Full 1st Doctor Regeneration 

The BBC can be very odd with matters like the missing episodes.

and is the only chance for people who WERENT old enough to see it first time around, to see it. This precious precious footage, do they not understand how special this is???

@@julieeverett7442 No. They wouldn't have destroyed so much television history to begin with if they weren't mindless bureaucrats.

@@julieeverett7442 BBC be like: "Oi Oi Oi chum. You have a loiscence for that footage?"

@@rickardkaufman3988 Absolutely love this comment.

There was a _lot_ about it on the news and in papers. The first announcement was just that he was leaving and tge BBC were looking for a new actor for the role. Back in the day, the fuss around a new Doctor was almost as big as that around a new Bond. Interest didn't really fizzle out until Colin Baker was ousted. He was a big name having played a popular villain in "The Brothers". There was more about his exit, though, than there was about casting of Sylvester McCoy, who didn't seem to get much of a fanfare.

And promised it longevity for many years to come.

And Patrick and his great acting sold it that he was the Doctor.

A true thespian

​@@cristobal2012More than that, he was a "legit" thespian. That was very important to him.

Ironside Guy, I see the heart next to my remark. Did YOU have anything to do with the Hartnell animation?

The Hartnell animation came from the dvd release of The Tenth Planet. A partially missing serial. Parts of the regeneration remain because the footage was used on Blue Peter. So most of the missing parts were done with animation. Meanwhile the second doctor segments are from Power of the Daleks release, which used a different animation studio than the one from The Tenth Planet.

Sorry for the late response, no I didn't work on the animations themselves. They're both official animations. I merely edited them together and took out the gap between the episodes. Both animations can be found on their respective DVDs/ Blu-rays or on Britbox

@@ThatIronsideGuy who did the animation.

@@disneyboy3030 The BBC, for the Tenth Planet DVD release. And later the Power of the Daleks animated reconstruction, in two different versions. All widely available.

I didn't really want to do that for risks of it getting taken down (BBC are picky over the new series) and I just wanted to combine Tenth Planet with Power Of The Daleks.

As much as I like Twice upon a time, I don't count it as cannon in my head. It's a fun episode but I don't like how the BBC are trying to replace the original regeneration with William Hartnell with the David Bradley. If you look at the newest regeneration video by the official Doctor Who channel, there is only the Davis Bradley regeneration, not Hartnells. It feels really disrespectful to me.

@ThatIronsideGuy but Hartnell passed away before the filming of the Three Doctors. Ofc they will choose a lookalike.

@@ThatIronsideGuy hardly trying to replace him. They can’t exactly revive him to play can they?

​@TheHeavyDead420 Just a bit of a correction there he passed away after The Three Doctors. I think you were thinking of The Five Doctors where Richard Hurndall played the 1st Doctor.

And it seems not a moment too soon :)

Thanks!

The animations are official. I just compiled both the Tenth Planet Animation and the surviving footage with Power of the Dalek's animation. They're really worth picking up either physically or on Britbox.

I didn't do these animations, I simply compiled the official ones together into one full video.

@@ThatIronsideGuy Oh, I thought you did the animations in the beginning and then stitched scenes from Power of the Daleks

They had no explanation for what happened. Neither did the audience. Their reactions reflect what the audience would be thinking. Some would quickly view this as the same man (Polly’s view) but many others would regard him as an imposter (Ben’s view). The fact that more of Hartnell’s episodes survive than Troughton’s makes me think the BBC staff felt the same as Ben.

To be fair, all the Hartnell (except the first 13) episodes and all the Troughton episodes were equally junked by the BBC. It's just that more secondhand copies of Hartnell's episodes by private collectors and so on turned up in the ensuing decades

I do agree for some of the animations. It's why I respect how they include reconstructions on the episodes they can on the Blu-rays.

It's his two hearts adjusting to his new regeneration

@@gbasource Nope, just a cool effect. The first mention of The Doctor having two hearts was in the 1970 story, Spearhead from Space. That wasn't a part of the canon at this point yet.

They were slightly changed. More disheveled

Unlike today a Timelord can change complete with false eyelashes and makeup

@@paulashe61 will the new doctor regenerate wearing a bra and panties? hahah

Yeah it was strange

yes. now do be quiet about it and carry on.

I believe the ring falling off was simply to show that the 2nd doctor was played by a much smaller actor than the first.

He lost the ring just like 13th.

I mean that ring was the closest thing the 1st Doctor had to a Sonic screwdriver, as the ring did possess "special properties"

@@annamariadallolio5000 We don't talk about the 13th.

@@ptolemeeselenion1542 shut

Nobody hates Doctor Who more than its fans.

@@magicaltour1Its true though 😂
