Multiple Doctors: Best Moments | Doctor Who 

Me too!

Stop fiddling with things 😅😅

Me four!

Apart from 13 she loves it

SAME OMG

@20:35 ... Peter Capaldi. The BakerS, Capaldi, Troughton, Eccleston, Matt Smith. The bests of the best.

"This regeneration, it's a bit of a clerical error anyways" -The 12th, Under the Lake

All thirteen 1-12 plus the War Doctor. Chillingly prescient.

@@robinlillian9471 have you watched sunday's episode? Multi doctor moments...

Tom Baker was my favourite when I was a kid. So when I heard his voice I got goosebumps and teary. I can remember reading comments on FB after it aired, I wasn't the only one who had that reaction

@@kimwallace5729 I cried. It was wonderful to see him again.

I had a tom doll and TARDIS u put him in.. press lsmp on top and it spin press red the doors open he's gone...press green spins ,opens, he's back..loved it.

_-reveals Gallifrey still exists_ _-shushes eleven_ _-refuses to elaborate_

When I heard Tom voice my jaw dropped I like the idea of the doctor visiting a few old faces imo you could do a season out it something happens and he keeps changing to old faces but only an episode or 2 depending on who it is and tbh their health guys like Tom, sylvester etc.. due to age etc just the one but David , Smith, capaldi, a return for Christopher and McCann give him an episode see what he can really do with better writers and maybe Davidson could do a couple but I would make sure Tennant changed to Davidson so Peter could make some kind of sly joke at David expense just because of that family connection they have

Fortunately, the Doctor is more than adept at weaponizing paradoxes. (seriously, pay attention and you'll realize they do it all the damn time. The Bootstrap Paradox is a favorite of his; getting crucial information from his future self who only knows it because he watched *his* future self do it back when he was the "current" doctor and thus the information has no real source)

It's a timey wimey thing

@@user-fn6bm4yf7v Close enough

meeting the others times lords form the past was the 2 and 3 had wars and battle of each others too,

I mean even though they are young they have general memories of all past incarnations so they are more experienced by default and inexperienced at all at once

Moffat specifically modeled Day of the Doctor moreso on the Three Doctors (and the 2nd and 3rd's dynamic) than say the Five Doctors.

"Fancy pants." "Scarecrow!"

Mmm I don't like it

Imagine 4th and 5th relationship

10 and 11 are probably the most childish doctors

He was such a favorite he regenerated into Tennant 3 times if you also count the Metacrisis Duplicate.

Great balls of fire!!

hopefully Matt Smith could also be regenerated to at some point!

david ten-inch

@@harlowjademermaid1882 oh god i did not see this coming. didn’t see her coming either

And Richard Hurndall before him. I always thought he was underrated.

Honestly just the writing let it down

He certainly did a better job than Hurndall.

Old age lol

its entirely explained that when time crosses paths like this theres a certain amount of amnesia, or of course the past version would remember for when the future version meets them!

@@pemo2676 Yes, that is a very clever way the writers have chosen to be able to incorporate multiple Doctors at once into a story. Otherwise it would be pointless and there would be no suspense, as the current incarnation would know exactly when they would encounter the previous incarnation and exactly what happened/is going to happen from their point of view. So whatever problem they are trying to solve or enemy they are facing, the current Doctor would simply just know when their previous incarnation turns up and how it all turns out. I suppose in a way it's a form of the Bootstrap Paradox i.e a time loop. Say I'm a time traveller and at age 30 I want to go back in time and tell myself something when I was age 20. Well I'd already know that I'm going to do that and what I say to myself from both points of view, as my 30 year old self would have the memories of my 20 year old self, and my 20 year old self would know that in 10 years time I'm going to do this. In fact if time travel is possible (whether in real life or fiction) and it works on the Bootstrap Paradox principle then from my point of view that would be evidence that there is no free will and everything that ever happens in any point in time is pre-determined. Just like my example above, my 30 year old self would *have* to go back to meet my 20 year old self if that memory exists. There would be no choice about it, that is just something that will always happen and has always happened depending on the time of reference. By coming up with the whole 'memories don't sync when Doctors cross their own timeline' thing then it allows the writers to do all sorts of stuff they couldn't otherwise. And the fact that the Doctor has multiple forms from his regenerations each with their different little traits and personalities makes it a whole lot more interesting when they do have meetings of multiple Doctors. I don't think they ever explain why these memories don't sync, it could have been explained as something to do with regeneration but there have been stories where it's been the same Doctor interacting with himself from different points in time and the memories only sync up when the meeting actually happens. So I think it just is a quirk of the physics of time travel in the Dr Who universe, at least with Time Lord tech. Although to be fair they haven't always been consistent with the physics/constraints of time travel - sometimes we get stories that use the Bootstrap Paradox/time loop and other times we get stories where 'time can be rewritten'. The latter can result in time travellers having knowledge of multiple timelines; if they go back in time to change something and return to the time they left then things may be different but they would remember the original timeline too. Throw something like a Time War into the mix and things get really confusing, the poor Doctor would have memories and knowledge of so many different timelines but also due to the memory syncing limitation, also potentially not know about a timeline he was involved in like not knowing he saved Gallifrey and believing he was responsible for its destruction until he gets to the relevant incarnation.

@@lukebarkermusic skimmed through this analysis - GREAT stuff. GOD i love fans like this

@Pemo Appreciate the kind words. I wouldn't even consider myself a big Dr Who fan though, I just find time travel completely fascinating (and mind boggling!) so I really pay attention when a Dr Who story uses it in a creative way.

Let's hope we get to see it again soon 😉

@@DriverHenryWho3245 It looks like the 60th won't be a multi doctor special which is really disappointing. It looks like it's just a 10th Doctor special

You never know...

Death's Head needs to arrest every Doctor after 8 & put them in the Tenebrous Cells, Then put them all on trial for crimes against the stability of the Omniverse by orders of the Omniversal Majestrix, If you ask me.

Sorry thinking out loud.

A lot of math symbols are greek letters

It’s not my favorite or anything but it’s quite nice, plenty of great moments like the Sontaran’s theme

Definitely one of the more underrated classic era stories for sure, and the score was a big part of that.

Agreed

Awful, awful episode, tragic waste of Troughton and Hines. Nothing more than a propaganda piece for the veggie brigade. Jacqueline Pearce was much better as Servalan in Blake's 7

@@Neil070 they were talking about the soundtrack, not the episode

Also I bet that 12 went and did that immediately after his debut episode, choosing his costume too, before coming back to pick Clara. He was so pragmatic-focused at that point I imagine that would be his immediate priority after his memories fully came back.

I agree. he was the reason I started watching Doctor Who. To bad there was no clips from his tenure.

Half a sentence and I knew it was THE Doctor. The definitive, you might say

Tom Baker always had this crazy energy about him. I didn't really feel that same vibe until Matt Smith.

Yes, THE Doctor

As I understand, Tom still holds the record for having played the doctor the longest, not counting reappearances in later specials.

I read that before the 20th anniversary, they both wrote to the BBC and said they'd LOVE to recreate their Doctors. Glad the BBC took them up on it!

Warcrimes by the bickersons !

Yeah, they could actually act. Makes a big difference.

Hello Sweetie.

so true that is very very true

The very same Doctor makes a similar remark in The Five Doctors upon seeing how Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart has has his office redecorated!

@@michaelpuglisi6767 "So this is your replacement! Yes well, mine was pretty unpromising, too ... "

That's why 11 says "he always says that"

I'd recommend Big Finish. John Hurt did some war doctor stories for them

@@JediNerd818 Don"t know Big Finish. An audiobook company?

@@nitehork2796 Figured I'd jump in, Big Finish IS an audiodrama company. They have a few boxsets of John Hurt as the Doctor and, when he passed, they started doing stories about the War Doctor in his early days with an actor called Johnathon Carley.

He's dead Jim.

​@@dazzwsmithHe ain't dead... he is immortal. He will ALWAYS be the War Doctor, as well as many other roles. John is a legend. Miss you dude....

You have officially earned the title of Dr yourself.

Absolutely brilliant, glad you’re on the journey with use.

@beef business I think everyone in the cinema I was at gasped too!

I jumped and shouted

I'm jealous. People barely reacted in the cinema I was at. However, the "no sir, all thirteen!" was a big hit.

Basically lots of grown men cried

Sadly, I wasn't a Whovian yet, when the 50th came out. My sis was and tried to explain to me how the great John Hurt was playing the Doctor. She tried to explain the whole concept of his being there and I was like, "Uh, duh.... I don't get it."

The same here. Tom Baker made me a Whovian. We had moved to a new state and the closest antenna broadcast of PBS had Dr. Who on the weekends. This was 1982. So I'd adjust my ariels and watch on a 13" black & white Phillips TV.

That scene was so touching, the subtle wink and smile, added with the dialogue was MAD respect to everything. It was authentic.

Eh. Tom baker was the 4th. Doctor. NEVER THE ORIGINAL,,,,,,

I love hartnells the most

😠

Yeah, talk about 12 Doctor everything you want, but he has THE BEST eyebrows of all Doctors!XD And the CREEPIEST smile......

Love that you got that moment, wish I did. I would have screamed. But alas, I didn't even know who he was :(

Did you know Tom Baker had an interesting part in Canterbury Tales, 1972 version I think. Standing naked washing himself in a tub while 2 old ladies watched through a keyhole.

Baker was in 'The 5 Doctors'- granted they used clips from the never-finished 'Shada', But he was in it.

@@mdbruffy Exactly. He didn't come back to be part of the multi-Docfor story.

from 4 if you go to 14 its ten and david tennant is the 10th so- idk just made that connection reading ur comment haha

@@MillionX157 Also if thats the future doctor then we kinda know he'll never die because he lived to retire 🤯

How right you were 💞💞💞💞💞😁😍😀🐨🇦🇺🦘👍.

didn't realize it was 4th

You "missed that" because it very obviously wasn't the plan when the 50th was written

If you can cope with the pace (do your best not to binge because serial shows are hard to watch like that), 4th doctor is amazing. Also recommend 7th doctor because an ungodly amount of lore from nuwho is because of things he did.

Which is ironic because the reason he only stayed for one season is BECAUSE he didn’t want to be known as the doctor, or at least have it as his only well known role.

​@@Stormkrow280wasn't it because of the poor treatment of the production team?

I loved Christopher, thought he was brilliant. He and Rose brought my daughter into the fold

​@@eireannspooner4049you conceived whilst watching Dr. Who is both epic and wild.

@ALEXANDERATTACK not conceived during dr who, lol, she got into the show then. Who has sex whilst watching the doctor? On second thoughts, please don't answer that.

In the Eighth Doctor Adventures Stranded 4: The Keys of Baker Street it is confirmed the Curator is a future incarnation of the Doctor

@@daniel.t.h. There's even a Doctor Who book that says it... But... I think they are trying to throw us off the scent.

Stuff recently got weird.

@@jarrarwinks8470 with 10 being 14? I know. But I also think that was by design. Neil Patrick Harris is playing the Celestial Toymaker. It possible that while Jodie was regenerating, the Toymaker brought the 10th out to play. It's going to involve Donna who should not ever remember her adventures and Wilf. The first thing he noticed was the teeth. Like when 10. I think this is 10 reborn for the Celestial Toymaker to play with.

A fez

@@Goat4459 Fezzes are cool.

Am I a time lord? Because those other replies are my words exactly

I doubt it, the only era the 60th seems to want to celebrate is the RTD era. Still hoping for multiple specials with multiple doctors from different eras, like an 8th doctor story and some classic doctors.

Who knows? Who NOSE?

@@charlestownsend9280 ye part from Rachel talalay the 60th is just a RTD special which I don’t mind

@@DigitalCrate I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't an anniversary special, as anniversary specials are meant to celebrate the whole show not just one small era of the show. Of it was part of the anniversary and we get separate specials with other doctors I wouldn't mind it but anniversary just focusing in the returning showrunner's era just doesn't work for me, it feels more like the anniversary got highjacked by one showrunner who wants to relive solely their greatest hits at the expanse of the rest of the shows history. Not to mention it's probably the last time that we can have several of the remaining classic doctors appear, so I'll just be watching and thinking about how with two anniversary specials with new who and both of them completely wasted the opportunity to use any of the classic era doctors while they could, so much wasted potential because the showrunner wanted to do a greatest hits of his own era instead. If anything I'm viewing 13's last episode more as the anniversary because it actually seems to be more like an anniversary special and celebrating different eras of the show with companions from various eras returning not just one.

@@charlestownsend9280 Yeah u make a good point,let’s just hope that something will get announced to do with other eras

@@bookcollector538 I'm speaking from the point of view of those who were there in 1963, a d saw him for the first time. Although I understand what you mean. A bit like experiencing the Beatles for the first time in '63, nothing Macca does now can compare to crashing in of the Beatles at first hand. I was there for both Amazing experiences.

@@bookcollector538 depends on how much temporal energy is given and taken when plucking him from his own timestream into the future, For all we know that effects works like if you pulled your 4 year old self with the same knowledge you would have being over 100 years old.

@@Enkide it was wonderful being 4 years old and listening to Elvis!! 😀👍👍🎶🎶

The Valeyard spectaculation (?)

I'm from the future and you were right on the money 👍

Rose and 1st doctor, when did this happen?

@@Exit911YT how can you pretend it don’t exist when you’re replying to it?

Such a good scene when Rose Tyler and first Docta are togeda

The 1st Doctor? You mean the War Doctor? Who is between 8th and 9th?

I'd be cool with that, so far ut just being a 10th doctor RTD special is just disappointing and annoying. I'd love to see the 8th doctor, maybe with Charlie or lucie as their companion (celebrating the franchise in other mediums like audio), 7 and ace, 6 and Perry, 5 and adric, 4 and romana or leela. Even three specials, 10, 8 and a classic doctor would be great.

@@charlestownsend9280 I think we’d see 8, 10, 11 and 12. Followed by 14 as the anniversary episode. A week of specials like Torchwood: Miracle Day.

@@charlestownsend9280 It's been leaked that it's 3 specials

He’s not confirmed as the Toymaker though, right? That’s rumour.

@@1978rharris It's not confirmed but he was seen in a Toymaker outfit for the promotional picture, a redesgined toyshop (literally made for the set) was seen on set... If he's not the Celestial Toymaker, I'd be surprised

Man, I wish I knew who he was at the time. Before the 50th, I'd only watched the show occasionally if I happened to catch it. Hearing that voice after all these years, I would have screamed. I'm glad you got to have that moment :) (Definitely should be Sir Tom)!

Pretty sure he’s an ardent republican so it won’t ever be Sir Tom

@@SusannaEmily British ppl have republicans???

@@kw8671 replublican with a small 'r' = someone who dislikes the concept of monarchy and would rather have an elected head of state. Not the same as American Republicans who support the Republican party

@@kw8671 republican in the UK just means anti-monarchy

You must really love it now

That's why if the 60th is just an RTD 10th doctor special it will disappoint me. I'd at least like one classic doctor, 8 (cause he needs more screen time) and if it must be 10 then 10 or another new who doctor, like 12.

I’d love Colin Baker, Bonnie Langford and Ruth Madeley in the 60th because they’ve all worked with Russel and they’re my favourite TARDIS Team.

4 would need to have a sitting down role like he did in Dimensions in Time as Tom Baker struggles to move now. Other than that there really aren't many difficulties.

There was a rumor that 5 6 & 7 might briefly appear in the centenary special this year, considering they were all seen staying near filming locations earlier this year IDK how truthful it is but we can dream.

@@wilfordbrimleyful I have a reliable source which says it's true

It's a shame it was ruined

@@username.exenotfound2943 Bc of the Timesless Child? Yeah, I hope it is written out.

I think, *EVERYONE!* And, augh. I wish 13 Doctor haven`t existed, her seasons breaking canon so much.

Tv history

Unfortunately Christopher Eccleston has stated that he never truly "felt" like the Doctor. Long story short, being the Doctor left a sour taste in his mouth. He's recently come back for Big Finish Audio Dramas, but will likely, and unfortunately, never be seen on screen again. While he may not realize that he basically brought Doctor Who back in full force, having David Tennant basically overshadow Eccleston's performance in Series 1, it may be a personal issue

a real shame. First time I watched it I really fell in love with tennant but after a rewatch I can't decide which one of the two I liked more.@@AvidGaymer42

​@@AvidGaymer42A personal issue and an issue with the writing and direction, apparently; in more recent interviews and/or convention panels, he's said he'd only consider coming back if it was a story about his Doctor alone (he doesn't like the multiple Doctor stories). And now he's said he'd consider coming back if they got rid of Russell T. Davies and other folks. Seeing as RTD is supposed to be the showrunner for however many seasons out of the 15th's era...yeah, we're probably never gettin' 9 back onscreen.

what surprised me is that neither of them started jockeying for who got to be the dandy and who ended up as the clown. missed their chance on that one. lol

Sorry if you like 13s story. But this is why chibnall shouldn’t be the writer, he can’t explain what he writes.

I mean, time travel

Either that or lazy plotting. Would have made more sense to have a locked wardrobe covered with a dust sheet, with a buzz to it and a key attached to a fob watch. Then have Ruth inexplicably drawn to it, with them entering and see a retro console room

It could have been visually. The fact they look older doesn't matter because The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors and Time Crash all have Doctors looking older.

@@jellybabiesarecool4657 I think they even explained it somewhere as the younger incarnations aging due to them existing in the same place. But it never bothered me, it's just a limitation of filming a show over decades and I just ignore it and enjoy seeing past doctors again for one more adventure.

I saw a rumor once that they were going to get the surviving Doctors to do a voiceover for that scene but Colin said no because he wanted more for them to do. Obviously might be bollocks but it does line up with what's happened in the past with The Dark Dimension in the 90's, you had Colin and Peter being upset they were essentially cameos in a Fourth Doctor story.

@@Telos1807 At least they got to do the Five(Ish) Doctors - which was very funny and nostalgic

Ten is more of a Gentleman through to clara so the war doctor who was blamed but didnt actually destroyed galifrey

@@kriegermaria9923 what?

@@obiwankenobi687 what indeed am i confusing you its not like a speak hyroglphs

@@kriegermaria9923 what you said doesn’t make sense and doesn’t actually relate anywhere to my comment. You’re talking about ten and the war Doctor? What’s that got to do with eleven phoning Clara

@@obiwankenobi687 they trust clara as much as 11 did 11 Phoning clara was because she didnt trust 12 at first

I mean, that's always been the case; everything is canon, until they say it is not.

I just view it as She's a "The Doctor" from a parallel universe. That's why 13 doesn't remember regenerating into that other woman because that's the Doctor but not with 13's cycle of faces.

Yes, John Hurt was a genius. I forget he is gone and wonder why we do not see him any more. Still, I'm a Tom Baker fan first for Dr. Who.

Right?
