I find it extremely clever that this scene, when they start getting near the Tardis, it's so... off to the side. The camera doesn't focus on it or anything. It's just another object in the background until the Doctor walks up to it. Just how the Doctor said it blends in and nobody would notice it. Clever thing there.

only 9 can make earth orbiting the sun sound like everyone is going to die.

[Artisan]

Peter Capaldi said 9’s speech about how he could feel the turn of the earth and the speed at which they were traveling through space orbiting the sun is what sold him on the series when it began again. I agree; when I heard that speech I saw the fourth doctor behind Christopher Eccleston‘s performance. That blank look of pure awe and wonder yet tempered with knowledge. Like knowing everything there is to know about a sunset, yet still astonished and entranced by its simplicity and beauty as you watch it.

I love how charismatic and intense 9 was. When he went on those monologues about time and space he could suck you in to that head space. When he grabbed Rose's hand i was right there with him feeling that anxiety and insignificance. I can also feel the chemistry and connection between the doctor and Rose "Now forget me Rose Tyler" yeah but doctor the real question is will you forget her?

[martynstembridge]

The 'Turn of the Earth' speech set the tone for the entire show for years to come imo ... It was SO powerful.
From that moment onwards the new Doctors would alway give us plenty of fun, laughs and comedy ... but at any moment, they could become intense ... delivering epic lines of dialogue that would remind us how old and wise the Doctor was.

[rosePetrichor]

I forgot how good the dialogue was in this series. The writing got a bit more grandiose once Tennant came along, which was fine, it suited his more theatrical, flamboyant personality, but Eccleston *nailed* these kinds of exchanges. There was a *really* human, down to earth quality to these first few episodes, the London parts especially. The character dynamic between them is really believable, too. The Doctor is being standoffish due to him still hurting from the Time War and not wanting to get anyone else caught up in things any more. In the course of this conversation Rose impresses the Doctor in a lot of small ways with the things she asked questions about, and he slowly, carefully opened up in return. The whole conversation turns after he quietly asks her if she's okay. Such good writing

[BrotherTree]

I love Rose here... she's curious and so caring but in a really respectful and encouraging way.

[LaggardlySort]

2:14 that casual segue from laughing and joking to "they want to overthrow the human race and destroy you" always gets me

[hiccuphufflepuff]

"...if we let go ...that's who I am." I always thought this speech was saying that the Doctor is the guy who can sense all the motion and complexity of the universe and understand what's going on when everyone else is disoriented, but it sounds like he's really saying that who he is is the chaos and terror that would happen if you chose to jump off of the Earth while it was spinning, because that's what you're doing when you go into his Tardis.

The fact that this whole scene is one shot makes it so much better

[dj]

"Yes I can, this is me, swanning off. See ya!"
One of my favourite 9 lines.

Underrated doctor real shame Christopher ecclestone did not do another season

[AidanFarren-Hart]

0:16 - 1:43

To think, if one of them had messed up on a line, no matter how close they were to the finish, they'd have to start all over again! That kind of shot would have been *veeeery* difficult to pull-off in the classic series.

[TheInkTank]

It's crazy to think how that opening scene, the big one-take shot, was put there just to fill up time. It adds a lot to the character's relationship.

[keaganwheeler-mccann]

The early 2000's feel like such a dream to me. This show is one of the most honest windows to that time some how

[Rambo]

Eccleston was the perfect choice to reintroduce a new audience to Doctor Who. Whilst it would have been nice to see him do another series it showed he could regenerate to a new audience.

David Tennant is regarded as the best of the new era, but I don’t think it would have worked if he kicked the new era off. Eccleston to me is equally as good as Tennant and was the better choice to start the ball rolling again. Fantastic.

[hokutoulrik]

His mood shift at the end showed just what kind of man this Doctor was. From the joking about to deadly serious in an instant.

[LuvSlushie]

That is one amazing long take at the beginning! X

[briandouglasahern]

As if she could forget him after that.
