me Yeah, I know the 1st and War Doctor lived longer than the other regenerations in themselves, but overall, they were younger than the Doctors who came after them.

But hear , all The War Doctor adventures are on Big Finish . Now The 1st Doctor was likely not born but woven from genetic looms (book Lungbarrow , Cold Fusion also audio ) .

Ashbridge Industries because of the way they live a Doctor that has lived 1000 years can claim to be older than a Doctor who has lived 100 years despite being the earlier version. The First Doctor actually had a childhood, education, profession and only started being the Doctor when he was already a grandfather. The War Doctor fought a brutal war that arguably aged him to death, having no time for the young boys' nonsense the 10th and 11th were spouting. 11 himself lived on Trenzalore for 700 years, becoming as old and cranky as the 1st. If he had met any previous Dr he would call them young man. The oldest doctor 12 protests to the 1st that he IS younger despite the obvious

SantomPh Great comment

Ashbridge Industries 11 also lived long time, I think older than War Doctor but not as old as the 1st.

Doctor Who The Five Doctors Kraucheunas Deviantart

He was there but he wasn't there 😂

Same here.

So they used some other footage of baker e in the gondola?

Yeah I haven't seen this for years and wondered why he wasn't in the ending.

It was like this on set too, apparently Troughton and Pertwee would bicker at times over takes or lines.

+Therio Cassius It was never acrimonious, though. The two were great friends and did many, many appearances and conventions together.

I read somewhere they both served in the Merchant Navy. Troughton was a workaholic. Pertwee was a determined businessman and actor. If I had to choose I'd choose Troughton, because I have always liked the idea of someone being underestimated and still being the smartest person in the room

+Ed Parnell The Royal Navy, if you please! They were both in the Second World War, and indeed served for a time together on the same ship. Troughton was apparently very eccentric; in freezing cold weather, he refused to wear a helmet and instead wore a tea cosy on his head.

Both involve big boats, so I was in the right pond.

Epic line!

*heavy breathing*

It reminds me of when Harriet Jones would tell people she was the PM or former PM.. "Yes, we know" lol. We saw the video too!

The Doctor (6th) regrets it in Trial of A Time Lord

Well now the SJW rewrote the history and retcon 57 years of show so...

ah...clever!

He finished gummidge a year or so earlier than the 5 doctors.

funnily enough, there's a comic from in between the 2nd and 3rd doctor eras that details a bit more about troughton's regeneration... and it involves time lord-controlled scarecrows!

I would like to see Worzel Gummidge.

I just noticed that for the first time.

He does appear in archived footage of Dalek Invasion of Earth right at the beginning of the special.

He will always be the original

😂

The third doctor called the second "scarecrow" , and yet it was Jon Pertwee who went on to play Worzel Gummidge! Go figure! Gotta love irony!!😊

He looked much more womanly, more like a grandmother, as happens with men as they age, and the testosterone lowers. The hormonal reason behind why many men are said to "soften with age. The same reason, only in reverse that women grow hairs on their chin.

Oldest Doctor at that point, youngest actor. Quite amusing isn’t it? To be fair, Peter did look like a young lad, so it does make sense.

There are two ways of looking at that, actually. Yes he is the oldest among them in chronological order but is still younger in that particular regeneration than the others. So in a sense, both views are correct. He is simultaneously the Elder and the Baby of the group.

@@LordZontar Yeah, the way I see it as despite 5 being the current incarnation at the time- physically and personality wise, he was the youngest. Each incarnation despite being the same person are still multiple different personalities, so of course the other Doctors act older because despite coming before him- their bodies and minds are older. Regeneration is such a strange thing.

If you watch Sarah Jane Adventures, she also meets Matt Smith's Doctor, too.

Seven. The first five; David Tennant; and Matt Smith in The Sarah Jane Adventures ("Death of the Doctor").

Precisely, majus.

And of course, Patrick and Jon have met two different incarnations of the Master. I think Tom sort of holds the record in that regard, although Peter is tied with Patrick and Jon.

Although she doesn't seem to have remembered the events of The Five Doctors when she met #10... Which kinda' figures. It appears that, to avoid paradox, only the oldest Doctor can retain the memory of these timeline-crossing events.

Honestly, while I don't care at all for the idea of any Doctors being recast (regardless of whether they're alive or dead), Hurndall does a lovely job. He's not much like the First Doctor (neither is Bradley, for that matter), but for what it is, it's a charming performance all the same.

Hurndall did very well playing the First Doctor and was very believable in that role.

Aye its sad that he died only months after the episode aired. :(

The Observer the role of 1st doctor was meant for david bradley suits him well obvs in future from then

curt wall 1st Doctor is Hartnell. Richard, and David are substitute (playing William Hartnell as the Doctor).

The original Delia Derbyshire theme and the 5th doctor’s theme are my two favourites so hearing them blend together makes me so happy

4:59

Philip Thompson actually he was calling himself a scarecrow haha

+ Anna Schiro What Philip Thompson means is that Jon Pertwee's other iconic role is that of a living scarecrow named Worzel Gummidge. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jc-dhcqhv5itd4U.html

I loved worzel Gummadge but was never that keen on Pertwee's Doctor ( Contraversial )

Loved Worzel Gummidge

STGDowl " now aren't sally have cup of tea and a slice a' cake "

wrong anniversary special

Also its... "Oh, so you're my replacements! A dandy and a clown."

some have pointed out that other Doctors could make the same statement (4, 9)

We're lucky she was even allowed to call him 'Grandfather'. John Nathan-Turner didn't want the reference because he said it would make people think about the Doctor having sex... Carole Ann Ford said if that was the case, she wouldn't do the story, so JNT was forced to cave. She thought it was utterly ridiculous. There was apparently a scene filmed of a short conversation between Five and Susan, but apparently they thought Carole Ann Ford and Peter Davison had sexual tension... So it was cut.

@HARRYRANTS A. That's not how you spell Karen B. Literally just being a woman doesn't make you a Karen, but I guess you take objection to female heroes full stop.

@@Althalus2010 hes a hater

Same difference 😂

@HARRYRANTS where did you get “hater” from 🙄

Talk to the hand, oaf.

I really did enjoy Peter Davidson, and not just because I loved him in All Creatures. I also think he was the best Doctor for the Gallifrey scenes

I really miss Peter, it’s sad that he’d already decided he was leaving at this point

It's an unpopular opinion, but Peter was ,my favorite classic doctor. He was the most "every man." I have watched Time Crash with he and David Tennant (my favorite modern doctor) dozens of times (before David had become Peter's son -in-law). If find it comforting somehow

@@amiblueful he was a great doctor

🙄

I loved that Doctor's Assemble. 6 was just hilarious with the cats

its not , its videos you watched during Lockdown@@SteveyTheEx-Eevee

We don't talk about 13

Lol

You need more likes and comments XD

He's done more than enough, I don't care how much he has - he can get himself home!

Too true

🖕🖕🖕

un-MASTERed and re-MASTERed😂

No matter which incarnation it is I think the Doctor views the Brigadier as a real friend and someone he could trust and rely on. Companions always seemed like people the Doctor was teaching and educating, and that is probably why when the 2nd Doctor was forced to regenerate he sought out the Brigadier. He compensated for the aspects the Doctor lacked. And in the episode with the 7th Doctor you can see the happiness and also concern as the Doctor knew what he was doing and didnt want his friend caught in the middle. Would have loved to see a real episode with him and the 6th Doctor.

@@diracsea4590 Wholeheartedly agree, that Dimensions in Time was nice, but a real one would have been better.

That was made quite clear in Time Heist, as well.

Remind me which one was that

Capaldi's Doctor and Clara agree to have their short-term memories wiped with those worms, as well as 2 other people, a modified human that "becomes" whoever she touches, and an "enhanced" human with computer chips installed in his head. They are in the most secure bank in existence and must break into the main vault itself without getting killed in order to find out why they agreed to it, and to get out. tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Heist_%28TV_story%29

Yeah, yeah I remember that, and yes, yes it has been canon for so long but only stated in that episode I suppose. Maybe it's a good thing Nine never got a crossover because that one had self loathing to the extreme

He was the nearest one to (what he believed was) the destruction of Gallifrey, so that's understandable.

bit of a running joke

Ironic from 3's point of view since that version was the version immediately before him.

I don't think any of the Doctors get a long do they ?

Troughton and Pertwee got along great in real life. So did 10 and 11. Pertwee and T Baker didn't dislike each other. They just weren't friends...

Oh, they got on famously as long as they were in agreement.

No, seriously, in real life, they were good friends...

It’s a shame that they never did anything like that in any of the other anniversary specials or multi doctor episodes

India Johnson he wanted to take Sarah to see his Eye of Orion, if you know what I mean. Wink wink, nudge nudge. When this TARDIS is a rockin', don't come a knockin'!

Considering "Worzel Gummidge", Pertwee's use of the term "scarecrow" was perhaps a touch ironic.

+David Blyth You don't "crush on" children who are in your care. That's how the Doctor regarded his companions back when he wasn't a romantic character (one of the crippling blows dealt to the post-2005 series). And his life was always dangerous; he'd previously lost Katarina and Sara, both in the same adventure when he was in his original form.

@@DeanStrickson Peri was hotter than Sarah AND he got to stare at her cleavage as he died.

@David Blyth no he didnt , there was NEVER romance between Sarah and the Doctors, that was Jo and 3rd!

I suppose it's because the Hartnell Doctor was the "longest" lived incarnation (up to that point anyway) and also is further back in the Doctor's past than the others, so that's how he's regarded as the Elder of them by the future selves.

No war as far as I know.

I don't consider them 2 separate shows. The newer episodes are just that- newer episodes.

I feel the same.

Planet 360 it’s the same show just 2 majorly different eras, the classic and the modern.

Because back in the day, folks knew how to write "Doctor Who," not "what I want Doctor Who to be."

Oh, Susan always had the Doctor wrapped round her finger, and it shows in a lot of episodes. Hartnell was genuinely fond of Carole An Ford, and came to regard her as a granddaughter. She jokes that he thought her to be younger than she actually was.

MCSiblings2 TV Studios how different

How?

The first DVD release of The Five Doctors was edited compared to the original TV version. They added in some deleted scenes and updated some of the special effects. You can see both versions on the Special edition DVD of The FIve Doctors.

trence5 He chose not to be in the episode, after seven years you can't blame him for not coming back. Though in recent interviews he has said that he regrets not coming back for the five doctor's.

trence5 At least he was in Day of the Doctor

then you would be pissed at Tom Baker. He choose NOT to participate

KAO S l guess so.

trence5 some say Tom is still rowing that boat

As originally written, the title was The Six Doctors(with the First Doctor and Susan eventually revealed to be androids). The Fourth Doctor would have gone to meet with the Time Lords, playing out everything the Fifth Doctor did there in the actual version. The Fifth would have accompanied Tegan, as the First Doctor did. The Fourth would have then fallen under Borusa's control, and contacted the others just before he and Borusa teleported to Rassilon's tomb.(So, the brief scene where Troughton's Doctor acknowledges contact would have been him acknowledging the Fourth). The Fifth would have then helped the others free the Fourth...and I think the Fourth would have departed first, so there really wasn't much interaction planned, anyway.

@@brianoneill7186 also Sarah Jane Smith was originally to have paired up with the fourth and Jo Grant with the third. I would love to have seen Sarah Jane Smith's reaction in seeing 3 and 4 together

From what I read in 'Doctor Who Monthly' back in '83, Katy Manning was never involved, and Elizabeth Sladen was a late addition to the cast. (She had previously been asked to return to the series twice before, initially after Louise Jameson left, and again to be present for the Tom Baker-Peter Davison transition). The original plan was for Tom Baker to appear with Lalla Ward...but the production team had no clue that they were getting a divorce, until the day they approached Baker about the special, and he was not very receptive, because he'd been in a meeting with lawyers! Pertwee was supposed to team with Nick Courteney, and Troughton was originally going to be with Jamie. 'Emmerdale Farm' wouldn't give him time off to do the special, so they added the cameos' by 'phantom companions'. Hines was given a few hours off, long enough for his cameo...but his scene originally included Victoria. Deborah Watling was under contract to do a Dave Allen series, and dropped out of the special...and then they decided not to do that Allen show, so she got nothing! An early draft of the script featured Colin Baker as Maxil, from 'Arc of Infinity'. John Levene was supposed to play Benton, but turned it down when he showed up and realized his part was basically two lines as Troughton arrives and leaves('He's here, sir!, and 'That was the Doctor!'), which, after Levne left, were simply given to some generic, unnamed 'sergeant'.

How many signed and who? Congrats! And that was awfully nice of "Yates" to do that.

Believe me, his friend Jodie could talk him into it.

Perhaps Eccleston could do as Baker did , and get trapped !! ( Story Wise , at any rate !! )

I would love to see that. Especially the reaction of the 11th Doctor seeing the 13th Doctor because when he regenerated he thought he was a girl for a moment.

Paul McGann is the one I’d really like to see more of. He was incredible in Night Of The Doctor

No Shittalker

it's funny though

*shrug* It would still just be her grandfather, and she already knows him. :-)

Micheal McGrath I also heard he had issues with the writers.

Henry Peters And also he hated JNT for what happened in his final series which was JNT's 1st as producer

Why is it called the Five Doctors if there's only 4 of them?

Which is a shame. I thought his final season was one of Tom's best.

Tom Baker's still a legend as theory said, it was too soon after he quit-or a disagreement over the script? Remember The Three Doctors when the late William Hartnell made cameo role due to long illness?

He also says it in The Three Doctors to Liz. I still find it hilarious that it's all over that comic relief parody

I kind of wish they called up jeffrey beavers Obviously Roger Delgado had passed But having a multi master story In the same setting as a multi doctor one would be a great way to show the difference of the characters

They are all different and all the same. Which is impossible, and that's what's so great.

Hurndall passed away 7 months later and was never paid for his work on this film. I am unsure about his estate being paid.

You realize William Hartnell was dead at that point, right? Besides, I thought Richard Hurndall did a far better job at playing the original Doctor than William Hartnell. Maybe it’s just Terrance Dicks’ superb writing coming through, but I much preferred Hurndall’s performance to Hartnell’s.

Also Tom didn’t appear because he was totally typecast and wanted to break the public’s very strong association of him with the part. The last thing that would have been good for his career at that point would be to return for the 20th anniversary only 2 years after leaving when he already was there for 7 years. All the news outlets and journalists would be screaming “Return of Tom Baker to Doctor Who!” It would have been terrible. If you really cared about Tom you’d know he made the right decision. Besides, I think what JNT did was quite clever, using hitherto unseen footage from Shada to write Tom into the plot, even if we barely see him.

William Hartnell had passed away 8 years prior, but Hurndall did very well playing the First Doctor. Don't know why Tom Baker declined to appear.

Just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with it.

This is why, in hindsight, I kinda despise the modern iteration of Doctor Who because those in charge seem to want to go out of their way to mess up with things that were already established in the OG show. Even in the Classics, regeneration was already established to have limits, if a Time Lord/Lady was fortunate enough they were to have 12 regenerations and then die but no, Modern Who just ruins a reasonable thing just to keep milking the franchise. I've never seen anything to do with the Timeless Child (I stopped watching Modern Who in 2015 because I got bored with it) but even I agree that that shouldn't have happened. It's like what Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park: they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

@@indiajohnson I stopped watching when Capaldi left, Moffat was the one to start constantly changing the rules. In the classic series there were Time Lords and Time Ladies and they didn’t swap genders, making the master into a woman with Missy I hated and when they did that with the doctor I decided to give up on it plus the writing was awful, I also don’t like the idea now that Chris Chibnall established where the doctor can regenerate infinitely it contradicts what the first doctor says here about Immortality being a curse, I choose to see Capaldi as the last regeneration as he was the 12th body and the doctor died before he could regenerate.

stephen connell Yes! And the gender crap IS ridiculous. So sick of people and their cynicism trying to repaint art that doesn't need it, and seeing imperfections where they don't exist. Enjoy life and experience for what it is, not what it isn't (kind of went off on a tangent there, LOL)

I agree. I'm regularly stunned by BBC's ability to transition the old show from one of running up and down in corridors amid low-budget effects, to one that explores the companions' backgrounds, is more diverse in cast, features first-class TV effects and many mind-warpingly creative stories (e.g., Knock Knock), and is, more regularly than Classic Who was able to be, beautiful and profound in its examination of the human condition -- for all good SF turns out to actually be about human nature and things right here on Earth, don't you know. On a personal note, the time 11 told the sleeping little Amelia Pond, "We're all [just] stories in the end" really got me thinking and has possibly changed my life.

Are you sure it wasn't the War Doctor who said it to them both? I'm sure he followed it up with that comment about being half the man Clara was.

No, it was Ten - "I'm glad my future is in safe hands!" to eleven. War Doctor said about how they wouldn't retain their memories of this and that he says "At least for now, I am the doctor again!" and says to Clara the "half the man she is" joking on that he wanted another companion.

lyra lupin Yeah but he meant Clara! LOL

Sorry, you're wrong. Before the 10th Doctor left he referenced his final words "I don't Want To Go" rather than the 5ths last words from the 25th anniversary show.

@@theaussiebackflipboy He actually said both. He said "Glad to see my future's in safe hands," before remarking about how he needs a new destination, because "I don't wanna go" to Trenzalore.

Lol

That is a very bizarre metaphor

In their relative timelines they have been brought to 5s present, his time where Gallifrey and the Master have aged the same alongside him. They always return to Gallifrey in their present experienced time, never the future or past (either made impossible by the Matrix making sure the experience is correct and allowing them passage or some other science)

I have a horrible feeling they're going to have Jodie say that at some point.

+Moonfall777 I could handle that, especially Nicola Bryant's bit. But then I've always liked her bits....

+Moonfall777 Seems to me he hates the classic series anyway, so you're most likely right.

Classic era suggestions from somebody who saw them go out first time round as a kid in the awesome gothic era 70s! - check out The Ark in Space and the 4 or 5 stories after it - all great. Also see Pyramids of Mars and the Brain of Morbius. Image of the Fendahl good too. If you can forgive the effects, all these stories are great!

I am on the fence with that one. 5 Doctors would’ve meant significantly less time for each Doctor. So while it sucked not having Tom Baker in there for consistency sake, the story was (IMO) better without a 5th.

He doesn't fancy the desk-job promotions...

twice that i know of

(i.e. Tom Baker's and Colin Baker's)

To St, no it was subtly different in places.

not for the end credit music

The end credits music begins with the 1963 theme with the pitch increased to match the 1980s theme when it transitions into it in the middle 8.

His name is Davison.

Logan 900 And if had Tom Baker taken part.

Logan 900 I doubt they would’ve been able to get him in anyways considering how bad his health would’ve been. I mean he was only able to appear in the three doctors via a TV

This special was called The Five Doctors, but Baker declined to appear, so they used footage from Shada (unaired at the time) and he was trapped in some wibbly wobbly time vortex thingy.

EmperorFrozenToes *The 3.5 Doctors

The Four Doctors is a Big Finish story.

Five. They're all in it.

+Doriartus Are you having a go at Troughton's height?

Not quite, he had already played Worzel by the time the 5 Doctors had been broadcast so Pertwee was very aware. It is very much an in joke.

@@davekp6773 Depending on how you view the canon, with all this time travelling, he did Dr Who first, then Worzel Gummidge - but this adventure was filmed after he played the titular scarecrow! At the time this adventure was filmed, seven actors had played The Doctor - William Hartnell, who, to actually make sure he could appear, footage of his saying goodbye to Susan was shown as a pre-titles shot, Peter Cushing, of Hammer fame, played his interpretation of William Hartnell in two films, and, in this production, Richard Hurndall is doing his best to play the First Doctor as William Hartnell, footage from the unbroadcast episode Shada was used so as to include Tom Baker and Peter Davison was, as Patrick Troughton put it, “the latest model!”.
