"This is the real McCoy"- no the real McCoy is sat next to you mate.
I was just about this post this, thank you for saying it for me! lol
sitting*
One is sitting, not sat (unless someone seats you some where).
Be+{past tense verb} is always a passive action (one where the speaker is the recipient, not the agent, of the action).
@@DrWhoFanJ Winston Churchill won a Nobel Prize for literature and he was happy to say that parliament "Were sat around with their thumbs up their @rses" during the rise of Hitler.
Actually Mr. Patrick Kent-Smith isn't really a McCoy ...
I remember being in high school and watching this and laughing at the McCoy joke and the actors all froze and the two women just looked at him.
It's Ace and Seven in the clip at the end that really excite me! I love how the franchise is incorporating the "old favourites".
Yep, that was a nice touch :)
Ace and the 7th Doctor were brilliant together.
Too bad the series was cut, the line said by 7th, "Come along Ace, we have work to do" was stunning.
"Cor! That sounds brill!"
"My sentiments exactly."
You might say that the Seventh Doctor and Ace were "brill" together. 😉
"I know what unimpeachable means, bird bath" Ace!
Ace is living proof that the Telepathic circuits have a profanity filter built in... and its as broken as the rest of the old crate.
@@DarthAzabrush That's a great idea. Imagine the TARDIS crew encountering a foul-mouthed alien one day who says "Expletive deleted" as part of it's dialogue.
Or a duck sound.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 Its not even a new idea. It was introduced by Gary Russel in one of the VNAs
@@DarthAzabrush Oh, ok. I never got into VNAs.
Love ace one of my favourite classic companions so hyped for her return next month can't wait !!!
I've always liked Sophie. I feel so horrible that the Beeb cancelled the show because of ratings.
@@williammitchell4417 There were internal politics going on as well. The BBC were fed up of John Nathan Turner but as he was staff rather than freelance they were stuck with him. So they left him on Dr Who, hoping he would leave of his own accord.
He didn't, he became more interested in casting showbiz stars and the social whirl than the show itself. With the inevitable ratings decline that comes with a rudderless ship.
Then Michael Grade became DG, he hated sci fi and Dr Who in particular and used the falling ratings to get rid of it.
Ace was the first companion who I identified with.
Return?
@@deannaalbert672 Sophie and Janet are both coming back.
I bet the timing of this upload was no coincidence considering Ace is returning NEXT month!! I'm so excited, she's one of my favourite companions and I can't wait to see her meet the Professor aka The Doctor again alongside Tegan!
Also "This is the real McCoy this is" Glitz says while sitting next to a REAL McCoy
It'll be interesting to see how two of the Doctor's most outspoken characters react to the Doctor being female now.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 Ace has already met 13 in one of her own adventures. Her reaction was one of sheer nonplussedness. She drew a lot of comparisons between her Doctor and the new model which I think is only fair. Both are more scheming anti hero than the Twi-hard superhero crap we've seen with most of the other nWho incarnations. Hell the "nice" Fifth Doctor has more darkness in him than the first 4 of those idiots combined.
Kent-Smith
I love Ace especially her fixation for blowing up and beating the heck out everything haha.
My favorite scene is when she beats the Dalek.
Essentially the first NuWho companion. You can really see her influence in later companions with both development and personality.
@@METALFREAK03 Not really. Perivale is definitely north of the River Thames, and it’s only narrowly within what would be termed “London”.
@@DrWhoFanJ I'm from Warlingham which isn't even within Greater London and I have to argue back to my friends that that's Surrey not London every time they refer to me as a "Londoner". I think to some people it's all just similar enough or that's the impression I get anyway.
@@METALFREAK03 Nope. She is from Perivale, as explicitly mentioned multiple times, particularly in her final (so far) story _Survival,_ which literally sets itself there *because* it’s where she lives!
@@dommoore6180 Yeah you're surrey, but people tend to club croydon as south london also. Which I would agree with as Surrey (said in a posh voice) is tend to not have the people you have in Peckham, Croydon and the likes. Then again, it is probably due to what Croydon was and is, it had a lot of industrous and menial jobs, so does Greenwich and mainly SOUUUUUUUUUUUTH London is/was a hub of such traders and trades. Proper working class and really is an extension of East London and the Bell tower and such.
I'd say Tegan was the first nWho Companion. A dull contemporaneous human who didn't need to be there and contributes nothing. Which unfortunately is the default for the RTDed remake.
My favourite companion. Certainly broke the companion mould with Ace, paving the way for the new series.
I've said on numerous DW videos before that whilst I was raised on DW, the McCoy Era is really where it all began for me at age 7 and I have a heck of a lot to thank it for. First with the Doctor and Mel and then his travels with Ace I was well and truly hooked if I weren't before. Ace / Sophie Aldred were kind of like my first childhood crushes. She just Wowed me with everything she did and everything she was put through and came out the stronger and more educated for it and I love hearing her adventures continue in Big Finish Productions' Doctor Who audio stories as well in Gallifrey, Class and Torchwood too. So when Sophie returns as Ace to guest star in "The Power of the Doctor" next month and is reunited with the Doctor - well I might just possibly be a bit of a blubbering mess! I cannot wait for it!
Ace was a great companion. It's really weird seeing her here without her classic bomber jacket outfit.
I loved Ace, I can't wait to see her reunited with The Doctor when it's 13's final episode
My absolute favorite companion. So much so I couldn't help myself and managed to convince my husband to let me name our daughter so her initials spelled ACE.
Yes, she's grown up about as you'd expect. Badass and full of sass, and it's absolutely perfect!
3:45 - 3:48 such an iconic scene.
Batman earring, real McCoy, birdbath, the intuative incorrect handshake, woman between them at 2:45 wearing one of Avon's old costumes 💜
I thought it was Toyah
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge 😂👍
Ace ! I love her ! Best classic companion !
Mel: I knew there must be a reason why you brought us here! You want to see the dragon, don't you?
The Doctor:... yus... dragon... *shifty eyes*
She's always be one of my favorite classic companions!
Didn't really like Ace at the beginning, but over the two seasons I have of hers with Sylvester McCoy, she grew on me, and I think it will be interesting how she performs in the final episode of Jodie Whittaker's run as the Doctor in the autumn.
ACE!
2:58 Happy 60th Birthday Sophie Aldred aka one of the greatest Doctor Who companions of all time Dorothy "Ace" McShane. Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred had such great on-screen chemistry, and they were truly a good on-screen duo.
I just recenlty realized that Bonnie Langford is actually 2 years younger than Sophie Aldred, and my mind was blown.
Yes. Sophie Aldred was born in 1962 and Bonnie Langford was born in 1964.
Right after the *LOCH-OCH* moment at 0:26, you can briefly see and hear McCoy breathing like a Dragon at Bonnie. He was probably trying to make her corpse during the scene. She smiles - but manages to contain the laugh. That's the only explanation I can think of unless the Loch Ness monster did that during an older story. I didn't see that one.
When I started watching Classic Era Doctor Who I didn't really like McCoy as The Doctor, but now having watched more of his Era he is in my Top 5 favorite Doctor Whos.
The wonderful Tony Selby playing Glitz always great to see him
“This is the real McCoy this is”
Nah bro that’s the doctor
Words cannot describe how much I love ace
Yeah love her too
My all-time favorite companion! I even named my miniature panther after her, after I saw how smart she was (made her own paper-bag/fuzzy snake toy when she was 4 months old). Saw Sylvester & Peter D at Anglicon in Seattle a few years back, they were both extremely funny!
3:44
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He isn't Doctor Dolittle, but Sylvester McCoy is my Doctor!!!!
A shame that there wasn't a Doctor Who story to be seen on TV to explain the departure of Ace. The last time that character was seen was in the 2-part special Dimensions In Time that celebrated the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and had shown his previous incarnations and other companions.
Oh hell yeah- the introduction of the greatest companion, now in Blu-Ray quality!
Doctor: “Where's your sense of adventure, Glitz?”
Glitz: “Ah now, she's in Chiswick!”
;p
And she's returning... next month!
Whenever Jodie Whittaker says "Ace" in public it's a smile
Oh hi Glitz
"... the real McCoy..." 😂
3:47 LOL Careful, Doctor! You could had regenerated again.
Star Trek isn't the only place to find a wonderful Doctor McCoy!
holy crap magenta from rocky horror was in doctor who!!!!! 🤯
Now I understand why people like Ace.
Now?
@@alexbruckshaw1448 yep. Haven’t watched the classic who.
She's... Ace! Can't wait for her return!
Wait'll you see what she does to Daleks...
@@dst9997 that’s the thing. I don’t have a Brit box subscription
Here in Canada, YTV aired new(ish) Seventh Doctor episodes Sunday nights and episodes going back to William Hartnell weekdays after school. That's how I got hooked on the show. And I think I had a bit of a crush on Ace, maybe I was going through a punk girl phase.
One the greatest and most influential companions of all time.
Wicked!!
I ❤️Ace
Heck, I haven't seen a bar that camp since the 'Pink Parrot Club' in 'The Tripods'.
Sadly the late Tony Selby never got to reprise Glitz again in the modern Doctor Who era.
I thought he was awful. Great for a Dickensian play, but not so good in this already cheese laden episode.
Would have liked it if Ace and Glitz got to team up in the return in 2005.
"oh, like the Lock Ness monster!"
"Loch"
"LOCHCHCHCH!"
Possibly the best introduction and pre-planned long game companion introduction. The 7th Doctor era is truly a great last hurrah for the classic show.
I’d say this era was the start of the new Who era. It dared to get thematically darker, a TAD more violent and a lot more of the RTD era humour (the ‘dog’ at the end of the clip and the overall cheesiness of Ace’s finger pointing at Glitz).
Dorothy "Ace" McShane played by Sophie Aldred!
1 of my all time favourite companions!
(I had a crush on her as well!)
🤔
Can't wait for the Centenary Special in October!
3:00 Boyscout handshake!
Intro of my favorite companion
Ace was ahead off her time, strong female icon.
Ace is probably my favourite companion, simply because she's around my age and, like ace, I like explosives xD
The real McCoy
I travelled down to London many years ago to meet Sophie. I thought she was a lovely lady. I did confess to her, that I didn't like her character at first, but she did grow on me in the show. This was the Dr Who I liked.
Ah, Magenta! :)
One of my favourite companions
"The real McCoy." LOL. Ironically, Sylvester McCoy's real name is Percy Kent-Smith, so even he isn't "the real McCoy."
Who else is watching this before Ace comes back to wave off Jodie Whitaker’s Doctor on Sunday?
Hands down one of McCoy’s best stories (sans that “cliffhanger” ending in episode 1.)
Who is watching this after the power of the doctor? i wasn’t BORN when ACE was in doctor who during the 80's!! Doctor who history lesson😁😁😁!
In Survival, Ace gets attracted to a woman. I totally did not pick up on that when I was a kid.
I loved Ace because she was hyperactive.
Ace...my favourite, I'm 10 again. And she's back...love it 😁
Maybe mel will returning in the 60th because in filming footag David Tennant and Catherine Tate mention the name mel.
Bring back fond memories 👍😊
I love doctor who
Both companions here could appear in the centenary and 60th
Sophie Socket! my daughter loved her!
Sophie Aldred is beautiful!!!!!
Ace will always be mine favorite companion, she is beyond ground-breaking, I love her whole tomboy personality, she feels so fresh and she has a really interesting story arc, Sophie Aldred is perfect in the role
Where the show changed. You can see it pulling away from the old. Next stop Remembrance. When that dropped it was like they'd put rockets up its arse. In a good way. To cancel when they did was criminal but then maybe we wouldn't have got Big Finish. No Benny. No Charley. No vastly improved Sixie! Things turned out okay in the end I think.
I haven't had the time to watch the old Who episodes, but I love Ace already
Sabalom does the Glitz. Mel and Ace do the Glamour. And The Doctor's just there to check everyone's pulse.
Have you seen that clip with Jasmine Breaks as well?
Sophie Aldred looked so young.
So we’re going to skip Paradise Towers, (which is a personal favourite of pre-Ace trilogy, for me) and Delta and the Bannermen.
They played this clip because Ace is coming back. They had already put up clips from those episodes a while back.
@@DokkaChapman that was time and the rani.
Paradise Towers and Delta an ad the Bannermen are a joy. Dragonfire doesn't hit the same he heights, but us well
I do hope they just did this as some form of Centernary tie in promo, we deserve some Paradise Towers clips! That story is ice hot!
Left handed handshake...Doctor and Ace were in Scouts?
Tony Selby.. Blimey
Used to have such a crush on her back in the day. Watching this now she seems so young. Frozen in time as it were were. Now I can't help but feel a bit creepy.
It’s Radagast! I know, he was the Doctor long before that role.
Did I spot Patricia Quinm in the middle of this?
I love how you can instantly tell it's the 80s just by the thumbnail alone
Didn't know Liz Truss and Jacob Rees-Mogg were in a Doctor Who episode 1:09
Thank God Ace replaced Mel, saved the show!
Ace should of had her own series after Dr Who which was predicted in an episode a series not just about Ace but her backstory in more depth than in doctor who episode's did of course the actress who played Ace has written some insights it her character earlier days I don't think this is actually canon or appears so a interesting thing is coming of course soon Ace reconnect with a Dr Who it said to be Joddies Doctor but it is also implied the tenth Doctor to and did Ace meet the other doctors well I imagine there something else there to? Ace is just the one to save the day even though she is a hot head at times and unlike other companions she is down to earth most times can be the focuses of danger to trouble follows her to a mix of personality and style but highly intelligent person a remarkable talent in science and mystery solving the difference between her and other companions is she doesn't scare easily though that doesn't mean she can't get the frights especially with ghosts from her past or bad memories but her connection to the doctor has made her stronger but this doesn't mean she isn't dangerous something that even the doctor never really reveals about her? Ace and The Professor it that way she address him it was odd why this could be resolved soon....? Ace is still a fan favourite the older Ace is possible connected to Touchwood?
Is that Tom Baker at 0:06?
would you like a jelly baby?
Is there any more Word the Doctor is coming to Disney+ I’m hoping to bring new and classic Doctor Who and Doctor Who animated movies who knows Disney+ might make their own doctor animated movies or programs
Hold on, what’s O’Brien doing there
I remember watching this when it was broadcast back in the day, but I had no idea that the legendary Patricia Quinn (Rocky Horror Picture Show's Magenta) was in this story. ;) xx
Damn I needs to watch me some 7th!
Then the Seventh Doctor meets Geoffrey from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air in another bar.
Tell me you're the best companion without telling me you're the best companion.
OMG, Patricia Quinn!
Yee
That's just a load of space dust. You can see this is quite British. Who has been re invented a few times from the 'proper' Hartnell or Tom Baker of scientifically plausible snob race of Tmie Lords. McCoy was one such reinvention.
Incorrect title!! Obviously should say..Meets Ace and Glitz!
Well the Doctor’s already met Glitz
Does putting on silly hats make them look like intelligent overseers... Lol I think not
Theo doctor see The brother of The King of pirates
The sell is actually an Apple AirTag used as a tracking device.
Half expecting her to read out birthday cards for forces brats.
Since when has Chess been a card game? 🤔🤣
Slow poke, didn’t get it did you? He hesitated when asked, he said uhhhh chess. He doesn’t know chess! He was called out, that it was a card game, lowly like him, not prestigious. He never said it wasn’t true when pointed out either. Do you see now?
The doctor can't be that good if he has Bonnie Langford as his companion lol
