The Fifth Doctor regenerates except the year is 2010

Seeing as the Doctor Who production team seem to have retconned the appearance of regeneration energy all the way back to the Hartnell era, one wonders what past regenerations are supposed to have 'really looked like' through the New Who lens.

The 'Next time' trailer is for The Two Doctors instead of The Twin Dilemma because in an earlier version of the video, the Next Time trailer was for a 6 & Tegan episode that used footage from A Fix With Sontarans and The Two Doctors. However, once I dropped the Tegan part, it became just The Two Doctors. You can always imagine it to be a Season 22 trailer (mid-way through filming so they only had footage from one serial) if you don't like the idea.

Episodes used:

Shada
Logopolis
Castrovalva
Black Orchid
Earthshock
Time Flight
Arc of Infinity
Mawdryn Undead
The Five Doctors
Planet of Fire
The Caves of Androzani
Circular Time
The Twin Dilemma
The Two Doctors
Mindwarp
Destiny of the Doctors
The End of Time Part 2

21st century regenerations require the standard time lord health and safety T-position

Dude I cannot wait until the next season of Doctor Who, The 6th Doctor looks so cool.

MAN, THAT MASHUP OF THE TENNANT THEME WITH COLIN'S
PERFECTION

I was half expecting the hatstand to fall over like the coral TARDIS pieces

"adric...?"

oh god, i think that's a worst feeling to my two hearts than "i don't want to go" ever was

SOMEONE, PLEASE, SEND THIS TO PETER DAVISON!

Amazing editing on this, looks very official. Would love to see this style of regeneration but for the 6th Doctor.

With today's CGI, most any Doctor can become any other Doctor, if one has the time, programs and capacity. This actually looks pretty good.

oh boy just you wait 6.

I like how the pre-Regeneration energy starts affecting the Doctor's hair before the actual regeneration. ;)

Brilliant! Always lovely to see Classic Doctors with a modern twist. Wonder if you'd care to do the reverse? It'd be fun to see David Tennant (for example) regenerating with his companions swirling around him with reminders of his time, the Master laughing all the while. Great stuff. Especially the "Next Time" bit. Just the right amount.

I love the editing and the close-up morph between 5 and 6! Really gives a modern 'what if DW had a bigger budget then' feel. The final line of "Adric?" also gave an emotional feel close to "I don't wanna go". Really nicely done! Awesome Next Time trailer, perfectly timed to the middle 8 and Simon's great remix!

He t-posed to assert his dominance on the time lords.

WOW The original was great but WOW 5th gets a new regeneration just like the newbies, with the yellow flames n' all . Great work especially the facial transformation

Well done! Now see if you can give Colin Baker a PROPER send-off! :-)

Amazing! If any classic Doctor deserved a 2010 style regeneration, it wa Five, given how amazing Caves of Androzani is as a regeneration story. I'd love to see your take on an updated regeneration for all of the classic Doctors.

[Merganman]

This is. . .beyond brilliant. I have no idea how you did this but it's incredible. Hopefully the show itself might be able to use similar techniques in future anniversary specials, imagine what could be achieved.

When he says adric he feels the guilt beacuase he didn't save him in time

This is probably one of the best edits I've seen. Absolutely masterful work!
