Dr Who - Regeneration scenes - 1 thru 8

[20centuryfox100]

@giles166, woah, attitude much?

[soiced223]

1:07 and 1:43 are scary in one bones can be seen :/ and other is freaking creepy.

[eb3fan]

The regeneration from 2 to 3 was weird.

[4nim3fr33k]

The "only twelve regenerations" was a law on Gallifrey, so really, now that Gallifrey is gone, the Doctor can regenerate as many times as he wants!

[ravergirl1385]

ITS AMAZING HOW TECHLOGY EFFECTS HAVE CHANGED.....WOW

[ConspireToConspire]

I know everything! I am everything! There can be only one!

[gavinmorris]

McCoy to McGann was my favourite. Though I loved the first one. "Take if from f16 to f4, switch the twats, and then take it back down again, sllllloooowwwwlly."

[Kauwhaka]

The original storyline said that a doctor / timelord could regenerate up to 12 times. Then they die for good. I wonder if they will sneak in a few more past 12 just to keep the story going?

[jalacy93]

@Kauwhaka "the doctor can regenerate up to 500 times" they keep destroying what was said in past series even past episodes with the new screwdriver theory

[Karralmer]

@Kauwhaka Since he's half-human I have the theory his first was his HUMAN life, so he should have twelve AFTER that. However because of his connection to the TARDIS he may be able to use that for other ones. The TARDIS, like him, It the last of it's kind so I doubt any other Time Lord have developed such a link to the machine before. Even The Master, who's TARDIS wasn't a faulty model like the Doctors, didn't have such a connection, he probably saw his as just a machine, not like the Doctor.

[larrystarstruck]

I think this show had years of great writing. To keep such a character fresh after all these years is a task and loved the fact that each actor brought something new to the Doctor.

[chitybelus]

What the hack is this shit..? lol it sucks so much

[DoctorWhoRocks10000]

At the end bit I was like 'ITS ALIVE!'

[kirafaye]

Gotta love watching the special effects as they get better.

[MDkid1]

the dr who regenerations from the past were so....uninspiring.

[Chequeredpenguins]

darn, what happened to the glowy golden light 

[1023497685]

LOL i did knew that doctor who was that old i thought that 2005 was the first year of doctowr who!!!!!!1 ><

[LonesomePine369]

@1023497685 what?! Doctor who first came out in 1963! then ended in 1989! then they started it again in 2005!

[matt2house]

I say the tom baker one was probably more emotionally gripping since he was the best doctor that his era of 7 years was coming to an end. And seeing all the recent companions that travelled with him gave a touch to it.

[murrangurk]

This made me sad! Ah the memories...

[doafder]

Peter Davidson looks like he is covered in cobwebs!

[Ibringthetruth1]

Young Dr whos suck.

bring back the older gents.

[LeonSKennedy828]

Both are good, why are so many fans eltist to one or the other? :/

[DarthAlDark]

stop! your making me giddy!

[HBKaus]

The fifth Doctor's regeneration is still the best IMO! The funeral-like bell tolling in the background.... Davison's sacrifice to save Peri... the hallucinations.... The fifth Doctor's echoing last word "Adric!?".... Simply brilliant....

[Starkiller1234765]

ye she is i agree totaly he thinks hes the best

[filrut]

Tegan was infinitely more annoying than Davison

[VirgilwithanE]

What about Colin Baker? lol

[Glenn1967ful]

Actually the Tom Baker/ Peter Davidson regeneration was the best as he has flashbacks to K9 and The Brigadier while he is regenerating.

[Hannaheitana1997]

The 8th doctor was my aunties cousin

[Hannaheitana1997]

The 8th doctor was my aunties cousin

[hentaitrek]

I like to think that 8-9 happened during the Time War.

[Rodan324]

you forgot the eighth regeneration

[GuitarHeroZac]

if you are smart enough they didnt show the eith doctors regeneration because the show finished before they did it so people have just made them duhhhh

[TheWraith]

what show ?

it was a movie duhhh lol

[GuitarHeroZac]

if you think youre so smart answer this what does the red and the blue mean in the time vortex and how old presicly (the show ) is doctor who

[TheWraith]

didn't the show start in 1963?

red & blue?, no idea

i could google it, but why would i?

i dont think im smart (you do)

im not a dr who nerd

8th doctor is from Liverpool & so am I

its clear by "show" you mean series & season... wich it was a tv movie

not a show

thats not tryna be smart

its correcting a factual error on my video page.. ws wrong with that ? lol

[tornadoe13]

@TheWraith

red means going forward in time

blue means going back in time

[0willbecome100]

isn't blue travelling through space and red time

Or it is forwards or backwards in time

[Lozimia2]

@GuitarHeroZac ...I know you said that 3 months ago but why the fuck does anyone need to prove they're smart by knowing those details?

[ajman55]

@GuitarHeroZac the red and blue are space and time travel, not sure which is which but thats my guess

[SweeneyToddFanatic2]

@GuitarHeroZac, the red means they are going forward in time, and the blue means they're going backwards

[rifraf]

@GuitarHeroZac blue means forward in time, red means back

[PaintMaryconley]

@GuitarHeroZac dr #1 lasted 3 yrs was like 650 years old .......see below ..... although 250-350 is a better approx based on other data .

dr #2 lasted 3 yrs 450 years

dr #3 lasted 4 yrs 749

dr #4 lasted 7 yrs

dr #5 lasted 3 yrs

[PaintMaryconley]

@GuitarHeroZac dr #6 lasted 3 yrs 900

dr #7 lasted 2 yrs 1,000

dr #8 lasted 1 movie the Eighth Doctor declared his age to be 1,012 in Vampire Science by Orman and Jonathan Blum. The Eighth Doctor spent nearly a century on Earth during a story arc spread over several novels, and also spent around 100 years asleep in The Sleep of Reason by Martin Day.

[PaintMaryconley]

Furthermore, in the Big Finish Productions audio play Orbis the Eighth Doctor says that he has spent 600 years living on the planet Orbis since the last play Vengeance of Morbius. In the same play he states that he lost count of his true age a long time previously and that he rounds it down and takes into account the different lengths of what is called a "year" in different locations.

[PaintMaryconley]

dr #9 lasted 1 yrs "Nine hundred years of phone box travel and it's the only thing left that surprises me", plus 236 age when he first "borrowed" the tardis =1136

dr #10 lasted 5 yrs 906? years traveled or age .can we add 236 to this then too, 1142

tenth...906+- 236= ?

the 11th Dr states his last age at 907.. but again since it has been previously states that he lost count we can +- 236 since he was 236 when he initially stole..uh. went joy riding ...and borrowed . the tardis..

[kingcollie]

@PaintMaryconley think about it, he's a time lord, age does not exist within him as he defies time and logic. gawl!

[Lovelygal152]

@GuitarHeroZac When the Vortex is blue, they're traveling back in time and when it is red, they are traveling forward in time, right?

[makarov22112211]

@GuitarHeroZac  i can answer that the red means future and blue means past and the show started in 1963

[aarondirebear]

Waiiit isnt the Hartnell-Troughton regeneration lost to the ages?

[TheWraith]

i belive the episode its self is missing, but that clip seam'd to survive, although i could be wrong, its been a while since i got this clip

[bryemycaz]

The whole episode is but the regen scene was shown on Blue Peter and That is what survived.

[judasatan]

Man, I can't wait for the Doctor Who anime.

[TheWraith]

you mean the BBC web site things they do in macomedia flash ?

or an anim on tv ?

[judasatan]

The one Otaking is making. It looks awesome so far.

[VortexOfTime2]

He means the New Doctor Who Cartoon that is coming in november

[TheWraith]

i'l keep an eye for it :)

[nellytheninkynonk]

the second one was pretty bad.

STOP! YOU'RE MAKING ME GIDDY!

[riaminal]

creepy and not even a proper regeneration

[nellytheninkynonk]

Agreed.

[riaminal]

but then again he was exiled and forced to regenerate

[SuperPRIMEproduction]

wo was

[riaminal]

the 2nd doctor to 3rd doctor

[TheWraith]

google ya lazy git lol

[eateroftheflame]

I thought they lost the footage of the episode where the first doctor regenerated.

[TheWraith]

i think they just lost the episode its self

[eateroftheflame]

I looked it up, they lost all the episode except the regeneration and a few seconds before because it was used on Blue Peter or something.

[murphyse14boy]

they lost the episode but the footage was shown in a blue peter episode and thats why this footage survived

[torchwood10]

i dont think the ones when he saw his past companions worked realy. it sort of messed it up and made it soppy.The best way to see a regeneration is through the eyes of the companion like in 'parting of the ways'

[timelordavenger]

The 7th regeneration was horrific

[zerocks88]

I don't quite understand why it's different each time but in the new series it's the same thing with both the doctor and the master.. very odd

[Klurty34]

Cool, thanks for putting this on

[doctorwho19632004]

personally i always thought the 7th to 8th wasnt great, but he was still perfect for the doctor !

[Wildforcefrvr32]

Personally the 7th-8th Doctors Regeneration was the best

[inyuyasha321]

i like the tenth doctor the most

[giles166]

@inyuyasha321 i dont shut up newbie.

[felipezorro]

@inyuyasha321 LOL , he is damn good indeed

[LightningT5]

1.40 in this video: What a horrific end to what was one of my favourite doctors, not only did it heavily displease many C Baker fans, it also gave Slvester McCoy an awful start in Time and the fuckin Rani.

[ziggytim]

calm down son.

[sector004]

what happened to jon pertwee, did he trip and fall in some leaves? lol.

[TARDISGirl78]

this is good and it's not eight minutes long like the one i have on my myspace profile

[alexbaxthedarkside]

ACTUALLY, Now i look at it again, the 8th Doctors regeneration looks SCARY.

i only saw it the once it aired on tv, i remembered Sylvester McCoy pulling facess as he reformed into Paul McGann, actually, it looks pretty damn good ^^

[alexbaxthedarkside]

Tom Baker Easily had the most awsome regeneration, but i do love the regeneration from the new one, it was and still is awsome!!

[JamesCPotter13]

Wait...he said he's always wanted to be ginger but it looks like the 6th Doctor actually was.

[AJBrewers]

Thanks for this. I've loved watching all the regeneration scenes since I was a child.

[CyberImperial]

i was watching the episode where doctor 5 enters (castrovalva is it?) and it's really strange and comedic.

[tenchnio]

the doctor may have been half human in the 1996 tv movie that is to say he might have had altered himself through the chameleon arch long before to give himself human characteristics.

[TheWraith]

hes always been half human (this is what gives him the urge for exploration) its why he never fitted in on galifrey & its also why we as humans interested him so much (not that that's an official BBC thing) its just my opinion :)

[wight1984]

Pretty clearly abandoned in the new series though.

[zionic144nz]

10 Doctors so far. apparently a Timelord only has 12 regenerations. also, it was revealed in the Mcgann 1996 movie that the Doctor is actually half human!

[dogpup4]

a timelord has 13 regenerations doesnt it?

[banneradders]

12 - totalling 13 differnt bodies

[dogpup4]

it said on the doctor who website or something that because the timelords are dead who knows how many regenerations?

[banneradders]

Timelords are allowed 12 regenerations each. However when Rose looked into the time vortex she bought Jack back to life for good...so like you say...maybe she perverted the Doctors existence also and given him unlimited regerations.

[dogpup4]

Yeah, but it said that because the timelords are dead he doesn't have to go by the Gallifreyan law and can regenerate as many times as he can

[banneradders]

Very true. But then with no Gallifreyan council, who would hand out the regenerations (see The Five Doctors). Unless of course he nicked the machine before the planet went pop in the time war.

Have you seen todays episode btw - weird lol

[dogpup4]

Todays episode was kinda stupid, it was obvious they should have thrown her out at the end. I don't think it was the Doctor's hardest challenge yet like it said in the magazine...

[banneradders]

i agree, not so much a challenge when he got braindrained anyway. Just one of them stories about human morality that pads a series out.

[alguy63]

Exactly! They offered the Master a new Life cycle in that story as payment for helping them rescue the Doctor from the Death Zone. And apparantly they weren't just talking out of their hats, because they did give the Master a new regen-cycle during the Timewar. This was proven by the fact that he could regenerate again properly in the new series, whereas he was unable to from the 4th Doctor's era onwards.

[alguy63]

It's got nothing to do with Gallifreyan law. 13 lives isn't a choice, it's a biological imperative written into the Timelords' DNA by Rassilon, millenia ago. He settled on 13 life cycles so that they wouldn't be affected by increasing cellular degradation past that point. 13 Bodies is the limit set by the classic series; So unless the Doctor finds the High council members alive someplace, the writers will have to break continuity to go beyond that.

[dogpup4]

And how might I ask do you know?

[jamanticus]

You might look it up on Wikipedia.

[dogpup4]

It's probably wrong. Anyway, the BBC website said that since the time lords are dead, who knows.

[WrongRoadRailways]

That, of course, is believing the dreadful new series. IMO, Gallifrey still exists with all the Time Lords. Even then, not all Time Lords are dead in the new series - they forgot Professor Chronotis from Shada who lives on earth ;)

[shawnmcghee1]

And what about Romana? Is she still alive in E-space?

[penguin1234554321]

The fact that a timelord ha only 13 lives is told by the eight doctor at the start of the TV movie, but why, i dont exactly know.

[Spazchu]

How did you get the episode clips?

[TheWraith]

off winmx about 2 years ago and i just added the missing re-gens using a couple of eps from a "torrent"

[SamCoburn]

It still makes me laugh seeing Sylvester Mccoy in a blonde curley wig! Colin Baker refused to film his demise after being sacked! The miserable bastard!

[TheWraith]

lol, i always found it weird how they had Colin Baker in that episode as a gaurd on galifrey whith peter davidson playing the doctor, i cant remember the ep name though but the high council plan to kill the dr & colin is basicly the main police man in the episode lol

[digipeeper]

The Arc of Infinity

[frobinhood]

how many dr's have there been?

i dont really like the 1 after tom baker

tom baker was the best

[cottonwhiskersuk]

Allow me to field this one:

In the old-school series, in order: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy.

In the post-millenium series: Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.

In films: Peter Cushing (1960s) and Paul McGann (1990s).

So, if I have done my homework right, there have been eleven.

[SaintHannah93]

yes but doesnt one of the film doctors count because he wasnt actually a timelord he was just a man who made machines??

[alguy63]

That's true, the Peter Cushing Doctor was just a brilliant human scientist who created a time and space machine and got into adventures testing it out. (The TARDIS interior in the Peter Cushing movies looked nothing like the (Much better) TARDIS interior in the show.)- I'm just saying.

[iilwjcanc]

Peter Cushing wasn't considered as part of the canon of the series though, as it was made 'by the back door' and not with the original writers of the main series. David Tennant is officially the tenth doctor.

[ziggytim]

and the animated "scream of the shalka" doctor, sometimes referred to as the alternated ninth. he was voiced by sir derek jacobi, who later went on to play the 5th incarnation of the master.

[ziggytim]

wait, my mistake. he was voiced by richard e grant. never mind.

[digipeeper]

Well wouldn't you be miserable if you love your job and your company sack you with no reason other then freshing the show up with your replacement. C.Baker would have tried to break Tom's record with more then 7 seasons. But with lame scripts, stories,character, and of course ratings. Most fans would want a new start. McCoy in the other hand would too want to top Tom's epic season!

[AndrewHawke]

Check out ange728 channel - he's hosting practically every Tom Baker episode ever made.

[TheWraith]

sweeeet :)

il have to add a load to the quick list and crash here one night lol

[AndrewHawke]

That was the saddest day of my life - the 'Logopolis' finale when Tom Baker is replaced by that public school boy prat. Good to see the Hartnell and Pertwee regenerations finally. I only ever read them in the novels.

[TheWraith]

isohunt dude :)

im currently collecting ;)

[Kihotay]

School boy prat? Talking out of your arse mate, Davison rocked and saved the franchise because Baker (even though I think he's great) had flushed the series down the toilet during season 17 (18 was much better admitedly). Contrary to opinion, viewing figures climbed again after Davison took over.

[AndrewHawke]

Oh, he 'rocked' did he? I can't think of a memorable Davison story, besides 'Earthshock'. And Tom Baker had no part in ruining the series, towards his end. Put the blame firmly on Nathan-Turner, and the mediocre writers he brought on board.

[Ashworth6]

Actually, Baker has admitted in recent interviews that he did misbehave towards the end of his reign, was fed up but didn't have the nerve to resign and went into autopilot for a while. In his final season, Nathan-Turner became producer and wouldn't tolerate any of this nonsense from Baker, made him work and extracted some of his finest performances. In "Logopolis". There he has the melancholy look of a man who knows his time is up, probably art imitating life. And I am a big Tom Baker fan.

[alexbaxthedarkside]

Hmm thats pretty interesting,

Logopolis is a personal fave of mine as Tom Baker episodes go. I thought Tom BAKER BY FAR HAD THE BEST REGENERATION SEQUENCE EVER ^^ until i saw the regeneration of the new Doctor who, and that was awsome ^^
