ALL The Doctor's Regenerations (1963 - 2013) | Doctor Who | BBC 

Well he had just regenerated on top of the clock tower. He had essentially regenerated all the way, but was just holding the body change back to give Clara time to see him once more. Once he stopped holding it back, he just snapped right into the new body.

Tennant also was holding back from dying so he could see everyone he knew before he went then it blew up on him

He hadnt just taken it in, he went and saw everyone off first, saved sarah jones kid from a car, knocked out a sontaran to save mickey and martha, passed a winning lottery ticket to donna, plus other goodbyes and only then did he let the radiation kill him

MrJCTrix that and he also prevented himself from regenerateing which I believe made his true regeneration so strong

Smiths regeneration was a nuke that destroyed a whole city

Ben O'Connor That's CGI for you.

Ben O'Connor Troughton wasn't lying down.

Troughton was an interesting case; from what I heard, the Third Doctor hadn't been cast yet.

Pat Troughton's Doctor is an interesting Doctor. It is the only regeneration that was not shown to the point that we didn't see who the new Doctor was going to be . After the Time Lords moved the second Doctor to the TARDIS, they sent him directly to Earth. We're supposing that the shock of regenerating to Jon Pertwee caused Pat to lie down on the TARDIS floor while the regeneration completed itself...

Ben O'Connor All but 2.

Richard Thompson and lasts

KIDNEYS!

Legs, I've still got legs!

You expecting someone else?

And last words (most of the time)

Dont you mean SPEED IS KEY

Don’t you just hate when you sneeze and your kidneys change colour

Matthew Duncan LOL I hate that XD

@@arrynvorzo9966 no he doesn't

The reason for the fast regeneration, if you were listening is because he already let out a lot of regeneration energy and it reset his body to be younger, he stopped the process for a bit most likely so Clara could say goodbye. Then he didn't have a lot more regenerating to do so it was just a quick flash.

LazerzZ and when Matt took his bow tie off 😭😭😭😭😭

“I had to face my fears, that was much more important than just going on” the 3rd Doctor’s final words. They meant a lot the 7 year old I was when Jon Pertwee regenerated into Tom Baker

i cry every time....

• SuperWhøLøck • Why do you have to make it about a different doctor?

Me too

TheJaviferrol I was their to he offered me too

and i am the Sunday that it all happened on

nigel smith And I'm the Tom Baker that offered it.

Fantastic!

Personally meets the 4th Doctor: *profile picture is the 7th* LOL

*Eccleston

***** *Ecclescakes

Much as I liked that music,I disagree....each regeneration should be different...otherwise,it's same-old same old...!

Dan Root then again, so was David Tennant's.

Eccleston regeneration was the best ^_^

Rose, I don't feel so good

The music also makes it 10x worse omg ;-;

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

10th doctor is best doctor! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"I don't wanna go..." he said that because he misses the face that Rose fell in love with. If he regenerated, then he would have forgotten about her 😭😭😭😭😭

I thought matt Smith's regeneration was kind of a let down , especially compared to how dramatic the previous send offs were

I understand the idea behind his regeneration but if u blinked u missed it

Ishaan Basu me too who doesn't if u don't the. Why

Sam Cheners he had already regenerated at that moment, he only had to change the face

Ishaan Basu I laugh. I don't cry.

coldfission I agree with this theory.

I think it could work either way with Capaldi to whoever will be 13 either being a calm regeneration or even more explosive, since yes it is an early regeneration in a new cycle but then again that cycle shouldn't have existed in the first place so maybe it will still end up using _a lot_ of regeneration energy. I guess we'll just have to wait to find out. I think you're right, though. However, why are the other Time Lords regenerating in similar manners now (I suppose at this point all of the other Time Lords are also in their later regenerations, so let's just excuse it that way)? The only thing that might make this theory invalid is how River only had maybe (3?) Regenerations yet they all occurred in similar manners to The Doctor in his late ones. But again, she was also an anomaly, so maybe it works like that. Idk, I get way into these sometimes.

The high energy regenerations began with Mc Gann drinking the Sisterhood of Karn's mixture into a Doctor much better suited mentally and emotionally to be a War Doctor. The excess energy after that regeneration did not exhaust itself until Matt's regeneration to Perter C...

I think you're neglecting the movie (which is canon now) and 6-7. 6-7 was the first to have a kind of wavy-line effect eminating from his face which is reminiscent of the later transitions (in reality this was done to hide the fact that Colin Baker refused to return for his regeneration scene, making Sylvester McCoy the only person to play two separate incarnations of the Doctor!). But more troubling to your idea is the energy discharges that occur with 7-8 in the movie. Now of course, you could explain each individual change as a one-off. So there are electrical discharges in 7-8 because the doctor was accidentally electrocuted before his delayed regeneration. 8 to War was energetic due to the Sisterhood's mixture, War to 9 was the same as 9 to 10 (give or take) as they were both "standard" despite the latter being due to absorbing the energy of the time vortex (!), 10-11 was highly energetic, damaging the Tardis because 10 didn't want to go and 11 to 11 (reset) was explosive just because that's what resets are like but I think my explanation of a trend of increasingly energetic transitions is simpler and answers more questions (like why there is a limit in the first place - which is now explicitly biological and not imposed by Timelord society.). But that's just me!

coldfission: Baker didn't refuse to return fir the regeneration. He said that he would only do it if he could have a final story to lead up to it rather than cameo his own death scene (not exactly a big ask). The producers said they would get back to him and the next he heard about it was when he watched his own regeneration on TV.

Agreed... MY Doctor

I really loved the 9th Doctor’s regeneration into the 10th Doctor because I felt like it wasn’t too sad and it actually made me feel happy for him on the inside! Also fun fact: I actually used the 9th Doctor’s quote before he regenerated “Before I go…I just want to say you were fantastic” in my senior collage in my high school yearbook!

that up to netflix the bbc wilol syndicate to anyone who pays enough to get the rights.

It's on the Uk's netflix

Lewis Conroy but that's only series 1-8 and day of the doctor an time of the doctor aren't on Netflix

@@skulduggerypleasant6439 Lol kid you just learned how to make a comment? Stop having a seizure. DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT that when he commented it was less than 10 years ago. Yeah, it's older than you so it means you lose your head, but shush please 🤣

Oh shit here we go again

I still do.

Me.😢

Matt Stokes The strange thing is that Matt's ending moved me to tears and David's didn't- even though I like David way better.

mee😭😭

I was so sad when David Tennant left Doctor Who, but then I loved so much Matt Smith, he is still one the my favourites, both David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston. They're all fantastic!!! ❤

Oh wow my two fav Doctor"s regeneration what do you want, kill me ?

"You're gonna have a great year" should have been his last words. I don't wanna go was so cheesy and the look on Tennants face sold it alone. It was even worse when they brought that line back in the 50th anniversary.

Ne Olduğu Bilinmeyen Kanal the worst Regeneration ever what a coward

but tenant really didn't want to go. tenant loved being the doctor and has been quoted saying i had to go because if i didn't they'd be wheeling me out of the tardis.

kyle hubner So when Peter Capaldi regenerates he better look straight into the camera and say "I'm a DW fan and I'm glad to have played the Doctor. Goodbye"

Vouax ... and the Curator and the Valeyard.

Did you mean curator?

Eh, does the Valeyard really count as an additional regeneration?

Zanderfist​ no, unless hes a future regeneration then maybe.

Depends. The original explanation of what he was was the Doctor's final incarnation, going back to try and take his past self's regenerations, paradoxes be damned. But in the story it was written that he's a 'distillation of the Doctor's evil between his 12th and 13th incarnations (2nd Tennant regeneration and Smith)

such an underrated comment.

i dON't lIkE tHe coLoUR!

@@Noivern87 *oF yOuR kIdNeYs?*

I imagine he'll regenerate at the end of the season, or during the 2017 Christmas special. It feels like Matt just regenerated, I don't want Peter to go so soon.

I reckon he could stay a bit longer. The others were younger actors who didn't want to be type casted and would like to move forward with their careers. Capaldi is already a well established actor who has a big legacy behind him before Doctor Who so he really has no reason to leave so long as he's enjoying it.

I don't want him to go too soon. A good four or five season stretch would be great. I hope the "three and gone" thing doesn't become a hard rule. Vary it; some one-to-two years, some three-to-four years, and occasionally a five-to-six year run. Much more than that may be too long. Even Baker got old after a while.

No, it's just the 53rd anniversary.

STOP. JUST STOP.

Me two

JoyStar Didn't we all?

I loved his run as the Doctor, and I was prepared to despise Matt Smith for taking over the roll. But he won me over in just a few episodes. Still, my favorite has to be the one I grew up with. Tom Baker will always be the Doctor to me :)

JoyStar the best doctor ever 1v1 me virtual if you disagree ok you no what nvm you wouldn't be worth my time THE TENTH DOCTOR IS TE BEST NO ARGUEMENTS

JoyStar I cried I i never cry watching movies or tv show the only thing I Ve ever cried watching was chestnut but ow this

agreed, read executed for his crimes and sent into exile!

It's great how the show can change so much; not even the leading actor stays the same for very many years (Tom Baker longest, seven years)

Kristopher Awojobi Same here when I saw Chris change to David I was literally shocked

Kristopher Awojobi what i dont like is that ill probably nerver live tonsee the end of doctor who because of it

Same with me

I know David Tennant is good but I honestly prefer Peter Capaldi and even William Hartnell

@@jaytender4949 you shut your god damn mouth

@@Alectron8 Oh yeah right I’m supposed to like the same things as everyone else right? So let me get this straight: 1- David Tennant is the best Doctor (which he isn’t) 2- Series 11 is awful (not awful just different) 3- Classic Doctor Who is boring (which REALLY isn’t) 4- Amy Pond is the best companion in New Who (I honestly prefer Donna or Clara anyday of the year) Sorry not sorry man but I stand my ground! The 10th Doctor is overrated and the 12th and 1st Doctor are MY definitive Doctors for me!

@@jaytender4949 oh no I love series 11

@@jaytender4949 Donna is better 100%

Agreed, and not just because Davison is my favorite classic doctor

that was more in his mind. Like how Colin Baker in his regneration story for B.F. says "Our Future is in safe hands" even though offically in the same play is last words are "Who's There"

And in the show, his last words before regenerating are "carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice" xD

I completely agree with you man. Tennant's doctor got so self-absorbed. first, he literally regenerated into himself. and then when he did die, he went out like such a whiner 'waaah i don't want to go'. like i get it you're sad. but every other doctor died, and most of them died like real men. hartnell's last words: 'stay warm'. troughton was literally executed so i can't really blame him for being scared in that circumstance. pertwee went out trying to console sara: 'where there's life.. there's...' . I could go on about this forever. and yeah, what you said is another part of why the caves of androzani is so awesome. he goes out selflessly, not selfishly. tennant could have definitely learned more from his predecessor in timecrash. and that's why it bugs me when all the fan girls are like 'waaah it's sooo sad' whereas really they're just sad that their cutie died. but in the end they're not true whovians because they just can't appreciate what being the doctor is really all about.

Well he did know that the next regeneration would be his (at that time) last one, and only lived for 6 years compared to the however many that other doctors had, so I think at that point it's less a point of "I'm so great dont make me leave" and more a case of, as he said "I could do so much more"

12-13th: Normal

10 - 10: Normal too.

5-6 hunted by your nemesis.

Zebitas Martinex me it was 10th - 11th

"I don't want to go..." **sob** :(

Syntaxus Dogmata when I see his face on Google images I get flashbacks

11th-12th and 12th-13th are on par. When Matt Smith said "I will always remember when The Doctor was me..." i cried a lot.

Roberto Goulart Who keeps calling them by those numbers anyway? It was clarified 2 years ago, even in the video, that is from an official channel, the order still War-9-10-10-11-12 [aka the same thing it always was honestly]

Official RqX Aka John Møller Yeah,I hope that was intentional,I'm not a super big lore person,but that might be the reason time lords can't regenerate that much,the energy might destroy a planet or something. But idk

I'm sorry, unnoticable? Did you see what 12th did to the poor TARDIS she really should leave a note, go outside to regenerate, I'm sick of redecorating!!!

And According To The Cenitary Special 13’s Last Words Are “Yaz”

brilliant! Thanks for replying too :)

Doctor Who My favorite doctor is David Tennant

So true I was in tears when David Tennant regenerated into Matt Smith

YES I mean, he is THE Doctor for me and he will be forever

Care for a jelly baby

Aserwolf I'd say peter for me

+All Things Doctor Who! Adric

Aserwolf I think 9 is

Matt is for me the Best doctor I don't know why

No it wasn't. He was completely out of character that whole episode.

It hurts more when you come to know that Eccleston thought he didn’t do well as the Doctor. Or that’s what I heard.

53 absolutely fantastic years

Agree. And looks like the similar problem is also in Capaldi-Whittaker.

also keep in mind he was only 10 for like 3 years, while he was matt for around 1300 years. Most doctors last a couple centuries, 10 accomplished so much in his 3 years, imagine what he would have accomplished if he had lived for 3 centuries.

Jake Bishop Thats one of the things i hate about moffat's run. his need to make the doctor ancient. I really hope that's something that gets retconned when the new guy takes over. Also less time paradoxes and no more "girls who waited" he did that trope at least 5 times.

Colt Gustafson ya he wants to make every single character super special, and it makes everything feel fake and overdone

Jake Bishop Yeah, that whole, pop in the TARDIS and next time you see him he said 300 years have passed while he worked on a problem.. just felt ugg to me

ryanpiyo Thank you.

It was supposed to be a cocoon, like a catapillar turning into a butterfly. An early attempt at making the regeneration a bit more elaborate than just having a simple fade to a new actor.

The Watcher was a projection of the doctor a sort of embryonic fifth doctor. He waited and bided his time waiting for the fourth doctor to fall to the ground at the Pharos Project. Fourth knew his time was up and fifth knew his becoming was near. Also it's a sly reference to what the second doctor said to Ben. I'd like to see a butterfly fit back into it's chrysalis...

if you bothered to watch the episode, there was something following the doctor, when he fell off the telescope trying to stop the master from blowing something up, the thing following them was the next doctor. When Tom died he regenerated into his next form, that was the change

lol dont blink best episode

I disagree watch the whole entire Tennant- Smith... That one was rly emotional, not just it being the end of the RTD era, especially when he says "I don't want to go" im talking the WHOLE regeneration not just the final words- he was one of my favorites and if this was a list on best regenerations, i think ur no. 5 should be higher cause that whole speech was quite frankly amazing when he was talking about his past. Matt Smith, to me, had the best speeches out of most doctors.

Dylan Lynch- Quinones g True

Tbh the way I see it, the Tennant to Tennant regeneration was a wasted regeneration that also complicated the numbering system of the Doctors. Like, the War Doctor screwed up the numbering enough, having it be one off, but making Tennant's meta-crisis regeneration count just screwed it up even more. Like, why is the Twelfth Doctor really the fourteenth incarnation?

@@abelmoreno4836 She's doing fine. The writers on the other hand...

@@JoltsD I am sure you saw how Tennant's Dr pimped for Jack Harkness by bringing him a boy to play with. Tom Baker will be the best DR. He fought the Daleks before they made. Genesis of the Dalaks.

Or BBC online/iPlayer

That's why Big Finish exists. They've been doing McGann stories since 2002, and as of the time I've written this comment they've released 3 out of their 4 planned box sets featuring John Hurt's War Doctor. I wish there was more planned for the War Doctor, though. They've been brilliant to listen to.

Whle the Big Finish performances are great, I'd still like to see more of Paul or Hurt on the screen.

GoldenTalesGeek but I feel like you get a much better feeling with on screen stories it's like with comics reading them is great but something about a live action/cartoon film/tv show that brings the story and the visuals to live that I enjoy

I get that. I love visuals too, but sometimes audio stories can really fire up the imagination. I try to listen to a Big Finish audio or 2 while i'm editing my RU-vid videos, and I just love the ambitiousness in the storytelling.

I disagree tbh

It would be fun

Unfortunately, we already know it’s gonna happen in 2022. We just don’t know WHO will be the new WHO show runner or Doctor yet.

@@stepforwardentertainment715 there’s rumours it’s Richard ayoade he was apparently spotted at the bbc talking to Russel t Davies I hope those rumours are true

you literally said goodbye to the tenth doctor, not the eleventh.

Agree, the classic regenerations are given much less airtime here.

If you want context: 1) He seems unwell during the events of _The Tenth Planet_ then collapses. He says his body is "wearing a bit thin" meaning old age. 2) The events of _The War Games_ eventually result in the Doctor going to his as-yet-unnamed home planet, Gallifrey. He broke the rule of non-intervention, so the Time Lords force the Doctor to regenerate and exile him to Earth, where he remains stranded for some time. 3) The Doctor goes to confront the Great One, leader of the _Planet of Spiders,_ but is poisoned by radiation present in the caves. 4) After working together to stop the universe from decaying during _Logopolis,_ the Master tricks the Doctor into falling from the top of the radio telescope. 5) The Doctor and Peri are both infected with a disease in _The Caves of Androzani,_ but there is only one sample of the andidote, which the Doctor gives to Peri. 6) The TARDIS is struck by laser beams at the start of _Time and the Rani,_ and crashes, then the Doctor regenerates. No other explanation is given on-screen, although there is a Big Finish audio called _The Last Adventure_ which goes into more detail. 7) The Doctor is randomly shot by a street gang at the start of the TV Movie. Medical doctors attempt to operate, but make things worse as they are unfamiliar with his anatomy. Everything after that is the new series, and it sounds like you know that already.

PhoneBoxer io un'impugnatura impugno importo j

Only thing left of first doctor's regeneration episode is the regeneration.

@@cubesmithcom5694 episode no there are pieces of it, the whole story, there are 4 parts and the first 3 are in tact

Actually 11's regeneration is the longest in all the series. The majority of it was shown while he was destroying the Daleks. The overall process was the longest but I can see why the quick transition after it all could make it seem like it was so little.

It was also the beginning of a new regeneration cycle...

That feeling when you complain about the longest and most destructive regeneration to be longer and more destructive

Tell him happy bd from me ;)

Happy Birthday to him! :)

But my favorite regeneration is the10th Doctor's.

i dont want to go

My wife kinda' preferred the 3rd.

Why is everything sexy now?

Chilly Soda That's a reference. Did you see 'The Husbands of River Song"?

I bet you haven't listened to any audio dramas have you?

i have but i am a visual person. and many people don't enjoy audio dramas.

And i love him for that :)

no no no no NO! The best is regeneration of the 10th

Shutup and let the man have his opinion. My favorite Doctor is Hartnell, not sure for favorite regeneration.

My favorite doctor is either the Second Doctor or the Fourth Doctor, they just bring their own personality to the role. And, I'd have to agree with the regeneration scene.

I'm going to say Nine had the best regeneration scene.

The Fifth Doctor hands down has the best regeneration scene.

Muneeb Ahmed Me too, why do I do this to myself xD

Muneeb Ahmed shouldn't have

Over-dramatic more like

nope that one goes to second. You do realize he was essentially executed, and he was screaming no no no!!!

11's makes me smile. "Times change, and so must I" is so Matt Smith's Doctor, and it's basically telling us "I'm leaving the show, but it's okay." I just wish there was a better sense of continuity between him and Capaldi.

Carlos Mc I see your reference

Amaranth I agree

Nope

Carlos Mc no I didn't and there is no best, they were all good in their own way.
