"Do you have children?" || The Doctor (Doctor Who)

[BlackBeltTimeLord]

Be right back; gonna go cry my eyes out. Brilliant job. In my opinion, I think the Doctor was lying when he said to Amy and Rory that it was his cot; I've got a feeling that he really did have kids once. Hm, we could always ask River. Haha. Brilliant job mate; well done.

[lovingrussellhowardx]

Aww I love Amy's 'follow up' question at 0:26 :'(

[PhoenixWormwood137]

wow :') great job.

[AtarahDerek]

That was HIS?? And he's USING it????? That thing is centuries old! It should be carefully preserved and put in a museum! Even if it IS his kids' it should STILL be preserved and put in a museum! This man has no appreciation for antiques!

[KendrixTermina]

@AtarahDerek XD With all the uber technology they had, making a cot last for millenia shouldn't be a problem for the Time Lords.

[DrWhopotte]

0:19

Amy: Doctor, do you have chocolate?

Doctor: No

[Mickeely2014]

I know in the 60s they showed his grandaughter Susan. But he says (or it sounds like) his children are dead. (so I guess he took care of susan after her parents death) but that's really sad. Also I am watching a doctor who movie from 66 and he has a niece!?

its moments like this scene  that I want to know more about the doctor and know his past, but then it takes the fun and the mystery out of it.

[lunarheart14]

Don't forget about Susan!!! Susan was the doctor's granddaughter!

They were together when he escaped Gallifrey.

[AtarahDerek]

@lunarheart14 Whatever happened to her, anyway? She wasn't on Gallifrey when it was destroyed as far as I know.

Or could she maybe come back one day?  Because that would be epic.

[KendrixTermina]

@AtarahDerek She was left on earth to marry some guy she'd fallen in love with, but since the time lords never had any problems with tracking down the Doctor or the Master (and seeing how the latter had to go as far as disguising himself as a human and fleeing to the end of the universe) it's fairly probable that she got dragged into the war.... Which, given her personality, wouldn't waste any time in making her lose it...

[kimmorin141]

thats so sad :( *sob*

[tigerlily536]

This was GORGEOUS! I was wondering which song from WallE is this? it's beautiful!

[JamieHowitt]

Why couldn't the Doctor have had a son? Or a son and daughter? Or several sons and daughters?

We know about one grandchild (Susan), but we know literally nothing about his children. People assume he just had one daughter, for some reason.

[sternbergzookie]

@JamieHowitt I've never come across /that/ fan untheory in particular, but I suppose it can be attributed to the episode "The Doctor's Daughter," in which there is no actual "daughter" but a female genetic replica christened "Jenny" by Donna. Fun fact: it is in that same episode that the Doctor confirms that he has had children--yes, multiple offspring canon--and that they are dead. It gets worse.

[NiamhAndAbi]

Ahhhhh he should tell them in the next series other wise they wont know about jenny or his granddaugter and thats slightly sad.... amy and rory should ask again and he will answer yes.... and and grandad....... then jenny and his granddaugther come back to say hello then stuff happends////////////..........­.........

[NinjaPotato01]

I really don't want Moffet to forget about the whole "the doctor's children" situation, like Davies did. And I hope that the doctor tells them. He has no reason to lie.

[251Willow]

The very fisrt episode of Doctor Who is called The Doctor's Granddaughter. To have a granddaughter you must have a daughter.

Also, there's that episode, The Doctor's Daughter.

[LilacDownDeep]

@251Willow No, it was called, "An Unearthly Child" But yes, The Doctor was a father, a grandfather, and if you consider the audio canon, a great grandfather.

[Annabella56]

@251Willow or a son!

[Annabella56]

@251Willow To have a granddaughter you need to have a child, it does not matter if they are male or female just that they breed a female child to be your granddaughter!

[evilpixiebosslina]

SPOLIER ALERT!!!!!(if u havent watched the episodes after this) GUESS WHO MELODY POND IS!!!! Here is a riddle summti along the lines of in this episode'The only pond in a forest is a river' (RIVER and then a melody can be part of a SONG (read the bits i have put in caps and there u go tht is who the baby is when shes older) River Song)

[sarahthecupcake1]

the doctor lies about him having children because his first compain was his grandaughter

[Alanthos17]

"It's my cot. I slept in there."

Rule 1...

[Annabella56]

@Alanthos17 it most likely was his cot, his children's and his grandchildren's cot. The Doctor is from the ruling elite of his planet, he was offered the Presidency of his planet at one point in time; that could be why he ran or another reason to protect his family or he found out something which he did not like e.g not getting involved in the lives of other planets.

[RawrMonstah21]

I wish they could elaborate on his family. It makes me kinda sad.

[XDreamHorsesX]

When he said "Any parent knows that" was he reffering to Amy? Because if he was, MOFFAT!

[emurphy66]

You should add a clip or two from "Closing Time" of him talking to Stormagedeon, Dark Lord of All.

[FaxModem1]

I do wish he had mentioned Susan, but I can understand his not wanting to, what with her being dead from the Dalek invasion timeline or wiped out in the Time War.

[SohiHien]

You can tell by how uncomfortable the doctor looks and how he pauses and doesn't answer the "have you ever had children" question that yes he was a father and a grandfather (it's canon). He just hasn't been those things in a long time since they are all dead and it obviously really upsets him to think about it so it's easier for him to just not really say anything. Plus it could be his cot and then used again when his kids were born.

[deathlist1005]

The doctor must have children because in the very first episodes that started in 1963 he travelled with Susan who was his natural granddaughter meaning that he must have had a child at some point.

[marillbuddy]

Aw. Sad, but a nice little connection of the different references to the Doctor's children.

(I always liked that one line from The Empty Child; "Before this war started I was a father and a grandfather... now I'm neither, but I'm still a doctor." "Yeah. I know the feeling.")

[Jinx903]

ahhh its sad but its a good link to the old series, you know it wasnt his cot really

.....and on that topic I was hoping Jenny was gonna pop up agin soon 50th anniversary would be good :)

[djwasser]

I don't remember what episode it was, but in one they were talking about kids and he said he was a dad once.

[ThreeWishesTooMany]

@djwasser Ten admitted it in both 'Fear Her' and 'The Doctor's Daughter'.

[sternbergzookie]

@ThreeWishesTooMany And Nine in "The Empty Child." Eleven has dodged the question in "The Beast Below" and "A Good Man Goes to War," and instead been adorable when confronted with children.

[FuryZila]

but he does have a kid that everybody has forgotten about -.- that girl i cant remember the name of, a machine took his DNA and then it made him a daughter, he thought she was dead by the end of the episode, but she's actually alive, and wandering around the time period where he left her.

-.-

wish she and him could collide at some point

[kingofgames1220]

@FuryZila Her name is Jenny and his first companion was his granddaughter so he obviously has had real children before and not just a person from a cell sample.

[OmegaShenron6574]

@FuryZila sigh... gender altered clone.... not daughter. you could call it a daughter in that sense like in bleach but not in the sense you assume

[MysteriousBrownEyes1]

@OmegaShenron6574 Well, in 1963 he travelled with his grandaughter. If he had a grandaughter he musta had a kid at some point.

[OmegaShenron6574]

@MysteriousBrownEyes1 yeah but jenny isn't that kid. gender altered clone

[Alleyneko]

I have an idea as to why jenny never became a companion...David tennant and the actress who played jenny were going out at the time, so I think it would have been awkward for her to be a companion. but now that david is not in the picture I think they should bring her back...and jack too!

[227060]

ah little does the Doctor know he does indeed have a child bcos Jenny is still out there somewhere. God i wish she'd become a regular companion

[1Kazis1]

The very first companion of Doctor Who was his granddaughter, Susan. But she falls in love with a freedom fighter called David in "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" in 1964. She returned in "The Five Doctors) in 1983, but no mention of David or what became of him were said. In "Father's Day" in 2005 the Doctor says all of his family is dead. So, he has been a father and a grandfather. You can see how uncomfortably the question of children makes, which I would use as an argument to back all I said up.

[Bellatrix1Lestrange1]

lol he haz children remember Jenny?

[XxLi3rose123xX]

@Bellatrix1Lestrange1 Yes, he does but he didn't mention her because he thinks she's still dead. When she isn't.. :S

[musesmoon]

WHats the doctor who epsidoe with the boy and the balloon?

[Jamestopboy]

@MegaHighlyflammable His wife, according to the novels, was a woman called Patience, so, presumably, it is her who is the mother.

[MegaHighlyflammable]

@Jamestopboy If he had children, then that means they were all time lords. didnt he kill all of the timelords, or wipe out the whole race? im not too sure, but if he did, then that means that he could have killed his children.

[Jamestopboy]

@MegaHighlyflammable That's probably why he didn't reply. He probably watched his own children die. After all, it is only He, Susan and The Master left in the universe, well, and Jenny and River too.

[MegaHighlyflammable]

@Jamestopboy Have you seen the new episode? apparently when river first regenerated into herself, she used all of her regeneration energy on the doctor to save his life. so technically does that mean that she is no longer a timelord as she can not regenerate again?

[Jamestopboy]

@MegaHighlyflammable She IS still a timelord, as the Doctor will still be a timelord in his 13th regeneration and he won't be able to regenerate anymore, but, now, because of River, he has all her remaining regenerations, thus, he has another 9 added onto the 13! The series can go on!

[227060]

@Jamestopboy ah highly debatable friend. why did river need to give up all her regernrations to merely heal him? would 1 or 2 suffice? but honestly we'll never know till dr #13 leaves the shwo. frankly i hope they play it as if he is indeed the last and then do something to avoid it bcos it will be like the Doctor genuinly dying, as opposed to metaphorically dying or dying with maybe a hope of him regenerating.

[Jamestopboy]

@227060 The Doctor even said that she gave up her remaining regenerations to save him.

[227060]

@Jamestopboy yeah...but that doesn't necesarrily=he gets all her regenerations now, it just definitvly (as definitivly as can be possible in sci-fi) confirms that River cannot regenerate

[Jamestopboy]

@227060 True enough.

[227060]

@Jamestopboy mhmm

[Cheater306]

@Jamestopboy The Council of Gallifrey determind the number of additional regenerations. And oh wait the Council is no longer so he can have more then 21 and more additional regenerations. So we can have a very lot of story for DW.

[Jamestopboy]

@Cheater306 True. And, as The Tenth Doctor said: Since he is the last timelord, the laws of time are his to command.

[Cheater306]

@Jamestopboy But i think regeneration has a Limit for the Doctor, at naturally way. In the SJS Adventerues he says he got 507 regenerations and thats the end. But he find a way to live longer then that. maybe he will become a fix point in time like Captain Jack

[Jamestopboy]

@Cheater306 Russell T. Davies confirmed that the 507 thing was a joke. If you add 5 + 0 + 7 together, then you get 12, which is the number of regenerations the Doctor has until he finally dies. So, you see, he DOESN'T have 507, he has 12. Captain Jack is only a fixed point in time because Rose interferred; if Rose did not interfere, then Jack would have died. It's HER fault that Jack is a fixed point in several hundred time periods.

[Cheater306]

@Jamestopboy Oh sorry. I mean I don´t think he can regenerate really 507 times. I mean so more then 100 times and I know that it was Roses fault that´s why I say maybe. I hope you can understand my point of view better.

[shygirl7]

great video.

[KendrixTermina]

@DarkDarsi Exactly. Various episodes briefly mention Children or a family of sorts.

[KendrixTermina]

@MegaHighlyflammable Obviously some lucky Time Lady who was, going by previously observed tendency, most likely blonde or a redhead and notably younger than him. But he DID have a family, his very first companion was in fact, his Granddaughter. He wasn't in touch with them, tough, he never visited them when he stopped by on Gallifrey (when it still existed) and by his seventh incarnation, he didn't have the faintest clue what had become of them... and now, he knows they're probably dead...

[Calriec]

You should have included the scene from "Fear Her" where the Tenth Doctor tells Rose he was a dad once.

[Maul547]

LOVED IT!!!!!

[mattmanganon]

he did have a daughter... well he had a clone... but he treated her as a daughter. David Tennants Doctor

[TheRedLittleGirl]

I was going "Susan?!" at the screen when I watched this... And even though it was his cot from the beginning, other kids might have slept there as well. Also made me think of Fear her when the Doctor and Rose talks about kids, and he goes like "i was a dad once." and Rose try to ask him more about it but he pretends he doesn't hear...

[KendrixTermina]

@TheRedLittleGirl He was intended to be lying, it's even hinted at in the Confidential - Alex Kingston says something like "yeah, basically, how many babies have been in that cot [Besides the Doctor and River herself]"

Moffat hasn't forgotten about stuff, he made the Doctor ever-so-vaguely hint at his children in both the empty child two parter and "The beast below".

[RapunzelMind]

I think amy is thinking EW when he says it is his cot. I laughed when I was watching this and my whole family thought i was mental.

[popprincess33]

beautiful video, it made me cry...excellent choice of music, it fits so well, I'm going to go try to find it, but first, I need to watch something to cheer me up. :)

[loveylonnie]

@MegaHighlyflammable He had children way before that.

[MegaHighlyflammable]

@loveylonnie Its just an example of the many children he has.

[ArchHuman7]

He has a genetic tissue Duaghter, and a grandaughter. You'll see the granduaghter in the first first seasons of the first Doctor.

[roronoazoro11]

@ArchHuman7 He also had real children (and grandchildren) but they all died with the fall of Gallifrey.

[jesusmusiclover20]

@MegaHighlyflammable the doctor lies...and so does moffat!

[IWannaBeAnArtistToo]

Great Video :)

[WaterBottle1998]

his cot my arse.

[KendrixTermina]

@WaterBottle1998 Is IS his, the confidential confirms it - but it also made Alex hint that there were other babies inside there besides River and the Doctor himself....

[WaterBottle1998]

@KendrixTermina Yeah I meant

only his cot my arse.

[KendrixTermina]

@WaterBottle1998 There were probably quite a lot of Babies in there, probably including Susan and a sizeable amount of babies that he happened to meet on his travels and didn't have anywhere to sleep XD

[WaterBottle1998]

@KendrixTermina Susan? And hahaaa probably!

[Annabella56]

@KendrixTermina maybe the doctor and river's babies??

[Alysin123]

WHAHHA! my dad delete bbcamerica off my tellivision online websites anyone??

[werebunny131]

*sniff* That was lovely. :)

[MarioDood10]

It makes you a little teary. =') This video really makes you think... =) Uh, god... That's the magic of Doctor Who... It's emotional, fun, and just plain brilliant... And then people like you who take moments from Doctor Who and not turn them in to just a tribute... But a story, a fantasy... Wow... I have no idea why I'm talking like this. =')

[CanaryKeeper]

Aaaagh...you made me cry...XS

[BobstarIzWeirdDotCom]

that made me tear up abit, its soo sweet!

[CB774172]

Beautiful

[MenacerPhan]

I knew I recognized that music! So simple yet emotive, it really fits well with the video.

Great use of the clips, those are my fave moments in the episodes.

[diogenku]

As Amy asks if he's ever had children, his hand movements are so reminiscent of a father...it's so sad, because he knows his children are gone.

[Candycane35453]

I am sorry, replay button, for continuously poking you so i can watch this incredibly amazing video.

[SapphireShelle91]

This is absolutely beautiful. What is the name of this track? Because it is so beauitful, I've completely fallen in love with it and this video.

SO beautiful!

[WillieSlaterM]

awwhh that was beautiful :) aahhhh i hope that we see little river/11 (or you know any doctor really!!) babys in that cot! then i would be a very happy Whovian ;D

[GriffithAMPS]

poor Doctor...always lying so noone gets too close

[Pollypo66]

BRB... Crying forever.

It was a beautiful video, sad and sweet. Sad because... rule number one: the Doctor lie... which makes it a tragedy...

On a more critical note. The audio was a bit weird at the clips from the Beast Below... We couldn't hear the Doctor's voice... Otherwise, it was very nice. The music was well chose.

[kavtoM]

I wonder how many babies slept in that cot.

[WolfAngelDeath]

And we know he's a parent because he said so in *goes to rewatch for the moment* I'll find it just... hold on.

[Pollypo66]

@WolfAngelDeath in The Doctor's Daughter (Ten's era, 4 series). He told Donna he was a parent once. Also, his very first companion ever known was his Granddaughter, Susan...

[KendrixTermina]

@WolfAngelDeath His real kids probably died in the Time War :( ...and he had been out of touch with them for a while before the war (By his Seventh incarnation, he mentioned that he had no clue what happened to his family... i wonder if he *ever* got to see him again before blowing up Gallifrey...) At least Jenny is still around, even if he doesn't know it. And "The Death of the Doctor" recently confirmed that at least Ace (who was a sort of adopted daughter to him) is still alive...

[NoctisVeritas]

Poor doctor:'( Lovely vid.

[SupernaturalDR]

you see rory look relieved when he says it's my cot rather than my baby

[heysaturdaysun]

@SupernaturalDR that's damn good acting.

[xmcflyxxx]

Another amazing video!

[MsFuturestar001]

Beautifulxx

[Manacle180]

WOW that was really an awesome and dark and hauntingly beautiful video. <3

[xPrettyFlowers]

Oh, this is beautiful. It's sad and sweet and just aww. I love it :')

[birdtomahawk]

lovely video!

[TvMovieSparks88]

aww
