[DoctorWho50Years]

i dont think that looks enough like colin...

[Monkofmagnesia]

The BBC should buy this from you and use it in their "Time and the Rani" DVD

[RonMotta1972]

This is actually better than the revised regeneration the BBC put out on the "Time and the Rani" DVD!

[Worzel2828]

excellent video, it is a deep shame that Colin had been forced out

[animeguardianxx]

like most of it, don't like the new regen affect though, sorry

[cyberdalek100]

Fantastic

[sean14487]

 I would agree that it definately beats the original sequence. Very impressive!!

[MrAdamaz8529]

that was fucking good man

[The1990Doctor]

that's very good

[alifeofreason]

Way better than the original!

[SamusDrake]

That was really nice. Good work!

[hulahoopone]

As renditions of the 6th regeneration go, that one is fantastic

[davidcrazyrides]

they should of done that

[nightowl685]

there was a nice story in a doctor who novel, that had the 6th doctor battling the valeyard in his mind, and eventually sacrificed himself in order to destroy the valeyard, and he just had the misfortune of getting attacks by the rani right afterward. very nicely done simulation by the way:)

[dbn300100]

@Colinbakerfan555 anyway, seen yesterdays new doctor who?

[dbn300100]

@Colinbakerfan555 IN THE BLACK BOX ARE GOLF CLUBS.

[dbn300100]

@dbn300100 AND THE OTHER THING IS NOT AN EXERCISER

[dbn300100]

@Colinbakerfan555 uh, those were golf clubs...

[olliestoes]

My only complaint is that the titles cut out too quickly, just getting into them.

[buenaorgone19]

the BBC like messing people around.

[thearmyofmax]

Colin Bakers a Doosh

[matthewakian2]

@solidbronze. Your videos are brilliant sir!

[Matty09Magic]

love the face, little metalic looking but synced expertly

[anton1990]

This is incredible. They should add it to the dvd! 

[TimeVortex97]

@garethleslie123 Don't talk bullshit. Colin Baker was a great doctor and is one of the kindest men your ever meet so Don't go waving stupid and rather repulsive acuations !

[danbroad9]

I think he craked his skull open and had internal bleeding!

[traphoot]

Unfortunately, no state-of-the-art special effects can make Time and the Rani a decent serial. Lovely job though. Definitely looks a lot less ridiculous.

[rojblake82]

I think it was bloody disgusting, that Colin Baker was forced to leave Dr Who after trial of a time lord. I know Colin has said many billions of times he was content to play the Doctor, for seven years like Tom Baker had done, or even stay longer than Tom's seven years. I personally would have loved Colin to have continued in the role for as long or even longer than Tom, I think if Colin should have stayed for ten years or longer even.It was a bloody shame Colin was elbowed out of the role.

[olliestoes]

@rojblake82 So true, so many people don't give him a chance simply because he was the guy who was fired and "clearly isnt very good". He deserved so much better, every episode with him is a joy to watch.

[rojblake82]

@olliestoes Ithank you for you support in my statement and you have given me good feedback, that Colin Baker was a bloody super Doctor and he was not given the chance to play the role the way he wanted to play it. I was well hacked off when he was fired, and I have said ever since he should he been given the chance he deserved and he was absymally treated. I also think Colin has stickability which Peter, whom he succeeded does not, I would have cast Colin as Roj Blake in B7 if I had had my way.

[TsoLan1]

@rojblake82 Yeah I think its disgraceful that he was fired, But you forget that even if he wasn't he would only have ever done five years, as three years after he left doctor who was brought to an end (Well for a bit anyway ;~D)

I think it is wrong that he was fired but I am really glad Sylvester Mccoy got the role. Remember, if he didnt get sacked we would never have seen Sylvester Mccoys doctor. I still think it was wrong to fire Colin though.

[Rassilon72]

@rojblake82 I agree entirely. Colin was saddled with truly dreadful stories and a shameful lack of conviction from the production team. They were just churning out the same old stories, but lacking any sort of thought to them at all, plus he had that dreadful, terrible, hideous costume. The BBC were very kind in letting the production team have 18 months to re-invent itself. So what did they do? More of the same old rubbish. Poor Colin. I rather liked his Doctor.

[rojblake82]

@Rassilon72 I liked Colins role as Bayban in Blakes seven, in the episode city at the edge of the world but I secretly would have liked Colin to have been cast as Roj Blake in Blakes seven instead of Gareth thomas who did not stay around long enough in the role of Blake. If Colin had played, Blake he would have stayed in B7 longer and B7 might have run longer than four seasons. Do you think given your view if any, Colin Baker would have made an excellent Blake in Blakes seven instead of Gareth.

[alphamone]

@rojblake82

hell, he should have been permitted to play the doctor as he had wanted to. His Audio adventures have shown that he was more than capable.

[rojblake82]

@alphamone I am not saying Colin was no good as the Doctor, he should have had a better run and like you said been permitted to play the doctor in the way he wanted to paly the doctor. I liked Colins role as Bayban, in Blake's Seven in City at the Edge of the world he was ace in that role in billions of ways. I wish Colin had played Blake in Blake's Seven instead of Gareth Thomas who pushed off after two seasons which was a shame in billions of way. Wht do you think about Colin Baker as Blake.

[Monkofmagnesia]

You used a piece of twenty-three year old footage, from a poor-quality source, that has a didgital effect over the face, and still managed to do a better job than the BBC did. I love it and am glad you made it.

[PhoenixProductionz]

that was surprisingly good, good job :)

[MoonBurgle]

Soild, well done.

[doctorw2]

john nathan turner and some people at the BBC are to blame for doctor who taking a down turn in ratings in the mid eighties. if i could have been producer back then i would have had colin baker wear a white suit with a black velvet vest and matching tie. the inside of the tardis i would have redone in a gothic style and most importantly i would have tried to get private funding for better sfx effects and better script writers like peter j hammond and tanith lee.

[mintyspace]

Bravo...huge improvment

[BringTheAwesome1977]

This...was...significantly...b­adass. Nicely done.

[Dunes]

Nicely done editing job there,that's how it really should've been done at the very beginning of that episode.

[Bondfan1995]

Never really liked Colin Baker in my opnion. I actually rather liked him more as Maxil than the Sixth Doctor. Great Video though!

[Whoosh555]

that was awesome

[sdball01]

Excellent work. Loved the new effects and the editing in of 'In A Fix with the Sontarans.' The result is now a little bit more dignified ending for my favourite Doctor.

[FacePimpd]

Okay doke, lets send you back in time, sort that original mess out... you could always re-write the episode too while you're at it :)

[Jimmania07]

Very cool was hoping someone would give this a shot

[outofthegreenmist]

Very good.

[TheofficialTARDIStv]

very good, kina creepy but very well done!

[kidderguy]

Absolutly brilliant

[vanillaorchid]

Great regeneration.

[PluggyPoo]

There's a better version on the new DVD. But I like what you did with his hair boiling away.

[blofeld39]

Great work, Andrew! :-)

[desdinovaboc]

you could not save this incarnation unless laurence olivier was alive..

[tardiselliot]

that is absolutely fantastic, now do the rest of the episode :P

You turned what was a very flamboyant and shoddy regeneration into a supensful event with some great new regeneration effects

well done

[all13Doctors]

Pity the full opening is not there. Nice work, however.

[frankiewilliams]

Wow this is awesome

[Bargie57]

As ColonelBarker said, the skin tones don't quite match on the overlay. Looks a little like Colin's covered in pancaked makeup. Besides that, it's a fantastic job.

Where you've got the energy pop behind Colin's head, how about a bit of flame or debris to give it just that touch more presence?

[OwenDWF]

Ive always wondered, what really happened to the 6th Doctor during the crash? My theory is he either cracked his skull off the TARDIS Console or broke his neck while falling, or maybe because of the crash energy was released from the TARDIS, thus starting the regeneration.

Nice edit though. Perhaps you could have had a huge explosion in the console room and everything burning.

Whats the theme tune version you used?

[solidbronze]

@OwenDWF It's the Keff theme, pitch-shifted down 6 or 7 semi-tones, with a new explosion at hte start.

[Alexoneil]

@OwenDWF It was the carrot juice that killed him!

[wingweaver84]

@Alexoneil No,he was executed for his crimes against fashion!XD

[CoolCartoonsGuy]

@OwenDWF he was already dying when the rani caught she just finished the job

[BritishAlienCompany]

@OwenDWF There is a book called Spiral Scratch by Gary Russell which gives a nice account of the 6th Doctor's swansong :D x

[dbn300100]

@OwenDWF the 6th doctor drank some carrot juice

[64Fathoms]

@OwenDWF If you take the novels as part of the continuity then it's explained at the end of Spiral Scratch.

[TheGallianthe]

@OwenDWF Hey Owen, According to then Producer John Nathan-Turner, the Doctor (Colin Baker) slammed his head (with Me behind him) on the TARDIS console knocking them both to the deck of the control room. Mel got it easy as she hit the Doctor instead of the console (supposedly why they are on opposite sides of the TARDIS controls).

[pufferfishish]

@OwenDWF in all honesty, the BBC state that his falling from his exercise bike whilst the Tardis was ambushed in space triggered the regeneration. As far as I'm concerned the writing was on the wall for the series in its then-current state when this happened; how they could plummet from dramatic regeneration-inducing storylines like spectrox toxaemia and crystalline radiation to the Doctor having to regenerate simply because he was just giving-it-a-bit-too-much-Jane-­Fonda beggars belief.

[tangerinealarm]

Nice work.

The added sound effects and the lead in scene really help to set the mood.

Plus the removal of the Rani walking in and saying "Leave the girl, it's the man I want...." which wasn't exactly the best dialogue to begin a new story with a new Doctor.

[Johnny1989a]

Fantastic Effort, this is what we should have got instead, although preferably the Sixth Doctor would have continued on for much longer in the role, if I had my way :)

[cbatt91337]

Thats very impressive good music too

[colonelbarker]

Looks lovely. My only suggestion is 'Colin Baker's face on the regneration itself looks slightly darker or contrasty compared to the rest of the picture. But love the new music and sfx throughout.

[Pandoribolical]

You've outdone yourself on this one. Great job. Good to see some proper effects for what I always felt was a severely underrated story.

[sadako24]

Wow! You've just improved Time and the Rani- no easy feat

[Saternalius]

Exqvisite. Absolutely exqvisite.

xx

[Montyboy63]

another good job there, can't wait to see what you get up to next

[timelordavenger]

This is really brilliant work and very cleverly done, and I'm glad you made the effects look retro because it suits it more.bWell done!!!!!!!!!!!

[DerektheDalek]

Nice work - I always felt Colin got the bad end of the stick when it came to the BBC and a certain then Director-General's opinion of the show. It would have been nice to have Colin get the send off he deserved (and Spiral Scratch made a fairly good job of it) and this does go some of the way too. Well done! :)

[solidbronze]

@DerektheDalek Do you mean Milne or Checkland?

[DerektheDalek]

@solidbronze I meant Micheal Grade - just realised he was actually BBC Controller then and Director General today, but he was the fellow who disliked Doctor Who at the time, wasn't he?
