Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor inspired David Tennant to become an actor.
Now, David Tennant himself as the Tenth Doctor inspired Ncuti Gatwa to become an actor.
This show has a history of memories in so many generations of people, there's nothing in the world that is quite like it.

It would be neat if Tennant's doctor became The Curator, just settling down, chilling with his art for eternity

They need to bring back the Doctor and Donna for just random, recurring gags. Like there’s an alien spaceship over London, 15 is running around having a terrible time, and it cuts to the Doctor and Donna sitting there, having a coffee, talking about something mundane whilst watching this giant spaceship. Then it cuts back to 15 having a terrible time.

I love how David Tennant’s doctors have respectively had the saddest and happiest endings. And then there was his clone who also had a happy ending. The 15th Doctor is going to be amazing

I love hearing the story about the fan in a wheelchair causing Russell to add the ramp to the TARDIS. Because the whole point of the show is imagining that anybody could be whisked away on an adventure with the Doctor

The life size marionette being practical took me by surprise, I definitely thought they did the whole thing with CGI. Really well done!

As a wheelchair user myself, two other things stood out to me and one of them meant the world to me.. That part where Kate says to Shirley words to the effect of "and you! I've seen you stand up...", I've had that sort of thing happen to me! I have MS and before becoming 100% wheelchair dependent I was able to get to the boot and get my wheelchair out. The times I was told that I didn't deserve a blue parking badge because I could "walk" and was obviously faking😔.

The other thing was watching Shirley freewheel down that ramp in the UNIT hq. Can confirm that doing that sort of thing is so much fun!!!

So unique this regeneration but seeing Tennant and Gatwa together was so much fun to watch

@davidball8370 2 years ago

Ncuti Gatwa and David Tennant together was a joy!

As an old-school Whovian (my first Doctor was Pertwee on PBS in the States) I was split (no pun intended) about the "bi-generation," but then I watched it again and realized it really was the best outcome. 14 gets to be with his best friend and family while 15 gets to fly around and be a madman with a box. Plus, the affection shown between both Doctors was amazing; no jealousy, no envy... just *love*.

Ncuti was partially inspired to become an actor thanks to David Tennant, just like David was partially inspired by Tom Baker. We've come full circle..

I will never ever be over the fact that 15 came into existence holding someone’s hand

That wheelchair ramp got me. I don't even use a wheelchair, but the rush of dignity in that moment went straight to my heart.

@taniabaildon9696 2 years ago

The original ending with Tenant always left me feeling heartbroken, no matter how much I liked Matt Smith. That whole set of scenes where he was saying goodbye, and that he didn't want to go. The Giggle just filled my heart with such peace and love. Thank you! (And I am loving the personality of the new Doctor so far!)

This was the most bonkers episode in the history of Doctor Who

In a good way

NPH dancing to the Spice Girls is gonna live rent free in my head

@sadiesanerd 2 years ago

Ncuti is absolutely perfect. He’s got the playfulness and joy and sparkle of brilliance that is crucial to a good Doctor. I can’t wait to see what he does with the role!!!

@MitchellTF 2 years ago

I love how it's canon the Toymaker just...fakes his accent for the kicks.

@lucashampton6269 2 years ago

NPH was so good. His performance and the music alongside him sent shivers down my spine. Though, I am VERY excited for Ncuti. He's a Doctor that isn't weighed down by trauma left unprocessed. He's still got the memories, he's still got the pain. But, he's free to be himself. He brought SO much energy and I cannot wait for more!

What a way to set up Mel in the new spinoff! Can't wait! And Donna is now working for UNIT? David, Gemma, Bonnie, and Catherine in a spinoff? Yes, please.
