- The Sontarans make their debut on Doctor Who in the middle of an English wood in the Middle Ages. The locals aren't too receptive! Classic clip from the 1973-1974 four-part story 'The Time Warrior', starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor, with his new companion Sarah Jane Smith.

Loved the reference to this in War of the Sontarans.
Same. Also love the return of their classic outfits, plus that horse joke.
"You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!"
"Do you have a flag?"
hahahahaha!!!!!
lel
that sounds like some monty python writing
@@Elipson52008 It's from an Eddie Izzard.
No flag No country!
I remember my parents had a silver Christmas 🎄 tree bauble with hexagons all over it. I used to play with it and pretend it was Lynx ship.
Wonderful! I collected all the fallen pine needles at the cost of a few prickles,and used that and some of the green crepe paper we put under the tree to make a stretch of grassland,upon which I coralled as many of my toys and model combatants,cannons and weapons as I could find and did a re-enaction,missiles a-flying willy-nilly,of the Charge of the Light Brigade,having seen the film of that on the telly one evening.
I love how Sontarans are always equipped with the perfect technology to combat any human weapons from swords to guns...
Sontarans versus Imperial Stormtroopers! Who would win?
Jamie Olberding Definitely Sontarans. Stormtroopers miss every shot and are limited in numbers. Sontarans are the best sharpshooters around and can clone eachother en masse. They also love war and were born to kill.
And flags to claim whatever celestial object they happen to land on HAHAHA
the americans copied sontarans for his predator 87
I like how the first appearance of this new, villainous species is basically it saying, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Most polite invaders in Doctor Who ^-^
"We are the Sonrarans who say... 'Ni!'"
And Irongron was asking to be turned into the Black Knight.
The Sontarans are one of the most interesting and bizarre aliens ever in Doctor Who.
are they. i mean they look like potatoes.
The Ood literally exist bro
predator 87 COPIED from them
I can't decide whether they're potato heads or sausage heads. Bangers and chips,anyone?
I like how Linx has to learn English with tagt monitor it’s not just another English speaking alien. And its not that damn Tardis translation either
One of the finest Doctor Who stories of all time. Utter quality. David Daker owns this tale.
Dot Cotton in this as well! Honest! Lol
have to agree but the actor that playd lynx was brilliant performance... off of the great dr who series
They kept the same speech patterns in the current series as they had in the old series! *sparkly eyes* I need to watch more old Doctor Who...
How has no one commented on that unruly white horse right at the start of the scene
Never noticed that before.. I'm thinking it's the rider adding a bit of 'flourish'. Horse is fine once it stops and the rider gets off.
That's the Lynx effect.
You are wrong buddy, actually the name you heard was Linx from Sontaran not Lynx which probably lead to the mistake. Here is the link to confirm-tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Time_Warrior_(TV_story)
I don't think You're Lying,after all it could just be Intuition but they may just have Thrown Away the Key.
I only just now noticed, that white horse at the beginning was not having it. XD
Wasn't happy one iota!
I’m still surprised that the BBC’s budget extended to cover five horses! Also nice that they were not in the usual Welsh quarry. Perhaps it’s the Blue Peter Garden?
“Can you overcome all of us with your magic?”
Yes...
In the words of The Great Soprendo. "Piff paff poof."
One of my favorite
Ah... back in the days before the Sontarans were solely used as comic relief...
I really hope the next showrunner makes it better if he ever puts Sontarans in the show again.
SammEater - he will. They're even gonna look like these ones.
@@nightowl8477 lmao rip
Steven Spielberg should be the next producer of Doctor Who.
He’s literally comedy relief in this story - even in this clip - look at little flag he sticks in the ground!
Also, there’s this dialogue
IRONGRON: Oh, hell's teeth, have you no girls beyond the stars? No women to do the lowly work?
LINX: Ah, I understand. You have a primary and secondary reproductive cycle. It is an inefficient system, you should change it.
Yeah, the Sontarans have ALWAYS been supposed to be funny. You are clueless.
shall you overcome all of us with your magic?yes BAM!
1:51 "Why should I help you, star warrior?" Part 1 aired almost 3 years and a half years before the release of Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope.
The Sontarans are an Alien Clone race from the planet Sontar.
@@dtaylor4552 Uh-huh?
@@dtaylor4552 so just like the stormtroopers. oh George..
Sarah Janes first adventure, it's a damn good story.
And the first story in Jon Pertwee's last series as the Doctor,running from the last Saturday at the end of 1973 to the start of summer 1974.
Happy days,when Dr who entertained and didn't lecture the audience, fantastic to see again. Feeling tearful! Lol
What Pertwee era have you been watching that “didn’t like to lecture the audience”? Did you just manage to miss Green Death, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Doctor Who and the Silurians, The Mutants, and more?
@@michaelpuglisi6767 I was 6 when I first saw Jon Pertwee,rather passed over my head at the time! Fair point though! Lol
@@michaelpuglisi6767 We never felt lectured down to by it then. Can't say the same about now. Perhaps it's in how they view,and so treat,the audience. To inform and entertain,not just browbeat mindlessly.
@@rjjcms1 I know it’s just a matter of opinion but outside of some unnecessarily heavy handed monologues at the end of Rosa and Orphan 55 it’s not lecture-y anymore than most other episodes are
Irongron does what I do, he walks the perimeter of his castle, parpets and grounds every morning and every evening while his fellow landowners wonder about his sanity. :p . David Daker plays that part well, I didn't even recognize him in Nightmare of Eden until I watched this again.
You have to admire irongrond for his total aggresion in the face of incredible power...
They were terrifying. So sad and baffling why they've been reduced to a comedy act?
Moffat
@Malk Von Batshit I don't remember RTD making Strax. Sure RTD made then smaller than they should be but i never really remember them being "funny".
IRONGRON: Oh, hell's teeth, have you no girls beyond the stars? No women to do the lowly work?
LINX: Ah, I understand. You have a primary and secondary reproductive cycle. It is an inefficient system, you should change it.
Yeah, this is totally serious and not at all comedic dialogue
@@morningcoffeecat2271 RTD made the Sontarans awesome. The Sontaran Stratagem and the Last Sontaran (SJA) were both fantastic stories. Moffat ruined them with that idiot Strax.
One of them has?
...(sticks small pop up flag in the ground)...this planet is mine now.
Neil Armstrong moment.
@@rjjcms1Marvin the Martian moment, more like.
The Time Warrior is one of my favourite. A truly classic episode of Doctor Who.
Yup. Possibly the best... And I'm not even a Pertwee fan
Brilliant acting by Linx. The best Dr. Who series as reviewed by Usf.
The star warrior has arrived! wonder what he thinks of earth's horses🤔
1:24 - 1:46 And thus the Sontarans have been trying to conquer Earth ever since!
I love this guy long live doctor who ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how this guy crashes in his broken-ass ship, and job one is claiming Earth for the Sontarran Empire. Makes me laugh every time.
Flee for your life captain
damn that white horse seems very upset
No other Sontaran compares to Lynx
Although Styre was a meanie (The Sontaran Experiment from 1975).
Possibly the best story ever
I wonder if the Sontarans partially inspired the saiyans of Dragon Ball given their love of combat and preference for one-on-one combat. Sontar also has greater gravity than Earth if I recall correctly. Who wants to see monkeys vs potatoes.
Which individual Sontaran do you guys is the smartest/most intelligent/most cunning? Commander Linx, Field Major Styre, Commander Stor, General Staal, Commander Steg ["Return of The Sontarans" spin-off movie], Commander Kaagh, or is it Commander Strax?
Left out Stike
@@life4fireforever273 will there be an Admiral Zuul or Captain Goza in the Sontaran Regime?
Linx is the best Sontaran in either series or spin off vids. One monster has to be tougher than several or hundreds because it has to last a whole story. Look at Dalek vs Bad Wolf etc. Single Dalek has shields, traversing mid section etc. The Dalek Scout can deflect missiles etc because it would be story over if you just did what Ace did and blew it up on sight.
Getting back to the point. Linx is the best because he's the first, the costume is excellent, the story is good and the character is well written and believable. That unhelmeting scene is a classic classic Who cliffhanger. Up until Nu Who various costumes didn't fit or we got a Derek Deadman cockney Sontaran or the costumes just look unreal (The Two Doctors). Then they just became a comic relief so they done even count.
@@eddherring3088 I strongly agree. But what about the smartest Daleks?
@@jamieolberding7731 easily the cult of skaro in my eyes.
So who made the choice of making the Sontarans of the new series so much shorter? Most of the ones in the classic series seem quite average height. Or is there an explanation for this?
Pertwee calls the Sontarans “nasty, brutish, and short” in this story so I can only imagine the new series just kinda took that description to heart
No it's not a fallen "styre" , it's a fallen lynx.
and to think. there greatest enemy are wide green jellyfish creatures.
Their enemies are the Rutans.
Based on 'Fang Rock' i'd rather deal with the Sontarans...
@@dtaylor4552 which look like wide green jellyfish..
Bob Hoskins was actually asked to play Irongron, and coincidentally, David Daker (who was cast as Irongron) was hired to dub Hoskins for the US release of 'The Long Good Friday'.
Really? Haha. The Cockney accent ended up in the right place then,never mind if most of the Yanks couldn't understand it.
it's actually looks pretty entertaining
When t’Knights’ watch met t’Sontarans before t’wildings!
Easily one of my favorite episodes just because of this scene.
1:20 Look just to right of his face. Tell me, what do you see?
That is actually rather odd looking, I’ll admit. Likely out of focus foliage though.
@montymintypie we we so excited :D
Sontar haaaaaaai
~micky~
is that noel Edmunds ?
Gotcha!
Thud!!!!
Ok Dr Who is next on the bungee jump 😮
Back in the days when the Doctor’s enemies were not just played for laughs by WOKE BBC writers who wish they were writing for HBO.
HBO must have careered downhill since the days of Breaking Bad in that case.
The dude does a straight - up Looney Tunes reference right out of the gate and you think he's not being played for laughs???
Before the definition of a potato was an actual potato
Now, Now don't be rude. You look like a Pink Weasel to him.
This is the Who I prefer, when it was actually good SF and realistically acted not like the wank super-hero nonsense it is lately.
There should be a soft remake or reboot of this episode. A sontaran officer crash lands in Syria and meets ISIS.
A better story line is seeing a Sontaran battalion stranded in Roman Northumberland and constructed a cloning facility under Hadrian's Wall.
I never liked sontarans that much from the new series. They just seemed to be just one of a long long LONG list of warrior races in this show. They lacked the lethality of a dalek and the true honor of an ice warrior and were mostly around for laughs. This sontaran I like a bit more, and I’m not sure why.
Because he's funny but not quite as over-the-top, I imagine.
SONTAR HA KABOOOOOM
Miss old who new who is rubbish
I bet you actually pay for Big Finish
Aww all the classic whovians fanboys crying at the comments because their favorite toy got a new personality.
Classic Who beats the current shitshow by lightyears. Sorry, but it's true! 😊
@@darrensmith8730 I bet you actually pay for Big Finish
@@zoewells3160 I've never actually got around to listening to big finish. I've heard good things.
Was that supposed to be an insult? Because it was pathetic.
@@darrensmith8730 Well, I assume if you listened to it, you’d pay money.
@@zoewells3160 Hmmm, and I assume most people don't generally like you... Just assuming! 😂
Only nine more holes to go!
