This makes sense, especially if you consider how the Ninth Doctor acts. He's extremely aggressive at times *ESPECIALLY* regarding Daleks because he's fresh out of the Time War where he believes they forced him to genocide (at least) two races, learning that the Daleks survived. Because of course they did. But when push comes to shove in The Parting of Ways, The Doctor stays true to his post-war promise of pacifism refusing to kill the Daleks even if doing so would save half of humanity and the rest of the universe. He only tends to waiver after that point when his loved ones are in danger (or harmed), or when the despotic Time Lords (who are potentially worse than the Daleks) return.

Tbh I’ve always thought that was completely obvious

@@lordolxinator The Ninth Doctor at the beginning of Series 1 would have gladly blown the Daleks up sky high regardless of the sarcifices, he'd already done it once before, it's just over the course of Series 1, Rose (before the love plotline) was there to guide him and help him through his pain and brought him back onto his normal moral track for the modern era.

That’s what I always thought.

That doesn't explain the nuwho doctor's violence against the cybermen for example how he turns off the emotional inhibitors in the cyber controllers army

It was pointed out in the extras of the Day of the Daleks dvd that the doctor shot an Ogron in cold blood when he was under no immediate threat. Ill get my coat 😆

I always just thought of it as one of those ideals that only belonged to a specific regeneration of The Doctor, since each Doctor has their own personality and beliefs.

Same here. But I look much younger than he did.

@@richardvinsen2385 Same here!

Written by the same person

I think most of the time, the doctor isn't that interested At least in new who, it's usally the companions who are. And companion wise, it's only rose, river, yaz, and Martha

@@lunatardisflyer102 Jack Harkness?? 😂

@@lunatardisflyer102 What about Reinette? Yes, technically she wasn't a companion, but the Doctor had some interest in her and weren't it for her death, he might have offered her a trip in the TARDIS (I think he actually did, but she died, so that got unfulfilled). And we know, that that was definitely on both sides, not just Reinette, or just the Doctor, but both of them were romantically involved.

Don’t forget Rule Number One. It’s entirely possible he only claimed that to set a powerful example.

Peter was brilliant in the role, agreed!

I admit that i loved 10 revenge modes, but 12 was a really kind and heartly piece of doctor

Same, 9 will always be ''My Doctor" because I started my Who journey with him and Rose, but Capaldi quickly became, and remains my favorite.

I liked 12 in seasons 8 & 9, but I was disappointed when he became a typical goodie-two-shoes nice guy in season 10. The brooding Doctor was refreshing to me, and I suppose a little relatable as I'm also relatively brooding.

I started watching in the U.S in 1982 with Tom Baker, but Peter Capaldi is my absolute favorite.

Said by his companion Emma, not the Doctor himself but close enough in my book!

She didn’t that’s why it wasn’t included as regenerations that happened inside the tardis Ellie only mentioned regenerations that actually took place onboard the tardis witch was 1 into 2 5 into 6 and 6 into 7 for the classic era

it also gets fans who abandoned after Tennant left the first time to return for this revamped series.

it is a little amusing, but i reckon the Time-Lords had "regeneration" rooms built that would instantly repair post-regeneration. Probably due to a self-isolated temporal reverse mechanic. Akso, I don't think everyone could regenerate as not all Gallifreyan were Time-Lords. the Doctor never explains his regeneration as a "Gallifreyan trick" tio cheat death, after all. He always connected it to the Time Lords... unless I'm missing something. Been a while since I watched the show, and I'm currently on the 9th Doctor during my rewatch. I can't stand the effects of the Classic series, or the echo-y audio, or the relatively exaggerated and sometimes cheesy acting which was considered normal during those days.

You can see that within the show, like Hell Bent very clearly shown the regeneration of the War General inside a building. I think all Timelords were pretty aware of when they received fatal injury and were about to regenerate, so they secluded themselves from other people and destructable stuff as much as possible.

The Doctor normally doesn't use guns - although even in NUWHO he can (and has on some occasions). I would add, sometimes they have used the sonic screwdriver as a gun.

@@KnightRanger38 yeh but not rlly like I don’t think he does he seems very against it a lot. Like the times I’ve seen him use one he has never pulled the trigger. Apart from once against a machine

Sure, The Night of the Doctor aired in 2013, but Eight is a classic Doctor. Depends how you look at it!

Arguably, the Eleventh Doctor regenerates outside the TARDIS as well, albeit back into his default younger version. Okay, he finishes regenerating in the TARDIS, but the bulk of it's already done by that point.

Right! That’s why he had to see a dentist. Too many Jelly Babies. Good call. 😂🤣👍

Those are just regular sweets (with wrappers) not jelly babies.

They're humbugs, aren't they? They're certainly a boiled sweet of some kind.

@@robalexander8065 Tom Baker offered a man Jelly Babies in the Sunmakers and we could see they clearly weren't Jelly Babies but Liquorice Allsorts. Jelly Babies at this point are whatever the Doctor says is a Jelly Baby.

@@cameronjosephvideos5942 damn, the whole bag of sweeties must've regenerated!

My mom says this (not all the time) and it’s annoying

So you are forgetting during the classic era when the Doctor was always credited as ‘Doctor Who’

The chief offender in this one is "The War Machines", where he's explicitly referred to as "Doctor Who". Like Terrance Dicks said, "Canon is whatever I can remember at the time."

Actually the show itself referred to him as Doctor Who in the credits up until 2006, the Doctor has been referred to as Doctor Who in the show many times, most if not all the actors refer to the character they played as Doctor Who as a way of avoiding confusion with other people, and most other people involved in production of the show refer to the character as The Doctor and Doctor Who interchangeably. So yes, the character's name isn't _technically_ Dr. Who, but to avoid confusion, it basically is, and pulling people up on it can end up making YOU seem like the idiot because most fans acknowledge this.

The Master/Missy refers to The Doctor as Doctor Who when she's pretending to be him in the World Enough and Time story. Always irritated me.

Yea, 13th fell out of the TARDIS and the poor girl dematerialized shortly after. 12th's regeneration broke most of the console room to the point, where some stuff ceased to work properly, 13th after looking at her image pushed some button, which resulted in a shortcut and that shock threw her out. She wasn't desperately ejected by the TARDIS. Although, after her dematerialization, the TARDIS was stuck in a loop on another planet, I think that's why people could think, that she threw 13th out deliberately.

Exactly what I said. It’s a flaw in a lot of ‘New Who’ fans, they think everyone is ignorant of the past. I’ve been watching since 1979. I know my stuff.

Do you mean the 11th or the 12th, cause 13 never met the Doctor as far as I'm aware.

Yea, Tennant regenerated into himself, but he kept the face, personality and stuff, his regeneration is essentially just healing, he even explained it as that "I've used the energy to heal myself, but didn't want to change, why would I? So I've sent the rest of the energy to the nearest compatible recipient." talking about the hand. So the Doctor healed, but didn't change, meaning it's not a whole regeneration. Yes, the whole energy was spent, but after healing the rest of that spent energy was sent to the hand. So while it counts as a regeneration energy spent, it doesn't count as a whole regeneration underwent. He is still the same 10th Doctor. Why would he have to be count as 11th? He didn't change into another man, he just healed his wounds and used a trick to avoid the change. It is yet another regeneration, but it is still the same Doctor and there is a clear difference between those two. Regeneration and Doctor are often interchangeable, when each of the Doctor speaks about his/her former "regeneration" (meaning personality and whatnot), but when people outside the show refer to these terms, regeneration means the process, while Doctor number 1 to 13 means each personality. So while a regeneration event occured, a personality didn't change. That means 10th Doctor's first regeneration (the Meta Crisis event) is a regeneration, but isn't a different Doctor, so no need for the next number in the row. 10th Doctor is still 10th Doctor, not 11th. Matt Smith is proper 11th and always will be.

I believe you are thinking of Madame Kovarian.

It also rejuvenated him from being physically old to his regular 11th self (possibly still atop the church tower) before changing into 12th. And the change itself was very quick, like a sneeze. XD

And Patrick Troughton

Sorry! 😛

"Dora the explorer in the Tardis" ;o)

Hurt technically would have been 9, because he is supposed to be in between McGann and Eccleston numbering has always been funky to me

actually he would be the 4th ... as he was the war doctor ... and he didnt call himself the doctor because he didnt do the doctor ... he did war ... only in the special did he regain his way and become the doctor ... this would make tom baker number 5 and so on ... BUT as he was recorded as the war doctor ... and he refused the title of doctor ... he is one without being counted as one ... making tom baker the 4th ... and so on ... also people forget the curator ... is also the doctor ... making the 14th doctor actually the 15th ... and the newest one 16th ... as the curator ... is a revisit of an old face ... in his retirement ... and as we see him at the end of a special with the war doctor and the one who forgets and the one who hates ... making setting all the doctors from 9 onwards out place in time and space ... . which this who culture site NEVER has caught on to ... and they have missed the new seasons of plot lines because they have missed all the returns and cross overs and previous stories ... . also the timeless child and those who became immortal because of them are not doctors ... the doctor is and only is the doctor when he corrects the imbalance of evil and good ... as the first doctor gets told perhaps its just some bloke who goes around making things right ... making them and ONLY them the doctor ... the rest are just time lords ... who stole their immortality from a child because they could ...

@@kaboom-zf2bl ​ ​ actually the war doctor is the 9th doctor, if you watch the night of the doctor you can see the 8th doctor regenerate into the war doctor, so he isn’t the 4th doctor. As for the curator, that is a regeneration that hasn’t happened yet, so it doesn’t effect the current numbering.

@@watermeloxn well considering the time war they are talking about was between the 3rd and 4th doctor your version is IMPOSSIBLE ... that is the key time point he was the incarnation for the time war .... not for the christmas special where he gets a chance to make a different choice

Thank you very much all for your reply’s. Your response is valid and appreciated. And yes, looking at my old notes, (plus updates) he was indeed number 9. (Whoops and thank you for the correction.) Here’s how I arrived at my number: (Doctor’s on “Doctor Who” television show.) 1st Doctor William Hartnell (also Richard Hurndall, and David Bradley). 2nd Doctor: Patrick Troughton. 3rd Doctor: Jon Pertwee. (Technically my 3rd Doctor, and my favorite.) 4th Doctor: Tom Baker. 5th Doctor: Peter Davison. 6th Doctor: Colin Baker. 7th Doctor: Sylvester McCoy. 8th Doctor: Paul McGann. (Regenerated into…) John Hurt. (Regenerated into…) Christopher Eccleston. (Regenerated into…) David Tennant. (Regenerated into…) Matt Smith. (Regenerated into…) Peter Capaldi. (Regenerated into…) Jodie Whittaker. (Regenerated into…) David Tennant (?) (Regenerated into…) Ncuti Gatwa. Honorable (and not so honorable, or confirmed) mention: Movie Doctor: Peter Cushing. Valeyard: Michael Jayston Dream Doctor: Toby Jones. Timeless Child: (Various). Young Doctor: (In “Listen” S8•E4)(Rummored to have been Ty Tennant) Fugative Doctor: Jo Martin “Final Doctor”, aka Doctor 45, aka Doctor Moon: Colin Salmon. (Quote Steven Moffat: “In my head (and ONLY in my head, thihs probably never appear on screen, or be confirmed in any way) River’s not just [the Doctor’s] wife - she’s his widow. Somewhere in the terrible future, on a battlefield, the 45th Doctor dies in her arms and makes her the same promise she once made him - it’s not over for you, you’ll see me again. So River buries her husband and off she goes to have lots of adventures with his younger selves and confuse the hell out of them. Until, of course, she ends up in the data core of the Library Planet, and realizes she’ll never see him again. And then she starts to wonder why anyone would call a moon ‘Doctor.’ Ahhh…”) Respect to the many Parodies of the Doctor, and Big Finish Radio Doctors, too numerous to mention. Did I miss any? 🙂

Yet 10 also fired a gun lol

You have seen all 865 episodes? You must either be old enough to have seen all the missing episodes broadcast or somehow able to watch 97 episodes the majority can't. Impressive. BTW there are 871 episodes.

@@robalexander8065 maybe he's heard the audios for the missing stories? They still exist.

@@alunrundle162 I assume that is what he meant.

After, if you note, the Doctor tries to pull him AWAY from the bath. He pushes whilst he's against it but pulls when facing it.

Was there even indication of that?

Good writing never went anywhere and the only genuine retcon in the show’s history is making the Doctor a Time Lord of Gallifrey rather than a future human of an Earth colony.

@@DrWhoFanJ I assume devilsletsplays is referring to the Timeless Child story where regenerations prior to what we thought was the 1st Doctor were revealed without realizing this was strongly hinted at during the 4th Doctor's (Tom Baker) run where previously unseen regenerations were seen.

@@wallacewallaby5782 Indeed they are. It’s an extremely common misconception that I’ve seen trotted out time and time again by people who falsely insist the faces were Morbius, which makes no sense whatsoever from both a plot and IRL perspective.

@@DrWhoFanJ So.... You're saying that the Doctor was utterly shite at that mind combat sequence and didn't score a single hit on Morbius? That makes no sense to me.

@@alunrundle162 No, I’m saying that all the faces we saw in that sequence were the Doctor’s.

Actually to correct you the following Doctors regenerated outside the Tardis: 2,3,4,7 and 8 out of classic.

That's literally what they say in the video...

And she would be correct to do so. The character’s name is pronounced as if it were written VOTAN throughout the story.

@@DrWhoFanJ OOPS
