"Here comes Peter!" Love how excited he is to see his father in law becoming the doctor.

Funny to imagine a young David Tennant watching this on television not knowing he was watching his future father in law.

and many years later, "dont blink" got a whole new meaning in doctor who xD

This is so adorable. I think it's sweet to consistently see how much love David has for not only the role of the Doctor, but the show as a whole.

In terms of "lining up the shots" for a regeneration, I always remember the confidential footage of the changeover of Derek Jacobi in John Simm and how they kept moving Simm around and then FINALLY got to the actual filming.

David Tennant is a national treasure.

I still have incredibly vivid memories of Patrick Troughton frantically choosing his replacement before giving up and regenerating as Jon Pertwee. 1968, I think, and a traumatised 4 year old never forgets! (Nor forgives Jon Pertwee from replacing his hero. Well, not for another year or so, anyway!)

I think it's amazing they kept the shots of the process. We get so spoiled by what we can do with computers and videos these days. The effort they put into the effects of the past .. well done, and well done saving this!

*So weird, me and David Tennant were watching the same episode at the same time but only one of us became the Doctor.* And all I became was a time traveler.

Crazy how they did all that even with a weeping angel on set

Knowing that they would be reshown 40 odd years later… For your son-in-law to react to it, no less 😂

So interesting to see, and hear David's comments... I remember watching this when it was on telly, I wasn't a very emotional youngster but seeing Tom Baker's DW pass away felt like losing a family member...still upsets me even watching it with the technical bits...

I am a couple of years behind David, but I remember that regen in my heart. It was almost like an election special. You started to think - admittedly as a child - what the future was going to be.

I remember the episode. I was 14 or 15 and a little sad that Tom as the Doctor was over. He and Sarah Jane were my favorite pair

Things like this make you appreciate the enormous amount of work and meticulous attention to detail that goes into getting everything right in even a scene that's only a few seconds long after editing. The old saying, "If you know what the magician knows, it's not magic anymore" doesn't apply here. It's still magic when you see the finished product with an appreciation of how and why it looks as good as it does.

Baker was interviewed years later,, he said he was tired of playing the Doctor, the physical nature was becoming too much for him, it shows a bit in that clip... he now does ensemble cast audio versions of the 4th doctor with Big Finish Productions, some of the same team used to make the show is involved it's done in the1970s style ie the drama, plots, and the music have the old feel... its surprisingly good

"don't blink" weeping angel flashbacks

David would be surprised how many times we watch Doctor Who Confidential with his change into Matt Smith, the recent behind the scenes clip of David lining himself up with Jodie Whittaker for her regeneration, and hopefully see the change from David to Ncuti in Doctor Who Unleashed.

David is a terrific actor and a fan who lived the dream more than once. Fantastic!

he’s so sweet 😢

2:53 Can't wait to watch the future Doctor react to old Doctor Who Confidentials leading up to the 90th anniversary special.

I'm as much geeking out over watching this with David Tennant and seeing his reactions, as I am over seeing the BTS itself. Clearly Mr. Tennant is himself a super-fan.

I would really love the see the whole making of Tom’s Regeneration, we only got a few clips on the a new body at last documentary on the Logopolis DVD, now is the time to see the complete making of please. it would make me so happy 😊

The classic series was so fun. I watched the original run in the late 80s to early 90s in the States on PBS 5-10 yrs minimum after they originally aired. They would have fundraisers to pay for broadcast rights to syndicate the show, airing on Saturday nights.

That was so awesome!!!! Thanks for that!! Along with David’s commentary, it was fantastic!!!

It’s perfect for 60th anniversary.

You can see him struggling with how excited he is to see this vs. being terrified that they're gonna do this with his behind the scenes footage in the future.

0:17 "..Don't Blink.." David Tennant: "Ohh... I know about that too well, lady..."

This is wonderful! 🙂

I'm watching this clip and forgot that he's watching the behind the scenes moments his father-in-law became The Doctor

I just watched the regeneration studio footage from time and the rani last night, took much longer because Sylvester couldn't see the monitor for most of it.

What a gem

It broke my heart when Tom Baker left😢

The first time I saw Dr. Who, it was this scene at the end.

Love this

Hurrah! My two favorite Doctors in one video! I commented yesterday on a Tom Baker birthday post, that he was the most influential man in me, other than Jesus. Zany, eh?! Thank you both.

Put Tennant and Capaldi in a room to geek-out about all the classic bits! Zero concessions to the general audience.

How can you not love #10 ❤❤❤❤❤

It's actually just frightening that was forty-odd years ago! 😧!

Great actors look at it now

Same, David. Same.

I heard in an interview given by someone that when Tom was finished, he just walked away saying goodbye to no one and just leaving. I don’t think there was any ill will at play, but I think to see it all end affected him more than he realized it would.

🤩

@corridorcrew should cover this! Amazing

I love this! To this day, I think the regeneration sequence from 4th to 5th is the most beautiful, creative, and brilliant one made to date - I never get tired of watching it.

Perter davidson is David Tenants Father in Law ?? WOW SO COOL Keeping the doctor in the family.

It funny, because david has video diaries on the original dvds of his show.

I think for the actors who played The Doctor in NuWho have it abit easier doing the regeneration scenes because atleast they stand up and do it while the actors in Classic had to lay down and regenerate that would had been very hard work.

tom wears his boots, peter wears the socks & shoes from leisure hive

Tom completely ignored Peter just as Jon completely ignored Tom in the regeneration scenes.

if Tom Baker was the Superman of Doctors, Peter was the Clark Kent. I wish they would have leaned into the Clark Kent aspect more. I feel like there was a lot of really good story potential that never got told.

I remember watching this not knowing it was the end of Tom Baker's run, and thinking "Who's this kid? That's not the Doctor!" 😂 There was no Twitter to complain to, just stopped watching and got into other things after that. As we all should at some age.

I'm not so sure that the man who has shot the most regeneration scenes ever is in any kind of position to judge someone else's regeneration! :)

David, you should never have come back, your moment was incredible, you should have left it there. Fortunately for me, your 11 was nothing like your 14th. Shocking and at the same time sad, that you were sandwiched between two incredibly dull and unimaginative ‘doctors’. RIP Doctor Who, so glad I was there at the start, so glad that I was there at the conclusion. 1963 to 2013.

Ray, please do a color version of that midi-chlorian picture - they should be a green color (too light and they'll look like grapes).

I think the people watching the behind the scenes years later have some reverence for the moments involved.

This was fun in the weirdest way :D

David had to do that process 3 times. From 9-10, 10-11, and 13-14.

um... the don't blink at the beginning. Memories of fear...

Where is Pappa Who to sit with David? It's his father in law for crying out loud. Get them both! The conversations would be amazing.

Dont blink...😮

Funnily enough, when he got to this bit I actually found a jelly baby under one of my sofa cushions

Incoming in-law 😂

I remember it like yesterday. I was 5 1/2 and so upset. Adored Tom baker ❤

I was born in 1981

I think the scarf was Tom Baker’s. It was pretty unique.

Three words for you, David. Doctor Who Confidential!!

Tristan Farnon!

Difference was Tom was interesting and entertaining....

"That was Tom leaving Doctor Who forever"... still a bit bitter about missing the Curator, David? I get it.

Well David confidential is a thing, all of which is now available in full on Iplayer so sorry bud many of your behind the scenes moments are available and will be reshown throughout time and I know you know this.

tennant alphabet mafias airhorn

Not this is how a a regeneration is correctly done. None of that Biregeneratiopn BS they did so recently. I was sad as a boy to see Tom go.

Loved Dr who as a child. Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker were hard to replace. Peter Davidson did a good job, but lost interest with Colin Baker and those thereafter.

Don't blink, eh?

Tenant was the one that both elevated then destroyed the IP.

Sad..that TENNANT had a big hand in bringing back and ultimately destroying the franchise 😢

Shame on David Tennat for going along with what they did to his incarnation of the doctor.

Tom Baker so tude

Back when dr who wasn't a woke piece of shit that no one watches.

Dr Who is absolutely stinking now.

Tennant you are a sell out.

Surprised he's not disgusted by the lack of diversity in this majority male-presenting show.

This is just my opinion, but Tom Baker was the best Dr
