Dalek: "You will be exterminated." River: "Not yet. Your systems are still restoring which means your shield density is compromised.

Check your records again." Dalek: "Mercy." River: "Say it again." Dalek: "Mercy!" River: "One more time." Dalek: "Mercyyyyy!"
I had a strong suspicion of who River Song would turn out to be the moment it is mentioned Amy is pregnant, I was more or less convinced of it when the young girl starts to regenerate at the end of the first episode of season 6 (or was it the second), and it was confirmed to me with the prophecy "the only water in the forest is the river".
It blew my damn mind. I was slightly behind watching them, Matt Smith was already playing 11 so I knew 10 had to die but Wilf. Someone genuinely so pure. I had got a friend hooked too, and he was a few episodes behind me so I got to see his reaction seeing it for the 1st time. It was amazing.
I worked it out beforehand and that minute or so was just pensive dread. Everyone else was dead, the Doctor was marvelling at having survived the unsurvivable, but Wilf was still trapped. It was only a short wait until he knocked... but it felt like an eternity.

You can't convince me that the Twelve/Master/Missy conversation in _The Doctor Falls_ didn't contribute to his next regeneration being female.

I always got that wrong too, Gwyneth isn't an ancestor of Gwen. I had to look it up after rewatching her episode as its specified she's an orpban, no family whatsoever and as she dies so does her lineage. What the Doctor refers to is the rift remembering her face and over the generations of Gwen's family living near the rift that face got spat out again (that's terribly worded but hope you understand!)!
The only problem I have is that Christmas Carol was already written, and being "performed" by Dickens before he ever met Gwyneth. Other than that, Great Video!!
True, the episode actually ended on a bittersweet note, with the Doctor telling Rose that reason that Dickens didn't write a book about his experience in the episode because he would actually die a few months later.
Yeah, it was A Christmas Carol that Dickens was performing on stage at the start of the episode, and it's that one he first thinks the Doctor is thinking of in the coach.
"It was the first regeneration of the new era of doctor who and it remains... one of the most FANTASTIC." ... You just couldn't help yourself, could you?
They missed some other great choices for this list, too. Here’s just a few obvious ones, off the top of my head. -“Gretchen Alison Carlisle. Do something good and name it after me”. -Gretchen, Into the Dalek -“Clara, for what it’s worth, and it might not be worth much, but when your whole life flashes in front of you, you see people you love, and people missing you. I see no-one” -Psi, Time Heist (like Jack in Parting of the ways, he survives, but he’s absolutely sure he won’t and still stares the Teller down like a baller) -“Shh, Spoilers” -River Song, Forest of the Dead (As if I needed to give a reference for that epitaph!) -“Affirmative” -K9, School Reunion (I know, it was actually a self sacrifice, which should be a whole other list, but c’mon, you gotta include it!) -“I think sir, you know me at my best””Ready””Content” -Octavian, Flesh and Stone -“Did I ever tell you about this boy I met there, who pretended to be in a band? -Amy Pond [+36yrs], The Girl Who Waited -“Oh, you know nothing of any human, and that will be your downfall” -Harriett Jones (former Prime Minister), The Stolen Earth I actually wouldn’t have included either Doctors deaths, as they do come back in a fashion and know this, but I can live with it and remember Tennent’s description of the regeneration cycle. I definitely wouldn’t have added Donna, as I don’t think she knew she was dead, she just knew she may die, and, what do you know? She survived.
Not technically a death scene but the when Donna realizes that her memories will be wiped and she will go back to being the person she was before her time with the Dr. is the most heart wrenching, "death".
No, Dickens had already written “A Christmas Carol” long before the events in “The Unquiet Dead”! He’s actually sick of performing it in the episode. He IS working on “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. He tells the Doctor and Rose that he is going to include ghosts in the conclusion of the story. Except, Dickens never finished that novel, he was still working on it when he died.
I would've put the ship crashing cliffhanger to Caves Of Androzani in this list in which 5 declares he knows he is going to die and so there really isn't much point in stopping him/piloting the ship carefully because literally nothing can, he has nothing to lose and will do anything to save Peri. Also Adric's death is a classic
I always thought the Peter Davisons sacrifice for Peri was the most noble sacrifice. He knew he could save Peri with the antidote, but at last moment he lost his own chance to save himself. Probably one of my favorite all time episodes.
That's just 10. None of the other Doctors ever respond to regeneration that way. And 10 was written as specifically having a different, unusually strong reaction to regeneration.
Honestly I wasn’t big on 12 and I preferred his Character on Skins which Ironically was just a TVMA version of 12 now that I think about it 🤔 but IdK I was probably just more used to the over the top quirky, fun loving doctor than the “cranky old man” though I really liked John Hurt in “Day of The Doctor”
General Stal of the 4th Sontaran fleet, Stal the Undefeated, when the boy genius switches places with the Doctor. It was the epitome of an "oh shit!" face.
I was considering why Rattigan wasn’t included and realised his death belongs in a “Self sacrifice” list. I hadn’t even considered General Stal for this list. Excellent catch there!

I, too, loved Clara with 12. I think she challenged and deepened the 12th doctor in a way that allowed Capaldi to show his more serious abilities as an actor. Hell Bent was my first modern Who episode, and even knowing very little about the series at the time--I had caught a few episodes of DW years ago with the 4th doctor but wasn't very into it--I was hooked! I had to know more, and have since gone down the rabbit hole! I loved the strong women of the modern era, and Clara was one of the strongest.

@@MrDarkwing78 I do know that - but I'm a bit fed up of modern Doctor Who. I'll always go back to the old ones - having watched it since 1968 will do that - don't get me wrong, a lot of the new ones are great, but a lot don't seem to have that spirit of adventure, the 'I wonder how far we can go with this; how dark can we go?' ethos of the 1960's and 1970's stories.

I think Clara's death was one of the most shocking, I remember watching that episode being aware it was Clara's last series but going "I didn't realise that meant they'd kill her off with still a few episodes to go!" I'd kind of assumed she was safe till the finale!
The most brilliant moment from The End of Time Part 2 is that when Wilf knocks, he knocks 16 times... four groups of four knocks. I count them every time I watch the episode.
I cry at tennant's regeneration every time :'( his speech was so moving and u could really feel his pain through david's acting. Same applies for clara's death like wow

No. You have Tenant at the bottom of that list? He should have been in there twice. I’m still haunted by his final line especially since that was actually Tenant realizing his time was at an end as well and not behind sure he had made the right decision. I think the most harrowing “death” in the Whoniverse was Jack being buried in cement. And every time Tenant had to say “Her name was Rose.” I’m tearing up just thinking about these. 😆
I think an interesting one is in the episode Let's Kill Hitler from series 6B, where after River kisses him with poisonous lipstick, the Doctor knows that he's going to die in half an hour. Instead of freaking out or giving up, he decides to dress in a fancy outfit and continue being himself for the last half hour of his life. His insistence on not having a bleak outlook coupled with his dismissive acceptance of his impending doom make it a fun episode.
Doctor who is very intense yet funny and I think David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston showed that best in their acting as the doctor and also those two had the best main companions in my opinion (Martha, Donna, Rose)
The first one that comes to mind is Iain Glen as Father Octavian in "Flesh and Stone" with a Weeping Angel's hand wrapped around his neck, telling Eleven to leave him and to not trust River.
The one issue 99.9999999999% of stories with time travel has is that they can never stick to their own rules. It's not the first time touching one's past/future self was in an episode.
there are many multi doctor stories, but THIS one had two incarnations of the SAME doctor and Rose in the same place, the only other exception was big bang when the universe was ending anyway. And if you watched the multi doctor stories in EVERY instance THEY were not responsible for them meeting
2 of my favorites were both Amy. The one where they were in the dream but she crashed the van because Rory had died and the other where she gave herself up to the weeping angel to be with Rory
Thank you for saying that Clara was better with the 12th Doctor!! Been saying her acting got a real chance to shine with him rather than the one dimensional, big-eyed, crush with the 11th! Clara was to the 11th as Martha was to the 10th.
I'm far from the first to say this, but in series 7 Moffat *really* seemed to think of Clara as a mystery plot first and a character second, if at all. It's a shame because Jenna *kills it* with good material.

Catherine Tate absolutely dominates every moment she's on screen in her season. There was so much development she had left and to see her character go from vain and shallow to a thoroughly decent woman by Journeys End and to have it stolen from her. The doctor took all that from her and it was easily the saddest moment of that season and a fate worse than death, and her acting in that scene shows it thoroughly.
I've personally never viewed the Pompeii episode with the perspective that Donna thought she was going to die in that moment, though it is an interesting one. I've always seen it more of her realizing the gravity of the situation, that the Doctor is technically the reason Pompeii was destroyed, and her deciding that she will not let him take on that weight by himself, thus introducing us to her selfless nature.
Another good one is from the 11th Doctor's "Dinosaurs in Space" episode. The look on Solomon's face as he watches the missles flying right at his ship.... perfect karma.
You forgot about Astrid peth It’s in the Christmas episode voyage of the Damned, she knows that unless she does what she does, there is no way the doctor is going to survive, and he hast to survive, which makes her more than just companion material. It shows why the doctor himself is so heartbroken when she dies when he cannot save her and he really tries. If you watch the episode and you see the look on her face it says everything. Ironically, the character is played by Kylie Minogue and she plays her brilliantly.
David’s farewell? Donna’s goodbye? Amy and the angels? River? You left out some of the best! I’ll give you Donna, since she didn’t technically die. But a better version of herself had to say goodbye. Everyone else not being included is a tragedy.
Late to the party, but it's only just popped up for me. Whilst the episode wasn't one of the more memorable, Rita's Death in "The God Complex" should have made this list. Easily one of the more impactful that fall into this criteria

It's still hard to watch "Face the Raven". Her cameo in "Heaven Sent" was excellent, saying so much with so little. I just love Jenna Coleman; she died three times on the show, and better each time. But some others were not included: Kylie Minogue did well and died spectacularly. Alex Kingston's River Song died well in the library, as the Doctor was just a little late in saving her. And Harriet (yes, we know who you were) Jones perished for Queen and country as well. And John Barrowman, well, he's just just a glutton for punishment as Captain Jack.
I'm not sure how the third Doctor returning to the Great One's cavern in 'Planet of Spiders' doesn't feature here. It was the whole point of his regeneration, that he had to face his fear and that to go back would mean certain death. Could also mention the fifth Doctor in 'Caves of Androzani'.
@@morgaaaaaa still, the original comment was accurate! Plus, this list wasn't what I'd hoped for, either... where's Amy, when she turned away from the Weeping Angel to be with her husband? Where's River Song, who made sure Ten couldn't save her, so they would have their future (her past)? Either would have been vastly better than the Adipose's nanny! 🙄
@@MaryAnnNytowl Wrong episode for Amy. She doesn’t die at that point and wasn’t expecting to. This was simply a goodbye, if forever. A better choice would be Amy+36yrs in The Girl Who Waited (“Did I ever tell you about a boy I met there who pretended to be in a band?”) Spot on with River, though
i don't disagree with either of you :) i would've liked to have seen the captain of the waters of mars saying a stern goodbye to The Timelord Victorious before 'rewriting history', but i don't know if that fit the criteria of this video. there's just too many dying people in DW !! xD

Father Octavian? He may have only been in one story but he knew he was screwed, told the Doctor and Amy to move along instead of futilely trying to save him, and held off the Angel that grabbed him as long as he could.
Alternate Donna in Turn Left, Harriet Jones in The Stolen Planet, River Song in the Library, Rory almost every episode, Older Amy The Girl Who Waited, Bishop Octavian in The Time of Angels anyone?
I think Hartman's death is underrated. Yes, she was a bit of a pain as a character (great acting, btw), and her overblown patriotism seemed to be too much. But then she walks to her conversion with dignity, repeating that phrase, and then still saying it _as a Cyberman,_ she saves human (and a loose Gallifreyan's 😅 11:20 ) lives. She overcame the programming of the Cybermen! She should have been given the Victoria Cross for that IMHO. She put her fellow citizens - and by assisting them, by definition the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family - above herself. Having looked at her hard as she is being taken to be converted, I am convinced she kept repeating that phrase because she had the idea to work against them from the inside, if you'll pardon my word choice, and thought it might help her remember it. Just how I feel about it, that's all.
What about adric? Not only was his death completely unexpected and a "oh s*it" moment, his final line is the dictionary definition of "I'm dead and I know it"
Eccleston's Doctor had to lay the ground rules of what it meant to be a Time Lord for the new viewers AND reassure the classic Who fans that the series was back. It honestly doesn't matter what happened behind the scenes for the parting of ways for the BBC and Eccleston. The first series of the current Doctor Who ended in the only way it could; by showing the last rule of being a Time Lord...regeneration.
@@irrevenant3 I would like to think so. But I honestly don't think it would have worked for another season. I think without the information on regeneration at the end of that first season they would have lost all of the young people they wanted to capture with New Who on top of trying to make us older Whovians happy. I mean, we know regeneration is going to happen at some point. But the new generation? Given how popcorn instant gratification centric the world was becoming at the time they would have abandoned the show if it happened at the end of any other season.
"...and it remains one of the most fantastic." Was the reference intentional? "I just want to tell you, you were fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! And you know what? So was I!"
The more you think about it, the worse deal Billy got. Once they knew they had to get a message to a particular person (Sally Sparrow) at a particular time, there were *tons* of ways to ensure she got it. For example, I'm sure UNIT would have been more than happy to deliver a specific message at a specific time for the Doctor. Then, once resolved, Billy could've come back with Martha and Tennant in the TARDIS. But no, Billy has to live through the entire thing the long way round just to drop off a message. WTF, Ten.
Is there going to be a classic series version of this? A few more Doctor regens to use, particularly the 3rd and 5th Doctors, and plenty more self-sacrificing. Kane from Dragonfire is another one that sticks in the mind.
How about Astrid played by Kylie Minogue in Voyage of the damned.. That look she gives the Doctor before stepping on the accelerator of the forklift that shoves both herself and Max into the ships drive reactor
It is a CRIME that Capaldi's moment of acceptance that he will have to stand and fend off the cyberman army while the Mondasian refugees in the doctor falls is not here.
What about River Song? She hooked herself up in the Library, knowing she would die (and knowing that the Doctor had always known how and when she would die).
I was shocked that River Song's death wasn't on the list. I would give her 1st place.

"Oh, that’s not a very good nickname. What if you do get defeated? Staal the Not-Quite-So-Undefeated Anymore But Nevermind.” 😂😂
I think the boy genius did it better, personally.
I was considering why Rattigan wasn’t included and realised his death belongs in a “Self sacrifice” list. I hadn’t even considered General Stal for this list. Excellent catch there!
I think that it was the 10th fleet

Clara was the best companion, and I actually cried when she died
Same. I sobbed. She had the kind of relationship with 12 that Donna had with 10 and it was perfect.
I, too, loved Clara with 12. I think she challenged and deepened the 12th doctor in a way that allowed Capaldi to show his more serious abilities as an actor. Hell Bent was my first modern Who episode, and even knowing very little about the series at the time--I had caught a few episodes of DW years ago with the 4th doctor but wasn't very into it--I was hooked! I had to know more, and have since gone down the rabbit hole! I loved the strong women of the modern era, and Clara was one of the strongest.

Toberman, from 'Tomb Of The Cybermen', electrocuted as he seals the doors of the tombs, sealing the Cybermen inside. He knows he'll die, but he does it anyway.
Ingiger, or 'The Ancient One', seals herself in with Sorin/Fenric, and then floods the chamber with nerve gas, killing them both, to stop the future changing for the worse.
Nice, but once again, that’s classic, not modern Doctor Who, and the intro specified modern Who ie. post 8
@@MrDarkwing78 I do know that - but I'm a bit fed up of modern Doctor Who. I'll always go back to the old ones - having watched it since 1968 will do that - don't get me wrong, a lot of the new ones are great, but a lot don't seem to have that spirit of adventure, the 'I wonder how far we can go with this; how dark can we go?' ethos of the 1960's and 1970's stories.
One that doesn’t really count, but I want to mention it because it gets me EVERY time: Idris saying “hello” to Eleven :’(
donna noble and doctor signaling to each other with that room between them is THE best conversation throughout the history of time
Much love to Ten(nant), but I would have loved to see what else Eccleston's Nine could have done. He was fantastic.

Father's Day breaks my heart every time 💔💔😭😭
I think Clara's death was one of the most shocking, I remember watching that episode being aware it was Clara's last series but going "I didn't realise that meant they'd kill her off with still a few episodes to go!" I'd kind of assumed she was safe till the finale!
The most brilliant moment from The End of Time Part 2 is that when Wilf knocks, he knocks 16 times... four groups of four knocks. I count them every time I watch the episode.
Adric, never knowing if his was right!
The list was from new who only.
@@krisgonynor689 then why not River Song?? She was from New Who, and KNEW she was dying to save the Doctor!
Great video, could you do a 2nd part about this covering the classic era, please
Father's day was actually the first episode I ever saw followed by the one with the cat nurses I forget the name of with 10
After that I was hooked
Father's day was my first episode too!
The cat nurses. Episode title: New Earth. I'm not surprised you forget it's name, it's not exactly flashy or memorable.
"Please" Donna Noble, Turn Left.
I cry at tennant's regeneration every time :'( his speech was so moving and u could really feel his pain through david's acting. Same applies for clara's death like wow
Matt Smith's speech about remembering who you are and how you change throughout your life always gets me... especially the line: I'll always remember when the doctor was me

No River Song in the library?
I love doctor who, as an American. My last name is also Ferrick and it's so incredibly rare here, I've never met another Ferrick, not directly related to me. I get a little excited when Sean does a video.
Wilf didn’t just knock on the glass 4 times… he did 4 lots of 4 knocks, just to rub that extra bit of salt in the wound
😂😂
Donna in Turn Left.
I both love and hate these moments
Clara's death is STILL to soon. 😣
Yeaahhhh “death”.
What about when doctor uploaded river in the great library?
@@InnerEagle we had the fortune of her timeline being out of order, but like you said she got uploaded. Clara was killed pretty gruesomely by that time raven.
@@seanjenkins2188 and then 12 brought her back, to wander the universe with Me (Ashilda) for who-knows how long. (Pun intended).

I think you nailed again Mr. Ferrick.. well, you and your team...lol I always enjoy YOU'RE videos the most... I think its because of the way you deliver it.. You truly are a fan!!
No. You have Tenant at the bottom of that list? He should have been in there twice. I’m still haunted by his final line especially since that was actually Tenant realizing his time was at an end as well and not behind sure he had made the right decision.
I think the most harrowing “death” in the Whoniverse was Jack being buried in cement. And every time Tenant had to say “Her name was Rose.” I’m tearing up just thinking about these. 😆
Uh... Dickens had already written "A Christmas Carol" before the events in The Unquiet Dead.
um actually dickens had already written "a Christmas Carol" before the events in the unquiet dead (nerd point stolen)
I think an interesting one is in the episode Let's Kill Hitler from series 6B, where after River kisses him with poisonous lipstick, the Doctor knows that he's going to die in half an hour. Instead of freaking out or giving up, he decides to dress in a fancy outfit and continue being himself for the last half hour of his life. His insistence on not having a bleak outlook coupled with his dismissive acceptance of his impending doom make it a fun episode.
Doctor who is very intense yet funny and I think David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston showed that best in their acting as the doctor and also those two had the best main companions in my opinion (Martha, Donna, Rose)
The first one that comes to mind is Iain Glen as Father Octavian in "Flesh and Stone" with a Weeping Angel's hand wrapped around his neck, telling Eleven to leave him and to not trust River.
You think the Reapers knew they were dead and were never coming back? Several temporal paradoxes since yet no Reapers.
The one issue 99.9999999999% of stories with time travel has is that they can never stick to their own rules. It's not the first time touching one's past/future self was in an episode.
there are many multi doctor stories, but THIS one had two incarnations of the SAME doctor and Rose in the same place, the only other exception was big bang when the universe was ending anyway. And if you watched the multi doctor stories in EVERY instance THEY were not responsible for them meeting
Harriet Jones in the Stolen Earth... anyone?
“Although I wouldn’t take back a moment of David Tennant” made me chuckle
2 of my favorites were both Amy. The one where they were in the dream but she crashed the van because Rory had died and the other where she gave herself up to the weeping angel to be with Rory
This was great. You litterly had me in tears.😭
Amazing video
Harriet Jones: Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.
Dales : We know who you are.
Thank you for saying that Clara was better with the 12th Doctor!! Been saying her acting got a real chance to shine with him rather than the one dimensional, big-eyed, crush with the 11th! Clara was to the 11th as Martha was to the 10th.
I'm far from the first to say this, but in series 7 Moffat *really* seemed to think of Clara as a mystery plot first and a character second, if at all. It's a shame because Jenna *kills it* with good material.

Catherine Tate absolutely dominates every moment she's on screen in her season. There was so much development she had left and to see her character go from vain and shallow to a thoroughly decent woman by Journeys End and to have it stolen from her. The doctor took all that from her and it was easily the saddest moment of that season and a fate worse than death, and her acting in that scene shows it thoroughly.
Yeah when she offhandedly says 'yeah ok' to the Doctor when he leaves is gutwrenching
Clara's fate was actually greatly postpone, since it was mentioned that her end still had to happen.
I've personally never viewed the Pompeii episode with the perspective that Donna thought she was going to die in that moment, though it is an interesting one. I've always seen it more of her realizing the gravity of the situation, that the Doctor is technically the reason Pompeii was destroyed, and her deciding that she will not let him take on that weight by himself, thus introducing us to her selfless nature.
Another good one is from the 11th Doctor's "Dinosaurs in Space" episode. The look on Solomon's face as he watches the missles flying right at his ship.... perfect karma.
I was expecting the 11th Doctor to come onto your list from the impossible astronaut
You forgot about Astrid peth It’s in the Christmas episode voyage of the Damned, she knows that unless she does what she does, there is no way the doctor is going to survive, and he hast to survive, which makes her more than just companion material. It shows why the doctor himself is so heartbroken when she dies when he cannot save her and he really tries. If you watch the episode and you see the look on her face it says everything.
Ironically, the character is played by Kylie Minogue and she plays her brilliantly.
The Reapers from _Father's Day_ are super underrated, but I don't want to see them return. I don't want them to get worn out like the Weeping Angels.
Donna Nobel: That's like meeting Charles Dickens with Ghosts on Christmas!
love all the doctors companions
David’s farewell? Donna’s goodbye? Amy and the angels? River? You left out some of the best! I’ll give you Donna, since she didn’t technically die. But a better version of herself had to say goodbye. Everyone else not being included is a tragedy.
Late to the party, but it's only just popped up for me.
Whilst the episode wasn't one of the more memorable, Rita's Death in "The God Complex" should have made this list. Easily one of the more impactful that fall into this criteria

This extraction beam power off is from the school of Wile E. Coyote.
It's still hard to watch "Face the Raven". Her cameo in "Heaven Sent" was excellent, saying so much with so little. I just love Jenna Coleman; she died three times on the show, and better each time. But some others were not included: Kylie Minogue did well and died spectacularly. Alex Kingston's River Song died well in the library, as the Doctor was just a little late in saving her. And Harriet (yes, we know who you were) Jones perished for Queen and country as well. And John Barrowman, well, he's just just a glutton for punishment as Captain Jack.
I'm not sure how the third Doctor returning to the Great One's cavern in 'Planet of Spiders' doesn't feature here. It was the whole point of his regeneration, that he had to face his fear and that to go back would mean certain death. Could also mention the fifth Doctor in 'Caves of Androzani'.
at the beginning of this video the narrator says that all of these are out of modern doctor who (9th doctor onwards)
@@morgaaaaaa still, the original comment was accurate! Plus, this list wasn't what I'd hoped for, either... where's Amy, when she turned away from the Weeping Angel to be with her husband? Where's River Song, who made sure Ten couldn't save her, so they would have their future (her past)? Either would have been vastly better than the Adipose's nanny! 🙄
@@MaryAnnNytowl Wrong episode for Amy. She doesn’t die at that point and wasn’t expecting to. This was simply a goodbye, if forever. A better choice would be Amy+36yrs in The Girl Who Waited (“Did I ever tell you about a boy I met there who pretended to be in a band?”)
Spot on with River, though
i don't disagree with either of you :) i would've liked to have seen the captain of the waters of mars saying a stern goodbye to The Timelord Victorious before 'rewriting history', but i don't know if that fit the criteria of this video. there's just too many dying people in DW !! xD
Jack’s whole life becomes ‘I’m dead constantly and I know it’

The title of this video first brought to mind the death of Astrid in Voyage of the Damned.
Father Octavian? He may have only been in one story but he knew he was screwed, told the Doctor and Amy to move along instead of futilely trying to save him, and held off the Angel that grabbed him as long as he could.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Hey can you guys add some stuff from the sarah Jane adventures and torchwood since they are the same universe as doctor who? If not it’s good lol
some videos do include Torchwood/SJA where relevant, like 10 Darkest Doctor Who Timelines. I hope they will be included more in future :-)
Alternate Donna in Turn Left, Harriet Jones in The Stolen Planet, River Song in the Library, Rory almost every episode, Older Amy The Girl Who Waited, Bishop Octavian in The Time of Angels anyone?
LOL very true about Rory
This episode perfectly reminded me how good 9’s era was.
I think Hartman's death is underrated. Yes, she was a bit of a pain as a character (great acting, btw), and her overblown patriotism seemed to be too much. But then she walks to her conversion with dignity, repeating that phrase, and then still saying it _as a Cyberman,_ she saves human (and a loose Gallifreyan's 😅 11:20 ) lives.
She overcame the programming of the Cybermen! She should have been given the Victoria Cross for that IMHO. She put her fellow citizens - and by assisting them, by definition the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family - above herself. Having looked at her hard as she is being taken to be converted, I am convinced she kept repeating that phrase because she had the idea to work against them from the inside, if you'll pardon my word choice, and thought it might help her remember it.
Just how I feel about it, that's all.
You are fantastic... and you know what? So I am 😃
_Intentional changes_
How did you miss Donna Noble in turn left?!?! That is the greatest, I'm dead and I know it scene in the revival of DW!!!
What about adric? Not only was his death completely unexpected and a "oh s*it" moment, his final line is the dictionary definition of "I'm dead and I know it"
Where is John Smith in Family of Blood??
Eccleston's Doctor had to lay the ground rules of what it meant to be a Time Lord for the new viewers AND reassure the classic Who fans that the series was back. It honestly doesn't matter what happened behind the scenes for the parting of ways for the BBC and Eccleston. The first series of the current Doctor Who ended in the only way it could; by showing the last rule of being a Time Lord...regeneration.
I'm pretty sure they could've squeezed in another season before showing that rule without any harm being done.
@@irrevenant3 I would like to think so. But I honestly don't think it would have worked for another season. I think without the information on regeneration at the end of that first season they would have lost all of the young people they wanted to capture with New Who on top of trying to make us older Whovians happy.
I mean, we know regeneration is going to happen at some point. But the new generation? Given how popcorn instant gratification centric the world was becoming at the time they would have abandoned the show if it happened at the end of any other season.
*ACTUAL Number 1:*
_The Doctor dying trillions of times in Heaven Sent_
Not having Father Octavian on this list is a disgrace - it’s the best “I’m dead and I know it” moment in TV, never mind just Doctor Who.
"...and it remains one of the most fantastic." Was the reference intentional?
"I just want to tell you, you were fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! And you know what? So was I!"
I still cry just remembering Blink
I think it is important to note that Even Myles was also introduced as Gwyneth, to return in Torchwood. :)
Great list
The reapers are the TVA 😛
And loki was defabricated like captain jack in bad wolf!
Waters of Mars. Figure it out.
"If you think we missed anything..."
Um, the entire classic series?
The more you think about it, the worse deal Billy got. Once they knew they had to get a message to a particular person (Sally Sparrow) at a particular time, there were *tons* of ways to ensure she got it. For example, I'm sure UNIT would have been more than happy to deliver a specific message at a specific time for the Doctor. Then, once resolved, Billy could've come back with Martha and Tennant in the TARDIS.
But no, Billy has to live through the entire thing the long way round just to drop off a message. WTF, Ten.
Is there going to be a classic series version of this?
A few more Doctor regens to use, particularly the 3rd and 5th Doctors, and plenty more self-sacrificing. Kane from Dragonfire is another one that sticks in the mind.
#2 should be on another list. Top ten impossible decisions that broke the Doctor.
"Let me be brave"
How about Astrid played by Kylie Minogue in Voyage of the damned.. That look she gives the Doctor before stepping on the accelerator of the forklift that shoves both herself and Max into the ships drive reactor

not to mention Rory!

It is a CRIME that Capaldi's moment of acceptance that he will have to stand and fend off the cyberman army while the Mondasian refugees in the doctor falls is not here.
