I think it's the only Children in Need special that doesn't focus on humor, which makes it a bit more interesting historically. Other than that, it's merely a deleted scene from The Christmas Invasion but is fun to see how new Tennant was in the role, still trying to figure out who he could be. zachbot3000 View profile Like Liked 1 16 March 2025 · 79 words Review by RandomJoke Spoilers 2 This review contains spoilers! A lovely Idea for a Minisode, with some great Acting Moments for Piper, her Reaction to the Doctor changing is easily the Highlight in this Story. On the other hand, it's nice to see Tennant so early on, trying to figure out how he wants to play the Part. As its own Thing, it's fairly solid, honestly, but Part of me wonders if I liked this part much more if it was in 'The Christmas Invasion'. Solid stuff really.

Interesting to see 10th's immaturity and mania teasing through even in his first moments. Right off the bat, he doesn't want to stare directly at the weight of what's just happened. Despite 9th's growth, he's still not ready to face big scary things like his own role in ending the the Last Great Time War. Interesting to see his first moments, in which he acts like regeneration is no big deal, when we know that his last moments will involve not wanting to go. jiffleball View profile Like Liked 2 16 February 2025 · 89 words Review by joeymapes21 3 It was a strange choice to explain and ease regeneration into a new audience in a sketch not part of the main show - while the sketch works well to ensure that the audience not familiar with regeneration are introduced to the process, it would have been more natural to introduce us to this new Doctor especially in the story. This is particularly relevant considering his full debut has the Doctor asleep for the majority. A fun little short though, laying out a good groundwork for the new Doctor. joeymapes21 View profile Like Liked 3 17 January 2025 · 11 words Review by InterstellarCas 2 Enjoyable bridge between The Parting of Ways and The Christmas Invasion.
