@@AndrewChapman I'd say that Thirteen plays the Doctor like a kid all the way through. She acts like she's seen everything for the first time and everything is new and exciting. Just the first in a massive list of reasons why I hate her portrayal. Smith may have been a bit of a man child but there were these moments where he showed such world weariness and there were times he seemed almost grandfatherly towards Amy. His boundless energy felt more like an old man suddenly having a young body and deciding to have as much fun as he could with his much more energetic regeneration than simply a child going crazy.
@@jackred2362 Even the First Doctor was just under 300 when we first saw him. But I love how he's much more immature and also a little naive. He was a Doctor that was quick to dismiss a lot of things as impossible and acted as if he knew everything.
@@cameronjosephvideos5942 Yeah he was very flawed, and in all the good ways. Very fun Doctor to watch, even if some of the episodes themselves can be difficult to get through at times. Very interesting era of Doctor Who, and I actually prefer Hartnell's era over Troughton's, even if I like Troughton's Doctor a bit more.
+cole turner He started out at that way. He doesn't trust anyone but susan at first, but Ian and Barbara change him for the better. Amy and all the others said it best--he needs humans around him and this shows why.
Yeah, Jon Pertwee's Doctor and Colin Baker's Doctor are much more harsh on average than William Hartnell's Doctor was! Not that they were bad, like Hartnell and Troughton, Pertwee and Colin Baker could be shockingly subtle too at times. Anyway, Hartnell's Doctor was far funnier than given credit for. I'm under the impression that people just watch _An Unearthly Child_ and don't go much further from there because it's not New Who at all and is admittedly not as good as _The Daleks_ or _The Reign of Terror_ when it gets right down to it. Thus fans tend to give up early on the First Doctor.
I think what a lot of people don't realise is that the first Doctor's grumpiness is something that evolves in a character arc during the first season, rather than the regeneration to the second doctor. I find the first season of Doctor Who fascinating, as we truly see the creation of the doctor as we know him today. We see the creation of his name - Barbara and Ian call him "the Doctor" because they have nothing else to call him, and that's what his occupation is listed at in the schools records. And we see him grow to become more and more selfless, and charming, and sociable, and wanting to do what's right, as he goes on new adventures with Barbara, Ian and Susan. I think particularly Barbara's actions in "The Aztecs" have a profound effect on the way the Doctor sees his role as a time traveling adventurer.
If anything, he was only a world weary person, sick of seeing the world being a shit hole, especially considering his people had the power to help those in need, but did nothing, but sit back, twitteling their thumbs.
+streamofawareness jep. That's what I love in Doctor Who. And also the reason it's so successful. Because while each Doctor is unique, there are some traits which link all of them and his urge to help out and make things better is always there :)
@@smileyman1721 if you want a fix to that outright stupid timeless child arc, it's really simple. Due to the Timeless childs dna being used to create the timelords, it also brought a genetic memory that can be seen in the matrix, no matter which timelord you have in it. This also in turn has the side effect of creating false memories on who it is used on, in this case false memories of past incarnations. Doctor just needs a good smack up the head to figure it out
"I don't see that I'm under any obligation to report my movements to you, Chesterfield." "Chesterton." "Oh, Barbara's calling you." That's hilarious, I like how they took Hartnell's trouble with the lines and actually worked it into some of the episodes.

@@AndrewChapman "I often feel the earlier Doctors managed to be funny without trying to be overly funny." Like Two leaping and yelping loudly as the Cybermen try in vain to delete him in _The Invasion._
To be fair though, he did play him at the very end of his incarnation, which may be the reason why he's so slow. Richard Hurndall did not, and played the First Doctor in a quick and playful manner, which makes sense since One was grabbed my the prism thingy while.. well.. he *wasn't* at the end of his life?
@@feilvei4498 I think he still talks quite slow in the audio dramas he did though and they were with Ian and Barbara, though I've only listened to 2 of them so far and that was a while ago now, I do still think he's great as the first Dr if a little different
And then came "The Timeless Children"... unless it'll later turn out the Master was lying to the Doctor regarding the Timeless Child. Kind of like how he hinted the Valeyard was a future incarnation of the Doctor between his twelfth and final incarnation. But obviously that never came to be. Honestly thought the Master would turn out to be the Timeless Child.

absolutely love that they made a joke out of hartnell's tendency to get the name 'chesterton' wrong. Mistake or not, I like imagining it as the doctor doing it on purpose - first as a bit of a rude jab, then later as a friendly name for Ian =P
Two of his best lines are in The Sensorites. "Tell them .... I shall fight them" "I don't make threats, but I do keep promises. And I promise you I shall make more trouble than you bargained for."
Upon listening to Hartnell's quotes, I now realize that Tom Baker is the modern-day Billy Hartnell. Both have a keen sense of imitating their enemies, especially at 2:00, and the Masque of Mandragora.
IAN: Where did you get hold of this? THE DOCTOR: My fiancée. IAN: I see. YOUR WHAT?! THE DOCTOR: Yes, I made some coco and got engaged. 3:16 IAN: Whoo-Hoo! Dalek! You should have also included the bit where the Doctor calls out to the Dalek "Whoo-Hoo, Archie!"

They tried to keep that to a minimum.)

for those who are wondering why some of these don't have footage its because some of the episodes are now lost and all that has been found is the audio
If I recall correctly, Doctor Who is unique in that, while some episodes are lost, likely forever (pain), every single episode exists in audio form. It's only their respective video reels that were destroyed or taped over. I hope the lost episodes will be found in private collections, but I doubt it.
@@literallyanangrymoose7717 yup, the fans have (thankfully) recorded the audio for all episodes that have aired. A lot of BBC shows from that era don't even have that, as they weren't anywhere near as popular as Dr Who, so they're fully missing - no audio and no telesnaps.
Thats the reason why I want time travel to be real. Imagine showing william hartnell what happened to doctor who. That would be the best reaction video ever.
@@pg-jr8sy Frankly, the Chibnall era would probably the Modern era he’d have the easiest time understanding, since it’s a lot closer to Classic Who in terms of overall feel than the RTD or Moffat eras were. Also, it is WAY less progressive than the RTD or Moffat eras (as much as it wants to be), and I hate to say it, but Hartnell would probably be a lot more at home in the more centrist, almost right wing at times views of the current show than he would be in the nearly leftist 2005-2017 range.
You'll probably kill him faster due to a heart attack with the 13's doctor's writing hence why I've seen that they'll be bringing back Russell T Davies as show writer but he'll probably enjoy the rest.
I love it when he's saying about the fluorescent bit, then says "Yes" like the explanation hes just made up is good enough and suitable for him. Shows hes just making it up as he goes, all that technobabble ;).
In all these centuries, he hasn't changed at all, has he? At least in some ways XD The sudden surprise engagements, too... XD Those go waaay back. Really, One's mischievious grins are waaay underappreciated.
I admit when I first got into DW I forced myself to watch First.... Now I am 2 decades older and I LOVE HARTNELL MAN. He has a sardonic humor 😂 like you almost won't catch it if you don't pay attention. I love how he told Ian off when they first met lol
I'd have been gutted if The Space Museum didn't exist cuz of 1:57. Always love that part. And the bit shown right before that from The Romans "Chester-TON." "Oh, Barbara's calling you." XD
"Binky" Hartnell eh , what a lad he was , always ready for a laugh , a pint , and a sing song round the piano , and his Carrot and Cabbage surprise was to die for , lovely lad .
"That is the dematerialising control and that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold....Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it - sheer poetry, dear boy!"
I cannot be the only person imagining the first Doctor using Shakespearean insults (or at least paraphrasing them). Imagine: The Doctor: Your brain is as dry as the remainder biscut after voyage. Barbara: Are you quoting Shakespeare? The Doctor: Whose to say he's not quoting me? He would also constantly contradict himself on if he knew Shakespeare just to confuse people.
One was grumpy and cynical at the beginning, and was hardly likeable at all, I would say. But during his first season he evolves to become The Doctor that we all know and love. Like, the very first Doctor had a character arc, and that baffles me.
@@feilvei4498 why baffled? He was young had escaped Gallifrey and was hiding out on Earth, and then these interlopers barged into his TARDIS without permission, can you blame him for being grumpy? He had to get used to being around people again!
This man put Doctor Who on the map and if it wasn't for Hartnell's excellent portrayal we wouldn't have this show still playing 55 years later. Also note that not once was Hartnell's Doctor talking down to a woman as if they were the servant or in a mean condescending way like Mofatt portrayed the first Doctor in the 2017 Christmas special! He may have been grumpy on occasion or flippant but that was one of the many facets of his character. Today's clueless politically correct generation would learn much from this era as I see it!
Re: Twice Upon A Time- as mandated by Lord Hall, Charlotte Moore, and the traitor (and former 11th Doctor era co EP) Piers Wenger. Between S10, that Christmas special and Disney's (under Bob Iger) handling of the Dumbo remake, its a fine line between historical accuracy and those fucking animated Titanic movies Nostalgic Critic touched up on.... .... Unfortunately, both Disney and the BBC swung toward the latter
The funniest thing is that both Eccleston and Hartnell have the same petty smile, and yet the 9th doctor complains about the ears. Probably something the 1st was always self conscious of.
I love William Hartnell, because he loved and believed in Doctor Who! It was his enthusiasm and hard work that sealed the early show's success! Thank you, Bill! ❤️ "What you need is a jolly good smacked bottom!" 🤣 ... Hilarious!
Lost cable and still waiting for the next complete season to come out on dvd. Haven't watch any DW for quite a while, and something slowly died in me. Watching this spurred a bit of life back into that part of me.
I think Peter Capaldi forgot that. He was trying to make the Doctor stern and serious in a way that was supposedly like William Hartnell but he must have misremembered that the 1st Doctor was actually like. He had his serious moments but even in An Unearthly Child, Hartnell had a trickster like playfulness that Capaldi lacked.
@tomnorton4277 what?? No way😂 At first his grumy side definitely over powered the funny side but Peter had some of the best moments to make me laugh and literally his first episode showed his childish side too
@@tomnorton4277in fairness, Capaldi doctor is one that still remembers the Time War, the deaths of many of his friends, and dealing with all kinds of chaotic madness. I can see why they went with a more serious take, though he also had his moments of goofiness too.
@@PipsyProductions I like Colin more than Tom. Tom is a textbook egotist in real life and he's not really an actor in the traditional sense because he was just playing himself. Colin is a proper actor who plays other people.

I admit when I first got into DW I forced myself to watch First.... Now I am 2 decades older and I LOVE HARTNELL MAN. He has a sardonic humor 😂 like you almost won't catch it if you don't pay attention. I love how he told Ian off when they first met lol
Am I the only one who’s going to talk about how glad they are that the episodes with these funny moments were recovered
I'd have been gutted if The Space Museum didn't exist cuz of 1:57. Always love that part. And the bit shown right before that from The Romans "Chester-TON." "Oh, Barbara's calling you." XD
"Binky" Hartnell eh , what a lad he was , always ready for a laugh , a pint , and a sing song round the piano , and his Carrot and Cabbage surprise was to die for , lovely lad .
"That is the dematerialising control and that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold....Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it - sheer poetry, dear boy!"
1:58 he's so adorable 😆☺️
I have been a whovian fan starting with the 13th Doctor, and already the 1st Doctor is my favorite.
My favorite too, he's an amazing doctor
I cannot be the only person imagining the first Doctor using Shakespearean insults (or at least paraphrasing them). Imagine:
The Doctor: Your brain is as dry as the remainder biscut after voyage.
Barbara: Are you quoting Shakespeare?
The Doctor: Whose to say he's not quoting me?
He would also constantly contradict himself on if he knew Shakespeare just to confuse people.
goodbye to susan was so sad, even made me like susan for a moment!
Yes, whatever you say, Doc
TOR.
And that is a chair with a panda on it
"Doctor!"
"Oh, Ch-ch-ch-child!"
That's my favorite.
This is what I loved about Capaldi, He brought back the grumpy, cynical old man.
One was grumpy and cynical at the beginning, and was hardly likeable at all, I would say. But during his first season he evolves to become The Doctor that we all know and love. Like, the very first Doctor had a character arc, and that baffles me.
@@feilvei4498 why baffled? He was young had escaped Gallifrey and was hiding out on Earth, and then these interlopers barged into his TARDIS without permission, can you blame him for being grumpy? He had to get used to being around people again!
@@julieeverett7442 I am baffled that they managed such good character work so early on
This man put Doctor Who on the map and if it wasn't for Hartnell's excellent portrayal we wouldn't have this show still playing 55 years later. Also note that not once was Hartnell's Doctor talking down to a woman as if they were the servant or in a mean condescending way like Mofatt portrayed the first Doctor in the 2017 Christmas special! He may have been grumpy on occasion or flippant but that was one of the many facets of his character. Today's clueless politically correct generation would learn much from this era as I see it!
Yeah I found that so odd.
Re: Twice Upon A Time- as mandated by Lord Hall, Charlotte Moore, and the traitor (and former 11th Doctor era co EP) Piers Wenger.
Between S10, that Christmas special and Disney's (under Bob Iger) handling of the Dumbo remake, its a fine line between historical accuracy and those fucking animated Titanic movies Nostalgic Critic touched up on....
.... Unfortunately, both Disney and the BBC swung toward the latter
I would say as much pressure was on Troughton to follow up Hartnells performance
Mofatt's take on the first Doctor was so disrespectful.
@@pietrobembo Shenanigans! I call Shenanigans!
1st Doctor was a vibe. I really wish he could’ve met 10 thru 13
Holy shit the First Doctor accidentally saying "no it ain't" is pure gold, I'm amazed I wasn't aware of this.
Its funny to see a grumpy actor be such a great doctor
It’s even better to see Hartnell have fun with the role as this role pretty much changed his life for the better
Especially with Hartnell previously being pigeon holes into gruff officers
The funniest thing is that both Eccleston and Hartnell have the same petty smile, and yet the 9th doctor complains about the ears.
Probably something the 1st was always self conscious of.
My favourite scene has to be when the First Doctor was hiding inside a Dalek Suit.
0:45 I didn't realise this was a reference to what William said when David bradley said this in twice upon a time to bill
Definitely the most underrated Doctor.
I love William Hartnell, because he loved and believed in Doctor Who! It was his enthusiasm and hard work that sealed the early show's success!
Thank you, Bill! ❤️
"What you need is a jolly good smacked bottom!" 🤣 ... Hilarious!
I just absolutely love him 🥰⭐
Omg thank you for these videos.
Rip William Hartnell ❤️❤️❤️
Lost cable and still waiting for the next complete season to come out on dvd.
Haven't watch any DW for quite a while, and something slowly died in me.
Watching this spurred a bit of life back into that part of me.
0:01 to 0:06 “Ha hahahaha ha ha ha ha” - William Hartnell. Truly one of the moments of all time
4:18 Steven knows his place.
I love Steven, and Peter Purves is great.
Indeed he is, one of my favourite compnanions
wonderful.. thank you for remembering... tune in
0:41-0:47 The two sides of the First Doctor.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-child!
Love that.
I can't with that scene where he's pretending to be a Dalek. The Doctor has literally always been a fucking goofball!
I think Peter Capaldi forgot that. He was trying to make the Doctor stern and serious in a way that was supposedly like William Hartnell but he must have misremembered that the 1st Doctor was actually like. He had his serious moments but even in An Unearthly Child, Hartnell had a trickster like playfulness that Capaldi lacked.
@tomnorton4277 what?? No way😂 At first his grumy side definitely over powered the funny side but Peter had some of the best moments to make me laugh and literally his first episode showed his childish side too
@@tomnorton4277in fairness, Capaldi doctor is one that still remembers the Time War, the deaths of many of his friends, and dealing with all kinds of chaotic madness. I can see why they went with a more serious take, though he also had his moments of goofiness too.
That is a chair with a pander on it
*panda
I heard panther.
"That is a chair with a panda on it, sheer poetry dear boy. Now please stop bothering me!"
Happy Birthday, William Hartnell!
Now in the mood to go back and rewatch all the Hartnells 😊
You missed "See that scanner? That is what I call a scanner up there!"
The fact that "It's far from being all over" is one of the last things he says is quite profound.
I ask myself, who's my favorite (no pun intended)? It's always a tie between Hartnell and Baker.
Tom or Colin?
@@PipsyProductions I like Colin more than Tom. Tom is a textbook egotist in real life and he's not really an actor in the traditional sense because he was just playing himself. Colin is a proper actor who plays other people.
0:01 when you laugh at your own joke you just told but none of your friends think your funny
"What you need is a jolly good smack button" 😂 Get me everytime
If only the missing episodes could be recovered...
William heartnell was such a great character actor
I've started the classic era and I'm at "The Moonbase" (great one), I can't lie, I love the 2nd Doctor but I still miss a lot the 1st.
He is still the Doctor. And he will always be the Doctor.
"Where you get this"
"My Fiance"
....
"YOUR WHAT!?"
“Yes I made some cocoa and got engaged”
