1. super wow!!!!! it's incredible that robots can make that!!! I can say it was awesome because I am a Doctor Who fan, desafortunately I'm from Mexico 🙁 

2. No offence, but their faces say it all… 0:29

3. Everyone looked so unimpressed

4. Maybe we can get a robot to replace Moffat too! THE WRITING CAN'T GET ANY WORSE, RIGHT? WAHEEEEEY!

5. I love a good Dot Matix printer

6. Are they on tour? Could open for Kraftwerk perhaps.

7. Let's be honest, we all read 'Robot blah blah Doctor Who blah blah – blah Christmas blah'

8. And so it begins…

9. This looks pretty awkward…

10. im sorry but ive seen better renditions by floppy disc drives

11. well, they're trying,

12. This is interesting, to a degree. 

13. This is what the licence fee is going into…

14. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

15. every audience member: "wtf are we looking at…?"

16. Awkward much….

17. The cyberman attempt music

18. Very cute

19. I'm annoyed by how not sufficiently impressed those kids look. I mean, sure they start of a bit clunky but once it gets going IT IS AWESOME. 

20. Cool

21. That is wonderful what's with the kid pulling his face. Take it his not  fan then? Lol. Really good. Bit rusty. But I think its amazing how they did that. 😀 

22. I stumbled into the weird part of the internet again, didn't I?

23. did they even test the microphones for the music?! its good but, its sounds horrible with the wrong volumes on each instument

24. I think the reaction of the audience is perfectly reflecting – THIS SOUNDS AWFUL!!

25. Well, I don't think there's any danger of robots effectively replacing musicians any time soon.

26. Possibly exciting for those in UK, across the pond, not at all.

27. Wow. Ouch.

28. Valiant effort! (slowly backs away from the computer…)

29. As a Robot builder and musician myself ,  I have as much empathy for the robot builders as sympathy for the ears of the audience… 

30. It is not pitch perfect but it is a good try. Btw, those kids were definitely tired… There were there for 4 hours more or less…

31. …. what even did i just watch… Dx il be listening to the theme over and over again now just to get this version out

32. People are not amused

33. This is amazing! Even more impressive when you watch the programme and see how it was put together. 

34. Woooooooooooow. Programmed machines playing electronic music. I am SO amazed. 

35. Hahaha, the audience is super unimpressed. I think it is cool, but will get better as time goes on.

36. You might say, anything we can do, robots can copy, but, still not without human help thank goodness !!  The thought of a future cybermen band worries me !!  If you do not mind, I will add to my page.      🙂

37. The Japanese are the same way. In concert video, everyone seems so stoic until the end. Anerican audiences, on the other hand, will cheer and shout all the way through.

38. The kid at 0:28 expresses my reaction.

39. ….WE WILL ALL BE UPGRADED–

40. Doctor Who series 11 theme confermed.

41. That was so cool!

42. this is the new opening for series eleven get ready XD

43. Doo weeoo

44. Hot mess

45. The only thing impressive is the robot playing the theremin

46. im sorry this sucks ass
