Wilfred Mott | IF I WAIT HERE LONG ENOUGH... 

That makes me smile more in this vid because as far as I'm concerned people like Wilfred would make my day fantastic

This comment should have more likes.

That’s exactly what I think!

Every bit of him he was!

You made me cry! Sh. Ty

Because Wilf didn't salute him as an officer, he saluted him as a comrade.

And Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart.

And captain jack

Fun fact the actor himself did national service with the Parachute regiment in the late 40's

He lets Jack salute him and he even half heartedly salutes back

The Companion We Deserved, but Never Got. RIP Bernard. o7

The man was a global treasure

The knock 4 times in morse is, V. V for victory

@@Wargwolf91 He was the official companion for The End of Time, I was always very happy to see Bernard Cribbins in the opening titles as the companion. He will always be a companion, and one of the best at that.

@@Wargwolf91 he was the doctors companion in the 1966 movie "daleks invasion earth"

Cant believe hes dead. Such a shame

Wilf should be recognised as a official companion.

@@thanqualthehighseer He is. For The End of Time he was the official companion.

Fuck..i did not even hear or read that he passed..

I came to do the same thing today, Christmas Day. The world feels wrong without him.

Of course, he failed, but it's the fact that he had the balls to try it that counts

@@handlesarecringe957 he was kind like the 12 wanted the Master to be.

@@handlesarecringe957 Anyone have balls for sale? I seem to have misplaced some of mine.. even forgot I had much of them once. Times were long.. I have some left.. and I keep bumping into some of my old ones too recently.. coincidence? Or am I just thankful and respectful of being able and refuse to waste it. It is all for those who are most important anyway in the end, the children.

Too low for a man like him

hey, if it works, it works

Did Bernard cribbins die? It's been a while since I've watched Doctor Who.

@@GatenYT He's still alive and kicking at 90

Bernard cribbins does a good cry.

Honestly broke me 💙

Ray Esparath same

I think the Doctor really did look at Wilf's life with a lot of admiration. The former's an all powerful time lord, but for all his cleverness and accomplishments, it's the latter that's emerged in his old age with a clean conscience and a loving relationship with his granddaughter, two things the Doctor no doubt wishes he could have again.

He also has a funny scarf and takes no shame in the fact he never killed anyone.

That's actually a really fitting parallel now that I think about it, never thought of it that way. Thank you for leaving this comment :)

The Man who Regrets looked at The Man who Loves and saw one day, the man he could be, if he gave it his all. I hope he does. Stars above, I hope he does. 🍀

WHICH EPISODE???? I NEED TO KNOW

@@gabrielmcghie5310 The Lie of the Land... after he defeats the Monks

@@atharvadeshpande6907 cheers bud. Have a great day

Wilf IS that someone. None of the other companions count anymore. Wilf is the One in an infinite amount of beings across the universe

@@notactuallytesco YES, Wilfred "Bloddy" Mott is the Companion don't lie you know it's true

And could he's been more badass? Of course yes^^

and win.

God bless that wonderfull man

Daleks look under their bed for Wilf every night!

The oncoming paintball

I think it's very interesting how each of the early doctor's companions kind of symbolize different relationships. Rose = Partner, Martha = Mother, Donna = Sister, Wilfred = Father. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Wilfred’s older

@@bigben028cards1 Mickey = little brother, he kept forgetting but stilled cared for.

14 was a social justice warrior

14?

the line is "No I didn't, no no i did not. But don't say that like its shameful" he immediately own the fact that he went to war and never killed anyone, and them immediately shames them for suggesting that that fact is something to be ashamed of

@@theirishviking9278 he isn't shaming them. Listen to his voice, he's hurt by the implication because some part of him doubts himself. He's not saying that to her, he's reassuring himself. Judging by his age, he was likely in WW2. When all the soldiers came home and were heralded as heroes for defeating the nazis, he probably was surrounded by men who had stories to tell of how they killed the nazis in the war. Deep down inside him, he feels some form of shame that he didn't do the same, "his duty". And that small shame inside him has been fighting with his morals and principles his entire life, weighing on his conscience. Pride that he stuck true to his morals through the war, and guilt/shame that he may not have done or given enough. We saw this in his character, he salutes the doctor, he acts like he's back in the army when the Master returns. He wants to redeem himself, to himself. Some part of him is ashamed, and he wants to make amends. But the tragedy is, that he has nothing to be ashamed of.

@@alexanderrahl7034 Just touching on a point you said (100% well explained, by the way!): Wilfred was most *definitely* a WW2 vet. There was a clear reference in 'Turn Left' when they were "relocating" the non-English families to "labour camps." Wilfred breaks down, saying "Labour camps; that's what they called them last time." The full realization of what he means by that, is why Donna becomes hysterical, takes chase, and demands to know where the authorities are taking them. Because she knows what Wilfred means by "the last time" - probably with full knowledge that her grandad served and the painful stories of when the truths came out. It is also the reason that Wilfred and Rocco exchange , quiet, pained looks while saying goodbye and salute one other (as seen in this video) - because they both know what was about to happen. Apart from Rocco saying "My Captain" with his salute, and saying nothing else. Most likely, because they did not wish to alarm the young children. They both knew what "labour camp" meant, and they keep it among themselves, until Wilfred's words are heard by Donna. Of course, Rocco would have been too young to have been near the times of WW2 himself, but he quite possibly had family who were effected or devastated by it. Perhaps his own parents, or other relatives, and he must have known that Wilfred was a veteran himself; hence the salute and the calling him of "Captain" - which quite possibly could have been Wilfred's former rank.

:0 omg i got a heart

You had to go and say that didn't you... fuck ....you're right

I agree with ashley fk you Zachary

😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zachary Chenault God damn that hit my heart directly

episode is that from?

@@thewerewolff7248 The chrismas Special, the first part

One of the best lines in all of Whodom, to be honest. This line indicates that Part of the reason Wilf is so proud of his service is because he did his duty without ever having to kill anyone.

I really hate that all of the Wilfred compilations I've found leave out that bit. That is such an important part of his character

Fun fact that was what actually happened to the actor in real life and they worked into the script. Bernard went to war, never shot a man, and is extremely proud of that fact

Sorry but that plaudit goes to the end of Blackadder Goes Forth, from the moment George says I'm scared...

I gotta go with M*A*S*H. "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen".

@@paulharrison2557 Totally agree. I've never forgotten the stunned silence in our house as the poppy field faded to black.

Heck ya

Yes. It truly is the most heart-breaking and yet awesome moment in any tv show I've ever seen.

We love you Bernard rip 🙏 ❤

William Housman Fun Fact: Wilfred Mott was supposed to be just some random guy (he wasn't even originally called Wilfred Mott), but fans loved him so much they worked him into the story as Donna's grandfather

just kind...

It's just that... Just kind

I agree, but Jesus dude, you gotta learn when to use a period.

If I remember correctly, the actor portraying Mott was Supposed to be one of the Drs in old series, but it fell through.

I hope that after you wrote this comment you binged all 12 seasons

BNol11 _ yes please! And if you haven’t, it’s never too late to start. My favorite tv show by far.

@@bnol1115 not series 11. That will put him right off. Just watch 1 - 4.

@@visibletonone.superiortoal2033 why not the 11th and twelfth doctor? I know that their stories arent written very well but they're both essential doctors for any whovian

@@bnol1115 well the up to series 10, but not series 11 or 12. Chibnall made a huge mistake replacing the old writing team with another unexperienced in Sci-fi.

Apart from the first Doctor, they all lived a short time up to then.

@@chrisparkes2179 technically the 11th Doctor lived without regenerating for close to 500 years before he regenerated, and the 12th doctor lived for over 4 billion years in the Time Lord time trap.

@@rodneytrotter3725 well, the confession dial thing doesn't count, because the doctor didn't *continuously* live through all that time.

How do you know only few years

I don’t think 12 actually remembers all 4 billion years in the confessional dial, since he technically “died” each time. Also, I think 11 actually lived closer to 1000 years, as he was still in his 900’s when 10 regenerated, but then says he’s over 2000 after he regenerates into 12

thanqualthehighseer omg he should have been

Kitty Mckenzie yes but then no tom Baker so perhaps it was for the best...

Small Ville wilf is better tho :p

Oh that's why the Doctor and him kept on meeting, he was once the Doctor's possible reincarnation :))))))

He should have been a doctor but at the same time I love all the doctors all 12 of them and the war doctor.

Couldent have said it better myself

@@user-vj8do6ss4b Says the pot to the kettle.

@@user-vj8do6ss4b Can we just agree that it works both ways? The Doctor wouldn't ever want Wilfrid to die, and Wilford didn't want the Doctor to die either.

@@user-vj8do6ss4b Mhm.

Scott Matson geez youre ego

This video didn’t make me cry. This comment did.

WAGWON BLUDTING no not to the shit show it is now let him end as he was a legend

The show isn’t shit it still has its magic it’s just you can’t sense it any more because you just Refuse to

Macauley Winterburn lol what you smocking to make the bad story and actors

I like how you delete your comment lmao

They should have a episode where he's at his deathbed and the current doctor, and the old one, visits him. The old doctor going with his old friend. Going somewhere, somewhere where they both may rest, somewhere among the stars.

I totally agree I couldent stop myself from crying I know this is a bit dark but I'm going to be really sad when the actor for wilfred dies he is my favourite companion

@@gamercore7833. Hope you are coping with today's news. We've lost a great character, a great actor and a wonderful man. A sad day. 💔

What's the first?

@@nicolopiva2811 I Don't Know.

You sir wrote and amazing quote and didn't even realize it one that even transcends that Wich it was written about! "Some times the real companions are the ones left behind to watch and wait, and are not the ones who do the traveling"

Very powerful comment, John S. Thank you.

Papa Hale yeah... Wilfred suffered the most😢

They wont russel t davies has a beef with the actor saying he will never work in tv or flim again

@@MrVavant source for that?

@@MultiversalEditsExtra cast and crew interviewed video

@@MrVavant okay, but have you got the source for that?

@@MultiversalEditsExtra looked it up a 2013 interview with Bernard the vid i watched was false he didnt have a fight far as the 2013 interview should had done more research Srryy ebray

It shows the innocence and selflessness of Wilf and the sacrifice of The Doctor to protect those who do what is right, even though they aren't perfect. If ten had to go, he went out the best way possible.

It was tragic and so well written. He was such a great actor and character..

both were selfless

Prussia The Awesome that's because he used to be a The Doctor ;)

Valkian which one

+Chris Tavers Did Christopher Lee ever appear in this one? I don't mean as Dracula - but maybe as the Master!

"almost father and son" Yeah, that sounds right. It would explain the Doctor throwing a fit in front of Wilfred. "it's not fair!" And then going on about how he's more important, but he does remember to "act his age".

Prussia The Awesome Imagine the quirk fest going on if Wilfred met Matt smiths doctor

Oh yeah 100%. Just every time he and Tennant were on screen together it was something special.

He is the one who truly wait the doctor. The hidden partner of the doctor

I think the exact words do more justice for Wilfred. Wilfred: I did my duty. Time Lady: You never killed a man. Wilfred: No, don't- don't say that like it's shameful!

@@negamewtwo5535 Agreed

I never find those scenes....and i scour every corner of youtube 😢

Wilfred was amazing. One of the characters that all the fans just loved. What a great character he was

@@Lauren-pq3qx even better

Don't forget: Tenth is the man who regrets Eleventh is the man who forgets Just as how he forgot how many children were on Gallifrey, he forgot Willfred.

@@nab4742 He never forgets anyone, he's even said it himself a few times. It's one thing to forgot your past and it's another thing to just ignore it. Numbers is just a different thing all together, I don't think you'll be able to count out each and every one of them off memory.

@@nab4742 that was a show he put on because of the regret that he feels. 11 is trying to forget but he can't. It's said as much during the day of the doctor special.

It would've been so great if they did that and had Matt Smith come back to see Wilfred but on paper it would've though as we know when the doctor regenerates in some ways he is still the same person but physically and kind if mentally they both act very different

why did he even go in there again? It's been a while

@Lord Revan What? He says he's 906 (I think) when he's talking with Wilfred. That seems pretty definite if you ask me.

@Lord Revan "I'm 1200 and something unless I'm lying. I cant even remember if I'm lying that's how old I am." Said the 11th Doctor to the War Doctor in Day of the Doctor.

@@Princess_DYS That's because 11 just forgot everything about him, the fact that he died on Trenzalore and saw his own tomb just really made him accept his death.

@@dogswifty7800 i know that I'm just quoting something that shows that not even the Doctor knows how old he is anymore.

Well mum was a time lord too it seems. Who says she did not travel to Wilfs youth to get herself a baby dad? Where or when she got the male part is anybody's guess, unless it is written somewhere in the canon Darn now i wish someone talented would write a fanfic about that

Wow that would be amazing

Im sobbing 😭 this needs to be an episode

Oh good, the tears have come back

I believe it was confirmed in an episode on Sarah Janes adventures when the Doctor (11) visits Sarah Jane Smith and Jo Grant. He says he checked up on all the people he had traveled with, why not check up on Wilf too?

Wow you brought the water works 🥺

Pretty sure it's a beanie, would've been nice though

Yana beanies are just boneless fez’s

Steeley Gaming he wore a beanie, but it does look like a fez sometimes. But it was a red beanie, so it could be why Eleven wore a red fez.

I’m going to say it’s instinctual.

@@terribletree7933 You have such a way with words.

sanna DEFINITELY the biggest on the inside

Well said.

Which just made the realization that the prophecy was ALWAYS about him hit so much harder. I'd forgotten he KNEW about the prophecy though. I wonder if, after the fact, he realized it himself.

@NateET How was the prophecy for Wilfred?

He knocked 4 times. 10th died.

He wouldn't have complimented any other the way he complimented Tennant.

even River Song was created by Moffat, not Davis. A true shame that such brilliant characters get forgotten about

@@sad_tbh Sorry to throw dirt but I actually hated River Song. I actually preferred the Absorbaloth over her.

Well it's more to do with the fact they changed writers. Series 5+ felt completely different as RTD left.

@@spilltheteaspillthetea Which series had Clara as the impossible girl for a super long boring story arc? I liked Tennant and Smith to a point, but then they had a whole series/ season that focused on Clara.

My first thought was 'Well, he was old so by now he's probably dead.' My second thought was 'Wait, TIME MACHINE!'

Aoife M He was only in his like late 70s. The actor is alive and still kicking at 90 right now, so a cameo is still possible.

Please no. I don't want to see Wilfred with Chibnals dialogue coming out his mouth and trying to play off Jodie. You realise that the reason he is so iconic is that he was well written, played really well off Ten, and was a vital piece of a three season finale. You can't just remove all that and expect it to be anything like it was.

@@horacefairview5349 Fair point, but Bernard Cribbins is a gifted actor.

Lol

If you include the single story companions he was a companion

With Nothing to lose and a family to protect

@@willreiser5487 most dangerous thing in the world

+Russell Peters There's a good military tactic - blind the enemy!

"Will I 'eck!"

MultiDevilduck He's great but his impact is from the way his story started and ended. Having him back could weaken that impact.

unfortunately, he fulfilled the prophecy. His destiny is no longer tied to the Doctor's.

Bernard cribbins wants to come back with Jodie!

Jebidiah Kerbal Oh brilliant. I hope he does. All this "impact" bs is annoying and untrue. Everyone loves him, literally everyone, not just a majority. Even if 13 just runs into him, and he doesn't know it's her, it won't lessen anything, it just makes it better. Just better. And a little sad. But better.

@Winter Wren He is just so wholesome.

@Winter Wren Did you watched Dirk Gently? :)

@Winter Wren both the Uk one and the netflix one? hmm, atm i just watch animes since i dont know what do watch too xD

He actually reminds me of my uncle. Hes got the same life in his eyes and fire in his heart. I hope I can live up to his example

The parts where he salutes really portray that perfectly, he's a soldier and he shows respect in the most masculine of ways and yet he isn't afraid to love, to cry and basically to feel. Ahhhh what a perfect man

Good writers and directors put everything in for a reason. Chibnall on the other hand hasn't fought that far ahead.

Even if only for one episode...

@@visibletonone.superiortoal2033 Chibnall has a very specific method of writing episodes. First, he gathers up 1000 clippings of rough drafts of Classic Who episode transcripts, then he throws 6 darts at them. Whatever they land on is what the episode itself is about. Then he gets 500 tumblr suggestions, throws one single dart at them, and whatever IT lands on is the twist or reveal of that episode. For story arcs he takes a shit on his desk while doing the mambo and whatever word it looks most like is the over-arching theme of the arc.

Thank you!
