Great compilation 👍👍. The inclusion of branched timelines was a pleasant (albeit mind bending) surprise to see included.
Never fails to make me chuckle that in both "timelines" the 13th Doctor is a woman! The universe really is surprising! Just brilliant.

I love how the mindbend doctors all agreed that “16th century explorer” was the ideal aesthetic

[twilliamspro]

The irony that the thirteenth Doctor in 2 timelines was a blonde Woman

[kylerees]

I personally think the Fugitive Doctor is before the Morbius Doctors because the Morbius Doctors go directly into the 1st so it just makes more sense to me

[jeremyjasiak]

I love that you made Curse of Fatal Death "Timeline 1", makes it seem like that's the prime timeline, and the whole of the new series is an offshoot😂

[mccorade]

Seeing the Doctor regenerate over and over again to Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee was something I didn't know i needed

[slateoffate]

I wonder if the Watcher was a Bigeneration. The myth had to come from somewhere.

[adisassy]

There's also a timeline or 2 where Paul McGann regerated straight into Eccleston. Off screen though so I suppose it would count in your video.

I think the post-bigeneration 14th Doctor was the one who went on to become The Curator played by Tom Baker in The Day Of The Doctor. Makes sense considering 14 decided to settle down with Donna’s family and retire while 15 went off into time and space.

One question:

3:40 ... has it ever actively been confirmed, that the Doctor's second regeneration cycle specifecly includes twelve regenerations?
When Rassilon asks the Twelfth Doctor as how many regenerations they gave him, he didn't actually answer.

(Thus, Chibnall didn't even have to do the infinite-regenerations-thing to begin with ... )

[hollymatton]

This is soo good! I have some really fond memories of all the modern doctors but I also love the classic fourth, seventh and eighth doctors too! Loved this! 😊😊

I've warmed up to the Timeless Children idea for a bit now. The addition of the Shalka Doctor in the actual show made me realise what the Toymaker meant by making a puzzle out of the Doctor's past. I think it's a way from the show to tell us that we don't have to take it for granted, and gather up the puzzle pieces we as viewers personally see fit. Like, if you don't like the Timeless Child, you can think of it as the Master's lie, and if you do, then you can add whatever you want in the mix.

My personal opinion will forever be that Hartnell was the 1st Doctor, in and out of universe. Fugitive can be from a split timeline, or between 2 and 3, I don't mind that one bit. That would require for the Meta Crisis regeneration not to count, which I see being plausible. 11 on Trenzalore realising that he couldn't regenerate, and then thinking back onto it, and coming to the conclusion that it must have been it. Or then just have the Time Lords give them an extra regeneration to hide the gap in the timeline. All goes in this puzzle.
Shalka I wanna include as well, a part of me hopes that he will be the 16th Doctor. Richard E. Grant is still in enough that he came for a photoshoot, as the picture used of him was a fresh one. But for now I think he's from the Ruth timeline.

[ThethCrashmaster]

Since we're counting the Curator, i think its fair to maybe include Dr. Moon from Silence of the Library since Russel T Davies and Steven Moffat thought of the idea. Also, as a reminder, Doctor Moon would also be the 45th doctor. 😂😅

[TheOvervoid]

Nice to see Shalka and Fatal Death get some love.

I'd love Big Finish to do something with those timelines. Maybe a continuation of Shalka and a Red Nose Day Five Doctor's parody for Fatal Death (it could also make a good TV skit too).

[drthete]

Absolutely splendid work. So much thought put into creating order out of the complexity that is the Doctor’s life.

[ThatOneIrishFurry]

This video FINALLY explained the timeless child to me in a way i could understand
Techtaeun used the timeless child to edit the genome of the Gallifreyans allowing them to have 13 incarnations

Then when the timeless child grew up into the doctor they joined the division and where Chameleon Arched from their original specied
to a Gallifreyian MEANING that the doctor we knew before the timeless child story was actually NOT reconned at all especially since the thirteenth doctor did not open the chameleon arch at the end of the story

[josephchambers]

Remember when the numbers actually had meaning…me neither.

[thomashobbes]

Thank you for including the Valeyard, he often gets overlooked. And I forgot about the Curator. 😅

[kiyru]

I love how 8 is where the regenerations get all tangled up

[bobdallas]

I wouldn't count the Tenth Doctor as 2 separate incarnations, as you yourself specified, he healed the body and stored the rest of the energy that would have changed the incarnation into his hand, but that is up to each one of us' interpretation.

Apart from that, really great video, nice that you included the other timelines as well.
