Behind the Lens - The Day of the Doctor - Doctor Who 50th Anniversary - BBC 

David and Billie sitting together just makes me incredibly happy.

I love that Matt was wearing Amy's old glasses during the read through

The whole time I was trying to figure out who was narrating it, and when I saw Colin Baker I about fell out of my chair.

Luckily, in 50 years I'll only be 73. I will be there for that 100th anniversary! Let me just make a mental note not to die until 2064.

"They had to get out of bed at some unearthly hour" I see what you did there Colin

the way billie trailed off with a laugh when she said "a bit more well-managed than rose tyler" still cracks me up to this day. you can tell that no matter how long ago rose's run was, she still holds a place in billie's heart.

Love how at the end, Tom Baker just doesn't need to introduce himself. He just gives that little look at the end...

Colin Baker sounds a lot like Sir David Attenborough during the narration.

I hope to still be alive for the 100th anniversary episode.

they should've sang, "happy birthday to who..."

Colin Baker at the end was surprising.

I am not crying I just have the 50th anniversary in my eye

I really liked this 50th Anniversary Special, but it was kind of bittersweet for me. Mainly because Elisabeth Sladen wasn't alive to participate. RIP Elisabeth Sladen, aka Sarah Jane Smith

THEY GOT HURT TO WEAR THE FEZ xD

I swear Matt Smith could literally be the 11th doctor. Same personality even when he isn't acting

What makes me so happy is how tom backer is still very happy to be associated with it, things like that show a true love of the show 💕

Billie piper is amazing ❤️

sad the 9th doctor didnt join this episode. hes the one who rebooted and brought this show back

12:42 Look at John Hurt with the fez on! Really miss the legendary actor. Best coming together episode ever!

Love Colin Baker as the narrator.

When he said "The sixth Doctor." I CRIED

I knew that voice the entire time I was like "is that Colin?"

I remember showing my little Brother blink and him being too scared to watch anything else from the show. Now he ks the single biggest whovian I know. He went to the Emerald City Comicon dressed as the 10th Doctor to get David Tennant's autograph. He's been the Doctor for Halloween multiple times. It's just wonderful to see the love he has for it.

OMG i actually almost teared up watching this happy 50th anniversary DW

I would have been cool if Donna was in it and Martha and it would be cool to see what rose should do if she meet river

Jenna awkwardly realising they were following her from her trailer. She is honest to God so adorable

There wast this guy (Matt Smith lookalike actually) in the red chair at the Graham Norton show and he wanted to know if they got the fez on John Hurt :P well he got his answer :)

'If you think about it, we're all different people all through our lives, and that's good you've got to keep moving, as long as you remember all the people you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was Me.'

01:05 the origin of that friendship i believe when they filmed David T.'s regeneration in the End Of Time

Colin Baker at the end took me completely by surprise!

I'm happy to live in a small city that has had many scenes from doctor who filmed in our churches and castles.

It was incredible! Just a bit sad there wasn't a 10 and rose scene :(

"The thing is...I don't want to go." - 10, as he walks into the TARDIS. "He says that all the time." - 11 whispering to War Doctor. Oh ffs Moffat -_-

I still can't look at John Hurt without tearing up a little. R.I.P 1940-2017

I'm in tears.

its nice to see colin baker voice over this mini-confidential!

After half finishing hearing the unreleased Season 23 audiobooks Colin did for Big Finish this video will do nicely. Colin has such an impressive speaking voice.

Eccleston said no to making an appearance? That glorious bastard.

Joanna's giggling and excitement is contagious. I really like her sassy queen portrayal.

The last scene made me cry so much you could have gone swimming

I have to say Tom Baker still looks just as insane as he used to

“Good luck to the future.” They definitely need it😭

Feeling a bit emotional now. Lovely to hear Colin. ❤️

They did actually ask Christopher eccleston to be in it but he decided not to

I loved the 50th anniversary when I was 11. Can’t wait for the 100th anniversary when I’m 61.

I just love that Amy's glasses got so much screentime... that way she was always there. My favourite companion.

Tom Baker was my Doctor. We would catch episodes here and there on PBS in the US. I never understood what was going on, but I loved it. I am a fan for life!

12:16 John Hurt is in a fez!!!!!!

Imagine if 10 met 12

10th is my Doctor, but I eventually warmed up to 11 as well. Matt Smith wearing glasses at the readthrough is very very hot.

Aw the John hurt part made me cry, RIP

Honestly, I haven't watched the oldschool series (yet...), but I still felt all this pride, all this mix of emotions during watching this episode. That was FANTASTIC

Crying, this is so beautiful! I just want to hug all of the people in this video :)

Hurt is amazing!

I got to meet Colin Baker earlier this year at Comic-Con, and I am so glad that I did. Happy anniversary Doctor Who, and thank you to all of those who have worked on it in the past!

02:45 MY HEARTS BREAK. "Heartbreak is a burden to us all, pity the man with two." - Madam Vastra.

CHILLS AT THE END

I wonder how David felt when he saw Billie

The end where everyone was wishing a happy anniversary made me tear up a bit. It was very nice and meaningful.

i cant believe its been 10 years already. i will never forget.

Is it weird that I saw this several times ? I still get emotional every time.

12:42 john hurt in a fez XD

Oh that last scene had me in tears MY HEART CANT HANDLE

This was absolutely brilliant!!! I loved everything about this!

Cool to see the fez on John Hurt at the end. RIP.

Can't wait to see Peter capaldi begin ( also I might miss matt smith :'( .) I hope to see more of billie piper :)

That shot with all the Doctors is so wonderful, certainly had me crying when I watched the episode.

This was brilliant, unexpectedly brilliant- so many fantastic references

I want to see Capaldi and Hartnell (well, Bradley) together.

I love Osgood, I wouldn't mind if she ended up being the new companion

I don't generally "react". I just watch and enjoy. BUT I literally had goosebumps as 11 walked into the smoking cloud of 1 - 10. Brilliant.

thank you doctor who and happy 50th birthday!

clara's stunt double hahaha

I have infinite respect for Colin Baker. After he was terribly mistreated by the BBC and was fired for the sole reason of not being particularly well written, he still comes back and does all the audio commentaries and the conventions and everything. He had every right to be like Christopher Eccleston and hate the show, but he still came back, and for that, I have so much love for him.

Oh my God, when I saw Tom Baker in this episode my mouth dropped and my eyes went wide with just pure surprise and joy.

Why am I crying! At the end when they had everyone wish Doctor Who a happy anniversary I just felt this tear slide down my cheek! Here's to the next 50 years Doctor Who!

All of them are amazing :'3 The day of the Doctor is my favourite episode:3

For me, I think the Day of the Doctor was good, but it was lacking in a few things. It focused mostly on the new revived series, pretty much forgetting about the previous 43 years, with the exception of some snippets and references to the past. I really liked the plot though, with the War Doctor, and the time war etc. but here's my list as to what they should have done, and relatively could have actually done if Moffat was a better writer (#RTD): 1) More Doctors. What they really could've done was bring back Doctors 5, 6, 7 and 8, and have these in the special alongside Hurt, Tennant, and Smith. They could've easily done this, as the 4 actors (Davison, C Baker, McCoy and Mcgann) are all still involved with the show, and would've happily taken part if they had been asked. Then towards the end of the special have Tom Baker make his cameo, as actually seen in the special. The first 3 actors have obviously unfortunately passed away, and Eccleston is a bit of c*** regarding Doctor who, so 8 doctors in the special would have been perfect. 2) More companions. Have at least one companion from each era of the doctor to pair up with their respective Doctor. My personal choices: Janet Fielding as Tegan with the 5th Doctor, Nicola Bryant as Peri with the 6th Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace with the 7th Doctor, and have other companions from the show to pair up with companion lite Doctors in the special (Mcgann, Tennant etc.) such as perhaps Carol Ann Ford and William Russell with the 8th doctor, and John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness with the 10th Doctor. 3) More returning monsters. As much I loved to see the Zygons back, It just felt a bit random. if they had returned along with the Cybermen, the Sontarans, the silurians, the weeping angels, and many more returning monsters, then it would be big and full of action, which was another thing the Day of the Doctor was lacking in. Frankly the Pandorica Opens felt more like the 50th anniversary than the Day of the Doctor did in terms of returning monsters lol. 4) A darker opening to the special. Instead of just opening with Clara at the school, I feel as if it should have opened where we left off at the end of 'The name of the Doctor', with the War Doctor standing on that landscape, with flashbacks of the time war etc, before going into the original opening title (which was an awesome touch) and Coal Hill School scenery with Clara etc. If these had been included, then it would have been the 50th anniversary, no doubt, not the 8th anniversary of new who lol.

this was an amazing dvd, watched it till 3am ish & all the extras too!!! I share this as watching it empowered so many good memories & the cameos blew me away!!! I went to a convention in Washington State around the "Dr. Who Community" & nothing but so glad to have lived it & so glad to have seen this entire video as memories rolled & OMG... speechless, Thank you everyone!!!

Brilliant. Sentimental at the end, in a good way. Was in tears at the finale. So glad the secrets were kept off the internet and/or that I managed to avoid them.

COLIN BAKER OHMYGOD

1:34 did anyone else notice the Dalek behind David and Matt pointing it's gun at Matt's head?

Bloody marvellous, great narration. looking forward to the next season... good luck and happy fortunes to ALL the casts and crews

Love, love, love Colin Baker's voice

The reveal at the end made my jaw drop xD

Happy anniversary, Doctor Who ..! I am a Fan now and always will be :-) ...

Great video. I especially liked seeing the behind the scenes for all Doctors scene at the end. I know the faces were perfect in the movie OR behind the scenes, but that's still cool.

One word AMAZING !!!!

it would be so cool if all the doctors and companions could meet!! that would be a dream come true!!! XD

This is brilliant. :) I can't wait til Christmas! :D

I miss this kind of doctor who

This is an excellent vignette of how it all came about - reminds me of the joys of Confidential. PLEASE bring it back!

The Sixth Doctor my favorite doctor
