- I do not own anything within this video, all rights go to BBC and Murrah gold, and who ever else is involved
that being said. This is a heart wrenching scene leading to 10ths final good bye.
This is my favourite Doctor Who scene of all time. The Doctor releases 900 years of bottled-up anger and frustration, only to realise he's directed it at one of his most loyal friends. And then those 3 words - "Live too long."
Exactly
it's so powerful. David Tennant is one of my favorite actors.
+ToddGeek his companies we're dome of my favourite
Daniel Dineen lol companions? but yea I liked donna's wit and humor, but i really liked amy, rory, and clara best
+Lone Wolf Also if you consider what happens in 'Time of the Doctor" it could be that the 10th Doctor realizes that his next Face will be his last. i believe it might play a part of his frustration.
The fact that Wilfred is begging, not to be spared, but to be killed in order to spare the doctor, is absolutely heart wrenching to me. Love them both
Poor Wilfred. Really great character, all his intentions are good but he has to live with the guilt of so many things
Take the second sentence alone and it could be about so many characters.
Good thing Donna doesn't have to. :D
*goes and cries in a corner*
Jess Caron Less of said charecters have already seen wars, their daughter change and other horrors, and then when he thinks he has finally reached the end of his journey, The Doctor saves his old life. That is brutal
Inquisitor Sand I was thinking of Wilfred and the Doctor, mainly.
Capaldi's was good aswell.
Spoilers:
The fact that, again, there wasn't really a huge conflict save the universe type thing. The doctor was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up sacrificing himself to save a small group of people who may not even live for long after.
That “Ok right then, I will” when Wilf says to leave him is an underrated moment here.
That mixture of anger and biting sarcasm. The Doctor already knows what he’s gonna do. He knows he can’t live with himself if he just left Wilf there. It goes against everything he stands for.
And so he melts down. Because he already knows he’s dead, and it just feels unfair that he has to go. It’s a beautiful scene
Jesus we do be analysing here.
Yeah, he knew he was dead with the 4 knocks. He saw Wilf running into the chamber, even has a brief "No, Wilf" that's too late, but he's dealing with the Time Lords. Then Gallifrey is gone, he's still there, and he has that brief moment of relief.....then 4 knocks reminding him of what he saw Wilf do, and he already knows that he's going to go into that chamber to save Wilf. Everything else is just exposition for Wilf's sake (and ours).
Not to mention he has been dealing with a crisis of his identity. He sees himself as a monster and at the time, unlike the doctor. It all culminated in his decision to save wilf. He proved to himself that he was the doctor, flaws and all. I think one of the reasons he was so afraid to die was the fact he would just become memories. And memories of timelord victorious was terrifying.
He goes through all the stages of grief in this scene
The only thing I don't get is he knows he can just regenerate right?
This is truly the moment when Ten realizes that he has to regenerate this time. There isn't any second chance, no cut off hand to siphon any remaining regeneration energy into, no meta-crisis Doctor to create. He is forced to realize that he has no split-second escape by someone else taking his place. This scene is also a wonderful example of David Tennant's extraordinary acting skills; you can see the grief and anger at himself when he know the only way Wilfred can live is if Ten takes his place.
He is the best actor (Tennant)
I agree. He didn't put in many years in his last two regenerations. At least with 1-4th he put in a couple centuries. As well as the 11th. He just wanted to live a little bit more in one body.
This and The Family of Blood are among some of my favorite 10-era episodes. I love when shows give a character some kind of excuse to be out-of-character, like in a typical body-swap episode, because it gives the actor a chance to really show their talent. The best actors are able to fluently play the role of a wide variety of characters, and in Family of Blood, David really sold what it was to be so much more human - even considering how human 10 was in comparison to other Doctors. The life of "John Smith" there is a perfect argument against people who think 10 was too human.
Ya know, he didnt just use meta crisis, he said that "He used the Regeneration energy to heal himself and found a place to keep the excess regeneration energy" And HE COULD HAVE
DONE IT AGAIN!!! IN THE CONSOLE!!! ON THE BIG GREEN ROTOR THING!!!
"Wilfred it's my honour". This broke my heart. Who agrees?
Same
Not me
😭😭😭😭😭😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭
to this day i tear up when he says that liine
You can definitely sympathize with the Doctor here. He's saved the planet countless times, bettered the lives of millions, and what does he get for it? He's hunted by everyone, hated and feared, forced to watch the people he loves die, or leave him, or lost. Everyone he can connect with fades away, while he dies over and over with no end to it.
but sometimes he gets moments that make up for all that like when river song saved the 11th doctor she said that millions and millions of people were ready to help the doctor its like she said "you have decided that the universe is better off without you, but the universe doesn't agree"
Not to mention Tennant's Doctor only lived for a few years, most of the others lived for a few hundred, hell the 12th even lived for billions even if it wasn't cumulative
That’s what I love about 12. His last big speech is about being kind and talks about dying without reward unlike 10. Now if that’s not character development then I don’t know what is.
@@gonkdroid5414 Agreed! I always feel like complaining about Ten's selfishness here misses how beautiful Twelve's "it's kind" speech is. He decides that it doesn't matter if he accomplishes anything, it just matters that he tried.
@@heatherrockwell9012 “Winning? Is that what you think it’s about? I’m not trying to win. I’m not doing this because I want to beat someone or because I hate someone or, or because I want to blame someone. I’m not doing it because it’s fun. God knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it’s right! Because it’s decent! And above all it’s kind. Just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. But if I stand and fight, some of them might live, maybe not many, maybe not for long. You know what? Maybe there’s no point to any of this, but it’s the best I can do, and I’m gonna do it and I’m going to stand here doing it until it kills me. You’re going to die too, some day. How will that be, have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand and where I stand...is where I fall. Stand with me. Please, these people are terrified. Maybe we can help, just a little. Why not, at the end, just be kind?”
Will always love that. I try to live my life like that honestly.
I absolutely adore the way that Tennant went out, just how quiet it is, no big stupid explosions but a conflict. He's right he could save so much people, do so much good but I LOVE how he says all of this and then realizes that he has to do this, he's not thinking straight any more and he's 'lived to long' and this is what he's all about - saving people.
Yes, this was great. It was emotional, but not melodramatic. He gave a speech, but it wasn't drawn out. Perfect about of emotion to make it so genuine and touching.
Nicholas Dobbie mate thank you so much you just showed me a really deep side to this scene that I have never picked up on and you've changed this scene forever it's brilliant!
Nick thank you for showing me and all of the other whovians that life of the doctor this doctor had so much more in his lives he had he potential to do more and I thank you for that I bet this Doctor will be proud of you
He loved killing people....
He said, "I could do so much more!", because he knew that at the end of his speech, he was going to go in that chamber to die. Because that's just what The Doctor does. His realization wasn't that he was going to die, it was that he *should* die. Life just felt a bit too painful, a bit too exhausting to keep on being a good man.
Rest in peace Mr Cribbins. The mark you left on this world is a wonderful legacy and you will be missed.
A true brilliant actor loved the wombles
In my opinion the existence of the war doctor and the fact that the tenth doctors regeneration in Journey's End did count, retroactively makes this moment even better. It means that the doctor secretly knows that this is the last time he can ever regenerate. Obviously the time lords ended up giving him new regenerations, but the doctor didn't know that the time lords were still out there at the time.
idawg42xlpwn Very good observation! One thing I noted was that, given that your statement is true, the Doctor thought "the Valeyard" was coming next in his cycle, as he was told the Valeyard would come between his 12th and final incarnations. I like to think his bottled up anger, his "Time Lord Victorious," all of it is his rage in fighting his dark side, and slowly losing. So when he finally says "I don't want to go," it's far less about his actual vanity, and a lot more about what he thinks he's about to become.
godless spartan and in came the timeless child
@@starballer.j1997 doesn’t change it though. From the Doctor’s perspective it’s still the “last” regeneration he believes that he has and even Moffat messed up that plot thread in Matt Smith’s Era in Series 7
I don't think the timelords are actually able to give another cycle. because if they could, we would hear many more stories about it. Their gift to "cheat death." isn't natural to their kind. They stole it and can only use it so many times. So How could they give him a second cycle?
@@bizzaroblake2519 They gave the master multiple cycles if i remember correctly
3:10 Him curled up in that fetal position just haunts me - he’s so old and wise, and he can act as tough as he wants but when it really comes down to it: he’s still just the little boy who stole a magic box and ran away and he’s scared and it hurts and he just wants to go home, wherever, or whoever, that is.
Loving how one of David's children is called Wilfred
Omg I'm gonna go cry now
I wonder why 😂
the funny thing is, if Wilfred hadn't gone in there, there would still have been another person trapped and the doctor would STILL have sacrificed himself... because that's who the doctor is
i always can't get why couldn't he just, like.. bring or build something remotely controlled which would go inside and press the button
@@c1oudsky lol, posted only a day ago... He wouldn't have time to build something remotely controlled. Since the tanks were at critical
@@Lynx21k I dont think that is what cloud meant... I think the question was more about why did there have to be a person in the glass box to begin with instead of something that could be remotely controlled or even a control box outside of the glass box to press instead
@@leejamesmccarthy some one to absorb the radiation so when opened the box wouldnt just flood the room or blast some one unsuspecting
@@Lynx21k I mean if we're being picky, the man has a time machine. He has nothing BUT time.
10's is the only regeneration that has really struck me with "Oh. This person is dying." - everyone else tends to brush it off to an extent, but not 10. It fits especially well when you realize that he was on his 12th regeneration, so from now on he would be mortal, and this regeneration only got to live for under a decade. 10's whole story, of the trials and tribulations of healing (he's more healed than 9, but relapses are still bound to happen), and the fragility of bonds...it's really quite tragic.
12 regeneration was gr8 11 was good too but I found it odd how he just quickly changed with out the whole arms out fire and tardis crashing stuff
@@nickm8810 Its mainly because he used up most of his regeneration energy blowing up the Dalek ship
@@baxtermortimer1550 I assumed it was because he was at peace with it and didn't try and fight regeneration this time
Smith's Doctor (11) claims to be 907 almost as soon as he has regenerated
We hear 10 say that he's 903 years old in voyage of the damned and 906 in the End of Time
My headcanon is anytime he regenerates, that becomes his "new birthday"
So if the Doctor was 906 years and 100 days old when 10 regenerated, he immediately called himself 907
If 9 lived past 901 (claimed to be 900, could have rounded it) then he called himself 902 as soon as he regenerated, and 10's adventures with Rose take a year, give or take, and he ages to 903 in time for voyage of the damned
907-902 is exactly 5 years, but I suspect it was 4 years "and some more"
A half decade, maybe short some months
And then Smith had:
907
"1200 and something, I think, unless I'm lying. That's how old I am I don't know if I'm lying about my age"
And
2000
2000 - 907 is 1093 years
11 was alive longer than his previous incarnations starting at whenever he started over (he was in the thousands in Old Who too, he likely restarted with the Time War)
I wish they'd bring Wilfred back in the new season. Just a subtle scene where he and the Doctor see one another across the street. The Doctor smiles slightly and salutes him, Wilf tears up a little but smiles knowing his friend is alive and well
Dustin Storer what, the Peter Capaldi Doctor? Wilfred wouldn't recognise him.
NortyLukey but he would realise the gesture. See who it is from. Like the brigadier, that single salute means everything
They missed a big chance to bring him in to the Capaldi era. He'd have been less a father figure this time and now a complete equal as the 10th viewed him. I really wanted him to meet the 12th :(
that's one thing, i hate how each new doctor severes all contact with the people in the previosu doctors life. the only exception being the 9th doctor after he regenerated into 10th doctor david tennant.
Oh, yes please! And if there could be a shot of Donna, maybe a line of her saying something friendly and quippy to the Doctor in his/her newest form, that would be brilliant!
David Tennant is bloody brilliant. I've got tears in my eyes, there's a knot in my throat, and I've got chills from this scene. He's bloody fantastic and if he doesn't get an Emmy nomination, I will hack the system and make David win.
Claire Keck You are aware that this episode aired almost 7 years ago, right?
Well, yeah, but still. He's great.
and to think that he was a small role nurse in casualty.... to one of the greatest performances in the BBC.
Such a pity what he is saying is pure garbage
Galactic yo yo Oh I’ve seen you before... it’s a great scene and great script.
It comes a few moments before this clip starts, but my favorite part is the Doctor waking up a bloody mess on the floor, and sobbing and laughing at the shock that he's still alive. He cheated death, escaped Rassilon, saved the Earth, he really did it, he beat the odds. He gets his happy ending and lives for much longer. There's a cheerful tune in the background while he goes through this emotional and uplifting scene, following by the 4 knocks from the prophecy coming from Wilf and INSTANTLY the music takes a twisted sickening turn as his face turns to stone. It's such an absolute punch in the gut. Very powerful.
Wilfred is a father figure to the doctor in my eyes. For the first time in probably hundreds of years the doctor feels safe to be completely vulnerable and just fall apart in his presence. Which I haven’t seen him do even in the most heartbreaking times. The doctor needed to have this breakdown to feel acceptance.
Dr: "I'd be proud"
Wilf:"Of what?"
Dr: "If you were my dad"
"Look at you, not remotely important." That must have broken wilfred's heart...
The way Wilfred started at that comment was a Masterclass in acting.
It broke my heart for him to do all that then get the doctors true wrath.
His true ability his true self..
The Doctor
@@titchdev not the Doctor, the man behind the Doctor
I always saw that line as him saying it a bit bitterly sarcastic, like every person sees themselves as unimportant while The Doctor sees EVERYONE as important. Like he saying, “Oh yeah, you’re not important; you’re just my friend!”
It really shows character growth when you hear 11 say "in over 900 yeara of space and time I've never met anyone who wasnt important"
The desperation in Wilfred's voice when he realizes what the Doctor plans to do just breaks my heart every time.
I like that when Wilfred first starts saying "No don't" his voice lacks conviction. He doesn't want to die. But as the reality of what the Doctor is doing hits him his voice gets more and more sure until we're convinced that Wilfred was truly prepared to sacrifice himself so the Doctor could live.
The fact that you can see his face go from anger to sadness to fear to acceptance after throwing everything off the table is so amazing and heart wrenching. You could see every emotion. Tennant really killed this scene, one of the best displays of emotion I have ever seen in a show
It’s so heartbreaking and raw 🥲… the acceptance is what really gets me 😭
6 years later and I still get the feels from this.... :'(
soulseeker 7 years later and I still get the feels from this...

10 ..
People criticize 10's era for making the Doctor too much of a "teenie bopper" pretty boy - mostly fans of the classic series who were used to much older, less emotional actors. People think 10 was too vain, too romantic and too human. Well to those people, I poop on, for they fail to realize that these qualities unique to 10 are what makes him such a remarkable character - even if moments like this could be thought of as "out of character" for what the Doctor's "permanent personality" is supposed to be. Personally, I feel that the notion of judging any incarnation of the Doctor is unfair and stupid because it amounts to nothing more than someone clinging to the personalities of the individual Doctors they love rather than appreciating what some of the different ones are like.
The Doctor - or all timelords really - only have very basic guidelines they have to live by to still be loyal to their name. The Doctor, as long as he uses that name, will always be our protagonist because one way or another he's always a hero, even when it doesn't seem like it, and even when he himself thinks he's not. David Tennant's Doctor was very unique for putting so much weight and care into his own generation and "life" rather than feeling content knowing that he could still regenerate, and I at least understand why some people think this is such a flaw in the writing. But to me, the surprisingly strong human emotions he goes through have much more depth than I think many realize. I feel a character like him had to be done at least once, for several reasons - and I even have a few theories as to why it makes sense as a form of progression for the character as a whole - the "meta" Doctor if you will.
In this generation (of viewers) we were introduced to Christopher Eccleston playing the role of 9, who ultimately was like a more rude and intellectual version of the 4th doctor. He was spectacular in his own right for feeling so ominous and mysterious, and alien. At the same time, 9 managed to show a great deal of emotion in his own, repressed way - especially in his guilt. He was still fun-loving however. Then we got 10, who was much more spirited, much more into the adventure. Because of how dark and mysterious 9 was, and because of how soon his era ended, 10 needed to be a young breath of fresh air - a character to be more appealing to a wide audience so viewers would feel more comfortable with the show. He was made to draw in new fans after 9 briefly satisfied old fans with a much more level-headed character. And to do that, they had to make him seem more human. David was a brilliant actor though, and with a few well written episodes, somehow the show still managed to make you really feel like the guy was hundreds of years old on the inside, despite such a young boy-band face.
10 also had other reasons for being so much more human though, much less shallow and more purposeful reasons. His drama imo was stronger than any era we've seen since because of how easy it is to put ourselves into his shoes. In this scene, you really can feel so much for him as he comes to terms with ending his current generation, and there was a LOT of foreshadowing that came before this as his sense of self-preservation kicked in. No one really wants to die, after all. And even if you do feel like you do, no one really knows what happens afterwards or what it feels like. What made this scene ever better was just a short, simple 3 minute long scene before at the diner where he explained what it feels like for him. "Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am just dies. Some new man just goes sauntering away, ...and I'm dead."
Even if you still think him caring so much about "dying" wasn't worth it considering how content the Doctor is usually supposed to feel, you could also look at it this way. 11 was technically supposed to be his last regeneration, and he knew this. He knew his days were coming to an end, or at least he believed so. He knew that his next regeneration was supposed to be his last. This in an abstract kind of way was a metaphor for the feelings of anxiety we feel when we reach the age of about 50 or so - the fear that there isn't much time left. 10 is reluctant to give himself up because that means facing his "11th" generation, which is essentially like facing "real" death to him - permanent death. He knew that eventually, he would have to go to Trenzalor.
Even 11, as content as he was, was reluctant to think about it. So here, he was so frustrated because to him at this very moment after surviving all the chaos here he came to a realization that it really was "all for nothing" or at least he felt that way, because he was basically going to die anyway. Surviving this episode just meant he'd prolong the inevitable. When it all really came down to it, being so actually close to what could have been his actual permanent death, after ALL of these years, this is where he vents his emotional frustration. The emotions he secretly bottles up inside while staying strong on the outside, the unavoidable instinct, the spite and the discouragement of his own fate; all of this is what we see in this little bit of the Doctor's "constant" inner-essence or character. You could think of the entirety of 10 as a single little thought or feeling inside the ominous timelord's semi-permanent existence just as we all have that little voice in our head that seems out of character for us - something we repress, intentionally or unintentionally. This is what happens when you repress something too long.
This deserves more likes...
Wow. You have described it so wonderful. and now I am lost for words.
Tubart I know!
that was beautiful man .....
👏👏👏👏👏👏
The true predicament of this scene is that no matter what choice he makes, the doctor dies. He saves Wilf, he dies of radiation. He leaves Wilf, the idea of the the Doctor dies and is replaced with the time lord victorious. In the end he realizes this and the time lord victorious decides to do the thing the doctor should always do. Save a life even at the cost of his own. This is just one of several messages to be pulled from this scene alone and that is why its so beautiful. Good job Tennant and Davies.
Wasn't the point of time Lord victorious the doctor being like "I'm the doctor I can save whoever I want even if it screws up the timeline" so really the time Lord victorious thing to do would to like time travel back in time to stop wilf from going in there or something
I mean, he could have grabbed a heavy book, opened the door, throw it in the air above the button and close it again 🤷♂️
It speaks volumes that the Doctor is raging about how unfair it is that he has to die, all from the safety outside the radiation chamber. Because the second he sees Wilf in there he knows the choice he will make. Bloody brilliant
Totally agreed. He's the best doctor, I cry every single time I see the Rose goodbye scene and this one. It's not fair, but he knew what he had to do. Beautifully written, tragic, but necessary.
In a moment that could be considered selfish for the Doctor it displays such heart and character. He's so afraid of changing and dying that he doesn't actually want to, he knows what will happen if he leaves Wilf in there and what will happen if he lets him out and yet....he still chooses to put Wilf before himself. Without Hope, Without Reward.
...After spewing a monologue about he's more important than Wilfred and how he doesn't want to change when any other Doctor would have just sucked it up and got it over with.
@@caleb7551 not true. 1 wouldn’t have just “sucked it up” and got it over with. 5 probably wouldn’t and 6 definitely wouldn’t have. Nor would the War Doctor. Tennant’s Doctor in context here is about to regenerate into his final incarnation and doesn’t want to and they explain why he doesn’t want to change in the episode.....and his speech is completely justified because it’s true lol.
@@TheFallofTheEleventh 1 did. Have you seen the regeneration scene? 5 did. I ask the same question again. 6 probably would have. We don't know though, because of Michael Grade and his stupidity. War did the same thing 1 did.
Canonically, yes 10 was in that situation. However, Moffat was the one who actually made the idea that 10 only had one regeneration left, canon. At the time that this was written, that wasn't the case.
His speech about he could do so much more could be applied to 9 as he lived for only about 1 year. But instead, 9 sucked it up and sacrificed himself for Rose.
@@caleb7551 yes I have, and 1 doesn’t. In the original episodes you are aware about what happens right? 1 spends an entire episode of the originals not really even around because, canonically 1 doesn’t want to change he’s holding it back. 5 only did it in Caves of Androzani, though he could’ve easily done nothing like when he let Adric die. 6 would’ve thought himself above that type of nonsense. 9 lived much longer than 1 year bro. I understand you’re talking within the reality of the actors but 9 actually lives for ages in the show’s EU.
@@TheFallofTheEleventh If you go back to the episode we’re adric dies, the controls got damaged by a cyberman, in that situation, it was impossible for the doctor to save adric, but he still tries, running around the console in vain trying to get the tardis to take off
He really didn't want people to die in his name. and he promised he woudnt let it happen, sacrificing himself to change to save his last friend
No matter how many more Doctors come and go or how brilliant they turn out to be 10 will always be "my doctor" this scene was so heart wrenching but acted perfectly #Allons-y

Everyone commenting "Oh it's actually his last regeneration" is missing the point. The Tenth doctor doesn't really believe in the whole regeneration thing. "Some new man goes sauntering away. And I'm dead." Which, fair. Entirely different personality and all that. What's important is that Ten believes that this is his death, and therefore it is.
There's also a final add on, this is the 12th Doctor, at his trial 6 incarnations before, he learned an amalgamation of his evils emerged in this period of his life.
He's stuck knowing the Valeyard could be emerging as well
I had just recovered from all the tears and lump in my throat. Then Wilf had to say "please, don't! Please."
one of the best doctor who scenes. Ever. The emotion is just layered on.
"So much more!"
Well, Ten, now you've got your chance.
And they say all the Tennant fangirls just like him for his looks.
Majority still do
I wasn't even a fan of his looks at first
This writing is brilliant, and the acting is beautiful. Tennant was incredible. And this scene... he's so passionate and angry, almost convincing us that he's some kind of entitled brat at one point... then he pulls it in, and walks toward Wilfred... as if there was ever any question? Never cowardly or cruel. The prophecy of the Doctor's death wasn't one of violent defeat, but of willing sacrifice to save a single man. Without question, the Doctor's duty of care is his greatest character trait. This was a masterpiece.
500,000 Rads taken in.... Chernobyl, the worst nuclear disaster of modern history was 1,600 Rads upon explosion of reactor 4.
So, 500,000 Rads, like ingesting the the radiation of the heart of 400,000 reactors. That's gotta hurt a bit. though its amazing he didnt melt or fall apart under all that radiation.
The doctor is not human, he is a time lord with a total different biological make up inside, human looking on the outside. This is the man who has two hearts, can regenerate, has a blood temperature different to humans ...
I guess it's because he's a time lord or something.
Yes, he is not human, he is a time lord.
He probably would if this was torchwood
Considering the fall he survived without much damage, I think they needed to show it'd be a hell of a lot of radiation for audiences to be convinced it would kill him.
What makes this so sad in addition to what everyone else says is that he says he lived way too long, but this regeneration of the doctor had the shortest life. He also had a lot of friends. But if he had the shortest life, that means that he spent almost every minute with his friends, unlike other doctors who age multiple years between episodes. This doctors friends also caused him the most heartache. Yet he spent all of his time with them.
What I love about this is you see that he has made up his mind in seconds to die for wilf and finally has a rant he deserves after all this time and still is the doctor till the end
This scene hits hard now. RIP Bernard Cribbins.
Not nearly as much as the scene at Donna's wedding.
I cannot wait for RTD to return so we finally get good stories like this again
Maybe a mix of RTD and Moffat.
Whilst RTD was good at characters, Moffat was better at Sci-fi element.
I think that's what missing from Doctor Who these days
comparing scenes like this from 10 to scenes from 13 really shows the writing diff
Yep ever since the ponds left I’ve not really enjoyed the show much.
i cried when this happened
Fagola Fap same
We all did.
I think one of the best parts about this scene that I don't see a lot of people talk about. It's the fact that Wilfred let's him vent without getting angry or upset. It's a really powerful moment.
The acting here, worth more than any Oscar or award anywhere. You just feel every emotion he radiates. Tennant somehow made a 900year old time traveling alien relatable. This scene has me in tears every time. 😢
Rest in peace Bernard, thank you for everything
Wilf is the best character to this day, don't argue.
He's fantastic.
I disagree. You’re wrong. I’m not saying this because I actually disagree I’m saying this because you said don’t argue so naturally I felt obligated to do this.
Unreal acting , definitely the greatest Doctor and actor to play The Doctor in my opinion.
Gah. This has so much more meaning when you realize he's only going to regenerate once more.
Steven Moffats honored the past so well.
Thank you RTD, thank you Moffat. This scene still gives me chills and makes me cry.
Yep, Moffat actually justified this moment after Russel just made the Doctor seem like an arrogant prick
Surely that takes meaning away
@@idrinkmilk282 Not at all. Since after this he has no more lives to spare, he becomes truly mortal.
And then Wilfred had a heart attack and died watching the Doctor in the booth lol
That FatKid The Doctor would prob use the regeneration energy to save him and die
The concept of dying is already pretty scary to most but knowing that you not only have to die but you have to actively make it happen is so well acted by Tennant. Bernard Cribbins too who willingly accepts death and would have done so for The Doctor to live is so well done by both. Even Wilf’s quickly leaving the chamber as a means of “I don’t want him to die but I don’t want his death to mean nothing either” is awesome.
Tennant's little whispered "Sure" when Wilfred first says he's sorry is criminally unnoticed in these comments.
Gosh dang it, Ten. You were the incarnation that got the most real weren’t you?
If anything, it’s really....... inTENse.
Scenes like this reaffirm one of the many reasons why David Tennant is my absolute favourite actor. Gut wrenching and absolutely heart felt. There was no better way to start 2010 than to be hit with a barrel of feels.
This proved to me that Tennant is the best actor
This scene is one of my favourites and makes me cry more than the later "I don't want to go scene" because this is the scene where he makes the choice to die. He knows he won't have any more regenerations after that and this is certian death, and this is his own anger at himself for still sacrificing himself
"Its my honor"
Still gets me to this day.
this is so much more heart wrenching when you come back and realise this was his last regeneration, he thought he was literally a face away from death, real death.
That heart-breaking expression on Wilfred's face as he stares at the curled up Doctor. Just that look of despair as he looks at this man he so admires, a friend, who he thinks he just killed.
God, Bernard Cribbins was a brilliant actor.
I always watch this when i write something emotional, because i want to get the feeling right. And it just breaks my heart every time!
Without reward, without hope. Because that's who the Doctor is, in the end.
He is a scientist, a professor, a hero, a time traveler, a friend, a grandfather, a healer, a caretaker, an advisor, an alien, a warrior, a lover, a philosopher.
But ultimately, he is just trying to do the right thing, no matter what.
Rip Bernard Cribbins, will always remember you 🙏
What gets me is like, they say that Ten was the Four of the new age of Doctor Who. And what's scary is both of their endings are strikingly similar. There's a rundown of all the friends and enemies in 4's ending, and for Ten, there's the friends but also the people who died.
Thank you for uploading. True David Tennant moment.
Still miss him, even several years on!
this is one of the scenes in Doctor Who that always manages to get me right in the feels every time.
Farcry223 yes! same
This scene hurts a little more after learning 10 is actually 11 and his next regeneration was going to be his last
This literally kills me even though this was many years ago. Who else likes the doctors spiky hair?
“But me… I can do so much more. SO! MUCH! MORE!” Breaks my heart every time
I remember watching this on broadcast date, at 10 years old had posters of doctor who and toys and everything. As soon as 10th doctor regenerated I cried all night and threw away all my merchandise
Wilfred may be an old man but he is talking to something that has lived centuries. And, even with living centuries he still wants more time.
This doctor only had 6 years, making him one of the shortest living doctors. He didn’t want to change at all since like he said “I can do so much more!”. He sacrificed a whole regeneration just so he can stay the same and Ignored the ood prophecy but it wasn’t enough. In the end, the doctor chose to save a man he cared for, despite not wanting to die and change. This incarnation of the doctor is just plain sad :(
5 years actually and one of which was spent as the Masters pet and his last 1 year spent traveling alone the other 3 spent actually proper Doctor companion adventuring
Remember when this scene had weight? How it was a guy who had lived countless lifetimes realizing his time was up and his next life was his last?
Cause clearly Chris Chibnall didn't.
Damn...I forgot how agonizing this scene it...amazing.
Anyone else notice how similar this is to the ending of Fallout 3? Radiation proof glass? Flooded with radiation? Having the choice to let someone else die or sacrifice yourself?
+lixerman99 - Games & Music spoiler arlert!
anything can be made similar but yet again f.o 3 has nothing to do with a scI fi program.
neil Taylor Still, it's not every day you get box's about to be flooded with radiation where there's radiation proof glass. Not like you can compare it to game of thrones
+lixerman99 - Games & Music true in the end it's just a reference like to each other
well technically in fallout the room was already filled with radiation, someone needs to go in though and activate project purity though before the entire machine explodes ruining your fathers work
the funniest thing about that was that before the post game dlc companions immune to radiation flat out refused
super mutant whos life you saved - sorry but this is your moment
robot that you legally own - you have to do this yourself
Let me be the first one to say it, we back baby
2:38 When you turn the shower on and the water's freezing cold for the first 10 seconds
Don't say that... It seems to be very painful
Stand outside the shower, it's what most people do
“I could do so much more! SO MUCH MORE!!! But this is what I get, my reward... BUT ITS NOT FAIR!!!” 🥺
This scene is so much more powerful now as this turned out to be the twelfth incarnation's choice. The final regeneration, after such a short time lived in this body.
I know 5 years one of which was spent was the Masters pet and 1 spent traveling all alone with no one to remember him, 2 regeneration's wasted on 2 completely avoidable deaths and the fact he was the darkest Doctor with the Timelord Victorious he didn't want to be remembered by that so saving Wilf was his way of reassuring he's the Doctor not the Timelord Victorious or the Valeyard and that he was a good person
Davids acting is so great. he goes through the 5 stages of grief on his own only to walk to his death.
This was one of the many scenes that actually made me cry
How is that I remember watching this episode on TV and I did it fine with out shedding a tear, and now watching this scene by itself I'm crying uncontrollably 😭😭😭 I miss the 10th Doctor
What I love about this is that Ten, even at his most selfish, still decides to do the right thing. This is the final moment that humbles him, starts him on the path to being Eleven.
This is what the 11th doctor meant when he said he had vanity issues
I showed my friend these two epsiodes explaining how emotional it makes you, and to this day, we both cry watching this scene. Im a dedicated Doctor Who fan, and he just gets told what i tell him, but its amazing to see how a scene from something you love can affect those that have never been a part of it.
Just compare this to the latest Doctor using her companions as literal warriors and putting them in harm's way.
My Doctor is dead.
let me guess! No one even remembers those scenarios, as if she did nothing wrong, while same people call 10th only emotional outbursts as being dark😒😒😒
this moment made me cry even more than the "i don't wanna go"
The emotional weight behind him saying “i could do so much more” is so heartbreaking 😭
oh Bernard, you were the best. Thank you for your time in Doctor Who. You were the very best
This scene shows the power of Tennant and Russell T
David Tennant, The Doctor who's best described as the hero sacrificing himself to save one person, fucking brilliant.
5th and 9th also sacrificed themselves for one person
People have a go at 10 for getting angry. But imagine spending 100s of years trying to do the right thing and saving people and all the universe gives back is loss, heartbreak and death everytime
Yep he was so alone near the end especially after what happened with Donna. You can see it in his last moments with rose as the last person he visits.
one detail you forgot, he didn't actually got to that 100s of years you're talking about. he didn't even lived long enough to be a decade old and literally never got a break
There's people who watched this and think Matt was a better Doctor... they crazy, it's all I sayin'
To be fair, as amazing as Tennant's performance was in this, both Smith and Tennant were marvellous Doctors, with Smith getting his own share of great performances (while it's far from my favourite ep, the speech in The Rings of Akhaten springs to mind). All of the Doctors have been great, in fact. Prefer Capaldi to both of them, myself, but they've all been amazing. (Even Colin Baker. That guy was MASSIVELY underrated.)
+James Aggas
Agree. And it's not fair to compare, considering David had a better showrunner to work with.
Esseban Well, to me, both showrunners seemed to have their highs and lows. RTD had great episodes, both written by himself and other writers, but his era definitely wasn't perfect. The Slitheen eps, Rose in series 2 arguably lacking a lot of the depth she had in 1, and having the cop-out regeneration in Journey's End weren't exactly the best decisions. Not that Moffat's perfect, particularly series 7 and 8, which seemed to lack a lot of focus, but we've still got great eps like A Good Man Goes to War, Day of the Doctor and Heaven Sent with his showrunning. I am looking forward to a new showrunner, though.
James Aggas
Yeah, Moffat did good stuff as well, but I never agreed with his 'big picture' decisions, like chosing Jenna Coleman as companion, and have the Doctor age so much between episodes.
Esseban Agreed on Clara's story, but I actually loved that the Doctor aged a lot between eps, just like in the classic series, like how Six stated how he was over 900 and Seven was 953 (never liked that RTD decided to ignore that and reset it to 900 with Nine. Made no sense to me, really). To me, the countless more stories and adventures we don't know about the Doctor are just as important as the ones we do watch.
Dr Who could've been so much more. Thanks Chinballs, you won.
This is why I love the 10th Doctor
The 10th doctor shows just how fragile he actually is, how much emotion he has pent up
The power of emotion in this series is heroic
"It's my honor.."
That anger and grief is so pure and visceral and burning with emotion. I _know_ that anger. I _know_ that grief. *IT'S NOT FAIR!*
You try to do everything good, everything right, and _that's_ your reward. To die ingloriously, just so save on poor old innocent bumbling man. But you'll do it, because that's who you are.
It cracks me up how the doctor has this whole dramatic speech and Wilfred just like "It's all good just leave me"
He displayed the stages of grief😢
He despaired in anguish... and then... acceptance... it's beautiful
What...an...actor!!!!!
This is why RTDs era was the best, the golden age of new WHO….I always said bring back RTD as the series declined upon his leaving….so happy he is in charge again.
"you were always this...waiting for me all this time..." still get chills from these words alone
Same honestly, feel like that line isn't mentioned as much but that hit me hard
