The incredible thing about David Tennant and Matt Smith is that they were known for being among the most fun-loving and friendly Doctors, yet could also be the most sinister.

That line right there "you would make a good dalek" is provably the scariest line cause hes running from that truth

For me his darkest was when he sounded like The Master: " Laws of Time are mine! AND THEY WILL OBEY ME!!!"

Fear me, I've killed hundreds of Time Lord's. Doctor: Fear me, I've killed them all

The 10th Doctor was slowly turning into a villain and he chose to die still a hero

10s overall character arc of gently going insane is really potent

I saw 11 as rather intimidating when he was angry. But that paled when 10 started slipping. He wasn’t intimidating, he was utterly terrifying. That wire thin line into becoming a monster.

Doctor - “Okay dalek, defend yourself” *beats dalek with massive spanner* Dalek - “ You.. do not require tea?”

The Doctor having his darker moments is what makes Doctor Who so great for me. Makes the character more nuanced instead of being a straight up good hero.

I think David Tennant would be just as a good master as he was a good doctor

The entire Waters of Mars episode was really _really_ dark. It is one of the most memorable ones, that I still vividly remember 4 years since I’ve seen any episode.

10th almost scared me..there was this visible darkness in his eyes when he was angry Then comes 11's colonel runaway

He couldn’t put Capaldi on here because the video would’ve been 30 minutes long

The 10th Doctor showed us that his companions are the key thing that humanizes him. His solo episodes, particularily The Waters Of Mars, shows us who he his without others.

I would have included the time he let/made an entire race die because the matriarch couldn’t remember the name of one of the girls she killed. (Vampires in Venice)

The 10th doctor went through the most pain. All his companions left him, travelling alone with no one to help him hold on to his humanity, he does some pretty messed up things to inflict pain back on those that hurt him. (The Fury of the Time Lord)

Eccelston was a damn good doctor if he didn’t have creative differences with BBC it would’ve been a great run … one would say fantastic

We saw 11’s darkness more often than 10’s But somehow when 10 lost his temper you feel he’s capable of anything. He could easily be a villain. 11’s darkness to me was more akin to an angry parent. It was effective, but I knew he’d never cross the line. It feels like 10 is clinging onto the line with his fingernails.

The Waters of Mars was the darkest episode ever. For the first time ever the Doctor was putting him self before anyone

Doctors like Chris and Tennant always had this raging presence about them, then you've got doctors like Sylvester, Matt and Capaldi who could just switch between being kind hearted and crap your pants scary

10th was really dark. He was still recovering from him being “The Warrior” and then Rose happened, his hope into becoming a better men, and he lost her. That broke him, made him realize he could not save everyone (She didn’t die, of course, but she got lost in a different dimension) he went through such a hard time after that, you can see it. But then Martha came, she may have not relieve him from his pain, but she helped him with her friendship and her support. But then, Donna came into the picture, she not only made him snapped out of his bullshit angsty pity party (I know he was suffering, but still lol) and helped him become the man he was supposed to be, the man he knew he would become with Rose, the man Martha was hoping and reaching for, the man that The Doctor himself wanted to be...he was underbaked, and Donna, in Pompei, gave him a choice: because being “that man” is a choice. That is why when 12th appeared, as a warrior more than the Doctor that 9th was scared of, 10th build up and 11th almost got; that broke him again (and Clara missing 11th was the clue), he was lost until he remembered...his face, his face came from that moment in Pompei when Donna helped him make his choice of being the man he was meant to be. And he remembered, his own self gave him a post-it note on “What the Doctor is” as a new face. The face of hope.

Moffat and Davies really knew how to make the Doctors sounds dark ESPECIALLY Davies. 10's slow decent into a complete god complex is still one of my favourite things to watch from the series.

"The doctor never raises his voice" 10: "AND I'M GONNA WIN!!!!!"

The Doctor: "If you think because she is dead that I am weak, then you understand very little. If you had anything to do with killing her, and you're not afraid, then you understand nothing at all. So for your own sake, understand this: I am The Doctor. I'm coming to find you. And I will never, ever stop." The man said this line for *4.6 BILLION YEARS.*

I think that the ultimate reason the Master is(or rather continues to be) evil is not because of drums, the Eternal Death, or anything like that. I think it's because he doesn't have companions, because we all know how he and the Doctor are alike and the Doctor starts acting like the Master without a companion to ground him

"fear me I've killed hundreds of timelords" "Fear me I've killed all of them" sounds like itachi

9: war hardened and just wants to help people, but ends up realizing he's just as bad as his enemies. 10: slowly goes mad from the amount of people he's lost. Dies saving Wilf 11: Admits he's mad, puts all his efforts into making his friends happy because he knows when they leave he'll stop being the hero he is 12: questions whether he's ever actually been good. But goodness is relative, so he justifies his anger over his losses. 13: ????

To be honest, Ten scared me in the end and especially in the specials

Am I the only one who really liked the Dalek Emperor as a villain? He may have been narcissistic, but he was wise though it.

10 did a really good job of slowly coming to terms with his own death. He went through the stages of denying the destiny laid out for him, trying to become the cheater of time he could always become, but slowly coming to terms with his inevitable death.

the tenth doctor spends a lot of time clenching his teeth

Chinball needs to watch this, he isn't writing 1200 years of emotion into Jodie's incarnation and it's what is killing the show. He wouldn't know a story arc if it traveled back in time and punched him in his baby chinball face.

when the 9th Doctor happily tortured the Dalek, that's when I knew The Doctor is more than a quirky time travelling alien.

11 was dark sometimes but it was more intimidating 10 was absolutely terrifying because yes his rage and anger slipped out every once in awhile but during the 3rd season and the 4th season you can see him just slipping away. The 10th doctor is the most emotionally and mentally unstable doctor. Like most of the episodes is him just trying not to breakdown.

"I've lived too long" was really true in the sense that if he had lived longer he may have become a villain. He died to remain a hero

That Cassandra death scene is underrated. The way he says 'everything has its time and everything dies ' is why Chris Eccleston is my favourite and its a great way to introduce his more vengeful personality

In that first clip I just realized that daleks are one of the most powerful beings in the universe yet still cannot turn their head 180 degrees.

"Tough." Who knew one word could be so terrifying.

"The Timelord victorious is wrong." What an epic line.

Nothing’s darker than “Yes you can, and you will, or I will expose this tiny little street to the whole laughing world. l’ll bring UNIT, I’ll bring Zygons. Give me a minute, I’ll bring Daleks and the Cybermen. You will save Clara Oswald or I’ll rain the hell on you for the rest of your life.” “The Doctor is not here, you are stuck with me! I will end you, and everything you love.”

Nothing from Peter? Or the time when the Doctor slammed the door on Amy! Leaving her to die alone, after waiting years to be saved!? After forcing Rory to decide!

9th Doctor had his moments from going to kind to crazy 10th Doctor slowly turned into a anti-hero after losing so many people 11th Doctor turned from a goof ball to a more serious threat to every enemy after Amy died (He had his moments where he was goofy but it was less prominent) 12th Doctor was cold and calculated, he slowly lost his mind after Clara died

I always found 11's darker moments the more impactful for them being so unusual compared to his general happy demeanor. Also, it was quite frequently done in a more subtle way, and i think sometimes the better for it, than others.

This is why The Doctor needs his companions, especially Ten. Like Donna once said “Sometimes he needs someone to stop him.” I think perhaps his loneliness changes into arrogance and rage.

I loved it when Tennant said he controls the laws of times and all of that stuff. just wish they would actually do that in the show and that the Doctor would actually break the laws of time.

Don't you think she is tired? When the tenth provoke Harriet Jones is dark too

What the current Doctor is painfully missing.

“I’ve gone too far.” That really hits you. The Doctor has all this power but restrains his/her self to not miss use it. But in that moment the doctor realized that he had gone to far.

Honestly, one of his darkest moments is that "Time Lord victorious" line from the Tenth Doctor.

7th doctor comes along "why do people forget I committed genocide on skaro among many things?" in all serious though loved this good vid!

"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many." -11th Doctor.

I have a theory that the Doctor has almost a faith or belief in cosmic universal fate. He mentions multiple times that he gets no reward from the universe for what he does, that it only get's darker the more he saves it, the more he saves the more it needs saving. I feel like he believes that he's at odds with the universe, that it's a controlling force against him all the time

THE TAKE IT ALL SUN SPEACH ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY ALONG WITH THE ZYGON WAR ONE

I miss 12th Doctor's "The Doctor is no longer here, you are stuck with me!" as this really sent the Chills up and down my Spin. but it's good as it is :D

I love the moments of the show where they let the Doctor's PTSD, they show the reasoning behind how he acts and why he's so merciless in some aspects. And yet why he's so forgiving in others. His life, mind and mind has been ruined by what he's done, what he became.

11th: so how do you strive of the... Rory: boredom? 11th:... self harm Blank stares We not gonna mention THAT dark moment...?

That line in a town called mercy: all the people died because of my mercy I really liked that part too, simple line but powerful, in total 11's anger made me frightened the most

"Fear me, i've killed hundreds of time lords" "Fear me, i've killed all of them"

"The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant,"

Not including the part in 42 when he told Martha he was scared? I'd never seen him do that before- he'd *been* scared before, but he'd never admitted it like that

This is who the Doctor really is, i feel like he hides it. This is what seeps out when he starts to fall off the edge

In classic DW, it was incredibly rare for the Doctor to travel alone. So it was interesting to explore that side of the Doctor, what happens when he's alone. Ten of course experienced this the most and he was still basically dealing with the Time War. He lost three companions fairly close together and he also had some of the most complicated relationships with his companions as well. Added to that he was incredibly vain. Brilliant and he knew it. He had to be stopped.

The end of The Waters of Mars was so good, you could tell he was filled with pure rage, I really think we need more of that Doctor. Viewers need to be reminded that The Doctor isn't just any old person with a box like the 13th Doctor has become. Viewers need to be reminded that he is man to be feared, he is a Time Lord with a TARDIS and could easily use the TARDIS to wipe out all existence in the universe if he wanted.

3:50 “Everything had its time and everything dies.” I think that quote is so telling because he will NEVER die. He can NEVER die. And he knows it. He’s watched so many people and friends and enemies die that he’s accepted it. And for all he can he can never die. Even though he knows it SHOULD be life’s path.

The waters of Mars was by far the darkest episode of Doctor who (in my opinion), if I didn't have so many childhood phobias generated from that, I would totally rewatch it

The Doctor throws Kahler-Jex out of Mercy, grabs a gun, cocks the trigger and points it at him Kahler-Jex: You wouldn't... The Doctor: I genuinely don't know

The line "The fury of the Time Lord" (& that entire scene, honestly) resonated with me pretty hard. Think about it a lot while watching the show. I live for moments like the ones shown in the video, ones where the Doctor gives up on being kind and shows why people should be scared of him (this is also why I *really* didn't like Clara w/ the 12th Doctor as she made it damn near impossible for those types of situations to happen). The dude (originally) killed his entire race & its enemies by himself and can bring armies to their knees just by having a way with words. Lad's powerful and deserves mad respect.

4:36 “They all died. Do you know who that leaves? ME! It’s taken me all these years to realize the laws of time are mine. And they will OBEY ME.” I think this quote is a reflection of his desperation. He talks of how he knows the laws of life and how everyone must die. How he is the last one. He is the exception. He is trying to regain some control over the passage of time. He says he has acceptance but he uses his pain and power to constantly save people. It kills him every time he can’t. Constantly asking why they have to die, and why he doesn’t.

I found eccleston and tennant actually scary when they lose it and make threats. i couldnt believe Matt Smith though.

"you are only human" . there is like 3 occasions 11 says that (5x2, 6x7 , forgot the third one ) and i love when insults humans ,

I think when the 11th Doctor got angry and became all dark and sinister it was the scariest because he was overall so loving and childish and it contrasted greatly with his normal behaviour.

That scene with Wilfred makes me bawl every time

I love the Tenth Doctor so much, but it's really surprising and scary how he can become so utterly terrifying and that's one of the things I like about him, because it reminds me of his past and who he is. Also, his wrath is impressive...

Christopher Eccleston's Doctor telling the Dalek to kill itself is one of the darkest lines in the series.

The doctor is a man who saw pain in the universe and rather than erase it he decided to endure it for the sake of everyone else.

Who else thinks that the speech at Akaten is so emotional because he is basically living through all of his life’s all the highs all the lows and especially when he "killed" all the Timelords

3:16 the moment you remember David Tennant played barty crouch jr.

The 11th was the darkest imo he hid behind a baby face and childish actions but when 11 was angry it felt like he would burn everything and anyone, and do unspeakable things. That why Matt is so underrated he made me actually fear the Doctor, and it fit very well with the natural regeneration progression Edit: The way he switched from childish to angry and then back again was the biggest thing

7:48 I'm still convinced that this moment was actually David Tennant being mad about how HE won't be The Doctor anymore, because #10 should know that he can still regenerate, so why is he so mad about not being able to do so much more?

9 was a beast, still suffering PTSD from a war 10 thought he’d tackled his demons and didn’t realise the animal he could still become Whereas 11 knew and tried to contain it 12 made peace with and utilised it I’ve always loved this characters dark moments becuase he’s a hero but yet it feels like if he lost it we’d all be in deep shit

My favourite is not the doctor being dark... it's midnight. Showing what us humans would be like in a close situation for this!

6:29 No matter how many times I'm reminded that the line is "Fear me. I've killed all of them." I always remember the line as "Fear me. I killed the rest."

I'll use this video to describe why Tennant is my favourite doctor

I NEED dark thirteen. I NEED it like I need AIR to BREATHE

Love the irony of Devros trying to psycho-babble The Doctor by trying the "we're not so different you and I" speech. Dude, you created a race with the express purpose of killing existence down to a submolecular level, while your antagonist has been solo'ing your entire engineered species of talking wartanks for centuries. One initiated the hostile action, the other one's trying to stop it. Like saying that a parent who kills their child's murderer is as bad as the child murderer himself because they both killed.

2:10 “just ME” That quote killed me. I think this is a reflection of him realizing that one day it will be just him. No friends, no timelords, not even any enemies. Just him. Alone forever.

Out of the 33 clips in this, 10 are because of the Daleks. Just goes to show you just how much he hates those damn pepperpots

7:09 am I the only one who hears Strax giggling when the Doctor says he wants the colonel to tell his men to, “Run away.”

The 10th doctor was the one doctor not to make angry, you would not like to see him angry. The speech’s and the fear he put in his enemies

‘One thing you never ever put in a trap’ ‘And what would that be sir?’ ‘Jorah mormont’

Kinda sad you didn't include the bit after the "Colonel Runaway" speech about good men not needing rules. That was the darkest bits of his from that episode. Also the bit from the 50th anniversary where 10 and 11 go at it in the dungeon. That's a hell of a moment as well.

I'd love to see a version of 10 going over the edge and being a villain

4:50 10 is starting to sound like the master

I killed all of em.... Chills

tha absolute anguish in the "I CAN DO ANYTHING" when he's trying to save Astrid kills me EVERY time

No 12th doctor scenes, he had like the most. Like when he threatened to end that woman from game of thrones

The 10th Doctor’s freak out before he regenerates gets me every time. He tried to save everyone and help the universe but he still lost everything. Then when he says “I don’t wanna go” before he changes, it really hits me in the feels. He could’ve done a lot more and really changed for the better.

I think that with a future Doctor, David Tennant should be the Master. John Simm's Master remembering the 10th Doctor and making it his next face.

To be fair, most of the times in this video he wasn't dark, just very emotional. He was really dark in the waters of mars, i think darker than ever before and after...

The dark moments was what made doctor who great
