I've always loved how the 1st Doctor acts like he's older than the others even though he's the youngest! Same with the War Doctor treating 10th and 11th like kids even though he was younger than both of them!
me Yeah, I know the 1st and War Doctor lived longer than the other regenerations in themselves, but overall, they were younger than the Doctors who came after them.
But hear , all The War Doctor adventures are on Big Finish . Now The 1st Doctor was likely not born but woven from genetic looms (book Lungbarrow , Cold Fusion also audio ) .
Ashbridge Industries because of the way they live a Doctor that has lived 1000 years can claim to be older than a Doctor who has lived 100 years despite being the earlier version. The First Doctor actually had a childhood, education, profession and only started being the Doctor when he was already a grandfather. The War Doctor fought a brutal war that arguably aged him to death, having no time for the young boys' nonsense the 10th and 11th were spouting. 11 himself lived on Trenzalore for 700 years, becoming as old and cranky as the 1st. If he had met any previous Dr he would call them young man. The oldest doctor 12 protests to the 1st that he IS younger despite the obvious
I read somewhere they both served in the Merchant Navy. Troughton was a workaholic. Pertwee was a determined businessman and actor. If I had to choose I'd choose Troughton, because I have always liked the idea of someone being underestimated and still being the smartest person in the room
+Ed Parnell The Royal Navy, if you please! They were both in the Second World War, and indeed served for a time together on the same ship. Troughton was apparently very eccentric; in freezing cold weather, he refused to wear a helmet and instead wore a tea cosy on his head.
"You mean you're deliberately choosing to go on the run from your own people, in a rackety old TARDIS?" "Why not? After all, that's how it all started!"
funnily enough, there's a comic from in between the 2nd and 3rd doctor eras that details a bit more about troughton's regeneration... and it involves time lord-controlled scarecrows!
"Congratulations, you just became President!" "Hey, uh, I got this thing I need to turn off and I left my roast in the oven and I got this other thing I'm doing tomorrow and after that...oh, you know what? Screw it. RUN! GO! GET TO THA TARDIS! GO, GO, GO, GO!"
I always find it amazing that Pertwee never really looked like he had aged all that much when he came back for these special things. A few more wrinkles, hair had gone white, but he was still the Doctor right up to the end!
He looked much more womanly, more like a grandmother, as happens with men as they age, and the testosterone lowers. The hormonal reason behind why many men are said to "soften with age. The same reason, only in reverse that women grow hairs on their chin.
People crap on the JNT era, but the closing credits were done perfectly with a blending of all the themes over the 20 year history, at the time, of the show.
And of course, Patrick and Jon have met two different incarnations of the Master. I think Tom sort of holds the record in that regard, although Peter is tied with Patrick and Jon.
Although she doesn't seem to have remembered the events of The Five Doctors when she met #10... Which kinda' figures. It appears that, to avoid paradox, only the oldest Doctor can retain the memory of these timeline-crossing events.
@HARRYRANTS A. That's not how you spell Karen B. Literally just being a woman doesn't make you a Karen, but I guess you take objection to female heroes full stop.
Seeing the 2nd and 3rd Doctor acting like an old married couple will never cease to be funny. I was quite glad the 13th Doctor alluded to that in the Doctors Assemble, during the Lockdown videos 👌🏻
Honestly, while I don't care at all for the idea of any Doctors being recast (regardless of whether they're alive or dead), Hurndall does a lovely job. He's not much like the First Doctor (neither is Bradley, for that matter), but for what it is, it's a charming performance all the same.
Probably one of my favorite scenes in all the franchise because of not just 4 of the Doctors in the same scene, but the companions in the background across different eras looking on. Really just ties together so much more.
Kinda weird how the Fifth Doctor doesn't take much interest in catching up with Susan. After all, he's still her grandfather and he hasn't seen her for roughly three hundred years.
We're lucky she was even allowed to call him 'Grandfather'. John Nathan-Turner didn't want the reference because he said it would make people think about the Doctor having sex... Carole Ann Ford said if that was the case, she wouldn't do the story, so JNT was forced to cave. She thought it was utterly ridiculous. There was apparently a scene filmed of a short conversation between Five and Susan, but apparently they thought Carole Ann Ford and Peter Davison had sexual tension... So it was cut.
Aren't ALL the Doctors Susan's grandfather? Well, not "all". I suppose if Susan met Dr. 13 (Jodie Whittaker), she'd probably call her grandmother. I don't like that the 5th Doctor barely had any interaction with Sarah Jane. She last saw the Doctor in his 4th incarnation and obviously didn't recognize him when she said " It was very nice to meet you." But the 5th Doctor acted like Sarah was a stranger to HIM. He doesn't say a word in response (not in even so much as a "Sarah, it's ME!) seeming almost cold to her. Why wouldn't he greet her as warmly as he did the Brigadier in " Mawdryn Undead"?
"I'll explain it later." Classic line from John Pertwee's time as The Doctor! I viewed the VHS version from the library back in the '80's, and recently purchased the DVD with the un-mastered and re-mastered versions. I always watch the original.
Capaldi's Doctor and Clara agree to have their short-term memories wiped with those worms, as well as 2 other people, a modified human that "becomes" whoever she touches, and an "enhanced" human with computer chips installed in his head.

Yeah, yeah I remember that, and yes, yes it has been canon for so long but only stated in that episode I suppose. Maybe it's a good thing Nine never got a crossover because that one had self loathing to the extreme
No matter which incarnation it is I think the Doctor views the Brigadier as a real friend and someone he could trust and rely on. Companions always seemed like people the Doctor was teaching and educating, and that is probably why when the 2nd Doctor was forced to regenerate he sought out the Brigadier. He compensated for the aspects the Doctor lacked. And in the episode with the 7th Doctor you can see the happiness and also concern as the Doctor knew what he was doing and didnt want his friend caught in the middle. Would have loved to see a real episode with him and the 6th Doctor.
I always like to think that even though technical the later doctors are older and wiser, they still treat the 1st doctor as sort of the leader and more important. Because deep down under all their different personalities his life is the true doctor, his real self, the one whose ideals the others follow
I suppose it's because the Hartnell Doctor was the "longest" lived incarnation (up to that point anyway) and also is further back in the Doctor's past than the others, so that's how he's regarded as the Elder of them by the future selves.
"Fancypants"-"Scarecrow": That was somewhat tickling. The part where the 5th Doctor was holding onto Sarah's hand & staring at her-Priceless, even though I was like what's going on here? 😉
India Johnson he wanted to take Sarah to see his Eye of Orion, if you know what I mean. Wink wink, nudge nudge. When this TARDIS is a rockin', don't come a knockin'!
+David Blyth You don't "crush on" children who are in your care. That's how the Doctor regarded his companions back when he wasn't a romantic character (one of the crippling blows dealt to the post-2005 series). And his life was always dangerous; he'd previously lost Katarina and Sara, both in the same adventure when he was in his original form.
I have to say, the way the first Doctor is portayed throughout The Five Doctors is such a nice homage to Hartnell and shows the loving Grandfather side of him that we didn't get to see so much. David Bradley did very well with portraying Hartnell's performance but I find I prefer the warm, caring old man.
Oh, Susan always had the Doctor wrapped round her finger, and it shows in a lot of episodes. Hartnell was genuinely fond of Carole An Ford, and came to regard her as a granddaughter. She jokes that he thought her to be younger than she actually was.
As a 13 year old Doctor Who fan, this was the best thing we had ever seen! All 5 Doctors together (ok, I know Tom wasn't really there, and it was Richard instead of William!), but my Favourite TV show for the previous 7 years had just hit the Jackpot! (the Two Doctors wasn't as Special, but both Time Crash and The Day Of The Doctor were [I didn't see The Three Doctors as I was only 2 at the time!].) 🤔
Ahhhh, the TV special that made me fall in love with all things Doctor Who. Saw this as a young boy in the mid 90's at the public library. Then my true doctor was the eighth because the TV movie aired shortly after watch the five doctors...
This was one of my favorite episodes of the Classic Who. Yes, it would have been nice to have Misters Hartnell and Baker there, but Mister Hurndall did a good job of the First Doctor. Imagine if the Fifth Doctor had stayed and become Lord President.
I kind of wish they called up jeffrey beavers Obviously Roger Delgado had passed But having a multi master story In the same setting as a multi doctor one would be a great way to show the difference of the characters
I hope there is another multi doctor story soon with Jodie Whitaker, Capaldi, Smith, Tennant and Paul McGann (I'd throw Eccleston in there as well obviously but even if it did happen he most likely wouldn't come back).
I would love to see that. Especially the reaction of the 11th Doctor seeing the 13th Doctor because when he regenerated he thought he was a girl for a moment.
Tom Baker's still a legend as theory said, it was too soon after he quit-or a disagreement over the script? Remember The Three Doctors when the late William Hartnell made cameo role due to long illness?
So so brilliant to see three of the four best Dr's ever to play the coveted role! Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee & Davison. Along with Tom Baker (sadly absent from this), these four actors ARE the best Doctors. Period!
My thinking is that Flavia is the mysterious woman who appeared in the End of Time. She would have been the Acting President at the start of the Time War and would have supervised the revival of Rassilon to be a wartime leader. It would have made sense for her to be increasingly disillusioned with Rassilon's conduct in office. Hence the long look she gives the Tenth Doctor.
Of all the anniversary episodes this is probably the best of the bunch. The anniversary episodes are sopped to be when you look back and who's been along for the ride and this has it at its best. The five doctors had one way or another all 5 doctors and most of the compainions up till this point.
It was good that Bessie, the yellow roadster the Doctor drove while he was working for Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart as his scientific advisor at UNIT, did get to be seen again after The Five Doctors. That car hasn‘t been seen in Doctor Who since the 7th Doctor‘s era.
A good ending to a good Multi Doctor Story who should have been better if Tom Baker and William Hartnell (Without wishing to offend you Mr Hurndall) were in it.
You realize William Hartnell was dead at that point, right? Besides, I thought Richard Hurndall did a far better job at playing the original Doctor than William Hartnell. Maybe it’s just Terrance Dicks’ superb writing coming through, but I much preferred Hurndall’s performance to Hartnell’s.
Also Tom didn’t appear because he was totally typecast and wanted to break the public’s very strong association of him with the part. The last thing that would have been good for his career at that point would be to return for the 20th anniversary only 2 years after leaving when he already was there for 7 years. All the news outlets and journalists would be screaming “Return of Tom Baker to Doctor Who!” It would have been terrible. If you really cared about Tom you’d know he made the right decision. Besides, I think what JNT did was quite clever, using hitherto unseen footage from Shada to write Tom into the plot, even if we barely see him.
I have not seen many clips from the classic era, although I did see the parody starring Rowan Atkinson. Hearing Pertwee say "I'll explain later" made me chuckle.
Classic era suggestions from somebody who saw them go out first time round as a kid in the awesome gothic era 70s! - check out The Ark in Space and the 4 or 5 stories after it - all great. Also see Pyramids of Mars and the Brain of Morbius. Image of the Fendahl good too. If you can forgive the effects, all these stories are great!
In their relative timelines they have been brought to 5s present, his time where Gallifrey and the Master have aged the same alongside him. They always return to Gallifrey in their present experienced time, never the future or past (either made impossible by the Matrix making sure the experience is correct and allowing them passage or some other science)
I've been thinking about how the various versions of the Doctor seem able to cross over with themselves whenever they want to and I've come to this conclusion: Every version of the Doctor has their own timeline. When a Doctor "regenerates", it's actually the start of a new timeline, allowing the previous version to continue his life (and the actor to grow older) while the current Doctor lives the new timeline. As such, with 13 different doctors, there are 13 different timelines and each doctor continues to live in his or her own.
Too bad that Leela didn't get to see the Doctor in his 5th incarnation during this adventure and the other appearances he had before she met him. If the Doctor did decided to take the oath of Lord President of Gallifrey again,she would want to attend his re-inauguration and her husband Andred,who was Captain of the Capitol guards at the time of the Doctor's 1st inauguration and the original K-9,would've attended.
@HARRYRANTS Tom Baker said that at the time he was asked to take part in it but declined because from his pov, he hadn't that long since left the show after having played the Doctor for about 7 years & felt he needed to distance himself as an actor from the character & it was too soon to reprise the role, though he has since said he regretted not being in it. The producers then used unaired footage of Tom as the Doctor from the story 'Shada' & came up with the idea of him being trapped by the 'time scoop' to explain his absence from the rest of the 5 Doctors story. It's just a pity he wasn't really in it properly, though some people feel if he _had_ been in it, his presence might have over shadowed the other actors playing the Doctor, I personally think it still could've worked, the writer, Terrance Dicks said, the og idea was to have the 4th Doctor be the one who was tempted by the power of Rassilon , with the other 4 Doctors freeing him at the end, could've also been good? but we'll never know, but I'm still happy with what we did get in the end.
Logan 900 I doubt they would’ve been able to get him in anyways considering how bad his health would’ve been. I mean he was only able to appear in the three doctors via a TV
1:30 the 3rd DR dropping “we’ve had the times of my lives havnt we Sarah Jane” is a classic Dr move to fk with peoples heads in paradox situations. It’s probly like the time lord equivalents of an earth knocknock joke!
I really hope they do one special episode that is like this one which included all companions and doctors. Imagine Rose, Amy, and Clara all get together. (Lover, mother-in-law, grand daughter)
This special was called The Five Doctors, but Baker declined to appear, so they used footage from Shada (unaired at the time) and he was trapped in some wibbly wobbly time vortex thingy.
Tom Baker would have said, "I hate goodbyes. I think I'll just disappear quietly." and then the Tardis would have taken off before the other four knew what happened. 😉
I first saw the 4th doctor, then the 5th. A few months later I decided "What the heck, I'm watching the third doctor's run. Grr... I should have watched them in order :(

If Jo Grant was in this adventure, she would be glad to see not only the Doctor again but also Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. But she would be angry to see the Master, who had regenerated long after she resigned from UNIT to get married.
The Doctor is that guy you keep wanting to be your complete and total ruler who you follow without question, but keeps refusing the position and responsibility. It's a shame that when he finally took over the planet it was for the wrong reasons and when he went to far. Also this episode makes me realize how much I would absolutely LOVE an scene like this between all 13 doctors (up till 12; I’m sorry but I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Chibnall’s era). I'd even take a well written novel or comic. The interaction between all of them would just be amazing.

Ashbridge Industries 11 also lived long time, I think older than War Doctor but not as old as the 1st.
I love that they kept the gimmick of the Troughton and Pertwee versions of the Doctor never getting along going.
It was like this on set too, apparently Troughton and Pertwee would bicker at times over takes or lines.
+Therio Cassius It was never acrimonious, though. The two were great friends and did many, many appearances and conventions together.

@@DeanStrickson Peri was hotter than Sarah AND he got to stare at her cleavage as he died.
@David Blyth no he didnt , there was NEVER romance between Sarah and the Doctors, that was Jo and 3rd!
I have to say, the way the first Doctor is portayed throughout The Five Doctors is such a nice homage to Hartnell and shows the loving Grandfather side of him that we didn't get to see so much. David Bradley did very well with portraying Hartnell's performance but I find I prefer the warm, caring old man.
Oh, Susan always had the Doctor wrapped round her finger, and it shows in a lot of episodes. Hartnell was genuinely fond of Carole An Ford, and came to regard her as a granddaughter. She jokes that he thought her to be younger than she actually was.
love the scarecrow comment from 3 to 2. Jon Pertwee actually was a scare crow in Worzel Gummidge
2nd Doctor "Fancy Pants!" 3rd Doctor (in response) "Scarecrow" That's a bit rich coming from Worzel Gummige!
it's funny though
As a 13 year old Doctor Who fan, this was the best thing we had ever seen! All 5 Doctors together (ok, I know Tom wasn't really there, and it was Richard instead of William!), but my Favourite TV show for the previous 7 years had just hit the Jackpot!
(the Two Doctors wasn't as Special, but both Time Crash and The Day Of The Doctor were [I didn't see The Three Doctors as I was only 2 at the time!].)
🤔
One of the best episode endings in Doctor Who
Jon Pertwee saying "scarecrow" to his previous self cracks me up! :-D
Ahhhh, the TV special that made me fall in love with all things Doctor Who. Saw this as a young boy in the mid 90's at the public library. Then my true doctor was the eighth because the TV movie aired shortly after watch the five doctors...
This was one of my favorite episodes of the Classic Who. Yes, it would have been nice to have Misters Hartnell and Baker there, but Mister Hurndall did a good job of the First Doctor. Imagine if the Fifth Doctor had stayed and become Lord President.
I kind of wish they called up jeffrey beavers
Obviously Roger Delgado had passed
But having a multi master story In the same setting as a multi doctor one would be a great way to show the difference of the characters
"immortality is a curse..."
Except The Doctor is effectively immortal now, so that idea did not work out so well...
I hope there is another multi doctor story soon with Jodie Whitaker, Capaldi, Smith, Tennant and Paul McGann (I'd throw Eccleston in there as well obviously but even if it did happen he most likely wouldn't come back).
Believe me, his friend Jodie could talk him into it.
Perhaps Eccleston could do as Baker did , and get trapped !! ( Story Wise , at any rate !! )
I would love to see that. Especially the reaction of the 11th Doctor seeing the 13th Doctor because when he regenerated he thought he was a girl for a moment.
Paul McGann is the one I’d really like to see more of. He was incredible in Night Of The Doctor
No Shittalker
Thank you Terrance! You will be missed by all of us!
"Yet again it is my duty and my pleasure to--"
Attempt to rope him into an honest job. Good luck with that, Chancellor.
she didn't have any luck with him
#TomBaker should have been in #TheFiveDoctors
Micheal McGrath I also heard he had issues with the writers.
Henry Peters And also he hated JNT for what happened in his final series which was JNT's 1st as producer
Why is it called the Five Doctors if there's only 4 of them?
Which is a shame. I thought his final season was one of Tom's best.
Tom Baker's still a legend as theory said, it was too soon after he quit-or a disagreement over the script?
Remember The Three Doctors when the late William Hartnell made cameo role due to long illness?
So so brilliant to see three of the four best Dr's ever to play the coveted role!
Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee & Davison.
Along with Tom Baker (sadly absent from this), these four actors ARE the best Doctors.
Period!
The only thing that pisses me off about this special is the fact that the 4th Doctor wasn't really present(Shada). Dammit Tom!!
It's cool to know that Sarah Jane met Susan.
My thinking is that Flavia is the mysterious woman who appeared in the End of Time. She would have been the Acting President at the start of the Time War and would have supervised the revival of Rassilon to be a wartime leader. It would have made sense for her to be increasingly disillusioned with Rassilon's conduct in office. Hence the long look she gives the Tenth Doctor.
0:05 The Fifth Doctor
is like. 'What are you laughing at?'
Of all the anniversary episodes this is probably the best of the bunch. The anniversary episodes are sopped to be when you look back and who's been along for the ride and this has it at its best. The five doctors had one way or another all 5 doctors and most of the compainions up till this point.
Best closing theme across Who
It was good that Bessie, the yellow roadster the Doctor drove while he was working for Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart as his scientific advisor at UNIT, did get to be seen again after The Five Doctors. That car hasn‘t been seen in Doctor Who since the 7th Doctor‘s era.
My dad loves this scene, he loved it when he was young
The irony of John pertwee calling Patrick a scarecrow...
A good ending to a good Multi Doctor Story who should have been better if Tom Baker and William Hartnell (Without wishing to offend you Mr Hurndall) were in it.
Hurndall passed away 7 months later and was never paid for his work on this film. I am unsure about his estate being paid.
You realize William Hartnell was dead at that point, right?
Besides, I thought Richard Hurndall did a far better job at playing the original Doctor than William Hartnell. Maybe it’s just Terrance Dicks’ superb writing coming through, but I much preferred Hurndall’s performance to Hartnell’s.
Also Tom didn’t appear because he was totally typecast and wanted to break the public’s very strong association of him with the part. The last thing that would have been good for his career at that point would be to return for the 20th anniversary only 2 years after leaving when he already was there for 7 years. All the news outlets and journalists would be screaming “Return of Tom Baker to Doctor Who!” It would have been terrible. If you really cared about Tom you’d know he made the right decision.
Besides, I think what JNT did was quite clever, using hitherto unseen footage from Shada to write Tom into the plot, even if we barely see him.
William Hartnell had passed away 8 years prior, but Hurndall did very well playing the First Doctor. Don't know why Tom Baker declined to appear.
Just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with it.
The rivelre between 3rd and 2nd is adorable
Exactly how many times has the Doctor been offered/ been named President of Gallifrey?
He doesn't fancy the desk-job promotions...
twice that i know of
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was right about the Doctor. Splendid fellows, all of them.
If they were to laugh , it would literally be a case of being besides oneself with laughter.
I have not seen many clips from the classic era, although I did see the parody starring Rowan Atkinson. Hearing Pertwee say "I'll explain later" made me chuckle.
Classic era suggestions from somebody who saw them go out first time round as a kid in the awesome gothic era 70s! - check out The Ark in Space and the 4 or 5 stories after it - all great. Also see Pyramids of Mars and the Brain of Morbius. Image of the Fendahl good too. If you can forgive the effects, all these stories are great!
"You're the latest one" surely every doctor is the latest one of their timeline
In their relative timelines they have been brought to 5s present, his time where Gallifrey and the Master have aged the same alongside him. They always return to Gallifrey in their present experienced time, never the future or past (either made impossible by the Matrix making sure the experience is correct and allowing them passage or some other science)
I love how the Doctor starts to panic when she tells him he’s president now 😂
I'm definantely not the man i was, thank goodness-a great and oft forgotten line
I have a horrible feeling they're going to have Jodie say that at some point.
+Moonfall777 I could handle that, especially Nicola Bryant's bit. But then I've always liked her bits....
+Moonfall777 Seems to me he hates the classic series anyway, so you're most likely right.
Too many great people from this clip now sadly gone. 😢
I've been thinking about how the various versions of the Doctor seem able to cross over with themselves whenever they want to and I've come to this conclusion:
Every version of the Doctor has their own timeline. When a Doctor "regenerates", it's actually the start of a new timeline, allowing the previous version to continue his life (and the actor to grow older) while the current Doctor lives the new timeline. As such, with 13 different doctors, there are 13 different timelines and each doctor continues to live in his or her own.
This isn't what happens, the body just dies and the cells regenerate.
1:08 Worzel Gummidge calls Patrick a scarecrow? What cheek ;D
Though not watching the classic era this looks really good, Doctor number 3 especially
So Wurzel Gummage calls someone else a scarecrow... pot calling the kettle black
Lol
That is a very bizarre metaphor
Too bad that Leela didn't get to see the Doctor in his 5th incarnation during this adventure and the other appearances he had before she met him. If the Doctor did decided to take the oath of Lord President of Gallifrey again,she would want to attend his re-inauguration and her husband Andred,who was Captain of the Capitol guards at the time of the Doctor's 1st inauguration and the original K-9,would've attended.
0:58 "Goodbye Grandfathers!"
@HARRYRANTS Tom Baker said that at the time he was asked to take part in it but declined because from his pov, he hadn't that long since left the show after having played the Doctor for about 7 years & felt he needed to distance himself as an actor from the character & it was too soon to reprise the role, though he has since said he regretted not being in it.
The producers then used unaired footage of Tom as the Doctor from the story 'Shada' & came up with the idea of him being trapped by the 'time scoop' to explain his absence from the rest of the 5 Doctors story. It's just a pity he wasn't really in it properly, though some people feel if he _had_ been in it, his presence might have over shadowed the other actors playing the Doctor, I personally think it still could've worked, the writer, Terrance Dicks said, the og idea was to have the 4th Doctor be the one who was tempted by the power of Rassilon , with the other 4 Doctors freeing him at the end, could've also been good? but we'll never know, but I'm still happy with what we did get in the end.
I love how the Queen is part Elizabethan/Egyptian.
Spended fellows..all of you.
The Clown and the Dandy calling each other scarecrow and fancy pants! ;-)
I know it's old VFX and all that, but I couldn't help laughing that it's literally the drag-a-picture-in-Photoshop meme they did for 2:01 😂
Gotta wonder what this special would have been like had William Hartnell not died.
Logan 900
And if had Tom Baker taken part.
Logan 900 I doubt they would’ve been able to get him in anyways considering how bad his health would’ve been. I mean he was only able to appear in the three doctors via a TV
I really love the cut and paste style special effects of all the tardis's taking off, it's spectacular... Really ahead of it's time
That’s not the “original” / dvd version, though. Still looks decent
The Five Doctors is my most favorite episode!
4:21 No fewer than 33 speaking parts credited (including six for the Doctor)!
Never watched the old series, but boy that last bit made a little emotional. I think that so true to Doctor Who in general.
I always liked Peter Davidson's title music the best.
(i.e. Tom Baker's and Colin Baker's)
To St, no it was subtly different in places.
not for the end credit music
The end credits music begins with the 1963 theme with the pitch increased to match the 1980s theme when it transitions into it in the middle 8.
His name is Davison.
1:30 the 3rd DR dropping “we’ve had the times of my lives havnt we Sarah Jane” is a classic Dr move to fk with peoples heads in paradox situations. It’s probly like the time lord equivalents of an earth knocknock joke!
I really hope they do one special episode that is like this one which included all companions and doctors. Imagine Rose, Amy, and Clara all get together. (Lover, mother-in-law, grand daughter)
The Five Doctors is a highwater mark of the classic series.
I love the 80s doctor who
2:01 budget saving
have watched classic who episode to episode like 20 times each in my lifetime. Going for 40.
God, I miss my childhood.
"you're the latest model" Well to them none of them should be the latest model
They were in Davison's part of the Doctor's timeline, so he jolly well was the latest model. Certainly the latest one any of the first three had met.
@@MaskedMan66 They wouldn't have known, not even the 5th. The latest model could very well have been the 100th.
@Tydeus *ahem* "They were in Davison's part of the Doctor's timeline, so he jolly well was the latest model."
The 1996 TV Movie is what made me a fan of Doctor WHO ion 1996. This episode is the 2nd Doctor WHO I ever saw. Damn good!
The Four Doctors*
This special was called The Five Doctors, but Baker declined to appear, so they used footage from Shada (unaired at the time) and he was trapped in some wibbly wobbly time vortex thingy.
EmperorFrozenToes *The 3.5 Doctors
The Four Doctors is a Big Finish story.
Five. They're all in it.
+Doriartus Are you having a go at Troughton's height?
RIP Dinah Sheridan, who was also Mrs. Waterbury in the 1970 film adaptation of The Railway Children.
Tom Baker would have said, "I hate goodbyes. I think I'll just disappear quietly." and then the Tardis would have taken off before the other four knew what happened. 😉
The doctor:becomes president of gallifrey
2 seasons later:trial of the timelord(aka the trail of the doctor)
I think 2 and 3 have a little rivalry because 2 was forced into regeneration lol
Patrick and Jon were friends in real life
Oh my gosh I need the older doctors! I haven't really watched any of the older series and I think I need to.
Keiko Weaver you can't really call yourself a Dr who fan unless you have seen all the original Dr who series
+fattwat1 Well, that's hardly fair considering that so much of the first two Doctors' adventures are missing or incomplete.
I first saw the 4th doctor, then the 5th. A few months later I decided "What the heck, I'm watching the third doctor's run. Grr... I should have watched them in order :(
From Jon Pertwee on wards their ALL available, all but one of Patrick Troughton's is, and 21 of 29 of William Hartnells is
@@brendanirwin1986 Then why aren't there more Patrick Troughton episodes available to view? I think your math is off?
Makes absolutely zero sense that 1 is the smartest when he’s the youngest.
Well in a sense he could be considered the oldest. His incarnation did live longer than the other 4
I guess it's similar to how our younger selves in school remember the material we learned in class compared to 50 years later not really remembering it as freshly since time has passed. But it is weird 1 called 5 "boy"
@@yospidey0078 no, that makes no sense whatsoever. They just mistakenly wrote him as the wisest because he looks the oldest; when in fact he is the youngest.
@@thefonzkiss Yes I agree with you no doubt. I am just trying to make sense of it. I do think they made 1 too wise and it would have been nice if the other Doctors corrected him.
@@yospidey0078 you don’t have to retcon or make sense out of it, it’s a tv show. Made by fallible people. There’s this weird thing fans do where they try to retcon everything to make sense across decades of shows. It’s a tv show. The history and behind the scenes stuff is more interesting anyway.
If Jo Grant was in this adventure, she would be glad to see not only the Doctor again but also Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. But she would be angry to see the Master, who had regenerated long after she resigned from UNIT to get married.
Pertwee the best and my own favourite Dr Who.
A valid opinion. He was a good Doctor as were MOST of the Doctors.
The Doctor is that guy you keep wanting to be your complete and total ruler who you follow without question, but keeps refusing the position and responsibility. It's a shame that when he finally took over the planet it was for the wrong reasons and when he went to far. Also this episode makes me realize how much I would absolutely LOVE an scene like this between all 13 doctors (up till 12; I’m sorry but I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Chibnall’s era). I'd even take a well written novel or comic. The interaction between all of them would just be amazing.
"I'm definitely not the man I was. Thank goodness."
Something the Twelfth should have said about the First.
Burn the witch.
I liked it when the TARDIS used to pop off in the older series
