Doctor Who: Time and the Rani - The Sixth Doctor's Regeneration (the Colin Baker edit)

I thought I'd remake the opening sequence of Time and the Rani with some new effects. Not perfect, but I've made it slightly less pink.

Please bear in mind for the main effect that I was using a piece of twenty-three year old footage, from a poor-quality source, that has a didgital effect over the face, so motion tracking it was very difficult.

I hope you like it!

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?

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

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.

@OwenDWF It was the carrot juice that killed him!

i dont think that looks enough like colin...

[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.

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

[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.

@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.
