Honest Trailers - Doctor Who (Classic) 

Which Who villain would you be most terrified to have to confront? One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate. Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated. Three: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse

Screen Junkies: "You know his name..." Whovians: "We do NOT!"

I finished classic who this weekend. I started in 2003...

There's really no debate: the most overrated Doctor is always going to be the 8th Doctor; the most underrated Doctor is always going to be the 8th Doctor. It all depends on whether or not you're talking about the movie of the Big Finish version.

"The 'He seems nice' Doctor" 😂 Seems being the operative word. He was crabby and sarcastic as hell but he did it so pleasantly he got away with it.

I find it awesome that the original Screwdriver (2nd Doctor) was literally a screwdriver. That's sonic. It was used to remove screws.

On a totally different section of Classic Who... "Say Hello to the Sofa of Reasonable Comfort" -- Rowan Atkinson; 9th Doctor

"Or even ten episodes" The Dalek's Master Plan has entered the chat.

6:05 how dare he call Brigs knocking out the Master a “bad fight scene”, it’s iconic 😤

Wow, very harsh you guys... They had an exact budget of one and a half ham sandwiches for each season, lol.

It's not "pretty much impossible" to watch every episode of Doctor Who. It's _literally_ impossible. The original tape reels for some of the earlier episodes were physically taped over by the BBC, before the era of home video recording. They are quite literally gone forever.

You missed the best enemy, the "we have no budget so drew a blob on the film"

,,the inflatable plastic chair of doom" 🤣🤣🤣😂

It really is such a shame so much of the Troughton era remains lost. He’s a lot of fun to watch in what we do have.

Classic Doctor Who is the best acid trip ever

If the special effects budget looks like it could fit on someone's credit card then you're watching classic Doctor Who, my friend. And that's what makes it awesome!

A show that’s both timeless and completely out of date.... Hartnell: “What you need is a jolly good smack bottom!” HAHAHAHAHA GOLD.

I can't believe you watched that much Doctor Who. That must have been mind breaking.

*_You know his name!_* We really don't.

Why does everybody wanna just ignore the fact this show was great because the budget constraints forced them to be more creative with what little they had? Sure, not every episode was great. That generic, unprofound statement can be said of literally every single TV-Show every made, and it's not a legitimate criticism. The fact is, most of the episodes of classic who were actually really great, with some weak ones here and there. Seeing as it ran for 26 seasons, it has more weak episodes than most, but still more of its episodes are good than bad.

My buddy once said that getting into Dr. Who was the nerd equivalent of old people retiring to Florida.

No mention of of rock quarries seen on the show? "I have grown weary of all the evil in the cosmos. All the cruelty, all the suffering, all those endless gravel quarries." - The Doctor, on being in yet another rock quarry

Fun fact: Jon Pertwee served in the secret service during WWII, Ian Fleming was his boss. They were keen to send him overseas, but he opted to train field operative instead. So you can say that there's a bit of James Bond in him, and the same of 007 too. (This was from the DWM a few years back on an unpublished interview they did with Pertwee.)

"The Beatle hair cut child like doctor" is my favorite! ^^

I love the fact that the 5th Doctor is the 10th Doctor’s father in law considering that Peter Davidson is David Tennants favourite Doctor

They should have gone over all the companions like they did with the Modern Who trailer. It would have been hilarious to watch the nicknames they could have come up with for them.

Getting Doctor why fans to tell you who the best doctor is like asking someone who their favourite child is. They love them all equally for different reasons.

The Doctor in Classic Who: Hulk The Doctor in New Who: Professor Hulk

Eight is an underrated GOAT. Such a vast amount of content in the audio stories and so much of it more consistent than the show itself and of course Tom baker is *the* doctor.

“Inspector Spacetime“ at 7:00 :D I wonder how many people got that reference

I find it great that the subtitles actually get the names of every character and enemy correct, has anyone else noticed that?

5:04 To be fair, The Doctor never calls himself Doctor Who, and anyone who does, he corrects. He even got annoyed when The Mistress called him Doctor Who in a season finale.

Okay but Dæmons, Autons and Omega are actually great villains

Marvelous and funny. But when I was a kid in the 70's Dr Who was sublime, truly spellbinding and entrancing. Being whisked away to such weird worlds every Saturday was the highlight of my week. And the stories were actually rather good most of the time, some incredibly morbid and scary during the Tom Baker era when they forgot they were making a children's programme. But yes, the fight scenes were often awful. And then we all grew up and watched Blakes 7.....

Please do an honest trailer about the miniseries "Good Omens" from Amazon Prime Video starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

"You don't understand. And I knew you wouldn't, never mind."

Screen Junkies about watching every classic Doctor Who episode: "It's pretty much impossible." Me: "Hold my Jelly Babies."

They did it, the mad men, especially Dan did it!

Wait, I just watched classic and it is gone. Or, perhaps, classic regenerated into modern. No, wait, classic is back with 27 additional seconds. They must have found some more lost seconds.

Admit it, even the rubbish stuff is compellingly rubbish. It's like Flash Gordon without the fake tan.

Even Peter Capaldi called the Doctor "Doctor Who" so it’s okay xD

Starring: 1 - The Grumpy One 2 - The Stroppy One 3 - The Posh One 4 - The One With A Deep Voice 5 - The Bland One 6 - The Dickish One 7 - The Underrated One 8 - The One-off

Mad kudos to Dan for watching every episode both old and new. I know he's been trying to get through them for a while to get this made, couldn't have been easy.

Watching all the episodes is like trying to catch every pokemon

I kind of really would like to see a honest trailer for torchwood

Seriously? TWO Doctor Who Honest trailers and no joke about the toilet plunger of the Daleks???

I knew the clip of 5 pushing a dalek out of a window would be in here

"easily defeated Daleks" - shows a Dalek being beat up with a weapon imbued with the essence of the most powerful time lord in existence.

It's stuff like this that convinced me to start watching Classic Who.

3:59 Well the Cybermen alone predicted the Borg, let's be honest. I mean, there was even a crossover comic that highlighted exactly how similar they were.

Nice Community reference.

I love the Bubble Wrap Monster.

How can u make fun of how unoriginal the name The Damon’s from the planet Damonds We are earthlings from the planet earth

Hey, the big finish audio plays are some of the best things that you can experience

Tom Baker is a living legend, the man needs a knighthood.

Blimey, Inspector! Look out, Constable Reggie! Here come the Blorgons! ERADICATE!

I am so sorry, but the suddenness of the "And one midget!" made me crack up really hard.

Nice to have a Classic HT as well as a Modern HT. One minor nitpick at the end, the Modern DW is NOT a reboot! It's a revival/resume of the show. (And yes there is a difference between the two)

Reeuploaded. Im watching it again then.

Seeing this has made me want to see an Honest Trailer for Red Dwarf.

Watching every episode of Doctor Who is impossible. Many of them no longer exist.

I have been a Doctor Who fan for over 26 years, it is a show that is very special to me, both the classic 20th Century series and the new 'rejuvenated' seasons. It was a big influence on me growing up, it helped me through a childhood of being bullied and has contributed in part to who I am today, my morals & my humour. Both these Honest Trailers (for the classic series & for the new) are brilliant! I know how much work you must have put in, to go from never having watched the show, to knowing enough to comment on it's flaws, tropes, themes...through a fifty plus year history...the task was monumental...but as a Who fan, I am so appreciative, so thankful that you did so with such grace, humour and wit...and above all with kindness...these are both wonderful.Each one hits on all the things we Who fans know to be true; the good, the bad, the laughable and the laudable...but treats all that could be derisory with the same affection and knowingness as us 'Whovians'...those 'shonky' parts of the classic era that can be attributed to low budgets and the era in which it was made, production values and resources etc.)...are a large part of why we love it and hold it so close to us.It is the show that we loved as children, could enjoy with our friends and our parents...and could then pass on to our own children...and these two trailers, whether through accident or design, has captured that perfectly.Thank you, thank you for treating this show with affection and kindness, whether it is an affection you felt yourselves or not.You have made a true blue Whovian very happy.Yours, Ian P

Some Classic Who episodes went missing and has been found and The Honest Trailer for Classic Who went missing but has been found again very similar

I love it when Epic Voice Guy gets exasperated. THAT'S WHAT THE SHOW CALLED HIM FOR 18 YEARS!!!!!!!

LOL this is both hilarious and pretty accurate! Classic Doctor Who is my favorite! And I’m not even one that grew up with the series in the 70s, or even 80s, I just like old television 😂

I honestly think you perfectly sumarized the show, but I still think it's great.

I like that you guys split it up by classic and modern.

To be fair to classic Who, *most* shows were far more deliberate back in those days. Go watch some original series Trek, or any other popular drama from the 60s. They are all plodding by today's standards.

LMAO! After watching Community I FINALLY get the Inspector SpaceTime joke 😂 Man Doctor Who and Community are FANTASTIC! (In Ninth Doctor Voice)

Should've mentioned one reason the Doctor doesn't visit America often is cuz that time he arrived in SF...as soon as he stepped out the TARDIS he got shot by a gang and regenerated into 8 lol

Listening to the Big Finish audio dramas are a really good idea actually, they've made some of the best Doctor Who stories.

i feel like so much heart went into making this, whoever wrote this knew classic doctor who pretty well

How can you have screaming villains without "The Nimon be praised!" ?

If you fully appreciate the Inspector Spacetime joke we should be best friends

I've watched every single Classic Who episode (or experienced missing (: ). And I absolutely recommend it for New Who fans. You will not regret it!!! It is as brilliant as 2005 revival (sometimes even more brilliant).

I’m a teen and my parents taught me well and made (not really though) me grow up watching these doctors until I was old enough and introduced me to the new ones. I love them all! Thank you for this!!!

Ok now that you've done this trailer, the one that we have been wanting for years... You still need to do all the spinoff shows!

As a completist I'm going to have to insist you cover the Peter Cushing movie spinoffs now.

I have watched/listened/read every episode of classic who and I don't regret a thing.

Wikipedia will tell you that Australia has always had Doctor Who, repeated many times. So not only the UK, nyer!

For an advanced civilization, it took the daleks forever to fly. You could beat them with stairs.

Best show ever, classic Dr Who

God I love Classic Doctor Who. Undoubtedly my favourite TV show of all time. New Doctor Who is still good but nothing on the original 26 seasons. Even the worst episodes are just non stop fun to watch! Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker and, Sylvester McCoy are my top 3 favourite doctors!

“Inspector Spacetime”. .........well played.

"I understand we all look the same" Okay, so yeah it was kinda insulting that the guy playing him wasn't really chinese, but if you pretend he was it is a great line for the character. That's the line that made me think 'wow, this guy understands how to manipulate people.' (first time I watched it I had no idea he wasn't actually chinese). I wish TV was brave enough to not shy away from these topics because it makes the characters so multi-dimensional.

I've watched every single available episode plus reconstructions of the missing ones plus listened to every audioplay, read every comic and I'm making my way through the original novels so it's not impossible, you just need a lot of free time

Oh god you don't understand how much I'm hoping for the missing episodes to show up.

The fact that it felt, at the beginning, like a year 4 student going "What I did with my grandad during the summer holidays" Make it so hilarious!

Grew up with these on PBS--they would show an entire episode on weekends, usually Sunday afternoons. I at one point had about 90 hours on VHS--and sadly never transferred them. A true classic--one of the longest running shows of all time.

Been waiting years for this! Wasn’t expecting you to do the classics!!! For those who haven’t watched them plz plz watch them the classics are amazing and big finish too!!!!

3:16 There was even a 12-part story, The Dalek Masterplan. Now, only audio exists for most of it.

Inspector Spacetime, Nice! I just finished community so I get this now.

Time Lord: A Dalek can destroy this entire city Dalek: 5:14

Please say: "Eddie, cooperate like a turd in the wind."

Seventh wasn't running on fumes, at least not after his first season. His second and third seasons were brilliant.

HEY!!!! I watched every episode of Doctor Who, watched K9 & Company, and am currently loving listening to Big Finish.

It is actually impossible for somebody to watch every Doctor who episode now because some of the original episodes were actually destroyed by the BBC

There's a reason to why William Hartnell Flabbed his lines and it's the main reason regeneration was created

It seems more likely dr. who inspired Neuromancer which inspired "the matrix". Probably. Neuromancer? Anybody?

As someone who has never watched the show, is this Jojo but for the UK?
