There's something so touching about tough-guy 9 joking with Rose before regenerating. He really tried his best not to upset her, didn't tell her what had happened, and even made her laugh as he was dying. Guy really set the bar high.

The scene that really got me was when 10 went back to Rose’s estate in the year of 2005, before she met 9. The way 10 said you’re going to have a great year or something really pulled my heartstrings because we realise how big the RTD era was.

When people talk about Twice Upon A Time, they always talk about how long he delayed regeneration and those one or two jokes that didn't land. I never see anyone talk about how this is a story about the Doctor at his very lowest, contemplating suicide. Ending his life. It's so heartbreaking, especially for any viewers who may have similar thoughts or had similar experiences, and it's handled so beautifully. The Doctor at the end, deciding to reluctantly keep going. It shows that he's not okay right now, but he has faith that he can be again in the future. My only gripe is that I think 13 recovered way too fast. Her first moments on screen are smiling and bubbley and jokey. This is a person who was ready to kill themselves 15 minutes ago! What happened?

34:54. I will always remember when The Doctor was Peter Capaldi. He was my Doctor, he was my professor, he was my warrior, he was my musician, he was my hero, & I didn't want him to go.

Great job with another fantastic video. My top five regenerations are: 5: Fifth doctor regeneration. 4: Eighth Doctor Regeneration. 3: Ninth Doctor Regeneration. 2. Tenth Doctor Regeneration. 1. Eleventh Doctor Regeneration.

The regeneration of Tom Baker feels kind of eerie, awesome and so mysterious. Even today we don't really understand the whole thing with the watcher. This is why I really like the recent episode about the edge, more exploration of such a unique idea.

Some people say the 12th Doctor's regeneration went on a little too long. I disagree. This WAS the Doctor's greatest strength - audible reflection. That's how he sorted things out, that's how he came to conclusions, that's how he analyzed. And if we're looking at this at a BTS perspective, this was an honorable good-bye from both Capaldi and Moffat. "Doctor, I let you go" is a fitting end. No tears, no heartbreak (from them), just a solemn but sweet goodbye.

Matt Smith’s regeneration brought tears to my eyes, legitimately and I don’t usually get moved like that.

Steven Moffatt said that they wanted to include more of Eccleston in the War Doctor's regeneration, but felt that to do so would have dishonoured Eccleston's decision that he did not want to appear in the special.

Three's regeneration still gets me nearly fifty years on. Falling out of the TARDIS as when we saw him first in 1970, bringing him back to his beginning. Trying to comfort Sarah with his dying breath. My Doctor, and my hero.

I’m glad the Fifth Doctor was at least at the top for classic regenerations. One thing people often overlook is this is the first time the Doctor held back his regeneration. Just before the cliffhanger to episode 3 of Caves we see the regeneration effect for a brief moment and the Doctor squints and shakes his head and it goes away. It’s not expanded on much. The director said that was his best interpretation of how Robert Holmes had written him holding back the regeneration so that he could actually have a chance to save Peri. And that’s why he thought he could potentially die, he thought maybe he missed his chance.

"Laugh hard, run fast, be kind" Words to live by.

Couldn’t have asked for a better video to be credited in 😍 another belter I must say 👏🏼

Say what you will about any other regeneration one thing will always remain McGann’s last line of ‘physician heal thyself’ is the greatest.

Best regeneration for me is 8th’s to war. SO GOOD!

Brilliant ranking, definitely some differences to my own but I think you did a wonderful job explaining your placements! My ranking would be: The Thirteenth Doctor - Whittaker to Tennant (it is thematically and visually beautiful, a perfect end to Jodie's time and showing why this Doctor was so special) Ninth Doctor - Eccleston to Tennant Eleventh Doctor - Smith to Capaldi Fifth Doctor - Davison to C Baker Twelfth Doctor - Capaldi to Whittaker Fourth Doctor - T Baker to Davison Eighth Doctor - McGann to Hurt Seventh Doctor - McCoy to McGann Tenth Doctor - Tennant to Smith Second Doctor First Doctor - Hartnell to Troughton Third Doctor - Pertwee to T Baker War Doctor - Hurt to Eccleston (albeit he doesn't show up) Sixth Doctor - C Baker (though really McCoy in a Wig) to McCoy

What a great reaction when the 8th Doctor came around before the 50th Special 🤩 I totally agree with your list. Thank's for a great channel!

I was kinda annoyed that 13’s regeneration changed the clothes it’s unique but I love seeing each doctor in the previous doc’s outfit

Hi, I'm from Russia, but I've been a Whovian for about 10 years. I'm really glad I came across this channel recently. I want to thank the creator of this video, because the list of regenerations is 100% consistent with mine. Special thanks for taking into account the audio play where the Sixth regenerates and did not omit the regeneration of the Thirteenth from the top, which was very beautiful, sad and truly Doctor-like (mainly due to the acceptance of the fact of the latter’s death).

7th doctor death explained in tv movie: 😢 7th doctor death explained in big finish: 💀

Five's will always top my personal list, but the points called out about 12's really have it contending for #1. With that said, I think it'd be worth examining "Caves" deeper to see why Five's regen rightfully nudges Ten's. I'm not disrespecting Ten's regen, Tennant, or any of it, but there's things that give Five's the edge in terms of meaningfulness. Had Ten's mini-tantrum not been a thing, we'd have a different story. But it was there, and in spite of all the emotional turmoil, it felt out of place. Sure, he absolutely did the right thing by sacrificing himself for Wilf, but I felt Ten should have stood brave in the face of the situation. Five, on the other hand, took utter responsibility for his actions and put literally everything on the line to save Peri. It's very worth pointing out that none of the events of "Caves" would have unfolded in the ways they did had the Doctor's curiosity been curbed. And yes, I know, without that there wouldn't have been a story. But there's where the brilliance of the late-great Robert Holmes is. He crafted the perfect story of just how many consequences can happen as a result of the Doctor's curiosity or interference. As a result, Five put Peri in terrible danger, and had to own up to that. He put his own life at stake and paid the ultimate price. Amongst all the chaos around him that was caused by his own actions, he sucked it up and owned up to what had to be done. The first time a Doctor gave up his own life purely to save his companion. Gorgeous, heartbreaking, and perfect. That's why the "Caves" regen gets my top spot and always will. But, here's my list. I don't think of things in terms of "worst to best", nothing like that. To me, there is no "worst" anything in Doctor Who. I love it all, so I prefer to say "something wasn't as good as something else", aka "it's all good no matter what." Five - see above! Twelve - hugely emotional companion farewells, epic pre-regen speech. Four - saving the universe and being killed by your arch-nemesis, doesn't get much better! Thirteen - the perfect, most gorgeous and simple regen that had SO much depth. Nine - heartbreaking farewell, Eccelston's performance was breathtaking. Three - like the Fifth Doctor, Three owned up to what he had to face. Sarah being there = immensely emotional. Ten - superb, would have been flawless if not for his little tantrum. But huge shoutout for RTD echoing back to Four and Five's companion "flashbacks" in a whole new way. I've seen other comments in other places that have said his farewell was too long and drawn-out. That's a bunch of nonsense in my book! One - the original, you might say! Hartnell on his last legs was still perfect, still powerful! Eleven - No dry eyes when he gives his farewell speech and when Amy shows up. Two - immense impact in spite of the forced regen, we learned about his people, and what happens when you cross them. Eight - Paul McGann needs his own TV run as Eight, even a short mini-series would do. Incredible performance. Seven - shocking for sure, but it was vastly different. McCoy passed the baton with his own style. Six - tough to swallow, but circumstances were what they were. BF expanding his regen was amazing! War - nice nod to Hartnell when saying "wearing a bit thin." Simple and sweet, and Hurt's performance made his regen shine.

I guess I have 3 regenerations that I consider the best for different reasons. For the speech, I like the 11th Doctor's regeneration. Matt Smith's last words as the Doctor: "I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I will always remember when the Doctor was me." And then Matt looks directly into the camera. That gets me every time. Matt Smith saying goodbye to the Doctor. (I also love that regeneration because my favorite Doctor, Peter Capaldi, is about to appear. The 10th Doctor's regeneration had the best pyrotechnics. His actual farewell was a bit whiny, but the sheer power of the regeneration just blew me away! Like a bomb going off! I also liked the 13th Doctor's regeneration even though she wasn't my favorite Doctor. The music was beautiful, the regeneration looked nice, and I loved the setting on a cliff overlooking the sea. Makes me think of the coast of Oregon, which is about an hour from where I live.

James Bond is a timelord too

The scene that got me was the 50th Special with William Bradley. William Hartnell was the first one who really set the series tunning..and he was t hff e one who defined what each button switch or lever dit... even chastising the set crew for getting them wrong. But seeing the first Doctor as the character he was, during the regeneration scene for him to look over and see Matt Smith as the Doctor smiling back at him....that got me good...as the first knows that he has a long experience ahead...and it is all good. Fav doctors: David, Peter D, Collin, Matt, Christopher, Peter K Jon, John,Tom, Patrick, Paul, Sylvester William. Though I like Jodie as an actress...her and Chibi were a bad combo

Your characterization of the 7 --> 8 regeneration is about how I have always felt about it. It was completely uncharacteristic of Sylvester McCoy's Doctor. It would have been different had he been shielding someone... a companion, a random person... but to just step out of the TARDIS and get waxed like that is just bad.

Thanks & Bless

That was a class video, im just wondering what was the name of the song you used when talking about the 5th doctor into the 6th doctors regeneration cause it is very good 😊

Watching matt smith regenerate hurt me and i think it should be higher cause at its time we didnt know he would get other lives, i know i didnt to be honest i thought my favorite show was gonna be over before the regen and when i saw him go it felt relieved

12's is my fav regeneration and i really like the speech he gave

the 7th doctor's death is ironic tbh. This incarnation was playing universal chess and everyone was his pawn, he had to have absolute control of everything leading him to be a very manipulative being. So him randomly getting shot and dying to american healthcare, something so out of his control, is ironic. But yeah i agree, he should of had a better death

Legally, they wouldn't be able to put a CGI Eccleston in there. An actor says "no, I don't want to be part of this project?" What are you going to do? Leave him out. You're not gonna put him in there with CGI! That's illegal.

Before big finish i never really understood why people thought the doctor fell off his exercize bike just because it's seen in the tardis console room. I always assumed it was due to the attack on the tardis causing a bit of a crash landing. He wouldn't be exercising while wearing his full costume anyway. And they even write it in the script: 'The crash must have caused me to regenerate'

This was a cool ranking. Enjoyed watching this. Here’s my Regeneration ranking. Warning, you may disagree with some placements. 1. 9th to 10th Doctor (Eccleston to Tennant) 2. 11th to 12th Doctor (Smith to Capaldi) 3. 13th to 14th Doctor (Whittaker to Tennant) 4. 12th to 13th Doctor (Capaldi to Whittaker) 5. 5th to 6th Doctor (Davison to C. Baker) 6. 1st to 2nd Doctor (Hartnell to Troughton) 7. 6th to 7th Doctor (C. Baker to McCoy) 8. 4th to 5th Doctor (T. Baker to Davison) 9. 8th to War Doctor (McGann to Hurt) 10. 3rd to 4th Doctor (Pertwee to T. Baker) 11. 2nd to 3rd Doctor (Troughton to Pertwee) 12. 10th to 11th Doctor (Tennant to Smith): 13. War to 9th Doctor (Hurt to Eccleston) 14. 10th to 10th Doctor (Tennant to Tennant?) 15. 7th to 8th Doctor (McCoy to McGann)

1:10 - What is that background music, been wondering for the longest time 😅

Hi I live in Tampa they stopped showing doctor who here before seeing all of the show of Jodie how can we see them

12th's closing speech, I think, was beautiful. And I guess it was actually Moffat's farewell speech. Especially with its ending: "Doctor, I let you go."

I think the words 10 says before his fatal dose of radiation strike home that as egotistical and afraid and how dark he could be... "Wilfred, it's my honor." That's classy as all hell.

I get the Eccleston stuff about the war doctor but imagine how annoyed and how hard he would have sued if they used his image for long at all without his permission

Still wished 14 kept 13s outfit after regenerating. It takes you out of the moment in my view and it was such a cringe and pathetic excuse for not having David wear Jodie's outfit. Jodie wore Peters and no one really cared (she had the best post regeneration outfit alongside Matts raggedy Tennant look) but David wearing Jodie's clothes was a red line?

The First 5 are really good, they have the emotion, they aren't too long and the reasons are plausible. Just don't focus too much on the dated graphics.

I'm not sure, but I think the 12 doctors regeneration might've been caused when he got electrocuted by the mondasian cyberman on the roof top at the start of The Doctor Falls 🤔

15. 10-10 (The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End) - this one doesn’t really count for me cos it isn’t one Doctor going into another 14. 1-2 (‘The Tenth Planet’) 13. 10-11 (‘The End of Time’) 12. 7-8 (The TV Movie) 11. War-9 (‘The Day of the Doctor’) 10. 3-4 (‘Planet of the Spiders’) 9. 6-7 (‘The Brink of Death’) 8. 8-War (‘The Night of the Doctor’) 7. 2-3 (‘The War Games’) 6. 12-14 (‘Twice Upon a Time’) 5. 13-14 (‘The Power of the Doctor’) 4. 5-6 (‘The Caves of Androzani’) 3. 4-5 (‘Logopolis’) 2. 11-12 (‘The Time of the Doctor’) 1. 9-10 (‘The Parting of the Ways’)

Matt smiths was the hardest for me, 13 would never beat it

Actually 12’s regen started when he got an electro-hug by a Cyberman on the roof of the hospital, not when he was shot during the explosive battle.

Where was 10 to 11 ?

The other criticism I have with Peter’s regeneration is Clara’s memories. Way to ruin some of the emotional impact of “Hell Bent” Moffat.

I really hated 13s regeneration. She just gets beamed by a laser. That's it. She didn't sacrifice herself or anything meaningful like that. She just got stupidly killed.

Got to say those bottom two surprised me.

❤❤

The CGI of Ekleson Doctor would violate a few laws in USA and England. 9th doctor Could have the Doctor Who show

The 2nd doctor is more Howard lol

4:53 it might be nice but would have it been legal?

I thought you already did.

İ think 3-4 is should be last or at war doctor cuz even it be dramatic regen is so basic and its a thing i do not like

I started with Tom I ended with Peter until David Tom was my favorite.

16. 14th 15. 6th 14. 13th 13. 7th 12. War Doctor 11. Meta-Crisis 10. 1st 9. 2nd 8. 3rd 7. 8th 6. 4th 5. 5th 4. 12th 3. 10th 2. 11th 1. 9th

This is a great video count. I like modern doctor who a lot. As a kid I didn't understand it a lot with classic who, but modern who is something I fell in with along with the 1996 film. Doctor who should never be tainted with an American version. I would break all of the tvs in my house if they try that again

How did The T.A.R.D.I.S change entirely for the 9th doctor, I mean the Roundels and the Coral themes aren't even a bit similiar unlike the old and new Matt Smith T.A.R.D.I.S

The problem with Capadi's regeneration it was way too overblown. A long winded speech to himself about never eating pears? Its like a speech from a children's panto.

Since when does regeneration energy affect clothing? Just another example of how Chinballs doesn't understand anything about the Doctor.

neilsmith_animations did an animated version of The Sixth Doctor's Regeneration from The Last Adventure. You should go and check it out

People forget that Doctor who back then was normal for people during that time. I guess kids nowadays hate anything that doesn't have near perfect 4060p graphics and doesn't do what they want production teams to do... Wtf is wrong with fans of things nowadays?

Jodie has to be the worst by far. What an inconsistent mess. It was hurried and rushed and all her companions just rushed out the door like its no big deal. Just utterly bizarre. Not only that it was a total cop out with their relationship.

Ten’s aborted regeneration shouldn’t be counted because he didn’t change incarnations.

Jodie at number 5 is a major L

1. Dave tennet the best dr and brought the dr the best personality 2. Matt smith paralleled what tennet did but tennet being the originator gets 2nd best dr. Last. The girl is the worst dr

Sorry but 10ths regeneration is so much better than 12ths

The 2nd doctors scared the shit out of me. As a kid on KZfaq watching the regeneration comp, I was surprised by and confused by the old generation regenerations. Then when Troughton started screaming no my blood went cold

I started watching this with hope but as soon as you mentioned the doctor who movie I switched off. Boring stereotype journalism 🥱
