- A tribute to my favourite Doctor, who designed more sinister schemes and fought more gods than any other incarnation of the Doctor. He's the only one who considered the fate of galaxies and civilizations his personal responsibiltiy, and while walking this road, he found many friends and many tragedies to be saddened over, many of which were his own tragedies.

"It's not like I'm an innocent... I've taken lives... and I got worse, I got clever. Manipulated people into taking their own... sometimes I think a time lord lives too long..." Always loved that subtle reference to 7th in the End of Time. He was one of the most interesting and devious incarnations of the Doctor.
Malus Phillips It’s possible he was also referring to the war doctor also.
War Doctor didn't come until Eleven+. Above speech was from Ten, a Doctor who had various episodes and moments that directly refer to (or copied) Seven. Davro's calling him destroyer of worlds (Seven destroying Skaro), Ten's speech to Wilfred smacks of how Seven casually talked a Supreme Dalek into killing itself (and that isn't the only time Seven has done this shenanigans - he abhorred violence, but had no problem manipulating others into doing it for him). One of Ten's episodes was a somewhat re-telling of a Seventh Doc novel. Even 11th Doctor took a moment straight out of Curse of Fenric when he had to crush Amy's faith to save her - one of the best moments of Seven being in Curse of Fenric when he did that to Ace decades ago.
TLDR - there is no reference to the War Doctor there. Even the Doctor (any incarnation) want to forget the War Doctor. It is blatantly a Seventh Doctor reference.
Its very sad when the revived series feels the need to rake in a classic doctor into their preening self-pitying slushy monologues.
@@tost6956 I wouldn't say that. I think it worked really well into the story of how 10th felt during the end of his life. I believe that certain references to past Episodes can be done very well, if they are genuine and serve the story correctly, instead of being, "Hey remember this! Remember this was a thing!" that I saw a lot of in Matt Smith's era.
Especially the mentions in the episode where the lady says, I know you doctor, from beyond the dark times. Wonder what that meant.
I read up on him on the wiki and I like how there's implications that seven is considered the most dangerous doctor due to his nature of plotting and scheming.
12 rejected Missy’s army, while 7 would have given her the tools to create it.
And then utterly obliterated her.
which is why i never afraid of the valeyard, because 7 is way more scary
That rep that people attribute to the Doctor in NuWho? I guarantee you a majority of that is 7’s doing. That whole “oncoming storm, bringer of darkness” thing. I love 7 to pieces but he’s honestly the only incarnation of the Doctor that I could see tricking the Daleks into destroying Skaro.
Not just that - he has the balls to see situations like that through to the end without hesitation. Seven was a devious little bastard who got shit done no matter the cost. Yes, he was charming. Yes, he was kind. But when the chips are down, he won't pander unless there was a definite (better) alternative. If not? Well, you don't get called a chess-master if you don't know how to sacrifice your pawns.
RopeDrink Definitely!
@@RopeDrink Cliffhanger 7th Doctor was actually Valeyard.
I think he realized the weakness his 4th incarnation showed by not doing away with the Daleks when he had the chance to do so. This was his way of dealing with the guilt he held for the destruction of all the civilizations the Daleks came across after Genesis.
@@connorboyce9736It was the other way around. 7th Doc was tying up loose ends because he didn't believe his future incarnations would have the guts -- as opposed to feeling remorse for past actions. You could project the idea that 'not having the guts' may be witnessed during past events (like 4th Doctor not comitting genocide), but Remembrance doesn't feel like that at all. In fact, the only hesitation is 7 chatting with the coffee shop owner before deciding that destroying Skaro is the right move - and he doesn't flinch once the decision is made. In fact, the audience is left unaware of that end-game decision until you've seen it happen and re-watch the coffee scene.
And sometimes, Only Sometimes, he is your worst nightmare.
He is the doctor and he takes care of his friends.
That awkward moment when a villain asks the oncoming storm for pity.
| always found Sylvester McCoy completely underrated as the Doctor he had the obvious Doctor traits of helping the underdogs but there was also a brutal coldness to him where you could never know if he could be fully trusted.
He had a lot more depth to his portrayal than many other Doctors.
He may be a bumbling clown on the outside he's has a dark persona
No, he's a cold, machiavellian mastermind hiding behind a bumbling clown persona.
@@teal_m_101 he went from goofy to brooding to manipulative to dark
Love it. Sylvester McCoy's Doctor is my most favorite one, old or new. It always bugged me, given the number of times he's talked his way our of danger that he just walks out of the TARDIS and gets blown away by a random street gang. Couldn't the writers have given him a better end that that?
You're looking at it the wrong way. Yes, it's a bit silly from the writers perspective, BUT... It actually makes total sense for that incarnation. 7th was a master planner - the chess master. He'd pick his fights and have plans made long before he even arrived to say hello, and when things didn't go his way, he would have the perfect speech to get himself out of trouble. So, how do you deal with a Timelord that is always 2 steps ahead of you? You throw them into randomness. The Master bust the TARDIS and forced a landing. 7th clearly assumed he knew where he was and was confident enough to not even look - then wham.
It just kind of bugged me because it happens so close to the voice over saying something about being more careful in his old age. Yeah, so careful that he doesn't even check outside for danger and just walks out into an unknown situation.
I could almost forgive it if that line has been cut or something.
I will say I have 'made peace' with him not being able to talk himself out of the situation (even despite all the times this Doctor has had guns pointed at him and done just that) because he didn't have time to say much of anything.
It still is a bit of an embarrassing end (like in that one Christmas special when the Doctor thinks he's meeting a future self and says something about how embarrassing it would be if he had regenerated because he slipped in the street or something ).
Of course, given that Seven started his life because Six fell and hit his head in a TARDIS crash so I guess embarrassing in, embarrassing out. :)
He was careful, yes, but here he's alone and worrying about the master. He was also very depressed at this point in his life, so he'd be a lot less careful than his usual self, especially without a companion there to worry over. As far as I'm concerned, he had a plan - one that got wrecked by the Master busting the TARDIS - so he walks out into the unknown and gets taken out by randomness. Could it be better? Of course - but it's a fitting end to the chess-master, albeit a poorly executed one.
As for 6's regeneration, that was remedied by Big Finish in 6's "Last Adventure" story.
I reckon 7 had a plan, but it involved him leaving the TARDIS, perhaps to return later once the Master had left, but one that obviously got cut short by his getting shot (non-fatality but still painful) and subsequent death by surgery. As for why he didn't check the scanner, well, the scanner is near the console. Who's to say the Master didn't break that too.
Well....from the Virgin New Adventure novels from the '90s, it's implied that 7 forced the regeneration (basically killing the 6th Doctor so he could take over). It's very timey-wimey-wibbly-wobbly and only implied though. (And of course, this was a couple years before the TV movie came out.)
Also, that TV movie was very much a written by committee script, and it really shows. (For one instance you have the Doctor getting killed like that, for another wasting a brilliant portrayal of the Master by Eric Roberts by forcing him to be a Terminator clone for most of the story.)
Dude is basically the Jigsaw killer with a TARDIS. Greatest Doctor of all.
The audio story protect and survive was the doctor pulling a jigsaw on two elder gods
@@Mohammedamine9. Two ADORABLE Elder Gods
Sylvester Mccoy will always be my Doctor, he's funny and dark.
he is one of my favourites same with 4,12
The Doctor who talked the talk and walked the walk
"I'm not playing chess. I'm playing poker!" Is such a great way to sum him up
Oh, I ADORE this! Seven is such a great and underrated Doctor, and I love the dark and epic quality of his incarnation. Especially happy to hear a couple of Big Finish quotes. Absolutely seamless with the rest of the video. Great job.
Love the addition of Hex to the tribute! 7 is my favourite Doctor, especially in his audios.
good to see Hex in there, the third member of that trio is so unknown it's criminal
Brilliantly done! This is the best Seventh Doctor tribute I've seen!
Thank you, it's very flattering:)
The 7th Doctor knows a lot of things. Always pay attention to the face.
Magnificent! It encaptures everything that's great about the 7th Doctor. I specially loved that you used audio clips from "Protect and Survive".
Excellent work - there's quite a few 7th tributes I like, but this one does it properly.
At last love for the 7th doctor very very underrated.
The Best Doctors in classic who:
1.The Third Doctor
2.The Seventh Doctor
3.The Fourth Doctor
The Second Doctor is missing off the list.
Aaro The Wanderer The Best Doctors In Classic Who In My Opinion Are 1st Fifth Doctor, 2nd Eighth Doctor, 3rd Seventh Doctor, 4th Fourth Doctor
Best Doctors In Doctor Who Are 1st Tenth Doctor (My Doctor) 2nd Eleventh Doctor 3rd Fifth Doctor 4th Ninth Doctor 5th Twelfth Doctor 6th Eighth Doctor 7th Seventh Doctor 8th War Doctor 9th Fourth Doctor 10th Sixth Doctor 11th Third Doctor 12th Second Doctor The Worst The First Doctor He's Awfully Literally Awful
Okay
My ranking was always Fourth, then Seventh. Grew up watching Seven the most. Now...I think Tennant's Tenth is in the 3rd spot, but each of the new Doctors has so many good aspects. Eccleston was amazing. Same with Smith, and Capaldi. Baker and McCoy, though...they were so good, I can't put others above them.
Considering McCoy's doctor, however underappreciated he may be, paved the way forward for what is now called NuWho, it's nice to hear people giving him some love in the present day. Thanks to McCoy, Sophie and Cartmel, the companion role was expanded, the show started to grow up and utilize dark, adult themes underneath its stories, the companion would have equal screen time and no less importance, the Doctor became a mysterious figure rather than the eccentric do-gooder who stumbles into trouble, and the 7th Doc himself is still the darkest Doctor in the shows history. He'll always be my number one, no matter what anyone else says, with him and Ace being arguably the best TARDIS team in Whostery.
First I have a replica of the 4th doctor's Scarf, my next Doctor Who memorabilia conquest, a replica of the 7th doctor's umbrella.
Wow really I loved the outfit he was one of my favorite
Do you have his jumper?
Okay dillon
I hope we get another Doctor like this at some point
I just love this so much . This video also made me interested in 7th, i watched a couple of episode and what a great Doctor he was! Such cunning, manipulative, brilliant! I wish we had seem more of him on screen... Thank you so much for this!
The best! Nothing since has come close
thank you he always been my fav doctor always felt there was something more about the way he played it leaving us all wondering just who he was
Yes, I know what you mean, I still get the same feeling, even after years of knowing him. Glad you enjoyed the vid:)
Doctor numer Seven, setting the new layered and neuanced tone for all those to come.
That was awesome! I feel 7th open the doors to a more inner tormented soul Doctor
Very nice job! Seven is MY Doctor, and I've always felt that he deserves so much more love from the fandom than he receives. There were a couple of quotes in there that I couldn't quite place, perhaps from the Big Finish audios? Could you possibly tell me which audios you used?
Thank you very much:)
Your guess is correct, the line about metaphysical detectives is from "No Man's Land", the "find out how it feels..." line, as well as the following one (said by Hex, his companion), is from "Protect and Survive"
Thanks!
The Odd Ood hi I want ur permission to use this video in one of mine I will give u credits
Hello) I'm sorry to reply this late, but if you still need that permission, I have no problem with it
The Odd Ood thanks thanks ^^
I want the seventh doctor to come back on tv not just audios.
Those "audios" redifined 6, 7 to a force not to be reckoned with and made 8 into a proper doctor. They are the best
@@thelonggame9583 it would be fantastic to see what the audios did for them on screen.
7 would’ve been an excellent war doctor if the eighth and war doctor weren’t a thing
My Doctor
Loved this..... Thank you.
This is excellent, great work!
Deserved a lot more Views!
Good Work.
+De Be thank you:)
yes that was an amazing video, a tribute to the best. Doctor. loved it ❤
And how prophetic was he calling himself the Protector of Gallifrey..
Wow, that really is great - and makes me want to watch Seven again.
So he’s Palpatine but good
So much more then that
Very good!
The Seventh Doctor is the Darkest Doctor.
RIP hex
The McCoy era had an element of horror about it that few of the others did. It wasn't created by the bad guys, though, but by him. Something about the way he always looked and sounded like he was only tolerating all the evil baddies because it gave him something to do, but that he could squash them like bugs if they overstepped the mark.
I love McCoy.
"protector of gallifrey" *destroys gallifrey*
McCoy would be a really good Master
To think he literally died of getting shot down in a gang war
Best doctors for me
1. 10th Doctor
2. 7th Doctor
3. 9th Doctor
hang on, did I hear Hex at the end? did not expect some big finish in this tribute, nicely done.
This doctor was a little...hm darker? Perhaps a little bit more serious maybe ?. Intense .
God he was good. Is it true that in England many people at the time actually really disliked him?? I guess many "fans" are eating crow. Of course, as The Seventh Doctor himself might say, hindsight is always...
Various BBC execs were gagging to kill off the show long before McCoy arrived - and sadly, whoever is the 'face of the show' tends to get the brunt of hate when things go sour. Much like Jodie (13) - who gets badgered quite a lot due to her era being unpopular, despite having just been an actor instead of a writer or showrunner - Colin and Sylvester were the face of Doctor Who after it had been run into the ground, and thus, they get a lot of unwarranted flak.
The 7th Doctor the first doctor ever to show his time lord victorious side (in order) ruthless he has good plans, even evil ones like destroying skaro ruthless maniuplative, while clever and cunning and also a friendly figure well the exterior but under the exterior is a dark nature like 9, 10 and 11.
Under that exterior is the...
Time Lord Victorious....
i don't think he would be the time lord victorious. he is to moral for that
@@alisonmulholland7221 hm yes but this was the first stage of him going on the little too far side of things
Can we not bring that Nu Who nonsense into real Doctor Who?
@@CMOT101 It's still real Doctor-Who.
1:35
Where's the voice over at 2:04 from? I don't recognise it
Audiodrama "Protect and Survive", if I remember correctly
It is hector Thomas "hex" his companion at the time
McCoy was great
For such a dark doctor dont know why they gave him that bright attire
In my book it’s a perfect disguise to his silly facade because beneath that ridiculous outfit is a dark cunning chess master with an intentional bumbling exterior to conceal his true manipulative nature.
1:56 From what episode this words?
That's from an audio drama by Big Finish called "Protect and Survive"
It's a part of a large story arc with this new companion, Hex. I would advice you find more info on the chronology of dramas with him if you want to get acquainted with his story with the 7th (and you really should, early Big Finish is a step up from the tv show imo)
@@theoddood6216 okay, thanks
He sounds actually like Starlight Glimmer Which fits with 7th Virgo Scorpio Adagio fits with 8th actually
7th is dark just like the 9th and 10th.
Dude, did he really fought the gods of Ragnarok?
Yes.
0:59
What happend to you
Colab?
Sounds interestings for sure, I really like your style. Don't know if I can pull it, though, it's been a while since my last vid, I've been more focused on music and drama lately. And besides, I never done a cb, not really sure how you go about making them. And it could take time, gotta tell it right away. If none of that is a bother, though, I'm down for it
The ONLY Dr that matters to me.
One day I will find Michael Grade + do him harm.
McCoy is perfect.
The scripts were perfect.
The willingness was there.
It was pure spite + money.
Dr Who will never ever reach the heights Rememberance did (with so little)
My Doctor, always...
He was awfull doctor and ace was bad that’s why doctor who was taken of air for years and bad sets going wrong Darleks would not work very well no idea why when he played the doctor
Shut up hater
You don't know what you're talking about.
you’ve gone mad
