Doctor Who: Traumatising children across the world for 59 years!
I made doctor who 60th anniversary specials please give it a watch
You do realize DW is specifically characterized as "A Kids Show for Adults" right? Essentially it's made for adults, but made to be watchable by kids, but not made specifically *for* kids.
@@lexruptor Doctor Who is definitely a kids show. That doesn't mean it can't be watched by older people but at its heart, it is for kids.
@@lexruptor yeah nah.
Blake's 7 was the adult show.
@@MentoRyuzaki alors on commande une vidéo mais tu devrais sortir la nouvelle vidéo sur le docteur et ses compagnons et en français nous t'attendons nous les
I love how Adric's actor, Matthew Waterhouse, is visibly pulling back early as the cyberman enters because he doesn't wanna be near the squibs going off
Adric's sacrifice was so heartbreaking.
I agree. It's a shame some "too cool for school" fan hate him and cheer when he dies.
Agreed while I don't care for the character (this is nothing against the actor I just think they needed a stronger actor for the role) This was a heck of a sendoff.
my dad yelped in sheer happiness when he died
I remember watching this as a child. The quiet ending. Absolutely shocking.
In my version Adric never died and live as male companion to Fifth Doctor to sixth Doctor to seventh Doctor
I have always favored the menacing cyber controllers voice over all the modern versions. I miss this version of the Cybermen. A competent enemy is a scary enemy
People complain these Cybermen are too emotional and while it's certainly valid, I prefer them to the stompy bots with 90s printer voices of New Who.
These days they're just knock-off Borg. Which is ironic because the Cybermen originally influenced the creation of the Borg.
Great voices - awful costumes compare to the 60s - 70s versions
it's a cool voice, but them being so... emotional is kind of stupid, no?
@@DomWeaselThe Cybermen from Tomb of the Cybermen were truly emotionless and terrifying. But you're definitely right that modern Who Cybermen suck.
In my opinion my favourite cybermen voice are the first doctor's ones
my favorite cyberman design, my favorite cyberman episode, EXCELLENT!
"So... we meet again. Doctor" Still the most badass line coming from a Cyberman episode.
If we’re counting audios, I think _Spare Parts_ wins.
‘How dare you, Zheng?! All this is my work! I created you!’
‘And I am superior to you. Be proud while you still have the capacity.’
@@Cybermat47 I'd say the rebuttal towards Polly on the subject of not caring in the Tenth Planet is a contender.
Didn't make much sense as they had not met each other before.
@@Quietstormusic The Cyberleader conciseness is a downloadable hive mind. So when one dies, his personality is restored when a new Cyberleader take his place.
David Banks at his best. EXCELLENT.
I’m from Denver, and in the spring of 1981, KRMA Channel 6 began airing episodes of Doctor Who at 10 am on Sunday mornings (each week, they would show all of the episodes that made up an entire story). In the United States, Doctor Who was a show like no one had ever seen before. It was low budget, but so weird people continued watching it. At the time, no one knew Tom Baker wasn’t the only actor to play the role and three actors preceded him in playing the role. I quit watching Doctor Who when at the end of Logopolis, he suddenly transformed into another actor who didn’t look like him at all.
It wasn’t until 1984 that I watched the first season of Peter Davison episodes after I had asked other students in school what had happened to Adric, and they had told me he was killed. I watched Earthshock and was captivated not only by Adria’s death, but also by the Cybermen, who became my favorite adversary of the Doctor. My favorite Doctor Who Cybermen stories are The Invasion, Earthshock and the two part Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel.
John Nathan-Turner may not have been the best producer of Doctor Who, but he pulled off an excellent strategy in creating an episode that brought the best of Doctor Who up to that point in that it gave viewers information about the Doctor and his previous incarnations, two of which I hadn’t seen before, an enemy of his that also had undergone changes in appearance, and finally a companion who was heroic, but suddenly killed at the end of the story.
Hey, that reminds me... Remember the days when people actually lived IN the Tardis, and not just in the Console Room? Like, Adric's room there. When did we see Amy's Room, or River's Room, or Clara's Room? Sure we get mentions of how big it is, there's a pool, we see a library, it has a whole sun as a battery, yada yada, but nowadays everything just happens in the console room, or in generic endless hallways... Kind of a sad loss actually tbh.
well back in the day doctors didn't have only 3 seasons so i guess more development and stuff like that i agree i would of loved seeing actual rooms and places a idea of a enemy infiltrating the tardis and a episode or two just with that plot line
This was the first Cybermen story I ever watched as a child and the androids in the caves made me scared of the dark for awhile, but Adric's death really hit hard because I had seen a few Dalek stories and while they killed people, it was never anyone travelling with the Doctor.
But the Cybermen got Adric killed. They did something the Daleks never succeeded in doing. They killed a companion.
When I was fourteen, I encountered one of these Cybermen costumes at a country show and it loomed over me (The actor it was made for must have been six foot four) and even though it was empty and still, it genuinely made my skin creep.
Adric's death always makes me cry, no matter how many times I watch it.
Adric was one of the Greatest companions ever. He should have got a series if his own😊
Can you guys maybe do a compilation of how different companions reacted when they found out that the doctor is an alien?
That would be brilliant
Also sorry for any grammar mistakes
Speaking of compilations, someone did a fantastic edited compilation of the Doctor showing him just before or just after he regenerated. Oddly enough, this explained way more about regeneration than watching compilations of the Doctor’s appearance changing. Unfortunately, the video was pulled from UA-cam, and I’m assuming that was due to copyright infringement. My favorite part of that video was where the Time Lords were showing different appearances the Doctor could choose from at the end of The War Games and the second Doctor’s reaction where scenes from a specific Doctor were shown. “He’s too old!” (First Doctor). “We’ll he’s too fat, isn’t he.” (Sixth Doctor). “No, he’s too thin!” (Tenth Doctor). “Yes. That one’s too young!” (Eleventh Doctor).
The cliffhanger to parts 1 and 3 are certainty highlights. And they were good baddies the Cybermen.
You don't know how many times I've watched Earthshock.
yeah me too. all the way back to first broadcast and subsequent viewings on betamax!
*"Adric!"* The Saddest Line 😭
The genuine emotion of her yelling it and us knowing...nothing anyone can do....EXCELLENT
The Cyber-Leader's pretty sadistic for someone without emotions.
This was huge because it was the first time since 1963 that a companion was killed off.
1966
Actually, Adric was the THIRD companion to perish. The first two, were Katarina & Sara Kingdom, both in the 12-part serial, The Daleks’ Master Plan, (1965-1966).
For all my criticism of JNT era, this was an exceptional serial. It must be in my top 5
The main problem with the JNT era was inconsistency - and that was because JNT had no particular interest in stories and left it to the script editors. He worked with four script editors during his tenure, Bidmead, Root, Saward and Cartmel, and the first three have all spoken of difficulties from working with him, while Cartmel, with whom he seemed to have a better relationship, has admitted that Nathan-Turner had no real interest in science fiction.
_"Highlights"_ and number 1 is Adric's death 😭
Love that the troop, Scott aside, is made up of short, pretty ladies and rather callow lads. 19:22 taking cover behind the same boxes seen in Adric's room earlier. Also nice Cyber-coughs, (possibly directions for the performers?) at 19:33 and 19:36. Cute work experience Cyberman at 21:09. After screaming the camera to distortion, nice to see Tegan rocking a wedge at 25:42 💜
This IS, Without doubt, in the top 5 stories that the BBC EVER DID!! Cybermen sounding like Darth Vader. Made in the early 1980s, Peter
Davidson as the Doctor, Adric, Nissa. And the incident that caused the extinction of the Dinosaurs... Wow. Love it as a kid of 12..Still do❤
Many complain that the Cybermen here act too emotional, saying words like “Excellent” and “Hurry” as well as the leader showing some slight anger whenever the plan fails, but I like to think they have slight emotions for logical reasons, I have a headcanon that during the days of the early Cyberfaction (Invasion) a group of Cybermen reused emotions to better carry their plans, the Cyberfaction objected, and thus the one species split into two subspecies, the emotionless Cyberfaction going on to become the Tomb designs, where the group that split went on to become the ones seen in Revenge, then once a Cybernomad group found the tomb in Telos, they merged, the end result being the Cyberneomorphs, the Earthshock ones
R.I.P Adric
Wow, I don't think any particular highlights come to mind when I think about Earthshock
...........
🤣
Always loved Earthshock :)
Thank you!
This episode, changed the way I viewed Doctor Who when I was a kid, that shook me to the core! Back In the days, they started broadcasting Doctor Who on channel 9, WPIX in the USA late 70s. No one ever here at the time knew of the Doctor Regenerating. We only knew of the witty Doctor with the scarf, his companion K-9 the robotic dog. A lot of stories got shown out of order, but the one thing universal in every episode, companions Never died. They always got out of the trouble they were in with the Doctors help. I liked Aderick out of all the companions I had seen so far, and was shocked when we all saw Tom Baker regenerating into Peter Davidson the 5th doctor. I was just starting to grasp this, when Aderick died. I was so shaken up when I realized next episode he wasn't coming back, and several Doctor Who magazines said as much. I refused to watch the show for months, and a lot of users on my BBS felt the same. A BBS was similar to the internet today. I ran it off 4 phone lines, multi user C-Net Amiga. People called my system and chatted with others, or just posted or responded on the bulletin board subjects, one big subject was Doctor Who, with over 400+ users, from all over the world. It ran at 2400 baud, and a 500mb SCSI hard drive, which back then was considered big. Used to think back then that with games being 48k or 64k, that Id never need anything else. Heck, thought the same with my 10mb Lt Kernal when I ran off a Commodore 128d. Doctor who was the biggest topic, and the story Earthshock shook up the BBS community so much, I had to limit callers to 30 minutes per login with 2 hour breaks so others could connect. I almost considered adding an additional 8 phone lines. I even purchased my first Doctor who game, which I had to import from the UK. That's when I learned about PAL and NTSC. Had to buy a special adapter so my clunky monitor could display the game correctly, otherwise 1/4 of the game would vanish off the screen, like how Windows systems today display content with multiple monitors. Always hoped they would bring Aderick back somehow. One of the reasons I started watching again, to see if hed be brought back. Then just as things were starting to settle down, Peter Davidson changes into Colin Baker. Was shortly after seeing that episode, I actually got to meet Colin Baker at my first Doctor Who convention in Connecticut, hosted by the Fairfield county Advocate. I wasn't to shocked to see Colin Baker acted the same at the show, as he did on television. Out of all the doctors, Tom Baker was my favorite. That was until the reboot. Now I have to favorites. Tom Baker, and David Tennant. Can't wait till next year's specials!!
Then, in Power of the Doctor, we find out Tegan named her son Adric. (Or Nyssa named her son Adric, if you go by that continuity)
I thought they hated the original. Bizarre
The demise of Adric was more shocking than the demise of Gan in Blake,s Seven episode Pressure Point.
Matt finish lmao
It's ok. Adric is with the Dinosaurs now. Don't you worry one bit.
This is my kind of Doctor Who story. Serious, cold British Sci-Fi. The show at its best.
These Cybermen are awesome
Damn it, I loved Adric
Joe Columbo chairs, Dr. Who has the best furniture ever.
didn't include the best scene...the Doc using the ship's engine to make a wall in the bridge entrance way which formed around an entering cyberman ala a carbonite freeze.
No, that's in there. Just the wall effect, not the setup when the Doctor starts to do it, but you see teh Cyberman get stuck.
Raston warrior robots, as seen in the 5 Doctors.
Good Episode Classic
BBC. Live Adric
EXCELLENT!
Brilliant!
31:00 oh man this things about to blow up in my face, but I have to act like I’m typing!
I enjoy this one for the visuals, for classic Who it looks pretty good, some of the story drags a little and the Cybermen are unfortunately comical in places, but there’s some good ideas in there. The remastered version is a rare improvement, the ending makes much more visual sense now.
Fantastic
Love it #DoctorWho ❤
This was it... The begining of the neverending slaughter of Companions
Adric blown up...how we laughed and cheered
Doctor Who best show, did anyone notice as l did when l first saw Star Wars as a kid that instantly l saw the story was a rip off of the episodes"The Monster of Peladon' and follow up series. Princess in danger, Empire Villain with similar suit to Darth Vader and heavy breather etc
I watched this on Christmas day as a kid my mum got me the dvd the the toy to go with it
In my version Adric never died and live as male companion
Hey, remember the episode after when they figured out they had a time machine and went back 3 mins in time to get Adric off the freighter?
No?
Well, that's how much everyone liked Adric 😏
Today The Doctor would say because they watched him die that must mean Time wanted him dead.
Or something. Because we can't have a Timelord screwing with Time, can we ?
The Doctor prefers not to cross their own timeline if they can help it. It could have some serious effects on history.
@@lordblu4316 Not in this instance. The freighter would still crash into Earth, then Adric gets deposited back home. Done.
The console is damaged
@@Cyberbeagle1000 it's the TARDIS... It has zillions of control rooms
The first companion death 😞
Technically it was the third one overall, but it was the first one to involve a companion who'd been around for more than a couple of stories.
The first openly gay cast member, now happily married and living in the UK.
These fishermen look better then the new ones
I say never a adric fan
But his death hit me in the gut
I know the laws of time forbade the Doctor from going back and saving Adric, but could he have had another Time Lord in another TARDIS do it for him? Sort of a time loophole?
Is the show still going :,( ?
poor Adrick
This one’s a classic, but I prefer ATTACK OF THE CYBERMEN. My favourite Cybermen serial from the 1980s.
THE INVASION is my favourite 1960s Cybermen serial.
i miss adric
“ Scan complete, sir. Negative. No sign of life. “
“ I give you my word. Just as you gave your word to Tegan. That’s not fair. No, it never is when you’re being criticized, is it? Just as it’s never your fault when something goes wrong. Have you quite finished? There’s lots more. Well, it can wait! Yes, but I can’t. I’m tired of being an outsider, Doctor. I want to go back to my own people. “
“ Sergeant? Sergeant Mitchell? Sergeant Mitchell! “
“ Too many people have died for you to play the fool. “
“ Who are they? Androids. That’s why they didn’t register on your scanners. Androids? Are they yours? No, and if you want proof you’ll find they’ll kill me as willingly as they’ll kill you. See what I mean? “
“ Destroy them. Destroy them at once. “
“ You’ve checked for booby traps. I’m not in the mood to argue. “
“ The Earthlings have broken in. They are too late. “
“ How much longer before activation? One minute. “
“ Master detonator engaged. “
“ What’s happening? Our signal is being jammed. More powerrrrrrrr!! “
“ There was power in that circuit! “
“ Full power. We proceed towards the destruction of Earth. “
“ You could hide an army down here and no one would find it. “
“ What’s the point of going on? I want to announce my presence, and see what the reaction is. “
“ Get your minions to search the hold. You will find a scapegoat there. Leader? You have intruders! “
“ Doctor! Doctor, over here! They’re finished. Look, let’s go before we’re caught and blamed. I’ve seen wounds inflicted this way before. Doctor, we have got to get out of here. Yes. On this ship we execute murderers. “
“ Are these your friends? Definitely not. What are they? Cybermen. “
“ Oh, you haven’t seen anything. Wait until the Cybermen start. You know them? Oh, yes. We go back a long way. “
“ The shield is now soft enough. Break through! “
“ Charges primed? Yes, leader. Fire! I should have realized. “
“ So. We meet again. Doctor. “
“ Reactivation completed. Excellent. Now you will see our strength. “
“ My army awakes, Doctor! “
“ Are they all so dedicated? Compared to some, this one is positively flippant. “
“ They also enhance life. When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well prepared meal? These things are irrelevant. For some people, small beautiful events is what life is all about. “
“ I now have control over you, Doctor. All I need do is threaten the woman’s death for you to obey me. “
“ Of course, that’s it! “
“ You’ve failed, leader. You will not enjoy the victory. I shall now kill you, Doctor. “
