Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed feel free to subscribe. This list contains my favourite 5 speeches. There plenty of others that could have made the cut and it was very difficult to narrow it down. If you disagree with my list make sure to debate in the comments below 👍
I agree with number 1, that's still one of my favorite speeches. The rest of the list I'd change though. 11's very first speech with all the visuals of his past incarnations before he finally emerges from the face of David Tennant wearing his own costume for the first time. The Speech 12 gives to the Master and the Mistress which is really the only time he really felt like the Doctor to me. The Pandorica Speech. And since I can't think of another one I guess the Zygon Speech can stay on there too.
Some of us live that statement. Keeping yourself on a tight leash because you know what can and will happen if you let it slip, and not just a little bit.
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many." Two sentences that shows just how aware he is of what he could unleash if he so wished.
@@potheadpalsentertainment161 To think we saw a mere glimpse of The Time Lord Victorious. Truly terrifying to think what The Doctor is truly capable of.
"don't play games with me, don't ever ever think your capable of that" one of my fav matt smiths lines wen't from happily dancing around the tardis to insanely serious in a matter of seconds
@@bas42946 He also usded this line (10) against the Vashta Nerada (silence in the libraray): Don't play game with me... You've just killed someone i liked, that is not a safe place to stand.... (something like this). It was cold, terrifying yet... comforting.
I wish they added the rest of 11th’s regeneration speech of when he was in the tardis. It always made me cry, especially “I will always remember when the The Doctor was me”
Chinny (11th): yes I want to go to the tower with my co-conspirators sandshoes and grandad. Grandad (War): grandad!? Sandshoes(10th): THerE nOt SanDshOeS! Grandad(war) yeS tHeY aRe!
and this is why these three men will always be The Doctor to me. Tennant, Smith, Capaldi. you couldn’t rip the Doctor from their hearts if you tried, their performances were SSS+ tier.
@@djpunyer8762 Eccleston was great definitely a good Doctor, but (maybe its because he has only one season) he is not on the level of Tennant, Smith and Capaldi in my book, and this his doctor didnt have this chatting fiber, he was talking sure but it didnt have the same impact Tennant, Smith and Capaldi could have ps : I havent seen Jodie's era yet, so I cant compare her to others
@@Martin-dx6qr Eccleston's run was short, but memorable. Especially in the episode "Dalek." "The Daleks have failed! Why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct? Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just *_DIE?!"_* He was so emotional, and so broken from the time war, and you BELIEVE he's a broken war survivor. That's honestly what makes Rose a really special companion-no matter how many times he either tried to push her away with some "stupid ape" comment or "for a human" comment, she stuck around. She's a solid companion.
R.I.P Bernard Cribbins, the grandad to England. When Wilfred says goodbye to the doctor at the wedding breaks my heart every time and that was all of us when we heard about his death, waving him off. Godspeed.
pretty sure the best speech was: "Whatever you've got planned, forget it. I'm the Doctor. I'm 904 years old. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I am the oncoming storm! The bringer of darkness and you ... are basically just a rabbit aren't you? OK, carry on. Just a ... general ... warning."
My favorite doctor moment so far. I wasnt too big on the episode when i saw it, but that speech and that moment is my favorite speech of all time of his.
I loved ten's speech to Wilfred. Literally every word he says is 100% true. Wilfred is just an old man close to the end of his life and ten could do so much more good with his life than Wilfred could possibly do with his remaining time. He has also done so much good that he has more than earned someone else sacrificing for him for a change. He also knows that he could never live with himself if he let Wilfred die for him.
This is also his redemption for Waters of Mars where people were doomed to die and he broke the laws of time to save them. He could have let Wilf die but 1) he’d regret it and 2) he knows his role as the doctor is to save people. We love the doctor because even though he can regenerate he doesn’t act invincible, he still treats each regeneration like dying.
And the fact that he knows he hasn’t got a choice, it’s not him struggling to make a decision whether or not to save wilf. The second he hears the knock he KNOWS it’s his death sentence. Even in the end, he knew he wouldn’t do anything other than save wilf because how could he?
I just wish they had kept the knock in that scene they showd. For any that don't know, The Doctor was told "He will knock 4 times, and then you will die" by an actual soothsayer in the middle of these specials, and does everything he can to stop every sequence of 4 knocks for hours of screen time to delay his death. Then finally, Wilfred knocks 4 times to get the Doctor's attention
That line. "Ive lived too long". He realized he overstayed his regeneration. He became timelord victorious, he forgot who he suppose to be, the doctor. He began to not care anymore. Its time he leaves. No better way than by the hand of his friend.
Overstayed his regeneration isn't really an easy term to use for tennant's doctor when you consider Smith's likely aged a couple thousand years by the time he regenerated
Wilfred is a hero. He may have been confused about everything, but he stayed with the doctor, comforted him, and was willing to give his life to save the planet.
The thing I love about that bit and about Wilfreds character is he didn’t even get stuck because he was trying to save the planet, not at first. He was willing to give his life to save the Doctor but he got stuck because he was saving one other person. He saw another person stuck and didn’t hesitate to try to help them. Wilfred was a fantastic character
and to think his character was originally planned to be a one off. Love the man to death; he's one of those characters you can count on to do the right thing, even if it it means he gets himself into some trouble. Probably my favorite scene of his was when he shot the Dalek in the eyestalk with an egg. Man had balls of steel
Murray Gold deserves SO much credit for the music behind the Akhaten scene and many others… This man was the musical director of “Doctor Who” from 2005 to 2017 - he gave us the songs of Akhaten, the Ood, every intro song variation during that timeframe, the River Song theme… I cannot stress enough how important his contribution has been to this show 🎶💕🙏🏻
Yes, like ol Dudley Simpson in the 70s with his atmospheric and creepy music in Blakes 7 and Doctor Who. The first appearance of Davros in Genesis of the Daleks was greatly increased in tension, fear and horror by his music. Murray Gold was the same, giving the show a whole identity for a new generation. Then Chibnut got rid of him in favour of an tone deaf idiot with a synth and a fixation on dustbin lids for cymbals....I have never heard anything that bad. And its worse as Murray Gold was so good. Where could you go but down? And that is what they did, every single thing that was good in the show was wrecked over the course of the first Chibnall season, from the Doctor, to Script and Stories, acting and music it all went in the toilet. And there desperate attempt to fix and turn it around is to bring back RTD. And if things were so amazing they would not have needed to do that at all.....I hope they turn it around, but I wont be watching, they lost me as a viewer for good. I have no desire to see a Tardis with an openly gay doctor and various other trans actors and drag queens in tow.....its just too much....
He is very deserving of the name "Gold". He's incredibly talented, and you can feel his dedication and passion in his music. No matter how many times I watch this show, the music and performances always knock me off my feet. The writing is mostly good, although there are some bad episodes (in my opinion), but I absolutely adore each of these Doctors
11's catch phrase was Geronimo but honestly he said "Well come on then!" a lot as well and I love it. 10 was out there being the on coming storm and 11 was the one that challenged everyone to come get some.
Can you imagine how much his heart broke when he realised that his 'death' came not from his enemies but from one of his closest and most beloved friends....
Eleven’s Akhaten speech always gets my eyes welling up with tears. Matt delivers the speech with such believable conviction behind his words, you can feel the Doctor’s pain as he relinquishes his memories. He is my favourite Doctor, because I see so much of myself in him.
I love the Akhaten speech because it carries a double meaning. "Oh, you like to think you're a god. You're not a god, you're just a parasite, eaten out with jealousy and envy and longing for the lives of others. You feed on them, on the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow!" It's so powerful because the Doctor understands that he is a parasyte, as well, and is speaking as much about himself as he was Akhaten.
@@Robertl-xz6yl matt was a great actor his writer just didnt go in the same directions as past writers or the same style i think (this is me trying to recall from years ago) but matt himself was a great doctor.
Idk, you can see pictures of Smith being sad and tearful after they filmed his last scene. Only other person I know that cried at the end of their time of being the doctor was Capaldi.
Capaldi´s speech is just different than the rest. The RAW emotion, the actual pain in his voice. I am yet to see a more impressive performance in a movie or show. Every time I hear that speech I start crying because he portrays The Doctor´s pain perfectly.
@@83nuvola Tennant’s still my favourite because he’s fun. I started Capaldi and didn’t like the change and stopped watching for a bit. Came back later, and respect his Doctor so much more. A little life experience/pain and I understand his Doctor so much more. Brilliant acting/portrayal!
@@samairborneshepherd Tennant's doctor was not just fun: it was also portrayed in a great way by a great actor, despite the writer's ability not always on par with him. Capaldi to me added not just pain, but depth and experience, both as an actor and as a character. I liked that these two things matched. A more experienced doctor, with centuries of good and bad experiences, portrayed by a definitely more experienced actor: i am not talking against Tennant, but Capaldi played an episode where he was the only person on screen, and carried on his shoulders more than one episode that would otherwise be just poorly written. Also, he was able to put all of this together with a character who was still able to feel the emotions as strongly as a young man. It's easy to get old, experienced, and cynical, and sometimes Capaldi's doctor could have looked more cynical than other doctors. The truth is he was just disoriented, but despite his older appearance he had an immortal young spark inside him, so strong that soon it started shining, despite whatever happened inside and around him. 12th is my doctor.
Tenth was such a hero to me. Kind, just and will break the rules everytime to save someone...the only thing that could kill him could never be an enemy, but a friend. That's the thing about kind, smart people...they're never in danger of people who hate them, only the ones they love because the more you care the more you can hurt.
I think Ten said something along those lines once when he was talking about his companions. Something like “Some leave. Some move on. Some forget. In the end, I suppose, they break my heart.” The writing. I swear. Even just the simple “I forgive you” to the Master, after EVERYTHING. Ten is most definitely my Doctor as well.
Ten-nant will always be my favorite Doctor. Smith's run had some absolutely amazing and exceptional scenes (such as "And you are LATE FOR MY WEDDING!"), but Tennant really truly embodies the Doctor for me. I'm really looking forward to seeing him reprise his role.
Tennant's final speech always gets me, doesn't matter how many times i've heard it. The 10th doctor was so full of anger, sadness and regret, he portrayed it incredibly well
Sadly a lot of people didn't get that about him. If they had listened to Smith Doctors regeneration statement they'd recall him very pointedly stating the how the time for fun and games was over, it was time for him to get serious and get down to business. Peter said the older, I'm done taking your shit Doctor perfectly I think
Seeing number 1 performed live with a choir and orchestra with Matt Smith’s speech reverberating in the theatre is an experience that still gives tears.
"No-one else will ever have to live like this, no-one else will have to feel this pain! Not on my watch!" This gets me everytime, I've made this my motto of dealing with my abusive past
Basically what I say when dealing with my past. I won't be like my parents to my children. I won't put them through the things I had to go through. Break the cycle brother.
I get so emotional with that line. It reminds me of Robin Williams, and how sad/hurt people will try extra hard to help/support others so that they don’t hurt like they do. 😢
I love how most people talk about Matt Smith and David Tennants speeches. But no one really touches on Peter Capaldi's. His speech about how wars are all the same, they all end the same and there is no way to solve it unless we just talk nearly made me cry and still nearly makes me cry. It tells us about the truth of our reality. Even the fictional creation of a genius realizes it. So I shall just say, lets listen closely and lead by the example of the 12th Doctor.
@@charlieharcombe7585 that was the first time his speeches broke my heart. Because you understand his understanding of his actions during the Time War. He believed he personally killed his entire race. That changed later, but never mind that. He saw his people in Jenny and losses her too. Just imagine that. Losing everything and still showing mercy
Capaldi's Zygon speech, it's perfect. it shows apart of the Doctor that's ancient, aged and tired. Capaldi wanted to be the Doctor as a kid, but damn in my opinion he's either the only one, or one of the few who became the Doctor with his performances, others act, but he did something else entirely. I miss Capaldi.
I miss Christopher Eccelston, crazy and deeply sad, trying to run away from heartache and loneliness. No matter what .....his attitude was: The show must go on.... and smile!
The 12th Doctors Zygon speech is so great, not only because you get a good glimpse of the Doctor's PTSD and his guilt thereof, even though 12 knows he saved Gallifrey, he still spent countless lives thinking he hadn't, which still left it's toll, and Clara's reaction. In this scene Clara is seeing the War Doctor in him come out for probably the first time since the 50th, and she understands him more than anyone else there, so you can tell that she feels the same way the Doctor does, and that's pretty sad.
That's the thing about PTSD, it doesn't really matter if the doctor saved Gallifrey or burnt it from existence because he believed for so long that he was not only the last of his people but that he had destroyed them all. Certainly knowing that he had instead saved his world from destruction was a massive weight off of him but it still left a deep impression on him. PTSD affects you in so many ways and it's not something that can easily be brushed aside.
@@LordTKIIClara is still there, two Zygons are holding her in the scene. You can tell if its Clara or Bonnie by looking at Jenna's hair. Both characters have different hairstyles.
What I noticed with Wilfred, is, I think, he came closest to a father figure that the Doctor ever had. The one who comforted him and was there for him when the Doctor needed a father who could tell him its gonna be alright...
time lords have no parents they use looms to reproduce The doctor is the only one had a father because of the Other (he was around rassalon and omega's era and he is the doctor he jumped into the looms
@@Mosdra_Kazuma oh please, if youre going to use a piece of original fiction as a basis of fact you could have anything! Time Lords have family just like humans
'This is what I get, my reward. BUT IT'S NOT FAIR!' That line hit me. The doctor wished he can get more out of his bodies and his lives, wanting to be happy just for one second.
And of course, we all know that he's talking about the fez that Amy ripped off his head and tossed for River to shoot, and also the cowboy hat that river shot off his head.. Boy, what has River got against hats?
Rory's love for Amy - that's how it's supposed to be. It's an awesome, huge, completely impossible to understand unless you've truly been in love that much yourself. It's exactly how I felt about my husband. Rory was amazing.
I know people get upset sometimes that Ten has such a dramatic speech about dying and how they hate his final words, but it's really perfect for him. He just needed someone to understand how he was feeling, all his friends were gone. I really love the look he gives Wilfred when Wilfred said to leave hi. He never would, he knows he never would
The third one is so heartbreaking. When The Doctor knows he's going to save Wil but every conscious fibre of his being is furious at his own nature. He wants to do so much more, fight against himself, but he knows he can't. He knows that if he leaves him there, if he leaves that one old, insignificant man to die, then he will never forgive himself. In the end, he never really had a choice. He's The Doctor. He's lived too long. And Capaldi. Oh Capaldi. Nobody channels emotion like him.
Yesss ! People that finally get it @Ayla Alya ! Like you can tell from the very start that he's going to save wilf there is no doubt about it, but at the same time he's going through the stages of grief of his incoming death. And the thought that even of it's just a small part of himself that truly wishes he could leave Wilf behind, that that little bit is far too much, he cements it to himself that he really has lived too long
@Ayla Alya I think it's all those things and more. Wilf was more than a father-like figure, he was everything The Doctor admired about humanity. Brave, considerate, supportive, compassionate and selfless. I think The Doctor saw the man he tries to be every day in Wilf, and that letting him die was tantamount to letting that ideal die in himself too. That was unforgivable.
11 is an interesting doctor because he acts happy and goofy most of the time, but occasionally he shows his real feelings. He shows anger, self loathing, regret, and extreme sorrow. His personality is really more of a mask. Edit: Holy shit this is the most likes I've ever gotten.
The man who regrets become the man who forgets, 11 used humour and fun to pretend as though the timewar never happened. 12 was the most complete incarnation of the Doctor, Capaldi's Doctor is the version of himself that doesn't hide who he is and what he's done. He accepts himself, for better or worse
@@CommodoreMudkip I always kind of wish Capaldi had better scripts to work with. He's one of my favourite ones .. but in terms of episodes he doesn't really have the same high notes as some of the others.
@@salm-wt3wm his last two seasons were amazing. It's a shame they found their stride so late, because when it worked, it was some of the best television ever.
12's speech is so underrated. His take on war is spot on. When they fire the first shots they have no idea who is going to die. And then all the sides to a war will always have to do what they always had to do from the beginning: sit down and TALK. Absolutely brilliant and truthful speech.
@@WigleyboyHe does it on purpose though, he's making fun of them for not taking it seriously enough by acting like a gameshow host. I really like it personally. Like he's manic with how little they were understanding what he was saying by that point
My favorite speech that isn't on here is the one that 12 gives right before he regenerates. I just love how he's completely alone in the tardis and hes giving all of this amazing advice to someone who he'll be in the future. And then everything that he says actually comes into 13's time. She follows each piece of his advice to the tee and its beautiful
i actually love that scene because of the irony: i disagree, Chibnall ruined 13, and everything i dislike about the writing is when she breaks the rules
@@dibspicer554 i dont think its necessarily capaldi that was bad, mostly just the writing, he definitely had shining moments thats for sure, jodie kinda sucked as the doctor along with the writing for the show being lame
Number 3: 'its my honor' In all his rage the doctor finally realised that it's his destiny to die there, and if he chose not to, he'd likely die soon after or not be able to live with the guilt It was his honour to save Wilfred, because if he has to die, at least he does it saving one of the best men he's ever known
Better yet, I'm not sure if it was the character of Wifred Mott or his actor, but I know that whichever it is, one of them was a WW2 Veteran who never fired a single shot.
@@antman2443 Not quite. I have not found anything confirming Bernard Cribbins never firing a shot (if you do have a source, though, I would love to see it). Wilfred, the character, is the one who survived World War II without killing anyone. That being said, in real life, Corporal Desmond Doss of the U.S Army who served as a combat medic during WWII who is, indeed, known for never killing anyone on the battlefield nor carrying a weapon, hence his eventual assignment as a medic. He got multiple awards and medals for various feats, including the Medal of Honor, so if you're looking for a RL equivalent to Wil, there you go. :P
The speech that they forgot on this list, is the one where Matt calls Clara on the TARDIS phone telling her to be patient with the new doctor because he's scared.
The best part? Jenny’s actor and Tennant are in real life married, and Jenny’s actor is also the daughter of Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor. The Doctor is not only his own father in law, but married to his own daughter... *sweet home Gallifrey, where the TARDIS is blue!*
They weren't married yet. Georgia Moffett, daughter of Peter Davison (the 5th Doctor), met David Tennant (the 10th Doctor) in a 2008 episode called "The Doctor's Daughter," where she played the 10th Doctor's daughter, only to later date Tennant and marry at the end of 2011. But yes, in a way, the Doctor is his own father-in-law.
@@reldridge86 wanna know a stinger though? David and Georgia's son has two favourite doctors. His dear old papa, and Tom Baker. Nobody else. Not another soul. His grandad's ego must be so bruised
Skagkiller1230 If I remember correctly, he was the one who killed the rest of the Time Lords, by his own hands or by an action he took I don’t remember, but he did it in a past life, The Ninth Doctor if I remember correctly. He alone is one of the most dangerous beings in existence, and has seen things that would drive any other being to madness, and committed crimes that nobody could punish him for, because there are no punishments that could fit the scope of his crimes, and as stated by the 12th Doctor, has killed so many people that when he closes his eyes, hears so many screams that he can’t even count them. Safe to say that PTSD doesn’t do it justice.
"Immortality isn’t living forever. That’s not what it feels like. Immortality is everybody else dying. She might meet someone she can’t bear to lose. That happens. I believe." "Look at you, with your eyes. Your never-giving-up. Your anger. Your kindness. And one day, the memory of that will hurt so much that I won’t be able to breathe, and I’ll do what I always do. I’ll get in my box and I’ll run, and I’ll run." “Don’t play games with me. You just killed someone I liked and that is not a safe place to stand! I’m the Doctor, and you’re in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up.” "There's this emperor, and he asks this shepherd's boy... 'How many seconds in eternity?' And the shepherd's boy says... 'There's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.' You must think that's a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird."
dirdib69 “we all change... when you think about it. We’re all different people, all through our lives. And that’s good, you gotta keep moving. As long as you don’t forget all the people that you used to be.” - a personal favourite of mine.
8:22 It’s amazing how well David Tennet portrayed this. The Doctor is tired, and he is ready for death, and you can tell because of his tone and his expression!
I disagree I've always thought the Doctor was desperate to live longer but only resigns himself to death when he realizes he isn't the kind of man who would let Wilfred die. It's tragic when he yells that he could have done so much more. This scene will always be one of my favorites in the whole series. When he finally says I don't want to go, it is heartbreaking.
There are so many good speeches in Doctor Who. I haven’t had the ability to watch the old ones, but Ten’s speech in The Satan Pit, Nine screaming at the Dalek (and its response) and, he might not technically be a Doctor, but John Smith. John Smith, the human Ten who died so universes could live. Unsung hero. Heart wrenching, but so good.
"I've seen fake gods and bad gods and demi-gods and would-be gods. I've had the whole pantheon. But if I believe in one thing… just one thing… I believe in her!"
One of the great things about Wilfred is that even though the doctor is yelling at him and insulting him, he doesn't get upset with the doctor because he knows the doctor and knows he's angry at life because of the situation he's in and he's not angry at him. Instead he tries to make it easy for the doctor to kill him, and he's ready to die for the doctor and for the world
The only thing sadder than someone lashing out at a person they love is that same someone realising how wrong they are when that person takes all their grief, anger and despair so they don't have to hold it alone
The one you included by Capaldi continues to be at the top of my list. Every time I watch it the emotions and thoughts are almost too much to bear. And I never, ever, get through it with dry eyes. It stands as one of the finest examples of script and performance, in harmony. A seamless and perfect fusion of intent and execution. It's a thing of raw and harsh beauty. I'm not sure I'll ever experience another performance that affects me as deeply and viscerally as this one.
Twelfth doctor's war speech is so relatable, even to those who obviously haven't been in that situation you can feel how real the emotions are. Even when everyone else is silent, the silence in response to the doctor's words convey so much emotion.
It was that speech that made me watch his entire run. Prior to that I had only watch Tennant. I was more of a Tennant fan than a Who fan. But Capaldi broke my heart with that speech and I needed to see more
It’s funny how the majority of the best speeches were written by Davis and Moffat. Absolute masters of screen plays that elevated Dr Who to legendary status. I so miss their writing!
Capaldi's "I do what i do because its kind" speech doesn't get enough appreciation. I find it beautiful because it tells you that it's not the result that counts but the effort. All these speeches are so beautiful, so brilliant. I wish the script writers got more credit :)
It just always bugs me that he said, "I don't do it for fun." But for so many years, there's been the idea that he basically ran away from Gallifray with a TARDIS to have fun, and he goes to places because he thinks they'll be dangerous and he likes that. That he's "just a madman in a box."
@@bubble8829 Well I think the idea is that originally, yes, he was just escaping to go have fun, but with everything he's seen, all the things he's experienced, and all the baggage that he carries he now sees it as his responsibility to right wrongs, and he's found it necessary to do his best at having fun while he does it. So, while he doesn't do it "for fun" anymore, he's definitely still "having fun"
I remember the most incredible feeling I've ever felt whilst watching doctor who is the feeling when Wilfred knocked four times on the glass, it still makes me cry to this day.
Wilfred is my hero. He stayed with him and comforted him until the end. I cried more when he said goodbye to the doctor than when the doctor regenerated.
Is it weird I expected the Van Gogh speech from the curator with the nice tie to be on here? I know it’s not a doctor speech, but it’s still one of the greatest speech’s in the series.
OMG Thank you for bring it up. Seeing that speech made me cry. It was so heart breaking and touching seeing him react to what the curator had to say and to know that he still kills himself after hearing it just makes it that much sadder.
Always evokes major emotions. Such a great series for bringing such joy and happiness and moments sadness and pain. Every Doctor has their moment and they have all delivered in one way or another
Honestly, I love all of these speeches and it's so hard to say any precise order for them but I honestly love Capaldi's speech so much more than the others. The depth and emotion and pain and just sheer point he was trying to get across felt so real, almost as if he was screaming it to the entire world. The only way to truly understand each other and move forward, sit down and talk.
there is one thing you never put in a trap, if you’re smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans on seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never ever put in a trap. What would that be sir...
"No one else will ever have to live like this no one else will have to feel this pain. Not on my watch." Litteral chills everytime i hear that line and I dont think that will ever change
It only just now occurred to me that, with 12 knowing the true outcome of the time war, it might have been even more emotionally moving if he had inserted the classic war doctor staple of "No More" somewhere, acknowledging that those words don't represent what they original did.
I think Capaldi had some of the best Doctor speeches of the entire show. Tennat was charming, Smith was fun and entertaining, but the older I get, the more I come to appreciate the depth of Capaldi’s Doctor. He stopped running away from all the hard memories and questions the previous Doctors had avoided and grappled with what it meant to be a good man and owning up to his past. He figured out a way to turn his pain into meaningful inspiration to help other people in their journeys. I absolutely miss these eras of DW
That speech to Wilfred always makes me tear up. I think the acting within that really touched upon the basic desire to live and what that means to give that up.
That speech has to be in any list of best speeches from Dr Who. I've always had a hard time as seeing it as acting though. Yes, it was the end of Regeneration 10/11's time, but it always felt as much and more about the end of David's time as the Doctor than about the end of the Doctor's time in a particular regeneration, that it was, in fact, as much David speaking to the fandom as the Doctor speaking to Wilfried.
I always felt Mat Smith was under utilized. When he was allowed to play serious, he did it so well. Such as in the 50th Anniversary episode, when the three doctors where in the tower talking about hearing the screams.... But they always tried to make him the inner child.
When Matt spoke he really put hid heart and soul into it, Stone-hedge, Rings of achateen, Demon’s run, I am the doctor & you are the Daleks, Spaceship UK, The rules, When the Doctor was me. All of these are not speeches, but they are a few of the moments where the doctors past showed itself and the dark history he had was revealed to the people around him.
bandiceet That was his point. Matt Smith was a hurt man who hid his pain from the people around him with jokes and laughter. This is also why it was so intense when he showed his inner feelings, they had been bottled up for so long that when an opening appeared the all exploded outwards at once, and these moments where were 11:th shined the most.
The story with the doctors daughter was soo sad 😢 Tenants era really had me bawling a lot as a kid even Tenants regeneration 😫 I’m so happy he’s back as the 14th doctor 😭
@@Astrithor "did you wish *really* hard?" I love that episode, firstly because that scene, and second because getting to hear the TARDIS gripe about the Doctor is amazing, and solidifies the fact that the TARDIS is legit a companion too.
Tyzone The point of that line is to start a “rumour”, to plant a seed in the people’s minds which will spread and inevitebly cause someone else to be voted ,out of mistrust of the current leader. It’s hard to explain. It’s like inception
I also love Smith’s speech in Vincent and the Doctor when they take him to the museum He had so many great speeches he was my first and still my favorite Doctor
@@jayjones9108 Just retcon the matrix part in the next season, and we just have to forget about the 13th doctor's stupid story. (then remove the fucking director Jesus his ability to write stories is pathetic)
Political done correctly in scifi You get the point but its not the whole overriding story The story is still sci fi Still doctor Not just politics This is what the last 2 seasons was missing Tring so hard to hit every one in the face with politicsthey dropped the story
@@ninneadeanna Yeah they keep trying to hit us with politics and dropped the story. They retconed the doctor's entire starting point and what the doctor was, a normal alien who helps people. Not become the doctor is more then them not because the doctor is some god but because he/she cares and tries the hardest to make a good outcome. The new story makes the character a literal god that is infinity immortal, why? Because the director fucking sucks at writing, and should be fired for making the show drop from its standpoint. Just how many more will drop till they get it through their skulls, we want evolution of the doctor and his/her's companions and the story around them. Not for things to be changed, rather for things to appear in their lives that add on to them. (Time war being the best example)
Rose: Who are you? The Doctor: [turns around] Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? [walks towards Rose] It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cos everything looks like it's standing still. [looks at Rose] I can feel it. [takes Rose's hand] The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at 1,000 miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... [drops Rose's hand] That's who I am. Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home.
The chunk of dialogue that recontextualized the character of the Doctor for a more modern era, that simultaneously reassured die-hard fans that their beloved property was in good hands and won over a new crowd as well. I don’t think I’d be a doctor who fan if not for this speech.
David and Bernard's scene makes me tear up without fail every time. The pain and angst 10 was carrying all came out at that moment, yet he still composed himself and did what he most likely really did not want to do. He put himself in front of everyone else all the time because he knew he would not be able to think about what could have been otherwise. That is the strength he had.0
When 12 became the doctor, i never really saw him as that. I accepted him, but he never really felt like the doctor to me. Then he gave that Zygon war speech. I don't know why or how, but that scene changed how i saw 12 forever. He went from "not really the Doctor" to my favorite regeneration in one scene that lasted less than 5 minutes. THAT is powerful writing!
Holy crap! Exactly the same experience for me. It just destroyed me and simultaneously thrilled me. Crushing in it's truth and tragedy, joyful in the glory of that performance. I'm so glad you shared that. Thank you.
This was my exact experience. I thought Twelve being so cold towards people when their friends/family died was very unlike the Doctor but season 9 and this speech in particular changed my mind. He's one of my favorite doctors now
Unfortunately, Chinballs couldn’t write his way out of a short story competition. The thing that killed Jodie’s run for me was retconning so much established canon in a “screw you, I’ll do what I want” manner. I hate the Timeless Child storyline, as it cheapens any of the Doctor’s original regenerations, or those moments where the Doctor has put himself in a situation where the only way out is his death over that of his companions. The stories were so-so throughout Jodie’s run, but that one piece of ham-fisted retconning has soured the show for me.
@@KitNoxious I really wish Jodie had a season with Moffat or Davies writing. There's times that she genuinely gets a well written scene and she's great but she just doesn't get them that often. I feel like it's the odd guest writer giving her these moments, while past Doctors had the head writer and some guest writers giving them these moments.
love how the actor who played the doctor married the daughter of an actor who played the doctor and who herself played the daughter of the doctor and who gave birth to a little girl who was literally the daughter of the doctor!
The classic series had its fair share of great speeches too. Four mulling over wiping out the Daleks, Six's railing against the Time Lords, Seven's "unlimited rice pudding" and of course One's farewell speech to Susan.
To me, Akhaten will always be the one that moved me to tears. I had just had my heart broken when my wife told me that she didn’t want me to be her husband any more. I was broken and suicidal. I went to see my best friends and my goddaughter. We were watching this episode and I just burst into tears, holding a baby that I recognised that I loved more than life itself. The Doctors speech just moved me in a way I have never since. Even now, watching this, I am crying. But these are happy tears. They are the memory of everything that brought me here. They are my leaf. They are the path through the anguish, self loathing, rage and my heartfelt wish to die that encompassed me for years after, and continue to do so today. The Rings of Akhaten is the best episode Matt Smith ever did. Because it saved me. It made me realise that the most important love is of your existence. If you cannot love yourself, even if only for a millisecond, then you have lost. If you ever have these feelings, if you *ever* wish that you were dead, please, I beg you, get help. Talk to someone - I went to the doctor after I held a kitchen knife to my throat and glimpsed myself in the window. I still suffer daily with thoughts that plague my brain, make me feel that my life is not worth living. I am lucky that I have people that make my life worth living. Please. Get help.
My friend, I know we never met but I am proud you coming up and admitting this. And I am honestly so so sorry you went through that. The fact that ONE doctor who episode made you so much feel better is amazing. I don't feel comfortable putting it here, but Doctor Who changed my life for the better. And I will always love it for that. (All I'll say is, the "man who never would" speech really really helped me)
This episode... honestly same. I was very suicidal at the time I first saw this episode. Rivers of tears, still crying every time I see it. Life got better for me, in some way. I'm so proud of us, brother. We got strength to keep going. Even if this is because there's someone else in our lives to live for. But, hope doesn't go away from you, you just grow deaf to it. You will hear it's song again. That I now understand. Get help, please. The world only has one you, there's no copies
Mass genocide of not one sentient race, but 2, in order to save all of reality. That is a war. 2 point something billion Time lord children died by his hands. Think how many adults and daleks there were. (I know the daleks are the bad guys. But genocide of even the most evil race is not a decision to be made lightly)
@@TSotP exactly. That's why the War Doctor is so incredibly done with life and himself. He knows what he's gonna do, and knows that he absolutely fucking shouldn't, but he ends up doing it anyway.
I love how most of the fanbase seems to agree that the Rings speech is probably the best the Doctor has ever given, and yet... In the scale of things, that episode is incredibly minor. Just goes to show what they could do when they really tried
Also, haven't seen the episode in a long time, but it didn't work. Clara had to sacrifice the leaf that represented her mother and the infinite amount of memories they would never get to share.
I had such a hard time getting used to Capaldi as the Doctor cause his regeneration was so dark and coarse.... But his speech right here in the Zygon Inversion, it so cemented him as the Doctor for me. I still get choked up when I see this clip!

This list contains my favourite 5 speeches. There plenty of others that could have made the cut and it was very difficult to narrow it down. If you disagree with my list make sure to debate in the comments below 👍
My favorite Doctor Who moment was a speech, the 11th. “So basically... run.”
I agree with number 1, that's still one of my favorite speeches. The rest of the list I'd change though.
11's very first speech with all the visuals of his past incarnations before he finally emerges from the face of David Tennant wearing his own costume for the first time.
The Speech 12 gives to the Master and the Mistress which is really the only time he really felt like the Doctor to me.
The Pandorica Speech.
And since I can't think of another one I guess the Zygon Speech can stay on there too.
@@RialVestro i think David Tennant was the 10th. Matt Smith was the 11th
I love the 12th Doctor
Hey, I love this video! 🥰 so well made! Do you think maybe you could write down the episodes that they come from?
Capaldi's war speech hits hard when you realise he's not trying to stop a war, he's trying to save the combatants from living with the cost of it.
That's what I did today why it made me cry
Capaldo is truly a master at making us feel for what he’s saykng
Yeah By stopping a war hahahaha
I like this take. Because... sometimes you can't sit down and talk. Sometimes you don't have a voice, unless you, or someone fights to give it to you.
It really got to me. I cried.
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to learn why I have so many".
-11th Doctor
I hate how much this hurts
That scene will forever be one of my favorites. That's actually the scene that made me want to watch the show.
It hurts thinking how true that is.
Some of us live that statement. Keeping yourself on a tight leash because you know what can and will happen if you let it slip, and not just a little bit.
This was one amazing quote to be sure, but it was only one quote, not a speech
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many."
Two sentences that shows just how aware he is of what he could unleash if he so wished.
Seriously if the doctor went bad he'd make the master shiver with fear
@@potheadpalsentertainment161the valeyard.
@@potheadpalsentertainment161 To think we saw a mere glimpse of The Time Lord Victorious. Truly terrifying to think what The Doctor is truly capable of.
"don't play games with me, don't ever ever think your capable of that"
one of my fav matt smiths lines
wen't from happily dancing around the tardis to insanely serious in a matter of seconds
@@bas42946 He also usded this line (10) against the Vashta Nerada (silence in the libraray):
Don't play game with me... You've just killed someone i liked, that is not a safe place to stand.... (something like this).
It was cold, terrifying yet... comforting.
I wish they added the rest of 11th’s regeneration speech of when he was in the tardis. It always made me cry, especially “I will always remember when the The Doctor was me”
The moment when you-know-who walks down the steps never fails to make me cry.
Hell yeah
So true!😢
The Atraxi speech was also really good.
Even today they asked Matt Smith about playing the Doctor and he literally repeated those words
“You’re my daughter”
- David says to his wife
Who is actually the doctor's daughter
Emilia Robson IK IT WAS LIKE A YEAR AGO I FOUND THAT OUT AND IT WAS JUS SHWHSHWHSWH WHAT
BRIAL HPAA and it’s crazy how Peter Davison is Georgia’s dad, meaning both her father and husband are The Doctor. 😂😂
Silver_Gacha what do you mean?
Emilia Robson well he is her daddy
I love how from the daleks perspective, the doctor broke universal laws of time and space just out of spite because they tried to dictate rules to him
Imagine telling your worst most hated enemy, your *NEMISIS* the hes unable to do things under universal law and he breaks just cause "fuck you"
@@jakobwendt8999 "You cant break the rules of space and time!"
"TOO LATE!"
“No you can’t break the universal laws of space and time!” “hahaha thirteenth regeneration go whirrrrr”
That's what I loved about Smith, he was a giddy Doctor who laughed in the face of his most dangerous enemies
Chinny (11th): yes I want to go to the tower with my co-conspirators sandshoes and grandad.
Grandad (War): grandad!?
Sandshoes(10th): THerE nOt SanDshOeS!
Grandad(war) yeS tHeY aRe!
and this is why these three men will always be The Doctor to me. Tennant, Smith, Capaldi. you couldn’t rip the Doctor from their hearts if you tried, their performances were SSS+ tier.
Eccleston too
@@djpunyer8762 I'll always wish Eccleston could have got the standard 3 seasons. Definitely an underrated performance.
@@Wigleyboy me too mate
@@djpunyer8762 Eccleston was great definitely a good Doctor, but (maybe its because he has only one season) he is not on the level of Tennant, Smith and Capaldi in my book, and this his doctor didnt have this chatting fiber, he was talking sure but it didnt have the same impact Tennant, Smith and Capaldi could have
ps : I havent seen Jodie's era yet, so I cant compare her to others
@@Martin-dx6qr Eccleston's run was short, but memorable. Especially in the episode "Dalek." "The Daleks have failed! Why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct? Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just *_DIE?!"_* He was so emotional, and so broken from the time war, and you BELIEVE he's a broken war survivor. That's honestly what makes Rose a really special companion-no matter how many times he either tried to push her away with some "stupid ape" comment or "for a human" comment, she stuck around. She's a solid companion.
R.I.P Bernard Cribbins, the grandad to England. When Wilfred says goodbye to the doctor at the wedding breaks my heart every time and that was all of us when we heard about his death, waving him off. Godspeed.
I came here to shed a tear at most, not to cry my ass off
@@oktoberdead my bad
The most wonderful man, to use Wilf’s words.
Wait, the best ol' boi is dead😢
@@Zman0505268 yeah
heartbreaking
pretty sure the best speech was:
"Whatever you've got planned, forget it. I'm the Doctor. I'm 904 years old. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I am the oncoming storm! The bringer of darkness and you ... are basically just a rabbit aren't you? OK, carry on. Just a ... general ... warning."
Best line ever lmao
The rabbit was really bringing it, too.
Obviously
Yes
Doesn't it just perfectly show the utter narcissism and ego of 10, he loves spouting those words doesn't he?
“I’ve seen things you will never believe
I’ve lost things YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND” hits harder than a semi-truck
Hits harder than a nuke.
Hi lads and lasses
Yeah.. the "I know things, secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken" really portrays the loneliness really well...
My favorite doctor moment so far. I wasnt too big on the episode when i saw it, but that speech and that moment is my favorite speech of all time of his.
I remember this from a mlp comic dub, now I know where it came from.
The sacrifice Tenant made for Wilfred was so perfect. Wilfred accepted his fate but the doctor couldn’t bear letting his friend die.
I loved ten's speech to Wilfred. Literally every word he says is 100% true. Wilfred is just an old man close to the end of his life and ten could do so much more good with his life than Wilfred could possibly do with his remaining time. He has also done so much good that he has more than earned someone else sacrificing for him for a change. He also knows that he could never live with himself if he let Wilfred die for him.
This is also his redemption for Waters of Mars where people were doomed to die and he broke the laws of time to save them. He could have let Wilf die but 1) he’d regret it and 2) he knows his role as the doctor is to save people. We love the doctor because even though he can regenerate he doesn’t act invincible, he still treats each regeneration like dying.
I feel like that Tennant speech to Wilfred is part of the he came back as the Doctor. He felt he had so much left to do and didn't want to go.
And the fact that he knows he hasn’t got a choice, it’s not him struggling to make a decision whether or not to save wilf. The second he hears the knock he KNOWS it’s his death sentence. Even in the end, he knew he wouldn’t do anything other than save wilf because how could he?
There’s a comic where you see what happens if he did let Wilfred die and it turns him into a tyrant that rules over Gallifrey
I just wish they had kept the knock in that scene they showd. For any that don't know, The Doctor was told "He will knock 4 times, and then you will die" by an actual soothsayer in the middle of these specials, and does everything he can to stop every sequence of 4 knocks for hours of screen time to delay his death. Then finally, Wilfred knocks 4 times to get the Doctor's attention
That line. "Ive lived too long". He realized he overstayed his regeneration. He became timelord victorious, he forgot who he suppose to be, the doctor. He began to not care anymore. Its time he leaves. No better way than by the hand of his friend.
Better to die a hero then to live long enough to become a villain.
Overstayed his regeneration isn't really an easy term to use for tennant's doctor when you consider Smith's likely aged a couple thousand years by the time he regenerated
Eric Cartman Yet, Matt Smith’s Doctor was needed to defend the town from Cybermen. He may have been old, but he was needed
@@charlleedodson tennant may not have been needed but he certainly still could've done good in the world. He didn't really overstay
Eric Cartman I never said anything about tennant?
Wilfred is a hero. He may have been confused about everything, but he stayed with the doctor, comforted him, and was willing to give his life to save the planet.
The thing I love about that bit and about Wilfreds character is he didn’t even get stuck because he was trying to save the planet, not at first. He was willing to give his life to save the Doctor but he got stuck because he was saving one other person. He saw another person stuck and didn’t hesitate to try to help them. Wilfred was a fantastic character
The best companion
GOD SAVE THE WILF
and to think his character was originally planned to be a one off. Love the man to death; he's one of those characters you can count on to do the right thing, even if it it means he gets himself into some trouble. Probably my favorite scene of his was when he shot the Dalek in the eyestalk with an egg. Man had balls of steel
Yesss❤❤
Murray Gold deserves SO much credit for the music behind the Akhaten scene and many others… This man was the musical director of “Doctor Who” from 2005 to 2017 - he gave us the songs of Akhaten, the Ood, every intro song variation during that timeframe, the River Song theme… I cannot stress enough how important his contribution has been to this show 🎶💕🙏🏻
Be excited Murray Gold is making a return for the 60th Anniversary specials & onwards.
Yes, like ol Dudley Simpson in the 70s with his atmospheric and creepy music in Blakes 7 and Doctor Who. The first appearance of Davros in Genesis of the Daleks was greatly increased in tension, fear and horror by his music. Murray Gold was the same, giving the show a whole identity for a new generation. Then Chibnut got rid of him in favour of an tone deaf idiot with a synth and a fixation on dustbin lids for cymbals....I have never heard anything that bad. And its worse as Murray Gold was so good. Where could you go but down? And that is what they did, every single thing that was good in the show was wrecked over the course of the first Chibnall season, from the Doctor, to Script and Stories, acting and music it all went in the toilet. And there desperate attempt to fix and turn it around is to bring back RTD. And if things were so amazing they would not have needed to do that at all.....I hope they turn it around, but I wont be watching, they lost me as a viewer for good. I have no desire to see a Tardis with an openly gay doctor and various other trans actors and drag queens in tow.....its just too much....
He is very deserving of the name "Gold". He's incredibly talented, and you can feel his dedication and passion in his music. No matter how many times I watch this show, the music and performances always knock me off my feet. The writing is mostly good, although there are some bad episodes (in my opinion), but I absolutely adore each of these Doctors
The Doctor’s theme from the first seasons will always be a favorite of mine
11's catch phrase was Geronimo but honestly he said "Well come on then!" a lot as well and I love it. 10 was out there being the on coming storm and 11 was the one that challenged everyone to come get some.
11's catchphrases were really "Bow ties are cool" and "Come along Pond".
Some lines are just lines you know when you say you can fall into character for and “Well come on then” is one of them
I was really hoping the Doctor's speech atop of Stone Henge in The Pandorica Opens would be on this list.
“We’re breaking some serious science here bois” I’m dying.
I’m crying
@@drmosaratak A soul died, a soul cried, so I will continue on laughing with all my might.
rule 1: the doctor lies
Ordered Entropy , Forever Alone in the dark of Midnight
Best doctor of all time
When the Doctor realises the 4 knocks were from Wilfred, absolutely heartbreaking :'(
I cried ;-;
Timestamp?
my man thought he cheated death and was happy for a solid 5 seconds before he got jerked back into reality
It broke my heart... For me it's the saddest scene in all of Doctor Who...
Can you imagine how much his heart broke when he realised that his 'death' came not from his enemies but from one of his closest and most beloved friends....
Eleven’s Akhaten speech always gets my eyes welling up with tears. Matt delivers the speech with such believable conviction behind his words, you can feel the Doctor’s pain as he relinquishes his memories. He is my favourite Doctor, because I see so much of myself in him.
Nothing compared to David and Capaldi's speeches. Sorry
Elevens Speech was Perfect Capaldi's to Davids Speech was Good but Elevens was my Favorite because you can hear the Pain of these Memories Stacking up
I agree with you strongly on your post matt Smith was always my best doctor.
Honestly no one else could have delivered it, i heard a david tenent version but it didnt hit right (the david tenent version is on TH-cam somewhere)
@@jjb4531 unnecessary
I love the Akhaten speech because it carries a double meaning.
"Oh, you like to think you're a god. You're not a god, you're just a parasite, eaten out with jealousy and envy and longing for the lives of others. You feed on them, on the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow!"
It's so powerful because the Doctor understands that he is a parasyte, as well, and is speaking as much about himself as he was Akhaten.
Mat Smith regeneration speech
*"when the doctor was me"*
His entire farewell speech makes me cry every time I watch it.
Darkest Twilight Matt Smith was a joke, terrible actor
@@Robertl-xz6yl matt was a great actor his writer just didnt go in the same directions as past writers or the same style i think (this is me trying to recall from years ago) but matt himself was a great doctor.
@ISHANN SUBEDI even when it was it was never bad, objectively speaking.
that speech breaks my heart
I swear Matt Smith was having a blast when he was preforming his regeneration scene on top of the clock tower
He definitely looked like he was 😂😂
Idk, you can see pictures of Smith being sad and tearful after they filmed his last scene.
Only other person I know that cried at the end of their time of being the doctor was Capaldi.
@@thenostalgiaspirit3365 David Tennant was absolutely distraught tbh... Behind the scenes as well as on camera tbh.
@@watsername yea he was something special but tbh they all are yes even 13th they are all the doctor truly
He was always having a blast
Capaldi´s speech is just different than the rest. The RAW emotion, the actual pain in his voice. I am yet to see a more impressive performance in a movie or show. Every time I hear that speech I start crying because he portrays The Doctor´s pain perfectly.
Yeah, Tennant was amazing, but Capaldi was even greater. Definitely my doctor.
@@83nuvola Tennant’s still my favourite because he’s fun. I started Capaldi and didn’t like the change and stopped watching for a bit. Came back later, and respect his Doctor so much more. A little life experience/pain and I understand his Doctor so much more. Brilliant acting/portrayal!
@@samairborneshepherd Tennant's doctor was not just fun: it was also portrayed in a great way by a great actor, despite the writer's ability not always on par with him. Capaldi to me added not just pain, but depth and experience, both as an actor and as a character. I liked that these two things matched. A more experienced doctor, with centuries of good and bad experiences, portrayed by a definitely more experienced actor: i am not talking against Tennant, but Capaldi played an episode where he was the only person on screen, and carried on his shoulders more than one episode that would otherwise be just poorly written. Also, he was able to put all of this together with a character who was still able to feel the emotions as strongly as a young man. It's easy to get old, experienced, and cynical, and sometimes Capaldi's doctor could have looked more cynical than other doctors. The truth is he was just disoriented, but despite his older appearance he had an immortal young spark inside him, so strong that soon it started shining, despite whatever happened inside and around him. 12th is my doctor.
Tenth was such a hero to me. Kind, just and will break the rules everytime to save someone...the only thing that could kill him could never be an enemy, but a friend. That's the thing about kind, smart people...they're never in danger of people who hate them, only the ones they love because the more you care the more you can hurt.
Dang, well said
I think Ten said something along those lines once when he was talking about his companions. Something like “Some leave. Some move on. Some forget. In the end, I suppose, they break my heart.” The writing. I swear. Even just the simple “I forgive you” to the Master, after EVERYTHING. Ten is most definitely my Doctor as well.
@@icemagiciangh3268Mine as well.
Ten-nant will always be my favorite Doctor. Smith's run had some absolutely amazing and exceptional scenes (such as "And you are LATE FOR MY WEDDING!"), but Tennant really truly embodies the Doctor for me. I'm really looking forward to seeing him reprise his role.
Tennant's final speech always gets me, doesn't matter how many times i've heard it. The 10th doctor was so full of anger, sadness and regret, he portrayed it incredibly well
Sadly a lot of people didn't get that about him. If they had listened to Smith Doctors regeneration statement they'd recall him very pointedly stating the how the time for fun and games was over, it was time for him to get serious and get down to business.
Peter said the older, I'm done taking your shit Doctor perfectly I think
That’s why he’s my favorite
The doctor that regrets and the doctor that forgets
HannibalKantter He blames himself for everyone who has killed themselves saving him, Astrid, Rose, Donna and nearly Wilfred
Actually he’s the 12th at thus point
“I’ll always remember... when doctor was me.”
-11th Doctor.
This speech made me see his regenerations so differently, it should’ve been on here imo.
Yeah, I strongly agree. It was such a unique moment
In truth, Matt had some of the best speeches. Hard to marrow it down to one.
It is a credit to the show that you can even argue about this
@@doleh23 time of the doctor
@@doleh23 can't rewatch to see which one that was but assuming rings of ahkennaten
Seeing number 1 performed live with a choir and orchestra with Matt Smith’s speech reverberating in the theatre is an experience that still gives tears.
Where/when was this live?
I’m jealous. Glad someone made that a thing we can experience!
"No-one else will ever have to live like this, no-one else will have to feel this pain! Not on my watch!" This gets me everytime, I've made this my motto of dealing with my abusive past
Basically what I say when dealing with my past. I won't be like my parents to my children. I won't put them through the things I had to go through. Break the cycle brother.
I get so emotional with that line. It reminds me of Robin Williams, and how sad/hurt people will try extra hard to help/support others so that they don’t hurt like they do. 😢
I love how most people talk about Matt Smith and David Tennants speeches. But no one really touches on Peter Capaldi's. His speech about how wars are all the same, they all end the same and there is no way to solve it unless we just talk nearly made me cry and still nearly makes me cry. It tells us about the truth of our reality. Even the fictional creation of a genius realizes it. So I shall just say, lets listen closely and lead by the example of the 12th Doctor.
Similar to tennants “a man who never would” speech
@@charlieharcombe7585 that was the first time his speeches broke my heart. Because you understand his understanding of his actions during the Time War. He believed he personally killed his entire race. That changed later, but never mind that. He saw his people in Jenny and losses her too. Just imagine that. Losing everything and still showing mercy
@@lastat00293 ikr. Gut wrenching. Could not imagine
Yes. Well-stated- and true. Nothing else further need be said.
Capaldi had lots of great speaches his one on tardis is a good one. Albeit strange. Or the bootstrap paradox that was good.
Capaldi's Zygon speech, it's perfect. it shows apart of the Doctor that's ancient, aged and tired. Capaldi wanted to be the Doctor as a kid, but damn in my opinion he's either the only one, or one of the few who became the Doctor with his performances, others act, but he did something else entirely. I miss Capaldi.
Agreed... ✌️
It's also perfect for today with all the stupid people

It's such a shame we didn't get the standard 3 seasons of Eccleston. Such an underrated Doctor.
Finally, a comment about Nine. His speeches with the Dalek in the first season. His bittersweet final talk with Rose. My heart
@@Wigleyboy Personality conflicts can have unfortunate repercussions...Still, because of them, we got John Hurt's performance as the War Doctor...
He deserved a second season
The 12th Doctors Zygon speech is so great, not only because you get a good glimpse of the Doctor's PTSD and his guilt thereof, even though 12 knows he saved Gallifrey, he still spent countless lives thinking he hadn't, which still left it's toll, and Clara's reaction. In this scene Clara is seeing the War Doctor in him come out for probably the first time since the 50th, and she understands him more than anyone else there, so you can tell that she feels the same way the Doctor does, and that's pretty sad.
Speaking about war, look at the helmet behind him^^'
That's the thing about PTSD, it doesn't really matter if the doctor saved Gallifrey or burnt it from existence because he believed for so long that he was not only the last of his people but that he had destroyed them all.
Certainly knowing that he had instead saved his world from destruction was a massive weight off of him but it still left a deep impression on him.
PTSD affects you in so many ways and it's not something that can easily be brushed aside.
Except that isn't Clara in that scene
@@LordTKIIClara is still there, two Zygons are holding her in the scene. You can tell if its Clara or Bonnie by looking at Jenna's hair. Both characters have different hairstyles.
@@rudrasingh6354 You're right, I literally didn't notice her.
What I noticed with Wilfred, is, I think, he came closest to a father figure that the Doctor ever had. The one who comforted him and was there for him when the Doctor needed a father who could tell him its gonna be alright...
time lords have no parents they use looms to reproduce The doctor is the only one had a father because of the Other (he was around rassalon and omega's era and he is the doctor he jumped into the looms

Mosdra Kazuma Where was that said?
@@grassdog46 hes read the novel lungburrow, but its not accepted canon!
'This is what I get, my reward. BUT IT'S NOT FAIR!'
That line hit me. The doctor wished he can get more out of his bodies and his lives, wanting to be happy just for one second.
At at his moment of regeneration: "I don't want to go."
The tenth doctor lived only for 6 years btw
Like I little kid
I could do so much more so much more
no he only lived for 6 years in that body compared to the others and tbf. hes lost a lot of people throughout his incarantion.
Watching clip #3 still hurts.
Rest in peace, Bernard Cribbins, you were truly incredible.
Matt Smith's "I've seen things" speech literally makes me cry and it's been years since I first watched it. The singing in the background UGHHH😭😭🤌🤌
Nothing on 10 or 12s and the music is Average
Anything that comes out of Peter Capaldi’s mouth is just gold.
"Don't be a lasagne"
And above all, BE KIND
Never ever eat pears!
Is just Murray Gold. Get it , because the long song is written by Murray gold , and you said go- ok never mind, bad joke xD
"HEY YOU! BIG SEXY LADY!"
or
"It's the eyebrows. They're ATTACK eyebrows!"
"I've lost things you will never understand" still gives me goosebumps.
And of course, we all know that he's talking about the fez that Amy ripped off his head and tossed for River to shoot, and also the cowboy hat that river shot off his head..

Rory -
" I have a message and a question...."
imo - is the best speech ever.
Rory's love for Amy - that's how it's supposed to be. It's an awesome, huge, completely impossible to understand unless you've truly been in love that much yourself. It's exactly how I felt about my husband.
Rory was amazing.
I know people get upset sometimes that Ten has such a dramatic speech about dying and how they hate his final words, but it's really perfect for him. He just needed someone to understand how he was feeling, all his friends were gone. I really love the look he gives Wilfred when Wilfred said to leave hi. He never would, he knows he never would
The third one is so heartbreaking. When The Doctor knows he's going to save Wil but every conscious fibre of his being is furious at his own nature. He wants to do so much more, fight against himself, but he knows he can't. He knows that if he leaves him there, if he leaves that one old, insignificant man to die, then he will never forgive himself. In the end, he never really had a choice. He's The Doctor. He's lived too long.
And Capaldi. Oh Capaldi. Nobody channels emotion like him.
Yesss ! People that finally get it @Ayla Alya ! Like you can tell from the very start that he's going to save wilf there is no doubt about it, but at the same time he's going through the stages of grief of his incoming death. And the thought that even of it's just a small part of himself that truly wishes he could leave Wilf behind, that that little bit is far too much, he cements it to himself that he really has lived too long
@Ayla Alya I think it's all those things and more. Wilf was more than a father-like figure, he was everything The Doctor admired about humanity. Brave, considerate, supportive, compassionate and selfless. I think The Doctor saw the man he tries to be every day in Wilf, and that letting him die was tantamount to letting that ideal die in himself too. That was unforgivable.
There's no insignificant people. If one dies, if not visible, it bings grief to those who knows.
Where's Tom Baker in this list? You new Whovians really don't get it. Educate yourself.
@@noelosullivan197 I assume you refer to his hesitation to wipe the Daleks out in their incubators on Skaro "Do I have that Right?"
11 is an interesting doctor because he acts happy and goofy most of the time, but occasionally he shows his real feelings. He shows anger, self loathing, regret, and extreme sorrow. His personality is really more of a mask.
Edit: Holy shit this is the most likes I've ever gotten.
And in the 12th, that mask is ripped off.
@@frederickcubbins yeah
The man who regrets become the man who forgets, 11 used humour and fun to pretend as though the timewar never happened.
12 was the most complete incarnation of the Doctor, Capaldi's Doctor is the version of himself that doesn't hide who he is and what he's done. He accepts himself, for better or worse
@@CommodoreMudkip I always kind of wish Capaldi had better scripts to work with. He's one of my favourite ones .. but in terms of episodes he doesn't really have the same high notes as some of the others.
@@salm-wt3wm his last two seasons were amazing. It's a shame they found their stride so late, because when it worked, it was some of the best television ever.
12's speech is so underrated. His take on war is spot on. When they fire the first shots they have no idea who is going to die. And then all the sides to a war will always have to do what they always had to do from the beginning: sit down and TALK. Absolutely brilliant and truthful speech.
I love it but the 'fingers on buzzers' bit ruins it a bit for me. I think it's the accent he puts on.
Talking about war, look at the helmet behind him.^^ That was on purpose.
@@WigleyboyHe does it on purpose though, he's making fun of them for not taking it seriously enough by acting like a gameshow host.
I really like it personally. Like he's manic with how little they were understanding what he was saying by that point
My favorite speech that isn't on here is the one that 12 gives right before he regenerates. I just love how he's completely alone in the tardis and hes giving all of this amazing advice to someone who he'll be in the future. And then everything that he says actually comes into 13's time. She follows each piece of his advice to the tee and its beautiful
i actually love that scene because of the irony: i disagree, Chibnall ruined 13, and everything i dislike about the writing is when she breaks the rules
Laugh hard, run fast, be kind.
@@moustachescarz bet that knobhead Chibnall wrote that the 13th Doctor likes pears
Jodie was probably the worst doctor I thought capaldi was kinda bad but he was so much better than anything Jodie was
@@dibspicer554 i dont think its necessarily capaldi that was bad, mostly just the writing, he definitely had shining moments thats for sure, jodie kinda sucked as the doctor along with the writing for the show being lame
Number 3: 'its my honor'
In all his rage the doctor finally realised that it's his destiny to die there, and if he chose not to, he'd likely die soon after or not be able to live with the guilt
It was his honour to save Wilfred, because if he has to die, at least he does it saving one of the best men he's ever known
Better yet, I'm not sure if it was the character of Wifred Mott or his actor, but I know that whichever it is, one of them was a WW2 Veteran who never fired a single shot.
@@DoctorWhoKage Yes. Both of them
@@antman2443 😲 wow!
He wasnt saying he would be honoured to die there. He was say he would be honoured to be wilfreds son.
@@antman2443 Not quite. I have not found anything confirming Bernard Cribbins never firing a shot (if you do have a source, though, I would love to see it).
Wilfred, the character, is the one who survived World War II without killing anyone.
That being said, in real life, Corporal Desmond Doss of the U.S Army who served as a combat medic during WWII who is, indeed, known for never killing anyone on the battlefield nor carrying a weapon, hence his eventual assignment as a medic. He got multiple awards and medals for various feats, including the Medal of Honor, so if you're looking for a RL equivalent to Wil, there you go. :P
The speech that they forgot on this list, is the one where Matt calls Clara on the TARDIS phone telling her to be patient with the new doctor because he's scared.
Or when he lost his memory in the bar and play the guitarr
Not every monologue is a speech
@@xGOKOPx LOL INIT
That one gets me emotional every time!.. :)
That "SIT DOWN AND TALK," gives me goosebumps. That's what the world has always needed but will never do.
The best part? Jenny’s actor and Tennant are in real life married, and Jenny’s actor is also the daughter of Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor. The Doctor is not only his own father in law, but married to his own daughter...
*sweet home Gallifrey, where the TARDIS is blue!*

They weren't married yet.

But yes, in a way, the Doctor is his own father-in-law.

Skagkiller1230 If I remember correctly, he was the one who killed the rest of the Time Lords, by his own hands or by an action he took I don’t remember, but he did it in a past life, The Ninth Doctor if I remember correctly. He alone is one of the most dangerous beings in existence, and has seen things that would drive any other being to madness, and committed crimes that nobody could punish him for, because there are no punishments that could fit the scope of his crimes, and as stated by the 12th Doctor, has killed so many people that when he closes his eyes, hears so many screams that he can’t even count them. Safe to say that PTSD doesn’t do it justice.
@@decimation9780 Why are you telling me that? I knew that. Tell him that.
Skagkiller1230 You were the one who exclaimed surprise at hearing that he blew his own planet up, not the other two.
For a split second you forget that Tennant, Smith and Capaldi are acting during each of these speeches and that’s why they are incredible
The last clip ALWAYS gives me chills, don't know if it's the singing or something else, but I get shivers when I hear it - such a powerful scene
"Immortality isn’t living forever. That’s not what it feels like. Immortality is everybody else dying. She might meet someone she can’t bear to lose. That happens. I believe."
"Look at you, with your eyes. Your never-giving-up. Your anger. Your kindness. And one day, the memory of that will hurt so much that I won’t be able to breathe, and I’ll do what I always do. I’ll get in my box and I’ll run, and I’ll run."
“Don’t play games with me. You just killed someone I liked and
that is not a safe place to stand! I’m the Doctor, and you’re in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up.”
"There's this emperor, and he asks this shepherd's boy... 'How many seconds in eternity?' And the shepherd's boy says... 'There's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.' You must think that's a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird."
dirdib69 “we all change... when you think about it. We’re all different people, all through our lives. And that’s good, you gotta keep moving. As long as you don’t forget all the people that you used to be.” - a personal favourite of mine.

I would of had the doctors speech (if you could call it that) to Susan after leaving her in the 2150s
Yeah
8:22 It’s amazing how well David Tennet portrayed this. The Doctor is tired, and he is ready for death, and you can tell because of his tone and his expression!
I disagree I've always thought the Doctor was desperate to live longer but only resigns himself to death when he realizes he isn't the kind of man who would let Wilfred die. It's tragic when he yells that he could have done so much more. This scene will always be one of my favorites in the whole series. When he finally says I don't want to go, it is heartbreaking.
There are so many good speeches in Doctor Who. I haven’t had the ability to watch the old ones, but Ten’s speech in The Satan Pit, Nine screaming at the Dalek (and its response) and, he might not technically be a Doctor, but John Smith. John Smith, the human Ten who died so universes could live. Unsung hero. Heart wrenching, but so good.

One of the great things about Wilfred is that even though the doctor is yelling at him and insulting him, he doesn't get upset with the doctor because he knows the doctor and knows he's angry at life because of the situation he's in and he's not angry at him. Instead he tries to make it easy for the doctor to kill him, and he's ready to die for the doctor and for the world
The only thing sadder than someone lashing out at a person they love is that same someone realising how wrong they are when that person takes all their grief, anger and despair so they don't have to hold it alone
RIP Wilfred mott
Its my honour
I think Wilfred knows that the doctor is shouting at himself right from the get go. And he really wants the doctor to not sacrifice himself.
He's an old man and a soldier, he's seen people grieve in all manner of ways.
Wilfred is one of the best companions we've had. he got the doctor so well, him and donna. absolutely insane.
The one you included by Capaldi continues to be at the top of my list. Every time I watch it the emotions and thoughts are almost too much to bear. And I never, ever, get through it with dry eyes. It stands as one of the finest examples of script and performance, in harmony. A seamless and perfect fusion of intent and execution. It's a thing of raw and harsh beauty. I'm not sure I'll ever experience another performance that affects me as deeply and viscerally as this one.
Welp, the helmet behind him is something else with this speech. :D
Twelfth doctor's war speech is so relatable, even to those who obviously haven't been in that situation you can feel how real the emotions are. Even when everyone else is silent, the silence in response to the doctor's words convey so much emotion.
Peter's speech couldn't be so accurate for what's happening now.
Yep
Eh
Not really
12 was a staunch anti capitalist and anti racist. I can't imagine he'd be saying this to a bunch of people protesting outright fascism.
@@ItsSpecialHands dafuq?
The zygon speech was what made Capaldi my favorite doctor
GR Studios What made him mine was when he fenced Robin Hood with a spoon! Hahahah
@@TheBeast12567 lol and the sonic specs with the electric guitar opening in the Magicians Apprentice
Same.
It was that speech that made me watch his entire run. Prior to that I had only watch Tennant. I was more of a Tennant fan than a Who fan. But Capaldi broke my heart with that speech and I needed to see more
For me, it was the way he threatened Ashildr, after she got Clara killed...that was dark.
Peter Capaldi is just so good at ranting. His angry rants in the Thick of It are just legendary.
It’s funny how the majority of the best speeches were written by Davis and Moffat. Absolute masters of screen plays that elevated Dr Who to legendary status. I so miss their writing!
Capaldi's "I do what i do because its kind" speech doesn't get enough appreciation. I find it beautiful because it tells you that it's not the result that counts but the effort. All these speeches are so beautiful, so brilliant.
I wish the script writers got more credit :)
Damn right!!
It just always bugs me that he said, "I don't do it for fun." But for so many years, there's been the idea that he basically ran away from Gallifray with a TARDIS to have fun, and he goes to places because he thinks they'll be dangerous and he likes that. That he's "just a madman in a box."
@@bubble8829 Well I think the idea is that originally, yes, he was just escaping to go have fun, but with everything he's seen, all the things he's experienced, and all the baggage that he carries he now sees it as his responsibility to right wrongs, and he's found it necessary to do his best at having fun while he does it. So, while he doesn't do it "for fun" anymore, he's definitely still "having fun"
@@T0NI_ That makes sense!
Damn yeah I forgot that one. That and Capaldi’s speech about war which placed this list are definitely me two favourites
“He will knock four times.”
Boy that was so sad for Wilfred didn’t know it would be him knocking
I remember the most incredible feeling I've ever felt whilst watching doctor who is the feeling when Wilfred knocked four times on the glass, it still makes me cry to this day.
Wilfred is my hero. He stayed with him and comforted him until the end. I cried more when he said goodbye to the doctor than when the doctor regenerated.
Is it weird I expected the Van Gogh speech from the curator with the nice tie to be on here? I know it’s not a doctor speech, but it’s still one of the greatest speech’s in the series.
OMG Thank you for bring it up. Seeing that speech made me cry. It was so heart breaking and touching seeing him react to what the curator had to say and to know that he still kills himself after hearing it just makes it that much sadder.
I cry EVERY time
That would be a good video. Best speeches from other characters
It’s so fantastic, always makes me cry😭
Always evokes major emotions. Such a great series for bringing such joy and happiness and moments sadness and pain. Every Doctor has their moment and they have all delivered in one way or another
Still think 11s first speech was arguably his best. “Hello. I’m the Doctor... basically... run.”
Nah hes had better lol
I personally feel his, "Don't put me in a box" speech should be ranked
Yeah, I really love that one
Not much of a speech. More of a statement/introduction
Only the Doctor could turn what started as a diplomatic conversation into a low-key threat.
RIP Bernard Cribbins. Hero of my childhood and idol to many, you will not soon be forgotten. 🫡
My family is from Oldham like Bernard, my Mum's uncle was a friend of his in their younger days, I think they went to school together.
Honestly, I love all of these speeches and it's so hard to say any precise order for them but I honestly love Capaldi's speech so much more than the others.
The depth and emotion and pain and just sheer point he was trying to get across felt so real, almost as if he was screaming it to the entire world. The only way to truly understand each other and move forward, sit down and talk.
there is one thing you never put in a trap, if you’re smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans on seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never ever put in a trap.
What would that be sir...

"No one else will ever have to live like this no one else will have to feel this pain. Not on my watch." Litteral chills everytime i hear that line and I dont think that will ever change
It only just now occurred to me that, with 12 knowing the true outcome of the time war, it might have been even more emotionally moving if he had inserted the classic war doctor staple of "No More" somewhere, acknowledging that those words don't represent what they original did.
Capaldi is such a phenomenal actor
I think Capaldi had some of the best Doctor speeches of the entire show. Tennat was charming, Smith was fun and entertaining, but the older I get, the more I come to appreciate the depth of Capaldi’s Doctor. He stopped running away from all the hard memories and questions the previous Doctors had avoided and grappled with what it meant to be a good man and owning up to his past. He figured out a way to turn his pain into meaningful inspiration to help other people in their journeys. I absolutely miss these eras of DW
That speech to Wilfred always makes me tear up. I think the acting within that really touched upon the basic desire to live and what that means to give that up.
That speech has to be in any list of best speeches from Dr Who. I've always had a hard time as seeing it as acting though. Yes, it was the end of Regeneration 10/11's time, but it always felt as much and more about the end of David's time as the Doctor than about the end of the Doctor's time in a particular regeneration, that it was, in fact, as much David speaking to the fandom as the Doctor speaking to Wilfried.
Honestly I believe mat smith has had better speeches than number 4 like “I’ll always remember when the doctor was me”
he really did, his speeches were fantastic. great stuff.
I always felt Mat Smith was under utilized. When he was allowed to play serious, he did it so well.
Such as in the 50th Anniversary episode, when the three doctors where in the tower talking about hearing the screams....
But they always tried to make him the inner child.
When Matt spoke he really put hid heart and soul into it, Stone-hedge, Rings of achateen, Demon’s run, I am the doctor & you are the Daleks, Spaceship UK, The rules, When the Doctor was me. All of these are not speeches, but they are a few of the moments where the doctors past showed itself and the dark history he had was revealed to the people around him.
bandiceet That was his point. Matt Smith was a hurt man who hid his pain from the people around him with jokes and laughter. This is also why it was so intense when he showed his inner feelings, they had been bottled up for so long that when an opening appeared the all exploded outwards at once, and these moments where were 11:th shined the most.
lait_de_coco69 I agree
The story with the doctors daughter was soo sad 😢 Tenants era really had me bawling a lot as a kid even Tenants regeneration 😫 I’m so happy he’s back as the 14th doctor 😭
The writing of the Smith era is untouchable honestly masterful
The fact that matt’s regeneration was so powerful it physically ROCKED the TARDIS still gets me today.
he did say it was going to be a whoppa... :P
He still knows how to sweep her off her feet.
@@Astrithor "did you wish *really* hard?"
I love that episode, firstly because that scene, and second because getting to hear the TARDIS gripe about the Doctor is amazing, and solidifies the fact that the TARDIS is legit a companion too.
“Don’t you think she looks tired”
Never understood that line tbh
Tyzone The point of that line is to start a “rumour”, to plant a seed in the people’s minds which will spread and inevitebly cause someone else to be voted ,out of mistrust of the current leader. It’s hard to explain. It’s like inception

The story is still sci fi
Still doctor
Not just politics
This is what the last 2 seasons was missing
Tring so hard to hit every one in the face with politicsthey dropped the story
@@ninneadeanna Yeah they keep trying to hit us with politics and dropped the story. They retconed the doctor's entire starting point and what the doctor was, a normal alien who helps people. Not become the doctor is more then them not because the doctor is some god but because he/she cares and tries the hardest to make a good outcome. The new story makes the character a literal god that is infinity immortal, why? Because the director fucking sucks at writing, and should be fired for making the show drop from its standpoint.
Just how many more will drop till they get it through their skulls, we want evolution of the doctor and his/her's companions and the story around them. Not for things to be changed, rather for things to appear in their lives that add on to them. (Time war being the best example)
Rose: Who are you?
The Doctor: [turns around] Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? [walks towards Rose] It's like when you're a kid.

I agree with this. One of the best of the current Doctor Who speeches. Understated. Not bombastic. Amazing.
yes why isn't this included? this is the speech that made me like DW
That one is probably my favorite. It was my first real introduction to the doctor and had an effect on how i sawthe character
The chunk of dialogue that recontextualized the character of the Doctor for a more modern era, that simultaneously reassured die-hard fans that their beloved property was in good hands and won over a new crowd as well. I don’t think I’d be a doctor who fan if not for this speech.
That’s the number one speech. That’s when we knew this was the Doctor and the show I love was back again
The scale model of war speech ist my favourite. Its really impressiv.
David and Bernard's scene makes me tear up without fail every time. The pain and angst 10 was carrying all came out at that moment, yet he still composed himself and did what he most likely really did not want to do. He put himself in front of everyone else all the time because he knew he would not be able to think about what could have been otherwise. That is the strength he had.0

When 12 became the doctor, i never really saw him as that. I accepted him, but he never really felt like the doctor to me. Then he gave that Zygon war speech. I don't know why or how, but that scene changed how i saw 12 forever. He went from "not really the Doctor" to my favorite regeneration in one scene that lasted less than 5 minutes. THAT is powerful writing!
And powerful acting!
Holy crap! Exactly the same experience for me. It just destroyed me and simultaneously thrilled me. Crushing in it's truth and tragedy, joyful in the glory of that performance. I'm so glad you shared that. Thank you.
This was my exact experience. I thought Twelve being so cold towards people when their friends/family died was very unlike the Doctor but season 9 and this speech in particular changed my mind. He's one of my favorite doctors now
Unfortunately, Chinballs couldn’t write his way out of a short story competition. The thing that killed Jodie’s run for me was retconning so much established canon in a “screw you, I’ll do what I want” manner. I hate the Timeless Child storyline, as it cheapens any of the Doctor’s original regenerations, or those moments where the Doctor has put himself in a situation where the only way out is his death over that of his companions. The stories were so-so throughout Jodie’s run, but that one piece of ham-fisted retconning has soured the show for me.
@@KitNoxious I really wish Jodie had a season with Moffat or Davies writing. There's times that she genuinely gets a well written scene and she's great but she just doesn't get them that often. I feel like it's the odd guest writer giving her these moments, while past Doctors had the head writer and some guest writers giving them these moments.
I will never get enough of the Doctor reminding us how old he really is, the things he has done, and who he really is.
love how the actor who played the doctor married the daughter of an actor who played the doctor and who herself played the daughter of the doctor and who gave birth to a little girl who was literally the daughter of the doctor!

Listen here you little shit
Capaldi’s speech was breathtaking, no music in the background, just raw, powerful, emotion
The classic series had its fair share of great speeches too. Four mulling over wiping out the Daleks, Six's railing against the Time Lords, Seven's "unlimited rice pudding" and of course One's farewell speech to Susan.
Matt's acting with 11's speech at Akhaten hits me every time. 😢
To me, Akhaten will always be the one that moved me to tears.
I had just had my heart broken when my wife told me that she didn’t want me to be her husband any more. I was broken and suicidal. I went to see my best friends and my goddaughter. We were watching this episode and I just burst into tears, holding a baby that I recognised that I loved more than life itself. The Doctors speech just moved me in a way I have never since. Even now, watching this, I am crying. But these are happy tears. They are the memory of everything that brought me here. They are my leaf. They are the path through the anguish, self loathing, rage and my heartfelt wish to die that encompassed me for years after, and continue to do so today.
The Rings of Akhaten is the best episode Matt Smith ever did. Because it saved me. It made me realise that the most important love is of your existence. If you cannot love yourself, even if only for a millisecond, then you have lost. If you ever have these feelings, if you *ever* wish that you were dead, please, I beg you, get help. Talk to someone - I went to the doctor after I held a kitchen knife to my throat and glimpsed myself in the window. I still suffer daily with thoughts that plague my brain, make me feel that my life is not worth living. I am lucky that I have people that make my life worth living.
Please. Get help.
My friend, I know we never met but I am proud you coming up and admitting this. And I am honestly so so sorry you went through that.
The fact that ONE doctor who episode made you so much feel better is amazing. I don't feel comfortable putting it here, but Doctor Who changed my life for the better. And I will always love it for that. (All I'll say is, the "man who never would" speech really really helped me)
This episode... honestly same. I was very suicidal at the time I first saw this episode. Rivers of tears, still crying every time I see it. Life got better for me, in some way. I'm so proud of us, brother. We got strength to keep going. Even if this is because there's someone else in our lives to live for. But, hope doesn't go away from you, you just grow deaf to it. You will hear it's song again. That I now understand.
Get help, please. The world only has one you, there's no copies
i hope you're doing well, mate
Hope you're in a better place now. You have such a beautiful way with words.
@@Wigleyboy my boss calls me “a wordy catch you next Tuesday.”
Twelfth speech is the saddest for me. Imagine sacrificing his whole planet, his people for the sake of the universe.
"You call this a war? This funny little thing?"
Mass genocide of not one sentient race, but 2, in order to save all of reality. That is a war.
2 point something billion Time lord children died by his hands. Think how many adults and daleks there were. (I know the daleks are the bad guys. But genocide of even the most evil race is not a decision to be made lightly)
@@andrewmiddleton3202 Thirty Years war to WW2 be like:
@@TSotP exactly. That's why the War Doctor is so incredibly done with life and himself. He knows what he's gonna do, and knows that he absolutely fucking shouldn't, but he ends up doing it anyway.
@@SStupendous ww3 will happen soon and I will die on the battlefield
I love how most of the fanbase seems to agree that the Rings speech is probably the best the Doctor has ever given, and yet... In the scale of things, that episode is incredibly minor. Just goes to show what they could do when they really tried
Also, haven't seen the episode in a long time, but it didn't work. Clara had to sacrifice the leaf that represented her mother and the infinite amount of memories they would never get to share.
The song behind it just caps off one of the most heart tearing speeches ever spoken in this wonderful show
@@TheKingBacca and if you listen closely... The song is not a song to their Parasite God star.... It is a song directed at the Doctor.
Love the song tho
The song also plays when he regenerates
I had such a hard time getting used to Capaldi as the Doctor cause his regeneration was so dark and coarse.... But his speech right here in the Zygon Inversion, it so cemented him as the Doctor for me. I still get choked up when I see this clip!
Steven Moffatt did tell the Dr Who fandom that Dr 12 was going to be a cross between Tom Baker's seventh year and Chris E....Steven was spot on...
