The Doctors Reunite - Doctor Who - The Five Doctors - BBC 

"You're hardly a suitable candidate." "For anything!" ....*runs for Prime Minister and wins*

It’s hilarious how the youngest version of the Doctor bosses himself around.

When Tegan - the current companion - meets Sarah Jane she acts friendly and introduces herself. When Rose does it she acts all jealous.

After 50 years and having gone through 11 doctors, hos personality hasn't changed one bit. I love it.

"It was like a cross between Guy Fawkes and Halloween."

There is something so very satisfying about seeing the Brigadier clock the Master like that. You can't help but watch and go, oh hell yeah. Give it to em, old chap.

I remember watching this on PBS as a little kid! I had so much fun, this brings back memories.

Here is a fun fact for those that don't know. Patrick Troughton the second Doctor or the one they refer to as the little one in this clip. His son David appears in the David Tennant season 4 episode "Midnight"

I hope in the 60th anniversary we get actual bantering and not admiring , i'd love calpaldi (if he's in it) to be argumentive to the others wish we had doctor chemistry like this on screen again :(

“They’ll get it all wrong without me”

YOu see that is why I love the Brigadier. We miss you Nicholas. Rest in peace.

I LOVE THE CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO,LOVE,LOVE AND LOVE

I never noticed before The Brigadier punches the Master the Third Doctor gets a kick in. I bet that was all Jon's idea.

This means more than we know and can be adapted in many ways. = DOCTOR WHO

Patrick Troughton: is afraid of type casting and takes only 3 seasons also Patrick Troughton: Takes every opportunity to return to the role

"What happened to the Little Fellow?" LOL "The 'Little Fellow' is perfectly allright, thank you very much!"

I hate to say this ...But there is a very old Scottish recipe called "Fish Custard". It is, basically, poached smoked haddock baked in a savoury egg custard. Served with new potatoes and veg it is absolutely delicious. My old mum used make this regularly when I was a child.

ive seen the 5 doctors at a friends house NO ONE CAN ESCAPE THE TRIANGLES MUHAHAHAHAHA

I'm currently watching this on VHS tape proper old school, just thought I'd come watch a clip of it on here and read some comments about it, bored in lockdown 🙂

I agree but the actor in the clip above (The Five Doctors) playing the first doctor isn't William Hartnell; it is Richard Hurndall. William Hartnell sadly died a few years before so they used Hurndall as a replacement.

They cast another man as the First Doctor because Mr. Hartnell was gone. They cast a completely different human being to play the First Doctor just so they could have the character appear for the 20th anniversary. Would it really have been too much work to make a CGI replica of Chris Eccleston appear just for less than a minute for Hurt's regeneration scene in the 50th?

It's a shame there's so little interaction between the Doctors in the story. The first Doc' gets a scene or two in the Tardis with Five, but as it's not Hartnell, it's hard to get too excited about that. And Two and Three have a little bants when they get to the tower, but barely speak to Five at all.

Richard Hurndall as the first Doctor, Tom Baker could not make the filming so the used clip form the unfinished story called Sharda

@CelesteK Tom Baker wasn't "in" this one, and was represented by stock footage. Peter Davison wasn't in this scene, he was on Gallifrey getting hypnotised by Borusa.

I wonder when we are able to see five doctors together on screen again

The inscription wasn't made by Rassilon - it was carved into the stone by the Time Lords who rose up and imprisoned him in the crypt as punishment for his tyranny.

1:58 The only time the Doctors name appears on screen in the TV show

Tegan had legs to die for. Wow!!!

So basically time lords speak math

The "oldest doctor" is the youngest and the "youngest doctor" is the oldest

The 3.5 Doctors.

Interesting. Haven't watched this for ages but there's some dialogue here that isn't in my vhs version. Will have to rebuy!

Old High Gallifreyan language is calculus? That... actually makes sense.

I love that the First Doctor refers to the Fifth as 'the young fellow' even though he's technically the younger one. 😄

Ahh, the Brigadier, the only person to both punch and shoot the Master/Missy.

3:40 How many years had then Brigadier been waiting to deck the Master like that. Talk about enjoyable moments.

3:38 I like how Lethbridge-Stewart was slowly creeping behind him and the Third Doctor knew his plan so he approached and kicked the weapon off of the Master.

“Which one’s yours?” Quite clever dialogue.

I love this scene. The Brigadier commiserating as “one of the girls”.

"They get it all wrong without me" Oh silly old universe, capaldi remembered him before regeneration.

He punched. The Master. In. The Face. Wow.

As always, the brigadier is there to get things done.

It must have been really painful for Jon Pertwee to see someone else playing the role of the Master.

The brigadier punching the master is epic.

How sad that the only actor still living from this scene is Janet Fielding who is currently battling cancer. All the others are unfortunately gone.......

Love how no matter which regeneration the doctor is always competitive with themself!

Richard Hurndall did an AMAZING job as the first doctor! its a great pity he passed away shortly after this!

Richard Hurndall did a fine job substituting for William Hartnell

I really wish Tom Baker would have been there too.

You have to give Hurndall some credit! He was the best they had at the time, and did his best! No two people are exactly the same, and Hurndall was awesome as the Doctor! Shame he had to do someone else's Doctor!!

My last 3 braincells solving a Professor Layton riddle.

1:07 I love how the second Doctor just pushes past the other two like he's the Boss. Lol.

Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, Richard Hurndall, Nick Courtney, Anthony Ainley and Lis Sladen all now sadly gone - but we have gems like this to remember them by - thanks for sharing! :-)

That was gratifying, seeing some of the Doctors together. Even more gratifying was the Brigadier taking out the Master.

First Doctor to the Master: If you shoot me, I'll just turn into him (points to Second) Second: And if you shoot ME, I'll just turn into HIM (points to Third) Third: And if you shoot ME, I'll just turn into...well, he's not here right now but he's got an awfully long scarf.

Having recently watched Sacha Dhawan's incarnation of The Master insulting the Brigadier to his daughter, it's great to be reminded how he developed the grudge.

"There is another bit written at the bottom here." "Ello Sweetie." "What does it mean?"

Second Doctor's friendship with the Brigadier as well as his squabbling with Third Doctor are just adorable to the max 💙

RIP Richard Hurndall (November 3, 1910 - April 13, 1984), aged 73 RIP Jon Pertwee (July 7, 1919 - May 20, 1996), aged 76 RIP Patrick Troughton (March 25, 1920 - March 28, 1987), aged 67 RIP Nicholas Courtney (December 16, 1929 - February 22, 2011), aged 81 RIP Elisabeth Sladen (February 1, 1946 - April 19, 2011), aged 65 You will be remembered as legends.

Oh, sooo good to see my beloved Patrick Troughton again - best doctor Who ever!

"See, this here is the tomb of that guy who achieved immortality!" "...Um... waitaminit."

Pertwee tends to get overlooked a bit but he had great presence, as you can see here. Unreasonably good hair too, for a man his age.

The inscription says "Hello Sweetie" with coordinates to find and get River Song out of trouble as usual.

The five Doctors really had their normally infinite patience tested in this scene. The flippin' TV director just couldn't seem to make his mind up about which angle to shoot certain scenes from. Added to which, the BBC Floor Manager had a very irritating habit of repeating the same damn phrase every single time a new shot was being set up. "Settle down now everyone!" Bloody hell! In the twenty years of working at the sharp end in many a television studio in England I never once heard a floor manager use such words to the actors or to the crew! If you watch the outtakes of this scene you can see Jon Pertwee getting increasingly agitated by the constant long pauses in the middle of the takes. If it had been me playing the part, I would have been sorely tempted to insist that the floor manager either changes his tune immediately or I walk off the floor until all of them can sort themselves out! Struth!

1:07 Love how the 2nd Doctor just barges in.

Awesome at the end! Go Lethbridge-Stewart! May the character and the actor Nicholas Courtney rest in peace too.

Did anyone notice that the Third Doctor kicked that device out of The Master's hand before he was knocked out by Brigadier Stewart?

"What kept you?" "What kept me? Of all the confounded arrogance..."

Wow. Richard Hurndall actually makes a really good First Doctor.

The Brigadier really was the Lestrade to the doctors Sherlock

its sad that so many of patrick troughtons episodes were lost. the surviving episodes of his doctor really show how much he put into the role. william hartnell started the role, but if patrick didnt succeed as the second incarnation we could have never had other great doctors like tom baker, peter davidson, david tennant, matt smith.....

1:55 The doctor's:What does it say? ''Hello Sweetie'' XD

I would love a small series with the first three doctors like this. I enjoyed this little part so much

I wish it would happen in new series more frequently. It would be great to see 10th, 11th and 12th reunite with Jodie.

I love how self-centered the First 3 are xD

Is it just me or does Old High Gallifreyan look a lot like greek.

0:41 Tegan and Sara? Like , the band?

I'd love a new 5 Doctors story with 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

Lis Sladen was so hot. Even hotter in the RTD years.

I’v just noticed when the third doctor sees the brigadier he says ‘lethbridge stewart? Oh my dear fellow, how nice to see you again’ which is exactly what he says in spearhead from space when he first sees him..

Godamnit this episode would have been boss if Tom Baker had returned!

0:27. First Doctor: What kept you? Third Doctor: What kept me? Of all the confounded arrogance. Lol

When the brigadier has had enough of your shit. Makes the part later with Missy hilarious in hindsight.

Sarah Jane and Tegan's stereo "Brigadier?" still gets to me, all these years later.

"What does the inscription say?" "Bad Wolf."

One thing to note to fans of the new series looking back at this. The first Doctor, despite looking the oldest is the youngest (as by the name) Doctor, the line "running around acting all old and important" is a nod that in fact the first Doctor is kind of a brat, and now think of it, how all the other Doctors are looking at him, in reality as the little know-it-all kid in the room.

Nice to see you again, knocks out the Master Classic Brig, R.I.P.

the moment when 11 gets phoned and told that the brigadier died is the saddest for me, because they were such good friends. never a companion yet he knew the doctor longer than any other companion sans clara and river.

Just when I thought Day of the Doctor had a lot of Doctors...

Lethbridge-Stewart decking the Master... priceless

The second doctor will always be my favorite.

This must of been such an amazing special when it came out on TV, still feels amazing too me. Eccleston was my first Doctor and seeing the older doctors together is amazing. Hope for more reunions in future eps after 50th special.

0:44 Hey, look! It's Tegan and Sara! ("EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!")

"It says... Hello, Sweetie"

2:46 Classic Troughton, god that brings back memories.

Sarah Jane is so cute....

1:37 Three just nudges Two out of the way, along with a “Move.” to boot. 🤣

It was good seeing The Doctors reunited again,along wih some old friends. The Brigadier obviously waited a long time to ko The Master for all the terrible things that he did.

I'm so sorry for what the BBC has done to you.

3:45 Hell of a kick by The Third Doctor
