I would like to take this opportunity to thank Seth for calling the character "the Doctor" and NOT "Doctor Who".
Tanya Kopel - I would like to take this opportunity to say it depends on the context, if you’re talking about the show in-universe then he’s most definitely not Doctor Who (unless you’re Missy) he’s THE Doctor, and quite right too, however outside of all that in the real world the role is commonly referred to as Doctor Who, as said constantly by the ever lovely Tom Baker, or as in ‘Who Is The New Doctor Who’, as it’s less confusing that way.
The character is called "The Doctor", as long as it's clear which show you're talking about (and it usually is, unless it's in a title like your example), there is no need to say "Doctor Who".
milkamilla actually Doctor Who is the name of the character aswell...check out the classic era and the season 10 episode "World enough and time"
Amen Tanya
Of course there’s that one ignorant New Who fanboy.
The original 4 Doctors, as well as Eccleston, all were credited as “Doctor Who,” so both names are correct.
Matt: "i'm not very posh" *proceeds to say multiple very posh sentences*
He got nervous
In the words of LK: MMMMMMMMMMMMMM POSH
Posh until he said “I’ll shove your trumpet up your arse”
Berk.
Like honestly every Doctor is beginning with hate because we miss the old one and when we get to like or even love the new one and they kill him off.
Inka Koutná that’s somewhat true, but the last one I never warmed up to unfortunately
NOW HE’S GOT BOOBIES!!!
They regenerate them.
I love how the entire show is about embracing change, yet the fanbase goes through the exact same cycles with every new doctor since the fucking 60s
Not killed off... Regenerated
I don't classify the Doctors as "my Doctor"... I like them all.
But Matt Smith's "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically... run! in "Eleventh Hour" was the doctorest line I have ever heard any Doctor say.
Groffili - yeah, that was when I was completely won over. Eleven stole my heart! :)
Groffili that was an AWESOME moment! Haha
That was truly a moment was like damn!
As Tom Baker said, “Nobody has ever failed at the part.” It really is unbreakable as a character. You always think the one you’re currently watching is the best, but that’s because they all are the same person, so once you get used to the new personality, all the same affection you had for the previous actor(s) also transfers over to the new one.
Christopher Eccelston Episode 1 Season 101 episode "ROSE": "I'm the doctor, by the way. What's your name?" "Rose." "Nice to meet you, Rose. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"
That shows Matt Smith IS The Eleventh Doctor, as Robert Downey Jr saying "I am Iron Man" at the end of Iron Man showed how Downey IS Iron Man
Matt Smith was a good Doctor. In high school I grew up with David, but by the time I was in college I was watching Matt Smith. And his whole arch with Amy and Rory was a glorious one.
Josiah Sanchez arc*
Well...his arc was more...architecture. I wish I knew how to get a regular feed of Dr. Who!....I'm jealous. My first Dr. was, of course, the Fourth!
I miss him, and David Tennant.
It's only 6 years until the 60th anniversary special! By then we'll probably be on #15, giving the 3-year turnaround rate.
And Christopher Eccleston, don't forget about him!
I miss Peter Capaldi
Pain Killer
Eccles-what?
Who is that guy?
The ninth doctor, the one they used to reboot the series back in 2005. He was only for 1 series sadly, as he didn't want to do it anymore, but he was great at it.
Tennant and Smith were the golden days of modern Doctor Who, I don't know if it will ever be as great again.
You forgot about Eccleston, the first Doctor after the reboot. I love Tennant and Smith so much but my first Doctor will always be my favourite. It's a shame he only had one season.
1970s and the 2000s imo.
two of the greatest decades of who.
And then came Capaldi, who surpassed them both
@@Cruithneach Did he hell.
@@cbcdesign001 Oh, I'm sorry that my sacred and inviolable opinion - shared by many others, I hasten to add - appears to have caused you such anguish, but you're just going to have to deal with it
Matt Smith is my doctor. 😊
well no one can deny Baker is the best doctor but Matt is the best doctor from the new who.
Rip the war doctor.
Joelle Jansen I’m a big fan of Eleven. Ten and Four are my other faves.
Mine as well 😊
Bow ties are cool after all.
"To some people, I will be their Doctor"
I legit think his performance influenced my personality more than any other actor ever so it's safe to say that yes, he IS my favorite doctor.
Of course he's good at history. He's a God damn Time Lord.
Oh!.....Burn!
"I could be a curator. Id be a great curator, id be.. the great curator. Ha Ha... I could retire and do that. I could retire and be the curator of this place."
Loved Matt as the Doc, loved his nervous energy.
E Hans I really think you might
I never forget a face
Ohh... Don't make me cry.
It brings me to tears every time we watch it. Thank you. Oh thank you very much. Cue tears.
Lost! Shh!
I really want to see Matt Smith in more roles. He is an amazing actor.
Unfortunately he's playing a young clone of emperor palpatine in the new star wars movie. Im still working on forgiving him for being a pat of that mess.
@@juliestark3484 I didn't notice that in the movie! Which scene was it?
@UCALA his scene was cut during reshoots. From what I understand he was a young acolyte of emperor Palpatine who did a lightsaber fight near the end of the movie with Rey/Kylo. But test audiences hated it and the end was reshot
You can see him in the Game of Thrones prequel.
You can now see him in a big role on Morbius a marvel movie
I loved Matt's Doctor Who with James Corden. Classic comedic chemistry.
The head-butting scene cracks me up every time.
It took me a minute to remember that James Corden wasn’t always a late night talk show host.
Joe Mars The moment I saw Carpool Karaoke with Adele, I literally screamed out *”CRAIG?!”*
Yes!
Fun fact: Doctor who was basically the first time I heard of the name Craig.
But the British people pronounce it like : Craig. With the long *a* sound.
But people in America apparently pronounce it like: Creg. As if you were saying “Greg” but replacing the “g” with “c”.
It took me a while to stop mispronouncing my friend Craig’s name.
Honestly I much prefer the British way of pronouncing it.
I like how he's humble and says he hopes people eventually accepted him as the Doctor. I'm pretty sure most people loved him in the first episode.
I loved him from the moment I saw the fish fingers and custard moment
4:35
Guess the Doctor had a thing with Queen Elizabeth... twice
Two different Elizabeths.
Please stop it's too funny
late to the party but 3 if you include the one from the future!
And the joke about the ‘virgin queen’ not so virgin anymore 😂😂
Liz 10
nothing but respect for MY doctor
They all play the same person so technically they are all your doctor
You will always be my doctor Matt
Supriya Naidu David tennant was better!
,
Me too. I loved the boyish enthusiasm he brought to the show.
Me too
Matt will always be my doctor💙
Love him and all Doctors, but Capaldi won first place in my heart :)
Jas A David is mine but I loved Matt aswell
I want to hear more about the granddad. He's hilarious.
Can’t wait to seen him as Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon.
He is so so loverly in person! I still cannot believe I got to meet him this year, it just feels so surreal now.
And....you would want to expand on that?....You would?
He’s so adorable! Him and David Tennant are my favorite Doctors.
tss6295 Ever seen any classics?
Finley Watts I’ve seen some of the classic stuff, but not much. I really liked the Fourth and Fifth Doctors.
tss6295 If you want recommendations for other Doctor’s and their best episodes
Try the 1st Doctor for the development from a grumpy old man to a grandfather figure.
Episode recommendation- An Unearthly child, The Dalek invasion of Earth, The Aztecs, The Time meddler and The Tenth planet.
2nd Doctor for the bumbling hobo in control that was the basis of the 11th Doctor.
Episode recommendations-The enemy of the world, The web of fear, The mind robber, Tomb of the Cybermen, The invasion, Seeds of death and The war games.
3rd Doctor focuses on being suave and action oriented like 007.
Episode recommendations-Spearheaded from space, Inferno, Doctor Who and The Silurians, Terror of the Autons, Curse and/or monster of Peladon, The three Doctors, The green death and The Time warrior.
The 4th Doctor is probably more well known to you but I recommend-The Ark In space, The Sontaran experiment, Genesis of the Daleks, Terror of the Zygons, Pyramids of Mars, The brain of Morbius, The seeds of doom, The deadly assassin, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Horror of Fang rock, The Pirate planet, City of death, Shada and Logopolis.
You’ve also seen the 5th Doctor but luckily or unluckily he has few great episodes- Castrovalva, Kinda, The visitation, Earthshock, The five Doctors, Resurrection of the Daleks and The caves of Androzani.
The 6th is not as bad as many people say but he has few good episodes. He gets infinitely better in his audio dramas.
Episode recommendations-The attack of the Cybermen, The Vengeance on Varos, The Two Doctors and Revelation of the Daleks. The trial of a time lord has mixed results but I personally enjoy it.
The 7th Doctor (my favourite) starts like a discount 2nd Doctor but becomes a dark more mysterious figure in his last two seasons.
Episode recommendations-The Remembrance of the Daleks, The happiness patrol, The greatest show in the galaxy, Battlefield, Ghost light (even if it’s hard to follow), Curse of Fenric and Survival.
The 8th Doctor only has two on screen appearances but his Big finish audios are very much worth listening to.
If you can get through the cheap effects then you’ll be able to watch some of the best written and more subtle episodes of Doctor Who. Sorry for the ramble but classic Who doesn’t get enough love.
Finley Watts ah cool! Yeah I’ll definitely check them out. When I was trying to watch Classic Who, the graphics were what got me about me. That’s why I prefer New Who. Also, in my opinion, there’s more action in New Who, and I like watching that.
tss6295 If you want action and better special effects then the 7th Doctors last two season are the closest to new Who.
David is my doctor, but i enjoyed matt just as much if not more, yet david will always be my doctor
OMG, I had to comment because of just how much I can relate to this. I feel the EXACT same way.
Smh... no love for Chris
Same here.
Same with me :).
11 was my first Doctor, and even though all the actors playing the Doctor have been brilliant, Matt holds a special place in my heart, and would probably always be "my Doctor"
I mean david and matt are kinda both my doctors because david was my doctor from when I was 8-12 and matt was my doctor from like 12-15
Anthony James I was the same, but I hate the whole 'my Doctor' thing, because it suggests that the Doctor you grew up with is your favourite and the one you connect with, whereas I grew up mainly with Tennant and my favourite Doctors are Smith and Troughton
The first Doctor I watched Peter Davison who I never really got attached to, then Colin Baker who honestly nearly put me off the show, so I don't really have what I'd call my Doctor when Tom Baker who is my favourite was slightly before my time.
Now! We're talking Doctors....who actually make house calls!...They're on TV!
Exactly the same except maybe a year younger 7-11 and 11-14
OMG it's been so long. Raggady man, run you clever boy.
And remember me...
CN What I'm Saiyan Except he doesn't anymore. ='(
My head read this in Karens voice and then Jenna's.
Oh Sweetie, have you forgotten Fish fingers and custard?
Im so glad he no longer "remembers" lol
Aw, I hope he knows how loved he is as a Doctor.
Oh my God, I missed this man, his Doctor, and his non-existent eyebrows!
Well, the eyebrows came back in a big way with Capaldi
Omg now that's all I can see 😂
Rarazal Productions Yesss! His eyebrows got confused and regenerated w
on Peter Capaldi!
@@misssjustice3791 from scotsman to scotsman even tho david tennant played the 10th doctor with an English accent lmao
Imagine this Matt Smith's 11th with......capaldi's eyebrows!
Matt Smith will always be my Doctor
11 was unique in that he could universally be a role model for everyone watching the show; he was always himself and dressed strange and all scatterbrained and in moments that got people confused and annoyed but on the whole that got people to love him like nobody else could. Even though he lacked any social skills whatsoever he didn't care because he was wise and kind and that was what he knew. Growing up with 11 as a kid has like the same positive effect as growing up with Mr. Rogers
So very well put!!! 👍
Same
I grew up watching Matt Smith, and I cant imagine anyone else being the Doctor. Actually, I recently re-watched his episodes and I’ve only just realised how well he portrayed the character.
I freaking love that show
I love Matt. He is my Doctor! Had the pleasure of meeting him at Cleveland Comic Con. I almost cried from fangirling.
i literally have matt smith’s sonic screwdriver i loved him as the doctor, a whole icon
Everyone loves their Doctor.
The very first episode of Doctor Who I ever watched was Matt Smiths first episode. So he will always be my Doctor.
not really, my first Doctor was Eccleston but he's not my favourite
Matt is an awesome Doctor
Met Matt Smith at a convention a couple months ago and he was very polite and nice! I still can’t believe I met my favorite Doctor
Pretty sure I haven't cried that hard, as a grown man, ever, than when he left Dr Who. That story line was just amazing. It was too bad David's story wasn't as good.
The running gag of In Bruges being the most famous movie ever is hilarious.
And by the way, Matt Smith? Is MY Doctor. :)
Justin Ramroop just my 2 cents but in Bruges is legitimately one of the best films of the last 20 years. A cult hit but a hit nonetheless. It left a big impression on me and people around me quote it often enough for me to know it did them as well.
Ze alcoves.....
Cat Gilfillan Man, I should really watch it.
Ze alcoves in ze park... :-P
blofeld39 ah its good to see another person of impeccable taste 👍
What I found interesting was they they didn't mention Matt Smith's flashback sequence in "In Bruges"... was deleted. It wasn't *in* the final film. :-/
The prince William part was funnier on Graham Norton’s show lol
Chandler Sun everything is funnier on Graham Norton.
Zara Haque ^^ This times a hundred
exactly what Iwas about to reply too.
damn straight.
I’ve truly loved every doctor from new who, my Matt is the one I consider my doctor.
Little Mix & Musicals same!
he was great as the doctor 💘 I miss eleven
you're my doctor matt :)
Matt is one of my most FAVORITE actors!! I love EVERYTHING he does!
I didn't think I could watch Matt Smiths Doctor...he was so amazing in the role. Chris, David and Matt gave so much and I am very grateful 🙏
I really want to meet Matt’s grandpa.
He is simply one h e l l of an actor
Matt smith is just so kind and genuine, I love him
He will always be my first doctor and will always be my doctor. Went back and watched the others but Matt holds a special place in my heart
Matt Smith is my Doctor!
I will always remember when the Doctor was him ❤️
Matt Smith 💜💜💜💜💜
Tennant was my Doctor until Matt come along. I think his very first episode is my favourite of the entire new era. I was so ready to hate on him, didn’t give a chance of getting anywhere near Tennant and then in my opinion he went even further, especially when Amy Pond was involved too. I named my daughter Amelia so that shows how much I loved his first series 🤣👍
Matt Smith is for sure my doctor!! I miss him so much.
2:36 Morbius reference
First of all. I thought Matt was the best. He is my favorite actor ever. So amazing and him and lily are just like goals.
Eleventh is one of my favourite doctors. He was so great and wholesome and a great mix between a playful 5-years old and a wise old ma. Also, he was very sweet.
He's my favorite doctor! So good an actor. I'll watch anything he's in.
11 is my doctor ❤ couldn't ever bring myself to watch his last episode 😢
That’s my Doctor!!!❤️
I love the actor, hes funny but serious at the same time!!
omfg the amount of extremely british phrases in this six minute video is off the fucking scale i love it
Matt Smith really is my doctor
Matt's granddad sounds like a right legend himself! I must admit I was initially quite sceptical when Matt got announced as the Doctor but he's since become my favourite new series Doctor! I hope he'll one day return for a multi-doctor story in the future.
I've kinda got 3 doctors, David, Matt and Peter. I love all of them, they were all just amazing and I feal like the role suited all of them so well.
Accepted you? I would die for you Matt Smith
Matt was just the best doc💙
2019 and still my favourite docter 😘
matt smith you have nothing to worry about you will forever in my heart be my doctor, my perfect, goofy, sweet, gorgeous legendary doctor
David is my doctor but Matt has a special place in my heart
Fish sticks and custard!!! One of my favorite 11th moments!
I always loved Matt Smith's portrayal of the doctor. He was my super-hero really. Kind, strong sense of morals but goofy and light on his feet, not taking himself too seriously
matt is so precious I'm crying
this guy was the best doctor!
To be honest, I have been excited about every new doctor - I love to see what someone new will bring to the role and the character. I don't really have "a" doctor. I like 'em all.
Companions I'm a bit more fussy about. #donnaforever
same, all of them are THE Doctor, of course I have my favourites but I love 'em all
I can agree in respect of the doctors all the way up to the most recent (unfortunatly no real character development, emotional investment or any of the good stuff save for to serve as a running gag and a nod to little habits of past doctors.) However on the point of companions I am afraid we must simply agree fo disagree...Rose was deffo de best 😂
The best companion is obv none other than the Last Centurion Rory Williams. As for the Doctor ain't no best.
I never heard someone saying he hates Matt's Doctor, I genuinely think it is not possible to hate his Doctor at all
Yay Matt was here! Awesome Doctor and awesome guy!
Yep, Matt Smith as Eleven is my Doctor!
I will always remember when the Doctor was him
He is and has always been MY Doctor! He is the one who actually got me into watching the show. He did a phenomenal job and the whole series was great.
Matt saying we excepted is an understatement. It's more like we'll never forget you❤
MATT SMITH THE DOCTOR FOREVER
I like David's Doctor but I LOVE Matt's Doctor. He was hilarious and quick-witted.
When Tennant first appeared, I was devastated and grew to love him.
When Smith first appeared, I was devastated and grew to love him.
When Capaldi first appeared, I was devastated and grew to love him.
When Whitaker first appeared, I was elated and grew to hate her.
Why were you elated?
@@wardjunior1450 because it felt like they were doing something risky and different, which is what the show needed (plus she's a great actor). Unfortunately, the best acting in the world couldn't make up for the garbage scripts Chibnal wrote 😞
@@beelzzebub I’ve never seen her perform well. Broadchurch was the most one note thing I’ve ever seen. She was catastrophic from the first second in dw.
@@wardjunior1450 I did enjoy her first episode as the Doctor, but apart from that I agree she didn't do exceptionally. I find it hard to judge her when she's doing as much as the script allows though
He is and always be my favorite one. Also He is the exact reason I started watching The Queen
I think Matt was very good at playing me and he really embodied the fact that now ties and fezes are cool!
Matt Smith is the best doctor to me
10th for me but hey everyone has opinions
Legend
Great. One of my favorite interviewers interviews one of my new favorite actors :-)
To me, Smith's era of Doctor Who with Amy and Rory will always be the peak of the show. In my mind, nothing will ever beat it. From series 5 up to Angels Take Manhattan in series 7. By far the best era of Doctor Who ever made. Everything about it is perfect. The cracks in time narrative, the story of River Song, the Silence. Not to mention the beautiful cleanup the producers did in terms of quality. They made the show look expensive which is something previous eras had failed to do. Series 5 was when Doctor Who became something bigger than it ever had been; ruined by the loss of Amy and Rory. (Clara's 'Impossible Girl' storyline was a bit naff in my honest opinion). I'm so grateful that I got to be alive in a time where my favourite television show was at its very best. Thank you Moffat. Thank you Smith. Thanks to everyone who worked on Doctor Who throughout this era. You made my childhood so exciting and inspired me to become a filmmaker in the process. Once again, I thank you.
He’s soooooooo British haha but a great Doctor Who!!!!
MMLEP95 a great doctor*
LFX Gaming are u American by any chance
Girl ofc he’s English, Doctor who is a British Show, he’s the doctor!
A great Doctor. Who isn't part of the Doctor's name.
I like anyone who speaks with their hands
Matt Smith is my Doctor. He's the first one I ever saw, his costume was engrained in my mind as what the Doctor would wear, his performance was phenomenal, and the Eleventh Doctor is the first character I've ever cosplayed, and it's fun trying to be like him.
He's my favorite Doctor! Always!
I didn't realize just how British he is saying fisticuffs... also.... NERD FIGHT OR WHAT HAHAHA
I'm don't actually believe I've ever seen them choose a bad actor to play The Doctor...
Of course everyone has their favorite, and I do think David Tennant hits all the marks for my favorite Doctor, but the other actors to have stepped into the role have never failed to impress me. Matt Smith is no exception. True he did take some getting used to, but that is the nature of the show. When a new actor steps into the role has been, will always be, and is intended to be, a bit jarring.
By the nature of the character, The Doctor, each death is a bit sad. True the memories live on and it's technically the same person, but each iteration has its own hopes, dreams, ambitions, its own way of dealing with things. At the heart it may be the same character, the same person, but the nuances are so diverse and varied. I truly think David Tennant's iteration of The Doctor said it best, just as he was about to change, with the simple yet emotionally charged line "I don't want to go".
So no, Matt Smith may not be my favorite actor to have played The Doctor. That however is by no means a slight. As an actor gifted with a chance to play such an iconic and influential role Matt Smith stands shoulder to shoulder with giants. Does it really matter if one giant or another shines a bit brighter to some people than others?
oh true, all of the doctors have been great actors, they haven't chose a bad actor ever to play the doctor, it's always been someone with talent from Hartnell to Whittaker, all of them are amazing actors that deserve to play the role and all of them bring something new and unique to the table!
Keef Fontaine Maybe that's the secret. I tried to figure out why it's so appealing. I love the show and don't know why.
Keef, well said. We're to believe this new person IS the old person... but they are each unique! I mean...sure, there's been memory loss, but who hasn't?.....
i can not describe to you how much i bloody love him
Matt Smith is my Doctor. He had me at “fish fingers and custard.”
One thing you should know about British people is we have about 100 synonyms for 'idiot'. So if someone calls you a funny word like pillock, plonker, numpty, tosser, dolt, muppet, prat, wally, twit, berk... etc. most likely they are insulting your intelligence :)
Emily Stark Yeah, dolt and twit are familiar across the pond too, but not so much berk, wally, prat, etc. As for muppet, people will probably wonder why they're being called a puppet from Sesame Street. ☺
yeah you're right i guess it is, I probably included it because it's also a silly british word that's an insult, but it does have a more specific meaning
Berk is actually a bit ruder than just calling someone an idiot. It's an abbreviated form of "Berkshire Hunt", which is cockney rhyming slang for... well i'm sure you can guess what it rhymes with.
At least the British are eloquent and more when name calling. Idiot, moron, and dummy....😝
😂😂
Can't wait for him appearing in House of the Dragon.
Lovely fella, and terrific actor. 😍
Greatest Doctor in the history of the show. Miss him. Miss him so much. 😔
