7th Doc: A Veteran of a Thousand Psychic Wars

[MatthewTheAstrologer]

An excellent choice of song for one of the most psychologically complex Docs. Thanks!

[PinstripeShirt]

1 person has never fought in a psychic war.

[TheOnComingStorm121]

This was Doctor Who to me, my first memory (Not just of Doctor Who, but of life in general) was of a McCoy backing up to a locked door as a strange, terrifying alien creature hovered up the stairs towards him screaming death and destruction. Even as a kid, I knew that despite the thing had a gun, and could destroy planets in seconds, that this strange little man with the umbrella would stop them and save Earth without even breaking a sweat.

[death2utubenow]

I am not a fan of the seventh Doctor but the BBC starved the show by reducing the budget and didnt give the program any real support. I hope that someday he will be able to reprise the role in a future special or something.

Good Vid by the way, cheers.

[RoyalGuard503]

@death2utubenow But, McCoy DID reprise the role. He's been playing the Seventh for years now in the audio dramas of Doctor Who done by Big Finish. And they're fantastic. Quality stuff, right there.

Plus, the BBC says they don't discredit them from canon, so you very much can consider them canonical.

[Monkofmagnesia]

The Seventh was my favorite and I love the way you edited the images to match the song. Great job! Thanks for making this.

[zoya15]

Brilliantly done! Loved this! I kinda thought of something like this hearing this song in Heavy Metal. I miss 7 and other old school Who actors. Russell's version of Doctor Who was good but not great. =/ Seeing Matt Smith and Steven Moffat's combination heading back to the old school Who made me happy. ^^ It also made me see that 9 and 10 were going through the stages of grief (anger and depression) and 11 is acceptance and therefore going back to his old personality, and less human mannerism.

[Hexachloraphine]

These were great times.

It;s true what the other commentators here are saying about the last couple of Sylv stories, they were incredible, it must be said that I have always liked the seventh Dr best, but the 8th is not to be underestimated, he packs in some pretty blinding performances on audio dramas.

[DoctorDodge]

Amazingly well edited vid! Really captures the darkness and the mystery of the 7th Doctor.

[KangiTanka1]

That is an excellent tribute to the greatness of the 7th Doctor! Great choice of song, and very nice editing too! :~D

[khanele]

Absolutely beautiful video, and a perfect song. Such a sad ending, what a terrible way to go. I'm torn though; from a storytelling perspective, it's especially fitting that the seventh Doctor had such meaningless 'death'... but since he's one of my favorite Doctors, I can't help feeling he deserved better!

[elcucuyfeo]

perfect song for a perfect video! I absolutely adored this MV

[doctorw2]

i loved the 7th doctor more than all the others becuase he was really mysterious and had a sense of eccentric electrical madness about him more so than even the 4th doctor and thats saying a lot. Plus he had a sense of humour that was infectious, sylveste mccoy really brought a blend of human and very alien aspects to the doctor who role. the problem with the new series is that the doctor is much too human (except for the eleventh doctor matt smith) the 9th and tenth doctors were way too human.

[IDIOTdella]

@doctorw2 - I couldn't agree with you more. I despaired at RTD for the road he took the 9th and 10th Doctors, especially the 10th. I mean, he emo'd the 10th Doc, not thinking that his depression was self-inflicted and therefore just unattractive rather than symapthetic, and then he intro'd a Parallel Universe Doc just to please the Rose/10thDoc fans which was downright blasphemy when it comes to the Doctor.

Thank God for Stephen Moffatt and Matt Smith's portrayal. I love Dr Who again

:-)

[Timelord6661]

@IDIOTdella

You can say that again :D

[TheOnComingStorm121]

@IDIOTdella I was concidering subscribing to you...But after the comment about RTD...You've DEFO got a new sub =D

[JoeConcerts]

@IDIOTdella The thing is though, the only work he has at the moment really is SJA and Tourchwood still, other projects he wanted to do last year were turned down by people who approuched him for stuff which is quiet funny!

[IDIOTdella]

@JoeConcerts - I have to give credit to RTD for the creation of Torchwood. I thought the first season was outstanding and really interesting, but like his 'known' projects RTD ruined it. I only watched a couple of the second season because it became clear to me very early on that the focus had changed from the Torchwood Institute to Captain Jack - and when I took a looksee later on, he then managed to not only ruin the program but the Jack character as well. Grrrrrr!

[JoeConcerts]

@doctorw2 I absulutly agree!!!! He is my favorite, every performance of him was excellent even when the story was a bit off (other examples include Tom Baker in The power of kroll). Eccleston was a bit too working class and Tennant was just a desperate emo, although he was quiet good though.

Matt Smith is the best of new who despite his young age, and the 2011 series looks too exciting.

[doctorw2]

@JoeConcerts i am a matt smithaholic i love him so much he is so cool! but, i hope the rumours about him leaving after series six isnt true becuase......oh god im starting to bubble :(

[JoeConcerts]

@doctorw2 I don't think thats true. Smith denied it, and its unlike him don't you think to betray fans like that if he denied and then left. He'll probaly be around at least until the 50th anniversary, which is excellent. 

[all13Doctors]

@doctorw2 What you said :D

[artofpoetry]

thank you so much for this gorgeous clip. what a treat to revisit my childhood. reminded me not just of the episodes, but of the excitement i felt watching them the first time around.

[TheDunHorse]

I liked the way he just walked away at 1:01. Legend.

[IDIOTdella]

@TheDunHorse Indeed... Especially since Sylvester McCoy has said that ther ewas so much heat from the explosion he thought there'd been nothing left of the the back of his clothes...

...But then again Sylvester McCoy, for me, was pretty much a Legend as the 7th Doctor anyhoo, as was Sophie Aldred as Ace :-)

[thatenglishkid]

I love this so much!

[ATATwins]

I missed the 7th Doctor (never saw him) so I don't know what the animatronic creature is supposed to be, but, what is the creature at 0:29?

[all13Doctors]

@ATATwins

Between 27-029? It's the Tettrap (not sure how many T's are in that)

[ATATwins]

@all13Doctors thanx.

[RealArcalian]

Very well done, Sylv's my fave.

I tend to think better of Paul than most, but otherwise agree with you; everythin the TVM did wrong, RTD has done wrong and then some.

[DarknessFullMoon]

Seven was really good.

[IDIOTdella]

Couldn't agree with you more, DarknessFullMoon.

I thought 7 was far more dark and mysterious, bordering on sinister at times, than the pretty abyssmal 8, 9 & 10. Nothing against the actors, it's just their Doctors really aren't my cup of tea, especially 9 & 10

:-)

[IDIOTdella]

Actually 8 was much the same as 9 & 10 as well, simply because of what the numbskulls introduced (Half-Human and British LMFAO!!) and that the Doctor saw his companion as bit of scrumpy and could have his end away with them.

Ludicrous and even more so when RTD decided to continue in that vein with the 10th Doctor.

:-)

[IDIOTdella]

I'm very sorry I haven't got back to those whom have left such lovely comments here. Not long after my last reply my world went kaplooey in the most upsetting of ways. Within a couple of months my wonderful Mother-In-Law, My awesome Dad and a very young cousin of 29 years died.,,

..So it's been a pretty hard time for me and my family of which we're all still trying to come to terms with it all.

Anyway, your comments have been a Godsend and very much appreicated indeed.

Take care

Della

*hug*

[bri4u2906]

Very sorry to read of your loss :(

[therealKINDLE]

If I won the Lotto, I would seriously consider contacting the Old Crew/Stars to ask them if they wouldn't mind doing a Story for charity, resuming from where it left off.

Sylvester's Doctor is SO MUCH more Dark & Sinister than any of the new Doctors. (If you can call the New Series Dr Who at all)

I can honestly say that the last couple of Stories were some of the best of DW ever! Fenric is just stupendous! Survival is Rich & Atmospheric, Greatest Show was Creepy & the Daleks moved up Stairs! lol

[lighthousedreamers]

I second that! IMHO, I think the classic series is better than the contemporary. ;-D

If you get everyone back, I'll watch that ep, lol!

[harendziak12]

I must say: Brilliant video! Seven is one of my favourite Doctors. I really miss him. Him and Ace...

[lighthousedreamers]

My sister sent me this. Superb video & fitting song choice as well--very angsty and a bit haunting sounding to me. You did an excellent job matching the clips to the lyrics! Well done; I've faved it =D

[WC3POchannel10A]

Very nice video! I love #7 also. Your comment about the 10th being a wet blanket is funny. He's not bad in my book, but the 10th is not the 7th! The whole new series is way to "clever" for its own good. It is often akin to a soap opera. RTD just couldn't help himself. I would love to see Ace meet Rose. "Oi Professor, who's the princess giving you the googly eyes? Want me to give her a Nitro9 boot out of the TARDIS?"

[WC3POchannel10A]

Oops....I meant "too clever."

[IDIOTdella]

Firstly, I'm really pleased you liked thje vid, WC3POchannel10A. Muchly appreciated indeed :-)

Secondly, flaming 'eck, you nearly made me wet my panties with laughter with your comment about what Ace would say to the Doc if she ever met Rose. LMFAO! Brilliant bit of commentary and accurate to boot.

Honestly? I really don't understand the kind of wankfest that goes on over RTD. I detest what he's done to the Doctor... AND to the program too. Bring back the mystery and oh GOD! the subtlety too.

[wiccagirl24]

Wow... that's wonderful in a heartbreaking sort of way.

[IDIOTdella]

Thanks ever so much for your lovely comment, wiccagirl24. Very much appreciated indeed :-)

I was aiming for this vid to have a sad undertone to it all because 7th's demise was incredibly sad, in a heartbreaking way, but also sad in a pathetic, complete waste kind of way too.

To be brutally honest, I think the way 7 was killed would serve the 10th Doctor better because I find that Doctor to be a complete and utter wet blanket, so being killed in such a wasteful way would suit him to a tee.

:-)

[geeezzzberger]

WOW - don't watch the doctor but I love this vid. good on you . . .

[IDIOTdella]

Thanks ever so much for your lovely comment, geeeeeezzzberger (are there enough e's in this? - tee hee!) Very muchly appreciated indeed :-)

Um, just-a wonderin' how you came to have a gander at this vid if you don't watch the Doc? Just curious really :-)

Thanks again

:-)

[frankiewilliams]

Wow this music video is brilliant. I'm very impressed Della. 10/10.

[IDIOTdella]

Golly, thank you ever so much, frankiewiliams, for such a lovely response. Very muchly appreciated indeed :-)

I'm very pleased to hear that you liked this because I kind of like it myself as well.

Cheers me dear!

:-)

[frankiewilliams]

Was wondering could you do a music video with the Second, Sixth and Seventh Doctor in, since they are my top 3 Doctor's (Seven is 1st place of course).

[IDIOTdella]

I'm afraid to say that I don't have any Sixth or Second episodes to work from. Many apologies.

To be honest though I should really think about getting some Sixth ones at least because he's my third favourite Doctor, William Hartnell's Doctor being my second favourite.

Sorry once again

:-)

[frankiewilliams]

What do you think of the Second Doctor then?  Alot of people say that Two and Seven can be very alike.

[IDIOTdella]

A revised reply - chuckle.

I've never really seen the connection between the two if I'm honest. I would say that the 2nd Doctor was mischevious, whereas the 7th was playful when it came to the comedy moments.

And everything else? Well, the 7th was far more darker and mysterious by the end of his tenure than the 2nd.

IN all honesty, I think the only thing the 2nd Doctor and the 7th shared, above all the other Doctors that is, was that they were of similar height. *shrug* Sorry...

:-)

[frankiewilliams]

Yes I would agree the 7th was much more darker than the 2nd. I reckon 7 was the darkest out of all the Doctor's, and thats one of the reasons why I like 7 so much.

[IDIOTdella]

Hear! Hear!

I now wish Sylvester had held out another 7 years before doing the regeneration scene because I reckon any other regeneration scene would have been far more logical, and therefore superior, than the one in the Movie.

...And I still wish that the BBC hierarchy of the time had managed to pull their heads from their arses and given Sylv and Sophie another Season.... at the very least!!!!

*sigh* So many "If only's..."

[frankiewilliams]

I really hat it when Seven gets shot in the TV Movie. Its such a shame he had such a small role in it. His last words was him screaming "argghhh". I think Seven's death in "Death Comes To Time is much better.

[frankiewilliams]

Was wondering could you make another music video with the Seventh Doctor in it, but this time to Bonnie Tylers song "I need a hero" (Holding Out for a Hero) With Ace as well. :)

Thanks

George

[alex455a]

I luv Dr. Who but I'm watching since Dr. Who nr. 9 I haven't see 8th or 7th doctor...but the 7th looks great. Thanks for this video it's great and also is this song

[IDIOTdella]

Many thanks for your comment, alex455a. Very much appreciated indeed :-)

If you're going to have as look at the 7th Doctor, then maybe have a look at his last season, such as Ghost Light, Curse Of Fenric, Battlefield and Survival. I really don't think you'll be disappointed. But then again, I could be biased :D

Thanks again for your comment

:-)

[alex455a]

I wish I could have a look at this doctor and this part of the series but unfortunately I can't find anywhere the episodes...only from 1963 and 2005 to present and that's all...and your welcome

[IDIOTdella]

Have a look in your inbox, alex455a, I've sent a message for you about some episodes

:-)

[destructivedandy]

Superb stuff Della! I love the editing, every single frame is so apt and in time with the music. I like how the beginning focuses on all the foes as the music marches on. You're quite right to be proud of this!

[IDIOTdella]

Golly that was quick - chuckle, not that I'm complaining mind, because you've left such a wonderful comment, destructivedandy.

Thanks ever so much for viewing and leaving such a comment.

Very Muchly appreciated indeed:-)
