Tbh, I find the Second Doctor's regeneration to be more haunting and eerie than the rest of the Doctors. Sure, the Seventh was shot by group of gangsters and then his body was fucked up by Medical Doctors who didn't understand Time Lord biology, and so one. But the Second Doctor is essentially being executed by his *own* people.
@@DavidLopez-up3qm the Second Doctor went on missions for the Time Lords (e.g. The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors) before being forced to regenerate by animated scarecrows, so that's possibly even more messed up when you learn that he was used as a tool, in the same way the Master was used as a tool by Rassilon in The End Of Time.
The Brigadier was never a companion. He was a friend and ally of the Doctor ever since the Doctor's second persona. He's also my favorite character in all of Doctor Who.
pytko3 And you don't consider that a Companion? He may have never actually travelled with him, but I'd say given all he's done with and for the Doctor, that he's actually more of a Companion than most of his TARDIS mates.
Koba My Dad was sad when he had to regenerate (third Doctor) But hey! At least he enjoyed Tome Baker too, and I teared up a bit when David Regenerated, but then an cool and awesome Doctor came afterwards to replace the legendary David to heal us all from the pain of David leaving
I remember at the time being devastated that Pertwee would no longer be the Doctor and thought the show could never be as good again, then Tom Baker turns up and the rest is history...
This is honestly, the saddest regeneration for me. The Doctor is tired, about to die and is completely exhausted. He just collapses and seemingly dies mid-sentence. The modern regenerations had build up while this feels sudden and gut wrenching.
First thing Third Doctor does. Fall flat on his face after coming out of the Tardis. Last thing Third Doctor does. Fall flat on his face after coming out of the Tardis. Somehow still manages to be one of the best Doctors of them all.
@@jamesline5103 couldn't agree more 1 - 4 doctors was Pinnacle it lost its magic after that, 2,3,4,1 in that order for me, 3 and 4 pretty neck and neck but 4 seems to be most favourites
@@John-uf8nt Pertwee is my favourite, although Troughton might be the best actor. Baker is great too but I never thought he outshined his 3 predecessors. Everybody after Baker suffered from John Nathan Turner. Davison had no gravitas or credibility as somebody smarter than the humans. Came across as a slightly unimpressed school teacher. The scripts also got worse. People say Caves of Androzani (last Davison story) was good but I thought it dragged on. It dragged despite superficially moving faster and having more action.
Great acting from Pertwee before the regeneration also when talking to his old mentor and realising that everything was his fault and realising he had to die because of his actions. Very sad.
'The Tardis brought me home' :'( after spending the majority of his regeneration resenting being kept on earth... Can't think of any other Doctor that came to see earth as his home.
Tom Baker may have been the first to be seen far and wide Stateside, thanks to PBS, but Pertwee's arcs were the first to be partially syndicated here. They were seen in Philly on WPHL 17 for a year or two, including a color copy of "The Daemons." Baker was there for seven seasons, while the average stay has been three. Who knows how long Pertwee would have been there without Delgado's death or the crew shakeup. He might have been just as much a fan favorite here. By the way, good luck Sean with "Gotham."
Out of all the regenerations that have occurred through the years. This definitely had the least amount of special effects with the face change. Also its an interesting note how the first, seven regenerations were very inconsistent compared to one another. It wasn't until the modern series did we see the glowing orange gas regeneration effects.
I think the lack of special effects from 3 to 4 may be partially due to their similar heights and that Tom Baker sort of looked like a young Jon Pertwee at the time.
Please, no regeneration scene is complete without a levitating monk explaining the process with his high-pitch voice. And 11th didn't have THAT, DID HE?
The monk K'ampo Roche was a character in Planet of the Spiders who was a friend of The Doctor's. He, if I remember right was a renegade Time Lord with the ability to project himself. Earlier in the episode, he had an assistant called Cho je (I think that was the spelling) and when he regenerated, it turned out Cho je was a projection of his next incarnation, so he effectively regenerated into Cho je. Hence Sarah Jane's line about him looking like Cho je but actually being K'ampo Roche. It sure is confusing if you haven't seen or read about the rest of the episode but then again the scene was originally designed to be played with the rest of the footage in the episode so it would've been clearer for original viewers.
Oh God....the 'Please don't die' gets me more now than ever. Especially now that noone in this scene is now with us. I should now quote Sarah's speech from School Reunion re- everything having it's time...
Can't even express how much I love Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. One of the best DW characters ever created. How I wish he could reappear in the new series!
which is why someone, some channel needs the re-run the classic series from beginning to end... so the new fans can see what was missed, and the old fans can remember what was... as well as cringe uncontrollably at the old "FX' ;)
Hurts me more than anything in the revived series - I still love the 9th through 12th/13th Doctors, but I love the lack forced-down-your-throat emotion of the classics.
+George Reid There are very few emotional scenes in the classics to be fair. I love (not really) how you call Chris 9th, but Capaldi 12th/13th. Like wtf? If you are going on the whole "13th" thing (he's still 12th) than say 10th for 9th.
Ionut Maris Your need to spell out your sarcasm is somewhat endearing. The mention of the 13th was a gentle stab at people who argue over numbers (as I seem to have attracted already it seems), I consider the Doctors as 1-12 then the War Doctor.
Elisabeth Sladen grew her hair longer to look younger after Tom Baker took over. She was somewhat frumpier with Jon Pertwee, most likely to contrast her against Jo Grant.
Having grownup in the 70s watching Jon Pertwee playing The Doctor for so many years, at first I found it hard to accept Tom Baker, or losing Jon. When I first saw the The Ark in Space (1977 Australia) I was well and truly sold on Tom Baker!
As a child of 1969 I got Pertwee and Baker; I'll always consider Baker MY doctor but I do have huge affection for Pertwee, especially as I loved Worzel Gummidge 😊
PLANET OF THE SPIDERS, ROBOT & ARK IN SPACE watched back-to-back, is an incredible experience. The culture shock must have been amazing for 1974-75 WHO fans as the program transitioned from Barry Letts & Terrance Dicks to Philip Hinchcliffe & Robert Holmes. POTS has its flaws, but most of the story is a very good 3rd Dr tale and it's sad to see his era end. ROBOT is a charming child-friendly 3rd Dr story introducing the 4th Dr. ARK IN SPACE is off the deep end Adult Sci-Fi.
This show's television life was surely extended by many years and its fan-base expanded ten-fold starting with this historic event seen at the end of this clip. By far, the greatest and most naturally gifted Doctor who will ever exist on screen. Mr Tom Baker. The Fourth Doctor. The best Doctor. The only Doctor.
As a child I remember this so vividly!... It has followed me down through years as have so many other pivotal moments in Doctor Who history. Life is .... a funny thing
T. Baker was brilliant, and for all his brilliance, Pertwee summed him up so plainly in The Five Doctors as 'teeth and curls' I have always enjoyed that description (while Baker described Pertwee as the human lightbulb). Sarah Jane and the Doctor could have married at the end of Hand of Fear, I don't think now I would have minded one bit. I love watching this now, and thinking, as Robot was the first Doctor Who episode I saw in the states, that the Doctor was an eccentric scientist and Harry and Sarah were his 'Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane' tho I never was sure why Brig had such a casual reaction to the tardis disappearing at the end of that story. What a fool I was.
oh my gosh madame vastra says the same thing as brigadier when the doctor regenerated into the twelfth. "here we go again." and in 'the christmas invasion,' rose asks what the doctor's going to do, and he says, "back to the tardis." rose says, "on your own?" they say the same thing to each other at the end of 'doomsday.' i love it when doctor who has connections like this!
i am new to this show. was it common for one doctor to meet another doctor in the same episode? why was it done? why have a different doctor come in on another doctor's season? thanks
Farrah Falaux this was uncommon, so when it did happen it was always an exciting moment and normally done in celebration of an anniversary. watch the episodes "the 3 drs" "the 5 drs" "the 2 drs" or "the day of the dr" they're the main multi dr stories, as for why it was done. the dr's a time traveller, so on rare special occasions a situation arises in which he goes back in time and has his predecessors help him out
Elisabeth Kelley I honestly have an issue with Madam Vastra saying "Here we go again" at the start of Deep Breath. Because for 1, she's never seen any other Doctor before Matt Smith so how can she have added any weight to the words "Here we go again"? Second, we know the Doctor hasn't met Vastra before his 11th self because he is totally unfamiliar with this version of the Silurians before then and seems very surprised that they also look like that. So he can't have met Vastra before his 11th self or he'd know what to expect when he removed that Silurians mask. Three, since she's never actually been present for a regeneration her words still make less sense considering she's never see a Doctor change before. The reason the lines worked for the Brigadier was because first he was familiar with 2, then 2 regenerated into 3 and the Brig met 3 just after regeneration and though skeptical that this man was the Doctor accepted that it was the same man also having worked with the man through his post regeneration trauma. Then 3 becomes 4 and he says "Here we go again" meaning he has to get used to the Doctors new face, new personality but also likely have to cope with him through his regeneration trauma, again. That's why cutting and pasting the line, though cute, really makes no sense on any level at all. Plus my biggest gripe of all with it is that all it serves to do is to take away from the Brigadier saying the line where its in a place that makes much more sense and has much more impact.
Good thing that Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was calm when he & Sarah Jane saw K'anpo appear right in front of them to come help save the Doctor by helping him enter his 4th incarnation after collapsing out of the TARDIS at UNIT HQ.
Aww, Elizabeth Sladen 😊 I found out she had passed while I was watching The Sarah Jane Adventures a few years ago and was crushed. Really enjoyed that show, and her acting here is superb as well.
Jon Pertwee was the Doctor when I was a kid and he was my favorite. The one storyline I remember the most was when the Doctor went to this like industrial factory type of place and there was some kind of green ooze leaking from the pipes and anybody who touched this green ooze turned into some kind of wild werewolf creature.
tom baker had a great run as the doctor. episodes like the pyramids of mars.the hand of eldrad(don't hate me,just can't remember the title) the key to time. and the e-space episodes..many others i'm sure i missed. props to tom baker for his time as the doctor.
hellshade2 Tom had some cracking stories during his run, my faves =The horror of Fang rock, Pyramids of Mars, Genesis of the Daleks, The robots of death, The face of evil, Image of the Fhendal, City of death, The talons of Weng Chiang and Planet of Evil.
If Mike Yates was still a member of UNIT when the Doctor fell out of the TARDIS due to the cells in his body damaged by the Metebelis crystals,he would‘ve been surprised.
Elisabeth, Jon & Nicolas... wonderful actors. All were great people in real life. I hope I can meet them when it is my turn to enter the next realm of existance.
K'Anpo must've sensed that the Doctor collapsed after he returned to Earth in the TARDIS,hence he transported himself to UNIT Headquarters to help his former student enter his 4th incarnation in front of Sarah Jane Smith & Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart,who neglected to mention to Sarah that he once saw all 3 incarnations of the Doctor at the same time during the fight against Omega while the Doctor was still marooned on Earth,though he defeated Omega,saved the Universe and got his exile lifted after his 2 previous selves were returned to their rightful places in time and space.
Jon Pertwee starts his reign collapsing out of the Tardis and ends his reign collapsing out of the Tardis
At least he died amongst friends, I still don't want to think about poor Two....

Yes it is sad. I sat with Nicholas Courtney & his wife at a brunch at a small convention and they were both very nice & interesting people.
Katy Manning still alive
@@mark-shane That's true but Katy Manning isn't in this clip.
Time stops for no man or woman, unless you're a timelord
Am I the only one who thinks the Brigadier totally stole this scene with all his deadpan sarcasm? Best male companion ever.
Oh, I totally agree! He could so more with one look than most could with a paragraph of dialogue!
*Tibetan lama materializes in room*
-_- "Won't you introduce me to your friend, Miss Smith?"
The Brigadier was never a companion. He was a friend and ally of the Doctor ever since the Doctor's second persona. He's also my favorite character in all of Doctor Who.

When it comes to male companions I have two favourites I can't decide between, Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart and Captain Jack Harkness
"You may find his behavior quite....erratic." Oh Tom..
"You may find his behaviour somewhat... erratic"
Really.
Paul Bottomley Yes, really
Paul Bottomley The Fourth Doctor was quite an erratic fellow, wasn't he?
Paul Bottomley you don't say...
As far as understaments go, this was a huge understatement
Paul Bottomley No kidding lol
a awesome doctor dies and a legendary doctor is born.

But hey! At least he enjoyed Tome Baker too, and I teared up a bit when David Regenerated, but then an cool and awesome Doctor came afterwards to replace the legendary David to heal us all from the pain of David leaving
Both legends. Great for different reasons.
“The” legendary Doctor
All Doctors are legendary.
I was sad when Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors left
I remember at the time being devastated that Pertwee would no longer be the Doctor and thought the show could never be as good again, then Tom Baker turns up and the rest is history...

I got chills from reading this it is a really sad scene
Jon begins falling
Jon ends falling.

Some Girl42 Jon stands!
Reminds me of how Peter Capaldi started and ended with the eye close-ups.
Jon Pertwee. Tom Baker. Nicholas Courtney. Elizabeth Sladen. 4 of Doctor Who's great actors in one scene. Amazing!
I love the Brigadier's reaction, "Well, here we go again." Wonderfully baize in extraordinary times.
Baize?
@@markfox1545 *blasé
I always find it funny that in this shot Baker could pass off as a younger version of Pertwee.
Lol
It was just the angle the shots were taken that produces that illusion. But yes it does kind of appear that way in this scene.
Speaking of Doctor actors who could pass as different-aged versions of other Doctor actors, Tennant and Capaldi.
It's also funny how Tom looks more like Jon nowadays.
Same could be said for Troughton and Hartnell.
First thing Third Doctor does. Fall flat on his face after coming out of the Tardis.
Last thing Third Doctor does. Fall flat on his face after coming out of the Tardis.
Somehow still manages to be one of the best Doctors of them all.
Troughton, Pertwee, baker, Hartnell, in that order for me, to this day never enjoyed any of the others

It dragged despite superficially moving faster and having more action.
The good old films, where actors actually fall to the ground, instead of falling out of the screen
Yeah, and you can't find proper levitating monks with a high-pitched voice these days, either...!
um they still do...
People still fall in films lol and that was clearly a stunt double
Jon Pertwee & Tom Baker
Are the best Drs
Agreed
Agreed
Jon Pertwee was far superior in my opinion
Agreed, but I'd add Patrick Troughton too.
I HAVE TO CONCEED, THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT!
Jon Pertwee takes a hell of a fall 01:05 onto a solid floor in that scene.
Ouchie, he had to have had a rough time.
he got pwned
sonic BOOM!
The8thDOCTOR it's surprisingly easy to do without hurting yourself, all depends on how you fall

Pertwee, Courtenay and Sladen. Wonderful actors. RIP, all three of you. And thank you, for everything you leave behind for us.

One of the saddest scenes in the series. Jon Pertwee's acting was good.
Great acting from Pertwee before the regeneration also when talking to his old mentor and realising that everything was his fault and realising he had to die because of his actions. Very sad.
Tom Baker was my favourite doctor. He was so masterful in his execution and so diverse in his expression. He was briiliant.
Best regeneration story ever. The part were Pertwee realises he's out of time and acknowledge his mistakes are beautiful.
1:40 so sad R.I.P Elizabeth Sladen .
'The Tardis brought me home' :'( after spending the majority of his regeneration resenting being kept on earth... Can't think of any other Doctor that came to see earth as his home.

MrDalek2150 the noses of tom and Jon are very similar.
Probably one of my favourite regeneration scenes. Actually feels like a real death.
And everyone complained about 11's regeneration...
Please, no regeneration scene is complete without a levitating monk explaining the process with his high-pitch voice. And 11th didn't have THAT, DID HE?
Daniel Parejo
He destroyed a Dalek Ship with his regenerative energy.
The Third Doctor didn't do that, DID HE?
***** Indeed he didn't, haha
(In case it wasn't clear, Smith to Capaldi regeneration is my favourite ^^)
***** Let me see... Which is more awesome? Destroying dalek ship or high pitched monk. HIGH PITCHED MONK

My favourite Doctor regeneration, as Jon Pertwee is my favourite doctor. I love of how he comforted Sarah Jayne in his last moments.

This was a brilliant series - it remains one of my favorites of all time.

jhibbitt1 oh, very good, thank you very much
Elisabeth Kelley I honestly have an issue with Madam Vastra saying "Here we go again" at the start of Deep Breath.
Because for 1, she's never seen any other Doctor before Matt Smith so how can she have added any weight to the words "Here we go again"?
Second, we know the Doctor hasn't met Vastra before his 11th self because he is totally unfamiliar with this version of the Silurians before then and seems very surprised that they also look like that. So he can't have met Vastra before his 11th self or he'd know what to expect when he removed that Silurians mask.
Three, since she's never actually been present for a regeneration her words still make less sense considering she's never see a Doctor change before.
The reason the lines worked for the Brigadier was because first he was familiar with 2, then 2 regenerated into 3 and the Brig met 3 just after regeneration and though skeptical that this man was the Doctor accepted that it was the same man also having worked with the man through his post regeneration trauma. Then 3 becomes 4 and he says "Here we go again" meaning he has to get used to the Doctors new face, new personality but also likely have to cope with him through his regeneration trauma, again.
That's why cutting and pasting the line, though cute, really makes no sense on any level at all. Plus my biggest gripe of all with it is that all it serves to do is to take away from the Brigadier saying the line where its in a place that makes much more sense and has much more impact.
TimeLordParadox That's Moffat for you.
I was 9, loved Sarah Jane, bless her, RIP x
I cried and cried after watching this on VHS. Nobody explained how the Doctor regenerates 😔
Kind of wish the show found a way to get Jo Grant to come back even for a few minutes for Pertwee's final farewell scene.
jon pertwee my first doctor :)
He may be a little erratic. Most underrated sentence in the history of Tom Bakers run.
Like the Brigadier said. Hear we go again.
"Oh, Doctor. Why did you have to go back?...🥺"
Absolutely brilliant, the second best doctor ever turns into the first best.
He's actually shedding tears if you look at him closely. Well at least I think he is...
I just love the Brigadier, "Well, here we go again." 🤣
Good thing that Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was calm when he & Sarah Jane saw K'anpo appear right in front of them to come help save the Doctor by helping him enter his 4th incarnation after collapsing out of the TARDIS at UNIT HQ.
The best moment in Doctor Who History, The Tom Baker era.
Always a tear when I see this . A great doctor a great miss .
This was depressing. I remember it. The end of the best ever Doctor Who.
Thanks for posting this video. Brilliant.
Aww, Elizabeth Sladen 😊 I found out she had passed while I was watching The Sarah Jane Adventures a few years ago and was crushed. Really enjoyed that show, and her acting here is superb as well.
Jon Pertwee was the Doctor when I was a kid and he was my favorite. The one storyline I remember the most was when the Doctor went to this like industrial factory type of place and there was some kind of green ooze leaking from the pipes and anybody who touched this green ooze turned into some kind of wild werewolf creature.
I think you're talking about Inferno. Brilliant story that was
JP arguably best Dr. His son could do cameos and id be all for it
tom baker had a great run as the doctor. episodes like the pyramids of mars.the hand of eldrad(don't hate me,just can't remember the title) the key to time. and the e-space episodes..many others i'm sure i missed.
props to tom baker for his time as the doctor.
hellshade2 Tom had some cracking stories during his run, my faves =The horror of Fang rock, Pyramids of Mars, Genesis of the Daleks, The robots of death, The face of evil, Image of the Fhendal, City of death, The talons of Weng Chiang and Planet of Evil.
Dean P.F
yep i remember those too. great stuff. :)
The Hand of Fear
@@shathriel me too
Beautiful performance by Pertwee here.
If Mike Yates was still a member of UNIT when the Doctor fell out of the TARDIS due to the cells in his body damaged by the Metebelis crystals,he would‘ve been surprised.
after Sarah closes The Doctor's eyes you can see a tear roll down the side of his face :(
Elisabeth, Jon & Nicolas... wonderful actors.
All were great people in real life. I hope I can meet
them when it is my turn to enter the next realm
of existance.
K'Anpo must've sensed that the Doctor collapsed after he returned to Earth in the TARDIS,hence he transported himself to UNIT Headquarters to help his former student enter his 4th incarnation in front of Sarah Jane Smith & Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart,who neglected to mention to Sarah that he once saw all 3 incarnations of the Doctor at the same time during the fight against Omega while the Doctor was still marooned on Earth,though he defeated Omega,saved the Universe and got his exile lifted after his 2 previous selves were returned to their rightful places in time and space.
