This shows how good Richard Hurndall was in The Five Doctors as he got the softer and lighter side of the 1st Doctor spot on, the only thing was missed opportunity was when he goes 'Nothing happens until you get to the fifth row' is the 1st Doctor would let a little chuckle and was missing the famous 'Hmm' but that's literally a small thing, he got everything else perfect.
Richard Hurndall was as perfect to play Hartnell as you could get. His voice was a little to high pitch but his inflections and speech patterns where spot on. This video makes me appreciate his appearance even more because with a little ai trickery its almost indistinguishable from ol Bill
Brilliant video, very interesting to watch! I also must say that this has really shown me how good a job Richard Hurndall did in his performance and line delivery, because now I've heard his performance with a Hartnell filter over the top, it does really feel very much like a Hartnell performance!
I came to the comments to make sure someone stated that this deep fake should no way diminish the brilliant performance by Richard Hurndall where he really gets the essence of Hartnell's performance without just being a pale imitation or a parody. It is very difficult to do that as an actor.
Love it. This is absolutely fantastic. It’s strange to think that Hartnell in the Five Doctors could possibly have happened. He passed away relatively young (67). If he had been alive to appear, Hartnell would have been the exact same age (75) in 1983, as David Bradley was when he portrayed the First Doctor in ‘Twice Upon A Time’.
This is rather wonderful. It gives us a glimpse of The Five Doctors had it been possible with all the original actors, and yet doesn't totally erase Richard Hurndall's excellent performance. So it's a lovely tribute to both Hartnell and Hurndall.
The technology is really starting to get there! There's some bits of this which are excellent and really magic seeing and hearing Hartnell in it. Though Hurndall did a wonderful job and created a complete character for it too.
ooooh that's a little strong I'd say, but it surely has potential. The wide shots, where he's not still, are sometimes ready to publish. The still shots look a bit frozen, and the close-ups are pretty terrible, but nothing that can't be sorted out with a few weeks of work.
This has to be put into the full version one day. A few little mistakes but 100% a love letter and better than anything I could ever do. Technology is getting better by the day and in the future this could be so well done you wouldn't even know it wasn't originally Hartnell. And he looks fantastic in colour. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.
That’s amazing! Thank you! With the deep fake software we could have a 70th anniversary season where each episode features one of the Doctors as they appeared originally in the show.
That is amazing! Mind-blowing! Well done! Imagine when the tech improves to allow for even more realistic facial expressions and voiceover! In fact, at some point, even Troughton and Pertwee could be de-aged to appear how they did during their eras on the series! And this tech could be applied to all Anniversary Crossover episodes featuring previous Doctors and Companions... the possibilities are limitless! - Chris
What’s most impressive is the voice, it really is as if Hartnell is alive and acting again! As usual commonly said, “this is the worst it will ever be” and will only get better, becoming indistinguishable in a few years or less!
This was truly amazing. Hartnell, in this edit re-release version, makes it feel like it belongs. Nothing against the actor who played the first doctor, but this seems legit.
As a trained actor, I will say what I’ve always said about AI and deepfakes of dead actors… at the end of the day, you’re not seeing William Hartnell. You’re seeing Richard Hurndall wearing a William Harrell mask. He doesn’t move the way Hartnell moved, he doesn’t make the physical choices Hartnell made, he doesn’t have the physical mannerisms or gestures Hartnell had when playing the role. This is still a Richard Hurndall performance, and no amount of deepfake technology can possibly alter the performance to be the way William Hartnell would have played it. The fundamental fact is he would NOT have played it this way. So all we can really see here is a rubber William Hartnell mask placed on a different actor.
My gawd! This is incredible. This just goes to prove that anything and everything will be possible - in this respect - in a few more years. AI will change everything and every missing episode of Doctor Who - and others - will be recreated. Not a case of if, but when.
One of the best " double-takes " in history, i was like hang on.........But Hartnell wasn't in that, he had died before...lol, Amazing work here, its wonderful on so many levels, beautiful rendering and voice, now Doctor Who, or part of its keynote History feels wonderfully complete. Thankyou !
Part of me says this is altering history - the other part says I can still have the version they made but this (or an even more polished version as the technology evolves) is terrific. Really authentic - top job!
This is such a cool edit oh my god. Its so interesting seeing the writing feel so consistent with Billy’s line delivery. Now id be curious to see an AI version of Day of the Doctor with Tennant’s hair actually looking correct 😭😭😭
He needs to blink also a touch of reverb will help blend the voice into the locations as it sounds too flat and dubbed. The only other problem I don't think can be overcome is the shape of the head. But an excellent effort.
Well if they did this on national television I think it would be disgustingly disrespectful. I don’t think the bbc treat the show with disrespect they give if a big push. This is an impressive RUclips edit no hate to that
Let’s be honest, if BBC did this it will be a big level of disrespect. I mean this is a good edit, but this also shows the dangers of deepfakes and ai using dead actors
Descript's 'StudioSound' fixes his voice too. It's utterly brilliant. I recorded the original from the studio - well, some of it :-) I made a demo but I can't post it. Anyone who would like to hear my version, DM me.
With this edit and the edits of adding in Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, we could have a truer version of The Five Doctors with the original five actors.
This is awesome… the only unrealistic giveaway is Hartnell knowing all his lines.
The Borusa line I heard Resident Borusa, not President, but yes, you’re correct.
This shows how good Richard Hurndall was in The Five Doctors as he got the softer and lighter side of the 1st Doctor spot on, the only thing was missed opportunity was when he goes 'Nothing happens until you get to the fifth row' is the 1st Doctor would let a little chuckle and was missing the famous 'Hmm' but that's literally a small thing, he got everything else perfect.
0:34 - Finally we get to hear Hartnell say that line.
My sentiments exactly.
Yes.
Great edit. Also, I love the idea that Hartnell's voice just naturally has that "60's muffle" 😂
Genuine question: is it because it's from the '60s? Because other shows like The Saint never sounded like that. This is almost Darth Vader territory.
@@davidfriend4328 just low budget tapes...
@@davidfriend4328 just low budget tapes...
@@davidfriend4328 Probably because he used Hartnell's voice from the old episodes in order to train the AI, so it came with warts n all

Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee together. Fantastic.
All credit to your talent and hard work. Well done.
Fantastic work! Loved Richard Hurndall in The Five Doctors, but oh! What a treat seeing and hearing William Hartnell!

This is great!!!! It's like William Hartnell was actually there!
This is essentially if William Hartnells health got better and he lived past 1975
And if he wasn't able to blink.
It makes the whole episode seem more authentic, great job.
This is excellent. I just took it for granted I was watching William Hartnell !

Probably the best AI work I have ever seen re: DW.

The Fourth Doctor was my first Doctor, but the First Doctor is my favorite Doctor! Thank you for this.👏👏👏
Tom Baker remains my favorite incarnation, though I like the other actors who stepped into the same shoes.

Lovely job. Would love to the whole of the Five Doctors now with this Hartnell incarnation. 👍🙂
For years I was fixated on how you could edit so Tom has a full role in this story, but this is next level!!
Fantastic!
Amazing!
Impossible!
Ecstatic!
Brilliant!
This is brilliant. God knows where this technology will be in 10 years time.
Watching this in 2034, I have to admit, it looks pretty basic!
Great job amazing Richard did a good job emukating his mannerisms and this voice and face looks exactly like hartnell great job
Well it is automated - you've seen this sort of thing for a few years on RUclips before?
Blimey, this is phenomenal.
Love it, I often wonder if today's fans know of Hartnell and Eccleston
It’s not just that you nail Hartnell’s voice, but you got his inflection and vocal pattern perfectly.
That’s amazing! Thank you! With the deep fake software we could have a 70th anniversary season where each episode features one of the Doctors as they appeared originally in the show.

This is pretty damn good, some of the shots are almost indistinguishable. A commendable job, I thought it was marvellous!
Wow brilliant work not just video editing but audio sound as well bang on bravo l👏👏👏👏👏
Superb. Thank you.
I've just come in from a long shift at work and this has made my night, totally amazing!
Very impressive. Especially the voice treatment.

0:18 "the asshole to that" is all I hear.
This is fantastic! Not perfect by any means, but an absolutely amazing effort! One of the best things about Classic Who is its slight imperfections!
First Class work.

Grinning from ear to ear
Absolutely incredible
goosebumbs! lol 😃
This is fascinating! Very impressed.
The ai voice is pretty bang on surprisingly, the ai face is my sleep paralysis demon

I only want to watch it like this now. Holy shit that was good, more please.
Brilliantly done
I just realised that Tilda Swinton has an uncanny similarity to William Hartnell
This looks like my sleep paralysis demon. Your editing is good, this is just uncanny and scares me
This is absolutely fantastic. Must have taken ages. ❤

Wow. Its so uncanny seeing the face of Hartnell and the voice.
Well that's a "special edition" I'd love to see when the technology has improved!
Great Job! :-)
Part of me says this is altering history - the other part says I can still have the version they made but this (or an even more polished version as the technology evolves) is terrific. Really authentic - top job!
So absolutely nice that he did the First Doctor so perfectly!
This is such a cool edit oh my god. Its so interesting seeing the writing feel so consistent with Billy’s line delivery.
Now id be curious to see an AI version of Day of the Doctor with Tennant’s hair actually looking correct 😭😭😭
Incredible
I’m very sure Hartnell‘s family would’ve signed off on this if the technology existed at the time
Brilliant work. You genius!😊
This is so close, now, isn't it? What an exciting development.
Thank you for this I can't wait to see what these things will be like in a few years
This is Hartnell's face (more or less), but the dialogue is still by Hurndall and his delivery is just...not how Hartnell would have ever said it.
Loved it , thank you !!😊❤🎉 Great that William got to be in this episode !!!🎉 William Hartnell is one of my favorites !!❤
Awesome work, it looks flawless, brilliant!
it doesn't
The face is uncanny but other than that its spot on
Great work. You’ve made my evening! Brilliant 🙂
Wow that's amazing great job there 👍
Some shots in this are amazing - especially in the TARDIS.
He needs to blink also a touch of reverb will help blend the voice into the locations as it sounds too flat and dubbed.
The only other problem I don't think can be overcome is the shape of the head. But an excellent effort.
Nicely done, its a shame the BBC doesn't treat the show with the same level of respect.
Well if they did this on national television I think it would be disgustingly disrespectful. I don’t think the bbc treat the show with disrespect they give if a big push.
This is an impressive RUclips edit no hate to that
Is replacing Richard Hurndall respectful to him?
Let’s be honest, if BBC did this it will be a big level of disrespect. I mean this is a good edit, but this also shows the dangers of deepfakes and ai using dead actors

Quite good. Obviously made with love. ❤
Brilliant work
that is absolutely fantastic !
You've done a superb job!
Go on, admit it, who had a bit of a tear by the end? ✋ I certainly did.
The AI isn't quite up to snuff yet, but it's great seeing Patrick Troughton again. My favorite doctor by far.

Awesome! 😃
Had me going there for a moment till I read the comments, me thinking I didn't remember Hartnell in that story.
All those classic shows that are missing and are only on Audio, maybe we can bring the shows back.
Fantastic ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice!
Oh how marvellous
Moral of the story...be careful what you wish for.
Excellent!
This is brilliant.
Love this!!!
