- This is the 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) performing the iconci speech from
'The Pandorica Opens', originally performed by the 11th Doctor Matt Smith.
FULL SPEECH:
"Hello, Stonehenge. Who takes the Pandorica takes the Universe, only bad news everyone cause guess who?! Hah! Listen you're all whizzing about, it's really very distracting, so could you all just stay still a minute because I am talking! Now, question of the hour is who has the Pandorica? Answer I do, next question, who's coming to take it from me? Come on... look at me no plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else, I don't have anything to lose so if your sitting up there in your silly little spaceships with all your silly little guns and you have any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight just remember who's standing in your way; remember every black day I ever stopped you and then, and then, do the smart thing and let somebody else try first.
Speech above scripted from Matt Smith's original performance. McCoy's may differ slightly
Honestly the way Sylvester reads this, you really think this speech was actually written for 7. It’s so good considering he was doing it at a random convention with no real practice.
I remember hearing once from a professional voice actor that the good actod is the one who takes words written by someone else and makes them his.
The Seventh Doctor would have had a plan. That man has more plans than Batman.
+Crowley9 Maybe he is batman!
+Lou Gagliardi Nah...unlike Three, Seven doesn't do martial arts.
OrangeKyle91 No, but he's got the thinking skils and the manipulation.
Lou Gagliardi True, but for Batman, the thinking skills and manipulation are heavily supplemented by an uncanny ability to beat people senseless.
How would he have a plan and 11 doesn't???
I've never heard the phrase "I don't have anything to lose", sound so much like a threat before.
I love his accent on "Pandorica." Sylvester McCoy is simply amazing.
pandawlica
Pandorrrrrrrrica
i love the sinister edge he puts in at the end
Agreed--McCoy's doctor often had that dark edge just under the surface. It wasn't quite the "fury of the Time Lord" (to borrow from "The Family of Blood"). It was...cold.
I met him today
McCoy said that they were slowly building up to his Doctor becoming more darker and that, had he done a fourth season, they would've shown more of his evil side.
@@timrob12 Search YT for Doctor Who Afterlife for a taste of just how friggin' sinister 7 really is. I loved it.
@@Interfector0 Is that an audio play or a fanfilm?
Considering that McCoy is doing a cold read, I think he did an awesome job. I do think that we have to keep in mind, the speech was written for Matt, for the personality that he brings to the Doctor, for his way of speaking. If Sylvester puts a slightly different emphasis on the speech, it's because his style is different.
And yet it somehow feels like it was written for seven. Just good writing for The Doctor, I guess
COLD READ?? This feels rehearsed!
You know, this is the only alternative Pandorica speech that might be better than Smith's original.
Aleander Defenitely
Aleander nothing beats smith's original
Aleander i disagree.
Lina Smith WRONG.
**in the 7th doctors voice** WRONG
if you know 7, you know this so him
+Timothy Goldman more like, "IF WE FIGHT LIKE ANIMALS, WE DIIIIIIIIEEEEE LIKE ANIMAAAAALS!!!!
+Attention Deficet Hyperactive Director POWERFUL! CRUSH THE LESSER RACES! CONQUER THE GALAXY! UNIMAGINABLE POWER, UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING! ET CETERA, ET CETERA!
except Seven is probably lying about not having a plan
@@paweldembowski Oh, DEFINITELY. But then again, the Doctor lies. And there is always a plan.
It's incredible that this was on a dime at a convention, no rehearsal or anything. He did a remarkable job.
My impossible wish would be for each of the classic Doctor actors from their prime to have a series in the style of nu-who, coz imagine them with a modern production and murray gold
Those rolling R's... PANDORRRRICA! RRREMEMBER!
Also, the way Smith said it it was not quite clear where the punctuation, but I kind of preferred this sentence:
"Oh, and something else I don't have: Anything! To! Lose!"
to this:
"Oh, and something else: I don't have anything to lose!"
Favourite speeches from 7th:
Afterlife: "Fear me..."
Curse of Fenric: "Kill Her..."
Remembrance: "Unlimited rice pudding..." + "Every great decision..."
Happiness Patrol: "You like guns, don't you?" + "Do these things make you happy?"
Dragonfire: "The homeless traveller and his old police box..."
Battlefield: "Machines of death..."
Survival: "There are worlds out there..."
Can't include Pandorica as it's 11th's, with Sylvester being his crowd pleasing self - but if he was doing a televised version (instead of a cold-read), I know it would be perfect.
I think what gets me is even though it was at a convention, and a blind reading McCoy is full on Seventh Doctor here. He's powerful, manipulative, dark and ready for action.
I've heard 12th Doctor ones, War Doctor ones, and 9th doctor. this is the best besides smiths.
He just totally owns it! Just becomes the Seventh Doctor as soon as he starts reading :)
I guess this is what the Moff meant when he said that you write for all the Doctors exactly the same...
He was given this speech at the end of his first panel at the 2011 Dragoncon...He had no time to practice it...He just read it once to himself and did it...It was so cool!!!
I love how both Doctors can make this sound absolutely brilliant but in completely different ways
This is one of the reasons why I think Sylvester McCoy could still play the role with a decent wig or a dye job and a sturdier umbrella to use as a cane.
If they got McCoy and/or Sophie to cameo in any shape or form in present Who, I would squee like a little girl, much like I did when I first saw the flying Dalek in Rememberance (the first ever episode I ever saw as a kid). To think the era/McCoy got so much flak due to the decline at the time. It's nice to see him get some appreciation all these years later. I don't think many people understand just how much McCoy/Sophie/Cartmel influenced what is now called "NewWho".
@@RopeDrink How'd you take to Power of the Doctor?
This speech suits him very well. I can picture him actually saying it in his series. LOL.
"But bad news everyone" - best line of this speech when Sylvester reads it.
He sounds so goofy in the beginning (typical 7) but that last line delivers menace that not even Matt Smith could quite pull off in this speech. Bravo Sylvester!
Seven probably would have launched the Pandorica into the sky and blasted all the ships out of existence after that speech.
You think I would let you have control over the Pandorica?!
Dalek: **all taterted** That trap was meant for you by the way.
He would've tricked them into taking it & blowing themselves up with it.
The last part - "Let somebody else try first." gave me chills down my spine
He out-speeches Matt Smith.
An impossible task and yet he did it.
Not quite.
Darth TARDIS. Pretty good for a cold read, but yeah. He doesn't out-Matt Smith Matt Smith.
@@AmaranthOriginal its not meant ro be matt
When he says "Let someone else try first..." It gives me chills....dang McCoy, you scary.
The Seventh Doctor is the best Classic Doctor :D
He's my second favourite ol Sixey is at the top
*claps slowly* *tears up* *claps faster* best thing I herd so far
So chilling. I love McCoy's Doctor
McCoy is the best Doctor
I wish I'd seen this happen in person! I was there at the con but missed this presumably amazing event. He is perfect doing this. He and the Eleventh Doctor are so good at being mean.
The fact that he seemlessly goes from jovial to threatening is fantastic
I know people keep arguing over things like 'I can imagine 4 doing this' or 'I can imagine 1 doing this', but I think this is one of those rare moments in Doctor Who where the personalities of all the Doctors comes together. I can imagine every doctor performing this speech and owning it in their own way.
Out of all the Pandorica speeches done by anyone else other than Smith, McCoy did it the best especially considering that he did this on a dime! I love McGann's Big Finish performance, but his convention speeches are a bit dry considering that he has no prep time to prepare. The same goes for Peter Davison
As for Colin Baker, I would love to here his rendition of the Pandorica speech as he can whip up a great last read speech read like McCoy
The seriousness tone of voice means he’s dead serious without the need to emphasize, cold I like it
I can just see this happening so well, another part has me sees this happening as well and i can't get it out of my head.
Shortly after making the speech, and the various ships fly off.
Doc "Right, that should keep them busy for a bit, now, lets see how things are going downstairs" starts heading into the bunker whilst talking on the communicator "River, how's it going with getting my tardis here"?
River "On my way sweetie, this consoles just not one I'm used to, what do half of these controls do by the way"?
Doc "I'm still trying to work out what my fifth incarnation was thin- Ace, why did you have to go and do that"?
Ace "It's just a precaution professor, always good to have a backup you say"
River "What's happening sweetie? trouble"
Doc "Not exactly, ill get back to you" shuts off the communicator "Precautions, Ace, entail a fail safe that disables a device before it becomes a threat, covering the device in nitro nine does not fall into the category of safe"! and he was right, the amount of explosives on the Pandorica, if indeed it had come to setting them off, would have not only destroyed the device, but also stone henge, and a small amount of the country side in the process.
+Dwain Dibbly Now you have me wondering how River and the Seventh Doctor would interact with each other...
rrrrrrrrrrremember haha love all the doctors but sylvester mcoy has got to be a favourite
> The 10th Doctor admired his 5th incarnation greatly (Time Crash)
> Matt Smith's favourite Doctor was Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor
> The 11th Doctor (going by 10's reaction before regenerating) seems to have admired his 10th incarnation even more. :)
Sylvester McCoy is a fucking legend
McCoy might be the best actor of all the Doctors. He could take any of the others' scenes and make it his.
I can see this scene playing out a lot more menacingly, without the bombastic music but with an eerie undertown as he single handedly strikes fear into an army of spaceships.
"No plan". Yeah, sure, that sounds believable. 7th Doctor without a plan.
7 sometimes claims not to have a plan, but he's usually lying.
He had everyone at the end Silver Nemesis believing he'd given up when in fact he was just setting up the Cybermen for destruction & Lady Peinforte for becoming one with Nemesis. Seven may always have a plan, but he's very good at making everyone believe he doesn't.
I love both versions!
Personally though, what I find to be the best difference of them all was how little emphasis Sylvester puts on the "I am talking".
Matt's was great, but McCoy shows how he doesn't have to be loud, but the Doctor wants those aliens to stop whizzing about, and still gets the attention, because after all, this is the Doctor, they may be out to get him, but maybe it would be worth erring on the side of caution and doing what he says.
I went watched the original with the audio muted and this playing, and he landed it almost beat for beat. (mind, the editing was vague enough to mean there were basically only 3 really important zooms/beats etc,. but still) It was a REALLY cool experience to see this scene from a different doctor's perspective.
This speech fits 'Time's Champion' really well
that is every shade of awesome i can possibly imagine... as well as a few new ones that were just discovered.
My favorite Doctor performing one of the more epic moments of the new series?
AWESOME!
Sylvester McCoy was an amazing Doctor. I actually met him once too!
Seven could broadcast this to an empty sky - the universe! As a _threat._
I just did this with my friends, we had a contest to see who would be the best at doing the speech, and I won!!!!! This is a very good speech, I just love how they all just turned away after it was done!!!!
There's a very chilling quality to McCoy's delivery.
I love the seventh doctor.. He was dark and always knew how to play the game.. This is my favorite version of this speech.. Its playful then he gets dark
Oh lord I wish Moffat could have written stuff for Mccoy, those two just match eachother so well.
I got chills there…
I'm sorry but only Matt can do this justice
Not really, even if Matt had rehearsals and such it's not in his Character's nature
Skylar Lee Sylvester had a much darker doctor than Matt's. I'm pretty sure if Sylv was given the conditions Matt had, it would be just as amazing as it is different, for each of the doctor's incarnations has their own persona.
Also, you must not speak to large crowds all that often because anyone who does is aware and would respectfully admit that there is a stark contrast between impromptu and rehearsed. Moreso when being compared between an amateur recording and a fully produced and well budgeted season finale.
Skylar Lee
Understandably, it's all fine if you still say Matt can only do this speech justice, that could probably still be true. But do remember, it was tailored for Matt and his doctor, made exclusively and primarily for him.
So to be fair to both actors. Imagine Matt recited a speech, written and composed for Sylvester's doctor, on the spot, first time, with only a piece of script in his hands. You spoke of 'Character's nature', how do you think Matt would fare? A compassionate and loving doctor, who puts the lives of his companions above concerns belonging to tremendous scales (the fate of the universe even!) and who is also willing to die alongside with them, reciting the speech of a manipulative and shrewd doctor who sees his friends and enemies like pieces on a chessboard, taking into account only the bigger picture, the struggle between good and evil, and deceives and lies to his companions if necessary to achieve a favored result. Seventh was treated with disdain and dislike by most, if not all, of the classic doctors (based on certain episodes, books, and comics). 11th, compared to the new series doctors 10 and 11, is unarguably softer (much softer if compared to 10) than his predecessors (based on series and printed sources).
Boz Paul Suaybaguio If the 7th Doctor was there i very much doubt the races could even get him into the padorica unless he actually wanted them to.
The 7th was a plotter he plan ahead and rarely allow events to happen, unless he had already made sure that things where in place to have things go as he wanted.
Just like in Light At the End
Cyperleader: Seal the Pandorica!
_(the Pandorica starts closing)_
Seventh Doctor: I can see you are not interested in talking, then. Oh, well. Still... _(the Pandorica suddenly stops closing)_ I though you might like I to know that I figured out this little trrrap of yours out, say, five hours ago, and took my prrrecautions.
Cyperleader: ...What?
Seventh Doctor: See, it's quite interesting, really. People tend to think that recalibrating a statis chamber into a teleporter would be impossible, but if the chamber's hardware is the cheap kind and you have the know how, it can be can done in a trice.
Dalek: STOP THE DOCTOR BEFORE-
Seventh Doctor: Verrry chatty all of a sudden, arrren't you? Sorry, but as much as I'd like to stay, I can't. There's a universe to save, so I'm really rather busy right now. _(waves sarcastically)_ Byeee! _(teleports away)_
That comment made my day. And it's so true. :D
Dalek: CRAP
I love this soooo much!!!! I was there when he did this and it was soooo epic!
What I love about this series is that why all the actors who played the Doctor had very different approaches to the character, at the end of the day anyone of those actors could say this speech or any of the of the other great Doctor speeches and it would still feel like the same character.
it will now be my life's goal to hear all the doctors give this speech.
great to hear, McCoy and the others are the reason the new series can do these kind of speeches, the doctor is a badass.
I really wanna listen to some of those Big Finish productions now
Do it. Give in to your Doctor.
Id like to hear Peter Davison perform this
He's more of a breathy quiet type
I love that he did this, and I quite agree that I'd love to hear the other Doctors try it...imagining Tom Baker or Colin Baker especially giving this speech rather blows the mind.
That said, I don't think anything could top the original speech :D
The speech really suits the 7th Doctor well
The most diabolical Doctor doing this speech is actually much much more convincing that he would win despite the odds as compared to any other of his incarnations.
Imagine this scene with 7, the campness of his era, the congregation of all the monsters and aliens he faced. Would be grand. I can vividly see it.
I prefer this take on the Pandorica speech, but prefer Smiths reading of the Akhaten Speech...
I picture him sitting in a desk with his hat hiding his eyes and saying this into a mic while his face is on a giant screen. Then when he says Guess who he leans forward with the cocky little smile. Little hand motions when he talks. When he says lose I picture him leaning forward with a smirk. Then as it goes on, the smile fades and it turns more serious until finally he's just glaring and leaning totally forward. Then at the very end of the speech when the space ships are gone he smirks again.
I love Sylvester McCoy so much. He practically carried the show in the late eighties.
This gave me chills 😮
I wish he had somehow managed to fit in “unlimited rice pudding” here 😆
The way he says "let someone else try first" is just chilling.
Genuinely, shivers went down my spine.
Nice! :) I so do miss Sylvester portraying the Doctor... Sadly missed! More please! :)
Purely amazing! Good old Sylvester, even though I am 16 years old he was my first doctor
How so?
+Unknown my dad had all the videos of the previous doctors, so when I was little we were always watching them :)
Fran TheGal Oh that's nice.
@all13Doctors You're probably right. After all, this speech fit Matt Smith to a tee. He hit every note just right in that speech. I love watching the 2010 Proms version of the speech with the Cybermen, Cylerians, and vampire girls watching the Doctor, then leaving along with the others on the screen as the music crescendos!
It's the same man. So deep down during this speech was 7 talking
Seven would have had a plan. He's always one step ahead of everyone, never lets on more than he knows, and he never tells anyone what he knows
I said that judging on the Doctor's reaction while regenerating into 11. It was evident he admired his 10th incarnation fondly therefore his next incarnation would obviously admire it a lot.
Sylvester McCoy is seriously a lot better than Smith at this
rrrrremeber every dark day I stopped you
Sly was MADE for this
I can imagine 4th doing this. Would be great to hear. There are many aspects to the Doctor, and the over-excited goon is definitely a part of him.
i now wonder how it would sound like if the 10th doctor and 9th doctor did this speech...there should be audio voices of them saying the speech...just for epicness
/watch?v=YXvTgaAFb1g You're welcome :)
I really can't see Nine or Ten doing this speech. Six would be great.
+Doctor Who Fan I disagree. Nine could definitely pull it off, albeit with very different tone and inflection from the original. He'd alternate between goofiness and tranquil fury.
"Hello, Stonehenge!" *waves, grins* "Who takes the Pandorica takes the universe!"
*suddenly darker and slower* "But bad news, everyone. 'Cos guess who."
*goofy* "Ha! Listen, you lot. You're all whizzin' about, and it's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still for a minute, because..."
*darker* "I am talking."
*goofy again* "Now, the question of the hour is: who's got the Pandorica? Answer: I do! Next question..."
*darker* "Who's comin' to take it from me?"
*loud, crazy* "Come on! Look at me! No plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn..."
*goofy* "Oh, and something else I don't have..."
*darker* "...Anything to lose."
*goofy* So, if you're sittin' up there in your silly little spaceships, with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on takin' the Pandorica tonight..."
*darker* Just remember who's standin' in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you. And then...and then...do the smart thing: let someone else try first."
+OrangeKyle91 ya
On the note of 'Big Finish' you might like to know that they've confirmed a special multi-Doctor audiobook titled 'The Light At The End' and it feature's the 4th to 8th Doctors to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
How cool would it be to have every Doctor say this speech.
I liked the delivery of "I don't have anything to lose."
This is a version of this episode I would love to see.
McCoy was my Doctor and will always be my Doctor. Also, without Ace we would not have had Rose. As for who likes who best in the actors: Matt took his cue from Patrick Troughton ... Frazer Hines recognises most of Troughton's quirks in Matt's performance. Interestingly, McCoy ALSO took his cue from 2 and played like the Clown until the moment got tough. I can see some of McCoy in the Eleventh Doctor's performance.
my favourite doctor in classic who
McCoy serrriously does it better!
Sylvester McCoy always had the great Righteous Indignation speech voice.
Nice to hear the real Doctor reading it.
Did always love Silversters darker more narcissistic tone as The Doctor, I'm pretty young but Remembrance of the Daleks will always be one of my favourite episodes, 7th Doctor is what I'd imagine a TimeLord to be mysterious, cunning, narcissistic, emotionless, looks down on others kinda aristocratic stiff upper lip pfft tone. And Silverster nails that at times.
This speech was written for Seven....Eleven was just channeling him during that speech....
It doesn't sound as epic as the 11th speech but it sure doesn't lack the goosebumps
Now this is AMAZING
He'd just burst out crying midway through.
YES GO FOR IT MAN
Indeed it is, this was done at a convention.
Just as epic with McCoy. That´s why he´s one of my favorite Doctor´s.
@DoctorDragonball Guessed that, but totally agree. A multidoctor story is really the only thing fitting for the 50th anniversary, but Christopher Eccleston has already said that he isn't too keen about returning for it, like Tom Baker, but Tom Baker said that he would prefer a cameo rather than play a major role in the story, and I think Eccleston would be similarly minded, so I think that the only way we could get Eccleston in would be to have McGann regenerate into him
