Crazy how the 2nd Doctor regenerated so hard that the world gained color

[lulu]

I am shocked the story of Doctor Moon completely escaped me. I’ve watched Riversong’s story arc so many times and that never occurred to me.

OMG it just dawned on me… the Curator is a retired Doctor that’s done adventuring. 14 being worn out and needing to chill, now living with Donna. 14 BECOMES THE CURATOR 😭😭

[maldaror]

Sacha Dhawan got a mention but does deserver his own title, he was the Doctor for a hot minute.

[Logotu]

Don’t forget Merlin is an incarnation of the Doctor as seen in Battlefield! (Coincidentally, in legend Merlin is half human on his mother’s side!)

"you didn't expect that one did you" he is in the thumbnail

[ofskittlez]

I love how care-free the 15th Doctor seems. I like to say, he left his trauma at Donna's house.

[AChandle]

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention about how Capaldi's Doctor was having issues with his face, until he remembered that it was his 10th incarnation who saved the man and his family, from Pompeii who he would end up looking like.
Also of note is the 10th DOctor is also the most unforgiving Doctor, to where he punished each member of the Family of Blood.

4:10 the Morbius Doctors are only notorious in retrospect. I watched the episode at the time of transmission, and I and my fellow Doctor Who fans at home and at school found the idea of pre-Hartnell Doctors incredibly exciting.

You forgot about the Richard e grant version of 9th doctor for early 2000's web cartoons made by bbc

[josephcooter]

This just in. Breaking News Tecteun has been named Galifrey's Mother of the Year.

I know they're very much not canon, but a fun coda to this episode could perhaps include Rowan Atkinson, Joanna Lumley, Peter Cushing, and Richard E. Grant, if for no other reason than they're such brilliant performers in their own way that have touched the fandom . Maybe a Top 10 non-Doctor canon Doctors? I remember my mind being blown when I found out quite late in my own fandom that Grand Moff Tarkin had once played the Doctor, even if the films were money grabs and not exactly great examples of storytelling. I felt as though my little nerd mind had been blown to smithereens.

The Sixth Doctor's regeneration was so bad that the BBC greenlit Big Finish to retcon it.

Still dealing with the loss of Lynda (with a Y)

I think the choices in this video were good as defined: Doctors who exist in-universe. A great companion video will be actors-based, covering all the obvious inclusions (Five Doctors, Twice Upon A Time), as well as the less obvious ones (stunt doubles in the original production, stunt doubles in the Blu-rays like Logopolis). Then you’ve got Ty Tennant (being another “First Doctor” presumably), Peter Cushing (ditto?) and all the comedy doctors outside of canon — if you list the Curse of Fatal Death, where does it end? Anyone who impersonated Tom Baker with a scarf in a TV sketch? Voice actors impersonating for computer games? Those rotating heads in Dimensions in Time? Well if we cut out comedy sketches what if we include charity specials: Then one inclusion I just rediscovered yesterday is Arabella Weir, who around the 40th anniversary (2003) played “the first female Doctor” on audio. I guess diving into Big Finish is necessary.

The best source of information on this is a Doctor Who Magazine article a few years ago, and it lists “actors who played the Doctor” with a score for how official their contribution was. Obviously Tom Baker, David Tenannt and so on get full points.

The way I headcanon the Vaelyard is actually due to Matt Smith's original 11th Doctor that still exists OUTSIDE of the Universe. See, when he restarted the Universe, The Doctor that appeared in THAT Universe was THAT Universe's Doctor, the one Amy "recreated" because she remembered him. She was able to remember into existence, not pull from outside. That leaves the previous one outside, forgotten. The Doctor, always afraid of death, yet also seeing the bad parts of his personality growing in his isolation (plus dealing with all his guilt as he'd not helped the War Doctor in this timeline), would experiment to separate those feelings, unknowingly creating The Valeyard.

We could even suggest that what the 14th Doctor did at the edge of the universe was what allowed the Valeyard back in. Also possible even the previous 11th Doctor squeezed back in, who, through experimentation may not have been able to fully regenerate, but had reverse-engineered Degeneration, eventually becoming the Curator.

I am SO excited for this new era. LOVE Dr Who. The Doctor Moon story was FANTASTIC! and I SO want to see more of him now that we all know!

[carld]

There are others you could have discussed as well... The movie Doctor, played by Peter Cushing, from the 60s films. Also, Rowan Atkinson (and others), from The Curse of the Fatal Death.

[elzoof]

I still think they missed a trick not calling the Fugitive the Ruthless Doctor.

[leeci]

Omg. You said “the toymaker” and I immediately in my head heard “ha ha ha Ha Ha ha ha” 👀
