Tom's probably taking his health more seriously since his companions started dying. Three of the four companions they lost in the last three years were his. Not to mention he wants to be around for the 50th. Colin's also taking his health pretty seriously. He even spent three weeks in the Australian jungle in an attempt to lose weight. Sylvester's probably the only one of them who still makes his doctors facepalm. Both hips are fake and he's still running around New Zealand on a bunny sled
About that, I've got something I think you'll like. A what-if senario if the former docs lived much longer lives (This passage is all a work of fiction) William Hartnell GBE lived to see the "Five doctors" 20th anniversary special, the “Dimensions in time” crossover and the 96 TV movie. Medics pleaded him not to perform as his health was at an all-time low, and doing this could potentially destroy him. He didn't listen and accepted the BBC's offer to come back. Unlike Patrick Troughton (who at this point was going grey), rather than wearing a wig to cover his bold head(he'd been battling leukaemia so chemotherapy), Hartnell decided to stay bold so fans could see what he'd been through for this special. Sure enough, he was hospitalised just days after the specials UK premiere on December 1st. It would've been a miracle if he'd survived into the next year. But then he was given a novel drug therapy, which expand his already 7 months to 21 months. He later stated in life that it "...was the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for." From there he seemed to get healthier and healthier and eventually in 1985 his 7-year-old cancer went into remission. In 1984 after learning that Colin Baker was set to take over the doctor from Peter Davidson, William wrote a letter to Colin basically wishing him luck. He wrote the letter in the style of his 1st doctor caricature, where he was congratulating Colin, but in a way of looking down on him, inferior compared to the OG doctor. Throughout the 80s, William seemed rather reclusive, most likely in-part due to the death of his wife Heather in 1984, with his only role during this time being on EastEnders as background character Tom Clements. He was killed off in-universe in 1988 from a heart attack. When Patrick Troughton faced near-death experience in 1987, William appeared on TV-AM to pay his respect and send his best wishes, showing a rare side of humility of himself. Another well remarked interview was from 1988 on an episode of "This is your life" with the 25th anniversary of DWho, where Hartnell and Sly McCoy appeared on screen together for the first time. But William's true resurgence wouldn't come until 1992, when he joined the production of "Noddy's Toyland adventures" as the series narrator. The series would last from 1992-2000, with the 4th and last season airing after his death. During this time he had several guest appearances on other TV shows from the kids comedy program "Noel's house party", to not one but 2 cameos on "The Simpsons"; S7 EP9 and S10 EP9, the latter was where he even had a voiceover appearance and it aired just 5 days before his death. And of course William played the part of 1st doctor in DWho's 30th anniversary special Dimensions in time in 1993. In-fact leading up to this, he even made a few surprise appearances at charity events with other fellow actors. As for the special itself, his involvement was very minimal due to his age. His muffled screams and cursing can be heard while he and the 2nd doctor are being held captive by the Rani. He appeared again at the end of the special immediately after 7th doctor finishes talking with 2nd, only to get another transmission from the 1st doctor and immediately jump in surprise to see 1st just staring down at him. He then speaks to all the doctors telepathically and gives them all insulting names: 4: Scarfy, 5: Celery chap, 6: Rainbow Coat and 7: Umbrella fellow. He also jokingly greets 3rd doctor as an old friend before teasing him also and bringing up his nickname: Dandy, causing 3rd to go red. In 1994 William was awarded the GBE, the Knight grand cross of the order of the British empire for his many contributions to the film and television industry throughout his 65 year long career. It was the highest honour any British citizen can get. When the Doctor Who TV movie was released in 1996, he was very critical about it. In an interview with The Times Newspaper, he praised Paul McGann's performance as the 8th doctor and wished to see much more of him, but he heavily criticised the “Americanisation” of the movie and how several aspects felt out of place. Despite his gripes, he and Sylvester McCoy went off to promote the new movie together, signing autographs and handing out video copies of the film to those who wanted them. Sadly it was around this time when his health began to take another dip. A year later McCoy spoke about how Hartnell seemed much more stiff and slower in movement but also gave him congrats for even trying to do conventions at all at his age. As it was, William was suffering from bone disease: osteoporosis, which left his bones more prone to breaking. He joined his fellow succeeding doctors for the last time in 1997 for the PC and PS1 videogame: “Destiny of the Doctors”, which was one of his last UK based works released during his lifetime. His last ever interview was recorded in November 1998 and was later used as commentary on The Simpsons episode “Mayored to the mob”, where he had a cameo and was his last work to be released during his lifetime. William Hartnell passed away in his sleep on December 25th 1998 at around lunchtime at the Denville Hall retirement home, where he’d been living since the 80s for about a decade. He was 90 years old. His death was announced the next day, where his granddaughter Judith revealed that just days prior on the 24th, she had filmed a home video of him on his soon-to-be deathbed, wishing a merry Christmas in his 1st doctor persona. “Greetings fellow whovians. This is the doctor speaking. Here to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Now I know I might not look my best right now, but do not tearfully pity my disposition. Must I remind you? There must be no regrets, no tears, no anxiety’s. Just go forth in all your beliefs… and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. I know you will do what's right. Merry Christmas everyone. Here's to a better year of 1999.” The final season of “Noddy's Toyland Adventures” was delayed several times before being aired from the 10th of January to the 3rd of April 2000; so while “Mayored to the mob” was his last project released while he was still alive, the 4th season of “Noddy” was his last ever paid acting work. (1908-1998)
Patrick Troughton CBE (yeah i've had to upload it seperately because youtubes a piece of shit) lived long enough to join his fellow doctors on the "Dimensions in time" EastEnders crossover. While at the American convention in 1987, he suffered a heart attack in his hotel room immediately after ordering room service. Just in time for the hotel employee to find him silently screaming on the floor. He had to perform lifesaving and told a passer-by to call 911 and that Patrick Troughton was having a heart attack. Paramedics arrived within the hour and wasted no time to resuscitate Troughton, while thousands of whovians waited anxiously outside for any signs of life. There Troughton appeared out the entrance in a wheelchair with a breathing mask and a blanket. And suddenly thousands of voices cheered and applauded in relief. He was flown back to England the following day and reluctantly agreed to retire and focus on recovering, during which time his wife Shelagh divorced him for constantly putting his health in danger. But then 6 years later Troughton made a surprise appearance in the "Dimensions in time" charity crossover with EastEnders. He appears in the beginning making an urgent distress signal to the fourth doctor telling him that the Rani have invaded the doctors timeline and he needs help, before getting cut off. Then he appears again at the end to talks to the seventh doctor through transmission. they argue a little then second congratulates and thanks seventh and is about to bring out his flute, but seventh cuts him off before he can play. During the production of the special, Troughton and fellow doctor actor Jon Pertwee began to form a bond, to the point that in 1994 the two men decided to form a comedy duo called “Dandy and Clown”, in reference to the insulting nicknames the 1st doctor would give them. Their comedy was similar to the likes of “Abbott and Costello”, or the “Chuckle brothers” or even “Laurel and Hardy”. Jon was the straight man while Patrick was the gay m-- just kidding… the all-time goof and the butt-monkey of most jokes. Sometimes they would even play in their doctor personas. They had a few stage appearances in local concert halls throughout England, before they got their first TV appearance performing skits on “Noels house party” in 1995, followed by ITV’s “Surprise Surprise” in 1996 where they played their doctor characters for the first time as a duo. In addition to TV, Troughton was gaining traction in movies, specifically in Disney productions. He played mostly supporting roles with his first being in The lion king in 1994 as the gopher who warned Zazu about an incoming hyena attack. Other such films (some even from Pixar) included: • Toy story in 95 as the announcer at the beginning of the Buzz Lightyear advert • James and the giant peach in 96 as Mr. grasshopper • a bugs life in 98 as Slim • Doug's 1st movie as Mr. dink and in Tarzan as Professor Porter, both in 99 • he was also a guest host on Fantasia 2000 • Monsters Inc. in 2001 as several background characters including CDA agents • finding nemo in 2003 as a pelican • Ratatouille in 2007 as the health inspector these are just a few of his countless voiceover works for the company. By 1997 Patrick's previously existing heart condition had escalated from bad to worse and he required an open heart surgery, and so ITV and the Disney company and several of their respective patrons partnered together to create a campaign to help raise funds for his surgery. It was a success, raising £178,000 past the goal £25,000. However this did mean that he had to miss out on “Destiny of the doctors”. Ergo, he was filled in by someone named David Cocker. In November 1997, Patrick revealed that his surgery was a success and he’d had no further problems since. Afterwards he returned to the Doctor who convention circuit, where the fans gave him a big welcome party. His filmography continued to expand throughout the 2000s. Another such example was on Saturday Night Live where he was guest host on several episodes, or star in sketches. In 2001 both he and Jon Pertwee were appointed a CBE (Commanders of the order of the British empire) for their services to entertainment. Starting from 2004 he joined other fellow doctors to make a string of audio-plays for Big Finish, in Patrick's case; “The Second Doctor Adventures”. All the while, he and Pertwee were performing together more and more. Some of their works together included The Sarah Jane Adventures, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, an episode of the Simpsons; S15 E4 “The Regina Monologues”, Shrek 2-3 among so many others. 9 times out of 10 if you were to search one of their names on IMDb, you’d sure enough find the other name on the same film. Their last project together was on the CBeebies series “Worzel Gummidge: The land of my Scarecrows”, where he played the crow-man. In 2007 Patrick was named a Disney legend and inducted into their hall-of-fame for his roles in their productions since the 80s. Sadly just a year later on May 23rd 2008, Patrick Troughton passed away from an undiagnosed heart problem called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy at the age of 88 years old. (1920-2008)
Sir Jon Pertwee CBE let’s just say he lives to see a lot. "Destiny of the doctors" video game, "Scream of the Shalka" miniseries and to see how the 2005 relaunch reintroduced Doctor Who to modern generations. During “Dimensions in time” Jon and Patrick began to from a BRO-mance together. Even after the special they were still performing together under their new joint name “Dandy and Clown” as early as 1994. Jon was the straight man, trying to keep things orderly without fault, much like Bud Abbott or Oliver Hardy, while Patrick was the more comedic of the two, always inadvertently finding a way to mess things up. The 2 of them had several sporadic appearances on TV and Radio for 14 years until Patrick's death in 2008. When Patrick required heart surgery in 1997, Jon was one of the top supporters for the campaign to help him pay for it. He and fellow doctor actor Peter Davidson openly encouraged people to help raise money and they were proud when the campaign was a success. He appeared voicing the Third doctor alongside his other fellow doctors in the 1997 PC and PS1 game "Destiny of the doctors". He almost considered not wanting to do it while his friend was still indisposed, but after some soul searching with William Hartnell he decided to participate anyway, feeling that’s what Patrick would want. After this he decided to go into semi-retirement but keeping close contact with Doctor who and Worzel Gummidge fans and making occasional TV interviews. He also gave up smoking around this time. In 2003 he made a cameo voice appearance in the flash animated "Scream of the Shalka" made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dr who. Also in 2003 he began making voice-over appearances in a number of Big Finish audio-plays under the series “The Third doctor adventures” up until his death. He even made crossovers with Patrick as “The Second and Third doctor adventures” until 2008. In 2006 his incarnation of Worzel Gummidge made a comeback in the form of "Worzel Gummidge: The land of my Scarecrows" airing on CBeebies for 3 seasons and 28 episodes. As its title might suggest, this new shows setting was in Wales; where Worzel and Aunt Sally have been bought by a family who run a farm in Cardiff, Wales For them to look after. Aunt Sally was made much kinder in this show and her temper was toned down. In the shows continuity this is because she realizes she is getting old and will have less likely chances of performing around the world, so decides to pay more attention to Worzel and help the farm. The real reason however was due to Una Stubbs’ increasing age and limited movement. This time around, the crowman was played this time by Patrick Troughton who initially turned it down, but changed his mind when realizing that Jon was involved. The show was cut short when Troughton died and Pertwee decided not to continue out of respect for him. Despite this, it wasn’t the last time Jon would don the scarecrow suit. Jon would make guest appearances in several other programs on the CBeebies channel as Worzel or not. Such as: Tikabilla, Green balloon club where he was a special reporting member, Something special, Jackanory junior where he read out some of the original books, and even on CBeebies bedtime story segments on more than one occasion too. Aside from his constant kids TV appearances, Jon was also a frequent contestant on panel game shows such as Have I got news for you, QI, Deal or no Deal, and even Mock The Week. In 2007, when Noel Clarke was taken ill, Jon was asked to appear on the Dr who edition of Weakest Link. He agreed. He made it up to round 4 before getting voted off tactically. That same year he became the only former doctor to date to receive a knighthood for his services to television, becoming Sir John Devon Roland Pertwee. In 2009, to celebrate his 90th birthday, he made a guest appearance on "The One Show", where he talked about how he got the part of Third Doctor and answered some of the fans most biggest questions. He made a similar appearance in the US just a few days later on The Tonight show with Conan O'Brien, where viewers noted how throughout the interview, Conan constantly looked like he “… was trying not to let out a fangirl”. Here Jon opened up for the first time about Patrick Troughton since his death. He talked about their fan conventions together, how they pretended to squabble with each other, but in reality they were great friends. When Patrick Troughton died in May 2008, Jon described him as “… a true and noble friend, and those kinds of friends are increasingly hard to find these days.” . At Patrick's funeral that was also attended by Peter Davidson, Elisabeth Sladen and David Tennant , In a eulogy, Jon described him as a talented actor, ingeniously hilarious comedian, helpful mentor, fantastic doctor and most of all was a friend and like a brother to him. Pat’s son David revealed that in his will, Patrick wanted a small share of his ashes to go to Jon to do whatever he wanted with them. So Jon kept them with him in his home until his death. His own health wouldn't start to decline until mid-2011 when he contracted Hepatitis C. It’s believed he accidentally contracted it during a blood test, and a needle which had not been properly cleaned. Fans from across the globe sent their condolences and best wishes to him, to the point that he made a Facebook post where he read out some of his favourite letters. In-fact he was very active on social media near the end of his life. He would regularly make uploads on Facebook, Twitter, RUclips and even (to a lesser extent) Tumblr, where he would upload reaction videos, host Q&A’s, read fan letters and sometimes the strange social comments he’d get. Something that other doctor actors rarely did other than special occasions. His last ever fan convention appearance was on 12th-15th July 2012 at San Diego Comic-Con, where Doctor Who was given its own showroom and featured all the classic doctors from Tom baker to Paul McCann and even Matt Smith was there. Suddenly Jon Pertwee appeared out of nowhere at the bottom of the stage in a wheelchair to a round of applause. Peter Davidson and an assistant quickly rushed to help him from his chair and onto the stage where Sly McCoy even gave up his seat for him. Later at that same event Jon was even given an Inkpot Award, marking one of the few times an actor has received such an award. When Dr Who's 50th anniversary celebration came around, the BBC asked Jon if he wanted to be involved, particularly in the episode "The day of the doctor". He agreed, but his wife explained that whatever involvement he did have would be very limited due to his ill-fading health. To get around this, the BBC and Jon reached an agreement to record his lines in his home. Christopher Eccleston was set to reprise his role as the Ninth doctor but turned it down. In his place Jon would appear as the Third doctor. His scenes were filmed between 2nd and 10th of April. His first scene was reminiscent to that of William Hartnell's in "The three doctors", where 11th, 10th and War doctor are trying to land the TARDIS in the tower of London but can't. Then they get a transmission from 3rd doctor who tells them to stop arguing and find a way to cancel the detention. After that War doctor exclaims “Who on earth was that?!”, to which the other two reply “Me. ME!”. This scene was filmed while he was in a wheelchair, in front of a green-screen of his TARDIS console. Another scene was near the end of the episode when 11th is talking with the curator, where it cuts to 10th and 3rd are having a similar simultaneous conversation revealing the other two to be trapped in a paradox. They even make reference to the upcoming 12th doctor and Steve Moffat. Although it was the voice and face of Jon Pertwee, it was actually his son Sean who provided the body of 3rd doctor with Jon's face plastered over via a wig, motion capture and deep-fake technology. "The day of the doctor" would prove to be Jon's last ever acting work. On April 24th 2013 while production of the episode was still underway, the BBC received the news that he had passed away that afternoon. It was believed that he was taking a nap and suffered from heart failure and died peacefully in his sleep. He was at the ripe age 93 years old. His death was announced the following day and it was told that The 50th anniversary episode would be his last ever appearance. "Day of the doctor" was dedicated to his memory. One half of his ashes was scattered across Furzedown road, Braishfield, one of the filming locations of Worzel Gummidge, while the other half, along with the last of Patrick's were placed beneath a newly planted tree in Bushy Park, a favourite place of Troughton's near to his family home in Teddington as a way for them to be together eternally. Even in death, Sir Jon Pertwee is considered by many to be a National Treasure in the UK. (1919-2013)
Tom Baker is still magnificiently charismatic even in his older age. I missed meeting him (by a week) when he spoke in Boston, Massachusetts many years ago. I still would like to meet him. He's an interesting character. I did get a great personal letter and photo from him. He remains my favorite. I did meet Sylvester McCoy back in 1987 and that was great. I like all the actors who played the part... it's been such a creative series. All the actors seem to get along so well together.
@chris burrows He was indeed born in London, but he left when he was three and he describes himself as a "northern lad", so I'm happy to bow his expertise
Their bodies do change when they meet up with their future versions(in my theory, they age to the point they would have had they never regenerated into the future version). There can easily be an explanation as to why 11 didn't age for a few hundred years. All of the bodies get older.
We need every Doctor from Four to Ten to be in the 50th Anniversary Special. It could be something similar to "The Three Doctors", "The Five Doctors" and...god forbid..."Dimensions in Time" Anyway, maybe it could even have the first 3 Doctors - First could be played by David Bradley, Third could he played by Sean Pertwee (the son of Jon Pertwee) and another actor who looks and/or sounds like Patrick Troughton could play Second.
Not really... 🙄 Bill, Pat and Jon were just as good (if not better) as he was on TV. Whilst Colin and Sylvester run rings around him on audio. Pat especially was instrumental in the shows survival beyond the 60s
Pat and Jon weren't noticeably older then. The only aging Pat showed was his hair got gray. But considering the explanation that needs to be given for why he and a clearly middle-aged Jamie are working for the CIA, gray hair is understandable. Dimensions in Time isn't canon to me. I refuse to believe Four would EVER chop off all those curls.
The Doctors are basically too old to reprise their roles, even with the Time Crash hand wave. But Sylvester has an idea that I think would be brilliant: Cameo each of the classic "Doctors" as antagonists. That way they're involved, it's a tribute, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a multi-Doctor story (although I would like to see it actually involve Doctors Eight through Eleven).
haha! aww poor colin and his costume. ive not really seen many of his episodes but recenlty i saw a few clips and once you get past the costume, hes actually quite good! i loved his sinister post regeneration scene....very unexpected! its interesting seeing them all here together. such a shame the charming jon pertwee wasnt there and the cheeky patrick troughton and of course the original doctor, william hartnell couldnt be there too! what a great show :)
I think that in order to explain why some doctors look an older age is because they come from a timeline or universe where that incarnation of the doctor didnt regenerate or something like that
I always figured that whenever the Doctor's incarnations meet up, the younger ones age to the point they would have aged had they lived to the other incarnation's era without regenerating(basically in the 2 Doctors, Troughton is as old as he would have been if he had lived to CB's era without regenerating once). Also they planned to do a multi-Doctor movie starring Four without his curls.
Regeneration doesn't work like that. In general a TimeLord's exterior form does not visibly physically age; hence why the Doctor can goes off for 200 years between episodes / series (notably between Series 5 and 7) and return looking exactly the same. The obvious exception to lack of visible physical ageing is the first incarnation, whose exterior must age, given that we've seen that TimeLords do start off visibly child-like (as was shown of the Master.)
If you're judging Asylum based on how it lives up to Genesis of the Daleks, of course it's going to fall flat. Genesis was one of the most important Doctor Who stories of all times, and very well told (with an excellent performance from Davros' actor). It also had four episodes in which it could be told, whereas Asylum only had 45 minutes. But by its own merits, Asylum was a good sci-fi mystery/adventure, and it showed just how desperate the Daleks had become since their decline.
Nobody's unwilling to work with anyone. Chris dodged the question in the interview I saw, which means he might very well be involved. The old series Doctors don't seem to have been asked.
I hope the old series Doctors are invited back, but I don't really expect it. Nine is as early as I'm betting (Chris dodged the question when asked, makes me suspicious). I could be wrong of course, who knows. For clarification; is the 50th Anniversary Special going to be the final episode of Series 7 or something between the Series 7 finale and the Xmas special?
Despite the age of the comment (seriously, if it's older than a month don't reply) I'll respond here because I've since found out more about the situation with Eccleston. Christopher Eccleston left the role after only a season because he had no desire to stay for longer and found he simply didn't get along with the crew of the show. He dodged the question because he was in talks to come back, at the time, be he ultimately declined.
The best Doctor is Tom Baker and will always be tom baker. He is funny has a great voice was good looking in the early 70s. He played the doctor as an immature and innocent character in his first episode. He is so funny aswell.
Peter, I believe the question marks represent the question: the first question. The oldest question in the universe, hidden in plain sight: Doctor Who?
I've tried to understand what he was saying about the episode of the Almost people, but I didn't understand one of the questions! Did they ask if he had really re-recorded the voice or did they ask something else?
Damn it, I wish cancer would have given Mary Tamm a bit more time (i really do like Romana I better than Romana II) she still looked as if she just came off the set (with a little wrinkels.) I hope Lala would come on as Romana 2. I miss Harry Sullivan. SOmething tells m e that we are not going to get the old with new doctors special that we were expecting. I am really worried that Moffet is going to miss a really great opportunity. If i could only have one doctor, it be a hartnell fake.
Yeah, but I still think Peter looks pretty good for his age. Can't really say the same thing for the others, although Tom Baker looks much healthier than he used to. Did he stop drinking or something?
C'mon Moffat. All the surviving doctor actors can still pull it off. Make an Eleven doctors story! I mean Sean Pertwee can play the third doc. David Troughton can play the second doc. Now who will play the first doctor?
Oh mighty god....I will give you my first born child if you will bring the old Doctors back for a proper 50th anniversary romp. Boy. Girl. Mutant. Whatever I spawn, it will be yours. Just give me a multi-Doctor crossover celebration of 50 years of the world's greatest & oldest science fiction television series: Doctor Who! :)
I liked Asylum. Sure, it wasn't the series' strongest story, but it was still pretty good. The only thing I can genuinely say I disliked about it was Amy's reason for kicking Rory out and how quickly the two of them resolved everything (like the Doctor fixing his bowtie). I'm not sure how I feel about the Dalek memory wipe, considering the Doctor was literally their very first enemy, even over the Thals. We'll just have to see how that goes. Loved seeing Skaro again.
Audience member: Did you like your costumes?
Tom Baker: What do you mean? I just wore my ordinary clothes.
Oh look, the 5 Doctors! And Tom is actually in it for once! :D
Wow. I never thought Tom would share a stage with other doctors!
Incredible how Tom takes full control. He's just the doctor in real life.
Gotta love how Baker is just there before everyone else talking to the audience. He's quite the charmer ;)
Tom's probably taking his health more seriously since his companions started dying. Three of the four companions they lost in the last three years were his. Not to mention he wants to be around for the 50th. Colin's also taking his health pretty seriously. He even spent three weeks in the Australian jungle in an attempt to lose weight. Sylvester's probably the only one of them who still makes his doctors facepalm. Both hips are fake and he's still running around New Zealand on a bunny sled
If Jon Pertwee were to walk into the room, damn right every head would turn, he's been dead for 16 years... :o
About that, I've got something I think you'll like. A what-if senario if the former docs lived much longer lives
(This passage is all a work of fiction)
William Hartnell GBE
lived to see the "Five doctors" 20th anniversary special, the “Dimensions in time” crossover and the 96 TV movie. Medics pleaded him not to perform as his health was at an all-time low, and doing this could potentially destroy him. He didn't listen and accepted the BBC's offer to come back. Unlike Patrick Troughton (who at this point was going grey), rather than wearing a wig to cover his bold head(he'd been battling leukaemia so chemotherapy), Hartnell decided to stay bold so fans could see what he'd been through for this special. Sure enough, he was hospitalised just days after the specials UK premiere on December 1st. It would've been a miracle if he'd survived into the next year. But then he was given a novel drug therapy, which expand his already 7 months to 21 months. He later stated in life that it "...was the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for." From there he seemed to get healthier and healthier and eventually in 1985 his 7-year-old cancer went into remission. In 1984 after learning that Colin Baker was set to take over the doctor from Peter Davidson, William wrote a letter to Colin basically wishing him luck. He wrote the letter in the style of his 1st doctor caricature, where he was congratulating Colin, but in a way of looking down on him, inferior compared to the OG doctor.
Throughout the 80s, William seemed rather reclusive, most likely in-part due to the death of his wife Heather in 1984, with his only role during this time being on EastEnders as background character Tom Clements. He was killed off in-universe in 1988 from a heart attack. When Patrick Troughton faced near-death experience in 1987, William appeared on TV-AM to pay his respect and send his best wishes, showing a rare side of humility of himself. Another well remarked interview was from 1988 on an episode of "This is your life" with the 25th anniversary of DWho, where Hartnell and Sly McCoy appeared on screen together for the first time.
But William's true resurgence wouldn't come until 1992, when he joined the production of "Noddy's Toyland adventures" as the series narrator. The series would last from 1992-2000, with the 4th and last season airing after his death. During this time he had several guest appearances on other TV shows from the kids comedy program "Noel's house party", to not one but 2 cameos on "The Simpsons"; S7 EP9 and S10 EP9, the latter was where he even had a voiceover appearance and it aired just 5 days before his death. And of course William played the part of 1st doctor in DWho's 30th anniversary special Dimensions in time in 1993. In-fact leading up to this, he even made a few surprise appearances at charity events with other fellow actors. As for the special itself, his involvement was very minimal due to his age. His muffled screams and cursing can be heard while he and the 2nd doctor are being held captive by the Rani. He appeared again at the end of the special immediately after 7th doctor finishes talking with 2nd, only to get another transmission from the 1st doctor and immediately jump in surprise to see 1st just staring down at him. He then speaks to all the doctors telepathically and gives them all insulting names: 4: Scarfy, 5: Celery chap, 6: Rainbow Coat and 7: Umbrella fellow. He also jokingly greets 3rd doctor as an old friend before teasing him also and bringing up his nickname: Dandy, causing 3rd to go red.
In 1994 William was awarded the GBE, the Knight grand cross of the order of the British empire for his many contributions to the film and television industry throughout his 65 year long career. It was the highest honour any British citizen can get. When the Doctor Who TV movie was released in 1996, he was very critical about it. In an interview with The Times Newspaper, he praised Paul McGann's performance as the 8th doctor and wished to see much more of him, but he heavily criticised the “Americanisation” of the movie and how several aspects felt out of place. Despite his gripes, he and Sylvester McCoy went off to promote the new movie together, signing autographs and handing out video copies of the film to those who wanted them. Sadly it was around this time when his health began to take another dip. A year later McCoy spoke about how Hartnell seemed much more stiff and slower in movement but also gave him congrats for even trying to do conventions at all at his age. As it was, William was suffering from bone disease: osteoporosis, which left his bones more prone to breaking. He joined his fellow succeeding doctors for the last time in 1997 for the PC and PS1 videogame: “Destiny of the Doctors”, which was one of his last UK based works released during his lifetime. His last ever interview was recorded in November 1998 and was later used as commentary on The Simpsons episode “Mayored to the mob”, where he had a cameo and was his last work to be released during his lifetime. William Hartnell passed away in his sleep on December 25th 1998 at around lunchtime at the Denville Hall retirement home, where he’d been living since the 80s for about a decade. He was 90 years old. His death was announced the next day, where his granddaughter Judith revealed that just days prior on the 24th, she had filmed a home video of him on his soon-to-be deathbed, wishing a merry Christmas in his 1st doctor persona.
“Greetings fellow whovians. This is the doctor speaking. Here to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Now I know I might not look my best right now, but do not tearfully pity my disposition. Must I remind you? There must be no regrets, no tears, no anxiety’s. Just go forth in all your beliefs… and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. I know you will do what's right. Merry Christmas everyone. Here's to a better year of 1999.”
The final season of “Noddy's Toyland Adventures” was delayed several times before being aired from the 10th of January to the 3rd of April 2000; so while “Mayored to the mob” was his last project released while he was still alive, the 4th season of “Noddy” was his last ever paid acting work.
(1908-1998)
Patrick Troughton CBE (yeah i've had to upload it seperately because youtubes a piece of shit)
lived long enough to join his fellow doctors on the "Dimensions in time" EastEnders crossover. While at the American convention in 1987, he suffered a heart attack in his hotel room immediately after ordering room service. Just in time for the hotel employee to find him silently screaming on the floor. He had to perform lifesaving and told a passer-by to call 911 and that Patrick Troughton was having a heart attack. Paramedics arrived within the hour and wasted no time to resuscitate Troughton, while thousands of whovians waited anxiously outside for any signs of life. There Troughton appeared out the entrance in a wheelchair with a breathing mask and a blanket. And suddenly thousands of voices cheered and applauded in relief. He was flown back to England the following day and reluctantly agreed to retire and focus on recovering, during which time his wife Shelagh divorced him for constantly putting his health in danger.
But then 6 years later Troughton made a surprise appearance in the "Dimensions in time" charity crossover with EastEnders. He appears in the beginning making an urgent distress signal to the fourth doctor telling him that the Rani have invaded the doctors timeline and he needs help, before getting cut off. Then he appears again at the end to talks to the seventh doctor through transmission. they argue a little then second congratulates and thanks seventh and is about to bring out his flute, but seventh cuts him off before he can play.
During the production of the special, Troughton and fellow doctor actor Jon Pertwee began to form a bond, to the point that in 1994 the two men decided to form a comedy duo called “Dandy and Clown”, in reference to the insulting nicknames the 1st doctor would give them. Their comedy was similar to the likes of “Abbott and Costello”, or the “Chuckle brothers” or even “Laurel and Hardy”. Jon was the straight man while Patrick was the gay m-- just kidding… the all-time goof and the butt-monkey of most jokes. Sometimes they would even play in their doctor personas.
They had a few stage appearances in local concert halls throughout England, before they got their first TV appearance performing skits on “Noels house party” in 1995, followed by ITV’s “Surprise Surprise” in 1996 where they played their doctor characters for the first time as a duo.
In addition to TV, Troughton was gaining traction in movies, specifically in Disney productions. He played mostly supporting roles with his first being in The lion king in 1994 as the gopher who warned Zazu about an incoming hyena attack. Other such films (some even from Pixar) included:
• Toy story in 95 as the announcer at the beginning of the Buzz Lightyear advert
• James and the giant peach in 96 as Mr. grasshopper
• a bugs life in 98 as Slim
• Doug's 1st movie as Mr. dink and in Tarzan as Professor Porter, both in 99
• he was also a guest host on Fantasia 2000
• Monsters Inc. in 2001 as several background characters including CDA agents
• finding nemo in 2003 as a pelican
• Ratatouille in 2007 as the health inspector
these are just a few of his countless voiceover works for the company.
By 1997 Patrick's previously existing heart condition had escalated from bad to worse and he required an open heart surgery, and so ITV and the Disney company and several of their respective patrons partnered together to create a campaign to help raise funds for his surgery. It was a success, raising £178,000 past the goal £25,000. However this did mean that he had to miss out on “Destiny of the doctors”. Ergo, he was filled in by someone named David Cocker.
In November 1997, Patrick revealed that his surgery was a success and he’d had no further problems since. Afterwards he returned to the Doctor who convention circuit, where the fans gave him a big welcome party.
His filmography continued to expand throughout the 2000s. Another such example was on Saturday Night Live where he was guest host on several episodes, or star in sketches. In 2001 both he and Jon Pertwee were appointed a CBE (Commanders of the order of the British empire) for their services to entertainment. Starting from 2004 he joined other fellow doctors to make a string of audio-plays for Big Finish, in Patrick's case; “The Second Doctor Adventures”. All the while, he and Pertwee were performing together more and more. Some of their works together included The Sarah Jane Adventures, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, an episode of the Simpsons; S15 E4 “The Regina Monologues”, Shrek 2-3 among so many others. 9 times out of 10 if you were to search one of their names on IMDb, you’d sure enough find the other name on the same film. Their last project together was on the CBeebies series “Worzel Gummidge: The land of my Scarecrows”, where he played the crow-man. In 2007 Patrick was named a Disney legend and inducted into their hall-of-fame for his roles in their productions since the 80s. Sadly just a year later on May 23rd 2008, Patrick Troughton passed away from an undiagnosed heart problem called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy at the age of 88 years old.
(1920-2008)
Sir Jon Pertwee CBE
let’s just say he lives to see a lot. "Destiny of the doctors" video game, "Scream of the Shalka" miniseries and to see how the 2005 relaunch reintroduced Doctor Who to modern generations.
During “Dimensions in time” Jon and Patrick began to from a BRO-mance together. Even after the special they were still performing together under their new joint name “Dandy and Clown” as early as 1994. Jon was the straight man, trying to keep things orderly without fault, much like Bud Abbott or Oliver Hardy, while Patrick was the more comedic of the two, always inadvertently finding a way to mess things up. The 2 of them had several sporadic appearances on TV and Radio for 14 years until Patrick's death in 2008.
When Patrick required heart surgery in 1997, Jon was one of the top supporters for the campaign to help him pay for it. He and fellow doctor actor Peter Davidson openly encouraged people to help raise money and they were proud when the campaign was a success.
He appeared voicing the Third doctor alongside his other fellow doctors in the 1997 PC and PS1 game "Destiny of the doctors". He almost considered not wanting to do it while his friend was still indisposed, but after some soul searching with William Hartnell he decided to participate anyway, feeling that’s what Patrick would want.
After this he decided to go into semi-retirement but keeping close contact with Doctor who and Worzel Gummidge fans and making occasional TV interviews. He also gave up smoking around this time.
In 2003 he made a cameo voice appearance in the flash animated "Scream of the Shalka" made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dr who. Also in 2003 he began making voice-over appearances in a number of Big Finish audio-plays under the series “The Third doctor adventures” up until his death. He even made crossovers with Patrick as “The Second and Third doctor adventures” until 2008.
In 2006 his incarnation of Worzel Gummidge made a comeback in the form of "Worzel Gummidge: The land of my Scarecrows" airing on CBeebies for 3 seasons and 28 episodes. As its title might suggest, this new shows setting was in Wales; where Worzel and Aunt Sally have been bought by a family who run a farm in Cardiff, Wales For them to look after. Aunt Sally was made much kinder in this show and her temper was toned down. In the shows continuity this is because she realizes she is getting old and will have less likely chances of performing around the world, so decides to pay more attention to Worzel and help the farm. The real reason however was due to Una Stubbs’ increasing age and limited movement. This time around, the crowman was played this time by Patrick Troughton who initially turned it down, but changed his mind when realizing that Jon was involved. The show was cut short when Troughton died and Pertwee decided not to continue out of respect for him.
Despite this, it wasn’t the last time Jon would don the scarecrow suit. Jon would make guest appearances in several other programs on the CBeebies channel as Worzel or not. Such as: Tikabilla, Green balloon club where he was a special reporting member, Something special, Jackanory junior where he read out some of the original books, and even on CBeebies bedtime story segments on more than one occasion too.
Aside from his constant kids TV appearances, Jon was also a frequent contestant on panel game shows such as Have I got news for you, QI, Deal or no Deal, and even Mock The Week. In 2007, when Noel Clarke was taken ill, Jon was asked to appear on the Dr who edition of Weakest Link. He agreed. He made it up to round 4 before getting voted off tactically. That same year he became the only former doctor to date to receive a knighthood for his services to television, becoming Sir John Devon Roland Pertwee. In 2009, to celebrate his 90th birthday, he made a guest appearance on "The One Show", where he talked about how he got the part of Third Doctor and answered some of the fans most biggest questions.
He made a similar appearance in the US just a few days later on The Tonight show with Conan O'Brien, where viewers noted how throughout the interview, Conan constantly looked like he “… was trying not to let out a fangirl”. Here Jon opened up for the first time about Patrick Troughton since his death. He talked about their fan conventions together, how they pretended to squabble with each other, but in reality they were great friends.
When Patrick Troughton died in May 2008, Jon described him as “… a true and noble friend, and those kinds of friends are increasingly hard to find these days.” . At Patrick's funeral that was also attended by Peter Davidson, Elisabeth Sladen and David Tennant , In a eulogy, Jon described him as a talented actor, ingeniously hilarious comedian, helpful mentor, fantastic doctor and most of all was a friend and like a brother to him. Pat’s son David revealed that in his will, Patrick wanted a small share of his ashes to go to Jon to do whatever he wanted with them. So Jon kept them with him in his home until his death.
His own health wouldn't start to decline until mid-2011 when he contracted Hepatitis C. It’s believed he accidentally contracted it during a blood test, and a needle which had not been properly cleaned. Fans from across the globe sent their condolences and best wishes to him, to the point that he made a Facebook post where he read out some of his favourite letters. In-fact he was very active on social media near the end of his life. He would regularly make uploads on Facebook, Twitter, RUclips and even (to a lesser extent) Tumblr, where he would upload reaction videos, host Q&A’s, read fan letters and sometimes the strange social comments he’d get. Something that other doctor actors rarely did other than special occasions.
His last ever fan convention appearance was on 12th-15th July 2012 at San Diego Comic-Con, where Doctor Who was given its own showroom and featured all the classic doctors from Tom baker to Paul McCann and even Matt Smith was there. Suddenly Jon Pertwee appeared out of nowhere at the bottom of the stage in a wheelchair to a round of applause. Peter Davidson and an assistant quickly rushed to help him from his chair and onto the stage where Sly McCoy even gave up his seat for him. Later at that same event Jon was even given an Inkpot Award, marking one of the few times an actor has received such an award.
When Dr Who's 50th anniversary celebration came around, the BBC asked Jon if he wanted to be involved, particularly in the episode "The day of the doctor". He agreed, but his wife explained that whatever involvement he did have would be very limited due to his ill-fading health. To get around this, the BBC and Jon reached an agreement to record his lines in his home. Christopher Eccleston was set to reprise his role as the Ninth doctor but turned it down. In his place Jon would appear as the Third doctor.
His scenes were filmed between 2nd and 10th of April. His first scene was reminiscent to that of William Hartnell's in "The three doctors", where 11th, 10th and War doctor are trying to land the TARDIS in the tower of London but can't. Then they get a transmission from 3rd doctor who tells them to stop arguing and find a way to cancel the detention. After that War doctor exclaims “Who on earth was that?!”, to which the other two reply “Me. ME!”. This scene was filmed while he was in a wheelchair, in front of a green-screen of his TARDIS console. Another scene was near the end of the episode when 11th is talking with the curator, where it cuts to 10th and 3rd are having a similar simultaneous conversation revealing the other two to be trapped in a paradox. They even make reference to the upcoming 12th doctor and Steve Moffat. Although it was the voice and face of Jon Pertwee, it was actually his son Sean who provided the body of 3rd doctor with Jon's face plastered over via a wig, motion capture and deep-fake technology.
"The day of the doctor" would prove to be Jon's last ever acting work. On April 24th 2013 while production of the episode was still underway, the BBC received the news that he had passed away that afternoon. It was believed that he was taking a nap and suffered from heart failure and died peacefully in his sleep. He was at the ripe age 93 years old. His death was announced the following day and it was told that The 50th anniversary episode would be his last ever appearance. "Day of the doctor" was dedicated to his memory. One half of his ashes was scattered across Furzedown road, Braishfield, one of the filming locations of Worzel Gummidge, while the other half, along with the last of Patrick's were placed beneath a newly planted tree in Bushy Park, a favourite place of Troughton's near to his family home in Teddington as a way for them to be together eternally.
Even in death, Sir Jon Pertwee is considered by many to be a National Treasure in the UK.

I love Tom bakers voice oh sweet Jesus someone save me
I had goosebumps galore just hearing his voice (before they showed his face) while watching the last part of "The Day of the Doctor".
Do you want your ears cut off or something? :P
Wonderful to see Tom Baker sharing a platform with all those other Doctors.
At last. :P
I think Colin's coat was freaking awesome. Saw a couple episodes recently, kept admiring the coat!
A lot of people wouldn't agree, but I do. ☺️
Colin and the technicolor dream coat
I thought I was the only one
Tom Baker is still magnificiently charismatic even in his older age. I missed meeting him (by a week) when he spoke in Boston, Massachusetts many years ago. I still would like to meet him. He's an interesting character. I did get a great personal letter and photo from him. He remains my favorite.
I did meet Sylvester McCoy back in 1987 and that was great. I like all the actors who played the part... it's been such a creative series.
All the actors seem to get along so well together.
Tom Baker & Paul McGann Liverpool Doctors!
Gan Eden Media - Sylvester McCoy, David Tennant and Peter Cipaldi: REALLY Northern Doctors
@chris burrows He was indeed born in London, but he left when he was three and he describes himself as a "northern lad", so I'm happy to bow his expertise
*Hartnell walks in*
WH: So you are my replacements: A mule, a youngster, a colorblind, a midget and... well, you're quite a fine man, Eighth.
Ah yes still I'm sure he'd be delighted so many took after and respected his legacy
@@HypArtz002 Up until Chibnall came in
Sooooo cool seeing 4&8 together! My two favorite doctors!
Look at Tom Baker there. The man is slouching in the chair because if he sits up straight, he’s going to tower over the other actors.
I'm always impressed by how devoted the vast majority of Doctor Who actors are to the series and fans.
I will be very, very sad when baker dies
He will always be with us in spirit.
I'll be sad to when Tom Baker dies as well. Great guy, funny as hell and brilliant actor even though he doasn't believe it himself.
Agreed however, focus on him living now, at least until the 60th anniversary!
+Metal Hero Studios That would be AWESOME 😀 if Tom could stay with us until the 60th anniversary! Still quick witted with a sharp mind.
Dawn of Justice Productions Exactly.....Let's put out efforts to make this happen
Peters a boss just drinking his drink
I adore every single one of these men. I met them eleven years ago and cried afterwards.
Their bodies do change when they meet up with their future versions(in my theory, they age to the point they would have had they never regenerated into the future version).
There can easily be an explanation as to why 11 didn't age for a few hundred years.
All of the bodies get older.
I LOVE paul. Dunno why, i just do.
I understand. I LOVE Tom and his Doctor. I don't know why either but I do. God bless.😀
We need every Doctor from Four to Ten to be in the 50th Anniversary Special. It could be something similar to "The Three Doctors", "The Five Doctors" and...god forbid..."Dimensions in Time"
Anyway, maybe it could even have the first 3 Doctors - First could be played by David Bradley, Third could he played by Sean Pertwee (the son of Jon Pertwee) and another actor who looks and/or sounds like Patrick Troughton could play Second.
others r doctors but The Doctor played Tom Baker from 1974-1981...Thats the power of Baker....He is the Doctor
THE DEFINITE ARTICLE YOU MIGHT SAY
Not really... 🙄
Bill, Pat and Jon were just as good (if not better) as he was on TV. Whilst Colin and Sylvester run rings around him on audio.
Pat especially was instrumental in the shows survival beyond the 60s
@@minicle426 agreed..My most fav is David Tenant though but from Classic era i really loved Tom Baker.
This panel looks like one man getting the DNA results to find out who his dad is out of four options.
Pat and Jon weren't noticeably older then. The only aging Pat showed was his hair got gray. But considering the explanation that needs to be given for why he and a clearly middle-aged Jamie are working for the CIA, gray hair is understandable.
Dimensions in Time isn't canon to me. I refuse to believe Four would EVER chop off all those curls.
Dimensions is a bad dream the doctor had just before the TV movie 😂
I have been waiting 31 years for this moment!
thank you thank you thank you. Five Doctors!!!! All together!!!! Even if they just stood onstage and said nothing this would be brilliant.
The Doctors are basically too old to reprise their roles, even with the Time Crash hand wave. But Sylvester has an idea that I think would be brilliant: Cameo each of the classic "Doctors" as antagonists. That way they're involved, it's a tribute, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a multi-Doctor story (although I would like to see it actually involve Doctors Eight through Eleven).
haha! aww poor colin and his costume. ive not really seen many of his episodes but recenlty i saw a few clips and once you get past the costume, hes actually quite good! i loved his sinister post regeneration scene....very unexpected! its interesting seeing them all here together. such a shame the charming jon pertwee wasnt there and the cheeky patrick troughton and of course the original doctor, william hartnell couldnt be there too! what a great show :)
Peter just goin' nuts on that coffee.
I'm so happy this exists, thank you
Thanks for posting this, I loved every minute.
Thank you so much for posting these videos from Collectormania. Fantastic!
You are well informed. I really liked watching this video. I am going to my 2nd Who convention in Chicago later this year. The 1st was back in '87.
I think that in order to explain why some doctors look an older age is because they come from a timeline or universe where that incarnation of the doctor didnt regenerate or something like that
Suprised to see Tom Baker on a panel with other Doctors when I saw him at cons he did not do panels with other Doctors.
Thank you, thank you so much for this footage
Now if they can get all of these guys together for a convention, the BBC sure as hell can get them together for the 50th anniversary.
It's Really awesome that Tom Baker show's up with the Other Doctor because is just a legend!
After turning his nose up at the Five Doctors. :P
I think something like this is being planned for the 50th. Getting all the actors together.
this was quite a historic gathering. Shame there weren't more official photos
It's Chris who's not working with them. Tom's stubborn, but he's willing to work with the other actors. We just need to convince Chris to come back.
How is Paul McGann still so good looking ?
I believe he’s a vampire 😂😂. He is aging wonderfully!! ❤️
Thanks so much for posting these - wonderful
We have to keep at least one Doctor in a secure location, like the Speaker of the House when the President and Vice President are together.
I hope they're all friends in real life like very good friends
Hahaha! Okay. Thanks.
That was great to see this. They don't bring Doctor Who actors over to America that often...
I love Tom bakers voice so much
I always figured that whenever the Doctor's incarnations meet up, the younger ones age to the point they would have aged had they lived to the other incarnation's era without regenerating(basically in the 2 Doctors, Troughton is as old as he would have been if he had lived to CB's era without regenerating once).
Also they planned to do a multi-Doctor movie starring Four without his curls.
7 and 8 keep quiet about their vampire anti aging ability..
Regeneration doesn't work like that. In general a TimeLord's exterior form does not visibly physically age; hence why the Doctor can goes off for 200 years between episodes / series (notably between Series 5 and 7) and return looking exactly the same. The obvious exception to lack of visible physical ageing is the first incarnation, whose exterior must age, given that we've seen that TimeLords do start off visibly child-like (as was shown of the Master.)
I was at this talk!!!! A few rows behind you.
When the rest of The Doctors walked in, my RUclips went crazy. Pretty self-explanatory.
Thanks for posting - really appreciate it!!
The person asking the question about Tom Baker's voice in the almost people sounds like Anjli Mohindra!
If you're judging Asylum based on how it lives up to Genesis of the Daleks, of course it's going to fall flat. Genesis was one of the most important Doctor Who stories of all times, and very well told (with an excellent performance from Davros' actor). It also had four episodes in which it could be told, whereas Asylum only had 45 minutes. But by its own merits, Asylum was a good sci-fi mystery/adventure, and it showed just how desperate the Daleks had become since their decline.
Tom Baker was brilliant in "Genesis Of The Daleks" as well. The actors name that played Davros was Michael Wisher.
+AtarahDerek- "Genesis...." was a 6-part story and, IMHO, the best story of the entire 26-year run. Not a bad performance from any regular or guest.
@@MichaelSIngle-gn9qz Power of the Daleks? Caves of Androzani?
This is so surreal. Odd in so many ways.
there's a picture of Sean Pertwee dressed up as his father. very spooky
wow five doctors together,amazing
briliant!!
Nobody's unwilling to work with anyone. Chris dodged the question in the interview I saw, which means he might very well be involved. The old series Doctors don't seem to have been asked.
"Is this your first time together on stage?"
Doctors: *"Yes"*
Paul, you're lookin' fiiiiiiine...
Agree!
Indeed. Very handsome man
Don't how they got Tom Baker with the other Doctors.
I hope the old series Doctors are invited back, but I don't really expect it. Nine is as early as I'm betting (Chris dodged the question when asked, makes me suspicious). I could be wrong of course, who knows.
For clarification; is the 50th Anniversary Special going to be the final episode of Series 7 or something between the Series 7 finale and the Xmas special?
Those damn question marks !
Tom needs to make some more audio books
I'd like to hear what Paul McGann has to say about working with David Fincher.
Despite the age of the comment (seriously, if it's older than a month don't reply) I'll respond here because I've since found out more about the situation with Eccleston.
Christopher Eccleston left the role after only a season because he had no desire to stay for longer and found he simply didn't get along with the crew of the show. He dodged the question because he was in talks to come back, at the time, be he ultimately declined.
So... very... Happy!
Tom hogging the conversation surprise surprise
Yeah everyone wants that tho since he does these things fairly rarely
He's young compared to the others!
I'm usually very level headed and calm, but I squeed this time.
Christopher from Manchester asks a question: Were EVER type cast into Sci Fi roles afterwards?😂
The best Doctor is Tom Baker and will always be tom baker. He is funny has a great voice was good looking in the early 70s. He played the doctor as an immature and innocent character in his first episode. He is so funny aswell.
Not really. That would be Troughton. The fact that other Doctors (including Tom) hold him in such high regard reinforces that.
Peter looks uncomfortable as per usual!
Peter, I believe the question marks represent the question: the first question. The oldest question in the universe, hidden in plain sight: Doctor Who?
I
Wait?! Sylvester and Sophie recorded their Big Finish audio adventures into a toilet or did I hear that wrong?!
Man, Baker is ridiculously tall!
aquagrl63 which Baker? TOM?!
You've heard right!
I've tried to understand what he was saying about the episode of the Almost people, but I didn't understand one of the questions! Did they ask if he had really re-recorded the voice or did they ask something else?
Damn it, I wish cancer would have given Mary Tamm a bit more time (i really do like Romana I better than Romana II) she still looked as if she just came off the set (with a little wrinkels.) I hope Lala would come on as Romana 2. I miss Harry Sullivan. SOmething tells m e that we are not going to get the old with new doctors special that we were expecting. I am really worried that Moffet is going to miss a really great opportunity. If i could only have one doctor, it be a hartnell fake.
Is the young on the 8th?
It's his excessive consumption of mushrooms.
Yeah, but I still think Peter looks pretty good for his age. Can't really say the same thing for the others, although Tom Baker looks much healthier than he used to. Did he stop drinking or something?
Peter Davison still looks pretty good
Don't forget Paul! He was young for age in this video too!
@@DayanaRockStar122 I agree
Paul McGann has to ns btw.
C'mon Moffat. All the surviving doctor actors can still pull it off. Make an Eleven doctors story! I mean Sean Pertwee can play the third doc. David Troughton can play the second doc. Now who will play the first doctor?
we already have him, David Bradley is quiet worthy!
we have him David Bradley has proven himself very worthy!
where and when did this happen?
I have yet to see even one of these convention videos that doesn't desperately need captioning.
Oh mighty god....I will give you my first born child if you will bring the old Doctors back for a proper 50th anniversary romp. Boy. Girl. Mutant. Whatever I spawn, it will be yours. Just give me a multi-Doctor crossover celebration of 50 years of the world's greatest & oldest science fiction television series: Doctor Who! :)
Go the Doctors ...a fans dream ; )
But did he record that line again for that certain episode or did they use some old audio?
Who's David Show? (Forgive my spelling in the last comment). Do you mean David Tennant?
My bad...
I liked Asylum. Sure, it wasn't the series' strongest story, but it was still pretty good. The only thing I can genuinely say I disliked about it was Amy's reason for kicking Rory out and how quickly the two of them resolved everything (like the Doctor fixing his bowtie). I'm not sure how I feel about the Dalek memory wipe, considering the Doctor was literally their very first enemy, even over the Thals. We'll just have to see how that goes. Loved seeing Skaro again.
