There's really no debate: the most overrated Doctor is always going to be the 8th Doctor; the most underrated Doctor is always going to be the 8th Doctor. It all depends on whether or not you're talking about the movie of the Big Finish version.
He's my favorite. I think he deserves more attention than he's given. I've found I'm the odd one out when it comes to my fellow whovian friends. I'm a sophomore, that they all like Tennant and Smith, except one, who likes Tom Baker. I suppose I'm a twovian...
I loved that moment with Peter Capaldi where the first doctor says it to BIll, and then slams the TARDIS door closed, and the doctor and BIll just stare at each other awkwardly for a moment, and then he asks that they just pretend that never happened.
That was unfortunate but like people act like that was Hartnell’s go to phrase like that was his jellibabies. It was just one unfortunate line although say whatever u want on The Ark or Celestial Toymaker
@@scl1332 Right?! I mean, had a point. Susan was being irresponsible and childish. Tbh, she wasn't a great companion (she's alot better in Big Finish though)
It's not "pretty much impossible" to watch every episode of Doctor Who. It's _literally_ impossible. The original tape reels for some of the earlier episodes were physically taped over by the BBC, before the era of home video recording. They are quite literally gone forever.
Incanticle 666 They weren't broadcast as radio plays. When the episodes were shown on tv, some fans used tape recorders to record the audio from them. Because of these fans, we have the audio for all of the missing episodes.
Fun fact: Jon Pertwee served in the secret service during WWII, Ian Fleming was his boss. They were keen to send him overseas, but he opted to train field operative instead. So you can say that there's a bit of James Bond in him, and the same of 007 too. (This was from the DWM a few years back on an unpublished interview they did with Pertwee.)
From what I've read, you could not only draw parallels to James Bond, Ian Fleming literally based the character partly on Pertwee (with the other parts being himself and Christopher Lee).
@@fartsofdoom6491 I only remember part of the interview from a few years back. But I won't be surprised about Ian taking inspiration from his life of work.
Very nice. If you dig deeper you will find that UK tv has VERY close ties to the Security Services...so close that sometimes active agents are directors actors etc...then look at Hollywood...Laurel Canyon...read Dave McGowan...Jim Morrison's dad essentially started the Vietnam war (prob due to poor intel...maybe)...and on and on...even Ben Affleck said the see eye A is often on set...Garner...and on.
@@fabulousdolphin4221 I sometimes wonder if Pertwee remained an intelligence asset- the tale of how he got his big break after the warin radio comedy seemed a bit contrived.
The recent Classic Who marathon on Twitch ran for 3 months 3-4 stories a day (about 4-5 hours of show repeated 3 times a day) 5 days a week starting from the first episode to the last one (with about 5 daleks stories that got removed due to legal issues)... it was glorious and worth it even though after ward i felt drained. but the chat while watching kept you going... nothing like watching Dr Who with up to 12,000+ other people.
If the special effects budget looks like it could fit on someone's credit card then you're watching classic Doctor Who, my friend. And that's what makes it awesome!
No mention of of rock quarries seen on the show? "I have grown weary of all the evil in the cosmos. All the cruelty, all the suffering, all those endless gravel quarries." - The Doctor, on being in yet another rock quarry
Yes, it was "The Cruse of the Fatal Death". It was an official BBC parody Doctor Who special made for the "Red Nose Day" charity telethon and Rowan Atkinson played "The Doctor".
Why does everybody wanna just ignore the fact this show was great because the budget constraints forced them to be more creative with what little they had? Sure, not every episode was great. That generic, unprofound statement can be said of literally every single TV-Show every made, and it's not a legitimate criticism. The fact is, most of the episodes of classic who were actually really great, with some weak ones here and there. Seeing as it ran for 26 seasons, it has more weak episodes than most, but still more of its episodes are good than bad.
Honestly that's still the case for NuWho. The episodes with the huge plot and big explosions and stuff are the most boring ones imo, while episodes like Midnight with 1 set and no visible monsters is amazing and haunting.
Seriously, for a corny as the show could be, it had some really great stories and some really good villains over the years. And some truly terrifying moments.
@@jonperkins4460 Legitimately the Rani was a terrible. That's not to say she couldn't be brought back and reworked slightly into something interesting but in classic series god was she awful.
They should have gone over all the companions like they did with the Modern Who trailer. It would have been hilarious to watch the nicknames they could have come up with for them.
@dani True, but they should have at least pointed out the major ones. Or they could have said something like "these are all the companions everyone knows" and then made jokes about the lesser-known ones, like they did with the first Game of Thrones trailer. I just don't feel like a Classic Who trailer can be complete without at least some mention of the companions.
That story, Terror of the Autons, got more complaints than any other TV programme ever. People being suffocated by flowers, strangled by phones, crushed by furniture, shop dummies coming to life and murdering everyone in sight, policemen turning out to be faceless robots. It was great.
Getting Doctor why fans to tell you who the best doctor is like asking someone who their favourite child is. They love them all equally for different reasons.
leuan Hunt That is not exactly true now. I know people who really dislike some Doctors and I personally could never warm up to Davison's protrayal on TV, but I learned to like him more in the audios. But there's one Doctor who I just can't stand and I'll never fully understand why most others, especially fans of my generation, who came to the show with the New Series, like him so much, and that is the Tenth one.
Thank you! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that the daleks look like they have a toilet plunger attached to them. The other object opposite of their "plungers" looks like an electric kitchen whisk. I have seriously thought that if I was to ever create a Dalek cosplay for Comic Con, I would use those two items for those parts of the Dalek construction.
Eight is an underrated GOAT. Such a vast amount of content in the audio stories and so much of it more consistent than the show itself and of course Tom baker is *the* doctor.
Marvelous and funny. But when I was a kid in the 70's Dr Who was sublime, truly spellbinding and entrancing. Being whisked away to such weird worlds every Saturday was the highlight of my week. And the stories were actually rather good most of the time, some incredibly morbid and scary during the Tom Baker era when they forgot they were making a children's programme. But yes, the fight scenes were often awful. And then we all grew up and watched Blakes 7.....
Yes and it’s a great way to compensate for Cougar Town having long since ended and that Cougarton Abbey was only 6 episodes long. Yeah if you don’t get that then you were lying about knowing what Inspector Spacetime was in reference too.
Wait, I just watched classic and it is gone. Or, perhaps, classic regenerated into modern. No, wait, classic is back with 27 additional seconds. They must have found some more lost seconds.
Dr Who is the equivalent of Shakespeare in Sci Fi. Oh Star Trek and Star Wars can be watched understood and enjoyed by anyone but with Dr Who you are getting an education in the Cultural Bed rock that made modern Sci Fi. It's like the Bible or Mona Lisa at first you don't understand why it's so popular but after time you grow to love it and wonder how you lived without it for so long

Mad kudos to Dan for watching every episode both old and new. I know he's been trying to get through them for a while to get this made, couldn't have been easy.
Easy. Weirdly dated ad oddly boring despite the potential of the plot. Seemingly aimed at students from the 80's. Nobody cares about the bible anyway but you'd have to be a real idiot to believe Revelations. Never work with children or animals. Hot witch.
5:04 To be fair, The Doctor never calls himself Doctor Who, and anyone who does, he corrects. He even got annoyed when The Mistress called him Doctor Who in a season finale.
Nice to have a Classic HT as well as a Modern HT. One minor nitpick at the end, the Modern DW is NOT a reboot! It's a revival/resume of the show. (And yes there is a difference between the two)
It's a bit of a soft reboot in the same continuity. Part of the way it was developed was with the intention that Series 1 would be the first season of Who that many new fans would see. It was designed to reintroduce everyone to the Doctor and the staple concepts of the show while changing the status quo in many ways, like making the Doctor the sole* survivor of a great Time War.
I have been a Doctor Who fan for over 26 years, it is a show that is very special to me, both the classic 20th Century series and the new 'rejuvenated' seasons. It was a big influence on me growing up, it helped me through a childhood of being bullied and has contributed in part to who I am today, my morals & my humour. Both these Honest Trailers (for the classic series & for the new) are brilliant! I know how much work you must have put in, to go from never having watched the show, to knowing enough to comment on it's flaws, tropes, themes...through a fifty plus year history...the task was monumental...but as a Who fan, I am so appreciative, so thankful that you did so with such grace, humour and wit...and above all with kindness...these are both wonderful.Each one hits on all the things we Who fans know to be true; the good, the bad, the laughable and the laudable...but treats all that could be derisory with the same affection and knowingness as us 'Whovians'...those 'shonky' parts of the classic era that can be attributed to low budgets and the era in which it was made, production values and resources etc.)...are a large part of why we love it and hold it so close to us.It is the show that we loved as children, could enjoy with our friends and our parents...and could then pass on to our own children...and these two trailers, whether through accident or design, has captured that perfectly.Thank you, thank you for treating this show with affection and kindness, whether it is an affection you felt yourselves or not.You have made a true blue Whovian very happy.Yours, Ian P

3:59 Well the Cybermen alone predicted the Borg, let's be honest. I mean, there was even a crossover comic that highlighted exactly how similar they were.
Linda Smith, Actually the Borg were originally insects but the budget didn’t allow for it. So they went with cyborg’s. The Cybermen seek to convert others in order to survive while the Borg assimilate to gain perfection. While they are both cyborg’s they are not copies of each other.
@@paladinboyd1228 BTW I know I'm a bit late here but both the borg and the cybermen need to convert to grow their numbers, it was revealed in Voyager that the Borg don't reproduce. Also both of them claim that being converted is favorable to living the life of a normal flesh creature. The only real difference is what they _claim_ the reason is.
Yes, published by IDW a while ago. It had the Matt Smith Doctor meeting Picard and his crew and teaming up against the Cybermen and the Borg. It also had a flashback to a meeting between the Tom Baker Doctor and Kirk and co.
Should've mentioned one reason the Doctor doesn't visit America often is cuz that time he arrived in SF...as soon as he stepped out the TARDIS he got shot by a gang and regenerated into 8 lol
I remembered that when The Doctor was sitting at the presidents desk threatened with guns while completely relaxed until River screamed "They're Americans!" aaaand only _then_ he put his hands over his head. It's like " _crap_ , they *are* gonna shoot me... _Again_ "
That train wreck of a TV movie angered me so damn much. It was grossly Americanized and retconned so much of what I loved about Doctor Who. And that idiotic line about him being half human was just the cherry on that sh*t cake.
Ironically with "eleven's" second season (the sixth of the refurbished run i think) they returned to America as they started to coproduce it between BBC Wales and BBC America (both glad for the additional money and hoping to butt into the large and mostly un-exploited american market for Scifi and quirky stuff) ... Stuff like the moon landing episode or the Doctor being shot while wearing a cowboy hat in an american location came from that... and it never fully went away.
I was always bugged about that because (1) it seems such a mundane death, plus all the time the Doctor, that one included, had guns pointed at him and managed to get out of it (including one with that very incarnation where he's actually encouraging the guy to shoot him to the point where he basically psyches the guy out of wanting to do it) and (2) not long before that scene his narriation talked about him being more cautious in his old age, THEN he leave the TARDIS without even checking the scanner for danger (which he pretty much never did before).
Nobody here says earthlings unless they're being cute. We don't call the planet Humania or Personus or Peopley. That is the point, and it's a valid one about a lot of sci-fi writing.
@@hazukichanx408 We may not call the planet Humania but we call it Earth yet planet Water would be way more accurate. If we had a name for our species way back when the planets name came to be it probably would be called that. "The name Earth derives from the eighth century Anglo-Saxon word erda, which means ground or soil." We are even more unoriginal if you think about it.
They're still down about 70, but since the BBC has the audio files...for some reason, they've started animating the missing episodes, which is actually pretty cool.
@@bomouth142 the audio files are from fans who audio recorded episodes when they originally broadcast. The Beeb declared amnesty to anyone returning audio or video of Who back in the 80's and that amnesty is ongoing.
LOL this is both hilarious and pretty accurate! Classic Doctor Who is my favorite! And I’m not even one that grew up with the series in the 70s, or even 80s, I just like old television 😂
@@matleb8491 Retcons, or Reconstruction? I mean, many of the original episodes, and movies were broadcast in Vidicon. Before they had VCRs to record them at home. They were recorded, but back then, they had to be recorded by pointing a film camera at a monitor, in black, and white. The BBC didn't take care of them, some were lost, or just allowed to degrade because celluloid doesn't keep that well.
Reconstruction, the "lost episodes" are not very lost because we have all the sound (the noise, the voice....) but the visual do not exist but pictures exists Sound+pictures = recons
@@matleb8491 Okay, thanks for clarifying. Yeah, they had to record the sound, and film separately, and magnetic tape lasts longer than celluloid films. However, you do realize that Reconstructions from sound are not the original episodes, right? They have most of the scripts too, but I said you can't Watch all the original episodes, because they no longer exist. I guess you can Listen to them, but you can Listen to the original radio version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (Fun fact, the "Audio Book" of HHGTTG is actually the original radio broadcasts. Also, Douglass Adams started out writing scripts for Doctor Who.)
I’m a teen and my parents taught me well and made (not really though) me grow up watching these doctors until I was old enough and introduced me to the new ones. I love them all! Thank you for this!!!
I remember seeing those as a kid and being really confused by them. I had been watch the show on PBS for years, at that point, and couldn't figure out what the deal with those movies were. I loved them and even had the first one VHS (years later) but they were still confusing. :)
Been waiting years for this! Wasn’t expecting you to do the classics!!! For those who haven’t watched them plz plz watch them the classics are amazing and big finish too!!!!
God I love Classic Doctor Who. Undoubtedly my favourite TV show of all time. New Doctor Who is still good but nothing on the original 26 seasons. Even the worst episodes are just non stop fun to watch! Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker and, Sylvester McCoy are my top 3 favourite doctors!
Aside from some McCoy era episodes as a small child, I started Doctor Who watching the new series, than went for the original. I have to say I agree that it's very fun to watch and one of my favourite series (better than the new one at the very least). That being said there are so many great series out there, that I wouldn't call this one the best. I wouldn't call any other series the best either though, since it depends on my mood for me.
seven and one here. First episodes I saw were Unearthly Child, Ghostlight and The greatest Show in the Galaxy. I liked the 7/ace's rapport, while the first doctor's relationship with susan had an intriguing grandfather - granddaughter/kidnap victim vibe.
I've watched every single Classic Who episode (or experienced missing (: ). And I absolutely recommend it for New Who fans. You will not regret it!!! It is as brilliant as 2005 revival (sometimes even more brilliant).
I started to watch it because I liked the New series, and certainly like the old better now. I'm not sure it is actually better, but it seems more original and less run of the mill to me, so you can sometimes just not see where they are going with it, which makes it more interesting to me.
@@bluepolarbear I don't know about that. Classic Who is still great, but New Who definitely added some Quality of life improvements. Mostly the stories are less plot driven and a lot more character driven, with more focus on developing the characters and fleshing them out. Not to say Classic didn't have great characters because it did, but you can't really say they drove most of the episodes or had that much development. Because of that, even episodes that might otherwise be lackluster are improved a bit by having more character development, because if it didn't have that, you'd just have a lackluster plot. To me, New Who is an evolution of the old show that adds to the formula and updates it for the modern day, because while Classic Who is still fantastic for when it was made, it wouldn't really stand up if made nowadays.
My husband and I have horrible memories of how scary the Green Bubble Wrap Monster was when we were kids. When we find green bubble wrap now we attack each other with it.
I kind of wish they would just animate all the missing ones they have the audio for (I'm guessing they haven't already and probably due to budget). The most bizzare thing I ever saw (aside from that one Patric Troughton epsiode where everyones faces looked like possessed dolls or something) was a version of "Shada" they did where they mixed the shot footage with animated stuff. It was so jarring, I don't know why they didn't just animated the whole thing.
Same, they have audio for every episode so its more of a "is there a demand" and budget thing. I saw the Shada episode aswell and really liked that they used the original shots they took before the strike happened and animated it. It was enjoyable
The animating is quite expensive, and the 60’s era stories didn’t do so well in DVD sales. That’s why prior to Power of the Daleks, and Shada, the only stories with animated episodes were ones with two episodes max missing. Power of the Daleks has a huge reputation in fandom, and Shada has always fascinated fandom (enough to get at least four different official releases in various media).
To be fair to classic Who, *most* shows were far more deliberate back in those days. Go watch some original series Trek, or any other popular drama from the 60s. They are all plodding by today's standards.
It's kinda a trade-off. The classic series for sure can be very deliberate in it's pacing and there are stories that one could argue didn't need to be the length they were (Ex. War Games). But at the same time there is something relaxing about it, plus it allowed the stories and characters more time to breath. Plus one has to take into account that the standards and expectations for television back then was different than it is now. The Hartnell and Troughton era very much followed the "televised plays" format that maybe jarring to modern viewers used to more cinematic presentation. The modern series tends to have the opposite problem were it benefits from quicker pacing, but sometimes eps would stuffed with so many ideas that you WISH they were longer. Haha!!
i remember the moment that it clicked with me that movies didn't do long, drawn-out musical credits sequences anymore because people get bored and want to get to the freaking movie
DejaVoodooDoll “without adding anything to the main storyline” Which episode are you referring to? Because while that is true of a small minority of them, most of the time the larger number of episodes implies a better story. Just to list a few: The Silurians, 7 episodes Inferno, 7 episodes Genesis of the Daleks, 6 episodes Talons of Weng-Chiang, 6 episodes By contrast the very select few stories only two episodes in length were generally quite poor or unremarkable, such as The Sontaran Experiment.
One of the main reasons I cant get into new Who, is I miss the Classic format of their seasons being several multi-episode arcs that are almost like several mini-seasons in a way, vs the new format of a more modern tv style of several one-off episdoes building up to something.
The Metacrisis Doctor made an analogy to dropping a "spanner" on a submarine, and at the time I thought he was talking about some fancy submarine equipment because I had no idea British people have a different word for "wrench." I suspect there have been many comparisons between the sonic-screwdriver and an (adjective)-wrench that went completely over mine and many other people's heads because of this.
Three things: 1. Thanks for including my comment at the beginning 2. Thanks for being nice to the 6th Doctor 3. Thanks for referencing big finish/novels All in all great video 👍
Galactic yo yo another three: 1) Don’t wonder off 2) I’m the Doctor, not the Professor And 3)... well I’ll think of 3 by the time we get back to Perivale
"I understand we all look the same" Okay, so yeah it was kinda insulting that the guy playing him wasn't really chinese, but if you pretend he was it is a great line for the character. That's the line that made me think 'wow, this guy understands how to manipulate people.' (first time I watched it I had no idea he wasn't actually chinese). I wish TV was brave enough to not shy away from these topics because it makes the characters so multi-dimensional.
I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and I 100% agree with everything in this honest trailer. As always, well done and congrats for 'enduring' all of classic Dr Who!
For real though, thank you so much for doing classic who as well! Even though it's super good and underrated it's also extremely memeable, and people need to make fun of it more.
Grew up with these on PBS--they would show an entire episode on weekends, usually Sunday afternoons. I at one point had about 90 hours on VHS--and sadly never transferred them. A true classic--one of the longest running shows of all time.
I've watched every single available episode plus reconstructions of the missing ones plus listened to every audioplay, read every comic and I'm making my way through the original novels so it's not impossible, you just need a lot of free time
@@gen77c I have the problem of being too indulgent with bad DW stuff. I won't say I liked Space Pirates, but I liked really (and well-deserved) underrated episodes like The Sensorites or The Claws of Axos. I must say, Timelash wasn't THAT bad.
"The this is what all people think of when they think of classic dr who doctor" to be fair he was the doctor for 7 years being the longest running doctor to date
There's one specific episode which is memorably bad, even for 60s Who, where their budget for things that they didn't already have (tardis, etc) was like 30 pounds. they made insects out of paper mache. They make the spiders Pertwee faced look completely realistic.
I once spent 4 months marathoning all of the classic series. It's a loooooooooong time going through it all, but you do see several excellent episodes as you go.
I recall someone who'd never watched a second of Classic Who but had a choice between watching an AFL game(Aussie Rules) or the premiere of New Who. She chose New Who and loved it. The she was inspired enough to later on pretty much marathon all of the Classic stuff as well. She ended up loving Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston the most. Fair enough on 9 to. Everyone treasures their first Doctor. Like me forever having a soft spot for Sylvester McCoy.
I watched thorugh a good chunk of classic who (maybe about half, and some from each era). I was really, really impressed when i got to tom baker. I didnt expect how good he would be, but as soon as i watched some of his episodes i knew why he is the most iconic and truest docotr. hes so perfectly alien and awesome

@@fabulousdolphin4221 I sometimes wonder if Pertwee remained an intelligence asset- the tale of how he got his big break after the warin radio comedy seemed a bit contrived.
And his son went on to play Alfred in Gotham, easily one of the best characters in the series.

I can't believe you watched that much Doctor Who. That must have been mind breaking.
The recent Classic Who marathon on Twitch ran for 3 months 3-4 stories a day (about 4-5 hours of show repeated 3 times a day) 5 days a week starting from the first episode to the last one (with about 5 daleks stories that got removed due to legal issues)... it was glorious and worth it even though after ward i felt drained. but the chat while watching kept you going... nothing like watching Dr Who with up to 12,000+ other people.
I can’t believe you’ve got 8 likes on your comment and your mr Sunday movies 😂
@@NZBigfoot damn, i wish i had known about that before it happened
The same can be said of a fan of The Simpsons. I've watched every single episode so far.
the classic shows are all on britbox. :-)
6:05 how dare he call Brigs knocking out the Master a “bad fight scene”, it’s iconic 😤
If the special effects budget looks like it could fit on someone's credit card then you're watching classic Doctor Who, my friend. And that's what makes it awesome!
No mention of of rock quarries seen on the show?
"I have grown weary of all the evil in the cosmos. All the cruelty, all the suffering, all those endless gravel quarries."
- The Doctor, on being in yet another rock quarry
"Oh, look! ROCKS!!!" - Also The Doctor
I know the "Oh, look! Rocks!" quote is from Destiny of the Daleks, but I'm not certain about the other one. Was it Hand of Fear?
I believe it was the comedy skit with Rowan Atkinson, "The Curse of Fatal Death"
Adrian Parkinson I think you are right. But the Doctor definitely complained that he always lands in quarries to Sarah Jane in that episode.
Yes, it was "The Cruse of the Fatal Death". It was an official BBC parody Doctor Who special made for the "Red Nose Day" charity telethon and Rowan Atkinson played "The Doctor".
Why does everybody wanna just ignore the fact this show was great because the budget constraints forced them to be more creative with what little they had? Sure, not every episode was great. That generic, unprofound statement can be said of literally every single TV-Show every made, and it's not a legitimate criticism. The fact is, most of the episodes of classic who were actually really great, with some weak ones here and there. Seeing as it ran for 26 seasons, it has more weak episodes than most, but still more of its episodes are good than bad.
I agree!
Thank god someone on here likes doctor who and can explain that's it's not all bad! Because doctor who is great!
Yes. It was great in a "set shaking" way like the original Star Trek could only hope to achieve.
chile it's a parody for fun. it's not a criticism
Agreed.
Honestly that's still the case for NuWho. The episodes with the huge plot and big explosions and stuff are the most boring ones imo, while episodes like Midnight with 1 set and no visible monsters is amazing and haunting.
You missed the best enemy, the "we have no budget so drew a blob on the film"

Classic Doctor Who is the best acid trip ever
thats a long acid trip...
True
I find it great that the subtitles actually get the names of every character and enemy correct, has anyone else noticed that?
Okay but Dæmons, Autons and Omega are actually great villains
Seriously, for a corny as the show could be, it had some really great stories and some really good villains over the years. And some truly terrifying moments.
They should either bring back Omega or the Rani. The Master has been great, but another Timelord would be a welcome return.
All *3rd doctor* villains.
@@jonperkins4460 Legitimately the Rani was a terrible. That's not to say she couldn't be brought back and reworked slightly into something interesting but in classic series god was she awful.
Autons were brought to New Who twice, and they were first villains of New Who :)
*_You know his name!_*
We really don't.
you have to go back to the 4th doctor, he was adressed by name, by another timelord
@@julieeverett7442 Theta Sigma was nickname, not his given name.
@@SonofSethoitae It actually was like a diminutive, we can write his name, but I can´t pronounce it
They should have gone over all the companions like they did with the Modern Who trailer. It would have been hilarious to watch the nicknames they could have come up with for them.
@dani True, but they should have at least pointed out the major ones. Or they could have said something like "these are all the companions everyone knows" and then made jokes about the lesser-known ones, like they did with the first Game of Thrones trailer. I just don't feel like a Classic Who trailer can be complete without at least some mention of the companions.
Unfortunately they would have given the viewers irreparable hearing damage with Bonnie Langford’s screaming.
,,the inflatable plastic chair of doom" 🤣🤣🤣😂
That story, Terror of the Autons, got more complaints than any other TV programme ever. People being suffocated by flowers, strangled by phones, crushed by furniture, shop dummies coming to life and murdering everyone in sight, policemen turning out to be faceless robots. It was great.
Very Monty Python-esque humor 😂
Getting Doctor why fans to tell you who the best doctor is like asking someone who their favourite child is. They love them all equally for different reasons.
Ieuan Hunt all parents have a favorite child, if you don’t know who that is, you aren’t. ;)
leuan Hunt That is not exactly true now. I know people who really dislike some Doctors and I personally could never warm up to Davison's protrayal on TV, but I learned to like him more in the audios. But there's one Doctor who I just can't stand and I'll never fully understand why most others, especially fans of my generation, who came to the show with the New Series, like him so much, and that is the Tenth one.

Seriously? TWO Doctor Who Honest trailers and no joke about the toilet plunger of the Daleks???
*sink plunger
honestly i'm kinda surprised that they hardly mentioned how some people think the Daleks look like 'certain' inappropriate objects.
Thank you! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that the daleks look like they have a toilet plunger attached to them. The other object opposite of their "plungers" looks like an electric kitchen whisk. I have seriously thought that if I was to ever create a Dalek cosplay for Comic Con, I would use those two items for those parts of the Dalek construction.
I admire the restraint
I feel like that joke is so over done, they even do it on the show itself
Eight is an underrated GOAT. Such a vast amount of content in the audio stories and so much of it more consistent than the show itself and of course Tom baker is *the* doctor.
Marvelous and funny. But when I was a kid in the 70's Dr Who was sublime, truly spellbinding and entrancing. Being whisked away to such weird worlds every Saturday was the highlight of my week. And the stories were actually rather good most of the time, some incredibly morbid and scary during the Tom Baker era when they forgot they were making a children's programme. But yes, the fight scenes were often awful.
And then we all grew up and watched Blakes 7.....
You are so right-Tom Baker’s Doctor Who had some truly great villains and monsters and some really hair-raising situations.
I love the fact that the 5th Doctor is the 10th Doctor’s father in law considering that Peter Davidson is David Tennants favourite Doctor

Nice to have a Classic HT as well as a Modern HT. One minor nitpick at the end, the Modern DW is NOT a reboot! It's a revival/resume of the show. (And yes there is a difference between the two)
Series 2 of the Modern Series confirms it's the same continuity when Sarah Jane directly references her departure in the Classic Series.
Just one of the many examples of the times Classic stuff has appeared in Modern-Who
It's a bit of a soft reboot in the same continuity. Part of the way it was developed was with the intention that Series 1 would be the first season of Who that many new fans would see. It was designed to reintroduce everyone to the Doctor and the staple concepts of the show while changing the status quo in many ways, like making the Doctor the sole* survivor of a great Time War.
Please don't remind us
Unfortunately
Admit it, even the rubbish stuff is compellingly rubbish. It's like Flash Gordon without the fake tan.

I have been a Doctor Who fan for over 26 years, it is a show that is very special to me, both the classic 20th Century series and the new 'rejuvenated' seasons. It was a big influence on me growing up, it helped me through a childhood of being bullied and has contributed in part to who I am today, my morals & my humour. Both these Honest Trailers (for the classic series & for the new) are brilliant! I know how much work you must have put in, to go from never having watched the show, to knowing enough to comment on it's flaws, tropes, themes...through a fifty plus year history...the task was monumental...but as a Who fan, I am so appreciative, so thankful that you did so with such grace, humour and wit...and above all with kindness...these are both wonderful.Each one hits on all the things we Who fans know to be true; the good, the bad, the laughable and the laudable...but treats all that could be derisory with the same affection and knowingness as us 'Whovians'...those 'shonky' parts of the classic era that can be attributed to low budgets and the era in which it was made, production values and resources etc.)...are a large part of why we love it and hold it so close to us.It is the show that we loved as children, could enjoy with our friends and our parents...and could then pass on to our own children...and these two trailers, whether through accident or design, has captured that perfectly.Thank you, thank you for treating this show with affection and kindness, whether it is an affection you felt yourselves or not.You have made a true blue Whovian very happy.Yours, Ian P

3:59 Well the Cybermen alone predicted the Borg, let's be honest. I mean, there was even a crossover comic that highlighted exactly how similar they were.
More like the Borg were COPIED from them.
Linda Smith, Actually the Borg were originally insects but the budget didn’t allow for it. So they went with cyborg’s.
The Cybermen seek to convert others in order to survive while the Borg assimilate to gain perfection.
While they are both cyborg’s they are not copies of each other.
Wait, so there's an _official_ Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover?
@@paladinboyd1228 BTW I know I'm a bit late here but both the borg and the cybermen need to convert to grow their numbers, it was revealed in Voyager that the Borg don't reproduce. Also both of them claim that being converted is favorable to living the life of a normal flesh creature. The only real difference is what they _claim_ the reason is.
Yes, published by IDW a while ago. It had the Matt Smith Doctor meeting Picard and his crew and teaming up against the Cybermen and the Borg. It also had a flashback to a meeting between the Tom Baker Doctor and Kirk and co.
Should've mentioned one reason the Doctor doesn't visit America often is cuz that time he arrived in SF...as soon as he stepped out the TARDIS he got shot by a gang and regenerated into 8 lol
I remembered that when The Doctor was sitting at the presidents desk threatened with guns while completely relaxed until River screamed "They're Americans!" aaaand only _then_ he put his hands over his head. It's like " _crap_ , they *are* gonna shoot me... _Again_ "
That train wreck of a TV movie angered me so damn much. It was grossly Americanized and retconned so much of what I loved about Doctor Who. And that idiotic line about him being half human was just the cherry on that sh*t cake.
Yeh, I didn't enjoy the Americanisation, but Paul McGann was a great doctor, if only a brief one.
Ironically with "eleven's" second season (the sixth of the refurbished run i think) they returned to America as they started to coproduce it between BBC Wales and BBC America (both glad for the additional money and hoping to butt into the large and mostly un-exploited american market for Scifi and quirky stuff) ... Stuff like the moon landing episode or the Doctor being shot while wearing a cowboy hat in an american location came from that... and it never fully went away.
I was always bugged about that because (1) it seems such a mundane death, plus all the time the Doctor, that one included, had guns pointed at him and managed to get out of it (including one with that very incarnation where he's actually encouraging the guy to shoot him to the point where he basically psyches the guy out of wanting to do it) and (2) not long before that scene his narriation talked about him being more cautious in his old age, THEN he leave the TARDIS without even checking the scanner for danger (which he pretty much never did before).
How can u make fun of how unoriginal the name The Damon’s from the planet Damonds We are earthlings from the planet earth
Nobody here says earthlings unless they're being cute. We don't call the planet Humania or Personus or Peopley. That is the point, and it's a valid one about a lot of sci-fi writing.

Watching every episode of Doctor Who is impossible. Many of them no longer exist.
They exist in recons
@@matleb8491 Retcons, or Reconstruction? I mean, many of the original episodes, and movies were broadcast in Vidicon. Before they had VCRs to record them at home. They were recorded, but back then, they had to be recorded by pointing a film camera at a monitor, in black, and white. The BBC didn't take care of them, some were lost, or just allowed to degrade because celluloid doesn't keep that well.
Reconstruction, the "lost episodes" are not very lost because we have all the sound (the noise, the voice....) but the visual do not exist but pictures exists
Sound+pictures = recons
@@matleb8491 Okay, thanks for clarifying. Yeah, they had to record the sound, and film separately, and magnetic tape lasts longer than celluloid films. However, you do realize that Reconstructions from sound are not the original episodes, right? They have most of the scripts too, but I said you can't Watch all the original episodes, because they no longer exist. I guess you can Listen to them, but you can Listen to the original radio version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (Fun fact, the "Audio Book" of HHGTTG is actually the original radio broadcasts. Also, Douglass Adams started out writing scripts for Doctor Who.)
You can drive a kit car of a Ferrari too, but it's still a Pontiac Fiero underneath the fiberglass. A reconstruction is not the original thing.

As a completist I'm going to have to insist you cover the Peter Cushing movie spinoffs now.
I remember seeing those as a kid and being really confused by them. I had been watch the show on PBS for years, at that point, and couldn't figure out what the deal with those movies were. I loved them and even had the first one VHS (years later) but they were still confusing. :)
Peter Cushing's doctor is a human scientist, while the one in the show is an alien. That's why he's called "Dr. Who" Dr is his title.
That's what I was going to say. (I have one of those movies, somewhere....)It played out more like a Star Trek thing to me, though it had Daleks.

This comment and all its replies, are the best thing I read today.
God I love Classic Doctor Who. Undoubtedly my favourite TV show of all time. New Doctor Who is still good but nothing on the original 26 seasons. Even the worst episodes are just non stop fun to watch! Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker and, Sylvester McCoy are my top 3 favourite doctors!
Aside from some McCoy era episodes as a small child, I started Doctor Who watching the new series, than went for the original. I have to say I agree that it's very fun to watch and one of my favourite series (better than the new one at the very least).
That being said there are so many great series out there, that I wouldn't call this one the best. I wouldn't call any other series the best either though, since it depends on my mood for me.
They're a fairly different kind of show. The modern one can feel too rushed or bombastic, but is still dramatically engaging - usually.
seven and one here. First episodes I saw were Unearthly Child, Ghostlight and The greatest Show in the Galaxy. I liked the 7/ace's rapport, while the first doctor's relationship with susan had an intriguing grandfather - granddaughter/kidnap victim vibe.
MrBlobby786 true that
Evil Doctor PorkChop I actually kinda liked Adric. It probably helps that his death is one of best executed in the show.
I love it when Epic Voice Guy gets exasperated.
THAT'S WHAT THE SHOW CALLED HIM FOR 18 YEARS!!!!!!!
I've watched every single Classic Who episode (or experienced missing (: ). And I absolutely recommend it for New Who fans. You will not regret it!!! It is as brilliant as 2005 revival (sometimes even more brilliant).
I started to watch it because I liked the New series, and certainly like the old better now. I'm not sure it is actually better, but it seems more original and less run of the mill to me, so you can sometimes just not see where they are going with it, which makes it more interesting to me.
Couldn't agree more. I was shocked at how different it WASN'T. New Who Super fans should enjoy the Classic Era as well.
@@bluepolarbear I don't know about that. Classic Who is still great, but New Who definitely added some Quality of life improvements. Mostly the stories are less plot driven and a lot more character driven, with more focus on developing the characters and fleshing them out. Not to say Classic didn't have great characters because it did, but you can't really say they drove most of the episodes or had that much development. Because of that, even episodes that might otherwise be lackluster are improved a bit by having more character development, because if it didn't have that, you'd just have a lackluster plot. To me, New Who is an evolution of the old show that adds to the formula and updates it for the modern day, because while Classic Who is still fantastic for when it was made, it wouldn't really stand up if made nowadays.
But if it had not been made there would be no New Who.
Corrections: It's ALWAYS more brilliant than overrated new who!!!
I love the Bubble Wrap Monster.
My husband and I have horrible memories of how scary the Green Bubble Wrap Monster was when we were kids. When we find green bubble wrap now we attack each other with it.
I have watched/listened/read every episode of classic who and I don't regret a thing.
Wikipedia will tell you that Australia has always had Doctor Who, repeated many times.
So not only the UK, nyer!

@@julieeverett7442 Haven't seen all the episodes, but I have seen all of the classic doctors on tv thanks to a mid-80s repeat of The Three Doctors.
Oh god you don't understand how much I'm hoping for the missing episodes to show up.
At least we have the audio of these episodes, as well as the novelisations.
I kind of wish they would just animate all the missing ones they have the audio for (I'm guessing they haven't already and probably due to budget). The most bizzare thing I ever saw (aside from that one Patric Troughton epsiode where everyones faces looked like possessed dolls or something) was a version of "Shada" they did where they mixed the shot footage with animated stuff. It was so jarring, I don't know why they didn't just animated the whole thing.
Same, they have audio for every episode so its more of a "is there a demand" and budget thing. I saw the Shada episode aswell and really liked that they used the original shots they took before the strike happened and animated it. It was enjoyable
True, plus we have the LC recons.
The animating is quite expensive, and the 60’s era stories didn’t do so well in DVD sales. That’s why prior to Power of the Daleks, and Shada, the only stories with animated episodes were ones with two episodes max missing. Power of the Daleks has a huge reputation in fandom, and Shada has always fascinated fandom (enough to get at least four different official releases in various media).
To be fair to classic Who, *most* shows were far more deliberate back in those days. Go watch some original series Trek, or any other popular drama from the 60s. They are all plodding by today's standards.
It's kinda a trade-off.
The classic series for sure can be very deliberate in it's pacing and there are stories that one could argue didn't need to be the length they were (Ex. War Games). But at the same time there is something relaxing about it, plus it allowed the stories and characters more time to breath.
Plus one has to take into account that the standards and expectations for television back then was different than it is now. The Hartnell and Troughton era very much followed the "televised plays" format that maybe jarring to modern viewers used to more cinematic presentation.
The modern series tends to have the opposite problem were it benefits from quicker pacing, but sometimes eps would stuffed with so many ideas that you WISH they were longer. Haha!!
i remember the moment that it clicked with me that movies didn't do long, drawn-out musical credits sequences anymore because people get bored and want to get to the freaking movie
DejaVoodooDoll “without adding anything to the main storyline” Which episode are you referring to? Because while that is true of a small minority of them, most of the time the larger number of episodes implies a better story. Just to list a few:
The Silurians, 7 episodes
Inferno, 7 episodes
Genesis of the Daleks, 6 episodes
Talons of Weng-Chiang, 6 episodes
By contrast the very select few stories only two episodes in length were generally quite poor or unremarkable, such as The Sontaran Experiment.
One of the main reasons I cant get into new Who, is I miss the Classic format of their seasons being several multi-episode arcs that are almost like several mini-seasons in a way, vs the new format of a more modern tv style of several one-off episdoes building up to something.
@@KairuHakubi People get bored far too easily these days. Can't we just sit back and enjoy the music?
If you fully appreciate the Inspector Spacetime joke we should be best friends
6 seasons and a movie !!!!
Paco Piedad quantum spanna
Blimey! Blorgons!
Guess the next stop is the Dreamatorium.
The Metacrisis Doctor made an analogy to dropping a "spanner" on a submarine, and at the time I thought he was talking about some fancy submarine equipment because I had no idea British people have a different word for "wrench." I suspect there have been many comparisons between the sonic-screwdriver and an (adjective)-wrench that went completely over mine and many other people's heads because of this.
Three things:
1. Thanks for including my comment at the beginning
2. Thanks for being nice to the 6th Doctor
3. Thanks for referencing big finish/novels
All in all great video 👍
Galactic yo yo another three:
1) Don’t wonder off
2) I’m the Doctor, not the Professor
And 3)... well I’ll think of 3 by the time we get back to Perivale
XD
Six doesn't get enough love. Big Finish truly redeemed him for me, and now even the TV eps are better for it.
"I understand we all look the same"
Okay, so yeah it was kinda insulting that the guy playing him wasn't really chinese, but if you pretend he was it is a great line for the character. That's the line that made me think 'wow, this guy understands how to manipulate people.' (first time I watched it I had no idea he wasn't actually chinese). I wish TV was brave enough to not shy away from these topics because it makes the characters so multi-dimensional.
I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and I 100% agree with everything in this honest trailer.
As always, well done and congrats for 'enduring' all of classic Dr Who!
For an advanced civilization, it took the daleks forever to fly. You could beat them with stairs.
For real though, thank you so much for doing classic who as well! Even though it's super good and underrated it's also extremely memeable, and people need to make fun of it more.
Please say: "Eddie, cooperate like a turd in the wind."
"Coasting on gas Doctor"? How dare you? ⌒▽⌒;
The Seventh Doctor is highly underrated.
Yes, I know--that's the joke~
Well in fairness he is underrated
Grew up with these on PBS--they would show an entire episode on weekends, usually Sunday afternoons. I at one point had about 90 hours on VHS--and sadly never transferred them. A true classic--one of the longest running shows of all time.
I've watched every single available episode plus reconstructions of the missing ones plus listened to every audioplay, read every comic and I'm making my way through the original novels so it's not impossible, you just need a lot of free time
I'm two Doctors left to finish! (6 & 7) Then I will rub that fact to the face of anyone who ever told me it was impossible :D
@@MorenoBroadwayMusical Awesome! Welcome to the club
@FryingPanGurl you didn't miss much. Space Pirates wasn't very good...
@@gen77c I have the problem of being too indulgent with bad DW stuff. I won't say I liked Space Pirates, but I liked really (and well-deserved) underrated episodes like The Sensorites or The Claws of Axos. I must say, Timelash wasn't THAT bad.
3:16 There was even a 12-part story, The Dalek Masterplan. Now, only audio exists for most of it.
13, if you include Mission to the Unknown.
12 if you take out the silly Feast of Steven episode where the doctor breaks the 4th wall.
There was also a 14-part story if you count Trial as one.
I think The Romans was 12 episodes.
Key to Time was 26 parts, but that’s more a frame story for the whole season.
"The this is what all people think of when they think of classic dr who doctor" to be fair he was the doctor for 7 years being the longest running doctor to date
The fact that it felt, at the beginning, like a year 4 student going "What I did with my grandad during the summer holidays" Make it so hilarious!
They had a budget of like $1000 per story, so they get a pass from me lol
£10
i get you're exaggerating, but at the beginning, their budget was roughly £2500 per episode
There's one specific episode which is memorably bad, even for 60s Who, where their budget for things that they didn't already have (tardis, etc) was like 30 pounds. they made insects out of paper mache. They make the spiders Pertwee faced look completely realistic.
Which is about £50,000 in today's currency...still barely nothing for a TV show.
Yeti it took a very long time for that to increase. It was still 2500 during the rapid inflation of the late 70s.
I once spent 4 months marathoning all of the classic series. It's a loooooooooong time going through it all, but you do see several excellent episodes as you go.
Nice :)
I recall someone who'd never watched a second of Classic Who but had a choice between watching an AFL game(Aussie Rules) or the premiere of New Who.
She chose New Who and loved it. The she was inspired enough to later on pretty much marathon all of the Classic stuff as well.
She ended up loving Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston the most. Fair enough on 9 to. Everyone treasures their first Doctor. Like me forever having a soft spot for Sylvester McCoy.
I love Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor. Doctor? Doctor Who?
I watched thorugh a good chunk of classic who (maybe about half, and some from each era). I was really, really impressed when i got to tom baker. I didnt expect how good he would be, but as soon as i watched some of his episodes i knew why he is the most iconic and truest docotr. hes so perfectly alien and awesome
Joshua Merriweather The Doctor I grew up with then Peter Davidson.
I used to think I was a fan when I was 12, but didn't realize there were other doctors until the 2005 revival.
Peter Davison is my favorite Doctor. ;D*
Even though he was before my time, He's the one I associate most as Doctor Who.
You forgot a very important detail. Douglas Adams!
Oh yes! He was in charge of most of the "Exploding Planets" stuff!!!
2:02 It’s literally impossible. Literally. There are 97 episodes that at least 99+% of people have no access to, and of those a significant number will never be recovered.
