Sounds like growing up in the nighties 😂

Don't we all though

Sounds like an average weekend to me 😂

You did miss a small bit before he says 'I will always remember when the doctor was me' You missed 'I won't forget a line of this. Not one day."

​@@1neGuy-g2jthanks! I edited it now. I noticed that I forgot something, but couldn't figure out what.

@@sheersternfeld1914 no problem

you missed the "i swear"

The best part about her being the master, is that her gender was not mentioned at all.

Totally agree. Remarkably, Delgado and Gomez were of Iberian descent (Spanish and Portuguese, respectively).

​@@candycover I've seen a clip of her talking about it lmao

Missy was a good road map for when they ever needed to gender swap the Doctor. Too bad it wasn't followed well, so we ended up with "Hi. I've had an upgrade" crap

Once they got rid of John Sim, the Master got so good. The original is still iconic, but Michelle Gomez brought so much to the role and is now who so many think of when the Master is mentioned. And Sacha Dhawan is, in my opinion, the most unsettling and menacing of all the on-screen Masters (yes, that includes Delgado).

True, although I'd say that Romana II (Lalla Ward) was almost like a second lead and arguably carried the show, especially when Tom was in one of his moods. She was particularly effective in City of Death, State of Decay and Horns of Nimon.

I'd say Barbara from the very first episode set the standard, she's strong, smart and rational, often putting the Doctor in his place. Infact we start things from her and Ian's perspective.

Yeah point and think so assuming it’s the other way round too

The only thing wrong with the sonic sunglasses is that there's no way to get a fun toy out of it, unless your idea of fun is a perfectly ordinary set of sunglasses with a hidden button that makes noises. It's much more fun to point a whirring screwdriver toy at things and put it away in your jacket pocket, as opposed to just holding a finger against the side of your sunglasses while staring. Also, do you buy a sonic sunglasses toy in child size (so the child will grow out of them) or adult size (so children can't get them to sit right on their faces)?

​@@SingularityOrbitapparently the shades were Capaldi's idea, and it doesn't have a toy on purpose. He wanted people (kids) who don't have much money to feel they could (cos)play doctor who without having to buy expensive toys. I hated the sonic sunglasses until I read that. Now I really respect Capaldi's choice for wanting them to be so dull and plain 🤣

@@SeeJay81 OH. Ignore everything I said. My objection has no weight next to Capaldi's actually good moral stance.

​@@SingularityOrbitlol, I felt much the same. Capaldi is such a gem.

IKR, scammed.

She's literally the daughter of two of his companions

At least River was aware of the imbalance from the very start, unlike Martha or Clara. Her attitude of loving the Doctor despite knowing how much disappointment and frustration comes with it made her that much more relatable to the fans.

River's rant to the fishman concierge of the cruise for killers in "The Husbands of River Song" - where she openly acknowledges the issues of loving a god-like figure whose mission is to protect space, time and the Universe and who she believes can't love her back in the same way - shows that River's study of the Doctor has allowed her to see a far bigger picture of who he/she is than even his most long-lasting companions have ever gotten. Probably even more than Susan's grandmother or whichever parent was The Doctor's child, too. It's probably why they love River so deeply... and despises the reasons for why she knows them so well and believes that romantic love should be beneath them.

Saaaammmmeeee

Been saying it for years. Years!

Ace is not the only classic companion with way more personality than 13th's "fam". Sarah Jane and Liz beat Yaz by far!

Why are you saying the doctor is anything since the doctor isn't even human?

I want a torchwood cross over where captain is aversed to the female doctor😂

​@@candycoverbecause other humanoids (even time lords) would also have sexualities

@@just_jakey Right, and they also think less of males. when the time lord regenerated into a balck woman, the first ting she said was how do you deal with all that ego?

Exactly! This! They're absolutely still somewhere on the ace spectrum. I was leaning more towards demisexual for the same reasoning, but greysexual makes sense too 😊

One of those people is probably an Ellie alt account

Don’t forget Osgood.

@@judithstrachan9399 Thank you, I'd never forget PETRONELLA Osgood (Ingrid Oliver).

Oops. Sorry. Forgot her first name.I’m so ashamed.

Maybe The Invasion of Time from the Tom Baker era.

Completely agree. Many good stories rushed in the last five minutes.

🤣 bad opinion is bad

@@bloodarcher7841 hey now. Having 90 minute episodes would allow more of a cinematic approach to Dr. Who. Gives enough time for the standard 3-act play with enough time to actually build the story to a good climax and denoument. Often times we get to the climax and that's it, show's over... everybody off!

Wonder if Sean Pertwee would reverse his stance on playing The Doctor if it was him dramatizing his own father's tenure as the character?

Seeing how many people kick off over a 10 year age gap now-a-day's.

@@Mark-nh2hs exactly

It brought back the Face

The trouble with those is how very badly they date. Poor Leela the Savage is dreadfully dated from the costume, attitude and what was known about the era she came from. Future is even harder, only a few decades ago we couldn't have predicted everyone would be walking around with miniature computers and mobile phones. That instead of talking to each other and hanging out chatting say as background characters in a street, people would be sitting in groups ignoring each other using hand held devices 😮 Aliens, look at the old costumes how cringeworthy they look in classic who. New Who Slitheen are fun but already dated. CGI rather than costumes date worse, you can see the CGI in the 60th and Ruby Road and it's a bit jarring and that's with super money to do it. After all that, I do agree with you, it'd be great but that ages so badly it can wreck things quickly.

Jamie was Awesome and he was from the past!!!!

😊h❤h

I'm older and watched the original series and I'm afraid I really don't agree with you.

Honestly it really bothers me that the clothes changing was just... not explained.

I did say "many" not "all" - I am sure that there are as many different opinions as there are fans. I enjoy the modern version as much as I enjoyed it right from the Hartnell days but things like the sonic screwdriver and the psychic paper are used - in my opinion only, yours may differ - far too often. It's true that the original series often had too much padding because of its serialised format but its also true that the modern series is often rushed to the point that things like the clothes regenerating are just done with no explanation at all and not even hand-waved away in the dialogue.

Yeah, those goblins....yikes. They keep telling us that they're spending more money than ever on special effects so I don't understand why episodes from the last ten years look so much better than that.

they're not supposed to be a super serious villain, I think you missed the point. The goblins look fantastic though and they were ALL done practically.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the controversies surrounding Barrowman

Untrue they've used him a few times recently. They've even used Mickey and the actor did far worse than Barrowman

No… if a Captain Jack clip is relevant, it’ll be used.

Only because you don't like it, it doesn't make it non-cannon. Cannon comes always after the fact. For example, Regeneration hasn't been "cannon" before they invented it to keep the show going without its main actor.

just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're not canon🤣🤣guess what, I don't like the timeless child but its in the show therefore sadly its canon whether I like it or not

Peak gatekeeping.

They are all canon. None of them are witches; there was no "lazy marketing scheme", and bigeneration is inherently a canon process because it happened in the show itself! Do at least *try* and be intelligent!

just because you don't like it doesn't mean It's not canon!

Amy wasn’t in Season 6. The Series* 6 narration was only for BBC America. It was never a part of the actual episodes.

It does remain on streaming, though

It was only on some international broadcasts. It never aired like that in the UK.

@@DrWhoFanJ And Australia!!!

⁠@@DrWhoFanJ Amy was in season 6 cause it was Matt’s second season as the doctor

It's not all about their gender or skin colour

good thing it wasn't, like seriously there's no mention of skin colour in ncuti's first episode and even in the giggle when donna said "do you come in a range of colours" that was a one off gag and is far off from being all It's about.

Sarah Jane Smith was a real companion and many others. The problem is most (not all) NuWho fans have not even watched any of the Classic Who's yet act as if they are the authority of the whole series via a NuWho lens.

@@Mark-nh2hs I thought Sarah became a bit infantised with Tom, but as for the rest of your points I agree 100%. l can't get my head around someone thinking that a story wrapped up in 45m is an improvement that's "difficult to argue with".

This video appears to me rather as a brainstorming of bullet-points without diving into them. None of those changes are argued upon and therefore I can't accept it as a "justification" by any means. Yes, there's been some bad or padded writing in classic Doctor Who and some female companions feel like crybabies. But they only take the negatives in this regard. Sarah Jane and Liz would eat some of the modern companions for breakfast, especially Yaz and the rest rest of 13th's "fam". _Lots of the 70s companions WERE ciphers, but they had to be because the STORIES took precedence._ Well, we knew Liz was a scientist and she supported 3rd in his investigations. Sarah Jane was an investigative Journalist and we've seen her spirit in many stories, both with the third and fourth doctor. They weren't cyphers, their characters were introduced right ahead and harmonically weaved into the stories. Whilst in Martha, we meet her as a Student of medicine, a scientist in some regard, but when does this background of hers ever appear in a story? I only can think of _The Shakespeare Code,_ wherein she shortly checks this one guy about the cause of death. Even much, much worth, with Ryan - Do I need to elaborate? With Rose and the 9th Doctor it's another cup of tea, I liked how her background, friend and family, was integrated into the stories. That's never done before in Classics and was a new aspect of story telling.

How can you disagree when no argument was made?

@@Spielkalb-von-Sparta well most of the things they mentioned in the list I disagreed with

Are you referring to The Trial of a Time Lord, which was 14 episodes long and took up Season 23? Because if you are, I think a lot of people would disagree with that as it's in way three serials that are four parts long each and a two-parter at the end.

Nope. Classic Who used the term "series" to mean "story" (unlike what it means now), and the longest story of 20th-century DW is _The Trial of a Time Lord_ (1986), at 14 episodes.

@@joshuacurphey3242No, it’s definitely one 14-part story. It’s all given the same name, after all!

@@DrWhoFanJ I actually do see it as a 14-parter as opposed to four separate stories, but it did nonetheless take up a whole season. (I said people see it as four separate stories, not that I was one of them). The blu-ray release of it even gave each of the four "stories" their own titles.

@@joshuacurphey3242 No, it provided the alternative titles on the discs as a way to indicate which episodes were where. It still treats it as but one single story (as you can tell from the back cover where it only lists one story title), exactly the same as the DVDs did.

no david tennant is the 14th doctor and ncuti is the 15th, you can call ncuti 14 but he's not.

Kind-of makes sense. The older you are, the harder it gets, until you eventually can't do it any more.

She was better. She was the best. Wow. Look at that. I CAN tell you that. Guess you were wrong.

Ellie has never said she disliked the classic series. She has admitted to not being as familiar with them, which is understandable since she's so young and would not have been familiar with the classic episodes. She has also admitted that she is making an effort to watch them, and let's face it, compared to the modern Who, they are pretty cringeworthy. Yes, I am a classic Who fan, I grew up with the show, but they are painful to watch now. Roger Delgado was a great Master--for his time. Personally, I prefer Simms' Master mostly because Simms is a wonderfully nuanced actor who could switch seamlessly between manic, devious, emotionally wounded and out and out evilly crazy without missing a beat and still make the character actually likeable. Missy, however, took the Master (or Mistress) through a character arc that only Michelle Gomez could have handled so effectively. She took a one dimensional evil villain and made him/her someone more relatable. Everyone struggles with dark and light and Missy portrayed that struggle brilliantly while being bone crushingly funny as hell one moment, then finding depths of empathy the next. That is what makes a great villain.

Roger Delgado played the twirly mustachioed villain really well. His version was still ultimately just that, the twirly mustachioed villain. He did a very good mua ha ha ha.

Okay: Delgado worked well because he had Pertwee to play off of. Pertwee was playing the Doctor as a super-smart paternal type; Delgado was the type of evil that also had respect for his main opponent. Basically you look at the pre-Donald Pleasance Blofeld, or David Warner’s R’as Al Ghul. Missy, on the other hand, had evolved from the Master’s previous incarnations - many of which added an over-the-top-showmanship quality to the Master, especially the John Simm and Eric Roberts versions. This results in a “notice-me-sempai” desperation to the performance that was quite fashionable in writing 21st century antagonists, and would appeal to sci-fi fans exposed to anime tropes. So the question of “better” depends on expectations. Me I prefer Delgado, but I’ll submit that Missy was much better than Sacha Dhawan’s scenery-chewing.

She’s allowed to have an opinion.

I would Love to see The Eleven on screen, He's portrayed so well by Mark Bonner he'd be fantastic and so creepy 😮

Yeah, that's what makes Chibnall undoing the Moffat retcon of the time war really frustrating. The last of the timelords trope had been done to death by the time of the 50th anniversary special and bringing it back was a mistake.

My fav has to be the 5th Doctor to 6th. Sadly Ive seen some NuWho fans shit on it by doing NuWho Regeneration effects over it and they all dribble saying it way better with NuWho effects - rolls eyes

@@Mark-nh2hs yea, ill never be convinced the Dr exploding into a fireball for 3 seconds is a good way to regenerate...

_The Classic regenerations were better because they were different each time, it kept things new with each incarnation..._ I tend to disagree in this point. They were only different due to different visual effects. The only exception was the regeneration from 4 to 5 with this white guardian. I didn't like that because it was never resolved.

@@Spielkalb-von-Sparta that may be, but the different visual effects each time made for a nice change each time in my view

@@thomaswilliams2780 I like the consistency because it's always the Doctor undergoing the same process (bi-generation excluded). But yes, they could twist the visual effects a little more, like the energy looking more reddish or yellowish or wobbling more or less to empathise different Doctors. Meeting in the middle ground. ;-)
