How did Donna manage two iconic First Moments by herself, what a legend
@Monty Python the Flying Circus I know when and why she was reintroduced, obviously. And I just think it's funny because technically Clara was a different character each time she was introduced - Donna got two showcases on her own, without a stupid time travel mcguffin. I didn't mention Clara because I fully expected her to have multiple moments in the video.
Because she the Best Temp in Chiswick.
What breaks my heart is remember when Amy tells the doctor that they always sent him a place for Christmas.. well I can totally imagine her and Rory still setting him a place even though they know they can never see him again
And I imagine, one for River as well.
Fuck. After The Angels Take Manhattan, that line hits even harder. I don't think Steven Moffat fully hit his stride in writing companions until he wrote Clara but Amy was one of his stronger characters. I wish he hadn't backtracked on the fact that she murdered Madam Kovarian though. That would have been fascinating to explore, especially since the Doctor abhors any form of violence, never mind cold blooded murder. Imagine how he would have reacted if he knew his mother-in-law was a murderer.
In my book, Clara Oswald is Steven Moffat's magnum opus, especially since she made Peter Capaldi's debut season much better than it would have been if Capaldi had to carry it with a brand new companion. Sorry, Capaldi fans but without Clara, he would have crashed and burned within his first season. Unlike Matt Smith, Capaldi just wasn't a good enough actor to carry his debut season without A LOT of help from previously established characters. Actually, I would argue that Clara was carrying it FOR him because Capaldi was too busy trying to cram every previous Doctor into one character and accidentally showing what the Valeyard would be like if he was an actual regeneration in the process.
Me: oh a new video this is going to be nice after a bad day
The video: reminds me of all my favourite characters who died or had heartbreaking send-offs
Martha was not heartbreaking, Oh wait she married mickey.
Next video: _Companions: Last Moments | Doctor Who_
Yeah, my favorite was when ever the Doctor would meet Donna, but her ending almost made me cry.
"I'm the Doctor by the way what's your name?"
"Rose"
"Nice to meet you Rose. Run for your life"
Best first moment ever.
And they say to skip on season 1. Fools
Who said that? What's wrong with Eccleston?
@@josephchambers2000 I wish I knew. Some people just like to spread hate and find even the smallest detail in order to criticize someone else. Just like Martha: her love has never been returned by the Doctor? She is the worst companion, she did nothing that complain, she's useless...
Sara Lisi I loved Martha, for me she was one of the best companions. On the other hand I didn’t like Rose at all. I guess we have our own preferences. My favourites were Romana II and Sarah Jane.
@@saralisi7456
To be honest I just completely forgot Martha existed.
I miss the Ponds. Always enjoyed seeing the Doctor travel with his family. 😭😭😭
Matthew Vlossak o shit you right
"You're Scottish - fry something." LOL
Also -
“Swear to me on something important.”
“Fish fingers and custard.”
BBC: 'Let's sell an upscaled Blu-Ray of series 1 - 4'
Also BBC: 'Let's not bother to use it for our clips on UA-cam'.
Dona & The Doctor's second meeting is probably the best. Definitely the funniest😂
"The woman in the shop"
The Tenth Doctor: *THE SHOP IS STILL THERE!*
I love it when people refuse to do the thing- "The Doctor" and you're supposed to ask "Doctor Who?" But people like Bill say other things and I always smile.
similar to entering the Tardis and most people say "it's bigger on the inside" but Bill says "it's like a kitchen" and Clara says "it's smaller on the outside"
@@sisi7304 In The Name of the Doctor, Clara's echoes are confirmed to have vague memories of her original self in the back of their minds. They know they exist to save the Doctor but they have their own lives to live outside of that. Subconsciously, Victorian Clara must have known that she'd already done the "bigger on the inside" thing in another life, so she put her own spin on it instead.
I love little details like that. They help convey that each of Clara's echoes is still an individual, even though they're extensions of the original Clara. It's also sad because all of these individuals only exist to save the Doctor from the Great Intelligence's meddling in his Time Stream. That means they all have a pre-established destiny and, as far as we know, VERY few of these millions of Clara's even got a thank you from the Doctor. You'd be lucky to find just 1 Clara out of every 100 echoes who was even acknowledged by him. Maybe that's why Victorian Clara was crying before the Ice Governess pulled her to her death. The Doctor had FINALLY, after centuries of ignoring her, acknowledged that she had his back.
@@tomnorton4277 oh true, excellent point
Aren't we missing...
-Mickey Smith?
-Adam Mitchel?
-Captain Jack Harkness?
-River Song?
-Wilfred Mott?
-Rory Williams?
-Commander Strax?
-Vastra?
-Jenny Flint?
-Nardole?
The paternoster gang were never companions
Nardole and Rory are glaring omissions though
River I don't even know which introduction should be used. She was never a proper companion anyway
They forgot Mickey, Jackie, Jack, Wilfred, Rory, River and Nardole! ☹️
Sarah Jane neither
The Fonz yeah in case there was anything specific in the video I liked to comment about.
I Hate Everything Is Good Apparently it’s only new series companions. Sarah-Jane may have appeared in the modern series but she first appeared in the classic series.
River might be confusing, because they really met at the tenth Doctor with Donna in the library, but then met again many times when he was the eleventh, but the rest of them were perfectly fine characters that should have been mentioned!
Larissa SPARK In my opinion, River’s first ever meeting with the Doctor (from her point of view) is in _Let’s Kill Hitler._
Why do i remember Clara saying “run u clever boy and remember me” when she never said me ?
She did in 'The Name Of The Doctor' before she jumps into the doctor's timestream
@@alextherichardson I find that really cool. She finally reveals what he was supposed to remember, but he always did anyway. The great big throughline to her character; unforgettable, even before she loosened up a bit and started showing off her devious side.
She did at one point
The Mandela effect
She did in the asylum of daleks
When I first see Clara as a Dalek I always feel so bad for her
If you want to have nightmares, watch Revelation of the Daleks from Colin Baker's era. It shows the horrific reality of what a Human goes through whilst being converted and it doesn't pull any punches. It's one of the most disturbing moments in Doctor Who's long history and I don't think the modern BBC would have let Steven Moffat show Oswin in that state. Dalek conversion is a horrendous process for a Human being, so the fact that Oswin managed to be so chipper and, even when she stopped deluding herself into thinking that she hadn't been turned into a mangled mess of flesh and organs trapped in a metal shell, still had enough strength to resist her programming shows that she was exceptionally strong. To quote Peter Capaldi's Doctor "Never try and control a control freak."
Girl who plays young Amy is Karen Gillan's cousin.😎
Her name is Caitlin Blackwood. Now at 19 she could easily be mistaken for Karen's little sister.
whaaaaat?! i never knew this
This I did not know.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Whaaat for real!!!
Doctors always look their best just after regeneration, in their previous incarnations' outfits. Just my personal opinion
@@thefonzkiss like I said, personal opinion
I loved 13th in Peter's 12th's outfit.
David in 9th outfit was sooo handsome
Colin in Peter Davison's outfit "change my dear and it seams not a moment too soon" but I loved the rainbow outfit ( :
Mar yeah same!!
I am glad you included Donna's second "first moment" cause that to me is one of my favorite moments of all time
When the Doctor and Donna see each other through the windows, that little honk when it cuts back to Donna (10:41) kills me every time.
BBC : COMPANIONS FIRST TIME.
*CLARA* : TIMES* BABE.
Ps: thanks for the 200 likes
Also, Donna
Clara also had like 10000 farewells too.
Like # 300 for Donna and Clara.
EGGS Stern and nate
And River
I love how each Clara intro gets its own mention. I love everything about her character.
22:49 "is it an evil spirit?"
"no its a woman"
*does small prayer thing*😂😂😂😂😂
Most of these are hilarious I can't stop laughing at the fact that amy let's this madman in her house and just fed him and then the doctor and donna at her wedding is hilarious aswell
*your scottish, fry something*
Proceeds to tap fork against table while waiting for a child to cook food for them
compare the companions’ first and last words to make everyone sad
I wish 12 and Bill had one more season together. They were a GREAT TARDIS team!
Im just hoping for big finish
I hope someday Capaldi does some big finish as well.
Big Finish need to bring Capaldi, Mackie, Lucas and Gomez in to do a box set or 100 (lol). They already have Gomez but they need the other three. I’ve met Mackie and she’s with the idea of Big Finish but at the time she said she hadn’t been approached, as for Lucas I think he’s busy currently with a mini Little Britain reboot and Capaldi always seems to be in a job so it might be difficult. It’s possible to get them to record abroad Barrowman does it for Torchwood so who knows. But that would be a dream absolutely come true. 😁
Crossland Plays also I think capaldi said he’s kinda over the whole doctor who business.
@@ink7761 I'm assuming it's the nature of the franchise and the politics behind the scenes
Bad bad beans :-D 12:49 Gotta love the madness of the Doctor when he's figuring out who he is post regeneration
Ugh now all I want to do is re-watch the series again
That's the idea ;)
Yeah me too! 😛
In what app?
@@loyalty_setsuko5052 bbc i player in the uk!!
They excluded Wilf, Captain Jack AND Rory, arrrrrgh my rage!
I'm with you on Rory, but Wilf and Jack were occasional sidekicks, not full-on companions as such. Captain Yates, Sgt Benton and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart appeared in far more episodes than Captain Jack in the classic era, but none of them are classified as companions. As a comparison, I make it that Jack appeared in 12 episodes, but Benton features in over 70, and Lethbridge-Stewart more than 100. During Benton, Yates and Lethbridge-Stewart's appearances on the show, the true companions were: Victoria, Jamie, Zoe, Liz Shaw, Jo Grant, Sarah Jane, Harry Sullivan, Nyssa, Tegan, Turlough, Susan and Ace (plus Romana, if we count the edited-in footage of her in The Five Doctors).
I feel like Wilf gained ‘companion’ status at the very end of Tennant’s run
@Da_ShadowWarrior Pretty much. Wilf was the companion for The End of Time in practically every sense. Traveled in the Tardis, was with The Doctor for nearly the entirety of the plot, had the actor's name in the opening titles, etc.
@@FreeTheDonbas Technically, but i don't count him because he was a self-serving bastard
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Professor 12th Doctor is the best 12th Doctor, and it's always a joy to see him onscreen.
They have done a really excellent job of casting companions down the years.
where’s captain jack and the many other prominent characters from series 1
@Harry JB man was in the opening titles
Jack had spinoff haswell so he was a companion
HARRY HE WAS IN THE OPENING TITLE
@@DalekCaanOfSkaro Having a spinoff doesn't make you a companion; Sarah Jane Smith did have a spinoff (with or without K9) but she was the only one. Jack Harkness is much more like Mike Yates from the classic era, who appeared in almost exactly the same number of stories, but was only a sidekick not a full-on companion. The only companions during Captain Yates' time on the show were Jo Grant and Sarah Jane, although they were called "assistants" back then.
@Legendary_fan 008 I acknowledged that, but I also said that having a spinoff doesn't make him a companion. Jack's a _recurring character_ like River Song, Wilfred Mott, Kate Stewart, Osgood, Vastra, Jenny, Strax, Jackie Tyler, Danny Pink etc. A character might turn up in more than one story, but doesn't make them a companion.
*looks at donna then looks away but realises its her* *donna is shook*
donna: *shocked face* doctor: *donna?* donna: *doctor* doctor: *what* donna: *oh my god* doctor: *how* donna: *its me* doctor: *yes i can see that* donna *this is brilliant* doctor: *what the hell are you doing there?* donna: *i was looking for you* doctor: *what for* donna: *explains* donna: *them talking, us hiding, me and you and them-*
Doctor: *Run*
16:54 I wonder to myself why the Daleks bothered to chain Dalek-Clara if the chains broke apart when she moved just five inches forward😂
Maybe it’s not to keep her in. Maybe it’s to keep others out. Tell me, who’s the first person you’ll think of when you see a man with a muzzle in chains unable to express any form of emotions or sense of humanity? You’ll probably think of Hannibal Lecter. It’s not a restraint, it’s a deterrent. No one is going to assist a murderous, psychopathic sentinel with chains wrapped around it because it suggests that there is a legitimate reason why those chains were wrapped around it, because it suggests that the prisoner is dangerous. It’s to deter any other humans from treating Oswin humanely. It’s too prevent other humans from helping her escape.
This video is gold. Donna WAS GOLD.
This is really cool! Introducing a character can be hard, so it's interesting to see how different writers go about it!
I love that part of The Woman Who Fell To Earth. No mess, just instantly 'yep, she's the Doctor'. Great acting and writing
For some reason, I remember the "first moment" of Clara being the TARDIS introduction, even though that's so much later in the episode. The seamless transition into the TARDIS and the epic reveal was just *soooo* good though.
then "say what you want, I've heard them all", "it's smaller on the outside", "ok that's a first"
I love how this channel posts videos that normally fans do
I would love to hear "Run you clever boy" in a dalek voice 😂😭
Where's Rory!?!?
Why are there two scenes for Donna and not for Amy young and old
Old? 😂
Totally agree, Amelia deserves a spot, but she only became a companion when she "became" Amy. Rory, obviously, deserves a separate spot.
alright who is hiding Nyssa in the Tardis ? there's no Nyssa I want my money back
Donna's more entertaining to watch. Change my mind.
The Triple Point because Catherine Tate and David Tennant are national treasures
"Run!"
One of my favourite scenes in New Who
Box falls out of the sky, man falls out of the box, man eats fish custard, and look at you!
I clicked for Ian and Barbara. I did not get Ian and Barbara.
Me too! I hoped to see ALL Companions
How any hours do you think that'd be?
We didn’t see a lot of the companions intros like Micky poor old Micky... at least he hooked up with Martha
You did not get to see Ian and Barbara, but you got to see the worst doctor ever. That's fair, if you ask me.
@@kaicreech7336 not enough hours
can't wait for the day when doctor who gets a copyright strike for their own content.
Me: Sees Rose
Also me: Gods the writing was strong then.
Writing was stronger with Martha and Donna.
It just went downhill after Tennant left. Matt Smith is a great actor, but it was muddied up because the seasons with Amy and Rory are all about them... Stopped watching after Capaldi
@@rocketgirlygirl8658 personally I found with matt smith his first series was amazing, and then kinda went down in quality for next series. Capalid I thought in series ramped up in quality over Time with episodes like heaven sent, oxygen, face the raven, the doctor falls, dark waters, listen etc
Wait... are you a Percy Jackson fan...?
Now we need a similar video for the 1963-89 series.
Adam Harris
Might as well add in the movie too
Obviously.
Don't know if they will or not cuz of the missing episodes from the 60s where new companions were introduced.
I'm guessing they couldn't use Martha's real first scene when the Doctor took his tie off due to the music in the background or something being copyrighted.
Anyway, that was not the first proper time they met. In the Doctor’s life he had already met her.
1,2,3,4 i declare a time war,
5,6,7,8 Daleks scream exterminate,
9,10,11,12 the doctor died and silence fell,
12,11,10,9 here he goes back in time ,
8,7,6,5 saving everybody's lives,
4,3,2,1 grab her hand a whisper "Run."
Hope u like
I've seen that before so it's probably not by you, but it's nice reading it anyway.
Google User No duh 😂 it’s an old poem that I just felt went with it
the sad dalek voice gets me every time
I think Rose will always be my fav companion. She wasn't my first, but her's and the Doctor's relationship stole (and broke) my heart forever 😭
10:35 - this is one of the most brilliant scenes in this show.
@@nelsonv1953 Fun fact, Donna miming what she was saying was Catherine Tate improvising
Out of all of these, my favourite remains Clara, in all her incarnations.
The way the phone rings at 21:32 it's almost like it's saying “Doctor”.
I'm the Doctor by the way. What's your name
Rose
*Holds up bomb*
Nice to meet you Rose, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
God I love that bit
Introducing Martha was the best way Doctor Who has ever done all Martha's life and the theme track, Spot on! 👍
10:37 talking to your friends across the classroom when the teacher isn't looking.
I think I like Victorian Clara more than Modern Clara
It's the Clara I fell for.
I think a number of people do.
I agree, it’s a shame we didn’t get her
I love her the most
Victorian Clara was actually going to be the doctors companion but the writers changed their mind.
“Half an hour ago i was a white haired Scotsman” Pure genius
I find the lack of Classic companions on this list disturbing.
Haha
If they added all the Classic companions as well, we’d be here all day. Maybe they’ll do a separate video, hopefully.
Peylix-Ohm
I think they’re only doing the Newer Series.
@@thecelticcrone7927 Yes, we gathered that.
#Stillwaitingonthatmacraterror
It says from 2005
Both of donna's moments was extremely iconic
I love it! At 5:49, right in front of her eyes, that is recognizably the constellation Orion!
This reminds me of the "regeneration scene" in The Doctor Falls. Not when he actually regenerated but when he wakes up after seeing the companions like the 5th Doctor did. In that Vision we see Rose, Martha, Donna, Sarah Jane, Jack, Amy, River, Clara, Nardole and Bill. They completly forget Rory.
My favourite companion is still Sarah Jane
Mine is Leela Of The Savateem.
@@josephchambers2000 Nice ;)
mine is Nyssa of Traken
Agreed.
Is it just me or is it the gingers that have amazing feistiness and amazing personalities. Isnt that right NERRIS
You're not alone in thinking that! BTW, her name is "Nerys" - I'm fairly sure it's an RTD fanboy tribute to Nerys Hughes, who starred as the scientist Todd in the classic Peter Davison story, _Kinda._
There's a parallel dimension where the doctor wasn't at Rose's work place, and she was slaughtered by mannequin's in the basement.
Donna have the *best* first time
Seeing all the Sonics in the cup hit me with mass nostalgia.
I always forget about the doctors granddaughter on his desk when he first meets Bill🥺
Bill Potts and Donna Noble are my favourites, but the introduction of Rose is just fantastic!
Technically from a Timeline perspective, that isn't the first scene with Rose
I hope there's a new Doctor Who scene on Children In Need tonight!
Children In Need is tonight!?
@@Mr_Storm_22 yes half 7 uk time
Yeah can’t wait for it! Hopefully there will be something to do with s12!
@@RedMakesMusic_ k can't wait
@@WhatHandlesAreAvailable yep. Maybe Jodie will be on it
kinda wished it was EVERY companion lol but Rose is my first love so I'll take it
Yeah me too
now give us the 1963-1989 version! pleasss
You mean 1963-1996. Grace was a companion, too, even if just for one movie
@@brentage5000 yeah but I want only the show, what you're saying is of course most welcomed!
Might be hard to find too.
But I would love to be able to see them, each episode not just parts of it.
@@brentage5000 she wasn't though
She really wasn't
And she was never going to be
@@Yetaxa tell it to the guys on the fan wiki pages
i love that with Donna it was one of the few times the doctor was legitimately confused
Clara was the best companion ever imo.
"I'm calling you Yaz, because we're friends now." 😂😌❤
“Who’s Wilson”
“Chief electrician”
‘Wilson’s dead”
XD
Bill's entrance is my favourite
Donna and the doctars silent conversation was the funniest thing on this list.
If anyone's puzzled about the absence of Jack, River or Wilf... they were _recurring characters,_ but that doesn't make them companions. To put it in perspective, the legendary Col/Brig Lethbridge-Stewart appeared in over 100 classic episodes, but he wasn't a companion, and neither was Cpl/Sgt Benton, who appeared in over 70. In comparison, the nearest any of the modern era's recurring characters gets is River Song, who appeared in 15, followed by Jack Harkness with 11.
I get that, but Rory and Nardole were full time companions with their name in the intro for at least a full season. They deserved a scene here
@@donaldduck1860 I totally agree that Rory and Nardole are proper companions and should have been in this video. I mentioned Jack, River and Wilf specfically as their names crop up often in discussions like this. Much as I love them, too, I know the difference between a recurring character and a companion.
@@ftumschk Yeah, I agree with everything there. I think the thing that got me, was that so many people are debating if Jack, River, Wilf,... should have been in this video, but only a minority is mentioning that Rory and Nardole clearly should have been there. These two are somehow always forgotten. So I was happy to see you stating who counts as a companion, which makes it worse, that even the BBC doesn't count them as companions
Donna’s first moments will always be iconic
I understand that many of you missed the Classic companions, but the video clearly states at the beginning that only the first moments from 2005 to 2018 are covered. Another video with the Classics would be cool, but please stop complaining.
That first pub Clara walks out of looks exactly the same as the one she dies next to in trap street...
I just wanna say that the look on the doctor's face when Amilea tells him hes lucky he doesn't have an aunt is kinda haunting. At this point the Doctor still destroys Galifray, ik its quite hard to understand at the moment but it's probably the first reference to the Time war in Matt's era.
I love the adipose babies sooooo much!
28:57 At that moment I thought the title sequence was actually gonna start. ☹️
Of course they put Graham's face in the Thumbnail. He's the best between him Rian, and Yaz.
Doctor Who is the WHOLE show not just 2005
But how many know the old shows- like someone seeing a remake and then saying "the one I know is the best" and partly claiming as some such do- that supposedly the old shows "copied" from the new ones because they liked the new better than the old. [example, Star Trek. It was first on in the 1960s: it spawned one animated series, numerous books, comic books, 10 movies and 4 spin-off series. When exciting JJ Abrams Star Trek showed up, some thought that anything NOT JJ Abrams Star Trek was fake].
Fun Fact: The dude in the middle of that shot used to be my drama teacher. 28:42
Docter : Do you remember me???
Clara : Err No
the first time amelia met the doctor. I was 14. IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.
This brings me back man
What I think would be fun?
Rose, Amy and Rory, Donna and Clara. Working together to save their Doctors. (9, 10, 11, 12)
I haven't seen 13, yet.
They should do another one of these with classic companions
(The ones with surviving footage of their entrances, anyway)
Yes it's a bit difficult for the 60s companions whose first episodes are missing.
Clara: hold my echos
10:20 the best Doctor Who enter ever when Donna and Doctor finally see each other again. XD
U MISSED RIVER SONG! WHY WOULD U MISS RIVER!?
She technically isn't a companion
River: *smirk* spoilers..
She isnt The Doctor's companion. The Doctor is her companion
@@justthehari Ok... ur so right

Anyone else notice the picture of river and Susan, the doctors granddaughter and first companion on twelves desk?
The second I saw Jenna, I thought ~This... might take a while...~. rofl
I'd have probably added his wife, and Harkness. Also, Martha met him in a hospital bed.
Good god, I can't wait for Xmas... Ever since this show started, I haven't looked forward to Xmas so much since I was a kid.
What do you mean by "this might take a while"? And why is that funny?
