It is absolute canon that during the Time War, John Hurt was down there taking names, but Leela was cliffside commanding a garrison of soldiers ripping apart Daleks for weapons. I love it.
It's such a shame that they didn't manage to uave John Hurt on properly before his passing. I was so excited when he turned up so briefly as the War Doctor. Even just typing this hurts my heart.
The War Doctor meets Leela in the Big Finish audios!
@@fugazi32oh yeah, that story was...quite a doozy with how her memories went all fuzzy.
When Doctor Who returned in 2005 and when the Time War was first established, I thought Leela died in the Time War and perished along with the Time Lords and Gallifrey.
@@danielwilliamson6180...Nope and this "essentially"(wibley wobley timey whimey) canonizes the Big Finish audio series Gallifrey and the follow-up Time Wars series of which I highly recommend both. There really is no reason why Louise Jameson couldn't make an appearance on the main show. She is still active in television most recently that I'm aware of on Emmerdale.
And after all these years, she's still the Leela we all know and love. Kudos to Louise Jameson for flawlessly stepping back into character
Well she stepped back in it quite some years ago and even direct audio stories now.
Fortunately for us, she came back to play Leela roughly 20 years ago and really hasn't left it since. You should check out "The Fourth Doctor Adventures" and "Gallifrey", two Doctor Who spin-off series from Big Finish.
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Brava!
She's been back playing Leela for Big Finish for many years now. She great.
She's amazing. Sarah Jane will always have a place in my heart but Leela was just as awesome in a completely special and different way.
I am 100% accepting this as canon. Leela should definitely return in the future along with Romana.
I rather have this cannon then have the timeless children cannon
@@WesleyCuster-zw6lhyou can't pick and choose... all we can do is hope they do something meaningful in the future
I can't see Lalla Ward coming back.
@@KilamajaroKen she can regenerate.
Two Word Gallifrey and Big finish - in all seriously look up the the big Finish audio production company as they have done Leela in the time war
"I am Leela. Warrior of the Sevateem...and of Gallifrey!!"
Instantly choked up, Louise is gorgeous and brilliant, she's never left the role!
Same! 🥰🥰🥰
I'm in bed ill watching this, but I swear that brought years to my eyes. She's just awesome.
I cried at that bit! Still got tears in my eyes!
Phew!
Thank goodness you told us Louise is gorgeous.
I was sitting here and waiting for you to judge how she looks.
@@Argeaux2 English is probably your second language, or you grew up speaking one of the dialects, the "pigeon" English's like Indian English or American. That is why you don't understand that Gorgeous doesn't necessarily refer to ones appearance.
Louise Jameson’s reaction to hearing the Doctor’s name along with that music is pure chills
-Fantastic trailer
-Return of Leela
-Leela vs Daleks
-Great box art with the grey outfit, gold colour scheme and Jelly Babies. Just the way I imagined it.
-New special features
Can’t wait for this set.
Don't forget about K-9's actor doing the voiceover work for this trailer!
For those not completely aware of big finish, this is awesome on many levels
1: Leela was living on gallifrey for decades before big finish even began covering the gallifrey series and through that series we know she was there when the time war was officially declared so by now she's got decades if not centuries of experience
2: the ONLY reason she fights for gallifrey is to protect Romana, who was locked in a pocket dimension. The fact that she still stands with gallifrey up to it's final day means she technically outlasted both races in the war
3: despite being considered lesser in the eyes of gallifrey, she lasted long enough to be conferred respect befitting (possibly) a military rank
There are few characters, much less companions, who can claim to have outlasted the time lords and daleks in the time war, and she did so more or less by being a direct combatant and fighting to the end
Awesome exposition, thanks!
Yeah I can only think of Ashildr as having also pulled that off
You know its not real right?
So does that mean that Romana might have a chance to return? It’d definitely be interesting if she became aware of the Timeless Child after becoming Madame President.
@@TheHarrisontube I mean she’s a time lady, we have just a couple of canonical regenerations, I don’t see why she couldn’t at all.
Swear I almost cried watching this, I was there for her original adventures with the doctor and to see Leela still raging with the heart of a warrior, that’s awesome beyond all hope
Me too. She was one of my favorites growing up and I am so happy to see her kicking Dalek posterior with strength and grace.
Me too. This was awesome.
Oh brilliant!
@@kevinhoover5420Almost? I lost it at he declaration: "I am Leela, warrior of the Sevateem and Gallifrey!" Actual. Tears. The heroes of my childhood, still fighting against the darkness 'til the end.
Just finished watching and I am crying, Louise is still Leela after all these years, so brilliant 🥲
1000% fan service and I love it. It is so fun to see Leela again. The Rutan transformation looks fantastic!
It does look great. The Rutan host, the Sontaran's favourite guests for dinner. /s
Long running shows need to do a little fan service. Doctor Who has been doing it so well recently
Rutan
I _still_ want to see a story with both Rutans and Sontarans.
WOW! This is my favourite mini-episode yet. I adore anything Time War (when handled well), so seeing Leela on the final day of the war, still putting her trust in the Doctor, was really special. And it was so wonderfully executed! I'm so glad you were given the kind of budget to be able to pull this off. I can just imagine John Hurt and Louise Jameson is a scene together =D
If you want that may I recommend Big Finsh War Doctor range which has exactly that I think it is currently on BBC sounds.
It was beee-yu-ti-ful! She's as great as she ever was.
Yeah not gonna lie, always found it slightly odd they never mentioned Leela back when the time war was a thing, given her significance to Gallifrey and all
Some people argue it isn't cannon but the Big Finish range has Leela and the War Doctor back together. To hear Sir John say to Louise "Hello Savage" is just pure magic. If you are an old school Who fan, give them a try. They are brilliant quality. And faithful to the characters.
@@petermilne2470 That's awesome! Thank you very much for the recommendation. I knew of the Big Finish audios for the War Doctor, but I had no idea that Leela was involved - that's amazing! =D
I still get chills when I hear Tom's voice. He was and ALWAYS will be my doctor!
Tom is the franchise. As much as David is for the 21st century, the popular doctor It's Tom, who's the most recognized and memorable one.
Gosh, that low rumble when he talks now... so comforting!
Hear, hear.
He was my first doctor!
@@davidthedeaf mine as well.
This is brilliant! And it opens the door to SO many possibilities! Including Leela’s return 😍❤️ Louise is wonderful as ever ❤️
Indeed she is. And the new look for the Rutan is marvellous. 👍🏻
This minisode is superb and Louise Jamieson is marvellous here. Leela just *has* to return to the TV series ❤❤
You people say this every single time and it never does. It's honestly kinda annoying. Big Finish exists already
Leela never got an onscreen story with the Daleks but this makes up for it
That's so true. I wonder how that would have been. Oh well, we got a fair sample peek, and she didn't stand down or give in or even afraid.
Leela would quite naturally know how to kick some Dalek butt. She always had a most powerful gift when it came to fighting the worst evils in the Whoniverse.
I love the Big Finish story they did with the Daleks. They tried to torture Leela.
She just got increasingly angry 😂
The Doctor found her by following her bellows 👍
This is *absolutely* canon for me. Leela, facing down the Daleks without fear. Bloody magnificent ❤️
It certainly makes up for not seeing Leela battle the Daleks in the classic series.
Not having fear is one thing. Giving your enemy ample opportunity to shoot you because you're not done running your mouth is just plain stupid.
@@caulkins69 Dude, have you even seen Doctor Who before?
@@TheDemonCaine There's usually some degree of plot armor, but it doesn't have to be this blatant.
@@caulkins69 There's been far more blatant examples than this.
I actually welled up watching this. Leela has always been my favourite companion. She’s great in the Gallifrey audio series. Louise Jameson is a living Legend.
Likewise. Louise's gasp and line delivery of "He's here..." is just exquisite. That's when I started crying.
@@767wattsy Yep. Just seeing her onscreen again set me off. lol
It's amazing to see these old characters again isn't it.
@@remconet Certainly is 🙂
@@TotallyFknAliens ❤️
Holy moly, what an incredible trailer. Leela fighting Daleks in the ruins of Gallifrey while Murray Gold music tugs at the heartstrings was not on my bingo card.
The mini-episodes are getting longer and longer! Love them all!
And a million times better than the nightmare they are presently airing
yeah personaly i think they should have all the trailers on the last set to come out of the range
@@stevebishop9468please shut up
@@stevebishop9468 Grow up.
@@loonyboyx get bent
1:29
Wow.
Just two words, "The Doctor". Louise Jameson's reaction, the music, literal chills and tingles.
Astonishing that level of emotional resonance can be achieved in a trailer.
A trailer, for a boxset!
Stephen Fry once said that there is a special kind of enjoyment to be had from things that are so much better than they need to be. That speak to the sheer joy of creativity.
Everyone involved in this deserves some form of formal recognition.
Louise is still one of the most beautiful actresses ever. It’s always nice to see her reprise Leela. 💓
I love these trailers and how they're not just edited clips of the episodes on sale. It's seeing the characters after those adventures and how they fit into the revived series.
What a fitting tribute to Leela, building on her Big Finish stories!
There's something so unique to doctor who that even if I have never watched an episode with Leela, seeing her makes me emotional! I love this show and it's history so much!!
Call yourself a fan!
Same
She had such an interesting premise, and not one that’s seem anything similar repeated. Worth a watch!
Leela is one of my all time favourite companions. She was a massive departure from the norm and presented the Doctor with a lot of challenges to his attitude and world view.
There were many companions, but only one Leela and she stayed on Gallifrey and after seeing this, only one of her caliber was fit for this until she transported to the TARDIS.
The same here!
Poor Axton! Another casualty! That said, chills down spine, these promos are always magnificent mini movies. Preorder placed, naturally.
Pete McTighe was one of the better writers of the Chibnall era.
Glad he's still doing stuff in the doctor who world.
He also wrote two episodes of Tales of the TARDIS!
@@friendlyotaku9525 that's cool.
@@ianweech Have you heard about the new spin off that's in the works too? I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the writers for that, of course this part is just speculation but it is possible!
@@friendlyotaku9525 yeah, I've heard about it. It could be good.
I hope they also bring back Vinay Patel and Maxine Alderton, they were also fantastic.
@@ianweech I agree, I'd love to see more stories from them!
Oh Leela, always a joy. I'd love to see an extended episode or mini season of that brief scenario. Fabulous 👌 ❤❤
Finally we see the Daleks on the other end of an "Emergency Temporal Shift"
I love the trailers and the amount of effort they put into them these days, bringing back old companions and doctors.
Leela was always my favorite companion. A fearless warrior, a dedicated friend. The look in her eyes when the Time Lord says "the Doctor" was so special. The light in her eyes and the expression on her face gave me such a warm feeling.
I almost cried.
I tried the audio dramas whe I needed a break from S11's writing.
Leela quickly became one of my favorite companions. She is such a cool character.
+ I think Leela/Louise Jameson has also been writing or directing a few of the "time war" audio spinoffs. How cool is that?!
This pretty much confirms that Leela survived the Time War, which makes me very happy! I'd love to see her return in the main show, imagine her and Ncuti Gatwa together, that would be amazing!!
Well we do have a new character from the Christmas special who seems to know what a TARDIS is so it's quite possible that that's the reason for this being released now.
@@DEFGECD why would the doctor dump her on earth??? what about her own planet??
@@MephProductionWho knows, I assume he has/had some reason if this theory is true, I guess only they would know why.
I believe she just about survived the Time War, but died shortly afterwards
@AhStuttgart "he's killed the show" his first episode was watched by over 7 million so no!
Fantastic to see Louise Jameson playing Leela again! Also great to see Tom Baker has done a new interview for this as well! - Chris
Yeah, he’s looking really good.
This IS canon! I love Leela! She’s always been a badass!
I love the direction they're going with the Whoniverse already. Seeing the Fourth Doctor's opening titles in widescreen is a thrill, too!
We will see.
@@AhStuttgart Bro, the viewership for the recent specials is some of the highest the show's had since Moffat's run. The 2023 Christmas Special was the most watched thing watched on BBC that day. You can say that you dislike it, fine, but just in terms of viewership even, the show's doing better than it has in years. "Tiny minority" my ass.
This is getting more amazing with every trailer, proper high budget. Leela vs the Daleks, and Leela escaping the Time War! Fantastic
I’m legit tearing up seeing MY Doctor’s opening theme and dear Leela kicking Dalek tail. How I miss those days.
You know there are blurays of Tom Baker's era? You can see that opening theme anytime.
That was perfect. A wonderful return for Leela - and the Doctor is still there. Great to see a new interview with Tom Baker.
I am definitely considering THAT canon!!
Oooo I like this younger take on the Supreme Dalek. Considering he simply looks like a casual dalek here I take it he hasn't risen up that rank yet. Especially because he is out in the field rather than sending lackies to do so. Cool Concept
Murray Gold’s ‘Gallifrey’ (S4 Specials OST) and ‘The Doctor’s Theme Series 4’ is the icing on the cake!
and yet that theme tune blows Golds clean away.
Absolutely magnificent. I live for more Gallifreyan content and Leela standing up to defend her new home/friends is just perfect.
Oh this brought tears to my eyes. Been wanting a revisit to Leela's fate on Gallifrey for most of my damn life. I've also heard rumors of a Tom-era character reappearing at some point in the new series, and I've been hoping for either more Tegan or for Leela to finally show up in the show proper. Since these box set videos seem to be leaning on the side of canon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more Louise! (could be a new Romana as well, which would be fine too, as would a brief appearance of Benton).
Have you listened to Big Finish’s _Gallifrey_ series? Leela’s one of the main characters.
@@Cybermat47 nope. Is that one of the ones where Juliet Landau (aka Drusilla) is a new version of Romana? I haven't dug very deep into Big Finish, but what little I've heard has been mostly good.
It said name, not character. Could it be a name getting mentioned. Maybe someone is related to someone in the Four Era, or maybe it's like, a name mentioned in a song.
@@CubedSausagefromScarparius bleah. If it's just a namedrop, then that already happened: Adric and Sarah Jane. If that's it, that's lame.
More specifically I think the name is either Jinkx Monsoon’s character name, the name of a song they play, or one of their band members. They aren’t returning characters, but propably instead they’re descendant or a relative.
Might be a behind the scenes name though.
Honestly, this is the best Collection trailer yet. Not just having Leela on Gallifrey during the Time War, but also hearing some of Murray Gold's best scores from Series 4. So nostalgic! 🤩
Leela's exit from the show was, by all accounts, terrible. She fell in love with a man she shared a single scene with. But dear god, we could not have had a better, non-gallifreyan, companion to experience the Time War. If it weren't for the end of The Invasion of Time, we'd never have had the Gallifrey audio series, or her fantastic chemistry with Romana.
This is honestly, the best trailer yet.
This has already made my year.
Great to see Leela!
Growing up and seeing Leela run into the Tardis and have her first adventure with the creepy mechanical men in The Robots of Death.
Sarah Jane was a tough act to follow, but Leela took the companion up a level.
Well said.
These trailers going from silly skits to full on canon additions that allow beloved companions a last hurrah is beautiful to see. Can't wait!
THIS IS INSANELY GOOD WHAT?! - These shorts are getting better and better
This is awesome finally Leela in the Time War!
For a minisode the effort in the costumes, effects, writing and acting is brilliant.
Big Finish have had Leela in the time war for some time now.
😢This straight up brought tears to my eyes. I am Leela warrior of the Sevateem and Gallifrey. 😢
It is a real New Year present to see Leela again
Thank you BBC! This is what I wanted (Season 15 Blu-Ray with Louise Jameson doing the promo as Leela!!)
This was an absolute amazing performance from louise jameson & brilliant writing from Peter McTighe i am so excited for the Season 15 collection boxset
We need to see more of her in a mini series where we can get Pre Time War set up and with McGann as the Doctor getting us up to his regeneration to Hurts Doctor.
You just know Nick Briggs is writing up ideas for an old Leela with 4 boxset at this moment
It's stuff like this that makes me want a "Doctor Who: Legacy" series more than ever, loved it.
This trailer was BRILLIANT. Leela during the Time War was something I didn’t know I wanted to see, until now. I want MORE.
She could carry a series, she has the presence!
Let me point to Big Finish, where she is part of the Gallifrey Time War range and has to work with Sir Derek Jacobi’s War Master in one episode (aptly titled The Devil You Know).
You can in the Gallifrey audio series, if you don't know about it. They're on like S14 of it or something now.... Plenty of stories about Leela, Romana, and Narvin fighting the Daleks and even the Timelords.
Leela is one of the greatest companions ever she up there with Sarah Jane, Ace and Donna
I always did have a crush on ace
Greatest companions: Leela definable, Sara Jane without question, but Ace and Donna ??? greatest ??? You are stretching that a bit. Donna was scared of her own shadow. I would say Adric, Romanna1 and Romanna2 and Susan were better companions.
@@solomonkane6442 inappropriate.
@@mrgcav schoolboy crush so it's not inappropriate
Leela is one of my favorite classic Who companions. Cheers....
It's great to have Louise Jameson back on the show. Very fond memories of her in the Tom Baker era.
Same here. Leela and Sarah Jane were the first two companions I saw in Doctor Who when I was a kid and they were both wonderful.
Honestly whoever makes these short films deserves a raise. It could just be a trailer of 70s footage for the box sets but NAH! THEY GO ALL OUT AND GIVE US THESE GORGEOUS LIL FILMS!
Wow that was amazing and for a short little scene, it looks incredible. Always loved Leela in classic who and Louise Jameson still makes the character a bad ass.
This is the BEST kind of fan service. Beautifully put together and always a pleasure to see the wonderful Louise! BBC - please find a way to get the Doctor Who range back at retail in Australia!
Wow this is brilliant, the best one yet…..Leela is finally back & how good is Louise Jameson in this trailer!
YES!! These mini episode promo's are awesome, wish they could expand on them a bit more. Classic stuff
An amazing trailer, Loise is always so good in the role. Love the production values as well. Looking forward to adding this to the Collection.
I loved Leela. Smart, brave and yet kind.
What a return!!!
Can’t wait for more great Doctor Who content from this channel!!!
These new Doctor Who home video promos are always so impressive.
I met her at a convention in St. Louis, Missouri, long long ago. Her eyes are ice blue and beautiful to see in person.
This is inadvertedly a War Doctor story and I'm here for it
I love Louise Jameson in Emmerdale so when I found out she played leela in doctor who which I already loved and still love it makes me love her even more
I remember reading an interview with Louise in a Doctor Who magazine. She said, if I remember correctly, that she was so upset for not being asked back for The Five Doctors that she would only return if they made her the Doctor. I think that she would have been excellent.
I love this, brings me right back to the feelings I had watching mini episodes in 2013!
Absolutely fantastic as always. The quality of every aspect of this is phenomenal. Can't wait.
Leela never had a Dalek story on screen so this was overdue
I'm glad we finally get to see what Leela was up to during that Time War.
The music is perfectttttt
CrispyPro!
This season started a bit before my 4th birthday and I remember loving Doctor Who at that point, to go back and visit these episodes is brilliant
When Louise says she's Leela from the Sevateem tribe it gave me chills! Love this so much!
Due to a variety of reasons it was either going to be Season 15, 21 or 25 for the next collection and while I am a bit disappointed that we didn't get the 25th anniversary season to tie in with the 60th anniversary celebrations, Season 15 is still hugely underrated (although the less said about Underworld the better).
It looked like they updated the effects for Fang Rock in this trailer. Couldn’t tell with other episodes though.
Was there any footage from Underworld in this trailer? Seems like YANA in preferring it unmentioned.
Every single time i hear "This is Gallifrey" in what ever rendition i get chills.
Still got an amazing presence on screen Louise.
Give us a series of this I beg
Big Finish has already got you covered
To see Leela again- yay! I absolutely loved this! 👏🏻👏🏻
This is the best trailer. I’ve rewatched it several times.
So excited, every one of these boxsets have been utterly magnificent and a massive treat to fans. I can’t wait.
The minisode was like a scene from a movie. Holy crap.
Nice dalek colour schemes! Hope we see them in the show
Theory: Leela teleported on board of the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS while he was in Gallifrey's lower atmosphere working on his calculations to save Gallifrey.
"I am a warrior of the Sevateem and of Gallifrey!!" Leela's courage never faltered or wavered, not one iota.
The font! Lovely. Transported back to' 78. Pete M gets it right every time with these releases.
the doctors theme is great to hear again
I just love how they've been updating us with the fate of old companions like this.
As a side note, in another video, NuWho fans were debating the use of seasons vs series without realizing they were called "seasons" back in the day. lol
Some folks just like to gripe… and I fully agree with all you said.
In the UK we've always referred to "series". "Seasons" is an Americanism.
Doctor Who wasn't referred to in 'seasons' until the 80s. There are no original documents that even name 'season 22' or whatever from the time anyway. It's all been done retrospectively.
Before Leela whipped out the Dalek gun, I was thinking "gonna need some bigger Janis Thorns". :)
Also, I approve of the Time War Dalek casing with a silvery-grey finish. Is this the first time we've seen that depicted?
Spectacular music with This is Gallifrey.
Damn, this gave me goosebumps. Hope this will be part of the spin offs.
Great to see that Horror of Fang Rock is getting the updated effects. It is by far the best story of the season.
Yes a new season and a new short that for me are all CANON... and at least we know somewhere Leela is still alive having survived the Time War.
The wonderful noise she made after hearing about the doctor broke my heart! :)
These mini-sodes just keep getting better and better! ❤
This is the type of doctor who we need back. Felt like the Moffat days. It’s such a small scene, but it was absolutely brilliant.
We can only hope else the series is doomed.
Okay the HD widescreen tom baker intro is FANTASTIC!!!!
Yup! Uploaded it on my channel!
Such a great and unexpected treat for Leela to return! PLEASE let this be there be more to come with Leela!!!
