  • I like this episode too, just because of the raw, emotional quality of it. ♥ Thanks for posting.

  • he's wearing a bow tie! Bow ties are cool...

  • GAH! David Tennant! Every time he tears up/cries/looks pained, I start crying. Especially when that dream sequence happened, I was in tears...then a few seconds later he makes me laugh by saying things like "You shouldn't have let me press all those buttons"

  • @whotvwam no... FEZZES are cool

  • David Tennant's Doctor was a very cold-hearted person to those that did not stop when he asked them to. He always gave them a chance and if they didn't listen, he'd make sure that they never got the chance to do so again.

  • @Squiglypig David Tennant's Doctor was recovering from being the Eccleston's Doctor Who was so full of hate and rage and pain because of how eight had to end the Time War. Matt's Doctor is now the reborn Doctor and he's learned to be more humane... :nod: Have you seen the First Doctor? He was willing to bludgeon an injured Caveman to death with a rock... because he was slowing them down...

  • The ending is feckin' brilliant.

  • This is the most bad ass part of David Tennants' Doctor Who's career

  • The music combined with Story, characters, dialogue, acting and this impending sense of a terrible fate for all the young men at the school because of the great war a year to come makes Human Nature and the Family of blood in my perspective the best two episodes of Series 3. I think they really did there research for these episodes. The Crimea Veteran and the Headmasters past in the 2nd Boer war those two little touches i think gave the story just that extra bit of depth

  • Holy shit i just got chills

  • bow ties are cool

  • at the beginning he's almost sobbing when he's talking about being lonely. it shows how he really feels. like in the girl in the fireplace he says oh i'm always all right when his heart is shattered. he has to cover up his pain all the time and it amkes me want to cry. (yes, i know it's just a tv show!) and then when he's almost crying later on talking about how he fell in love and stuff i just think of rose and how dead he must have felt when she was gone because he really loved her.

  • -3 Harry loyd

  • thumbs up those who watch this on Remembrance Day, in memory of those who fought and died for us in WW1 and 2 and all other wars around the world and for those who are still fighting

  • David Tennant <3

  • "We wanted to live forever. So the Doctor made sure that we did."

  • Oh this is so amazing. And personally i think the fact david tennant is so shouty and human makes me love him more than matt smith. Hes an amazing actor and i actally believed he was still human when he gave them the timelord watch. Also david tennant crying is so... Beautiful i guess. So yeah. :)

  • The guy narrating at the end was a brilliant actor

  • Family of blood the very best of Dr Who.Powerful and emotional with some excellent acting from all involved.

  • This makes me weep every time....

  • BOW TIES

  • I felt so sorry for the Doctor when he had that flash of everything he could have had. The human him was so in love and could have been so happy, but he had to go back and be the wonderful Doctor we all love, saving the universe while seeing his companions leave and break his heart one by one, for the greater good. It was a horrible choice for him to have to make. And that is why we love the Doctor - Human, Timelord or any variation thereof, and why Doctor Who is so beautiful.

  • He's wearing the Matt Smith's costume!

  • We've got a discussion on this tonight. Thank you SO much for helping us out!

  • i hate john smith

  • 9:50 - I liked this part and felt sad.....

    "He still visits my younger sister, once a year, every year. I wonder if one day he might forgive her, but there she is. Can you see? He trapped her inside a mirror. Every mirror. If ever you look at your reflection and see something move behind you just for a second, that's her. That's always her."

  • There's something awful about watching DT cry  :(

  • 2:30

    "Falling in love; that didn't even occur to him? Then what sort of man is that?"

    The amount of pain, confusion, anguish and terror in his eyes says everything John Smith couldn't put into words.

    I was honestly a little upset and sad when I saw that The Doctor was back.

    I think 11 was talking about John Smith when he was talking about the best of humanity. John sacrificed everything that could have made him happy for the greater good. Something not anyone could do. I couldn't...

  • Between these emotional scenes here, as well as the epic vulnerable scene in Midnight (my favorite New Series episode to date), it's a fact that David Tennant has the acting skills of a god!

    -IMP ;) :)

  • I agree, the Tenth Doctor is the best, and Tennant is an actor of ponderous skill and talent. Ten will always be my Doctor...

  • hes wearing matts costume lol

  • I love how Tennant is able to play so different roles, being the same persons. Not many actors know how to do that. They'll just end up having the same type of roles movie after movie, episode after episode. But Tennant, played two (three) different types of roles in just one episode. I bow i awe.

  • You don't fuck with the Doctor. The Doctor fucks with you.

  • @MrThumbsup You got that right.

  • Yes, David Tennant was a great Doctor but as is Matt Smith in his own way. Though I will get this out to those wanting David back... HE chose to leave, his own free will, Moffat nor the BBC have a right to drag him back into the role unless he says "Right, I'm willing to have another crack at it." So please, either enjoy Doctor Who with Matt or don't.

  • Baines looks exactly like my friend. It's hilarious!

  • The kid really creeps me out

  • he's wearing a bow tie.....bow ties are cool...WELLL.....T\the 10th is cool...and since time is more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff....maybe we will see him again....i hope

  • Family of blood and human nature was the best. I miss David he was amazing I love him so much n my grannie didn't like him in other shows but 4t he was the best doctor. Bring tennant back!!!

  • @BeccaLovesWicked You are completely aware that David Tennant left on his own free will and that he will never return as the 10th Doctor unless they decide to bring about a special?

  • @TheLastLoneWolf Don't forget that clone of him living with rose

    in the parallel universe.

  • sniff

  • Donna was right! He needs someone to stop him! Rose was doing great job. Where the hell was Martha during all this stuff?

  • I wonder if he would have been so cruel to The Family if he hadn't fallen in love.

  • he is ancient and forever

  • @DeadmansWoman That probaly is why, also it was Rose mainly that made him so human, but in my opinion it spoils the doctor slightly.

  • Great episode, but in my opinion the Doctor shouldn't really have human moments, he's a 900 year old time travelling alian, But I do respect RTD was and still is entitled to his style for the show. But don't let my opinion spoil this episode because it is great nontheless.

  • @JoeConcerts I think it's fairly appropriate for him to have human moments when he is human.

  • @evilemperordude The fact is though that its quiet unusual for the doctor, who is a Time Lord from Gallifrey, to have human moments. rose had alot to do with humanising him, but I just think that RTD was just too obsessive with making the show a soap opra other than a Sci-fi show, which it is a sci-fi show at the end of the day. If say the 7th doctor was in this sitiation, he wouldnt have any of it at all, he'd probaly have disaplined Rose. I just think the chamelean arc was an excuse for-

  • @evilemperordude Tennant to show off his acting in elements such as Shakespear, not playing THE doctor. If i was the 10th doctor, i would have probaly disagreed with this story with RTD. I just don't think its right, in my opinion, Tennant was too human, emotional and a bit mockney as the doctor, he wasnt bad, but not my favorite.

  • I miss him as the Doctor :( He was amazing!

  • "2 dislikes."

    Scarecrows don't knock, but they can apparently make YouTube accounts.

  • why did no one in 1913 notice his shoes which were obviously futuristic

  • i just want to know what happens when people discover the body suspended in time and hung up as a scarecrow.

  • even though David was brillant in these eps they annoyed me to no end... did they annoy anyone else? Or was it just me?

  • You know what? Foreshadowing right here, because look at the Doctor closely...

    Don't see it? How about this...

    "Bowties are cool."

  • The Doctor is kind and even childish sometimes but if you dare cross...WATCH OUT! If he does not raise his voice, that's the most frightening of it.

  • such a brilliant episode, thanks for uploading those bits!

  • "we wanted to live forever, so the doctor made sure that we did" this line kicks ass

  • The punishment for the family was a bit hardcore even for The Doctor. 

  • @CoruptedCorupter My humble guess is this is something the Doctor never allowed himself to dream about because he knew he could never have it. Then in the middle of yet another adventure its handed to him, then taken away again. For the Doctor, I imagine this was payment in kind.

  • @CoruptedCorupter He was giving them what he wanted; to live forever. And The Doctor gave them a chance, that's why he turned himself human. But since they continued, he had no choice but to do what he did.

  • @CoruptedCorupter No Second Chances! that has always been the way of the 10th doctor, and they were killing children

  • fantastic acting by david

  • "He could never have a life like that." The Master aged him past several regenerative cycles, he had a daughter, his clone at least said "I love you" (probably, I heard this was confirmed somewhere) to Rose, he probably loved River Song, and he has saved billions of planets of living beings. What are YOU talking about, John?

  • Even as a human the Doctor is deprived of the things he can never have :(

    David Tennant is just......Wow. To be able to portray one complex and intricate person with two completely different personalities and views, and with such amazing acting, is just mindblowing. Mr Smith being a normal man with normal desires, and The Doctor being....well, there is no way really to describe the Doctor, besides what Tim says. He is wonderful.

    Brilliant episode.

  • These two episodes are among the greatest hours in the history of television.

  • Tennents costume here is surprisingly like Matt Smiths Doctors costume ...hmm

    is there a connection here ,is there elements of John Smith in the the eleventh Doctor.

  • It Looks like he's wearing The new doctor's clothes.

  • Apparently this is an adaption of a book featuring the seventh doctor.

  • but in fairness i will give you one word of advice....RUN!

    Best bit lol

  • "Supa, supa fine."

  • The doctor would be an awesome dad.

  • David wore a bow-tie, even more proof that bow-ties are cool.

  • @Dracoa79 if only he wore a fez! :)

  • @booshloverfor4ever

    Nah. Fez's aren't as cool as bow-ties. If they were, the one The Doctor wore wouldn't have been destroyed.

  • I love David's acting here. He's so awesome...

    btw, he should totally get cast as The Riddler if they actually use him in the next Batman film ;-)

  • @VlaamseTelevisie doctor hous is a selfcentered douche bag

  • @VlaamseTelevisie

    Doctor who?

  • @VlaamseTelevisie Hahaha i doubt he could do half the things the Doctor does :D

  • I wished they showed Doctor Who in the States, I have to make do watching it online at lastnightstvshows (.) com

  • @unsightlytroupe1 I'm surprised they dont show em there, ide thought it would most likely be shown there than here in australia, even then, they show torchwood there aswell, ehy not doctor who? We get doctor who, torchwood and K-9, no Sarah jane adventures though.

  • @unsightlytroupe1 They do have it in the states, do you have charter cable? if so do you have the 100 channels? if so then it's on 120 on at 4 every day. BBC America

  • the doctor is wonderful

  • one of my fav doctor who stories

  • best show ever created.

  • He made such an amazing transition from The Doctor to John Smith.

  • 4:01, when you hear him crying in the background... geez, it gets me every freaking time. David, why the hell do you have to be so bloody GOOD?

    and that bit with the mirror was intensely creepy. just goes to show, you dont fuck with the doctor.

  • David Tennant is such a good actor! I totally believe that the Doctor and John Smith are two totally different people - this is so heartbreaking

  • tennant should've won awards for these two episodes coz he was bloody extraordinary

  • The moment where John and Joan see what their life together would be reminds me of one of the better Star Trek The Next Generation episodes, "The Inner Light" (1992). In a few minutes Captain Picard lives an entire life as a father, grandfather, and community member. The cost of being heroic is not to have that normal life.

  • I remember that episode!

  • such a great and sad episode!!!!!!! great acting! David always breaks my heart when i see him cry!

  • This is one of my favourite doctor who episodes. Is it Stephen Moffat who wrote this?

  • No Paul Cornell wrote this and the previous episode. Some of the best things he's done

  • oh I didnt know that, was getting excited thinking their was more episodes like this to come lol!

  • Season 3 in general I think was brilliant because it contained he best episodes. Paul Cornell's Human Nature/The Family of Blood, Steven Moffat's Blink and Russel T. Davies' Sound of Drums/The Last of the Time Lords. Out of all of them, Moffat won the Hugo award though.

  • @rachelharri82 Yeah, I think it is. His stories are always amazing :')

  • After he like pushes the father, he stares directly at you at 9:34 That always sends shivers down my spine; 'cause at that point it is shown how ruthless he really can be... God I'm gonna miss David :-)

  • The reference to this episode in 'End of Time' was just brilliant imo.

  • Couldn't be better...the episode was brilliant too:) David left us at his best:):):)

  • @Jigitaetsa which reference? i've watched both but can't remeber..

  • @theacut there was a reference to this episode in the End of Time?

  • @theacut I was wondering if it was a reference to the 11th, with DT wearing a bow tie!

  • @theacut wat reference r u talking about??? i dont remember any reference

  • @theacut I disagree. Why didn't he just meet Joan instead of her descendant? Makes no sense. He does have this living time machine called the Tardis ya know.

  • And THIS is why David Tennant is awesome, not only as the Doctor, but as an overall actor.  'Doctor Who' will go on, but it just won't be the same.

  • @dknights411 Loved David Tennant, but honestly I've taken much more to Smith. To me, Tennant was far too shouty - I prefer a much more subtle Doctor. To each their own. :)

  • @dknights411 He wanted to be the doctor as a child it was his dream no wonder he plays it well

  • EVERYTIME!!! I always get teary at this episode no idea why.

  • In this episode the Doctor has a fob watch, but that's also an acronym for Family Of Blood

  • These strong and emotional scenes show David's best acting. Just like the episode from christmas day, another very brilliant episode.

  • *sigh* I both looove and yet hate this episode. I love DT; he plays it sooo brilliantly and I'd tear up every time I see this episode, but within the story, I would so weep for Martha. Because just as she'd said, he goes and falls in love with a human, "...and it's not me..." this was a true testament to the reality, that the Doctor would never love Martha the way she wanted. Brilliant, but sad episode.

  • I hope u don't feel too much of an aftershock when he regenerates tomorrow and changes his appearance this time (Journey's End reference). Time this message was sent was 9:16 pm 30/12/09

  • It is sad. Martha loves him unconditionally though, and that must have made it even harder for her to drag him away from the requited love she wishes she had. But at least she knows that if she didn't convince him to turn back, that life John Smith imagines would never have happened anyway because the Family would have destroyed everything - there would never be a happy ever after. So in a way... idk *shrugs* lol

  • I've never seen Doctor Who before, but this scene has convinced me to look it up. His excellent acting just yanks you into the scene and makes you feel it with him, whether you know what's going on or not.

  • davids teeth look really white in these scenes

  • He's like fire and ice and rage, and, he's wonderful.

  • Very powerful scenes, indeed... :) I loved this episode, especially Harry Lloyd's Narration at the end. He is a great actor, as well as David Tennant.

  • OMG i cry everytime at the dream of a normal death!!!

  • i like the part where we find wut he did to 'em bcuz it shows wut he can do if he's pushed

  • Shows how briliant David is at acting how he went from being the doctor to being the human again in less then a second at 2:00

  • totally agreed! and you can really tell the difference between human and timelord, even his voice sounds different. some actors couldn't do that

  • The Dream of a Normal Death scene makes me cry every time.

  • Me too. T-T

  • if the Doctor can make himself smell like a human, why couldn't he do something similar when the Judoon were inspecting the hospital where he first found Martha when they found him?

  • the Judoon's scanners read DNA, and he already used the Chameleon Arch, which by the way is extremely painful to use.

  • yeah, that's why I purposely used the word 'similar'

    and you seem to imply that since the Doctor has already used the Chameleon Arch (that's the name! I had forgotten), he can't do it again, which isn't true, 'cause

    A) we're not sure he's ever used it before. tadis.wikia says that it could've happened with the seventh Doctor but no one knows for sure

    B) nothing says you can't do it more than once

    But yeah, it's excruciating, but it would've been less risky than killing off one of his hearts!

  • I don't expect you to know though, I mean, they probably didn't know themselves they'd be using this story when they made that episode

    so, I dunno.

  • plus the fact he didnt have the tardis on him when he went to the moon too lol x

  • The main reason why he couldn't use the chameleon arch was because the tardis was on Earth at the time. He did not have access to it.

  • The "Dream Of A Normal Death" track at 4:38 always gets me.

    I have to say this story wasn't one of my favourites and I rewatched this and "Girl In The Fireplace" and loved them. The acting, especially David Tennant's, is fantastic.

  • 2:37 onwards D':

  • I love this episode. Especially Martha's little "i love you" speech--sort of like Rose's at 'Doomsday'. Very good! Molte bene! Thanks! :D

  • i liked the weeping angels they scared the crap outta me (:

  • Why don't I remember this episode?

  • i don't know why don't you?

  • it would of bein good if the doctor stayed like a human

  • If that watch also contains the memories of the Master (as we see in 'Utopia'), why do the Family of Blood not get those memories when they open the watch after the Doctor gives it to them?

  • The watch from "Utopia" was a different watch. You can tell by the fact that both watches were different colors.

  • Because The Master and The Doctor have different Fob watches, they're not the same, they each have they're own watch.

    When the family of Blood opened the Doctors watch, that wasn't The Masters, because he had a watch of his own.

    Also, when they open the Doctors watch, they smell nothing, because The Doctor has already revived him-self, so they could'nt get anything from the watch, because it's empty.

  • Comment removed

  • I was a bit dissapointed by this episode. I don't know, maybe I just didn't like how...pathetic the human doctor turned out to be...

    this scene was good though

    i admit

  • Give the human doctor a break!

    You would be freaked out too if this happened to you in of all places 1913.

  • "son of mine" looks like the singer from Franz Ferdinand lol

  • doctor who is awesome, i have this docotr who handbook dictionary thing

  • hey his name is not doctor who that is an in show pun his name is The Doctor

  • Wow. Awesome.

  • I think he was acting to fool them

  • It was part of his "misdirection". He had to get the family to believe he was still human, and so redirected his scent, As he stated after they found the watch didn;t carry the essence anymore.

    Two major themes here - a Christ story - John sacrfices himself to save humanity. And the Doctor coming to terms of how lonely of an existance a sole Timelord has. I have to say, Tennet's Doctor is a good balance of the light and dark side of the Doctor.

    Oh, and how good is Freema?

  • same here especially the ending

  • lool the doctor loves his buttons.. :)

  • these scenes are sooo good, the way david tennant switches personas so easily is amazing and easily one of my favourite parts of the new series yet

  • Hav u guys noticed the initials 4 the family of blood r F.O.B? & th doctor contained his memories in a fob watch?

  • they were called the family of blood in the book as well iirc, and then his memories were in a cricket ball type object - referenced in the episode where he stops the woman with the pram by throwing the cricket ball

  • I was so thrilled with Tennant's performance in these two episodes, Human Nature & The Family of Blood. The way he plays the Mr. Smith is just breathtaking, the difference between Mr. Smith and the Doctor.. And yet, they're the same, in a way. How he plays his fright for the change and all of this. He's an amazing actor, really !

    And I absolutely ADORE Harry Lloyd's narration with the Fury of the Time Lord part, he has a smooth voice.. He's a good actor too ! =D Thanks for uploading :)

  • i couldn't agree more. =)

  • my friend didn't like this episode but i'm really impressed by Tennant's performance in this. VERY good doc who episode--very different.

  • this is a great video and i am a great fan of doctor who so nice to meet u i am doctorwho434 and this video is really cool and shows you about the great doctor and him being a timlord

  • Thanks, I'm glad that you like it.
