@@imsuperior7318 he didn't physically he spent roughly a year during each cycle

Apparently, according to the wiki about his age, he was constantly aged, and deaged throughout the entire Time War. Edit. I forgot to say that this was the reason he says he's only 900 years old in series 1, despite the fact he has said he was older on a number of occasions in the original series, and in some comics and the like.

I like to think that he forgot his age so he just says he's 900 because that's how many years since the time war ended

@@JohnSmith-gf3vz It’s probably because he doesn’t count the War Doctor when he says his age because he’s saying how old “The Doctor” is, and he didn’t consider the War Doctor the Doctor until after The Day of the Doctor.

@Babol Joshua Lao Matt Smith also said he was like 1200 years old but couldn't be sure in the day of the doctor

I know, right? I think it's a perfectly tragic ending to McGann's Doctor - after spending so long trying to do the right thing, his final act is essentially giving up. The salute to his companions is just the icing on the cake.

Are the audiobooks good? I don’t want it to be the movie all over again

An ancient proverb that appears in 'Luke' in the Bible - 'Cura te ipsum'

Delivered it like it was Shakespeare.

​@@andrewtucker94 not really, literally not the same, cura te ipsum is just "heal thyself".

The same line was used in the movie Supernova from 2000

Interestingly the Time Lords themselves only used small quantities of the elixir to assist with difficulties regenerating and were content to let the Sisterhood keep their immortality to themselves. (When Time Lord President Morbius tried to seize the elixir he and his followers were condemned as criminals and executed). The long-lived Time Lords viewed true immortality as highly undesirable.

A new hand touches the beacon of eternal boredom

Also a departure from the character's normal polite manner. As a Time Lord he honestly viewed the Sisterhood as serving wenches.

"...would have been." There is no would have, he is great in the Big Finish audios.

I need his skincare routine

Well, he does exercise daily.

He got the Paul Rudd gene

At least we got a made for TV movie.

They pretty much dropped the ball after making the film! There was almost NO publicity for the movie, I found out when it was going to air pretty much by accident. And there's probably quite a few people who don't even know the movie is out on DVD. He IS, however, my daughter's favorite Doctor. (She won't listen to the recordings because she says they're dragging the Doctor into angst and misery instead of just letting him win.

the TV Movie was supposed to be a pilot for a new series that would have been made in the US and targeted at a US audience. but the pilot didn't do well on US tv so it never happened, and in the process caused the show to languish in development hell until the chris eccleston era.

@@ejay1118 It was on the cover of tv guide! What more do you want from the 90's?

@Anonymus X Weird you just replied, not shitting you, I had a dream he was in his own episode last night. I can't remember what the story line was I just sort of remember him 'playing the doctor'. Probably a confusion of Withnail and Doctor Who or something. I have to add here that while I do love Doctor Who, aside from getting to see it through the 80's, I binged all the previous episodes I could get my hands on around the time I posted that, I've not been paying attention since. Capaldi is the last series I've seen. So I either dream of McGann as the Doctor subliminally all the time and your post caused a recall there, or that was a spooky co-incidence! I think I would have forgotten I'd had the dream if you'd not posted that, however. ... I remember he was good! edit: you've got me thinking now, it was like there was actually a reason to use McGann in a new series that actually made sense. I mean, it is Doctor Who after all... I think they could get away with what they want now they have 'Timey Wimey' vernacular.

I’m 6 months late but it’s an amazing feeling when the main parts of canon acknowledge side stories from other medias

he has gone through a lot during those times since the TV movie

I'm curious as to why he didn't mention Liv, Helen or Compassion

***** It wasn't even called regeneration until the Third Doctor turned into the Fourth. The abbot K’anpo explained it. It never changed afterwards.

His last words, "wearing a bit thin," were an Easter egg pointing to the classic series. It was originally said by the first doctor. With all of the Easter eggs in the 50th anniversary, it made sense to put that phrase in there.

I'd say this was one of the best almost-7 minutes of DW I've ever seen.

I've really despised Moffat since he took charge as showrunner but this truly reminded me that he can be absolutely fantastic if he puts his mind to it.

TheSmokegunner I have no proof, but I think Sherlock is damaging Moffat's abilities as a show runner for who because of the time it takes to do both. Again, I'm speaking out nothing.

I've heard that McGann may make an appearance in Series 9. Hopefully he will. On another note, I wonder if Hurt would be up for doing Big Finish stories, should they manage to get the license...

I heard a rumour Moffat could be considering an Eighth Doctor miniseries spinoff! :)

♫ Rest now, my warrior.... Rest now, your hardship is over~ ♫

Digital Paradise Studios the war never ended until the 11th doctor

I think It is because John Hurt died that they are saying this

The NCC Twelfth actually "No sir, ALL 13!"

@Digital Paradise Studios I came here just a comment such as this. R.I.P. John Hurt.

That got a chuckle out of me.

So basically 6 but more afraid of everything

Morty instead of Rick.

cause he doesn't age?

vigilante bird yes.

@Stefano Pavone he physically hasn't aged. That's what I said yes to

@Stefano Pavone He moisturizes

@@nickkahriman174 (in regeneration energy)

I really want them to give him a series. Same with John Hurt. Doesn't even have to be 10 episodes. But I'd like to see some of their adventures, I don't care if it's Capaldi retelling a story

The next best thing is has big finish stories. I would recommend Dark Eyes.

Chiko was here Yeah, But which war doctor would you go with: Young or Old ?

The Darksider Old, I love John Hurt

Chiko was here I personally would go with young war doctor because i want to see how he became what he is in day of the doctor.

Doctor Who has always been good at making supplimentary material canon, with the revival cementing McGann officially as the 8th Doctor, and then here cementing his Big Finish adventures as canon

A maxi- series would do it, too...

So good lol

Amazing comment

why is uhura scared ???? cos william shat`n`er :-))))

But there was no Dr who called afraid

This is very Capaldi!

"Will it hurt?" "....It will John."

There's his audio drama series released after the TV movie which are excellent

No, Peter Davison's 5-ish Doctors was.

JedAnimationStudios Meh, nah. There'd be none of the time traveling, none of the companions, none of the monsters but the Daleks. Sure, we'd get a bigger glimpse into Gallifrey and it's culture, but mainly it'd just be episode after episode of The Doctor running around zapping Daleks and growing a moustache.

Maybe a series revolving around number eight's adventures

jacob burt That's what Big Finish is covering. I recommend all of their audios, besides Eight, they do it for all the classic Doctors, even specials where they meet up! :)

JedAnimationStudios John Hirt is dead.

So is Tarkin

You forgot the outro. I can't remember seeing one!

Nope, I just rewatched, I'm certain there is no outro!

I ang

The reason why there wasn't a regeneration scene earlier is because RTD didn't want to confuse the mainstream audience who weren't familiar with the show at the time. Moffat wanted Eccleston as the War Doctor but he refused to return so then the secret incarnation came in. RTD's original intention was to have McGann be the War Doctor which I personally would've preferred rather than creating a new incarnation for one episode. The War Doctor was merely a Moffat invention so it wasn't the original intention. Paul Mcgann was supposed to regenerate into Christopher Eccleston.

what end?

CodeKillerz How oddly specific...

you. like many others, fail at forgetting. if you forgot the ending, you would of forgotten there was an ending. you wouldn't even know there was an ending.

Bandit Leader Yes I would. The end of something, is when that something ceases to continue. I'd know there was an end to the clip, but not in the way shown in the clip.

CodeKillerz Wrong. The silent make you forget everything you were doing, saying, and watching as soon as you look away. Because you forgot you were watching the ending, you forgot that there was an ending. Try again next time

That totally does not make sense at all, he said it perfectly fine.

*facepalm* You REALLY didn't get the joke?

I see what you did there

REST IN PEACE to that Hurt.

Stephen Cogan I just heard it to rest in peace war Doctor. You will always be my favorite Doctor

And they come back anyway oof

Well, it rhymes. Time War no more. And if there is one thing I learned from the Witcher, it is that every good prophecy rhymes. Thinking about it, there might be a Timelord by the name of the Witcher..... I want him played by Henry Cavill :D

@@sorrowandsufferin924 Please stop

*The Moment as Rose as Bad Wolf* No more, no more, no more-- No more.

The audio adventures are so underrated in the fandom

Unfortunately the fact that he doesn't mention Liv, Helen or Tanya feels a bit odd. Of course, there was no way to predict his future companions, but it always felt out of place to me. It's definitely a dumb thing to worry about though.

+Rimi Biswas big Finnish makes a bunch of audio stories for him

Yeah, the 8th Doctor has a bunch of cool audio adventures. I believe he has about 10 seasons now!

Theres a Doctor Who movie that features the 8th Doctor.

He had an enitre movie, buddy.

@Rimi Biswas: He was introduced in the TV movie special set in the US in 1996 [ it was filmed in Canada], it was to revive the series, began with the Doctor No 7, played by Sylvester McCoy whom had been the last actor to play him as the BBC axed the series in 1989. Doctor is involved in death by cop scenario and re-generates in the morgue to Paul McGann. You need to watch the movie, he never got a series sadly.

¡Allons-y!

Miki Rivera I'm more partial to "Reverse the polarity!", but to each their own. ;)

Sorry 10th but you were there in this regeneration, I mean, your him! Do you not remember?

+oxmys what??????????????????????

+kylo ren Well he changes into the younger John Hurt.

oxmys was that a reference to alien??

+kylo ren Yup!

+oxmys "Oh not again"

Hrs been working with the BBC again in the last couple of years so its possible

Yes please. I would like to get McGann back one more time while he still looks kinda young. For the 60th I would like McGann, Tennett, Smith, Capaldi and Jodie or who ever the new doctor will be. I'm not sure if Jodie will still be the Doctor or not by the time 60th comes around but if she isn't then I guess the new guy will be in the 60th. It's the 5 doctors 2.0. I'm not sure what the story would be about but those are the Doctors I would like to see.

+Bradley Green I think it conveys the change in mood and attitude of the Doctor following his regeneration.

A... drumbeat, you say? _flashbacks_

Tracer huh I to am a video game character that's self aware now let's go make some muneh

I think the DOCTOR assuming what must be done as allways. Should be Triumphant. And the NOISE silently DEMANDING "Subscribe" was a 2nd bit of Awesome.

Then again, Hurt's Doctor wasn't that dark to begin with,as we later learn. 9 10 and 11 tend to demonize the War Doctor as a way to deflect their own guilt, because they don't remember saving Gallifrey. We see in Day of the Doctor that the W Doctor wasn't even that different to his other selves. He wasn't cruel or even cold, but the other Doctors suffer from self-hated, so they remember him that way.

@@rodster6campingprepper There would be a lot good stuff for a spin-off... I really want that series :-)

English Prepper I've been Asking this for ages he still looks young enough we need to do it before it's too late

Yes sir

Great story

@Andrew Chapman: Yes, he turns into Eccleston in an episode which features David Tennent and Matt Smith as 10 and 11, he sasses them both for pointing their screwdrivers at folk- he turns inside the Tardis into the 9th Doctor. Paul should of got a series rather than this mini, which I don't remember, but, this also is the reason why that John Hurts version doesn't have a number and is basically known as The War Doctor, when technically he is the 9th Doctor and Jodie is technically the 14th but because he didn't want to be "The Doctor" and a warrior instead, the numbers start again from Chris Eccleston and Jodie Whittaker is the 13th I also doubt the last since The Master had 19 incarnations the last being Missy aka The Mistress played by Michelle Gomez. The Doctor needs a nemesis, although The Mister/Mistress is both friend and enemy. Of course there is Me, but I wasn't keen on her character.

Oh, you were so young back then... One day, you shall find out the hard way... Yes... One day...

I know but great shout out to

Or at least 4 of them

Na what Katie said.

maybe because its just not in paul mcganns doctors persona to be a warrior so he had to change to basically become another character

It might have fit the continuity better had Paul returned, seeing is he is a pre-existing Doctor. I'm sure John Hurt was cast because he's more popular.

@@ToylandChairman666 problem with paul mcgann being a time war doctor is that he himself started far and away from the kind of person that would do it. at his heart he was always the boyish adventurer that traveled the universe the way the crew of the enterprise travels the galaxy at the same time, the 9th doctor recently regenerated so he couldnt have fought the time war. so the compromise was to write the 8th doctor in more and more stories that will eventually edge him mentally and chronologically towards the time war, eventually ending in a regeneration that had to give birth to a warrior doctor. might not be perfect but at least to me its the best option for writing the doctor's character

Anthony L yup

They had to do a regeneration because they wanted Matt Smith to be the 13th Doctor so it would work with the whole Trenzalore story arc.

Actually originally Christopher eccleston was suppose to be in the special instead of John hurt, but he declined this creating the war doctor as a stand in. He only worked with it in time to give us a way to add more regenerations

Wait... DC does not like Terry McGinnis????! I thought Batman Beyond was awesome!!!

I think the fact that DC never uses Terry outside of the occasional fan service says a lot

Aside from Eccleston not having enough screen time I agree this Doctor was amazing
