@MaskedMan66 That's true. The disorienting pace can simply be chalked up to the Rani fucking with time.
As for the Fourth Doctor looking the way he does, just say its due to the aforementioned timefuckery. The capture of One and Two is having a deteriorating effect on him. He DOES act as if he's ailing. That could extend to all the Doctors looking older. This is touched upon in "Timecrash"
The Sixth Doctor meeting the brigadier, Nyssa and Peri together, Davison and Pertwees performance and of course any chance to see Ace, the best and most redeemable parts of this story, it just didn't make sense, Tom Baker in that room with the mike and no wig, the random switching of doctors and companions for no reason, why that girl in dungries pushed liz off of rani and then ran off, why romana was there, if I had to put this into canon i would say a dream, a wacked out dream in the Tardis
SO confused. Cute as a Children in Need story, I like seeing all the Doctors together, but it didn't make ANY logical sense at all, could barely keep up, and didn't understand how random companions kept appearing like Victoria and Susan.
There are a lot of Deleted Scenes which would have made this a lot better, such as originally there was going to be shts from the 60's used at the begining and end. I've posted all the deleted scenes.
I just thought, you know how some new doctor who episodes have either similiar stories or nods to classic episodes?
Well does anyone remember the interactive Attack Of The Graske episode???
The graske's plan is very similiar to the Rani's in this, he replaces the poulation of planets with clones of creatures he captured and put in a frozen state, not far off from this. Except I don't quite get the main reason for the rani's capturing, probably the same sort of idea.
@doctorsdaughter01 Romana was not a human, but as the doctors switched around so did the companions. so when the rani made a clone of a companion, she made it of romana, and then the companion switched to a human.
Actually, thinking in continuity, since when did the doctor gain jedi telekenesis to contact... himself? Does he use it a lot? Honestly it's creative I guess but it's never been mentioned before or since.
Also despite this gets mocked the hell out of it I think in this Jon Pertwee coins a phrase that sounds like a more appropriate title for this: "Confusion In Time".
Also "and with it evolution is her's to control".... how does THAT work?!!
The whole Timebrains thing doesen't make much sense.
This was a funny little thing. I love the concept of more Doctors together. I'd love a "11 Doctors" 45 min episode, even if that would sadly mean 3 replacement actors.
@CastChaos I doubt an actual episode would be possible as it would take more than 45 minutes and the BBC doesn't seem to be able to give for than that much, but a book or audio CD would be epic!
Doctors and/or companions in order of appearance: The Fifth Doctor, Peri and Nyssa The Third Doctor and Liz The Third Doctor and a UNIT soldier The Third Doctor and the Brigadier The Sixth Doctor and the Brigadier Romana The Third Doctor and Victoria The Seventh Doctor and Leela The Seventh Doctor, Ace and K9 The Third Doctor The Fifth Doctor The Fourth Doctor The Seventh Doctor, Ace and K9 (cont.) The First and Second Doctors The Seventh Doctor, Ace and K9 (cont. again)
I never thought much of the seventh doctor and always wondered why. Now i realize why. it's the utterly demented start and the rubbish effects. Utterly terrible.
I think the best way to explain it is the Rani is trying to get the Doctor's previous incarnations for some reason or another. Because she's trying to get the actual specimens at the same time, and it's not an emergency, they're not able to stay in the same place. That also brings confusion in the form of Ace changing into some of the incarnations (i.e. Romana to Leela), and others who were from one of those three years able to join in with the Doctor (i.e. Sarah Jane and three).
@jadewarlock As far as the companions recognizing the Doctor, they'd know that he's the one because weird stuff's happening and - at least here - they've all been women, so he's the only male therefore the Doctor.
Yeah... still confusing but that's my understanding of it.
Only things certain - Troughton and Hartnell are dead, hence the waxworks of their heads for the floating head bit, and an 11 Doctors will have 8 surviving Doctors if they all came there (Pertwee died in 1996).
@jadewarlock Exactly; consider how in "Battlefield" the Brigadier knew full well that the Doctor was the Doctor, even though he hadn't seen him in his seventh form yet. As the Brig said, "Who else would it be?"
@jadewarlock That's because this wasn't created by drug addicts for drug addicts. It was a fun, daft, and in its way poignant romp through the Whoniverse.
@MaskedMan66 Obviously you haven't studied the Monkees. Yes, they did smoke pot and were a bit high when "Head" was written, they for the most part have since recovered (Peter I think still struggles off and on.)
And yes - this makes more sense than a lot of movies - even well thought out ones.
Apparently people also take what I say here a bit TOO seriously.
@jadewarlock Oh, I know from the Monkees and I know they've had their problems and have dealt/are dealing with them. I don't see where you thought I didn't.
I've always considered DiT a DW home movie; like a family's home movie, it's just a straight-up joy to see everyone.
I enjoyed this. Just nice to see the Doctors all back again. It's not to be taken too seriously, although it is all in-character and can be seen as a true Doctor Who story. Not a great one, but a fun one.
@doctorwhoobawooba Warning:Could be long! Anyway the lady with da gun and the.......guy wit her lets just say "take" the first and second doctors now since than The seventh doctor keeps on switching back to his 6,5,4,3 incarnations......in this case his past selves! The only way to zap back every is too....ether kill da lady or....well let the doctor think of something.....
@VerbrannteSchatten It's likely they offered him one but he refused. Originally he wanted to have him get shot in the face and have his brains explode from the back of his head and splatter all over the screen but JNT thankfully said no.
This really is bad, so bad infact it needs confiding to the rubbish bin, ok this was for charity but for fucks sake at least they could have done a more proffessional job on acting and story.
4:20, what the hell? Did the lights go off in the TARDIS? This is very poorly made, even more low budget than Doctor Who itself. The main problem is that somehow earlier companions recognize later doctors.
HEY! Wait a second, How could Victoria Waterfield recognize the doctor in his third incarnation if she only met his second incarnation? And on a similar note, at 3:42 how could Leela recognize the 7th doctor if she only met the 4th doctor.
Whoever wrote this did a very poor job with the companion team-ups.
@frankydman They did a very innovative job, and why don't you put your imagination to the task of answering those questions instead of asking them?
Clearly, the companions were swapping places and times with each other with such rapidity that they began sharing memories, so knew who the Doctor was in any incarnation. At first, of course, neither Ace nor Susan spotted him, but that was before things really got going.
At least that's one explanation. Frankly, I thought Three and Victoria worked.
More detailed answer: It can be safely assumed that each Doctor-- as was the case with the Sixth Doctor and Ace-- made himself known to any companion who wasn't sure. As for Leela, you must remember she wound up on Gallifrey, where I'm sure she must have kept up with news about the Doctor and more than likely knew every face he'd worn between the time she left him and the Time War began.
It's an atrocious mish mash. The Tennant Christmas special with Davidson was much better, even though most Tennant stories are a series of crescendos and him yelling "Brilliant! OH SNAP BRILLIANT! NO MORE DEATHS TODAY!"
Ok, so let me get this straight. The various doctors and companions were trapped in a certain point on earth in three different years. Every now and then, there would be a... flux (If that is the proper term) and the companions and doctors would be transferred to another year. Yet somehow, everytime the doctor changed, certain companions would still recognize the doctor even though they didn't meet the doctor in that particular form?
@MalashiPictures "Time Crash" was a Children in Need special made mainly for laughs, and that was excellent. This is just an unentertaining, ugly mess.
@MalashiPictures It's not meant to be stupid, it's meant to be fun, and people who were around at that time had a sense of fun. Sadly, very few people do these days.
@TemporalSpleen And yet, here was the Doctor back on T.V., still with a legion of fans, a series of (largely rubbish) "New Adventures" in the book stores, a DW radio play starring Jon Pertwee on the air, a successful stage play from the late 80's fresh in fans' minds, and constant rumors and negotiations going on.
Truly, he was difficult to get rid of! And of course we now know, his future was, if not in safe hands, at least assured.
Louise Jameson told the story at a convention I attended that the costume department gave her an outfit that looked to her like a potato sack, so with their permission, she took it home and added color and accessories to it and produced what you see here. So if you don't like what Leela herself made, take it up with her!
And how exactly is this more cringe making, confusing and dificult to place within continuity than timecrash and it has 5 doctors, 5 doctors, really. I love this And 2 entertain you are absolutelty going to have to release this. this is excellent it even has the 3d vortex from the uber cool matt smith trailer and comeon 3,5,6, and 7 are really active in it while poor old f4 is the obligatory doctor caught in a time bubble.
This is excellent, fantastic and what every fan prays for.
OMG Liz attacked the Rani after the doctor told her not to, Romana's a total bitch, Victoria looks like she 70, Lelia not hot anymore, but on the plus side k-9 and sarha jane looks the same.
@zvi303 I noticed the same thing! As an American myself, her accent was always so horrendous. Of course, she only had two, maybe three lines? It'd be hard for even her to mess it up!

I wish people wouldn't over react at this, its for Children in Need - it's meant to be stupid. It's for a laugh.

@MalashiPictures "Time Crash" was a Children in Need special made mainly for laughs, and that was excellent. This is just an unentertaining, ugly mess.

@MalashiPictures It's not meant to be stupid, it's meant to be fun, and people who were around at that time had a sense of fun. Sadly, very few people do these days.

The last line seems somewhat misplaced, seeing as the show had been cancelled 4 years earlier.

@TemporalSpleen And yet, here was the Doctor back on T.V., still with a legion of fans, a series of (largely rubbish) "New Adventures" in the book stores, a DW radio play starring Jon Pertwee on the air, a successful stage play from the late 80's fresh in fans' minds, and constant rumors and negotiations going on.
Truly, he was difficult to get rid of! And of course we now know, his future was, if not in safe hands, at least assured.

What in the world is Leela wearing? Since when was she dressed in fake Native American dress?

@snapecharmer Try Gallifreyan Shobogan dress.
Louise Jameson told the story at a convention I attended that the costume department gave her an outfit that looked to her like a potato sack, so with their permission, she took it home and added color and accessories to it and produced what you see here. So if you don't like what Leela herself made, take it up with her!

And how exactly is this more cringe making, confusing and dificult to place within continuity than timecrash and it has 5 doctors, 5 doctors, really. I love this And 2 entertain you are absolutelty going to have to release this. this is excellent it even has the 3d vortex from the uber cool matt smith trailer and comeon 3,5,6, and 7 are really active in it while poor old f4 is the obligatory doctor caught in a time bubble.
This is excellent, fantastic and what every fan prays for.

I don't know why people rag on this so much - it's a fun bit of fluff.

OMG Liz attacked the Rani after the doctor told her not to, Romana's a total bitch, Victoria looks like she 70, Lelia not hot anymore, but on the plus side k-9 and sarha jane looks the same.

I once got outbid on ebay for a bootleg copy of Dimensions in Time (I hadn't seen it at the time). After seeing it now, I'm glad I got outbid

Peri's American accent seems to have improved.
Oh, c'mon, it's cute. Not like thay knew the series would have been revived.
zvi303 2 years ago
@zvi303 I noticed the same thing! As an American myself, her accent was always so horrendous. Of course, she only had two, maybe three lines? It'd be hard for even her to mess it up!

If she's been cloned, how does the Doctor know she's the real one?

Poor Jon! He was a great doctor. Even if this story didn't make any sense at least the acting is good!
