  1. 0:39 -- What Dara says: "Keep it festive!" What the comedians hear: "Try to get as dark, depressing, and/or gross as you can without triggering the wrath of the production team and/or the BBC." 😁
    2300
  2. I'm American and Blackadder is the main thing that springs to my mind when Atkinson's name is mentioned.
    314
  3. 2:13 -- Yep, that's pretty much what I hear when any politician speaks.
    134
  4. I used to work in a grocery store and after seeing this, I had to keep myself from laughing every time a customer bought Fosters.
    103
  5. I have a sneaking suspicion that once Charles ascends the throne, that crowd on the balcony will be thinned out some. He's supposedly on record as wanting to downsize the Royal Family to just him, Camilla, his sons and their families.

  6. The one about being the token Black friend reminded me of a bit either Richard Pryor or Chris Rock used to do to explain why you never saw Black people in horror movies. It was way funnier the way the comedian told it, but it went basically like this: White teenagers are having a party in the woods when they hear spooky noises. Their response: "Let's go check it out!" Black teenagers are having a party in the woods when they hear spooky noises. Their response: "Let's get out of here!"
    81
  7. The first line may not be the funniest, but it's definitely the one that best fits the topic.
    75
  8. +Sophia Cheng I thought Matt was going to smack Benedict in the face at one point. : D
    65
  9. I suspect that when Charles becomes king, that balcony will become less crowded. It'll probably just be him, Camilla, his sons and their families.
    65
  10. 3:45 -- Here in the US, there used to be a calendar called "Porn for Women" that showed good looking, fit guys doing things like washing the dishes, vacuuming, etc... .
    50
  11. Hugh's line about Clara unzipping the Doctor's fly sounds like the premise of a promising fanfic.
    43
  12. 0:18 -- I think that's why certain weather reporters here in the US always seem to get sent out to where hurricanes are about to hit. 😁
    38
  13. Or at least a sneak peek at the Christmas special.
    32
  14. +Shubshub She's done way better Lauren sketches than this. Her delivery wasn't as fast paced as what's normal for a Lauren bit.
    27
  15. +Carlie Pool Too bad we never heard Donna say that during her time as companion.
    23
  16. I didn't think about this until the male announcer mentioned that Prince William expressed a wish that all of his children would somehow become involved with the military, but wouldn't it be fascinating if Princess Charlotte decided to make a career in one of the branches? She'd be the first British princess to do so.
    22
  17. I like both yours and the UK's as well as my American one (of course 😉).
    21
  18.  @charliemacdonald9879  Funny, I could've sworn that I watched the 12th Doctor regenerate into the 13th.
    21
  19. Agreed. The description in the video suggests this is a drama, but the trailer suggests it's a comedy.
    21
  20. The only member of Meghan's immediate family who has any class. And, yes, her outfit was perfect.
    20
  21. The actual topic ("Things That Would Chnage the Atmosphere at a Dinner Party") doesn't quite match the title above ("Commericals That Never Made It to Air").
    20
  22. Ever wonder if Patrick Stewart really had thoughts like that once in a while?
    18
  23. The real shame is being obsessed by numbers that have no bearing on your life.
    18
  24. +Zombie Apocal4pse And how would you know? Did you pop into a TARDIS and go forward to next year when the new series starts?
    17
  25. More like gave us a warning that we didn't heed.
    16
  26. With Donna being his (paid £120,000 and five week holiday) assistant.
    16
  27. There are a lot of fans who would pay good money to smack that bottom themselves. 😁
    16
  28. Because people need a freaking break every once in a while from the gloom and doom. Besides, who says that by having a few hours worth of enjoyment means that you've suddenly stopped caring about everything else in the world? 🙄
    14
  29. +paddygirl It could be argued that Sherlock itself is an AU fanfiction of the original Victorian era stories. Both are awesome. : )
    13
  30. +Chiko was here Yes, this is an one off special. The regular series won't be back until 2017 (last I read).
    13
  31. +Toma “HeavyCake” Hawk I love Cumberbatch's version of Sherlock, but the definitive Sherlock Holmes for me will always be Jeremy Brett. Toma, if you ever get a chance to see Brett's series, do so. I promise you'll change your mind about who "owns" Sherlock.
    12
  32. +Radculas I was wondering if anyone else noticed that bit at the beginning. : )
    12
  33. +Noah Blumenthal More proof that Moffat is the love child of Moriarty and the Master. ; D
    12
  34. David might find one of the people in the picture behind Katherine quite familiar.
    12
  35. Either Mary knows her husband doesn't watch her videos or she's going to have to find a new hiding place for her chocolate. 😁
    12
  36. +Irshaad Mohammed That reminds me of a quote that was attributed to the late Princess Margaret. She supposedly said that when she took her children to museums, she'd let them see only three works of art per visit because she'd rather have them begging to see more than become bored with it.
    11
  37. +Josh McDonald That and all the comments insisting that since Sherlock is in the Victorian era, the Doctor has to be involved somehow.   I'd love to see a Doctor Who / Sherlock crossover as much as the next person, but if it ever happens, it probably won't be as a full episode or special. My guess is that it would be a sketch for Children in Need or Comic Relief.
    11
  38.  @lsmith9249  Tara's just repeating what the character, Melchett, said. If it bothers you that much, take it up with whoever wrote the script.
    11
  39. I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it was a reference to something that was said during this episode.
    11
  40.  @ipellaers  You could've just said they weren't funny. Bringing up their race makes you no better than the people you're complaining about who booked them.
    11
  41. Is it just me or did those last few steps of Benedict's "Beyonce" walk turn into a Monty Python sketch?
    10
  42. The best way I can describe Brett's performance is this:  Pretend there's a sci fi machine that can scan a book and reproduce a character from that book in human form.  That machine scanned the Sherlock Holmes stories and spit out Jeremy Brett.
    10
  43. +DreamerTheTimeLady Nah, the Doctor and Sherlock didn't get into an argument over what's better: a Mind Palace or a Mind TARDIS?
    10
  44. After two kids, I'm sure David's wife doesn't have any complaints about the size of his sonic screwdriver.  *LOL*
    10
  45. I've been a fan of Doctor Who since the early 1980s and I definitely remember watching Series 12.
    10
  46. Are gift bags not a thing in the UK? Despite being a woman myself, wrapping presents is not one of my best skills, so if it's not already in a box, I just place the gift inside some tissue paper and put it in a gift bag. Much easier than the man wrap.
    10
  47. Because Black women rodeo riders in the US are not common.
    10
  48. +Kate Mc Gowan That's so far ahead in time that I don't think even the Doctor has been there yet!
    9
  49. +Inediblehulk Okay, I'll grant that you could make an argument about the joke being sexist (in that you wouldn't hear the same joke being made about a male player), but where does the alleged racism come into play? Any female tennis player that has name recognition could've been used for that joke.
    9
  50. But apparently the BBC's YouTube channel is perfectly acceptable to watch?
    9
  51. Good thing Troy didn't have a British interpreter. The person would've needed someone to translate the ASL into BSL before he/she could translate it into spoken English. 😁
    9
  52.  @dvferyance  Well, I could very well be biased since my dad's side of the family is from Baltimore, where the anthem was written, but I like it.
    9
  53. "Next on the Travel Channel: an actual show about traveling."
    9
  54. Before posting snippy and unoriginal comments, you might want to get your facts straight. Rosie Jones has cerebral palsy.
    9
  55.  @saltynutzz  In real life, people of different races are capable of having children together, so for the purposes of that segment, it could very well be the child of Catherine's character.
    9
  56. It is.
    9
  57. It's things like this that make British TV so awesome! I just can't picture any of our news personalities here in the States doing something like this.
    9
  58. +Gwyn Williams Seems to me that I've heard the same thing, that Charles is planning on using George VII as his "reigning" name (I'm sure there's a proper term for it, but you get the idea. 🙂). However, for the purposes of this play, King Charles III pretty much summarizes it. People would immediately realize that it's a play about when Charles finally becomes the King. A lot of people wouldn't necessarily make that same connection if the play was titled, King George VII .
    8
  59. +typacsk "Insane" is a perfect word to describe the American electorate. If I may tweak the quotation a bit: The definition of insanity is to elect the same two groups of people over and over again and expect a different result.
    8
  60. +James Ford There were three companions who died in the Classic Who era. Exterminate Clara? That would probably be the only time I'd be rooting for the Daleks. : )
    8
  61. 0:05 -- "If they don't want her to be smart, she won't be smart." Okay, maybe because I am a woman, I'm not understanding this, but I was always under the impression that guys who like imaginary sex partners don't spend much time conversing with them about things like how to solve the Middle East crisis or the best way to create a colony on Mars.
    8
  62. +Lessien Séregon Don't ask me why, but I think the crinkle above her nose when she laughs is adorable.
    8
  63. +Devanuj Baruah Or was it the other way round? ; )
    7
  64. +Sofia Castro I can't say for certain that I believe it's Molly, but it sounds more like her than Mary.
    7
  65. +no my dear, that chapter is done. In that era, unless the two men were relatives, men always called their friends, even their BFFs, by their surnames.
    7
  66. It's a kilt.
    7
  67. Mock the Week was created by the same guys who created Whose Line.
    7
  68. She was barely in this video. It must be really sad to let one person have that much power over you that a brief glimpse upsets you that much.
    7
  69. It looked more like the Regency era to me.
    7
  70. He stopped doing that after the Jimmy Savile abuse allegations came out around 2011-12.
    7
  71. Same here, and I'm not British.
    7
  72. It's Lauren's catchphrase, "Am I bovvered?", expressed in the style of Elizabethan English.
    7
  73. Considering that William and Catherine are the couple that will become King and Queen in due course, it's perfectly natural to pay more attention to them.
    7
  74. +Zuber Commodore I'll grant you that the concept behind "Sleep No More" was good, but somehow the potential it had got lost as it was being made.
    6
  75. +Chaudhry Rajinder Nijjhar Jatt Uh, no. I'm not an expert in British nationality law, but I would imagine that a child born on British soil to two parents who were British citizens when he was born would be British himself. However, if you're referencing genealogy rather than citizenship, my response is still, "Uh, no." Despite having started out his life as a Greek prince, Prince Philip is of primarily German and Danish ancestry.
    6
  76. +toonlover Fenric would be a good fit for New Who. I don't remember if he survived "The Curse of Fenric", though.
    6
  77. +temima averick The story I read was that Moffat thought Matt was too wacky to be Watson.
    6
  78.  @Neth110  The second wasn't a full regeneration, though.
    6
  79.  @charliebear144  I was thinking more along the lines of Benedict Cumberbatch during the last season of Sherlock.
    6
  80.  @TheMoonRover  "Duchess Meghan" isn't correct either. It's the Duchess of Sussex. You don't pair a title of nobility (e.g., Duke, Earl, Viscount, etc...) with the holder's first name (e.g., Diana's brother is Earl Spencer, not Earl Charles).
    6
  81. Gibson is playing the companion, not the Doctor.
    6
  82. Not surprising since she is British.
    6
  83. This is what makes British TV the best in the world! It's very, very rare to see a cast of a TV show here in the US doing something like this.
    6
  84. +GURken That's the Russian series, I presume? I've never seen it, but I've heard that it's very good.
    5
  85. +001BINARY100 Yep. However, one could argue that Moffat and Gatiss' modern version is an AU fanfic of the original Victorian era stories.
    5
  86. +Doctor Dalek No. From what I remember from "The Brain of Morbius" (1975 or 76 -- too lazy to look it up right now), the Sisterhood appear to be a religious order that worships a flame that resides in their temple. This flame does something to the rock enclave that surrounds it that produces the elixir that healed the dying Fourth Doctor and kick started a regeneration in the already dead Eighth Doctor.
    5
  87. +Aimee Shaw I'm surprised John Rear stuck around this long. If he hates "SJW Feminist [cow feces]", then he should've stopped watching when characters like Jack, Vastra & Jenny, Clara, and Bill were introduced.
    5
  88. +Chaudhry Rajinder Nijjhar Jatt Who? Prince Philip? If it's him you're referring to, my understanding is that, being a prince, he never had what you and I would consider a surname. However, when he became a naturalized British citizen before his marriage to then Princess Elizabeth, he renounced his Greek titles and had to adopt a standard surname. He chose Mountbatten because it was the surname of his closest relative in the UK.
    5
  89. +Yohana Vargas Sitting at the same table as the Doctor! One step closer to a proper Wholock, perhaps?
    5
  90. Jabba 101 Sherlock was using "ghosts" as a metaphor for bad memories and experiences that negatively affect a person for a long time after the fact.  He wasn't referring to the ones who come out and say, "Boo!".
    5
  91. +FeatherKC I read somewhere that she is. If so, then the question is who is Victorian Molly? There were female doctors in that time period, but not many.
    5
  92. How do you know that the club scene isn't a viable part of the story without context?
    5
  93. Have you ever seen the French skit? https://youtu.be/BSSTt0PzM0s
    5
  94. This is one reason I love British TV so much. Even with it being for charity, I just can't imagine any of our news personalities here in the States doing something like this.
    5
  95. Time Crash was iconic on three levels: (a) Doctor from new series meeting Doctor from classic series, (b) David Tennant gushing like a fanboy, and (c) David deciding to give Peter a granddaughter (okay, that wasn't actually in the episode, but it did happen eventually **LOL**).
    5
  96. I'd like to see another series of Sherlock myself, but I don't expect the actors involved to be sitting in their homes doing nothing while waiting for a phone call from Steven Moffat or Mark Gatiss.
    5
  97. 0:51 -- The "wife's mother's daughter" could be his sister-in-law. 🙃
    5
  98. 1:42 -- Ironically, my family had an experience similar to that. We were looking for somewhere to spend the night and it just so happened that we couldn't find a room where we stopped because there was a Star Trek convention in town.
    5
  99. When I watched Classic Who here in the States, we had to wait anywhere from one to three years for new seasons, plus the sixteen years between the Classic and the New Series. I think I can survive the change from the Doctor Who Christmas special to the Doctor Who New Year's Day special.
    5
  100. Extra Credit: Do so without using swear words.
    5
  101.  @rykerhasyounow  I'm not saying their race and gender should be brought up every time these women compete, but for a documentary, I see nothing wrong with highlighting that they are competing in a field in which women like them don't traditionally participate. Who knows? Maybe some young Black girl will see this and be inspired to become a rodeo rider herself.
    5
  102. She reminds me of one of my cousins. This female cousin is around six feet tall, yet still likes to wear really high heels.
    5
  103. +James At Still fulfills the category, though. 🙂
    4
  104. +ruthmeb Because Watson told him to wear it. : D
    4
  105. +David Chalmers I know there have been some exceptions (Ten wearing a tux to fancy parties comes to mind), but as a general rule, when has any Doctor cared about what was "appropriate" clothing? : )
    4
  106. +Guardian Eris Very true.
    4
  107. +Luka Yu The Queen's youngest grandchild is named James. But, then again, the likelihood of him inheriting the throne is very, very slim (he's currently tenth in line, I believe).
    4
  108. Tebigong101 The only Doctors I really have had the hots for are the Fifth (Peter Davison) and Tenth (David Tennant). So funny that they're related now.
    4
  109. +Claire H It was Mycroft.
    4
  110. +Cory Sarzotti The batteries ran out because of Clara. ; )
    4
  111. +Mustafalllica Maybe we'll get to see him and Benedict Cumberbatch together in a Marvel movie (assuming Doctor Strange does well enough for Marvel to keep BC as Strange).
    4
  112. +Loras Tyrell Indulging in some WhoTrek? ; D
    4
  113. TheRecreator   This is true.  When TPTB during the Third Doctor's era wanted to create a villain from the Doctor's own people, the idea was that the villain would be the Moriarty to the Doctor's Sherlock.
    4
  114. tomlikespizza Something unlikely to hear in a McDonald's (at least in the US): an employee speaking Standard American English and "Wow, you got my order right!"
    4
  115. @Helen Scott: Did you hear that last sentence before the clip ended?  The boy apparently didn't want to get a picture of him with Capaldi.  I bet that boy is kicking himself now.  *LOL*
    4
  116. alfonso ontiveros You're kidding, right?  Tom Baker was only the longest serving Doctor (seven years) and the most beloved of the classic era Doctors. 
    4
  117. ​ @adamxcx  It's a kilt.
    4
  118. This was before David started dating Georgia.
    4
  119.  @orbachinpothik3279  I was thinking more along the lines of making the military an actual career like Harry and Andrew.
    4
  120. The next major one is probably going to be Archie's christening.
    4
  121. Spanish isn't endangered by any means.
    4
  122. What would you rather have her do, frown and stick out her tongue at the cameras? 🙄
    4
  123. Latinx is not a language.
    4
  124.  @3941602  So you mean the alleged "movement" to use the word, "Latinx", to replace "Latina" and "Latino"? Why didn't you say that in the first place? I don't think "Latinx" is as prevalent as you believe. As far as I'm aware (and I realize I could be very wrong), only the US uses that term.
    4
  125. @TinyKemper 25: "Time Crash" was a Children in Need skit.
    4
  126.  @jason4275  I doubt it. By the time William becomes king, all the Cambridge children will probably have at least one child each, which will make the likelihood of Archie and any subsequent Sussex children (if any) inheriting the throne slim to none. There'd be no point in granting a title of prince or princess then.
    4
  127. The reason why Catholics who would've been in the line of succession to the British throne aren't is because the British monarch is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. It makes no sense for someone in that role not to be Anglican.
    4
  128. I know this is a comedy skit and not a reception at Buckingham Palace, but shouldn't the woman who knocked on the dressing room door have called him "Sir Lenny" instead of "Mr. Henry"?
    4
  129. Sad that your education and/or maturity level makes you susceptible to media personalities and politicians telling you what words to use.
    4
  130.  @johnmartinez7440  I don't really like or dislike it, it just looks weird.
    4
  131. The dad said that he was told when Rosie was first diagnosed not to use sign language with his daughter because it would impede her learning speech.
    4
  132. This didn't take place in Hollywood.
    4
  133.  @yobb89  The only tragic event in American history that's referred to by its date that I'm aware of is 9-11. I've never heard anyone refer to tragic events like Pearl Harbor, the Challenger explosion, or the Sandy Hook shootings by their dates (12-7, 1-28, and 12-14 respectively).
    4
  134. Especially Tegan. She wasn't one of my favorite companions, but the fact that she's present means that Janet Fielding is doing better after her cancer battle.
    4
  135. Did you know that both shows were created by the same guys? And that Whose Line was a British show long before the US version premiered?
    4
  136. "... why would you do a good deed for an organisation that indirectly killed your child." Because you're not doing a good deed for the organization, you're doing a good deed for the people who end up receiving the child's organs.

  137. Not Netflix, Disney Plus.
    4
  138. +Ironed Sandwich Milton is definitely an acquired taste.
    3
  139. +Traeschi35 This is an one off special. No connection to the other episodes.
    3
  140. xADesignz   Oh, you know they would.   : )   I'd really love to see Sherlock's reaction to the TARDIS as well. There's a neat piece of funny fan art floating around online that has Sherlock, John, and the 11th Doctor inside the TARDIS.  John doesn't seem to have much difficulty accepting that the inside is bigger than the outside, but Sherlock has a mental breakdown because the existence of the TARDIS shouldn't be possible.
    3
  141. +Imy Walker It might be how a Victorian era person would've said the address.
    3
  142. +Maya b Who cares? She got her picture taken with an actor she admires. If I was in a similar situation, I wouldn't care one iota that my fantasy picture ended up not being a selfie. : )
    3
  143. +Roos van Vlijmen I'd love to see Andrew Scott as Victorian Moriarty, but I don't think he's going to be in it. That is, unless Moffat and Gatiss decide to surprise us.
    3
  144. +Aralis J I always root for the bulls. : )
    3
  145. Amanda Brodersen   This special will air in December.  Season 4, last I read, won't be aired until 2017.
    3
  146. Looking forward (in no particular order) to Sherlock, the remainder of this series of Doctor Who, The Night Manager, and The Hollow Crown (assuming I'm correct as to who I saw at 0:51).
    3
  147. +Random Ross Indulging in a bit of WhoTrek there? ; D Just watched Star trek Into Darkness last week. You probably already knew this, but it had Noel Clarke in it. Not for very long, though. Poor guy. : (
    3
  148. +whutzat Cumbernut sounds neat.
    3
  149. +Sri K Sounds like you're thinking about the Doctor Who Christmas special, "The Snowmen". And there's only a brief bit where the Doctor is pretending to be Sherlock Holmes, but it's still funny.
    3
  150. No, I cried as well.
    3
  151. +MrCool2monkey Ooh, I hadn't thought of that. They could go with the opening they have now with Victorian scenes rather than modern ones. An updated version of the Granada series opener is possible as well.
    3
  152. clperry1701   Oh, good.  Although there were female doctors in England at that time, it was still rare, so I wonder what Molly's role will be.
    3
  153. +Ladyy Door My understanding is that this special has nothing to do with the previous series. Just like +Jonathan Sapida posted, this special is something Moffat and Gatiss wanted to do for fun.
    3
  154. +Darren Wijaya The original stories the show is based off of were written and set in the Victorian era so Moffat and Gatiss decided to do an one off special set in that time period. Nothing to do with any previous or future seasons.
    3
  155. +Miguel Angel That would probably explain how he was able to resist Catwoman prancing around in her skin tight bodysuit (I'm assuming it was a one piece, it's been a little while since I've seen any pictures). ; ) Speaking of which, now that I think about it, I feel sorry for those ladies that played Catwoman. Their bodysuits (or whatever) had to have been so uncomfortable.
    3
  156. I heard about these a little while back and supposedly they have been very helpful for mothers-to-be to be more comfortable and confident when it's time for them to feed their newborns.
    3
  157. I was at home and I'm not ashamed to admit that I started crying (happy tears).
    3
  158. 1Girl248   Then Moffat and company are misleading us.  Every time I've seen them talk about it this year, they keep saying that the special is its own little "bubble", meaning that it has nothing to do with what we've seen before or what we'll see next series.   : )
    3
  159. +1Girl248   *SPOILERS, SHERLOCKIANS* Turns out you were right.  Good thing I watched the special by myself because as soon as it was revealed that the Victorian era was modern Sherlock's drug-fueled imagination, I called Moffat and Gatiss (but mostly Moffat) lying bastards for nearly a hour.   : )
    3
  160. +ptonpc ASL developed from French sign language.
    3
  161. Ido Merchav    I guess I should've been clearer in my response.  ptonpc mentioned that there are "many differences between even BSL and ASL".  I was trying to point out that the main reason for that is the two sign languages have different origins.   : )

  171. If I'm remembering that episode accurately, at some point Gary (I think) was trying to say "Princess Michael of Kent", but it came out as "Princess Monaco of Kent". And, needless to say, he got razzed for it for the rest of the episode.

  175.  @jason4275  That's true, but the point I was trying to make is that if someone was born without the title of prince / princess and is far enough down the line that there's no realistic chance that she / he will ever become the monarch, I don't see why that person would be granted the title.

  178. In the US, fanny is slang for butt. In the UK, it's slang for vagina.

  179. I've never been one for cooking shows. I guess it was because most of the recipes weren't what "real" people eat, plus the hosts were usually as personable as a rock. However, Nadiya has me hooked. She's sweet and energetic and most of the recipes I've come across so far have been things that I can make for normal, everyday meals or desserts.

  193. As much as I would wish that, I think that would've been mentioned by now.  However, Moffat could pull a trick like he did with "The Day of the Doctor" (i.e., Tom Baker showing up unannounced) and have Ian pop up at the end.
    2
  194. The Whovian  Darn it, I'm feeling like Sherlock today - I'm always missing things.  I guess I was so focused on how the elixir helps Time Lords that I forgot that it kept the Sisterhood young and immortal, but only as long as they drank it on a consistent basis.

  198. DrTenochtitlan   Forgot about Kamelion.  Unfortunately, that's too easy to do since he was only in two stories. That character had such potential.  It's too bad the technology then wasn't as advanced as the concept.
    2
  199. +Sri K Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see a crossover between the two as a canon episode (either series) or a full special. Something like that would be better suited as a sketch for Children in Need or Comic Relief.

    2
  207. Shanon Thompson What I meant is that I wished Moffat / Gatiss had produced a purely Victorian episode, like they kept insisting that it was going to be. Not that I didn't enjoy what actually aired, but as a late Victorian era geek, I would've enjoyed the special better if they had kept it in that era for the entire time.
    2
  208. +ogdayflow I thought I heard her voice asking someone, "Who are you?" However, considering that she wasn't a character from the books, it's sadly quite possible we won't see her in this special. I hope I'm wrong, though. : )

  215. +TJ Wells That would be nice. If he is in it, I wonder if Andrew Scott will portray Moriarty closer to how the books depict him instead of his Joker-esque / Simm Master persona? I do like how Andrew Scott portrays Moriarty, but I generally prefer my supervillains to be more cool, calm, and calculating. I'm weird, I know. : )
    2
  216. +Rubie Wildstone If the clip that was released back in July is any indication, we'll see quite a few subtle and not so subtle references to the Granada series in this special.
    2
  217. +MegaStarly I just rewatched this and I think you may be on to something about Davros. The Sister mentioned that the unknown person and the Doctor had been enemies from the start, which is not the case with the Master and the Doctor. They used to be close friends when they were growing up on Gallifrey.
    2
  218. +misterrcommenter That does sound like something Moffat would do.
    2
  219. That reminds me of a video I saw last year around the start of lockdowns. A couple was being interviewed to see how they were coping so far and the interviewer went grocery shopping with the husband. The husband didn't have a regular mask, so he put on a red bandana to enter the store and I remember thinking that he looked more like he was going to rob the place than shop there.

    2
  227. I don't recall ever reading anything in the US Constitution that allows for a presidential election to be nullified. If there ever was a scenario in which it could be proven that a President obtained the office through fraudulent means, the worst thing that could happen to him/her politically is an impeachment and removal from office.

  228. Wasn't that retconned or something when the Doctor fixed the crack in the universe?

  229. Your actions suggest otherwise.

  230. 3:17 -- Considering that the category is "Things You Wouldn't Hear on a Science Documentary," Romesh's apparent suck-up is actually more of a subtle dig at Dara. 🙃

  232.  @mrsose1872  Insults have more punch if (a) you know the background of the person you're trying to insult and (b) it actually addresses whatever problem you have with said person.

  235. This isn't the BBC News channel.
    2
  236. That bit Ed Byrnes did about "How's My Driving" brings to mind a practical joke I thought up but never did. What you'd do is call one of those numbers and tell whoever answers that the driver is following all the traffic rules and make compliments like how smoothly he changes lanes. You know that's going to really confuse the person on the other end because nearly everyone who calls does so to complain about someone's driving.

  238. K-9, then Kamelion, then Nardole. I forgot about Handles.

  239.  @Wannabe_Baby  I always liked the idea of Kamelion. However, the technology wasn't advanced enough at the time to be able to utilize the concept properly.

  243. You're right, I think the dress would've looked better if she had a belt or something to define her waist.

  244. I interpreted Andi's joke about being racist as referring to people of Middle Eastern or South Asian descent since those people are usually the first ethnicity we think of whenever terrorism is discussed.

  245. I hope not. I knew a woman who had the same problem with her pregnancies that Kate had (the severe morning sickness) and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

  246. I think the bear said, "I know you like to eat, too."

  247. People like you remind me of my dad when he "boycotted" the NFL over players kneeling during the National Anthem. He didn't watch the games, but he still looked at NFL news on TV and other stuff online. I told him as long as he had any interaction with the NFL, he wasn't truly boycotting it.
    2
  248.  @Sir-Cuntington  I have a suspicion that you missed the point, but that's okay. You keep on "boycotting" the show.

  255.  Diana Burnett  Someone has to show sympathy for people like you who've had their lives ruined by Meghan simply existing.
    2
  256.  @LE-zy2od  The closest Meghan would ever get to that is if George inherits the throne while still a minor. In that scenario, more than likely Harry would be George's regent until he comes of age.
    2
  257.  @LE-zy2od  You might want to check the official website of the British Monarchy. As of right this moment, Harry is sixth in line. There is always the possibility he could become king, but with William having three children, the likelihood is pretty low. https://www.royal.uk/succession

    1
  286. +Linda Taylor I guess it would all depend on how the writers wanted to use them. If we're talking a scenario in which the 12th Doctor bumps into a previous self and they have an adventure together, the only classic era Doctors that could do that now are Paul McGann (8th) and maybe Peter Davison (5th). A scenario similar to this video, in which the actor is playing a character other than his Doctor, could have any of the classic era Doctors return.

  289. Smashy Smashy Eggman   "You're gonna feel a tad silly when you watch the actual episode" *SPOILER FOR SPECIAL* Why?  Every time Moffat or Gatiss discussed this special this year, they insisted that this was a one-off special, having nothing to do with the regular series.  And, against our better judgement, many of us believed that up until the first modern day scene.    : )

  290. Spare Hawk Me watching the special: *SPOILER* "Moffat and Gatiss are lying bastards!"   : ) 
    1
  291. Jenile Mirage   The comment wasn't wrong based on the information that was given directly from the production team.  They said this special was going to be in its own "little bubble". P.S.  It's "e-i-e-i-o" in the Old MacDonald song.
    1
  292. Jenile Mirage   You'd think we Sherlock and/or Doctor Who fans would know better by now that if we're vehemently told something about an episode or series, we should know it's a lie or red herring.    : /
    1
  293. +Lalit Padekar It's not. I would imagine that if a crossover were to ever happen, it wouldn't be as dark as this trailer is suggesting the special will be. A crossover, in my opinion, would be more suited for a sketch on either Children in Need or Comic Relief.

  294. +Victor Rooroh It's a TV special, but will also be aired in cinemas around the world.

  305. Jonathan Jmaster  The last time Omega was on TV, it was the Doctor who defeated him.  In that story, Omega died because his attempt to gain a stable body failed.
    1
  306. And this was live, right?  Awesome.
    1
  307. Klaus Peters   Maybe.  We still don't know for certain if Moriarty was behind that video or if someone else is using that image for his/her own purposes. After recently reading "The Final Problem", my theory at this point is the culprit is Moriarty's brother.  The story starts out with Watson explaining why he's telling Sherlock's side of the conflict between him and Moriarty.  In that explanation, Watson mentions that a brother of Moriarty's had been spreading his side of the story and Watson wanted to let the truth be known. Since the story never specified if the age of the brother in relation to Professor Moriarty, Moffat could bring Andrew Scott back (if available and willing) as Jim Moriarty's twin brother.  If not, then another actor comes in as an older or younger brother.
    1
  308. johnvile   The PBS Masterpiece version of this trailer has a lighter picture.  It's still generally dark, but some things you can see better.

  309. +Mathieu Leader It's an one-off special for Christmas.

  315. +Elizabeth Johnson I'm sure he has, hence the rumors that have been around for years indicating that he plans to be known as George VII. And if the Queen lives as long as her mother (which is looking quite likely), he'll have about another ten years to keep on thinking about it. 🙂

  316. +Elizabeth Johnston In most countries that have a Prime Minister, that person is the head of government, not head of state. The head of state in those countries is either a president (like France) or a monarch (like Canada).

  317. My first thought was that she's holding a fob watch at 1:44, but at closer look, it appears too thin to be that type of watch. But whatever it is, it's real important if the Doctor's entrusting her to watch it for him.
    1
  318. +Matthew Skoyles Oh, yeah, I forgot about that trailer! I bet you're right.

  319.  @pencraftbyjawahir15  If I'm remembering correctly, in the comics, Doctor Strange had a relationship with a woman who was called the Night Nurse (she helped patch up superheroes who could get hurt). And since I'm a Sherlock/Molly shipper, I asked the original poster (who jokingly called this a Doctor Strange trailer) if that made Molly the Night Pathologist.

    1
  323. +TehWhiteTiger I think he's spread himself too thin by running two extremely popular series. I would suggest that he drop Doctor Who as showrunner and focus on Sherlock, but he'd still have to have something else to occupy him during the downtime between Sherlock series.
    1
  324. TehWhiteTiger   To be honest, I don't think Moffat's been that terrible, but I do agree about him taking the show "all over the place bad".  And I really do think one of the reasons (if not the main one) is because of Sherlock.
    1
  325. +ShmartinJo If what I've been reading and hearing from the creators of Sherlock is true, I don't think you'll need to watch any of the other episodes before this special. If you do go ahead and watch the previous episodes (which I highly recommend), keep in mind that the series' normal setting is present day. This special is just something fun the creators of Sherlock wanted to do since the original books were written and set in the Victorian era.

  328. +Anthony Austin The sonic screwdriver as we know it started its life during the Second Doctor's era, but really became prominent during the Third Doctor's time (appropriate, since that Doctor was really into gadgets). I don't think the Seventh Doctor ever used it. But, to make a long story short, you are right about the screwdriver being integral to a good portion of the Classic Who series.
    1
  329. Anthony Austin   I don't know if Seven used it in the movie.  I only saw the movie once and that was when it was originally released.
    1
  330. kylo ren  If Capaldi sticks with the average length of time an actor has played the Doctor in New Who (nearly 3 years), then Series 10 would more than likely be his last or next to last. But, until I hear an official announcement, Capaldi is still the Doctor for the forseeable future.
    1
  331. +Dawn of Justice Productions I cried a lot (happy tears, of course)!
    1
  332. +Mariana Campaniço Not sure. I haven't heard or seen anything about it either way. If Moffat and Gatiss try to make this special more like the books, Mycroft either won't be in it or his involvement is going to be brief. In the books, Mycroft didn't stray far from the Diogenes Club.

  334. +Dahkittydoonsta Technically, I'd say yes, but considering that this is the Doctor's first female body, she'll probably continue to call herself a "Time Lord" because that's what she's used to doing.

  341. +LifeInPink999 I haven't read or heard anything official about that yet, but I do hope so. If he is, it'd be interesting to see if Moffat and Gatiss tweak the relationship between the Holmes brothers to reflect their less antagonistic relationship in the books.

  346. +Afif Ibrahim I'm not sure what year this particular special is supposed to be set in, but I'm guessing either within the 1880's or 1890's.
    1
  347. Afif Ibrahim   Yes, I know the first three seasons are set in the modern era, but the Christmas special is set in the Victorian era.  This time period is when the original Sherlock Holmes stories were written and set.

  349. susiewousie   Is it a purely Sherlock (TV) or Sherlock Holmes (books) fanfic or is it a crossover with Doctor Who (since I always assume Doctor Who when I see "The Master")? And why would anyone want to quit reading fanfic?   : )
    1
  350. +lesyayandfilksongs I love both, but if I had to pick one, it has to be Brett. The way I see Brett's performance as Holmes is like this: pretend there's a sci-fi machine that can scan a book and create a flesh and blood version of a character in the book. Well, this machine scanned the Sherlock Holmes stories and spit out Jeremy Brett.
    1
  351. lesyayandfilksongs   If you look at the clip that was released back in July, the music and the crowd scene at the beginning are very similar to the Granada series.  There'll probably be other shout-outs throughout the special. I do like your idea of Sherlock playing the Granada series theme on the violin.  That'd be so cool.

  358. +Cupcake Kat I thought he was going to hit Benedict in the face at one point.
    1
  359. +fiorezazur That's an interesting point. I would imagine all but the most xenophobic would have no internal point of reference as to why the English and the French weren't best buddies. So the casting of a non-Caucasian actress plays up the "foreigner" aspect of the character.
    1
  360. +Grace Skerp I have a sneaking suspicion we'll see quite a few references, subtle or otherwise, to the Brett series throughout this special.
    1
  361. +Taylor Lynn I don't think so. I think this will be a regular story, just set in the Victorian era. However, having said that, I do think there will be references to the popular 1980's Granada Sherlock Holmes series that starred Jeremy Brett. But not so obvious as to make this episode look like a parody.
    1
  362. I would've liked The Abominable Bride better if Moffat / Gatiss had told the truth about it being purely a Victorian era episode, but it still was very good.
    1
  363. HowlingSnail   Ironically, even the producer of Doctor Who during the 1980's, the late John Nathan-Turner, had been accused in 2013 (via a book) of taking advantage of young male fans during his tenure.  I don't know if any of the accusations have been substantiated though.
    1
  364. Cailin Coane   That's good to know.  I wonder what type of character Victorian Molly is going to be.  It wouldn't be too implausible for Victorian Molly to still be a doctor of some sort, but assuming that Moffat / Gatiss are going to try to adhere to the values and attitudes of that era, I'm not expecting her to be.

  373. +Elijah Foltz "... especially when the Doctor regenerates back into a man in a few years." Maybe, maybe not. It'll probably depend on how well Whittaker is received and what actors/actresses try out for the role whenever she decides to go.

  374. +Jondde--Mr It's a cute (and unoffensive) name for the fandom. Doesn't matter how it originated. : )

  375. +kaustabh das My theory at this point is that next series / season will introduce a brother of Moriarty's who has taken over Jim's criminal network and is responsible for the video. In "The Final Problem" (original Conan Doyle story), it is mentioned that Professor Moriarty has a brother, a Colonel James Moriarty. However, the story doesn't mention if this brother is older, younger, or a twin. My guess is that if Andrew Scott is available and willing, the brother will be a twin.

  377. *****   It's been way too long since I sat down and watched the series, so I may not be remembering things correctly, but doesn't she perform autopsies as well?  If so, wouldn't she have to be a medical doctor?  I had always assumed she was one because of that, but I'm going by how these things are usually done here in the States.

    1
  381. 1Girl248   Yes, Moffat and Gatiss do love to mislead.  In the long run, I guess it is preferable to knowing everything before watching.  However, I'm a huge sucker for almost anything relating to the late Victorian era and was really looking forward to the TV show's version of its source material.  Overall, the special was good, but I wished it had stayed purely Victorian.

    1
  387. Salty Boosack That would be cool, but if they start filming the new Doctor's first series before the regeneration episode is aired, the cat'll be out of the bag. There will be at least one person watching the filming who won't be able to resist posting something to social media.

  391. +Nishith Parikh There's no connection between the end of the third series (set in present day) and this special (set in the Victorian era). However, it would be cool to see Victorian Moriarty. : )

  393. I was thinking more along the lines of these first two episodes are really the last in this series' timeline and subsequent episodes are going to lead up into this. I really hope Moffat hasn't burnt out his brain cells with this series.   ; D   I want my Series 4 Sherlock not to end up wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.
    1
  394. Ethan Posford   Yeah, I saw a bunch of those pictures this week.  So now my theory is that what happened to Clara, Missy, and the TARDIS was similar to what happened to Rose in "Bad Wolf"/"The Parting of the Ways".   The question I have, though, is why would the Daleks keep them alive if the Doctor already believes they're dead?  I guess I'll find out later today.   : )
    1
  395. +Sandro The Great This is an one-off Christmas special taking place in the era that the original Sherlock Holmes stories were written and set. Plot wise, no relation to what we've seen already or will see in the future.

  405. In the case of ASL, that's because Thomas Gallaudet, who opened the first school for the Deaf in the US, learned educational methods and sign language from Laurent Clerc, a French Deaf teacher. Gallaudet did approach British educators of the deaf first, but for some reason I can't remember, they didn't want to share with him, so he went to France instead.
    1
  406. I don't get too bent out of shape over it because context is the key. If I'm talking with fellow Whovians and mention "the Doctor", everyone knows who (no pun intended **LOL**) I'm talking about. If I mention to a friend who isn't as familiar with the program that a new Doctor has been chosen, he/she would think that I switched real life medical providers. To those people, I would say a new Doctor Who has been chosen.

  407. If you're going to have a racist freak out about it, just remember that any children Harry and Meghan may have are only going to be ¼ Black and don't have too much of a better chance than you or I of inheriting the throne. The latter is actually the more important consideration to remember if you're going to wail and gnash your teeth about the Royal Family's "bloodline" being tainted.

  409. That's what always puzzled me about Ireland joining the EU. It spent centuries trying to kick the English out so it could run its own affairs, then turns around and voluntarily joins an organization that tells it how to run its own affairs.
    1
  410. Oh, you better believe he was one (at least to me **LOL**). As I pointed out on another forum, the Fifth Doctor was the only one I had less than pure thoughts about until the Tenth Doctor came along. Ironic, isn't it, that the two Doctors I found the sexiest are now related? : )
    1
  411. No, not really. I would guess that the production team wanted to start fresh, so to speak, and present the Doctor as an established character, not one trying to cope with a regeneration. And considering that they wanted to attract viewers who probably hadn't seen much, if any of the old series, a regeneration scene from the beginning may have been confusing.

  432. Even if the announcement was nothing but a tweeted press release, the actor / actress would've been named well before the Christmas special. I think this is the first time there's been this much hype over who the next Doctor was going to be. I think part of it had to do with this coinciding with the 50th anniversary.

  436. Good point.
    1
  437. Actually, he did get a couple of brief mentions in "Children of Earth". (1) Jack tells Ianto at one point that if he understood correctly what the Doctor told him about his immortality, there's no way to reverse it. (2) Gwen mentions the Doctor in a video she's recording. She wonders why the Doctor wasn't there to help and concludes that he must be ignoring them because he's ashamed at the inhumanity that humanity was currently showing.

  443. +bof1701 As you've probably seen from online comments, the next Doctor being a woman is freaking out people enough without adding a non-White actress into the mix.

You can remove a channel from your recommendations by going to the home page and, if you see a video being recommended from the unwanted channel, click on the three vertical dots next to the title of the video, then click "Don't recommend channel". Another thing that will help is not clicking on the videos of the unwanted channel in the first place. Otherwise, YouTube thinks you do want to see videos from the channel.

  480. From what I've read, the closest to "hysteria" it got during the classic series days was when Tom Baker was leaving. He had the role for seven years so there was great interest in who would replace him, but obviously not to the extent of having a worldwide live telecast to announce his replacement. Tom added fuel to the fire when he announced that he was wishing his successor, "whoever he or she was, the best of luck." It was the first time the possibility of a female Doctor was brought up.

  484. I don't think they're going to bother. There aren't any characters around to say, "Hey, Doctor, you look like some dude from Pompeii." Now if the Doctor runs into Jack, that might be another matter since he'll also look like Frobisher from "Children of Earth".

  493. They may not, not unless Captain Jack is brought in for a story. And even at that, it could be suggested that it's been so long for Jack since "Children of Earth" that he may not even remember what Frobisher looked like.

  499. Or maybe a combination of the two, otherwise the Master would've been able to regenerate before "The Deadly Assassin" and "The Keeper of Traken" instead of appearing like he was a hundreth degree burn victim.

  500. As creepy as it sounded, it reminded me more of Freddy Krueger.

  501. +Scarlett Fox Gilbert MacKenzie Trench was in his early thirties during WWI and, as far as I know, was a Lieutenant.

  502. +Scarlett Fox That article speculated Mark could be playing Trench. It wouldn't surprise me to see Moffat play with historical accuracy (see my previous post about Trench's age and rank) and have the character actually be Trench, but I'm not making any bets that he is.

  508. Capaldi started in 2014 and completed three series: 8 (2014), 9, (2015), and 10 (2017).

  509. Considering that Dracula is supposed to be the main character, I wouldn't think he'd be killed off immediately.

  510. I can't believe that people who claim to no longer like Doctor Who still take the time to interact with it.

  514. I thought the numbering discrepancy had already been explained ages ago. The 12th Doctor is known as such because he's the 12th incarnation that feels entitled to call himself the Doctor. The War Doctor didn't feel he was worthy to bear that title because of the horrible acts he committed during the Time War so he was skipped as far as numbering is concerned. The Duplicate 10th Doctor was technically a separate person because he had bits of both Ten and Donna in him so he never factored in the numbering at all.

  517. About as subtle as the sledge hammer the 15th Doctor used to duplicate the TARDIS. 🙃

  524. The second Doctor in "Journey's End" was a Human-Time Lord Metacrisis (otherwise known as a clone of the Doctor with Human DNA thrown in the mix). He was a separate being, not a result of a regeneration.
