Wainwright is one of my favourite one off characters in Doctor Who. He has such a wonderful speech about losing his faith due to the war and how no one benefits from it. His death always makes me sad because he thought he had his faith back when he faced the girls but they twist it on him and he is killed not believing.
Yes, he's brilliant. The late, great Nicholas Parsons, was a perfect choice for the role, and it shows that he was a damn good actor. You believe his character, every word, and it hurts when he's killed.
He's been my favourite one-off DW character since the story aired. An extremely likeable and relatable man, wonderfully acted by the late Nicholas Parsons. It hurts to see him regain his faith, only to have it snatched away by self-doubt when we need it the most. Nicholas was worried that he may not have the gravitas to convey the character, but he absolutely nailed it.

Hes too impulsive. See 5 .40 in video. Dr professor needs to slow down.
I forgot how good the 7th Doctor and Ace were. A real shame that the series got cancelled during their run.
Check out Big Finish, they've got a hundred-odd free episodes, and a fair few featuring Ace and 7.
How is this not everybody else's favourite all time story.... it's incredible.
I don’t like location filming
very slow build up to the whole Ace and the baby reveal compared to the others, much would've preferred "Tales of the Tardis" to have used Battlefield, Remembrance, or Survival instead as a good revisitation on what 7th Doc and Ace were all about.
A wonderfully atmospheric story, with a brooding and unsettling soundtrack. The scene with Wainwright confronting the two Haemovores in the graveyard is straight out of a Hammer film. The late Nicholas Parsons was so good in this.
Couldn't agree more.
To me this is the best story the show has ever produced. It was a bit of everything and its so complex and multilayered: WW2, Soviets, codecracking, vampires, Old ones, Vikings...Not a bad performance and a cracking Resolution to what started on Dragonfire
Facts.
👍👍
Not my absolute favourite, but it's close
CoFenric is still my favourite after all these years. It's 100mins of slow-burning Lovecraftian horror within a wonderful setting, choc full of wonderfully acted characters and spliced with the peak of 7+Ace's complicated arc.
When the priest goes down, it's bloodless but absolutely chilling
I love this story - there are actually factual elements in it, weirdly, and Ingiger (the main Haemovore) is one of the most beautifully realised monsters in the show's history. Nicholas Parsons (R.I.P.), is excellent as the vicar who has lost his faith.
When The Doctor fights off the Haemovores by using his faith in his companions, if you lip read, you can see Sylvester McCoy reciting the names of all of The Doctor's companions, from Susan to Ace. He didn't have to, but he does, and it's awesome, and oddly moving, too.
@@andrewgold-qu1bl - Haemovores are the proto-vampires featured in the story. Those ancient things that emerge from the sea. Long teeth and talons.
I don't believe the name is used in the show, but it is in the Target novelisation, by Ian Briggs. The novelisation, of course, is based on the script.
@@brianartillery "Haemovores" is used repeatedly in the script and it's directly stated that humans will eventually evolve into them - an idea that was rapidly dropped like the live grenade it is. The story makes very little sense, they were brought from the future into the past to help Fenric destroy humans which would actually also destroy the haemovores, all because Fenric lost a chess game against the Doctor... where Earth came into all this is beyond me!
Fenric is now my favorite Dr. Who villain. This clip cements this. My only regret is that I don’t have this season on DVD.
Absolutely incredible story. This honestly feels like the closest we’ll ever get of a Lovecrafian style story of the TV show. While they’re have been much more stories in Novels and Audio actually featuring Lovecraft ideas and creatures.
This one feels more unique and bringing it’s own spin on it. The 7th Doctor. The Chess Master. Time’s Champion. Fighting the literal physical manifestation of Pure Evil itself.
“The Dawn Of Time: The Beginning of All Beginnings! Two forces only Good and Evil. Then Chaos! Time is Born. Matter, Space. The Universe Cries Out like a New Born! The Force’s Shatter, as the Universe Explodes outwards! Only Echos Remain. And yet somehow. Somehow! The Evil Force Survives! An intelligence: Pure Evil!”.
Jason Mistretta I heard of it. But it doesn’t have anything to do with the Lovecraft mythology or Cthulhu Mythos.
@@maxkennedy7430 There was a Big Finish play last month about Lovecraft
Well... Image of the Fendahl... :)
This was part of what was (at the time) called 'The Cartmel Master Plan' (named for newest showrunner Andrew Cartmel) -- he started to portray the Doctor not as a random wandering Bohemian, but, rather, as an ancient being who had had some involvement in the creation/protection of the universe, and who had some millennia-old grand scheme -- you can see hints of it in Battlefield (where the Doctor apparently played 'Merlin' in an alternate-dimension), in Remembrance of the Daleks (where he has been quietly hiding a terrible superweapon, to be used if the Daleks return), and, most clearly, in this Fenric story.
*Ace:* "Professor, what is it with this click below business?
*Doctor:* Oh just say it, Ace! There's a dangeRRRROOUUSSSS new BREEEED of human called MILLEENNIIIAALLLS.
Oy mate, Millenials are out, it's Gen Z now.
One of the most underrated and underappreciated stories of Dr Who!
Best story of Season 26, maybe the whole McCoy era 👏👏👏
These clips are one of the many things that are keeping me entertained in quarantine
Are you actually in quarantine?
Yes
@@mxchimeow Oh I am very sorry to hear that. Two weeks in a hotel?
YO I didn't realize how good this Blueray release was, I was just watching this one again the other night so coming to this, IT'S SO CLEAN!
Out of all of the Doctors, McCoy's was the most mysterious one if all.
THE MUSIC, GUYS!!! MARK AYRES MUSIC!!!
Very repetitif
He did movie soundtracks didn't he?
I agree the musical cues where right on the mark. In fact, most of background music for Sly McCoy's run as the Doctor was phenomenal.
I think curse of fenric was probably the best written story out of all the 7th’s doctor tv run in my opinion that I’ve been able to see and there was good acting involved
The 7th Doctor and Ace were 'the combination'
Cthulhu has awakened, great storyline....H.P. Lovecraft would be proud
@10:10-10:22
In light of the revelation of the Last Great Time War,I have to wonder if this incarnation of the Doctor--and his immediate predecessor--saw what was coming and was doing everything that he could to stop it--destroying Skarro,the Cybermen and course Fenric....
3:36 This is a very psychic paper-ish moment 🤔
Such an incredible story for Sophie and Sylvester. I can't think of another Classic episode that showed such intense acting. McCoy was MY Doctor.
You cut out the best part (the ending where Ace criticizes The Doctor for her psychological abuse)
God this takes me back! Sitting up half the nights just to get all our 'one size fits all' masks finished. lol Good times...
The appropriately-named Nicholas Parsons, playing a clergyman!
Really enjoy these edited episodes.
I think they should have played classic episodes of doctor who during the lockdown. Now THAT would have been amazing, especially for people like me who havent seen many😂❤
Liv 637 would never happen
1 it would only show how bad the new things are now a days
2 its a male lead character in 2020
@@MrAnonimususer Ik, I just meant how fun it would have been to relive the ood episodes when we were all stuck at gone, but yeah you are right.
@@MrAnonimususer naughty white male lead better make him female because it's about time or something
@@MrAnonimususer what’s wrong with a male lead
@@MrAnonimususer no and no. it still would have been fine.
That's eerily appropriate having this uploaded today, I watched the DVD earlier 😄
One of the best episode of all time
We play the relatively recently uploaded clips forming an arguably excellent abridged version of the story again time lord
I'm a big fan of the 7th Doctor and Nicholas Parsons was brilliant as ever.
yep McCoy is so underrated as a Doctor
16:38-16:44
The precise moment you finally realize that you're face-to-face with God.
Ironically I'd say McCoy's final series was his best, considering they cancelled it after. This just had Dr Who written all over it - eeriness! Growing up with Dr Who, for me, what made a good episode wasn't exactly fear, but a sense of unease, that something bad is afoot, but also the reassuring feeling that The Doctor was there to deal with it! Too bad serials like this couldn't save it, and we didn't find out what McCoy's fourth series would have been like!
Thank you so much for both cheering me up and making me feel old. I remember our Dr who fan club at Penn State watching this...31freaking years ago??? No I'm not this old haha
This is better than current TV episodes that don't make much sense.
This is one of the episodes that make the seventh doctor my doctor.
Me too ♥️ Sylvester
Best episode in the franchise
Absolutely brilliant story behind the acting of two great character actors enjoy the world you created
OMG the ending where they brought them back to tell us to subscribe realky is awesome
13:40 i think in that moment, everyone should have had a second of terrified faces before the haemovores broke in
Can't help but find McCoy 🤷kind of endearing ♥
2:43 women actually did do that in WWII Britain. Stockings were in short supply due to the war, so women would draw fake seams on their legs to give the impression that they were wearing stockings!
The seventh doctor was one of the best. 1:15 who gets Jaws vibes ?
Ian Briggs' novelization of this was very good too ,I remember reading it
-Everyting in English, - heavily thick accents - well that’s better then
The soundtrack in this story is just amazing!
Yes, it's composed by Mark Ayres, who did some excellent work on late Who. Shame they didn't do more seasons, as I'd like to have heard more from him.
Little less Stravinsky orchestra hits
@@Reprodestruxion Yes, I've noticed little nods to The Rite of Spring and possibly The Firebird in places.
Imagine if Vampires in Venice had been about the Haemovores rather than Fish from Space
What's a haemovores
@@andrewgold-qu1blIt's the blue Lovecraftian monsters from this episode.
Such an awesome episode
Dinsdale Landen that plays the older Fenrick is absolutely incredible and really brings the performance behond the scary mad villain to a malicious entity which wants revenge after its eternal torment. Dinsdale is definitely up there with Julian Glover as Skaroth from city of death in terms of his performance.
Honestly, all of the prominent side characters were wonderfully acted - Reverend Wainwright, Commander Millington, Doctor Judson, etc - and yes, Landen going from giddy-but-grouchy genius to cold-blooded psycho-god was wonderful. One of my favourite scenes is the death of Nurse Crane, being eaten by Haemovores while Doctor Judson glares right at the camera and smiles like a lunatic.
"Don't interrupt me when I am eulogizing"
I am using that! 🤫
He’s the best Doctor
This edit misses out a bunch of amazing moments but probably due to being so many
My favourite story of all time 😍
I love to retell this story to those who never watched Doctor Who. The moment I mention Vampires from Future they think I made it all up.
I sort of spotted a couple of scenes which must have influenced Stephen Moffatt. The vampires coming out of the water (Vampires of Venice) and the creapy hands enveloping Ace (Heaven Sent). The whole thing had a feel of Lost in Time (SJA but that was RTD's era)
they probably think vampires in Dr Who was an original idea ya have to go way back to "state of Decay" for that
@6:29 One of the most chilling scenes in Doctor Who: "They'll use the machine to decrypt our ciphers. But Dr. Judson has programmed it to self-destruct when it attempts to decode a particular word. And once the political climate is appropriate, we shall include that word in our ciphers."
"And that word is...?"
"What else could it be, Doctor? "Love"."
Fun fact, but it contrasts Wainwright's inability to say the word "love" during his speech at the church, and is also another hint at Millington + Judson's relationship.
I don’t want to watch just in case-Is this a bunch of clips or a shortened down episode cause I’m watching the full episodes (serials)on BRIT BOX
‘Swimming’s stupid.’
- Dorothy ‘Ace’ McShane, 1943
Every time this channel uploads I'm like, "Yay a trailer for Revolution Of The Daleks" But then I'm like, "Nope just another clip." I still enjoy the clips though.
The trailer won't drop, until later this year.
and it won't be as good as this was !
@@nick-jo3hy well I love the current era so it will be good for me
Well I'm sure the bbc will be glad they are making somebody happy. (if you are being serious)
@@nick-jo3hy I am being series bro we have different people and we have different opionions
Ah such an epic show, and a wonderful episode!
@HARRYRANTS or we could just ignore the shitfest that chibs created and enjoy classic who well that's my plan any way
@HARRYRANTS Ah, how can a fictional character ever die? It's just a show, and a man/woman playing the part of a made up person from a faraway planet. And it has gone on for as long as I have lived, and hopefully continue so more people can enjoy " Doctor Who" series, with many incarnations!
@HARRYRANTS I concur, but nothing wrong with a female doctor once in awhile.
@HARRYRANTS Excuse me, but while you are entitled to your own opinion, and maybe they were wrong about making the incarnation a woman. They at least gave it a go, also I was born in 1955 the first time the good Doctor was aired. I have watched almost all the episodes, from the beginning - so don't tell me I wasn't born then! For that fact All of the Doctor Who series are great, and some not so fantastic. I would love to see more of the female doctor, and make my own personal judgement on her ability to perform as one of the many Doctors!!!
The seventh doctor was one of the best.
I grew up with his doc and is one of my faves too
After watching this. I believe the seventh doctor is the speed run doctor
No, he really wasn’t. He was one of the worst, an atrocious actor who should never have been cast

Is this the first episode of the story?
no just highlights of the full story
Oops , the Doctor’s family , don’t go there
shhh it's a secret.
Until chibs gets his grubby litlle paws on it
Considering 7 was aware of his life pre-hartnell, he probably did know his actual parents and this had deeper meaning.
@@chilean395 tengo un puente que venderte. Saludos de Whovians Chile en faevuk
I understand The Doctor was playing the game , but he just destroyed , Ace
Seven was a player of games. Very long games. Ace was an essential game piece that he needed to win this particular game. The Doctor hated doing it - but he did, manipulating Ace into hating him, to steer the game in his favour. Callous, but necessary.
so was there 4 episodes to the story ?
Yeah, this is just clip highlights. If you can go check out the real thing it’s amazing
How well would The Doctor do against The Goosebumps monsters?
How badly would he do against Uri Geller?
3:17 And who said the doctor wasn't sassy until 9?
Doctor Who Meiralmos
This is genuinely scary, but the plot makes no sense and the writing is often bizarre, loaded with non-sequiturs, especially for Ace. It's really anti-English too: they have a commander who thinks he's Hitler, a vicar who loses his faith because Britain is bombing Germany (he's more than happy about them bombing us!) and the invading Russian traitors end up as the heroes! Plus the human race will now evolve into Davey Jones in thousands of years, but it already happened centuries ago?? The music is fantastic though, and the vampire girls are terrifying, miles scarier than the haemovores!
The comments about how bad it is, presumably mostly by a younger crowd, make me sad for a brain whose imagination doesn't fire by this or at least have some curiosity! I can't imagine never having seen all of Doctor Who.
News flash those vampire girls are Haemovores but haven't fully transformed yet.
The Reverend wasn't pro-Germany. He believed in the good of humanity, which doesn't mean 'UK only'. People were turning to him because of the war, death, and bombings, yet they seem perfectly happy to make orphans out of the other side when it suits them. It was a neutral dilemma, not a matter of 'sides'. He's also aware of what Commander Millington is doing beneath the Church, which makes matters even worse. It's all explained in the first episode - particularly the rant by Miss Hardaker.
The Russians aren't the 'heroes', because their mission was to steal from their allies in the first place - but it turns out that this particular base of allies is taking the 'learn your enemy' a bit too seriously, and wants to take out Germany (and Russia) with chemical weapons thanks to the influence of an Old God and a Commander who's getting a bit too Hitler'ish for his own good.
In short, there are no good sides in war.
And people say that RTD is woke.
@@mayotango1317It's pretty obvious that the person either (a) mistook the condensed compilation for full episode or (b) isn't grasping all the context and nuance.
The Reverend's plight is made clear throughout the story, and the presence of English baddies - or having more reason to root for people from a different country - doesn't magically make stories "Anti-English" - and being haunted by the prospect of innocent people and children being bombed by your own country doesn't make you "Pro-Other-Side".
Why isn’t this in stereo?
Why didn’t the preacher just ran away 😂
As just a series of clips, this story loses so much nuance. In the full episode, his failing faith had nearly spelled his end before the Doctor intervened, and he feels as if he needs to prove his faith to continue, and when he can’t… the horror of the world just overtakes his will to really go on
I believe that Priest did have faith in himself that God could protect him. But it's his mistrust of his fellow men that was his downfall.
Why do these jump around so? Whole sections are missing. They all do that.
Because it's highlights of a 4 episode story. You can watch the entirety elsewhere.
Возвращайтесь в Норвегию с сокровищем
Thoughts on the episode Cold War?
@@Reprodestruxion 2:25 the 7 read this
Came the haemovores ever Back in later or earlyer dr who Episodes?
In an audio and a comic, but this is their only TV appearance
This is such a well thought out story, that I have doubts that JNT had anything to do with it!
There are so many great scenes. There is the obvious Good vs. Evil as a backbone. Evil reigns terror in times of War - where we trained to accept hatred and killing as doctrine.
The only thing that breaks it, is the one words in the Decipher - LOVE. Love for one's country as with his emblem. Love of attraction - as between the two gay men who have questioned war once too many times. The Love Ace has of her Mother (as the baby) & Grandmother. But of course, the Love of God is only faith - not belief. It's hard to believe in a being that doesn't exist in any corporeal form. Proof denies faith, which is the Holy books main flaw. Religion is the fear to assess the truth. Which is why they use the truth to destroy him in the end. Very sad. The Doctor has faith in people who risked their lives to do good and is therefore unquestionable.
The Love that Ace has for the Doctor is challenged, because the love the Doctor has for Ace is to protect her - even at the cost of their friendship & trust. Evil called his bluff and thought he wouldn't do it. But did not realise that the Haemavore at the end had a change of heart after the Doctor introduced him to the first taste of affection. That's the trouble with keeping a monster locked up. It will turn against you after years of torment because it is ready for something alternative.
The scene where Ace is talking about moving faster than light speed (186,000 miles per second) is about how she would have become a time lady in future events, though this never occurred. She is introspecting with future events, because thought is time-travel. Put it this way.. is time accelerating? Or are you merely remembering less of each moment, each day, as you get older? If you were able to store more, you would get a greater sense of time slowing down. Hence the saying "time flies when you're having fun".
Fenric tried to play the game of time by moving pieces in reality, but underestimated the evolution of nature and how love is the result of intelligence. Survival is the law of the Jungle. Collaboration is the law of civilisation. Very clever story, because all this is hidden until the punch line.
Get a load of this McCoy haters Lol
Imagine being so unappreciative of this quality, couldn’t be me
