I call him "Max."
999
00:39:57,621 --> 00:40:00,689
And Simon Pegg reports
to the Jagrafess,
1000
00:40:00,691 --> 00:40:02,591
which is just a mouth
on a ceiling,
1001
00:40:02,593 --> 00:40:05,060
and he calls him "Max."
1002
00:40:05,062 --> 00:40:06,528
You can't give
a horrible monster
1003
00:40:06,530 --> 00:40:08,230
a cute nickname
like "Max."
1004
00:40:08,232 --> 00:40:09,531
Max is a cool name.
1005
00:40:09,533 --> 00:40:12,067
The next time that they
visit Satellite Five,
1006
00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:15,670
of course, it's game shows
that they're dealing with
1007
00:40:15,672 --> 00:40:17,405
and not a news organization,
but, in some ways,
1008
00:40:17,407 --> 00:40:19,274
that's even more
insidious.
1009
00:40:19,276 --> 00:40:20,775
What's your name,
then, sweetheart?
1010
00:40:20,777 --> 00:40:23,078
The Doctor, I think.
I was, uh --
1011
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,146
I don't know.
What happened?
1012
00:40:25,148 --> 00:40:27,849
You got chosen.
1013
00:40:27,851 --> 00:40:29,351
Chosen for what?
1014
00:40:29,353 --> 00:40:32,020
You're a housemate.
You're in the house.
1015
00:40:32,022 --> 00:40:33,555
Christopher Eccleston
suddenly appears
1016
00:40:33,557 --> 00:40:37,659
in this brightly colored room
which is really confusing.
1017
00:40:37,661 --> 00:40:41,463
And he's suddenly in
"Big Brother"
1018
00:40:41,465 --> 00:40:43,632
and he's taking part
in a game show.
1019
00:40:43,634 --> 00:40:46,034
Of course!
1020
00:40:46,036 --> 00:40:48,203
Doctor Who would be
a great roommate because
1021
00:40:48,205 --> 00:40:50,972
he, in one episode,
kills the devil.
1022
00:40:50,974 --> 00:40:53,875
How would you not
want that guy
1023
00:40:53,877 --> 00:40:55,777
on your side
at a bar,
1024
00:40:55,779 --> 00:40:59,581
helping you flirt/
killing the devil?
1025
00:41:04,787 --> 00:41:07,856
You are live
on channel 44000.
1026
00:41:07,858 --> 00:41:09,891
Please do not swear.
1027
00:41:09,893 --> 00:41:11,393
You have got
to be kidding.
1028
00:41:11,395 --> 00:41:13,561
Satellite Five was
basically what happens
1029
00:41:13,563 --> 00:41:17,098
when you take all of
television's worst TV shows
1030
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:19,267
and then make them deadly.
1031
00:41:19,269 --> 00:41:22,470
My favorite bit is
"The Weakest Link,"
1032
00:41:22,472 --> 00:41:24,105
where Anne Robinson
is actually a robot
1033
00:41:24,107 --> 00:41:26,041
and she has the power
to destroy.
1034
00:41:26,043 --> 00:41:28,176
Why Fitch?
1035
00:41:28,178 --> 00:41:29,477
Uh --
1036
00:41:29,479 --> 00:41:30,979
I think she got a few
of the questions wrong,
1037
00:41:30,981 --> 00:41:33,014
that's all.
1038
00:41:33,016 --> 00:41:34,349
And you'd know
all about that.
1039
00:41:35,818 --> 00:41:38,019
Well, yeah, but I can't
vote for myself,
1040
00:41:38,021 --> 00:41:39,854
so it had to be
Fitch.
1041
00:41:41,857 --> 00:41:44,059
I'm sorry.
That's the game.
1042
00:41:44,061 --> 00:41:47,062
That's how it works.
I had to vote for someone.
1043
00:41:47,064 --> 00:41:48,797
Let me try again --
it was the lights
1044
00:41:48,799 --> 00:41:50,699
and everything --
I couldn't think.
1045
00:41:50,701 --> 00:41:52,200
It's very much
a reflection
1046
00:41:52,202 --> 00:41:53,568
on the media
and television.
1047
00:41:53,570 --> 00:41:55,370
We were obsessed
by reality TV,
1048
00:41:55,372 --> 00:41:56,671
it was getting nastier
and nastier,
1049
00:41:56,673 --> 00:41:58,506
and, you know, the next
step on will be
1050
00:41:58,508 --> 00:41:59,674
they will be
killing people.
1051
00:41:59,676 --> 00:42:01,276
Oh, God, help me!
1052
00:42:05,181 --> 00:42:06,381
Fitch,
1053
00:42:06,383 --> 00:42:07,816
you are
The Weakest Link.
1054
00:42:07,818 --> 00:42:08,950
Goodbye.
1055
00:42:10,753 --> 00:42:12,954
♪
1056
00:42:15,891 --> 00:42:17,992
And we've gone
to the adverts.
1057
00:42:17,994 --> 00:42:19,994
Back in three minutes!
1058
00:42:19,996 --> 00:42:21,930
It was really
quite something
1059
00:42:21,932 --> 00:42:25,166
because Rose is like
"sorry, I pick you.
1060
00:42:25,168 --> 00:42:26,868
"That's how
the game works.
1061
00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:28,903
Oh, wait.
I just killed you."
1062
00:42:28,905 --> 00:42:30,839
And, of course,
behind all of that was
1063
00:42:30,841 --> 00:42:33,975
that the Daleks were
controlling humans
1064
00:42:33,977 --> 00:42:36,778
and, ultimately, the Earth,
through Satellite Five.
1065
00:42:36,780 --> 00:42:39,414
I think most of the television
output feels, at the moment,
1066
00:42:39,416 --> 00:42:42,050
that it was probably
invented by the Daleks.
1067
00:42:42,052 --> 00:42:44,386
We're being
controlled, people.
1068
00:42:44,388 --> 00:42:46,121
Questions need
to be asked.
1069
00:42:46,123 --> 00:42:47,622
And, by the way,
1070
00:42:47,624 --> 00:42:49,491
the death game shows,
of course they'll happen.
1071
00:42:49,493 --> 00:42:52,394
Of course it'll happen.
1072
00:42:52,396 --> 00:42:54,095
Probably within a decade,
I would say
1073
00:42:54,097 --> 00:42:55,597
death game shows.
1074
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:58,600
Maybe that could be the next
iteration of the Kardashians.
1075
00:42:58,602 --> 00:43:00,668
Now, that one,
I would watch.
1076
00:43:00,670 --> 00:43:03,004
The amazing thing
about the destinations
1077
00:43:03,006 --> 00:43:06,040
in "Doctor Who" is
that the opportunities here
1078
00:43:06,042 --> 00:43:07,642
are really endless,
for what can happen.
1079
00:43:07,644 --> 00:43:09,144
Are...right.
1080
00:43:09,146 --> 00:43:10,578
The destinations are great
because it could be
1081
00:43:10,580 --> 00:43:11,913
another planet,
1082
00:43:11,915 --> 00:43:13,481
it could be
another dimension.
1083
00:43:13,483 --> 00:43:14,949
This must be
biographies!
1084
00:43:14,951 --> 00:43:18,119
The fact that the Doctor
can almost be in any situation
1085
00:43:18,121 --> 00:43:21,289
and it not be weird, strange,
or unbelievable, it kind of says
1086
00:43:21,291 --> 00:43:24,225
why the show's so fantastic
and it's run for so long.
1087
00:43:24,227 --> 00:43:26,528
Burning, falling.
All of it falling!
1088
00:43:26,530 --> 00:43:28,329
Well,
that's the whole point
1089
00:43:28,331 --> 00:43:30,632
of watching "Doctor Who,"
is getting to see
1090
00:43:30,634 --> 00:43:32,567
all the different planets
he gets to travel through.
