the music for his monologue is so fitting, including the words, though you can't always catch them here: "Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away" and other bits that fit the episode pretty well.
@S0URCH33KS The entire time war is time locked, going there would be difficult at best. Dalek Caan managed it with an emergency temporal shift, and it destroyed his sanity. Davros got out seemingly intact, but he was already a sociopath at best.
It was also forbidden to travel to Gallifrey's past. While he apparently did so in one of the novels(before it went boom), it's not something he'd *ever* do lightly, even in happier days.
@S0URCH33KS Just like with Pompei, the destruction of Gallifrey is timelocked. It would probably hurt far too much to visit the planet you miss so much, knowing what would happen and that you couldn't stop it.
@Anomed999 Ok, nerdish sciency time! You ouldn't be able to see Galifrey because it's been destroyed and sealed off in the Time Vortex. Being in the Time Vortex it's been removed from time by being placed in every single time zone there is. Now that's really complicated to understand, and it's even harder to explain. Think of it as being in every place an no where at the same time. You could imaging it flashing through every single area in sequence in less than a nano seccond. Hard to explain.
That's a rather difficult question in that that Gallifrey, may or may not be connected to Earth's present. The novels expand upon the idea that Gallifrey's present would more or less be 3.5 billion years in Earth's past. Gallifreyans were the first sentient humanoid race to evolve in the universe , mastering transmat technology when the universe was less than half its present size.)
@StellusBattersea Someone i know read on wikipedia Gallifrey was not in our galaxie or just on the edge of our galaxie so it impossible to him to see Gallifrey from the earth :(
@Anomed999 Even if Gallifrey was in the Milky, with all the dust and gas (there's a 3rd Doctor Episode, that hints at Gallifrey being 29,000 light years away at one point,) you still couldn't see it. The Doctor was able to see it in The Enemy Within, the only 8th Doctor Episode using the TARDIS to do this, and pointed out where Gallifrey was and mentioning it being over 250 million light years away. My guess? They moved their Star System at some point.
As much as I respected for Tennant for moments like these and empathized incredibly with his tortured pain, ... I still bristle at people saying moments like these prove why Tennant was the best. I have mad love for Nine and felt more sympathetic compassion (and passion of another kind) whenever he would get his "This is NOT something you want to touch on with me" face on.
Incredible. Beautiful. This scene is why David Tennant is the best Doctor. He inhabits all the qualities of The Doctor. You can see all that pain, all that loss in his eyes, it's haunting.
this shows exactly why i dont watch 11th doctor .. david had them all beat ..such great acting realy made you feel the charictor ..the fun ..the wit and the pain thankyou for this great clip x
love how they show New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York (is it New x 15 + New York, or New x 15 + York?) right after the camera moves from the doctor. for one second you think that was gallifrey.
Ah, been on a big classic who marathon, and watching this soon after seeing the Doctor on Gallifrey in his previous incarnations made it feel like so much more of an epic personal tragedy... Beautiful scene, and one of Tennant's best performances. Always brings a tear to my eye.
Sometimes, if you stop and actually repeat the lines he has to say to yourself, they are absolutely ridiculous, but he says them with such sincerity and passion, they become beautiful. THAT's talent.
The expressions in his eyes and face before he says "i lied to you..." such a lost painful expression.. His mouth looks like he's contemplating whether to tell her or to just hide his total pain behind another flairy boyish charm and joke or to just tell her..
i often wondered why the doctor, just didn't let him self cry in this scene, he seems to hold on his inner strength, but this is the scene that made me like david, brill, matt smith will never get to where the tenth was :D
@lyndaltw Lol. But you gotta remember, he doesn't just 'recycle his date' (although he had been there before with someone else) - he was summoned there. Martha got to come along on the adventure with him, and also prove herself to be a brave, resourceful, and importantly, a trustworthy companion; a good set-up for her vital role in the finale of the season. Martha doesn't get enough love from the fans! :D
See Matt Smith aint so bad with the whole funny crazy side that Tennant had but he just lacks the emoction and the loneliness that David potrayed so well. Tennant was brillant.
when the doctors says the date to martha he sasy 5billion and 53...yet when he and rose went there it was 5billion 52....so they mesed up the dates there cos if it was meant to be another 20-30 years then it should be 5billion and 7-80 something
probably my favourite Tenth Doctor scene ever - so full of longing and grief. If only the rest of the series had built on this fantastic scene with Martha.
It's funny, but everytime a new doctor comes along, I find myself wishing for the old one, at least until I get used to the new one. I had already sort of "accepted" that Tennant was the Doctor, but I think these were the moments when I really began to love him just as much as the rest of them.
its incredible you can almost imagine being there...and seeing those slopes of grass and silver leaves...tens face just looks so happy yet so sorrowful...fantastic acting.
i think that its sorta ironic that the doctor spoke of the time war and in the next episode the daleks were init, and look at the end when all car things flyin in air, i think it sorta looks like gallifrey without mountains and the dome around it as sky is orangeish and towers look like those in timelord citedal
I recieved a comment on youtube saying Tennant is the worst doctor. How is he? The bit at the end, the amount of emotion he puts into that is incredible.
These scenes are just brilliant. I wanted to yell at Martha to stop yapping about Gallifrey. I don't understand why she didn't see that it was hurting him.
The Time Lords may have come up with their plan because they were losing or had lost. The Rassilon may have come up with it because he didn't want to face death at the hands of the Daleks.
like he said in end of time part 2, the time war changed the timelords and he chooses to remember the timelords of old, maybe thats why the doctor says they lost? its easier than facing how it really ended.
The Doctor saw the Timelords of New decided to "win" the war by bringing everything back to the end of time. The Doctor looked and absorbed the Time Vortex and became a sentient being(god-like) and destroyed both the Timelords and the Daleks.
Such a poweful scene but it would not be what it was without David Tennant's performance. He brings so much emotion into it its enough to make even someone who knows nothing about Time Lords and Gallifrey feel his pain. Truley brilliant. Really going to miss him
i do agree with you, if earth was beautiful as Gallifrey it will be heaven.
But somehow... i dont want earth to be like that. It will be so painful to see us humans, DESTROYING planet as magnificent as Galifrey by pollution as we are doing to Earth right here right now.
There's so much wonder and beauty here on our little blue-green marble, and we just stomp all over it because it's a given. We have so many strange little things here, strange and gorgeous and wonderful.
I love the way he mixed reverence and nostalgia with this expression of torture. I feel like any other actor would have used one emotion for that, but David has about 12 going on in a total of 8 seconds.
Yep, he was. He'd have to have been, to have been a grandfather, like he was when Doctor Who started in the 60's. (He traveled with his granddaughter.)
its very sad when he described Gallifrey, the entire event of the time war was time locked to prevent tampering with the time line. the doctor knows he can't go back, now matter how much he wants to, he can't go back.
the last bit has to be my fav, i really feel bad for the dr, u can see he keeps masking his inner emotions in other epos, but this one u see the tears in his eyes :(
according to the cannon of the show the time war has been time locked, in effect it is incased within a bubble in space and time. To go through would risk insanity and probably death. Did you see journey's end? Dalek Kaan? If the doctor tried to go back in time to the time war or galifrey or skaaro, he'd probably end up like dalek kaan.
so all he has to do is assemble a HUGE force, like couple billion people on is side, open the time lock thingy, go in, destroy the daleks and all's ok? i mean like i know you said it's impossible to go into the time war thing but like there has to be a way right? also didn't torchwood have a dalek? so they should know their weaknesses pretty well, right?
What is his last sentence? I really want to know because I'm making a painting about the Doctor and I want to add writing. Specifically the ending on this video. I hear something about Autumn and snow, but I can't catch the rest. Anyone know?
The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light - every morning it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came - a brilliant glow though the branches.
I would love to see how the Galifrey counterparts of our most impressive buildings look like. The cathedrals, the govermant buildings, palaces and citadels. Wish they would make an episode that explores that, but maybe it would also ruin the mystery.
"Part of the attraction of The L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background; an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist. To go there is to destroy the magic, unless new unattainable vistas are again revealed." J.R.R. Tolkien, referring to depth in LotR, but also applicable here. Gallifrey has to be a beautiful legend now, otherwise it isn't "lost" anymore.
You obviously don't know much about Doctor Who then. First of all, Doctor Who has been running for over 40 years. The Time War took place in the off-screen gap between the Eigth Doctor's movie in 1996 and the start of 'Rose' in 2005. The Doctor was 900 when this happened, fought on the frontline and personally ended the war in some kind of cataclism which destroyed Gallifrey. And 'Rose' suggests the war ended not so long ago from the Doctor's point of view.
The doctor is such a complex character. He is so fun and hyper and energetic and just plain cool. You sorta forget that he is all alone in this universe and the only thing he wants is to go home......
now on the subject of David tennant!
I am so sad he is leaving!!!!! OMG! He is my favorite doctor! I really hope matt smith can live up to his role and fill his ( AWESOME CONVERSE) shoes
I know I speak as a Tennant fan and a proper whovian, and I know he's allways brilliant, but this is one of those moments when you realise just how incredibly outstanding an actor David Tennant really is!
Incredible scenes and the Doctor is such a complex character when it comes to stuff like this. People look at the enigmatic and hyper person and forget all the underlying stuff. He says he doesn't want to go home, but that's just it - he wants nothing more in the entire universe than to do that.
I love DT. DT is awesome. He i so awesome he makes people who are awesome look not so awesome. He's gwajuss and foxy. The best actor in all of reality. I love DT i'm going to miss DT. Oh that cheeky smile love it.
well Id say im a fan (altho not crazily obsessed, just an admirer of his performances!) and i think that this is a superb piece of acting, really is. What a character, so complex. Really doesnt patronise kids either this show, gives them real emotional stuff to deal with!
As DT prepares to leave WHO this scene for me is he best acted moment. The sense of the Doctor as, essentially, a lonely old man has never been better portrayed than Tennant does here imo.
So many things that have gone forever reappeared in the series, that I would not be completely surprised if Gallifrey dropped in for a quick visit in space and time.
Missing Romana, by the way.
The doctor never worked as well as when he had actual competition from an equal.
This is such brilliant writhing and acting they've realy managed to make Galifrey sound like the most amazing planet in the universe, but the only one they can never see again, it's almost magical! Brilliant!
i know it's a bit off topic but when he sais 'i'm not just a time lord' doesn't it sound like he's going to say 'i'm an M&S timelord'? anyway love this episode very touching
Rose came back just so the Doctor could dump her rather ruthlessly in another universe, then close it off so she can't come back--even with a canon.
I like this episode a lot, especially Martha's realization that she was Rebound Companion. And I liked her snatching that drug patch off her pregnant kidnapper.
Yeah it pulls it together beautifully. But I'm pretty sure the sky was blue earlier on in the episode so it's just changing colour at sunset. oh this is such a beautiful episode, I don't know how anyone ever told me otherwise!
Gridlock is a great episode. I liked that they followed the Boe/New Earth early in the first 3 years. Doctor hopping from car to car was also great, and Martha as always is cute.
Someone should post up the 'old series' shots of gallifrey, they were a cold arrogant species... well most of them.. lots of gallifrey info in those eps!!
Donna is good, nice change not another love interest, I mean she is I suppose but they don't waste time on it. (spoiler ale.... ROSE IS COMING BACK, ROSE IS COMING BACK, THEY PLAYED THE SPOOKY MUSIC, I SAW HER MAN, ON A MONITOR AND NEAR SOME PHONE/BIN FIASCO THING!!
I wish i could go to Gallifrey... it sounds so beautiful! i love the images they showed us in the Sound of Drums, it's such a shame it hasnt been described more in this series. DT gives such an amazing performance here, and the music in the background is just... inspiring...
i wish there was an season finale or something where galifrey was back, even if it was some sort of hoax or dream but itd be nice to see the doctor back at his home and see galifrey properly not just a view of the city you know? itll prolly never happen but itd be nice
maybe in the other dimension where rose is the planet was never destroyed, never known, could be anything to make the planet come into the series again
That won't happen, it's gone forever. The time war is time locked. That's why he can never go back, not because he doesn't want to but because the time lock is stopping him.
There are lots of comments on DT here- rightfully of course- but i just want to add what a wonderful actress Freema is as well. After watching the first 2 seasons of DW in a row (we just had a marathon here in Aus) and checking out all the diff actors i feel like a bit of an expert now lol.. and if you can't see the talent here you must be in denial!
@mesCheerios - A lot of people are; they were so disappointed that Rose was gone that they wanted to hate whoever followed. I thought she was quite a good companion. And, though I fully expect to be shot for this, I Reckon Donna is actually quite a good companion now as well. In the Christmas special she was extremely annoying, but now she's grown on me.

There's so much wonder and beauty here on our little blue-green marble, and we just stomp all over it because it's a given. We have so many strange little things here, strange and gorgeous and wonderful.

3:02 till 3:10. All I have to say.
I love the way he mixed reverence and nostalgia with this expression of torture. I feel like any other actor would have used one emotion for that, but David has about 12 going on in a total of 8 seconds.
Now that's what I call an actor!

Yep, he was. He'd have to have been, to have been a grandfather, like he was when Doctor Who started in the 60's. (He traveled with his granddaughter.)

There is so much mystery surrounding the doctor, i doubt we will ever know everything. But that is good it keeps us in the dark.

It must have been the Doctor who put the time lock on after the war. Or the Gallifreans put it on just before the end.

MeBeMat 2 years ago
its very sad when he described Gallifrey, the entire event of the time war was time locked to prevent tampering with the time line. the doctor knows he can't go back, now matter how much he wants to, he can't go back.
Curien247 2 years ago
He wouldn't anyway. He knows the rules of the Timelords.
Timelords "watch down on time and space, and swore never to interfere" He said in The Sound of Drums

how did the gallifreyins get totally destroyed? like can he not go back to befor the war?
123hihi1 2 years ago
according to the cannon of the show the time war has been time locked, in effect it is incased within a bubble in space and time. To go through would risk insanity and probably death. Did you see journey's end? Dalek Kaan? If the doctor tried to go back in time to the time war or galifrey or skaaro, he'd probably end up like dalek kaan.
Hope that helped.
poprockandcoke 2 years ago 3
so all he has to do is assemble a HUGE force, like couple billion people on is side, open the time lock thingy, go in, destroy the daleks and all's ok? i mean like i know you said it's impossible to go into the time war thing but like there has to be a way right? also didn't torchwood have a dalek? so they should know their weaknesses pretty well, right?

What is his last sentence? I really want to know because I'm making a painting about the Doctor and I want to add writing. Specifically the ending on this video. I hear something about Autumn and snow, but I can't catch the rest. Anyone know?

The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light - every morning it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came - a brilliant glow though the branches.

I would love to see how the Galifrey counterparts of our most impressive buildings look like. The cathedrals, the govermant buildings, palaces and citadels. Wish they would make an episode that explores that, but maybe it would also ruin the mystery.
trustno1 2 years ago
Surprisingly, the Panopticon from the Deadly Assassin is all of those buildings combined into one. It is a great hall of political ceremony.

"Part of the attraction of The L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background; an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist. To go there is to destroy the magic, unless new unattainable vistas are again revealed." J.R.R. Tolkien, referring to depth in LotR, but also applicable here. Gallifrey has to be a beautiful legend now, otherwise it isn't "lost" anymore.

You obviously don't know much about Doctor Who then. First of all, Doctor Who has been running for over 40 years. The Time War took place in the off-screen gap between the Eigth Doctor's movie in 1996 and the start of 'Rose' in 2005. The Doctor was 900 when this happened, fought on the frontline and personally ended the war in some kind of cataclism which destroyed Gallifrey. And 'Rose' suggests the war ended not so long ago from the Doctor's point of view.

Incredible scenes and the Doctor is such a complex character when it comes to stuff like this. People look at the enigmatic and hyper person and forget all the underlying stuff. He says he doesn't want to go home, but that's just it - he wants nothing more in the entire universe than to do that.

As DT prepares to leave WHO this scene for me is he best acted moment. The sense of the Doctor as, essentially, a lonely old man has never been better portrayed than Tennant does here imo.

Fantastic scene, well written and acted. The music works as well, it makes you feel really sad that Gallifrey is gone forever. One of my favourites
Angim350 3 years ago 2
So many things that have gone forever reappeared in the series, that I would not be completely surprised if Gallifrey dropped in for a quick visit in space and time.
Missing Romana, by the way.
The doctor never worked as well as when he had actual competition from an equal.

Yeah, Romana was totally the Doctor's equal at the end of 1980.

Rose came back just so the Doctor could dump her rather ruthlessly in another universe, then close it off so she can't come back--even with a canon.
I like this episode a lot, especially Martha's realization that she was Rebound Companion. And I liked her snatching that drug patch off her pregnant kidnapper.

Gridlock is a great episode. I liked that they followed the Boe/New Earth early in the first 3 years. Doctor hopping from car to car was also great, and Martha as always is cute.

That won't happen, it's gone forever. The time war is time locked. That's why he can never go back, not because he doesn't want to but because the time lock is stopping him.

@mesCheerios - A lot of people are; they were so disappointed that Rose was gone that they wanted to hate whoever followed. I thought she was quite a good companion. And, though I fully expect to be shot for this, I Reckon Donna is actually quite a good companion now as well. In the Christmas special she was extremely annoying, but now she's grown on me.
