Hello and Welcome to The Whoniverse! Have you ever wanted to know everything about Doctor Who's aliens and enemies? Well you're in the right place! This channel is home to "History of Who" + news, theories, collaborations and coverage of the new 2024 season!
I've been Whotubing since 2017 and have been lucky enough to have videos featured by BBC America, worked with Maze Theory, Tiny Rebel Games and more! I've been a Doctor Who fan for as long as I can remember and am happy to welcome classic fans or new fans into the wonderful blue box show and it's universe of brilliant adventures here on The Whoniverse RU-vid Channel!
10th Doctor -"The timelords. The oldest and the most mighty race in the universe." Rassilon "A Billion years of Timelord history riding on our backs.." Since the Timeless child established the doctor, preceding the very concept of a Timelord civilisation. He's practically the oldest thing in our universe or one of them. At this point it doesn't matter anymore..
The Cybermen as created by Kit Pedlar and Gerry Davies had a simple origin. They were humanoids who replaced failing body parts with technology, eventually even replacing parts of the brain. I was terrified by them, especially when they spoke, no mouth or opening, just a gaping mouth under the cloth, no lip movements (no lips). Since then, the story has become so convoluted it seems impossible to follow. Though here we see a valiant and quite successful attempt to make sense of it. Thankfully, we only had two conflicting versions of the creation of the Daleks - both by Terry Nation (and I have always loved both equally)
Also if we do count the confession dial years as well as the Pre-Hartnell Doctors The Doctors age is at least 5.5 Billion years old which for the age of a person is a very scary number, especially considering that the Earth is only around 4.5 Billion years old making The Doctor depending on how you count it being 1 Billion years older than the Earth itself! And bear in mind that 1 Billion years at the beginning could be a very conservative estimate considering that the Doctor at least as we know them in our time has a habit of traveling for hundreds of years and then showing up a year later casually adding centuries between seasons going from 450 to 750 to 900 to 2100 in just 60 years relative to the outside Universe just imagine the cumulative effect this habit would have over the course of over a Billion years worth of history!
Question. when amy and rory got sent back in time to life out there lifes bye the Angel in the grave yard while that were living there lives could thay meat a futer docter while there growing old after the events off the graveyard scene with the 11th
I feel asking about age with a character that ages way slower than us, travels through time, with unknown amounts of time even throughout a season is kinda pointless beyond "The Doctor is VERY old, numbers are mostly meaningless"
If you count recent revelations and factor in the 6th Doctor comments about Time Lords being around 10,000,000 years, that would be a decent starting point.
My head canon is that when the Doctor gave up his name and became the War Doctor, he reset his age but then continued with that number following the time war. Given that the First Doctor died of old age at about 450, there's potential for the potion he was given on Karn to have extended his later lifespans, explaining how War could be approaching 900 and Eleventh could have lived over 1000. Which would add another thousand or so years onto the new who age. I also tend to accept that the Doctor is always using Earth terms to describe his age given that in most scenarios he would be describing it to humans. I am of course only counting the main show here, as I think there's just too much stuff in the greater expanded universe for it to be in anyway understandable. And I don't even want to try and accept the Timeless Child stuff because not even the show bothered with it, and then we're assuming that was in fact the first incarnation which was kidnapped, it's all too messy.
