Tardises would likely be the best. You never make a word plural by adding an apostrophe to it. An apostrophe either indicates possessive OR a contraction, not a plural. You can make a possessive ending in s slightly shorter though: "The Tardis' color is blue" Meaning the Tardis possesses a blue color.

Too bad Smith didn't do a full series with Jenna Coleman. They didn't get enough of a chance to play off of each other and establish a better connection between 11 and Clara. A full series would have helped fans gravitate more to them as well since most think Clara worked better with 12 than 11. Pity.

2nd Clara and 11th were great, they only did one episode. 1st Clara was also fantastic. But the Clara that continued wasn't as great. Every companion in NuWho had way too much powerful depiction in the series, but for Clara it felt a bit overkill, Moffat built the character in a way that it undermined the Doctor sometimes. Thank God it was Capaldi who stole every scene where he was allowed to shine, otherwise, that would've been a disaster.

Pertwee, aged 70, did reprise the role on the stage. There was a short run in 1989 (15 years after he'd left the TV series) which I was lucky enough to see in Wimbledon, London. One of the best lines from the play was when Pertwee said of the Daleks, "amazing they got to be so powerful with just a toilet plunger." Although clearly not his younger self, he needed a little help, it was a really fun production and very well received.
@@edwardgribbins7175 Capaldi was a great doctor and he played it really well. I just did not love Clara that much. And that is why I prefer Matt's run. Clara and especially her boyfriend didn't work for me. He was very good though.
If you have seen Capaldi in the first seaon of the Musketeers, and then Capaldi in the 8th season of Doctor Who, you can tell that Capaldi clearly didn't like the writing. The difference between the two Capaldi is glaring.
@@davidlacoste I've never understood the whole PC wasn't happy with the writing thing. He's worked with Moff since and always been really complimentary of him & what they did together. But equally, he looks like death warmed up anytime anyone asks him about the show or coming back. I always get the feeling something happened at the BBC along the lines of they wanted to recast or something because they didn't like him/the ratings & he's always just kept it quiet. He made a lot of comments at the time he left about how he was worried about people affecting BBC budgets & impartiality, which always felt like veiled digs at higher ups IMO. Real shame because he's my absolute fave, I love those 3 series.
For many of them, actor's can get bored staying too long in the same part, they want to be challenged and go on to do other things. While 'three seasons' has become something of a norm, and credited to Patrick Troughton, but Troughton was a very well respected character actor before Doctor Who and quickly became one again after Doctor Who. Tom Baker might be synonymous with the character, but he really never did much afterward as he was in the role for so long (and it was well known by the time he left that he had become extremely difficult to work with). He's done a lot of voice work but his career never really recovered on film, his one big thing I can thing of is that he plays Puddleglum (magnificently) in the BBC adaption of The Silver Chair. I think only Matt Smith was a relative unknown when he was cast in the role, even Peter Davison was in two other TV shows at the same time. None of the other actors have really been big stars, but pretty well known and respected character actors with a good body of work and there is to some degree an urge to get back to that and not get typecast, overstay their welcome, or end up disliking the job.
If you're counting all tbe Doctors, you missed the war doctor, John Hurt. He was in only 3 episodes, but he was an official Doctor who got a regeneration scene.
We hear a lot about how William Hartnell was “no spring chicken” or whatever but he was born in January 1908 so actually played the part in his mid-fifties. His illness, arteriosclerosis, was what deprived him of his memory - sad to reflect he was only in his mid sixties when he actually died.
I've also heard that Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi wanted to do other projects and Doctor Who was getting in the way of that, as well as that Smith and David Tennant have both said they felt they could've played The Doctor forever.
@@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq that when scripts getting terrible and money fx stuff starting to get photo real, but hanging around on a sinking ship when there passing one in easy reach, who would not jump, and more money to most of the time too?
Peter Capaldi wasn’t the only Doctor to appear previously on the show before becoming the Doctor. Colin Baker played Commander Maxil, on Gallifrey during Peter Davison’s reign.
Before Cardiff, it was BBC studios, then later everywhere and a Surrey quarry. There is a tale, not sure if it's an urban myth that Dr Who was filming at one end of a quarry and Blake's Seven at the other. I should imagine that all those dangerous places... remember Tom Baker broke a bone on location once, must have taken their toll.
i think its true. i saw an interview with gareth thomas where he says they were filming in one part of a quarry when they were distracted by a lot of noise and when they went over to see it was the crew of doctor who also filming.
Yeah, that was why, whenever he was unconscious in a scene, he always had one leg bent at the knee as that lessened the pain of lying on a hard floor. Apparently, Roger Delgado was one of the few people who could "pop" his back right again. It wasn't unusual to walk into the canteen and see Perwee face down on the floor, Delgado standing over him with one foot in the small of his back and pulling both arms back by the wrists.
Tom Baker played the part perfectly with the right alien qualities. He made you think he was a cosmic being having adventures in time and space. Tennant was an overrated actor who portrayed the Doctor like a space playboy picking up Earth girls all the time. Tom > Tennant.

Capaldi and Whitaker seemed longer but that's because the showmakers decided to make less episodes and take extraordinarily long breaks between seasons. And while Matt Smith has said he's open to returning (assuming his work on House of the Dragon will allow it) he has said if he could he'd come back as the Master rather than the Doctor.
Hi Just to infrom you that sadly Michael Jayston aka The Valeyeard and utterly wonderful man has just passed away. Perhaps a small tribute video might be considered as he was by most considered the best thing in Season 23 and there is delighful footage of him on the box set feature where he, Colin, Nicola and Bonnie chat over lunch. This below from the Big Finish site. There is a lengthy piece/tribute worth reading and his long association with DW and more. Michael Jayston 1935-2024 5 February 2024 Tags : Stop PressDoctor Who - The Sixth Doctor AdventuresDoctor Who - The Eighth Doctor AdventuresDoctor Who - Unbound All at Big Finish were saddened to learn of the death of actor Michael Jayston, who passed away earlier today aged 88. From me a fan: A real loss not just within DW but for everyone he made smile and laugh. RIP
My old friend Gerry Davis - co-creator of the Cybermen and the script editor at the time of the first “renewal” - was quite clear about what happened to Hartnell. He was sacked/let go for being “difficult”. Bill had wanted to stay - there’s a version of the script for TP4 that doesn’t include the transformation. The whole invisible section of Toy Maker was also planned as a possible change of actor. The Doctor regains his visibility but looks different. Tom was sacked for being drunk and difficult. Facts: Really not as tricky as they seem.
Then what about his illnesses? An Adventure In Space and Time showed both Hartnell being ill but how he didn't want to leave, even if he did state that Troughton was a good replacement.
@@joshuacurphey3242 Likely the official reason was for the illness, looks good for PR and all that, and better for Hartnell when he went back to theatre than if they said he was difficult.
@@joshuacurphey3242 He was ill... but not so ill he couldn't do a theatre season. His absence from a 10th Planet episode was down to him drinking himself "ill" - the boozing was a result of his displeasure of being fired.
Chris's Doctor was my favorite. He was dark. The show could have gone into a completely different direction, if stories brought out that darkness. But it's a kid show.
No it's not! It's for everyone. I still like watching the old shows as an aging adult and my dad liked watching it with me in the 70's. How can it be a kid's show when a lot of the stuff it churns out now is hard edged and annoyingly serious such as Homosexuality, racism, political correctness. it was more fun to watch before it turned into this crap. If it was a children's show before it's a political one now!
Perhaps my UK friends can tell me if i'm wrong, but what i heatd on Colin Baker was that, yes, he was asked back for the one show, but in UK television, you sign on for a season before, so if he did one Dr. Who episode, he would not have been available for other shows, essentially giving up a whole season of work/pay!
He'd asked his agent about tge possibility of doing a whole season, but it was made clear that that was not an option. The BBC wanted him to do one episode with the regeneration part way through. He offered to come back for one story. He wanted to give his Doctor a decent send off. It was refused and he refused to return. Source: Colin Baker at a Doctor Who event I went to about ten years ago.
Jon Pertwee said in an interview he mainly left Dr Who as he wanted to play Worzel Gummage, a dream character role he always said he wanted to do. Still think Tom Baker was the definitive Doctor though.
yewt how many times did Whitaker threaten to quit the show after all the bad press and mean tweets? She did it at the end of each season she had, it seems.
There’s a channel called The Who Look who did a video about this exact thing 7 days ago. This video on WhoCulture already has many tens of thousands more views than that video does. I don’t want to accuse this channel of skimming views from smaller channels by using their ideas right when they gain some popularity. However, the timing doesn’t look good. As a smaller channel myself, I do take this very seriously. Maybe I’m wrong and that channel is somehow connected to this one. However, could you guys please respond to this and offer any more insight if it’s there?
During the sixties, the series ran for 48 weeks a year. Hartnell's health briefly improved after leaving. Following a rest period he was able to complete a run in a stage play. An interview with him when he was in the play shows him to be sharp as a tack. It also shows just how different the character he built up for the Doctor was from him as himself. When Pertwee was offered the role, one of his conditions for accepting was that each series would have fewer episodes than previously. The BBC happily agr££d. His first year was 25 episodes. I've heard a few different versions of the motive behind, and circumstances around his pay rise request/demand, at least two of the differing versions being from Pertwee himself in interviews.
Why cite arteriosclerosis for Hartnell? That wasn't an issue at the time and not diagnosed until many years later. Producers had been trying to get rid of him ever since Verity Lambert left.
Exactly. Tennant is my doctor, closely followed by Smith and I'm not sure either of them could have done much better with the script Jodie was given 🤷♀️
@@Wimblefish Not only that, but she was hampered by some rather boring companions. Personally, I think Grahame was the best of the three. He was genuine. I never liked Jaz much, but she was the one they kept to the end. It didn't help the show at all. Give Jodie some good scripts and more interesting companions, and I think her tenure would have been great.
Can you do a video on Big Finish villains/monsters that should appear in the TV series? I want to nominate the Scorchies and Nobody No-One as possible picks.
It took a bit, and I wasn't happy with some of the episodes from a story choice aspect, but I will die on the hill of Whitaker being a very underrated Doctor. Especially when you look at the overall arc from Eccleston on, her more whimsical take but still having the forthrightness of Capaldi was a great transition. I just wish the stories themselves had been more engaging.
Can you make a video on David Tennant's Doctor Who connections if you haven't already? There's probably at least 10 obscure links with him and Doctor Who despite him being the doctor
Tom Baker stayed on the show too long? Sheer nonsense. I wanted him to stay longer. I would have traded all the 80s Doctors for one more year with Tom Baker. The best incarnation ever. Season 18 was awesome for its science fiction concepts and great stories.
Capaldi is a fantastic actor. I enjoyed his performances, but I could See the writing and directing being done behind the scenes to the Actual character of Who.
I'm *so* happy Fox backed out of producing the show in the 90s. You just know they'd have given him a machine gun and put the tardis on monster truck tyres.
I liked brutalistic Eccleston, i liked intelelgent Tenant, i liked (but not that much) Smith and i liked all round good Capaldi. And f*ck everyone else before and after. Especially after.
For as long as dr. who has been running, when we got a female dr. i was thoroughly jazzed. and now we have a black dr?!??! i almost want to attempt to get into this show. cause the little specks of tennant, smith, and capaldi makes it unbelievably compelling. especailly since from what i've seen capaldi is by far my most favorite doctor
Colin Baker: NOT TRUE. Michael Grade was the Comptroller of BBC at the time and he hated Science fiction shows such as Dr. Who and he felt the money could be better spent on other "proper" shows. Sue Jefferies who was married to Colin Baker at the time was going through an acrimonious divorce with Colin Baker and crying to her friend, you guessed it...Michael Grade. John Nathan Turner stood up for the show saying they had good scripts for the following season, Michael Grade gave John Nathan Turner 2 more seasons on two conditions: (1) that Colin Baker was out as the doctor and (2) John Nathan Turner was the one who had to fire him. So John Nathan Turner called Colin Baker up and told him the show was renewed for 2 more seasons but he was out as the doctor. John Nathan Turner then asked Colin Baker "By the way, can you come in to film a regeneration scene?" (after just firing Colin over the phone). Colin Baker hung up.
@Wolffen51 Where on Earth did you get the bit about the divorce from? Colin Baker has been married to Marion Wyatt since 1982! His previous marriage (to Liza Goddard) ended in divorce, but that was in 1978, 8 year's before Grade kicked him off Who.
@@Wolffen51 The point was that you're completely wrong about the whole divorce story. Colin Baker was not getting divorced from anyone at the time, "Sue Jeffries" or otherwise. He married Marion Wyatt in 1982, before he ever appeared in Doctor Who, and they are still married!
all that talk about typecasting but I knew both Davidson and Pertwee for characters other than doctor who better. Pertwee for Wurzel Gummidge, All Creatures Great and Small
Chris will always be my Doctor, as he was the first one I watched. But Tom Baker, David Tennant and Matt Smith will always be untouchable in the role. The show was never more popular as it was with the three of them. Everyone's favourite Doctor list will be different (mine certainly is), but you can't deny those three stand firmly at the top of the most successful Doctors list.
A "3 season pact?" I thought it was low ratings caused by poorly-written stories (combined with no respect for the established Who lore) as the reason for Chibnall and Whittaker leaving.
That is how I feel. I watched Capaldi’s first season, but the stories started getting a bit too dark for me and I jumped ship. Came back for the 60th anniversies, which were back to being fun!
The show started to suck when matt smith took over. His character, tge writing, the storylines, everything began to get crappy. Stopped watching after a couple smith episodes. Never watched it since
@@michaelsanderson1656i didnt like smiths era that much either. But series 9 and 10 were fantastic i must say. Id recommend. I regret not watching those sooner.
@@Melissa.Garrettmany say that. But you should go back and watch its all part of the doctors arc and it gets lighter and 12 develops as a character on purpose as it goes on.
@@JordoF6 My mum and I are currently rewatching the NuWho era (we’re approaching the end of S4, so a ways to go yet) and we’ve been debating where to get off, so to speak. I think we’ll keep going as long as we’re still enjoying most episodes, and if there’s a couple we decide to skip along the way, then so be it. I’ll admit we are curious about what we “missed”. 😊
I still don't quite believe that Pertwee went up to Shaun Sutton (despite their history) and asked for a pay-rise. Barry Letts was quick to pour scorn on that idea, because of the hierarchy in the BBC. But, for a man who was arguably the centre of his universe in many ways, it does sound like the kind of thing he might throw in to bolster his own value. That's not to denigrate Jon at all. It was obviously a very close knit at the time.
Just on the bit about David Tennant i hope we don't see him again we should be moving forward also for other reasons not mentioned as to why Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison and Christopher Eccleston left is also the fear of being "typecast" which is common with actors.
The video poster is wrong. Tom Baker left at the right time. If he left after season 17, it would have felt wrong due to the wonderfully comedic stories involved. Season 18 had a much more funeral atmosphere which was right for Tom Baker's departure. Baker is still the best incarnation.
I think that the reason the movie, at least here in the States, was due to anumber of factors First of all it aired on Fox Broadcasting, which is the least rated Networks of the Four major over the Air Networks. Although Fox has had some hit shows over the years, like the Simpsons and Married with Children, it has NEVER Been the number one television network. EVER. In over thirty-seven years it has always been fourth in a four network competition. Second of all I don't think that it was aired at the Right time. Executives at Fox, and i use that term loosely, decided to throw the film against the wolves. They aired it on a Tuesday Night opposite Roseanne and Home Improvement; two of the Biggest Sitcoms on Television at the Time. The show had NO chance; especially most in America, myself excluded, hadn't heard of Doctor Who at the time. It's a shame because I really liked the film and had hoped to see more of the eight doctor.
I vaguely remember seeing a promo for it. I was I think 11 or 12, so I watched FOX all the time since the other networks were for "grown ups". Though, at the time I used "old people". They had an ad play and my buddy and I saw it. Our first reaction was that it looked stupid. They really didn't do a good job selling it. Kinda feels like a "contractual obligation" kinda thing, never felt serious. Now I wish I had watched it then, just to say I did. Took another fifteen years for me to get into Who.
i would love to see something like the 50th anni show. where previous doctors or recordings of previous showed up. but in this stand alone episode special gala returns fully and same with the master. and the previous doctors and the current one elects new leaders and such. if not a stand alone episode then if the series does another 1989-2005 hiatus then the last episode should be that.
Christopher and Colin got the raw end of the deal in my point of view. I enjoyed both of their tenures very much. Peter Davison also walked away because of the establishment of an American character (Peri) on the show, which he felt was straying away from the norm - he didn't agree with it.
My first doctor was Tom Baker, so I've been watching for a long time. The Peter Capaldi years were crap, although I don't blame him for that. He's a fine actor and was good in his two other roles with the show. I'm surprised they include Paul McGann in the lineup because Fox did such a terrible job with the show, sort of like how Disney is ruining Star Wars.
Really, there should be more done with Paul McGann (No. 8) and Jo Martin (The Fugitive Doctor). Maybe even bring back the Rani (though a different actress would be cast, since Kate O’Mara has since passed on and it would go along with the regeneration theme. However, she may have already been killed in the Time War.).
I feel so bad for Whitaker, she's such a great actor and she did her best with what they gave her, but it felt like everything else just let her down...
We made a followup video about how every Doctor got cast - check that out here! th-cam.com/video/zZG1Qz1YNgA/w-d-xo.html
Now, how about a video for why every companion left? Pretty please?
I would adore a Scooby-Doo-esque cameo clip of doctors 11 through 15 accidentally running into each other somewhere, getting into the wrong Tardises, then running around between doors getting into the correct one. That sounds like the level of commitment I think Peter Capaldi would sign on for.

Tardises would likely be the best. You never make a word plural by adding an apostrophe to it. An apostrophe either indicates possessive OR a contraction, not a plural.

Another factor in Pertwee's departure I believe was his increasingly bad back which meant he struggled in the role towards the end.,

If you have seen Capaldi in the first seaon of the Musketeers, and then Capaldi in the 8th season of Doctor Who, you can tell that Capaldi clearly didn't like the writing. The difference between the two Capaldi is glaring.
@@yewtewbie7697 theres really no point in doing that.
@@yewtewbie7697 you're brain is suck
@@davidlacoste I've never understood the whole PC wasn't happy with the writing thing. He's worked with Moff since and always been really complimentary of him & what they did together. But equally, he looks like death warmed up anytime anyone asks him about the show or coming back. I always get the feeling something happened at the BBC along the lines of they wanted to recast or something because they didn't like him/the ratings & he's always just kept it quiet. He made a lot of comments at the time he left about how he was worried about people affecting BBC budgets & impartiality, which always felt like veiled digs at higher ups IMO. Real shame because he's my absolute fave, I love those 3 series.
For many of them, actor's can get bored staying too long in the same part, they want to be challenged and go on to do other things. While 'three seasons' has become something of a norm, and credited to Patrick Troughton, but Troughton was a very well respected character actor before Doctor Who and quickly became one again after Doctor Who. Tom Baker might be synonymous with the character, but he really never did much afterward as he was in the role for so long (and it was well known by the time he left that he had become extremely difficult to work with). He's done a lot of voice work but his career never really recovered on film, his one big thing I can thing of is that he plays Puddleglum (magnificently) in the BBC adaption of The Silver Chair.
I think only Matt Smith was a relative unknown when he was cast in the role, even Peter Davison was in two other TV shows at the same time. None of the other actors have really been big stars, but pretty well known and respected character actors with a good body of work and there is to some degree an urge to get back to that and not get typecast, overstay their welcome, or end up disliking the job.
If you're counting all tbe Doctors, you missed the war doctor, John Hurt. He was in only 3 episodes, but he was an official Doctor who got a regeneration scene.
Leading doctors. The war doctor was never a Leading doctor
Oh man, he was good.
wikipedia has a big list of the "unofficial" doctors.
We hear a lot about how William Hartnell was “no spring chicken” or whatever but he was born in January 1908 so actually played the part in his mid-fifties. His illness, arteriosclerosis, was what deprived him of his memory - sad to reflect he was only in his mid sixties when he actually died.
I've also heard that Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi wanted to do other projects and Doctor Who was getting in the way of that, as well as that Smith and David Tennant have both said they felt they could've played The Doctor forever.
Capaldi had planned to stay for at least 5 seasons but was pushed by Chibnall.
@@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq that when scripts getting terrible and money fx stuff starting to get photo real, but hanging around on a sinking ship when there passing one in easy reach, who would not jump, and more money to most of the time too?
Peter Capaldi wasn’t the only Doctor to appear previously on the show before becoming the Doctor. Colin Baker played Commander Maxil, on Gallifrey during Peter Davison’s reign.
thanks for reminding me, I forget That.
😀
Amy was also casted as one of the girls dreassed in red in that Pompeii episode😂
Colin shot the doctor in that one. I don't blame him, I'd be a bit tetchy if I had to wear a hat that looked like a chicken.
@@gilgameshofuruk4060 🤣🤣🤣🐔
And David Tennant got a line in the Fourtieth Anniversary story 'Scream of the Shalka'
Before Cardiff, it was BBC studios, then later everywhere and a Surrey quarry. There is a tale, not sure if it's an urban myth that Dr Who was filming at one end of a quarry and Blake's Seven at the other. I should imagine that all those dangerous places... remember Tom Baker broke a bone on location once, must have taken their toll.
Its a myth that they where there at the same time, but they did use the same quarry's, actors, props, costumes and monsters.
@@SuperFunkmachine Thought as much, basically a joke at both shows expense.
Tom Baker broke his collar bone on Dartmoor. It was when he fell after a Sontaran walloped him. Elisabeth Sladen heard the crack from a few feet away.
i think its true. i saw an interview with gareth thomas where he says they were filming in one part of a quarry when they were distracted by a lot of noise and when they went over to see it was the crew of doctor who also filming.
I've said this before and I'll say it again 14 as of right now would be best in audios while 15 does TV episodes
agreed😊
John Pertwee also was having pain issues with his back
Yeah, that was why, whenever he was unconscious in a scene, he always had one leg bent at the knee as that lessened the pain of lying on a hard floor.
Apparently, Roger Delgado was one of the few people who could "pop" his back right again. It wasn't unusual to walk into the canteen and see Perwee face down on the floor, Delgado standing over him with one foot in the small of his back and pulling both arms back by the wrists.
Tom Baker is the Best classic *Doctor*
and David Tennant is the Best Revival *Doctor* 📘
I do agree, but I would add that the difference between David and Matt is very small.
Matt Smith was absolutely brilliant too.
Tom Baker played the part perfectly with the right alien qualities. He made you think he was a cosmic being having adventures in time and space. Tennant was an overrated actor who portrayed the Doctor like a space playboy picking up Earth girls all the time. Tom > Tennant.
all of these comments abt tom baker makes me want to watch the original series so bad but i dont hace access to the original series only the new one
@@l3m0nzzzzzzzzzzz There are blu-ray sets of Tom Baker's first, third, fourth, sixth and seventh seasons are all out right now. Best approach to seeing those shows from the late 1970s and 1980 seasons.
The best Doctor - Peter Capaldi, he fit the part perfectly.
It sucks that McCoy got shit on the way he did, also I believe everything Eccleston has said about his time on the show
Now I feel old. I remember seeing that first episode with William Hartnell as the Doctor.
Well how old are you? I feel I was born 40 years too late
@@michaelwigingtonstudios1320Sorry, but I don't give away any personal details like age online. Such details can be used by unscrupulous persons. All anyone needs to know is on my channel.
Me too! I'll be 70 next year.
@@michaelwigingtonstudios1320 67
Capaldi and Whitaker seemed longer but that's because the showmakers decided to make less episodes and take extraordinarily long breaks between seasons. And while Matt Smith has said he's open to returning (assuming his work on House of the Dragon will allow it) he has said if he could he'd come back as the Master rather than the Doctor.
that would be so cool if matt smith came back as the master!!
Honestly the countdown format is a bit stupid for a chronilogical ordering where you're counting up
I wish they gave Paul Mcgann a mini-series. They could have called it The 8th Doctor.
Hi
Just to infrom you that sadly Michael Jayston aka The Valeyeard and utterly wonderful man has just passed away. Perhaps a small tribute video might be considered as he was by most considered the best thing in Season 23 and there is delighful footage of him on the box set feature where he, Colin, Nicola and Bonnie chat over lunch.
This below from the Big Finish site. There is a lengthy piece/tribute worth reading and his long association with DW and more.
Michael Jayston 1935-2024

All at Big Finish were saddened to learn of the death of actor Michael Jayston, who passed away earlier today aged 88.
From me a fan: A real loss not just within DW but for everyone he made smile and laugh. RIP
Jon Pertwee died on my birthday but before I was born. May 20th.
I met him, lovely man, I share a Doctors birthday. Not the same year.
welcome back jon pertwee
So John Pertwee didn't actually die on your birthday...
@@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq Not the same year but still, I know it sounds dumb.
"Severe case of the glowy face" best description ever
Capaldi I my doctor.
Nothing against the other great doctors.
He was one of the best actors in the role.
May capaldi's be forever.
Fun Fact: My dad and many other Doctor Who fans were acctually mad that Paul McGann wasn't the Doctor in 2005.
In the end David Tenant himself was like: I dont wanna go. Which I find quiet beautiful
Matt smith and Moffat had a 4 season plan before smith pulled out after series 7
I love the regeneration effect, I just cant get over it, the glow especially the new one with the blue my word it looks so gooooood!!!!!
blue?
yea there are blue flames and lightning in jodie's regeneration.@@NatrollJM
IKR it’s so good
Colin Baker was also on Doctor Who before he was the Doctor as a Galafrayian Guard when Peter Davidson was the Doctor
What a breathtaking achievment! Thirteen minutes without a breath... very well done!
I love it when WhoCulture uploads ❤
Dont we all?
My old friend Gerry Davis - co-creator of the Cybermen and the script editor at the time of the first “renewal” - was quite clear about what happened to Hartnell. He was sacked/let go for being “difficult”. Bill had wanted to stay - there’s a version of the script for TP4 that doesn’t include the transformation. The whole invisible section of Toy Maker was also planned as a possible change of actor. The Doctor regains his visibility but looks different.
Tom was sacked for being drunk and difficult.
Facts: Really not as tricky as they seem.
Then what about his illnesses? An Adventure In Space and Time showed both Hartnell being ill but how he didn't want to leave, even if he did state that Troughton was a good replacement.
@@joshuacurphey3242 Likely the official reason was for the illness, looks good for PR and all that, and better for Hartnell when he went back to theatre than if they said he was difficult.
Well, these recaps change the story every time they are made. The Whitaker Chibnall death pact sounds like a retcon.
Not true. Tom Baker was not sacked for being drunk. Stop spreading misinformation.
@@joshuacurphey3242 He was ill... but not so ill he couldn't do a theatre season. His absence from a 10th Planet episode was down to him drinking himself "ill" - the boozing was a result of his displeasure of being fired.
Chris's Doctor was my favorite. He was dark. The show could have gone into a completely different direction, if stories brought out that darkness. But it's a kid show.
No it's not! It's for everyone. I still like watching the old shows as an aging adult and my dad liked watching it with me in the 70's. How can it be a kid's show when a lot of the stuff it churns out now is hard edged and annoyingly serious such as Homosexuality, racism, political correctness. it was more fun to watch before it turned into this crap. If it was a children's show before it's a political one now!
I was at the con in Miami when they introduced Colin Baker saying his outfit was so loud a blind man would complain. 😂
I cant wait to meet Eccleston in Wellington this month
Wellington, Somerset or Wellington, NZ? Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy your encounter with the "fantastic" 9th Doctor :)
@ftumschk Wellington New Zealand. Thank's for asking! And don't worry, I will have fun
@Sydney-McKee Cool! I'm only seeing Eccleston but I hope you have fun too!
Perhaps my UK friends can tell me if i'm wrong, but what i heatd on Colin Baker was that, yes, he was asked back for the one show, but in UK television, you sign on for a season before, so if he did one Dr. Who episode, he would not have been available for other shows, essentially giving up a whole season of work/pay!
He'd asked his agent about tge possibility of doing a whole season, but it was made clear that that was not an option. The BBC wanted him to do one episode with the regeneration part way through. He offered to come back for one story. He wanted to give his Doctor a decent send off. It was refused and he refused to return.
Source: Colin Baker at a Doctor Who event I went to about ten years ago.
Oh yeah, Whittaker and Chibnall departures had nooothing to do with the ratings and criticism.
They 100% had chosen to leave at that point.
Love this list. Would be interesting to see something similar for the companions!😊
Jon Pertwee said in an interview he mainly left Dr Who as he wanted to play Worzel Gummage, a dream character role he always said he wanted to do.
Still think Tom Baker was the definitive Doctor though.
yewt how many times did Whitaker threaten to quit the show after all the bad press and mean tweets? She did it at the end of each season she had, it seems.
Says who? Where have you heard this from?
Matt Smith in my opinion was the best ever Doctor.. My favourite anyway
I want doctor who to have random regenerations again, with classic who the seasons were random mostly and not all 3, it should be like that again
There’s a channel called The Who Look who did a video about this exact thing 7 days ago. This video on WhoCulture already has many tens of thousands more views than that video does. I don’t want to accuse this channel of skimming views from smaller channels by using their ideas right when they gain some popularity. However, the timing doesn’t look good. As a smaller channel myself, I do take this very seriously. Maybe I’m wrong and that channel is somehow connected to this one. However, could you guys please respond to this and offer any more insight if it’s there?
David Tennant and Matt Smith were good
John Pertwee’s son, Sean is a successful actor in his own right. He was Alfred in the Gotham tv series.
The Dalek approves of this video.
APP-ROVE! APP-ROVE!
During the sixties, the series ran for 48 weeks a year. Hartnell's health briefly improved after leaving. Following a rest period he was able to complete a run in a stage play. An interview with him when he was in the play shows him to be sharp as a tack. It also shows just how different the character he built up for the Doctor was from him as himself.
When Pertwee was offered the role, one of his conditions for accepting was that each series would have fewer episodes than previously. The BBC happily agr££d. His first year was 25 episodes.
I've heard a few different versions of the motive behind, and circumstances around his pay rise request/demand, at least two of the differing versions being from Pertwee himself in interviews.
Why cite arteriosclerosis for Hartnell? That wasn't an issue at the time and not diagnosed until many years later. Producers had been trying to get rid of him ever since Verity Lambert left.
I liked Jodie quite a bit, but she was the victim of Chibnall's poor writing.
I watch her and I’m like how do people not like her. She’s so good and she is the doctor
Exactly. Tennant is my doctor, closely followed by Smith and I'm not sure either of them could have done much better with the script Jodie was given 🤷♀️
@@Wimblefish Not only that, but she was hampered by some rather boring companions. Personally, I think Grahame was the best of the three. He was genuine. I never liked Jaz much, but she was the one they kept to the end. It didn't help the show at all.
Give Jodie some good scripts and more interesting companions, and I think her tenure would have been great.
Hahahahaha she was awful her acting sucked
@@youareabadsinger212 As is your grammar.
Can you do a video on Big Finish villains/monsters that should appear in the TV series? I want to nominate the Scorchies and Nobody No-One as possible picks.
It took a bit, and I wasn't happy with some of the episodes from a story choice aspect, but I will die on the hill of Whitaker being a very underrated Doctor. Especially when you look at the overall arc from Eccleston on, her more whimsical take but still having the forthrightness of Capaldi was a great transition. I just wish the stories themselves had been more engaging.
Can you make a video on David Tennant's Doctor Who connections if you haven't already? There's probably at least 10 obscure links with him and Doctor Who despite him being the doctor
Tennant is my favorite on screen Doctor and Eccelston is my favorite off screen Doctor.
Initially, Pertwee was criticised for the James Bond, lack of Tardis character. Meglos or the Leisure Hive, which story would you remove?
Tom Baker stayed on the show too long? Sheer nonsense. I wanted him to stay longer. I would have traded all the 80s Doctors for one more year with Tom Baker. The best incarnation ever. Season 18 was awesome for its science fiction concepts and great stories.
New who's 20th anniversary should have 10 and 14 meet. Imagine the "What?!" 😂
Capaldi is a fantastic actor. I enjoyed his performances, but I could See the writing and directing being done behind the scenes to the Actual character of Who.
capaldi was a mathematical peak of the show
I'm *so* happy Fox backed out of producing the show in the 90s. You just know they'd have given him a machine gun and put the tardis on monster truck tyres.
I liked brutalistic Eccleston, i liked intelelgent Tenant, i liked (but not that much) Smith and i liked all round good Capaldi. And f*ck everyone else before and after. Especially after.
Spot on, Ellie, and quite amusing. Regeneration is a severe case of glowy face. Cheers....
Early Doctorwho was a great show, I wish they kept the same charm with some of the modern ones.
For as long as dr. who has been running, when we got a female dr. i was thoroughly jazzed. and now we have a black dr?!??! i almost want to attempt to get into this show. cause the little specks of tennant, smith, and capaldi makes it unbelievably compelling. especailly since from what i've seen capaldi is by far my most favorite doctor
Colin Baker: NOT TRUE. Michael Grade was the Comptroller of BBC at the time and he hated Science fiction shows such as Dr. Who and he felt the money could be better spent on other "proper" shows. Sue Jefferies who was married to Colin Baker at the time was going through an acrimonious divorce with Colin Baker and crying to her friend, you guessed it...Michael Grade. John Nathan Turner stood up for the show saying they had good scripts for the following season, Michael Grade gave John Nathan Turner 2 more seasons on two conditions: (1) that Colin Baker was out as the doctor and (2) John Nathan Turner was the one who had to fire him. So John Nathan Turner called Colin Baker up and told him the show was renewed for 2 more seasons but he was out as the doctor. John Nathan Turner then asked Colin Baker "By the way, can you come in to film a regeneration scene?" (after just firing Colin over the phone). Colin Baker hung up.
@Wolffen51 Where on Earth did you get the bit about the divorce from?
Colin Baker has been married to Marion Wyatt since 1982!
His previous marriage (to Liza Goddard) ended in divorce, but that was in 1978, 8 year's before Grade kicked him off Who.
@@alwillcox you were right about the marriage, I was wrong it wasnt Sue Jeffries but the rest was from Colin Baker himself he said so in interviews
@Wolffen51 Being wrong about the divorce, which was one of the cornerstones of this bizarre tale you spun, undermines the credibility of all of it.
@@TheFiddleFaddle yes....but at least Im honest enough to admit that I was wrong about the divorce, but the rest of it is true.
@@Wolffen51 The point was that you're completely wrong about the whole divorce story. Colin Baker was not getting divorced from anyone at the time, "Sue Jeffries" or otherwise. He married Marion Wyatt in 1982, before he ever appeared in Doctor Who, and they are still married!
all that talk about typecasting but I knew both Davidson and Pertwee for characters other than doctor who better. Pertwee for Wurzel Gummidge, All Creatures Great and Small
My Mum loved Davidson in All Creatures Great and Small!!!
Chris will always be my Doctor, as he was the first one I watched. But Tom Baker, David Tennant and Matt Smith will always be untouchable in the role. The show was never more popular as it was with the three of them. Everyone's favourite Doctor list will be different (mine certainly is), but you can't deny those three stand firmly at the top of the most successful Doctors list.
Thank god Chibnall and Witthaker left. 3 sasons too late though....
A "3 season pact?" I thought it was low ratings caused by poorly-written stories (combined with no respect for the established Who lore) as the reason for Chibnall and Whittaker leaving.
It's just so doctor who to be celebrating its twenty year anniversary two years after its sixtieth lol
Matt Smith was a fun doctor and it started to go down hill with Peter Capaldi. The show it died after he left.
That is how I feel. I watched Capaldi’s first season, but the stories started getting a bit too dark for me and I jumped ship. Came back for the 60th anniversies, which were back to being fun!
The show started to suck when matt smith took over. His character, tge writing, the storylines, everything began to get crappy. Stopped watching after a couple smith episodes. Never watched it since
@@michaelsanderson1656i didnt like smiths era that much either. But series 9 and 10 were fantastic i must say. Id recommend. I regret not watching those sooner.
@@Melissa.Garrettmany say that. But you should go back and watch its all part of the doctors arc and it gets lighter and 12 develops as a character on purpose as it goes on.
@@JordoF6 My mum and I are currently rewatching the NuWho era (we’re approaching the end of S4, so a ways to go yet) and we’ve been debating where to get off, so to speak. I think we’ll keep going as long as we’re still enjoying most episodes, and if there’s a couple we decide to skip along the way, then so be it. I’ll admit we are curious about what we “missed”. 😊
I still don't quite believe that Pertwee went up to Shaun Sutton (despite their history) and asked for a pay-rise. Barry Letts was quick to pour scorn on that idea, because of the hierarchy in the BBC. But, for a man who was arguably the centre of his universe in many ways, it does sound like the kind of thing he might throw in to bolster his own value. That's not to denigrate Jon at all. It was obviously a very close knit at the time.
Just on the bit about David Tennant i hope we don't see him again we should be moving forward also for other reasons not mentioned as to why Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison and Christopher Eccleston left is also the fear of being "typecast" which is common with actors.
Starting the numbering from 13 and counting down is a very weird choice.
The video poster is wrong. Tom Baker left at the right time. If he left after season 17, it would have felt wrong due to the wonderfully comedic stories involved. Season 18 had a much more funeral atmosphere which was right for Tom Baker's departure. Baker is still the best incarnation.
I think that the reason the movie, at least here in the States, was due to anumber of factors
First of all it aired on Fox Broadcasting, which is the least rated Networks of the Four major over the Air Networks. Although Fox has had some hit shows over the years, like the Simpsons and Married with Children, it has NEVER Been the number one television network. EVER. In over thirty-seven years it has always been fourth in a four network competition.
Second of all I don't think that it was aired at the Right time. Executives at Fox, and i use that term loosely, decided to throw the film against the wolves. They aired it on a Tuesday Night opposite Roseanne and Home Improvement; two of the Biggest Sitcoms on Television at the Time. The show had NO chance; especially most in America, myself excluded, hadn't heard of Doctor Who at the time. It's a shame because I really liked the film and had hoped to see more of the eight doctor.
I vaguely remember seeing a promo for it. I was I think 11 or 12, so I watched FOX all the time since the other networks were for "grown ups". Though, at the time I used "old people".
They had an ad play and my buddy and I saw it. Our first reaction was that it looked stupid. They really didn't do a good job selling it. Kinda feels like a "contractual obligation" kinda thing, never felt serious.
Now I wish I had watched it then, just to say I did. Took another fifteen years for me to get into Who.
Interesting I didn't think about why the actors leave
i would love to see something like the 50th anni show. where previous doctors or recordings of previous showed up. but in this stand alone episode special gala returns fully and same with the master. and the previous doctors and the current one elects new leaders and such. if not a stand alone episode then if the series does another 1989-2005 hiatus then the last episode should be that.
"I see you've redecorated the TARDIS....I don't like it.". --2nd Doctor
Christopher and Colin got the raw end of the deal in my point of view. I enjoyed both of their tenures very much. Peter Davison also walked away because of the establishment of an American character (Peri) on the show, which he felt was straying away from the norm - he didn't agree with it.
There was nearly no baton left to pass on after Chibnall. Thats why they had to parachute Tennant in to try and bring it back to life.
My first doctor was Tom Baker, so I've been watching for a long time. The Peter Capaldi years were crap, although I don't blame him for that. He's a fine actor and was good in his two other roles with the show. I'm surprised they include Paul McGann in the lineup because Fox did such a terrible job with the show, sort of like how Disney is ruining Star Wars.
William Harel??????
Paul Magan??????
Who?
Get it..... Who!
Matt Smith is for me the best doctor to be on scene, love that man
Really, there should be more done with Paul McGann (No. 8) and Jo Martin (The Fugitive Doctor). Maybe even bring back the Rani (though a different actress would be cast, since Kate O’Mara has since passed on and it would go along with the regeneration theme. However, she may have already been killed in the Time War.).
Tennet is who I think of when I think of Dr. Who but Smith is my favorite Doctor.
Every Doctor Who lead actor .... Peter Cushing: "Am I a joke to you?"
Movies from the 60's aren't proper Canon to DW!!!!
I always wanted to know this!!! THANKS!!!!
Would if not have made sense to ditch the countdown to one format for once and start at 1?
There can be only 12 doctors, but with A.I. more series could be made with previous doctors.
0:53 - a very young Peter Purvis
I feel so bad for Whitaker, she's such a great actor and she did her best with what they gave her, but it felt like everything else just let her down...
This video is misleading. You never stop being the Doctor.
