Truett Edgell Susan Foreman still lives there.

Yeah, that's always been my favourite bit of this saddest regeneration. That line and Sarah's "please, don't die" are always heartbreaking.

He saw Earth as a prison because he was exiled there. After the exile was lifted he could regard it as home.

"You walk our earth, you breathe our air, that makes this your planet too."

@@thedavecorp I hate that the Brigadier didn't make it to the reboot, he was such an outstanding actor. It's interesting that they felt the need to have a Lethbridge Stewart on thevñnn

New Who is such crap. This Classic Who is terrific.

@@fjccommish ok my guy.....that's subjectivity not objectivity. It is also possible to praise one thing without tarnishing the other

@@notyouraveragegamergirl552 I agree. However, in this case, "the other" is garbage. It's not subjective. Most Who fans recognize that the current Who is garbage. That's where New Who led.

Oh, I'm not crying or anything after reading your comment...

@@fjccommish No I'm pretty sure it is subjective- You are currently stating an opinion after all

According to the New Adventures book "Love and War", the TARDIS wandered through the Time Vortex for a *decade* while the Doctor slowly died of radiation poisoning in great agony and unable to even reach the console. Not a comfortable way to go.

@@icemachine79 Sarah Jane said he was gone for 3 weeks that’s no where near a decade so the books are just BSing

@@CrazyHorseTheSiouxW4rrior Huh? The TARDIS travels through time. In "Colony in Space" the Doctor and Jo leave the Brigadier in mid-sentence, spend at least several days in another galaxy, and return just as the Brigadier finishes.

@@CrazyHorseTheSiouxW4rrior Time is relative. 3 weeks for Sarah Jane could be decades for the Doctor in the TARDIS.

More of a call back I'd say, doubt they planned that from the beginning.

Seems they fall out of the tardis quite often.. :)

Does that mean he the 3rd cheated a bit. Pertwee got to be the doctor longer, why couldn't troughton fall out the tardis and mumble a bit then have a sleep and then regenerate.

Ross Delain Cause they didn’t have the Third Doctor casted yet. Patrick was very strict with only staying for three seasons. That’s why his regeneration was on a cliff hanger.

@@androzani He was cast. The reason they didn't show the transition to Pertwee was because they wanted to air the entirety of the Third Doctor's era in colour. If they had filmed Patrick Troughton to Jon Pertwee in the War Games then it would be weird since it was in Black and White

me too :D

That's what i said when the new console war started

Same!

That same line was uttered when Peter Capaldi's Doctor was recovering from his regeneration. They always pay tribute to the past. Glad to see that. Cheers.

Ditto!!!

Great thing is Liz and Tom gelled very well and became great friends on and off screen. Liz made Tom feel very welcomed right away and calmed Tom's fears. They both came from Liverpool and shared the same sense of humor. They even came up with there own lines and bits for the show.

That's really & truly sad.

@@colinmcphan Really now? So is every British celebrity from Liverpool?

@@commenterjosh2428 Why did you get sarcastic towards me. Read my comment again! I simply said Tom & Liz were from Liverpool. That's a fact! I never said "Every British celebrity was from Liverpool"!

@@colinmcphan r/woooosh

nepomusik I think the 2nd Doctor's era is even more subtle.

@@TRANZEURO this isn't sad.

@MorganBG I actually prefer him over four

@MorganBG i just finished this episode , i knew he was gonna die obviously but taking it in the face like that ... damn... it's hard

If anything the lack of instrumentation makes the regeneration more painful, there’s no vale decem, there’s no long song, nothing to keep our spirits up, just a quiet almost human like death

New Who is garbage, however.

​@@fjccommish 4th doctor is garbage????

@@pearadiss No. New Who is garbage. Only the 12th Doctor was a Classic Who quality Doctor. His stories, however, were WOKE garbage.

@@fjccommish okay i guess

​@@fjccommishjust came back after just finishing series 6, i easily disagree. the only thing that i expect would be bad is the chibnall era. other than that, the stuff before the era is far from garbage, atleast what i think so far

What’s better, that line was said by the witch in “The Daemon’s”, someone the Doctor had been dismissive of for her human superstitions.

TheBrokenMadMan sarah jones died?

thewewguy8t88 Yes. Elisabeth Sladen died of cancer several years ago.

+kjnohr Really sad when you think that Tom and Liz were going to be re-united in "The Sarah Jane Adventures".

But Jon went mostly with Jo. Sometimes with Sarah or Liz, but mostly Jo, and that's the most famous duo during his run.

Linda Taylor Also in Big Finish, she would have done those with Tom had she not left us so suddenly.

Brad Jacobs not again!

I love the Brigadier XD But seriously, one of the most heartbreaking regeneration scenes in Doctor Who history

And then, GTA San Andreas stole that line.

This was a very good regeneration scene and sad and Tom's regeneration scene was heartbreaking.

Also, the fact he dies before finishing his last words adds a lot to the scene

"While there's life, there's.........."

It's the only one where the incumbent Doctor actually seems to just die in front of his companions. The regeneration doesn't start until the 'push' by the Abbot, so it really feels like a death (Sylvester McCoy's does too, but he dies away from anyone who knew him). The two lines "The Tardis brought me HOME" and Sarah's "Please, don't die" are both heartbreaking to me.

Saddest part was Pertwee acknowledging his mistakes having to die as a result "is there no other way".

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think they worked better together. With Tom, Sarah just seemed to become more damselfied.

This regeneration is devastating

docdave15 and may he rest in peace.

Is it me, or did that sound a little sarcastic? In fact, I think the Brigadier inspired The Ninth Doctor's snarkiness.

Who? The Doctor or the Brigadier?

@@commenterjosh2428 the doctor, look at the corner of his eye!

I just saw it

*chops brick*

Skips rope with someone else in perfect time!

Mother mother i feel sick send for the doctor quick quick quick

I love that four genuinely thought that would show how well he was, when actually it showed the exact opposite, and simultaneously showed how alien this doctor would be

*hope...*

amen!

All the Doctor's incarnations' first scenes were like that. It was as though they were high, if I'm going to be honest.

@@DoctorWhoKage High on regeneration energy

3rd doctor: "A tear, Sarah Jane? No No don't cry, While there's life there's" 10th doctor: "I don't wanna go" Huge difference

I personally quite like the yellow light, thank you very much.

@@commenterjosh2428 They go too overboard with it, quite frankly.

+Kartik Saraf Yeah not really into Tom Baker, but I love Stewart's line. Here We Go Again.

+Don McCullen Respect Jon Pertwee and like some of his episodes but Tom Baker was brilliant and after seeing all the Doctors in multiple episodes the last few years there is know way I cannot be into Tom! I Cannot diss Jon or Tom. God bless.

Tom is my favorite Doctor now when it comes to Classic or New Who after seeing multiple episodes of all the Doctors. But I like Jon Pertwee and have enjoyed some of his episodes. Nothing but respect for him. As far as Tom goas so many great story's, iconic voice and so natural and believable as the Doctor. God bless.

I am not dissing Tom, but at the same time he was overrated a bit. He was the first Doctor Who America got to know.

+Don McCullen That's just your opinion just like my opinion is that Tom deserves all the praise and recognition he has received for his brilliant portrayal of the Doctor. Also Tom's continued popularity in the role in America has nothing to do with his being shown first in America because he wasn't. PBS first ran the show in 70's with Pertwee but it didn't catch on. If you don' believe me check with PBS. Plus PBS showed several or more of the Classic Doctors thru out the 80's & early 90's. Both men are talented and I would never call Jon or Tom overrated. Plus saying someone is dumb enough to simply base who they like on who they saw first is not fair to the fans and not true of a lot of us. I saw New Who and the New series Doctor's first for the most part since I had only ever seen one or two episodes of the Classic series before last year. Tom will never be overrated, in my opinion, and neither will Jon. I appreciate what they both brought to the role even though Tom's my favorite. God bless.

I didn't like it when she said it, because she hadn't experienced it another Doctor before, so the line doesn't make sense.

As far as we know at least. Of course the usage could just not be the exact same as Stewart.

Aeterna Umbra Vastra knew about Time Lords though from what the Doctor told her, based on their discussion about whether Melody could be part Time Lord and could regenerate (A Good Man Goes To War)

+1xxTheGamerProX1 It still doesn't make sense as she said here were go again. She had only seen two incarnations of the doctor, so their was no other time thst she could refer to as again

As far as we know, at least.

Matt Smith's regeneration was a little different, to be fair.

To be honest, when I first saw 9th Doctor's regeneration, I assumed it looked like that because there was still some Time Vortex energy left in him and he was expelling it from his body... You know, since they used exactly the same effect for Rose looking into the heart of the TARDIS and the Doctor regenerating... And I think I've read somewhere that that was also the idea behind it. But then they did it again for 10th Doctor and we kind of got stuck with it. My theory is that they wanted to do the fake-out regeneration in Stolen Earth, but couldn't make it look different than 9th's regen because then nobody would understand what it means and the cliffhanger would make no sense. So they used the same effect again. And then they had to use it ever since to remain constant.

The revived series is rather in your face with the effects and emotional scenes I find.

The Doctor's head explodes and up pops the new one or something along those lines. Don't todays' kids deserve a bit better. It's like we are afraid to challenge their minds.

turbokid991 Obviously. It was meant to be ironic. There's no life left in him, so his words of comfort actually convey that there isn't hope.

turbokid991 i thought it was more like, while this life ends another starts

as the twelfth doctor is dying and about to begin his regeneration, his companion, bill, starts crying. he tells her, "where there's tears, there's hope." it made me think of this scene.

the longest serving character played by the same actor, 40 years 1968 to 2008, INCLUDING a story in the 90's no other character can match this!!!!

I want all his other self to find out 10s i dont want to go crap and kick his ass lol

I'll dispute that one, Tom Baker was mine, but Jon was the first one I ever saw

He made the role his own.

When there's life there's,

well the brig worked with three versions of the doctor and had met all 7 of the classic doctors and if you count big finish 8 as well. NO other companion can say this! (and if you count cyberbrig 12!)

I do hope you are trying to be funny

Whilst one died. :(

from my point of veiw, yes, the entrance of the legend!

I mean it sure is the greatest in terms of sheer size, holy shit did Baker get a lot of episodes.

@@costelinha1867 The size, the quality of the writing and Baker himself.
