The canon is bigger on the inside. 😂

When 11 visits the Museum and meets with the Curator, its heavily implied that they are in the Curator's TARDIS (the round things!!!!)

When you said you had a BIG project in the making I never thought it would be this good. However this is incredible well done George

Pretty sure curse of fatal death is more canon than anything we've seen on screen. Who wouldn't want Mr. Bean as the the doctor?

I sorta like to think that the memory of the name ‘The Doctor’ somehow stayed in their mind as their memories were wiped and they were forced to regenerate into the 1st Doctor. They always had that name in their head, even if they didn’t know why, and it stayed with them. That would explain why Ruth falls herself ‘The Doctor’, and also how the 1st Doctor chose the name.

You actually helped me at least to tolerate the timeless children arc. I just couldn't wrap my head around it without thinking of all the contradictions. But this actually makes sense. Thank you so much!

I like the idea that the Master could have used the Moment to destroy Gallifrey. I imagine the Moment trying the same trick that it used with the Doctor, maybe reuniting him with previous or future versions of himself (even Missy so she could try to dissuade him after her change of heart), but with his very different way of thinking, it didn't work and he activated the weapon. That could be an interesting story.

Even though I don't like the timeless children canon change, I still enjoyed the video. Keep it up!

Id actually love it if The Curator was literally just the next doctor, and we got another series with Tom Baker

I really like how you made a plotline with a bunch of plot holes and filled in every single one.

Doctor Who and canon are like when you place two magnets at the same end together. They just force each other apart. Imagine this, the child comes from the parallel world where Gallifrey was stored at the end of Day of the Doctor. Paradoxes!

I have a theory that, when the last Foundling became what I would assume to be the First Doctor as a baby, his memories were completely wiped but something remained. The memories were gone but the dislike for Gallifrey that the Foundlings might have gained in their years and years of being used in experiments and being in the division might have passes over to the First Doctor, which would explain why the person that used to be the Foundling just so happened to become someone as important as the Doctor after they had their mind wiped and grew up and it might explain why the Doctor chose the same Tardis that he had as Ruth. TL;DR The Doctor might have retained some subconscious feelings towards Gallifrey that they had before their mind was wiped as well as an attraction towards a certain Type 40 Tardis. :)

I was really mad at The Timeless Children because I felt it broke the canon. There were so many plot holes left in it's wake. But this video made me feel better because it gives a valid explanation for those plot holes.

Your timeline is amazing! Outstanding work! Unfortunately, I absolutely loath what Chris Chibnall did with the series, so my own timeline starts with "An Unearthly Child" and ends with "Resolution of the Daleks". No Tectune, No timeless child, no mind wipes, no previous incarnations of The Doctor. But again, you did amazing work here!

This is the first time that the content creator telling me to subscribe has actually worked. Congrats. Ya got me

Despite my huge dislike of the Doctor being the Timeless Child, this is a really incredible and detail video and I'm looking forward to see other videos like this in the near future. Maybe a Complete History of the Master? Anyway, well done Ace Creeper.

This was pretty well made and I love how you’re being open minded about the timeless child stuff. Imo I think the Master’s lying and he’s the timeless child but either I’m glad you’re trying to be be positive unlike 90% of the other Doctor Who youtubers who basically want the show to end but fail to realize without the show their out of job

This is incredible! You must of spent so much time researching for this. Enjoyed every second of it :)

This was absolutely brilliant Ace! I really loved this! One of my favourite videos you’ve ever done, which I’ve honestly... got to give credit for! Also, YES! Please do more of these! Honestly, this was brilliant and I can’t praise it enough! Keep up the awesome work that your doing, this was truly amazing!!

I think it would be interesting for, after the timeless child arc (Inward sigh) the Doctor uses regeneration energy carelessly, healing friends as seen in "The Angels Take Manhatten" and/or shooting regeneration energy laser beams as seen in "The Time of the Doctor" only for it to be revealed that somehow the doctor isn't the timeless child and she's wasted all her regenerations leading to a story arc where the Doctor is over careful and extremely paranoid due to going from feeling like she's completely immortal to being as vulnerable as the people she's trying to protect culminating at a choice where the Doctor has to risk her life and save some people or not and let them die or something.

This is probably my favourite video of yours. Its absolutely stunning. 👏👏

The Doctor remembers choosing his name so it has to be the first Doctor Who first used the name. Also the TARDIS first became a police box in an unearthly child. So Ruth definitely is not pre-Hartnell!

I should point out, In An Unearthly Child it's referenced the Doctor's TARDIS did change its appearance a couple times, and in the Big Finish audio story "The Beginning" we actually see the TARDIS change twice, from a bolder to a large mushroom thingy. Ergo, do you think there's a reason if that's the case where the circuit was broken and it would end up back as a police box, even though it worked a couple times?

This is absolutely incredible Ace! I honestly felt like I was just watching a full BBC documentary about the show! Just perfect! Thank you so much! 🎉🙌

This video just exceeded my expectations! Congratulations on your brilliant work and I really hope that your channel grows more and more because it really deserves it.

I finally found time to watch this, and it was great! It's very clear that a LOT of work went into making this video what it is, and I look forward to any future projects you find yourself doing later down the line. :)

Brilliant Video! I can hardly imagine how much work must have went into this, absolutely amazing stuff! :)

This was done brilliantly. Excellent work here ace.

In my mind the whole timeless child thing is a vision from a parallel universe.

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for making this. I like how your explanation fits in with "The Cartmel masterplan" and explains the hints of the Seventh doctor being The Other.

I like to think Tecteun is Rassilon as a lot of expanded media states he created regeneration. His timeline is a bit all over the place. If only we got to see more and learn more about the Fugitive Doctor. Really it's the TARDIS that makes it hard to place her.

This was fantastic! Thank you. Love that you even managed a reasonable head cannon reason for how a pre-Hartnell Ruth Doctor has the police call box Tardis 🙂

My bloody god, This is OUTSTANDING!!! A very detailed explanation, and you made everything make sense! Love it!

This video has redeemed the 'Timeless Children' arc for me. It shouldn't be the job of a content creator to make sense of the show in this way, but you've done one hell of a job here!

10:02, I don’t think they ever said the Chameleon circuit was actually broken (nor do we actually see the Police box exterior outside of Earth). My theory is that the Fugitive Doctor might have just hid on Earth in the late 60’s/early 70’s and the TARDIS disguised itself accordingly

This actually made me interested in the Foundling Era, despite hating the Timeless Child plot. It could have been such an interesting story arc to explore had it been executed differently.

Fantastic video, great to see the Doctor's timeline broken down into one video :)

A+++ for effort, man! I give you a standing ovation for even attempting it!

I wanna say your explanation on why to subscribe was the single most effective bit I've personally experienced on KZfaq as to why to subscribe - went from listening to this while fixing a meal to putting that on pause to walk over and subscribe. Well done, carry on. Can't wait to hear this full timeline.

I'm guenuenly devastated that you forgot to cover the Abzorbalof and that you completely forgot about Benni

Regardless on how we view the show and its continuity, you have delivered such an incredible insight. There is one thing that I would like to suggest, however. Remember the "too scary" face of Tony Halfpenny, from the original title sequence screen test? I believe he might as well be the very first incarnation prior to becoming the Foundling.

Expertly done, and the music choices were perfection.

I feel like people didn’t like the Timeless Child twist because they were forced to swallow a massive amount of lore for the first time. Meanwhile, extended universe fans could care less, as they know that’s just the tip of the iceberg and there’s a whole lot more confusing shit surrounding The Doctor.

There is one version of the Doctor you left out, when 6 is one trial you find out at the end that the Valyard (Sp?) is supposedly the his last incarnation. But I guess that got swept under the rug with the whole Endless Child thing. I just remember 6 looking at him at the end of the trial after the reveal and saying something along the line of "well one of us had to go wrong" not the exact line but you get the idea. I'm still up in the air about the way they have changed things but not going to stop watching, I started with Pertwee back in the 70's. However your doing a great job, really enjoy it!

I was really excited about this and I really really enjoyed it! Would you do similar (albeit probably shorter) videos to this for characters like the Daleks, the Master and River Song?

I've been looking forward to watching this all weekend

Not sure if i’m tripping but starting at those lines on the screen, and then looking away produces one of those eye-trippy effects you get from normally looking at spiral visuals.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve have eagerly waiting for this video all week

I don't know why but when you mentioned Dimensions in Time as being part of the Doctor's (canon) life, it just brought the biggest smile onto my face

Really good video, amazing editing. One of my favourite videos on the whole of KZfaq.

This was freaking excellent. Holy heck. Top job lad!

ahhh this is so well done, the amount of depth you went to is incredible. the visuals are amazing and you've really cleared up a lot of misunderstandings within the dw fandom. i think this should be anyone's go to video for the history of the doctor because you've done such a good job with this

the amount of times you say "post division" is a thing. but all in all, great video.

Amazing work mate

This was an awesome video. Your hard work birthed a very interesting look into a character who after this video I feel is one of the best fictional characters ever and is easily on par with other legendary figures such as Spiderman, Superman etc. Great Job!

Thanks for this. I’ve been following Doctor Who since the 70’s and it really drew me in. My favorite Doctor/Companion combination was Tom Baker and Liz Sladen, in New Who it’s a much harder call but Peter Capaldi/Clara is certainly high up there. I missed a lot of Who while I was away at college and there are some things that never quite came together for me. Until now. So thank you for that. My biggest problem with modern who is how long we have to wait between series. Very frustrating and I’m thinking that the move to fewer hour long episodes was probably a mistake; too hard for the writers to get the pacing right. I am a fan of Jodie Whittaker as the doctor but wish she had better scripts. I think much of the problem with current scrips is that the longer format drags a bit. Anyway enough election impacted whining, I clearly need more sleep. Thanks again.

This is an amazing piece of work. It's great fun. I can, broadly, follow your reasoning for most of this, but do have a few points where my interpretation differs. First, the limitation of regeneration to 12. Rather than the limit being 12 because "living forever would just be wrong", I think that the limit is 12 so that the founding Tectuan could hold onto some degree of power. Second; as for Brendan, I do not see Brendan as an incarnation in the foundling era. Brendan is a false memory, deeply implanted, that can help the doctor realise their greater history. It is a tale of metaphor. The Doctor is someone who always strives to do the right thing (even if it doesn't always go to plan and is often very difficult to identify), just as an idealised police officer should. So, as the pocket watch and the fire alarm are triggers for the chameleon arch to re-set the Doctor, the Brendan memory supports the Doctor in resetting aspects of their memory. Finally, the Tardis. Don't forget the Tardis 'chose' the Doctor. The Police Box is an extension of the Brendan metaphor, but a trans-dimensional one. Yes the chameleon circuit is broke, but it is either 1) always being sabotaged by the Tardis to sustain the link to the Doctor's greater history or 2) always sabotaged (unconsciously) by the Doctor because of the deeply implanted false memory - for the same reason, or 3) both of these. There is a symbiotic relationship between the Doctor and THIS Tardis, so it sustains itself as part of the implanted metaphoric memory, whilst also maintaining the myth that it is ONLY because the chameleon circuit is broken. Hey, other than that - I'm with you. Again, I think you've done an utterly amazing job. Love it. :-D

i discovered dr who during a recovery from surgery last week on pluto tv. i watched a few episodes and now discovered this video..... the amount of history needed to fully understand this is too great. your video helps, but its crazy complicated.

Your 15 seconds got me subscribed (first video i watch) well done 🙂

amazing vid

Peter Cushing's Doctor is a human inventor who invented the TARDIS not a time lord or wanderer of the fourth dimension. Making the Peter Cushing films the black sheep of the Doctor Who series.

Stumbled on this video and enjoyed it. So I subscribed.

This is amazing! Well done you have made such a high quality video. Just well done!!!! It was such a great video! 💙💙

Is it just me or does your eyes go funny when u stare at the blue TV lines showing the show?

I do think we need an explanation as to why Jo Martin's Tardis is a police box in the show. I hope we see her again next season and find out more about her. I do like your explaination in this, and where you've placed her in the timeline. I still think she's between the second and third Doctor, with the Division taking the second Doctor before he regenerates and sending him out on missions. Eventually he dies and regenerates into her. Then at some point they wipe her mind again, forcefully regenerating her into Pertwee. That's just what makes most sense to me.

Extremely good research and amazing quality! And as you said, canon is subjective :)

Brilliant video ma dude, this came out really well!

Thinking about it, when the Foundling's memory and biology were rewritten, that was the proper birth of the person of the doctor. Sort of a completely new person, with no trace of similiar DNA, personality or memory. That would mean it's a completely different person. Or is that just me reading into it a bit much?

This was a fantastic video Ace! It even cleared up a lot of confusion I had over the timeless children revelation. BTW keep up the good work.

I love how you edited the ending hahaha You've earned a new subscriber !!

this is top class! better than most documentaries out there

I feel like one of the only people who doesn’t mind the whole ‘Timeless Child’ reveal. Like, come on, it’s not that bad.

Well done. I enjoyed this. I would enjoy a River Song/Melody Pond Timeline. Interested to see if you spotted the template characters from a Doctor canon story that spawned Amy and Rory. If so that’s awesome and we can share theory’s and thoughts.

your 15 seconds actulaly got me to subscribe!

Wow! Incredible! This video is absolutely fantastic! Just Brilliant! Amazing job. I can’t wait to see more.

What a quality vid. Theres no such thing as skipping to the highlights when every second is this good. I wish I was this good

WOAH!!! That was EPIC! :O This could easily be an official BBC release. So well researched and presented. This has definitely filled in the gaps (especially the repair shop part [GENIUS!]). An astounding video! Awesome work :D

Great video Ace!

Amazing job Ace keep it up and the timeless child stuff isnt 2 bad it makes the doctor alot more mysterious but hopefully Chris finish off well

HERE. WE. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The timeless child makes more sense as the master than the doctor.

Okay! Okay! I subscribed! Your enthusiasm was catchy!

I needed this for my boring commute.

Check Out the Follow Up to this! The Complete History of the Master! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qd1jl6meqMXaZYk.html EDIT: The Segment regarding the Valeyard was unfortunately copyrighted and had to be snipped. So to supplement that, here's the script extract for that: "The Watcher being one of them, another being the Valeyard. We didn’t mention the Valeyard previously as, despite his various appearances in the Trial of the 6th Doctor, his existence as an incarnation of the Doctor is left somewhat vague. A version made up of the Doctor’s darker side, set between his 12th and Final Incarnation. However, this could be MANY MANY years away. The Valeyard has not yet appeared and continues to be on fan’s minds… and probably will as long as the show keeps going." Hey Everyone! Thanks so much for the support, love and friendly discussions in the comments and general online response to this video! It really makes it worth it, making content like this to see how many of you genuinely enjoyed it!!

Please make the complete history of River Song, these types of videos are amazing

Fantastic video! Properly superb stuff

I love how you say that at the end about Tennant having 2 incarnations and now he has 3 LMAO

If it comes down to that Ruth is Pre-Hartnell then I'm truly done with this show. That's just a big ole middle finger to the man who wore the title and was the reason the show got so popular in the first place. He's the First Doctor, he'll always be the First Doctor and there never has been and will be another Doctor to take his place as the First and Original Doctor.

If the valyard can mess with dreams, could he possibly be the dream lord from series 5?

I love your videos and I'm subscribed

loved the video ace

Great job mate, would love to see a history of river song. Find her such an interesting character in Doctor Who.

Is it actually canon that Ruth is pre-hartnell? I think she’s between throughton and pertwee. Love the video, though, and loved the Frobisher reference 😂

Great job!

You’ve helped me with the Timeless Child arc. Thank you. 💙💙

We can't be sure that The Ruth(less) Doctor is before Hartnell... Personally I still think she's going to end up as an incarnation between Throughton and Pertwee or some even weirder stuff.

Great video however i still think the doctor won’t end up being the timeless child, i think it will be revealed that the master either misunderstood or lied, and as for Doctor Ruth, in episode 5 she had no idea who the 13th doctor was and then in the matrix she knew everything about the doctor pretty much so i think she is either an amalgamation of the doctors fighting side or a future doctor

Pretty impressive. Deep fake says hi. And very well done.

This video was epic. Well done.

This my whole theory. Tectuen is the Other or the parental figure of the Other/Timeless Child. The Other is one of the three founding Fathers of Galifrey, alongside Rassilon and Omega. In the end of the Timeless Child's life, he began to gain more and more power in Galifrey and was powerful. Rassilon and Omega devised a plan to stop him. When they did, they didn't kill him, but turned him into a child, with a restriction of 12 regenerations, just like any other Timelord, and no memory of what happened previously. This is where Hartnell's Doctor is born. This is the Doctor to make the promise. Him making this promise has nothing to do with him being the Timeless Child. He's not more or less important because of it. If anything, he is the complete opposite of the Timeless Child. I feel the Ruth Doctor is actually a Doctor between 2 and 3. And extra regeneration given to the Doctor by the Timelords to help them out. However, when this Doctor discovers their plan to wipe her mind after her task is complete, so she runs away with her companion, using the Chameleon Arch, hoping she can escape. This is where she runs into the 13th Doctor. Eventually the Timelords find her and wipe her mind, make her regenerate and ground her on Earth in 1970, as the 3rd Doctor. The Doctor's regeneration cycle continues as normal, and he has no memory of the Ruth Doctor. This is explains why Ruth already has the TARDIS, is called the Doctor and and is aware of the Sonic. PS - This was created by someone who doesn't like the Timeless Child idea, with the influence of a collection of theories.
