[RCGecko]

[terriblethomas101]

@RCGecko 48 years old, actually

[bioniclefactory1]

we shall those brave lines of the first doctor who fifty years on

[rawyld]

I bought the 'beginning' because of this trailer.

[ZaffireWolf]

I want more episodes about the TARDIS vending machines.

[bioniclefactory1]

susan doesn't like that seat so she stabs it

[winterwolf2710]

Beautifully crafted and choreographed!

A wonderfully trailer for three stunning episodes!

[bpop101]

Stunning, it gives it a whole new...dimension

[bioniclefactory1]

i loved this video so much i went out and bought it with hesitation got mine new for a tenner of ebay

[jonukwho]

A great complilation of three masterpieces of the 60s era. they happen to be the first three stories

[DrWhoJr]

I said it once and I will say it again. The BBC are fools for not having you work for them.

[McKnowledge1000]

"Could it be possible that... that this is the end?"

[boosterjonesable]

Good work!

I have this box set and I think that it's suits it 100%

[TheOneandOnlyWhovian]

what is the music amazing tribute or trailer and well done as usual

[Wirrn]

Of course time goes in circles! That's why clocks are round!

[drwhomasterfan]

This is great. The beginning boxset was the first 1st Doctor stories i owned.

[Spritemasters524]

Spritemasters524 thinks you're awesome for making this video.

[JHollowayNetwork]

Can You Upload The Patrick Troughton Years, The One with The Power of The Daleks, The Highlanders, and The Underwater Menace?

[katara120]

3 amazing episodes, althought with "the daleks" episode, the last 3 episodes i think they cud do without, they shouldn't of extended it with the missing fluid link, when they escaped was when they should of moved on. oh well, still amazing

[TheTinTrooper]

If I might be permitted to do a request, could you do a trailer for "The Curse of Fenric"?

[mpinks97]

this makes me want to watch the episodes! great work!

[14cliffords]

I absoloutly loved it! It makes my videos look like muck! I hope you keep it up!

[KangiTanka1]

This is a brilliant trailer :~D Makes me want to watch those three serials even more. Good thing I bought them recently ;~)

[BradamAllibourke]

that is really good, the BBC should use this trailer for this boxset

[Toast960]

Dude!!! Another amazing trailer. Why the BBC doesn't hire you, I'll never know! :)

[germanchap]

@Toast960 I totally second that

[HTprods]

Fantastic! Absolutely great! Really gets the spirit of the early days of Who (and how blumming good William Hartnell was!). May I ask, what's the music used?

[23IMTektawu23]

WOW !  that is CYBER !!!!!!

[randomiser323]

If anyone didn't like the black and white era of Doctor Who or even the classic era, this would make them want to watch it, Superb!

[darkosprey34]

My next painting!!! The First Doctor!!!! Why have i never thought of it before?

[davros847]

You are an absolute genius! Why hasn't the BBC hired you yet?!? Great work!

[TheTinTrooper]

Would you be tempted to do other Trailers like these? Like for the Key to Time and Beneath the Surface Boxsets?

[androzani7]

Excellent! You've chosen some of my favourite imagery: the Doctor running for the Tardis across the palaeolithic desert, the Dalek hallucinating after taking the anti-radiation drugs, the fire illuminating the travellers' faces as they watch Za and Kal slug it out. The first two stories really did have some terrific production values. We're lucky that the show was blessed with some rare talents from its earliest days: William Hartnell, Waris Hussein, Christopher Barry, Barry Newbery, Ray Cusick.

[MrTARDISreviews]

The way you've presented the Daleks in this trailer make it seem like the movie 'Alien' and they seem more terrifying in this trailer then the Daleks have been recently. I just ordered this on DVD and it should be coming any day now. Great job on the trailer!

[profquatermass]

Brilliant Babel, simply brilliant!

[kagasan2008]

Absolutely terrific!

[badwolf66]

One word.

EPIC!!!

[paulsamfreya]

Simply wonderful! Thank you for this!

[Lugg97355]

Wonderful work! Beautiful. Stuart does it again!

[w00master]

Thank you, Mr. Hartnell, for bringing life to one of the greatest sci-fi characters ever - without you, we would never of had the other 10.

It wasn't the end, but just the beginning.

Happy 46th Anniversary, Doctor Who!

[papalaz4444244]

It's the Doctor Who 46th Anniversary in 6 hrs r so.

I think I will watch this DVD set in celebration. :)

[TheRedevil987]

That was simply amazing!!! One of the best trailers I have ever seen, it should be used by the BBC.

[HelpMyNamesTaken]

A monster that hides inside people and takes them over? And i thought 'Midnight' was original.

[SnakeOnAPlane]

What are you talking about?

[HelpMyNamesTaken]

Midnight, its in the 4th series of new who.

[SnakeOnAPlane]

I know, but why isn't it original?

[ShadowVampire5000]

Snake is right..and Midnight is original...if yu've not seen Edge of Destruction i won't spoil it..but all is not as it seems...

[saDragonFly]

Id buy the DVD BoxSet based on this promo...well done.

[Cyberman022]

That looks terrifying

[MostIngenious]

WOW, that's amazing! Really really good.

My only two quibbles would be, I missed Hartnell's speech about standing under an alien sky, and also a shot of the Dalek city from afar.

Other than that, great stuff and I will certainly use this to convince skeptics to give these old episodes a go!

[hillbillyprofane]

Absolutely stunning! I may be able to convince some of my mates to give the original series a try by showing them this!

[ScootsGoldfish]

There is no "old" or "new" series of Doctor Who. It's all one series, one Doctor Who. It's the same show, and any era is just as good as any other.

[megashorts]

I totally agree!

[thatenglishkid]

It's actually 30 seasons and a few specials :P

[ShadowVampire5000]

Couldn't agree more!

[badwolf66]

@ScootsGoldfish Well you could say that the 1st 13 lives could be series 1

Then the next 13 lives could be series 2.

[CaptainAndyman]

Incredible trailer! Completely epic!

[theatre2film]

I second that!

[Starbuck133]

What´s the name of zhe music?????

[therealKINDLE]

It's called boring Orchestral Music that is nothing as erie as the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop's Haunting, Pulsating soundscape!

[1854wssh]

good grief, it's just a trailer and a very nice one, there's no point in getting so bent out of shape. and besides, i'd contest that there is no sound less haunting than radiophonic's creations of the early 70s (check out the Sea Devils soundtrack, just noise, not music). It's all a matter of opinion.

[therealKINDLE]

Oh hell don't get me started on the sea devils soundtrack.. I've studied it for years in admiration! Malcolm Clarke's master piece was much more than just noise. For example the 'Master Theme?' Was that just sounds? Just because it isn't a full orchestra Doesn't mean it has no Chords, or Structure etc! The Synthe 100 ("Delaware") Boasted several True Analog Oscillators, Multiple Filters, Glass Tube Valves, etc, the stuff of Raw Modular Magic! Todays stuff is shit in comparion. No Creativity.

[1854wssh]

Alright so we disagree, that's that. I do think Babelcolour's trailer is pretty impressive no matter what you think of the music though, I think the editing is quite good, and I like the choice of clips, especially the one he chose to end on. I felt it worked very well. Honestly he made Unearthly Child look more exciting then it was (or at least more so than I remember it. I definitely enjoyed The Daleks more).

[DrWhoFigureEpisodes]

Whats The Music Called ?

[CheyneQuinn]

that was FANTASTIC!

5 Billion Thumbs And Stars UP!

[therealKINDLE]

Ah.. Doctor Who at it's best. Such a shame how shit it has become now tho. Dr Who is camp, girl power soap opera in space with love & emotion as it's theme. RTD can kiss my arse.

Dr Who should be about mystery, peril, adventure, dark terrors.. Not about the companions. Or the companions Mum!

Anyway, if you haven't seen this, then you are missing out on REAL Dr Who!

[thatenglishkid]

I sorta agree and disagree. I think the families add more realism, but I think they've taken it too far. I have faith in Moffat to sort it out though.

[TheSilentiaful]

I know this has probably been asked before, but what is the music to this called? Thanks.

[DarthBombshell]

I know what the music is, but since Babel said not to say what it is (at least, he did when the vid was first posted; Babel, what are your feelings about that now?), I can't say.

[avalonroad]

That was good.

You know I have been thinking about it lately, and what if they did a movie of the first Doctor. Who would play who? There are many who would be good for the Doctor (Ian McKellen, John Hurt, hell may be even David Bowie! may be.) The other companions I would like hear ideas on but the one i'm really having a tuff time with is Susan. Dose any one out there have any Ideas?

[gallifrey01]

Well in a way they did, with peter cushing. His two films were based on the first doctor if i'm not mistaken

[avalonroad]

Yeah theirs that but I mean a new one based on the Who mythos now.

Those he wasn't really even a Time Lord.

but thanks any ways.

[kaledmasterme]

carol ann ford is still kicking...

[ProteusQ71]

You are such a freaking genius. Thanks for posting this.

[powerhousechipmunk23]

Gonna get this next week. Can't wait! Looks fantastic! I also have the Bred For War (BRILLIANT) and Beneath the Surface (EVEN BETTER THAN BRILLIANT) boxsets!

[thatenglishkid]

EVEN BETTER THAN BRILLIANT EXCEPT THE HORRIBLE "WARRIORS" ADDITION :p

[darkosprey34]

Are you going to do the War Machines? I absolutely love it! One of my all time faves just on the basis of the one scene of all these soldiers running in terror while Hartnell walks foward fearlessly. Just such a powerful image!

[subbtopp]

Thank you so much for that. Really got thr impact. It was ajoy have always enjoyed your creativity

[owenharperisnotdead]

omg you should do the actual ads

[Poltroon]

Bloody hell, but Hartnell kicks major-league bottom! Many thanks, Babelcolour!

[DoctorWhoisit]

That was fraking cool! Way more dermatic then they actually were but still very cool. shiny Babel... Shiny!

[Gnorris73]

I'd love to see more of the box sets receive this kind of treatment, such as the Davros or Sontaran collections. It could add a sense of continuity to the collected stories, given how far apart many of them aired from each other.

The first episode of An Unearthly Child really is quite brilliant, for those who mentioned they haven't seen Hartnell stories. The viewer is left wondering if the Doctor is the hero or villain of the series, much like McCoy's second season.

[RegenerationStorm]

i ordered this yesterday , its too classic and collectible to be forgotten ^_^

[NemFX]

I have that boxed set. ;)

[CyberEwan]

Such a brilliant trailer, this makes me want to get it, I love how it makes it look like there's more action and adventure in the episodes than there actually was!

110/100

[SnakeOnAPlane]

This is absolute genious! Excellent musical score and everything fits perfectly. Perhaps the best parts of this trailer are when it goes quiet, you can hear Susan screaming "Grandfather" and the words 'The Daleks' comes up on the screen. Such an effective combination that you just don't see very often these days.

And at the end where Billy says "Could it be possible that... that this is the end?" and then it says 'The Beginning'. Amazing stuff!

[BabelColour]

Thank you SnakesOnAPlane. I really glad you enjoyed it, and those two sections you mentioned were my favourite bits too! I was especially pleased by the final juxtaposition of "this is the end" and "The Beginning". I delighted you picked up on those :)

[DoctorKatie903]

i have never seen any of the Hartnell era all of the way through, this wants me to see every single one

[dwswh]

love it. spectacular, best trailers for these episodes!

[gavin1975]

fantastic.... great

[dalekvoyager]

I love William Hartnells doctor. I think he is a great start.

[pearvert]

Makes the epiosdes look like there's a lot more action than there really was.

This is a 5-star rating...

[JohnMacnee]

This is very powerful. I think the unaired pilot is better than the actual first episode. You've done a tremondous job!

[BabelColour]

I think some of the directorial choices were a little stronger in the pilot. Some of the shots and framing are much more dramatic and beautiful than the alternatives that made it to transmission.

[darkosprey34]

The beginning DVD Set was a present I will treasure ALWAYS! Love the unaired pilot and the actual 1st episode!

You did a good job of highlighting the acting and intensity that was the impetus of Doctor Who. If not some of the dated concepts that tend to cause most to under appreciate Hartnell's era.

[3dollarbrain]

omg this has epic written all over it

[fredfreddy]

very very very good, like wow

though I know the Hartnell epis weren't quite so exciting

[cbatt91337]

This is great and has inspired me to do better in my Trailers

[BabelColour]

That's very sweet. I'm honoured that could have that effect :)

[Doctor31074]

Seeing William Hartnell run for the TARDIS is quite a strong image, it sends shivers up my spine everytime.

[BabelColour]

yes - it's such a rare and dramatic sight, isn't it. I love that shot too.

[p7tms]

Your talent is amazing!

[Spyritus]

Have you the faintest idea how incredibly awesome that was?

[riderlookin]

good God, they should hire you to do the prmos for the DVDs, the promos they use suck, you'r's are so much better

[DanielNeedham2500]

Even though I never grew up to see Doctor Who and William Hartnell's era was over 20 years before I was born, he is my favourite doctor. Without him playing the role the way he did, the show wouldnt have become the one that fans and viewers know and love.

This video shows how much decication the actors and the production team had back then.

[grantha]

Grief, so much better than the adverts on the dvds !

[BabelColour]

Personally, I think the Coming Soon trailer for 'The War Machines' is an absolutely fantastic trailer. Some of them are poor, but that one really impressed me.

[elixaristhedragon]

The coming soon for "The War Games" is brilliant as well

[Ajouk]

Really well done! You've brought life back to one of my favourite Doctors

[00soluna]

Nicely done. Babel you did another fantastic job. Thanks for putting this trailer together.

[JohnHutch]

Fantastic work! If the episodes themselves were as action packed and dramatic as that, I'd shit a brick! Especially with the Edge of Destruction. Fantastic work!

[classrule]

now I want to rush out and buy these episodes from... somewhere... even though sense tells me that the better part of Unearthly Child was awful, boring, anthropological heresy. This trailer is just so damn good!

[CoryTheRaven]

Great video! The First Doctor is my favorite, and this was a wonderfully dramatic tribute to him!

[Sharingonsandninja]

Could it be possible then...

That this could be the end...

[19bj98]

awesome !!! i love your videos

[lifegrowntv]

That was amazing! Gave me a shiver down the spine! :D

[ShadowVampire5000]

Brilliant! Awesome! Wonderful! You are a genius!

[BritishAlienCompany]

Wow! Ok, i am not ultimately a fan of the Hartnell peiod of Doctor Who, but this shows how serious it was and how brilliant the actors really were. Absolutely fabulous as usual!

[thatenglishkid]

I don't mean to sound rude, but why aren't you a fan of Hartnell's period?

[BritishAlienCompany]

Ok, that came out wrong! What i meant to say is that out fo the 10 Doctors, Hartnell is in the bottom five for me, everyone has a favourite Doctor. After watching this, i went up to my room, watched my Hartnell DVDs and watched it in a different way. Its not that i don't think he is a fab Doctor, because he is, but he is not my favourite!

[Wiccanslyr]

FRAKING AWESOME!!

[misticrystal]

Do you have any idea how awesome you are? That was FANTASTIC! *goes to watch it again*

[HartnellTroughton108]

Awesome

[Sharingonsandninja]

NOW that was awesome! Woo CHILLS!

[dalek014]

wow amazing, i really want to go and buy that box set now

[StarflowerVids]

That was amazing. I love to see people make Classic Who dramatic. Prooves to the New Whovians that the older ones can be serious. =)

[HTprods]

what,is that saying classic who isn't dramatic?

if so,wrong

[thatenglishkid]

The old ones ARE more serious.

[JustB3N]

Another brilliant video, makes me really want to watch these early episodes.

[Tardisgirlfrance]

That made me shiver. It makes me want to want those episodes all over again. I think they're great in the first place and you make a fantastic tribute to them.

[tangerinealarm]

Wow, that was brilliant, makes me want to go and grab it off my shelf and watch it right now.

Even parts 2-4 of An Unearthly Child.

[birdtomahawk]

that was brilliant, you make it seem so much more exciting than it really is!

[Kelvington]

Very Well Done!

[FarFlav]

Why the BBC hasn't hired you to make trailers for their DVD releases I will have no idea

[thecheesepoet]

that was awesome! i love the music!

[dewocket]

wonderful as usual!

[andyjimbo2006]

Absolutely terrific. Could you maybe turn your skills to a trailer for season 24 to make it look like the best season ever??

[thatenglishkid]

Now THAT would be a challenge xD

[InterloperTVandFilm]

season 24 wasn't that bad lol, nothing can beat season 23 tho

[Cyclonius49]

absolutely amazing

you managed to make both an unearthly child and the edge of destruction look so much better than they actually are

[blackeaglemovies]

If that trailer was broadcast on National Television, I would go straight to the DVD Store and buy 'The Beginning' DVD Box Set. FANTASTIC WORK, AND WELL DONE!

[birdtomahawk]

i would do it if it was on here!

[littleshit2507]

superb, truly...superb

[GrandMasterBremen]

That was ... EPIC!! You are awesome!!!

You should do a video like that for the Key to Time serials. :-)

[stuneck]

This is incredible. I only have a two minor complants, I think it would have been better as three seperate trailers, and the dalek one would have been better if it ended with "it is nearly completed." But other then that it is INCREDIBLE!

[TARDISDOWNUNDER]

wonderful. Am putting this in my favourites for when people who never heard of the original Doctor is around, I can show them some great quality original who. You sure you don't work for 2entertain or the BBC? Stuff looks so professional.

[flclbitch]

i love every one of your videos amd this i must say, watching brought tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful keep it up

[TheCoOrdinator]

Babel, I've subscribed to your channel for a while and have enormous respect for your colourisation efforts. Therefore it's a bit ironic that my first comment for one of your videos is on a black and white offering!!

However, this is simply excellent stuff. Many thanks for your countless hours of effort and long may it continue.

C=O

[archdelux]

awesome video i am a huge doctor who fan

[heat000]

Once again, a great video.

[tardiselliot]

superb title sequence really well made. the trailer seems to make the edge of destruction far more interesting. (trouble with that episode was really the resolution

[BabelColour]

I think the main trouble with that story is that it is so unnaturalistic. Some very odd acting choices and artificial delivery of the dialogue. It was obviously intentional to make it all a bit wierder, but it seems very dated now and too much like a 1960s play.

[tardiselliot]

yeah i know what u mean.

i didnt get the over the top screamin at mealted clock faces n that. just seemed obserd. your trailer makes it look like its a story of someone being possessed by an alien. looks far more interesting. so very well done on ur editing

[BabelColour]

Cheers shankstko. I'm glad you think so :)

[vanillaorchid]

Great trailer Babel.

Personally I'm very excited about The War Games being released this year.

[BabelColour]

Oh so am I vanillaorchid, so am I! I don't think that particular story drags at all, even though it went on for ten weeks. And seeing it fully restored is making me itch with anticipation :)

[vanillaorchid]

Oh yes. The ten episodes fly by, and I always get choked up in the final episode.

[harrietamidala1691]

I also felt like crying when I saw the final episode of the war games.

[whitfordcook]

Amazing trailer, and such an incredible tension build up. I need to go and re-watch them now!

[phoenixshroud]

Excellent work, it's not long until The Romans and The Chase are released on DVD.

[BabelColour]

I know, and I'm terribly excited by that release: I just adore 'The Romans'. It's one of my favourite stories. (And it contains the single best fluff in the history of Doctor Who - just watch how uncomfortable Tavius looks when he has to wait almost a minute to be asked what a positorium is! Hahahaha. It's sublimely painful to watch)

[haynesy2008]

W.O.W.

[Rokenes]

you are very good. Oh yes..

[timelordfromhell]

just a PERFECT trailer for the first three...best ive seen! well done :)

[JoelCornah]

Fantastic! You actually made Edge of Destruction look interesting! ;P

I love the way you cut together The Daleks trailer. Amazingness!

[BabelColour]

Hahahaha. 'The Edge Of Destruction' is certainly an odd storey. Very stagey - like a 1960s edition of 'Play For Today'. But it has its merits.

[lukepietnik]

Wowzer. That's stupendous!

[BabelColour]

It's fantastic you think so lukepietnik. Thank you.

[timekiller4k8]

another master pice

[BabelColour]

Thanks timekiller4k8. i'm delighted you enjoyed it.

[Shimah930]

the new episode midnight uses fear in the same way as the edge of destruction.

[BabelColour]

I think 'Midnight' rather inspired my choice of quotes for this trailer - the idea that there was an alien hiding inside one of the crew. It's a bit deceptive though - the episode has nothing to do with that at all!

[Tomthetrainfan]

i got this in 2007 for my birthday. great boxset and brilliant trailer! 10/10

[TheMaverickKing]

That was... wow. Superbly done.

[BabelColour]

That's nice of you to say so TheMaverickKing

[WhoFan9]

That was just fantastic!!!
