0:00:35 > 0:00:37I think I have everything!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42We're still going, yeah? We're still going to have our proper holiday?

0:00:47 > 0:00:50OK, you're worrying me now. Stop worrying me.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56- Doctor?- Who am I? Where am I? And who are you?

0:00:58 > 0:01:01You've actually done it, haven't you?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Last thing you said to me before I went out, "I've got to

0:01:03 > 0:01:06"remember to repair the interface or I'll completely wipe my memory."

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I don't remember saying that! I don't remember saying anything!

0:01:09 > 0:01:13In fact, here's a theory - don't laugh. Promise me you won't laugh.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16(I think, whoever I am, I've lost my memory.)

0:01:18 > 0:01:20All 1,200 years?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23That sounds like a lot. Is that a lot? That sounds like a lot.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- First things first, what's my name? - I don't know, nobody knows.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Well, that's a good start!- You call yourself the Doctor.- Oh, I like it.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Doctor Who. Ha! Yes! Nobody knows! That's the thing!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Wait a second.- OK. Be cool...

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- You showed me this once. - Right.- It might help.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50All your life, everything you've ever done, all written in here.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56The Doctor, is he a good person? Who are his friends? Who are his enemies?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Open it, find out.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Oh... OK...

0:02:01 > 0:02:03So, Doctor...who are you?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Doctor Who, the British science fiction phenomenon,

0:02:11 > 0:02:14is about to celebrate 50 years on our screens.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16After nearly 800 episodes,

0:02:16 > 0:02:2011 incarnations and thousands of adventures,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23it's the longest-running sci-fi show of all time.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24Guess who! Ha!

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Tonight, we're going to take you on a journey across the Whoniverse...

0:02:28 > 0:02:30You want moves, I'll give you moves.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33..charting the history of the time-travelling Doctor

0:02:33 > 0:02:34and his many faces.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- I have to face my fear. - From companions...

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Don't steal that one, steal this one.- ..to chameleon circuits.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Bad girl!

0:02:42 > 0:02:47- From the Master to the monsters... - You are the destroyer of the world!

0:02:47 > 0:02:51..we'll be covering it all, in Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Come with me.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03So...

0:03:03 > 0:03:08all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Where do you want to start?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12How about we start at the very beginning?

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Doctor Who has been going for 50 years. What makes it so special?

0:03:16 > 0:03:19The special thing about Doctor Who is almost indefinable.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21It's just a great idea.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23This is the story of a man with a box that's bigger

0:03:23 > 0:03:27on the inside than the out, that can go anywhere in time and space.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'm definitely a madman with a box.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31It's called the TARDIS, this thing.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32It's simply about his adventures.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38But adventures in time.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40It's a series where anything is possible.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Very hard to describe, because it sounds mental.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46That's not fair.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- The fears are primal.- Doctor!

0:03:50 > 0:03:53But the victories are...total.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Redemption is possible.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Take it! Take it all, baby!

0:04:04 > 0:04:08It's got a special place in the heart of Britain, I think.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11It's a cultural phenomenon. It's a tradition.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13And it is going to be...

0:04:14 > 0:04:16..fantastic.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20I grew up with Doctor Who being kind of passed down...

0:04:20 > 0:04:23From generations and generations.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Is it always this dangerous?- Yeah.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28And I think that everyone kind of connects to that aspect

0:04:28 > 0:04:33of the show where you get invited to go on all these adventures.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Come with me.- Where?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37Wherever you like.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41To the eyes of a four-year-old child, it was magical.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46There is a wish fulfilment.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51You could fall through those magic doors into that adventure.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Who are you? Where am I?

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I used to sit in the bath fantasising I'd be Doctor Who,

0:04:57 > 0:05:01and then a girl from my school would be my companion.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03You're utterly mad!

0:05:03 > 0:05:05There's gadgets...

0:05:05 > 0:05:07..there's baddies...

0:05:07 > 0:05:11assistants...and there's, like, a dog that's electric.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12I'm into that.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15K-9!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18There's a lot more sci-fi geeks in the world than people think.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Good.- I can't imagine UK television without Doctor Who.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I mean, it would just be weird. It would be like a big void.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27We still want to be scared, we still want to be inspired,

0:05:27 > 0:05:29but in the same way that we were as kids.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34When you talk of the Earth...then make sure that you tell them this.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38It...is...defended!

0:05:38 > 0:05:39We want a hero.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42That's what we want.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yes, and we've already witnessed the reign of 11 of these

0:05:45 > 0:05:47time-travelling heroes.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Let's give ourselves a quick reminder of who they are.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Hartnell, Troughton,

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Pertwee, Baker,

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Davison, Baker,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00McCoy, McGann.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Eccleston, Tennant,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Smith.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06Nailed it!

0:06:07 > 0:06:11So, that's our first 11, but what is the Doctor actually like, then?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- They call me the Doctor. - Doctor what?- There is no name.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Doctor...John Smith, isn't it?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20He looks quite like me.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm the Doctor! I'm a Time Lord.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Yes, about 450 years old.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26I'd say he's 900 years old.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- You're 900 years old? - I've no idea what age he is now.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30I'm 1,200 years old now.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Wow, he ages quickly.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35My mum was right, that is one hell of an age gap.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37The Doctor is from the planet Gallifrey.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Are you from another planet?- Yeah.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41He's a Time Lord.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- He was president of the Time Lords at one point.- He's a time-traveller.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46He stole the TARDIS.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49He looks human, but he has two hearts.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- I say, I don't think that can be right.- The more hearts, the better.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54He can give twice the loving. Know what I mean?

0:06:54 > 0:07:00- No.- He's an explorer. He is a man in love with the universe.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- MECHANICAL:- The Doctor will destroy the universe.- No, no.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05No, you've got it wrong.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Stubborn.- Courageous. - You need to leave this planet.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Creative.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Yes, OK, OK. OK.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- He's a scientist. - Of course! You fool!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's antimatter!

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- He's a vegetarian. - The steak looks nice.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22- He's not a vegetarian. - Steak and chips.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24He's a lapsed vegetarian.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Fascinating.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28In the nicest possible way, he's a weirdo.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit weird?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32They never really stop.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33And I like weirdos.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35The Doctor isn't a self-conscious hero.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38He doesn't go around looking for problems to solve,

0:07:38 > 0:07:41but he is massively compassionate and massively empathetic

0:07:41 > 0:07:44and has a tremendous sense of justice and goodness.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49But how much do we really know about the Doctor?

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Are there darker sides to the Time Lord than we ever thought?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Get out of my head!

0:07:55 > 0:07:58He knows what evil is. He wouldn't be the hero he is if he didn't.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00I think the audience always knows the Doctor is a hero

0:08:00 > 0:08:04but they also know that there are consequences sometimes

0:08:04 > 0:08:08to someone taking such a big role in the universe.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10That there can be downsides.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Really tragic events happen.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Look after our baby.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Why doesn't he stop her?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21He may not be the hero that we believe he is.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23We learn more about the character

0:08:23 > 0:08:25and maybe learn more about the dark side.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27It was kind of the natural progression

0:08:27 > 0:08:30or a natural thing to bring that sort of dark complexity.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Sometimes we allude to,

0:08:32 > 0:08:37or there is a suggestion of some upset in his past.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Because he rarely, if ever, talks about it.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42I'm not sure exactly where he's come from.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44And with the climax of the latest series of Doctor Who

0:08:44 > 0:08:48we find our beloved Time Lord in uncharted territory.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Trenzalore is where I'm buried.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Welcome

0:08:53 > 0:08:55..to the tomb of the Doctor.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Having landed on Trenzalore,

0:08:58 > 0:09:01the Doctor comes face-to-face with a mysterious figure.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Who's that?- It's me.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06He's the one who broke the promise.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10What I did, I did without choice.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17And it seems as the reign of the 11th Doctor approaches its end,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20his world is becoming increasingly complicated.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27What that man is and why the Doctor chose to reject him

0:09:27 > 0:09:31and to delete him from his own past is going to be the story told

0:09:31 > 0:09:35in the 50th anniversary special, The Day Of The Doctor.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37But for now, on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,

0:09:37 > 0:09:39we're going to take a look at the genesis

0:09:39 > 0:09:43of this unconventional hero of sci-fi and his many faces.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46# Nothing stays the same. #

0:09:46 > 0:09:49But before we start travelling across time and space,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51we're going to need a vehicle of some sort.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Anyone got any ideas?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's blue.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58THEY MIMIC "METALLIC THRUMMING"

0:09:58 > 0:09:59It's got "Police" written on it.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01SHE MIMICS "METALLIC THRUMMING"

0:10:01 > 0:10:02It's a wooden box.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04HE MIMICS "METALLIC THRUMMING"

0:10:04 > 0:10:06With a genius inside it.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07HE MIMICS "METALLIC THRUMMING"

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I think it's just, like, immense. - It's a metaphor for the human soul.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14HARSH BREATHING

0:10:14 > 0:10:18It's probably the most iconic spacecraft ever created.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21You know, it feels like it's alive.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24That's right, we're going to begin our journey

0:10:24 > 0:10:28across the Whoniverse with a look at the love of the Doctor's life.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30The TARDIS.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I should like to see this TARDIS.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- The what?!- The TARDIS.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37That's not even a proper word!

0:10:37 > 0:10:40But what does TARDIS actually mean?

0:10:40 > 0:10:41T-A-R-D-I-S.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Time.- And.- Relative.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Dimension.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Time And Relative Dimension In Space.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53The TARDIS was developed in the Doctor's home world of Gallifrey,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56in order to allow Time Lords to travel through space and time.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58The Doctor, being the impatient maverick he is,

0:10:58 > 0:11:00decided he had to steal one for himself.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01- Doctor?- Yes, what is it?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03With a little help from Clara.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Don't steal that one, steal this one.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09The navigation system's knackered, but you'll have much more fun.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10During its travels, the Doctor's TARDIS

0:11:10 > 0:11:13became known for its iconic exterior.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17- What's a police public call box? - It's a telephone box, from the 1950s.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19It's a disguise.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yes, it's got a complex system called a chameleon circuit,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26which allows the TARDIS to blend in seamlessly with its surroundings.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29But unfortunately, it doesn't actually work.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30How do we get in?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33The mechanism for its disguise is just knackered.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's like watching a man with his car.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39It's his pride and joy and it's wonderful to watch.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Although the Doctor is constantly trying to fix it, it seems

0:11:41 > 0:11:44that we're stuck with the good old blue police box

0:11:44 > 0:11:47but, for newcomers to the TARDIS, there's one feature

0:11:47 > 0:11:49that never ceases to amaze and confuse.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Bigger on the inside. - It's bigger on the inside.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54The TARDIS is a sort of Narnia wardrobe.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- The inside is bigger than the outside?- Yes.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00It is bigger on the inside than on the out. That's amazing.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01That's poetry.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04It is very small outside, it's just in here it's big.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Oh, come off it!

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Goodbye.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Thinking about how it works could drive you bonkers.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11It's a lot to take in, isn't it?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Tiny box, huge room inside. Let me explain.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- It's another dimension? - Is basically another dimension. What?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19But impossible as it sounds,

0:12:19 > 0:12:21the mystery was actually explained years ago by fourth Doctor

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Tom Baker.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Which box is larger?- That one.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28There's a scene where the Doctor tries to explain to Leela

0:12:28 > 0:12:30how the TARDIS works, and he says,

0:12:30 > 0:12:33"Basically, part of it is further away,

0:12:33 > 0:12:35"which means it's in the distance."

0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Now which is larger?- That one! - But it looks smaller.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- That's because it's further away. - Exactly.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44It's to do with perspective.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48If you could keep that exactly that distance away and have it here,

0:12:48 > 0:12:50the large one would fit inside the small one.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52That's basically it, they've found a way

0:12:52 > 0:12:53of compressing the perspective.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Which- I- always found convincing! - That's silly.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58But I was about eight, so leave me alone.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00It doesn't make any sense.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's transdimensional engineering.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Recently, the Doctor's relationship with the TARDIS

0:13:06 > 0:13:09has developed into something a little more intimate.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I've just had a new idea about kissing. Come here!

0:13:12 > 0:13:16The TARDIS is this kind of quite eccentric, flaky woman.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I just really love that idea.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23In the episode The Doctor's Wife, the Doctor comes face-to-face

0:13:23 > 0:13:25with Idris, a human embodiment of the TARDIS.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's me!

0:13:28 > 0:13:33- I'm the TARDIS.- No, you're not! You're a bitey mad lady.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36The TARDIS is up and downy stuff in a big blue box.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Yes, that's me.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40I really liked it because you kind of got to see the Doctor's

0:13:40 > 0:13:45- relationship with the TARDIS in more of a romantic way.- In human terms.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Yeah, more human and, like, because Matt Smith is quite flirty.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51The first time you touched my console...

0:13:51 > 0:13:55I said you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever known.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56And then you stole me.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58And I stole you.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01From then on, it's already in your mind that he has this

0:14:01 > 0:14:04kind of affection for the TARDIS.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's not just his vehicle,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08but it's a companion and a partner for him.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Sorry, do you have a name? - 700 years, finally, he asks!

0:14:11 > 0:14:15What do I call you? I think you call me...sexy.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Only when we're alone.- We are alone.

0:14:20 > 0:14:21Right...

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Come on, sexy.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28The TARDIS - Doctor Who, that's the first thing people think.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Doctor Who would be walking along a street and the blue box

0:14:32 > 0:14:33would be there and he'd beckon

0:14:33 > 0:14:36and you'd go running off to space and time.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38It is sheer magic.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39WOMAN SCREAMS

0:14:39 > 0:14:41CRASH

0:14:41 > 0:14:44I think the TARDIS is not just a vehicle,

0:14:44 > 0:14:45it's another character.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50It's the spaceship! Everybody loves the spaceship in anything sci-fi.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53And the TARDIS is so cool because it feels like a character of its own.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00OK, so that's the TARDIS.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04Now it's time to have a look at the first lucky man to land it on Earth.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12We are at...

0:15:12 > 0:15:14the very beginning!

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Meet the first Doctor, William Hartnell.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24In 1963 he landed on our screens and changed British television for ever.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30But why do you have to destroy?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Hm... Well, we are in a pickle, aren't we?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36- OLD MAN'S VOICE: - Don't mess with me, young man!

0:15:36 > 0:15:40A new birth...of a sun...

0:15:40 > 0:15:42and its planets!

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I watched the very first episode of Doctor Who.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49I'd come in that Saturday from somewhere.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52I leaned on the door when I came in because it was just starting,

0:15:52 > 0:15:55and I was still leaning there 25 minutes later when it finished.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57It was new, it was different,

0:15:57 > 0:15:59it appealed to the young men that we were.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02The character at that stage, we didn't know where he'd come from,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04we didn't know what his back story was.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06So there's a lot of mystery about him.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Your arrogance is nearly as great as your ignorance.- Open the door!

0:16:10 > 0:16:12We are the masters of the Earth!

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Not for long.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18The show was unlike anything seen on our screens before

0:16:18 > 0:16:21and the character of the Doctor immediately became a TV icon.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yes, indeed.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25'The look of him, the sound of him,'

0:16:25 > 0:16:30the aura, was naturally authoritative.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33The Doctor started out as a kind of cool, trendy grandfather

0:16:33 > 0:16:35that was really clever and could

0:16:35 > 0:16:37teach you a thing or two about science.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41I should say originally it was some pliable metal

0:16:41 > 0:16:43held together by a magnetic field.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47So the curiosity was enormous. Hm!

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Well, yes, quite fascinating. Hm...

0:16:50 > 0:16:53In the modern era, we are used to seeing the Doctor

0:16:53 > 0:16:55being very off-the-cuff...

0:16:55 > 0:16:56Bada-boom!

0:16:56 > 0:16:57..spontaneous...

0:16:57 > 0:16:59You only live once.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01..you know, thinking on his feet.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Run!

0:17:04 > 0:17:07With Hartnell, everything he seemed to do and everything that went

0:17:07 > 0:17:10right for him seemed to be because of his experience.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13That city down there is a magnificent subject for study

0:17:13 > 0:17:15and I don't intend to leave here

0:17:15 > 0:17:17until I've thoroughly investigated it.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20And as we got to know this elderly alien with his unconventional

0:17:20 > 0:17:23time machine, it became clear that the Doctor

0:17:23 > 0:17:25was far from your typical small-screen hero.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27He was kind of grumpy, he was mysterious.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Oh, child, if only you'd think as an adult sometimes.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31He also seemed...

0:17:31 > 0:17:33difficult.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Geniuses can be a bit rude and a bit blunt.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39William Hartnell definitely had a bit of that in him.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Please stop bothering me.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Yes, the first Doctor was rude... - Mind your own business.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- ..patronising...- I can see by your face that you don't understand.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I knew you wouldn't. Never mind.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53..and despite looking like a pensioner,

0:17:53 > 0:17:55he could certainly handle himself.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- OLD MAN'S VOICE:- Oh, you want to fight, do you? Come on, then!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01I'll just unravel my cravat.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yes, the first Doc was no day at the beach.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Don't call me Doc. Now, do I make myself clear?

0:18:10 > 0:18:14But over time, he began to mellow and went on to time-travel

0:18:14 > 0:18:18with a host of new friends, or companions, over the years.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Are you going to come with us? - If you'll have me.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22HE CHUCKLES

0:18:22 > 0:18:24He began to develop a softer side,

0:18:24 > 0:18:27and when granddaughter Susan grew up and fell in love...

0:18:27 > 0:18:31Oh, David, I do love you! I do! I do!

0:18:31 > 0:18:35..he sent her off with a memorable and emotional farewell speech.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39There must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Just go forward in all your beliefs

0:18:42 > 0:18:46and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50And soon the first Doctor was saying his own goodbyes,

0:18:50 > 0:18:52leaving as a changed character.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57He enters almost as the villain, and leaves as the eccentric,

0:18:57 > 0:18:58compassionate hero.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03You know, became this hugely popular figure in popular culture,

0:19:03 > 0:19:06and if he has a legacy, it's that the show is still running today

0:19:06 > 0:19:08and that's got to be down to him.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11By the end of his spell in the TARDIS, the Doctor had laid

0:19:11 > 0:19:15the foundations for the next 50 years of time-travelling adventures.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17And far from being the end,

0:19:17 > 0:19:20the demise of the first Doctor was only the beginning.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23WILLIAM HARTNELL IN DALEK VOICE: I fooled them all! I am the master!

0:19:23 > 0:19:25HE CHUCKLES

0:19:29 > 0:19:34Whether the regeneration from the off, in 1963, was part of the plan...

0:19:36 > 0:19:40I've love to think it was in some... because it's a masterstroke.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48Yes, over 50 glorious years, the Doctor's light has never faded,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51thanks to the ingenious concept of regeneration.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's far from being all over.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56It means I'm going to change.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58The Doctor doesn't die.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's the body that dies and he then switches his body

0:20:01 > 0:20:03and he turns into somebody totally new.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04It's the end!

0:20:04 > 0:20:09Regeneration is, to me, the most genius plot device ever.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Don't die!

0:20:11 > 0:20:15The thing that has made Doctor Who endure is the fact that

0:20:15 > 0:20:17the Doctor regenerates.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's time to say goodbye.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22- Doctor!- Stay away!

0:20:22 > 0:20:24I don't want to go.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's a very neat trick, I suppose,

0:20:27 > 0:20:29and it's proved to be unbelievable successful.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31I'm sorry.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37If you can have a different person playing the same character,

0:20:37 > 0:20:39it's just going to go on and on.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43Regeneration is what has enabled us to have this conversation.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's enabled the 50th anniversary to happen.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's absolutely brilliant,

0:20:56 > 0:21:00and the constant in Doctor Who is change, and that's the clever part.

0:21:07 > 0:21:12Every new regeneration is a new aspect of his personality.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Am I...ginger?

0:21:16 > 0:21:18No, you're just sort of brown.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20I want to be ginger! I've never been ginger.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24You're always curious to find out what is new about him.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27What is new about this regeneration? What is new about this character?

0:21:27 > 0:21:29What side of the Doctor are we going to see now?

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Older regenerations could involve anything

0:21:32 > 0:21:37from a Bohemian Rhapsody-style video effect to a cosmic facemask.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Nowadays, regeneration is a more hi-tech affair.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44All of the modern regenerations have been incredibly memorable.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48And they've sort of settled down now to this thing where

0:21:48 > 0:21:51the orange energy comes out of them and all that stuff.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Eccleston, when he changes to David, was like... - MAKES WHOOSHING SOUND

0:21:59 > 0:22:03All this stuff comes out and there's light and things going on.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05That was, like, whoa!

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Hello. I... HE GULPS

0:22:10 > 0:22:11New teeth, that's weird.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15I've still got legs! Good!

0:22:15 > 0:22:18He's got all of these different guises and, with each successive

0:22:18 > 0:22:23Doctor, they bring something new to the role that keeps you interested.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25They are one and the same.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26They may look different,

0:22:26 > 0:22:30but they are really just incarnations of the same thing.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- That's important. - And that's just how it should be.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35That is the perpetual Doctor Who cycle.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39No-one is bigger than the character, because Doctor Who is Doctor Who.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41HE LAUGHS

0:22:43 > 0:22:45So, after the first Doctor's demise,

0:22:45 > 0:22:48the second arrived with a whole new take on the Time Lord.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57Patrick Troughton had the hard job.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Patrick Troughton was the actor

0:22:59 > 0:23:01who established that the Doctor can change.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05It wasn't somebody pretending to do what William Hartnell did,

0:23:05 > 0:23:07he completely reinvented the character.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10And he took hold of that part,

0:23:10 > 0:23:15flipped it on its side, wiggled its legs in the air and he became

0:23:15 > 0:23:20this wonderful, loving cosmic hobo, who was disarming and charming.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23EXPLOSIONS AND SHOUTING

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I loved Patrick Troughton's Doctor.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Just so subtle and clever and quick-changing.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Interesting.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Funny and so characterful.

0:23:36 > 0:23:41Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yes, we are in trouble, aren't we?

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Why? What's all this about?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I don't know, but we've got to be careful.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49We've got to be very, very careful.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54Patrick was a proper character actor.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57How can I be a traitor when I don't even know where I am?

0:23:57 > 0:23:58Where am I?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01He was a bit clown-like.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02SHE SCREAMS

0:24:02 > 0:24:05I'm sure we can talk this over.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08He invents how the Doctor is going to be from then on,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11so he's not just the hero, he's the comedy hero.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Sausages!

0:24:12 > 0:24:16Patrick Troughton's Doctor is sort of more recognisable

0:24:16 > 0:24:19to modern audiences, I think. He's more the centre of the action.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22If not for Patrick Troughton, there wouldn't be a Matt Smith today.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Oh, you've redecorated!

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I don't like it.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28You've had this place redecorated, haven't you? Don't like it.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31But Troughton wasn't just a clown, he was musical.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33TOOTING

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Sort of. And he was the first to use...- This is a sonic screwdriver.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Now, where can I demonstrate it?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42His three-year reign came to an abrupt end

0:24:42 > 0:24:44when he was captured by his fellow Time Lords.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47And it was only then that we found out more about who this mysterious

0:24:47 > 0:24:49time-traveller actually was.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51You have repeatedly broken our most important law

0:24:51 > 0:24:55of non-interference in the affairs of other planets.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59What have you to say? Do you admit these actions?

0:24:59 > 0:25:02I not only admit them, I am proud of them.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05We start to learn more about the fact that the Doctor

0:25:05 > 0:25:09is a Time Lord, and we learn more about their code.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13All these evils I have fought while you have done nothing but observe.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16You can observe the affairs of the universe,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18but you can't intervene, you can't join in.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20But the Doctor naturally feels that you should,

0:25:20 > 0:25:22and we learn a lot more about his moral code.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26True, I AM guilty of interference, just as you are guilty of failing

0:25:26 > 0:25:30to use your great powers to help those in need!

0:25:30 > 0:25:33By way of punishment, his TARDIS was grounded.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36And we also saw the beginnings of the Doctor's love affair

0:25:36 > 0:25:37with our fair planet.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40We have noted your particular interest in the planet Earth.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Earth seems more vulnerable than others, yes.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47For that reason, you will be sent back to that planet, in exile.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50No! No!

0:25:50 > 0:25:52And so ended the story of the second Doctor.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57He's the one who sort of nails exactly how it's going to be,

0:25:57 > 0:26:00so his legacy to the part is huge.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03If he hadn't been so brilliant,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06the show could have just gone by the wayside.

0:26:06 > 0:26:07The audience stuck

0:26:07 > 0:26:12and that very act of re-creation has allowed the series to live on.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16Our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20There's nobody in the universe can do what we're doing.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25He is the actor to whom all the subsequent Doctors

0:26:25 > 0:26:28look for inspiration. In particular Matt Smith.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32And so the nation's love affair with the eccentric Time Lord grew.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36But where there's a good guy, there's got to be a baddie.

0:26:36 > 0:26:42They are my oldest and deadliest enemy. You cannot trust them.

0:26:42 > 0:26:43I wonder who that could be.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Exterminate!

0:26:45 > 0:26:47You will obey!

0:26:47 > 0:26:52No power in this universe can stop the Daleks!

0:26:52 > 0:26:55There's still that fearful excitement.

0:26:55 > 0:27:01Completely resourceful, a ruthless enemy, that looked ridiculous.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04The Daleks are the ultimate enemy of the Doctor.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Kill him!- He is an enemy of the Daleks! Exterminate!

0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's a robot with anger problems. It's a tank that rants at you.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20They are both vocally and physically simply quite unique.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23So, apart from their hatred of the Doctor,

0:27:23 > 0:27:25what are the elements that make up a Dalek?

0:27:27 > 0:27:29They're evil...

0:27:29 > 0:27:32The Earth will die screaming!

0:27:32 > 0:27:34..they have no mercy...

0:27:34 > 0:27:37If you have any compassion in your hearts...

0:27:37 > 0:27:39HE SCREAMS

0:27:39 > 0:27:41..and they have slimy little things in them.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44The true Dalek form.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46They'll turn on their own...

0:27:46 > 0:27:48What it is to want to mess up.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53..and they can even make a mean cuppa.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Would you care for some tea?

0:27:55 > 0:27:57That would be very nice, thank you.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59No matter how hard he tries,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02the Doctor just can't seem to get rid of the Daleks.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04It doesn't matter how you get rid of the Dalek,

0:28:04 > 0:28:07whether it's in a vortex or whether it's in a black hole,

0:28:07 > 0:28:08or whether you disintegrate them...

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Impossible.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Exterminate!

0:28:13 > 0:28:16..they always come back. There's always a new generation.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18If I were the Doctor now, I'd be wondering what the point is.

0:28:18 > 0:28:23He got rid of the Daleks and they've reappeared. It's like he can't win.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25They keep evolving and the more series that go on,

0:28:25 > 0:28:29you keep seeing a new version and an upgrade.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32But the biggest war the Daleks have fought has been their battle

0:28:32 > 0:28:34with...the staircase.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35The stairs!

0:28:35 > 0:28:39Time was when Daleks didn't go upstairs.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41And people always used to joke,

0:28:41 > 0:28:44"How are the Daleks ever going to conquer the universe?

0:28:44 > 0:28:46"They can't even get up the stairs."

0:28:46 > 0:28:51Well, Remembrance Of The Daleks sought to put that right.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53# I believe I can fly

0:28:54 > 0:28:57# I believe I can touch the sky. #

0:28:57 > 0:28:59That was a very important moment.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02It was great fun and I'm so pleased to have been part of it.

0:29:02 > 0:29:07Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Exterminate!

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Of course they've got to hover. They've conquered time and space!

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Elevate!

0:29:15 > 0:29:18Like all enduring enemies of the Doctor,

0:29:18 > 0:29:20the Daleks have had to move with the times.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Even Daleks have regenerated themselves

0:29:23 > 0:29:25and given themselves a bit of a makeover.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27A bit of an upgrade.

0:29:27 > 0:29:28Maximum efficiency!

0:29:29 > 0:29:32And in recent years, they've even developed emotions.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36I am in pain.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Rose, no! SIZZLING

0:29:40 > 0:29:44Just for those fleeting moments, a vulnerable Dalek.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48We almost have sympathy for it.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50An emotional Dalek.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51I hate it.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54Getting in touch with your feelings, whether you're

0:29:54 > 0:29:58a Dalek or a grown man, it's good these days to moisturise and cry.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02But despite developing their emotional capabilities,

0:30:02 > 0:30:05the Daleks remain the number one enemy of the Doctor.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick,

0:30:10 > 0:30:12but hello again.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16Corny as it is, corny as it sounds, you can't beat the Daleks.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20They're the other villain in the Time War.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23It's like Superman and Lex Luthor.

0:30:23 > 0:30:29We have grown stronger in fear of you.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32I know.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36They are the Doctor's longest enemy, so they have to be around.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Now, if there was one man who knew how to take out a Dalek in style,

0:30:45 > 0:30:50it's Doctor number three, all-round man of action, Jon Pertwee.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53Probably the most flamboyant Doctor of the lot,

0:30:53 > 0:30:55number three became known as a bit of a dandy.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Do you mean me?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Enormously flamboyant. - It's an excellent vintage.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02It's really a completely different phase.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04There was a bit of espionage about him.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Nobody sends me anywhere, I'm a free agent.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Very...majestic and powerful.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11I am a Time Lord.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15When Pertwee takes over the Doctor, he establishes the eccentric,

0:31:15 > 0:31:16amusing scientist.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18What Jon Pertwee brings to it, for the first time,

0:31:18 > 0:31:20is the action hero.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23With his frilly shirts, bravado and showmanship,

0:31:23 > 0:31:27this bombastic Time Lord was Liberace meets Bruce Lee.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Yes, being a master of Venusian aikido,

0:31:29 > 0:31:32the third Doctor was not a man to mess with.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35He basically said, "Aaiieee!"

0:31:35 > 0:31:36And took everybody out.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Aaaiieee!

0:31:38 > 0:31:42He's a very square-jawed, straight-down-the-line, heroic type.

0:31:42 > 0:31:47He's like your grandad, but he can do karate. That's cool.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Ha!

0:31:49 > 0:31:52A 4th Dan black belt grandpa.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55This was a straight-talking, no-nonsense Time Lord,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58who didn't suffer fools gladly, even when they were on his side.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01- I'm your new assistant.- Oh, no.

0:32:01 > 0:32:02Ham-fisted bun vendor!

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Hamfisted bun vendor.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07Bun vendor?

0:32:07 > 0:32:09He may have had a harsh manner,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11but this Doctor certainly had a keen eye for detail.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Good grief! It's a stegosaurus!

0:32:16 > 0:32:19When the threats appeared, Jon Pertwee's Doctor knew exactly

0:32:19 > 0:32:22what to do and he did this great look, like that.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26His reactions when the monsters appeared were superb.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Doctor!

0:32:34 > 0:32:35Sonic screwdriver, like that.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38BEEPING

0:32:38 > 0:32:40WARBLING SCREAM

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Imprisoned on Earth

0:32:42 > 0:32:46and with his TARDIS grounded by his fellow Time Lords,

0:32:46 > 0:32:49the Doctor's adventures were now very much based in the modern world.

0:32:49 > 0:32:50That's interesting.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53He even had a proper job, working for UNIT,

0:32:53 > 0:32:55where his new companions included Liz Shaw...

0:32:55 > 0:32:57That's impossible.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00..Jo Grant, Sarah Jane Smith...

0:33:00 > 0:33:02We need somebody to make the coffee.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04..and favourite sparring partner, the Brigadier...

0:33:04 > 0:33:07- The Brigadier is an idiot.- ..with whom he rarely saw eye to eye.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- I wouldn't like to have to order you.- I wouldn't advise you to try.

0:33:10 > 0:33:15It's this great voice, with this fiery energy behind it.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17If you cannot reverse the energy drain,

0:33:17 > 0:33:20the fabric of the entire universe could be torn apart.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Though he never managed to fix this knackered TARDIS,

0:33:24 > 0:33:28the Doctor more than made up for it with his fleet of vehicles.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32The third Doctor was every inch the action man.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35He was a real adventurer in real life.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40And so any time there was a motorbike or anything,

0:33:40 > 0:33:43we were there, we were playing. It was fun.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45A bit more of a James Bond than we'd seen before.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Yes, from motorbikes to Jet Skis.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50I remember he had a hover car.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52He had it all,

0:33:52 > 0:33:56including his trademark bright yellow Edwardian roadster, Bessie.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59Soon, even Bessie was left in the garage

0:33:59 > 0:34:03and he upgraded to his own specially created pimp wagon, the Whomobile.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06This new car of mine is exactly what I need.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Pertwee spent five years as the Doctor,

0:34:08 > 0:34:10featuring in over 100 episodes.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14But the all-action third Doctor eventually succumbed

0:34:14 > 0:34:17to his inevitable demise at the hands of a huge

0:34:17 > 0:34:19and not entirely convincing spider.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22HIDEOUS SCREECHING

0:34:22 > 0:34:23Doctor!

0:34:23 > 0:34:26The Planet Of The Spiders. It was very sad.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28I didn't want him to go.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Please...don't die.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34A tear, Sarah Jane?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36A tear...

0:34:36 > 0:34:37Sarah Jane?

0:34:37 > 0:34:40Don't cry, don't cry.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42And then...

0:34:42 > 0:34:44this regeneration happened.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Well...here we go again.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53And so third generated to fourth

0:34:53 > 0:34:56and the role of the Doctor was never the same again.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00Once Jon Pertwee lays down those tracks, the other Doctors run on it.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03They're always a little bit action-y after that.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07- ..Need a car.- Don't worry, I commandeered a vehicle.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09SIREN WAILS

0:35:09 > 0:35:13Have this wonderful comfort, that no matter how dreadful

0:35:13 > 0:35:17the aliens were, Jon Pertwee's Doctor would protect you

0:35:17 > 0:35:21and you were OK, and you just sort of travelled in his wake.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23He didn't pretend to be anything

0:35:23 > 0:35:25other than the cleverest man in the room.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31So far, on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,

0:35:31 > 0:35:35we've taken in a tour of the transdimensional TARDIS...

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- Tiny box, huge room inside. - ..met the first three Doctors...

0:35:39 > 0:35:40I am a Time Lord.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41I don't like it.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43I knew you wouldn't. Never mind.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45..and seen the rigours of regeneration.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47He's having a change.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49Still to come, there's eight more Doctors...

0:35:49 > 0:35:53- You only live once. - ..sexy companions old and new...

0:35:53 > 0:35:54I'm a kissagram!

0:35:54 > 0:35:56..and more dastardly villains

0:35:56 > 0:35:59than you can shake a perigosto stick at.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01ROARING

0:36:01 > 0:36:04Travelling through time and different universes

0:36:04 > 0:36:06can make the TARDIS a lonely place for the Doctor.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09His race has been wiped out, he's out there on his own.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13I think that's why he likes companions. He likes some company.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15# I belong to you, you belong to me

0:36:15 > 0:36:17# My sweetheart. #

0:36:17 > 0:36:19The story is the companions' story.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21As each new person steps on the TARDIS

0:36:21 > 0:36:23they begin the most important journey in their lives.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26It's a travelling companion, a sounding board.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Just as people have their favourite Doctor,

0:36:29 > 0:36:31people have their favourite companion.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36The companion, I suppose, is the audience's access point.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Kind of reacting to situations in the way that you would.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41I mean, she's asking questions and everything

0:36:41 > 0:36:45but she also brings something to it as well.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49The companion today plays an integral role

0:36:49 > 0:36:52in the story of the Doctor.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Whether by falling in love...

0:36:54 > 0:36:57saving the universe by power of their memory...

0:36:57 > 0:37:01OK, kid, this is where it gets complicated.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03..jumping into the Doctor's timeline...

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Doctor!

0:37:04 > 0:37:08..or even becoming half Time Lord themselves.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Half Doctor, half girl!

0:37:11 > 0:37:14The emotional life of the companion has been developed.

0:37:14 > 0:37:19I feel like the companion role is getting very complex.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Apart from being more involved in the stories,

0:37:21 > 0:37:23the modern companion is feisty...

0:37:23 > 0:37:24Oi, watch it, spaceman!

0:37:24 > 0:37:25..forward...

0:37:25 > 0:37:28You're getting married in the morning!

0:37:28 > 0:37:29..and can be ferocious.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32You can put that stuff down or run for your lives.

0:37:32 > 0:37:33ZAPPING

0:37:33 > 0:37:34Do you like my plan?

0:37:36 > 0:37:40Initially, the companion's role was a little more straightforward -

0:37:40 > 0:37:42they were there to ask questions...

0:37:42 > 0:37:44- What is an SD?- Ask Captain Yates.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46- ..scream... - SHE SCREAMS

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Stop! We're friends!

0:37:48 > 0:37:50..and occasionally need saving.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Then one lady came along who changed it all.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01I thought all this might give me a good story. I'm a journalist.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Sarah Jane Smith.

0:38:03 > 0:38:08Sarah Jane Smith was almost like a blueprint for a lot

0:38:08 > 0:38:10of the later companions.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16In a way, she was really the first companion,

0:38:16 > 0:38:20certainly who I remember, who had a career and who had a really,

0:38:20 > 0:38:23really strong, defined character of her own.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26And so rather than just screaming and running away from monsters,

0:38:26 > 0:38:29which she also did pretty brilliantly...

0:38:29 > 0:38:31SHE SCREAMS

0:38:31 > 0:38:34..she also would come up with stuff of her own volition.

0:38:34 > 0:38:39She was so popular that in 2006, she made a return to our screens.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Hello, Sarah Jane.- It's you!

0:38:46 > 0:38:49Everyone was so excited she was back.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Who's she?- Rose, Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane, Rose.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Hi.

0:38:53 > 0:38:54Well, almost everyone.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57I don't mean to be rude or anything, but who exactly are you?

0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Sarah Jane Smith. I used to travel with the Doctor.- Oh!

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- He's never mentioned ya. - Oh, I must have done.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Sarah Jane, I mention her all the time.- Hold on. Sorry... Never.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11What, not even once?

0:39:11 > 0:39:13He didn't mention me once?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Oh, mate, the missus and the ex,

0:39:15 > 0:39:17welcome to every man's worst nightmare.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Even though she came back, Sarah Jane will mainly

0:39:20 > 0:39:24be remembered for the time she spent as Tom Baker's assistant.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26No, hang on, who was...? Hang on...

0:39:26 > 0:39:29No, he had Leela as well, didn't he?

0:39:29 > 0:39:30How could we forget?

0:39:30 > 0:39:34The next companion was more likely to get into a scrap than the Doctor.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Meet the all action companion, Leela.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39Hello, did I startle you?

0:39:39 > 0:39:41"Shall I kill him now, Doctor?"

0:39:41 > 0:39:44# I got the eye of the tiger. #

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Do I really look like that?

0:39:48 > 0:39:49K-9: Affirmative.

0:39:49 > 0:39:54Leela is a sort of... you know, from a tribe,

0:39:54 > 0:39:55what you'd call a primitive person

0:39:55 > 0:39:59from some planet where they're all daggers and they wear skins.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02I am a warrior of the Sevateem. I know the different sounds of death.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Leela is feisty, intelligent...

0:40:05 > 0:40:07# Going to hear me roar Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh... #

0:40:07 > 0:40:09..fearsome.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12It was cool that Leela was almost like the Doctor's bodyguard,

0:40:12 > 0:40:14a bit of role reversal.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17The alpha female instead of the alpha male.

0:40:17 > 0:40:22- That was a prodigious throw. - Prodigious?! - Well, it was an amazing throw.

0:40:26 > 0:40:31Our next companion, Peri Brown, was also fond of a skimpy outfit.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33- # They say, "Hey, sexy" - Hey, sexy

0:40:33 > 0:40:37- # When I'm dancing in the club They say, "Hey sexy"- Hey sexy... #

0:40:37 > 0:40:40I suppose that people would say that particularly Peri

0:40:40 > 0:40:42was a sex symbol.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45# They're loving me so much... #

0:40:45 > 0:40:48It was the '80s when we were doing the series.

0:40:48 > 0:40:54And Nicola Bryant suffered sometimes with being costumed as older men

0:40:54 > 0:40:57thought dolly birds ought to be costumed.

0:40:57 > 0:40:58He sounds confident. I don't want to know.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01It wasn't something I thought about while I was playing the part,

0:41:01 > 0:41:04other than the fact that it was probably quite hard to forget

0:41:04 > 0:41:06that you are wearing a leotard and a pair of shorts

0:41:06 > 0:41:09and getting frostbite when you were filming.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Things warmed up with the seventh Doctor

0:41:13 > 0:41:16and his fully-clothed sidekick, Dorothy, better known as Ace.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20# It's my party

0:41:20 > 0:41:22# I'll do, do what I want

0:41:22 > 0:41:25# Do, do what I want... #

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Ace was a kind of street kid.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Quite the little expert with explosives, I hear.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Yeah, so what if I am?- Excellent.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37She was feisty, she was cheeky.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41Ace was an odd kind of hybrid, really,

0:41:42 > 0:41:46because she felt quite contemporary,

0:41:46 > 0:41:49but then spoke the Queen's English.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Oh, go on, Professor, let me come too.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Well... I don't see why not.- Ace!

0:41:54 > 0:41:56I mean, I have never met anyone like that.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00When people find out that I was in Doctor Who, they always say,

0:42:00 > 0:42:01"Oh, which one were you?"

0:42:01 > 0:42:05And I always say, very proudly as I puff out my chest,

0:42:05 > 0:42:08"I was the one who beat up a Dalek with a baseball bat!"

0:42:25 > 0:42:29Well, I'm 45 years old. So my favourite Doctor is Tom Baker.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31HE WHISTLES

0:42:31 > 0:42:35Would you like a jelly baby? I've no choice about that.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Spending seven years in the TARDIS,

0:42:37 > 0:42:41Tom Baker's Doctor was the longest serving and the most unpredictable.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45You simply don't know what's going to come out of that man's mouth

0:42:45 > 0:42:47or what is going on behind those remarkable eyes.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49All change at Venus for the Brighton line.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51SHE SIGHS HEAVILY, BANG

0:42:51 > 0:42:56- Was that bang big enough for you, Brigadier?- Nicely done, Doctor.

0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Tom Baker was eccentric, flamboyant. - You mustn't believe all they say.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- His eyes!- Keep looking into my eyes!

0:43:04 > 0:43:08And sort of walking around like that. Casting a very big shadow.

0:43:08 > 0:43:13He was quite sort of imposing, quite sort of grand.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16- AS TOM BAKER:- Oh, my God, it's, like, all kicking off and that.

0:43:16 > 0:43:20- This is, like, so well bad, I'm going to have to totally, like, sort this out and that.- You stay here.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25With his playful nature and trademark flowing scarf,

0:43:25 > 0:43:29it didn't take long for the fourth Doctor to capture the public's imagination.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Enormous zest.

0:43:32 > 0:43:36Bigger than the screen in which he was appearing, and yet it worked.

0:43:36 > 0:43:40He embodies, in all its weirdness, what the Doctor is,

0:43:40 > 0:43:42what the Doctor means.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45- AS TOM BAKER:- Home sapiens - puny, defenceless bipeds.

0:43:45 > 0:43:46They are indomitable!

0:43:48 > 0:43:52He bases a lot of his scenes on being four years old.

0:43:52 > 0:43:56- Do you think I might attract attention?- It is just possible.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59And probably offer you a jelly baby.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Would you like a jelly baby? Do you care for a jelly baby?

0:44:01 > 0:44:05- Would you like a jelly baby?- Shut up!

0:44:05 > 0:44:07It was kind of acceptable back in the day.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09You'd be like, "Would you like a sweet?"

0:44:09 > 0:44:12Someone would be like, "That's a really lovely gesture."

0:44:12 > 0:44:14If you give someone a sweet now, they'd be like,

0:44:14 > 0:44:16"No, get away from me, you weirdo.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18"That's clearly got something in it."

0:44:18 > 0:44:20A simple "no, thank you" would have been sufficient.

0:44:20 > 0:44:24After the third Doctor's exile on Earth, this Doctor brought with him

0:44:24 > 0:44:25a new sense of adventure.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27I can't waste any more time.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28Things to do, places to go.

0:44:28 > 0:44:32He took us on a journey of dark tales in otherworldly universes

0:44:32 > 0:44:36which gave his era a Hammer horror feel.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:44:39 > 0:44:42By the end of Tom Baker's era, he'd defeated more villains

0:44:42 > 0:44:47and travelled to more places in time than any other Doctor before him.

0:44:47 > 0:44:48And if that wasn't enough,

0:44:48 > 0:44:51he was even crowned President of the Time Lords.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54I invest you...

0:44:54 > 0:44:58Lord President of the Supreme Council.

0:44:58 > 0:45:02In the end, the fourth Doctor succumbed to his regeneration

0:45:02 > 0:45:03in a suitably heroic fashion -

0:45:03 > 0:45:07saving the Earth from his evil nemesis, the Master.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11Leaving behind the legacy of creating arguably the most

0:45:11 > 0:45:13iconic Doctor of all time.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16I think whenever the Doctor's a bit quirky and eccentric,

0:45:16 > 0:45:20it makes them more human and more warm and lovable,

0:45:20 > 0:45:24and I think Tom Baker definitely had a lot of that about him.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32He was completely mesmerising. Full stop, Tom Baker.

0:45:33 > 0:45:34It's the end.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41We've already taken a look at the Daleks,

0:45:41 > 0:45:44but there's another group of bad guys that have been battling

0:45:44 > 0:45:47the Doctor since his first incarnation.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49What was that?

0:45:49 > 0:45:52I don't know. A robot.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Nope. It's not a robot.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57Cyberman! Get down!

0:45:58 > 0:46:02That's right, it's the Cybermen, the part steel, part human bad guys.

0:46:04 > 0:46:05I've seen them before.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07They're relentless, they're ruthless,

0:46:07 > 0:46:09and they know how to make an entrance.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18Most of all, Cybermen are just plain scary.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23I was always scared of Cybermen when I was a kid.

0:46:23 > 0:46:26The emotionless, facial expression.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28I guess it was the face that I was scared of.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32Terrified of that weird,

0:46:32 > 0:46:34blank expression that they have in their face.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39You are never quite sure what's going on behind that mask.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44What happens in there?

0:46:44 > 0:46:46The Cybermen were originally human beings,

0:46:46 > 0:46:50but gradually they replaced their weak mortal flesh with metal and plastic.

0:46:50 > 0:46:54They decided the way to go - stainless steel, you know?

0:46:54 > 0:46:58It is nonporous, it cleans easily. OK, it scratches.

0:46:58 > 0:47:02But you just get a Brillo Pad. Give it a rub, it's as good as new.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06- Excellent!- In the process, they lost their compassion.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08Don't give me those blank looks.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11- Along with all other emotions. - We feel nothing.

0:47:11 > 0:47:16Nevertheless, they managed to maintain a pretty strong yearning for world domination.

0:47:16 > 0:47:18Destroy them.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20Destroy them at once.

0:47:20 > 0:47:24Close enough to us for their differences to be utterly chilling.

0:47:26 > 0:47:27OK.

0:47:27 > 0:47:28Despite their relentlessness,

0:47:28 > 0:47:30the Cybermen were by no means invincible

0:47:30 > 0:47:31if you knew what you were doing.

0:47:31 > 0:47:36The Cybermen had this fatal flaw, they were severely allergic to gold.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42- Bullets are a waste of time with this lot.- Bullets won't stop them.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45What you need is a well-aimed ray gun, a spear-chucking alien,

0:47:45 > 0:47:48- or even a good old-fashioned bow and arrow.- A hit.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52And if all else fails, just knock his block off.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58I don't think I can take much more of this.

0:48:00 > 0:48:04But as we all know, every Doctor Who baddie needs a catchphrase.

0:48:04 > 0:48:08- And the Cybermen's is certainly easy to remember.- We are the Cybermen.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11- No, not that one.- You will be deleted.- Ah, that's better.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Clearly they had "exterminate" for the Daleks.

0:48:15 > 0:48:19And then they were like, "What's another word for exterminate?"

0:48:19 > 0:48:23- You will be deleted.- "Erase?" - Delete.- Delete.

0:48:23 > 0:48:29- Very easy to remember.- I'm glad they went for "delete" over "back space".

0:48:29 > 0:48:31Time now for a bit of a sporting departure.

0:48:31 > 0:48:34Peter Davison was a part-time cricketer.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37# I say, I don't like cricket... #

0:48:37 > 0:48:40- Did he actually like cricket? - I love cricket.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42# I love it... #

0:48:42 > 0:48:45There seems to be something distinctly wrong.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48OK, sorry, apart from loving cricket, he was also the fifth Doctor.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58It was a real pleasant surprise

0:48:58 > 0:49:02when the floppy-haired Peter Davison emerged.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04Peter Davison, I feel like he's my Doctor.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07My earliest memories of Doctor Who are Peter Davison.

0:49:07 > 0:49:09He's so soft and warm.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12He'd saved all the animals in another life as a vet.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16And he's reckless and innocent,

0:49:16 > 0:49:18and he has qualities of youth about him,

0:49:18 > 0:49:21which we'd never, ever seen in the Doctor before.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23These things are irrelevant.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!

0:49:31 > 0:49:35Peter Davison's Doctor, very energetic, slightly breathy,

0:49:35 > 0:49:36hands in pockets, running away.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Part of the reason I was cast, I think,

0:49:38 > 0:49:41was because the producer wanted someone who could move a bit quicker.

0:49:41 > 0:49:44And I was very proud of the fact that I ran down corridors faster

0:49:44 > 0:49:46than my predecessors.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49I'm Lord President, am I not?

0:49:49 > 0:49:51You will obey my commands. And off he runs.

0:49:51 > 0:49:53- Great energy with Peter's Doctor. - Hold tight.

0:49:54 > 0:49:58He was a breath of fresh air. It rejuvenated the TARDIS.

0:49:58 > 0:50:02It felt like a very good, pure Doctor.

0:50:02 > 0:50:04Yeah, I think it is fair.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06Yeah, I was a very nice chap.

0:50:06 > 0:50:08Still am. Well, kind of.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10Your mum would like him if you brought him home.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12They'd be like, "Ah, he's so sweet."

0:50:12 > 0:50:16This nice-guy fifth Doctor was certainly a departure from the fourth.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20I enjoyed the contrast of his Doctor

0:50:20 > 0:50:26to the sort of confidence of Tom Baker's doctor.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Are you all right?

0:50:28 > 0:50:31Just a twinge of cosmic angst.

0:50:31 > 0:50:35I think I wanted to introduce a bit of self-doubt into the character.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37He'd been a bit too assured,

0:50:37 > 0:50:39too absolutely self-confident he could just...

0:50:39 > 0:50:41everything was going to be sorted out.

0:50:41 > 0:50:45And I just felt, partly because it was a nice thing to play as an actor,

0:50:45 > 0:50:48that I wanted to make my character a little fallible.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50There can't be much time left. What can we do?

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Abandon methodical procedure for blind instinct.

0:50:52 > 0:50:55At times it felt like almost a lack of confidence in himself

0:50:55 > 0:50:58as the Doctor, and that made him very interesting and quite,

0:50:58 > 0:51:00you know, human.

0:51:00 > 0:51:01I give you my word.

0:51:01 > 0:51:04Just as you keep your word to Tegan?

0:51:04 > 0:51:06That's not fair.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08The fifth Doctor's reign came to an heroic end

0:51:08 > 0:51:12when he saved companion Peri's life.

0:51:12 > 0:51:14Open your mouth. You must drink this.

0:51:14 > 0:51:18# Never fall away... #

0:51:19 > 0:51:23From my experience, particularly as Peri,

0:51:23 > 0:51:25he's a heroic Doctor,

0:51:25 > 0:51:28because for Peri's sake,

0:51:28 > 0:51:30he is prepared to go through regeneration,

0:51:30 > 0:51:34so he quite literally dies for the sake of his companion,

0:51:34 > 0:51:36whom he hasn't known very long.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39- Where is it?- What?- The bat's milk!

0:51:39 > 0:51:42Finished. Only enough for you.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45It was certainly a moving end to the reign of the fifth Doctor,

0:51:45 > 0:51:49but it will always be remembered for a couple of reasons.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51Peter Davison, no doubt if you're speaking to him,

0:51:51 > 0:51:54he will say that he has an overriding

0:51:54 > 0:51:57memory of the scene that he was upstaged by part of my anatomy.

0:51:57 > 0:51:59You kind of...

0:51:59 > 0:52:01You try to be in a moment,

0:52:01 > 0:52:04but in the end, you're basically just looking at Peri's chest.

0:52:04 > 0:52:05Nicola Bryant's cleavage.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09Which I thought somewhat took away from the great performance

0:52:09 > 0:52:11I was giving about a foot and a half below the cleavage.

0:52:11 > 0:52:16# She's got me spinning... #

0:52:16 > 0:52:17HE LAUGHS

0:52:17 > 0:52:21And you would sort of...I guess feel a bit sorry for Peter Davison

0:52:21 > 0:52:26who is giving, arguably, the performance of his career.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28And the majority of the audience, I think,

0:52:28 > 0:52:29are just sort of going, "Oh, Peri."

0:52:29 > 0:52:31I'm going soon.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34It's time to say goodbye.

0:52:34 > 0:52:36Don't give up.

0:52:36 > 0:52:38You can't leave me now.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41I might regenerate.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43So apart from a memorable farewell,

0:52:43 > 0:52:46what was the legacy of the fifth Doctor?

0:52:46 > 0:52:48I'd like people to think of the fifth Doctor as introducing

0:52:48 > 0:52:52an element of humanness to the Doctor.

0:52:52 > 0:52:56He brings the idea of the Doctor as a young, reckless genius.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01And, really, it lays down a new path for the show

0:53:01 > 0:53:02when he takes it over.

0:53:02 > 0:53:06So I'd like to think that I started that trend that others followed later.

0:53:06 > 0:53:10Look at you! The hat, the coat, the crickety cricket stuff, the...

0:53:10 > 0:53:12stick of celery. Brave choice, celery.

0:53:12 > 0:53:16But fair play to you, not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable.

0:53:16 > 0:53:17Shut up!

0:53:20 > 0:53:21Yeah!

0:53:21 > 0:53:24So the fifth Doctor wasn't always such a nice guy, but he couldn't

0:53:24 > 0:53:28hold a candle to our next villain, one of the baddest of the bad guys.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32The Master.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34There's been a few Masters.

0:53:34 > 0:53:35Menacing, evil.

0:53:35 > 0:53:37Pretty naughty, really.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40The Master - the Doctor's nemesis.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42- He's crazy.- Crazy.

0:53:42 > 0:53:43He's brilliant.

0:53:43 > 0:53:45- And he's ruthless.- Kill him!

0:53:45 > 0:53:49But, in fact, he's a little bit like the Doctor.

0:53:49 > 0:53:50Well, the Master, in lots of ways,

0:53:50 > 0:53:53- is who the Doctor could be if he choose to be.- Sweet.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56If Doctor Who is a Yin

0:53:56 > 0:53:58then the Master...

0:53:58 > 0:53:59is a Yang.

0:54:02 > 0:54:04And like all good Doctor Who villains,

0:54:04 > 0:54:06the Master is still intent on causing disaster.

0:54:07 > 0:54:11Oh, all right, then, it's me. Ta-da!

0:54:11 > 0:54:15John Simm was very lucky, cos he was obviously told to chew the furniture

0:54:15 > 0:54:18and go for it with his portrayal of the Master.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20And did.

0:54:20 > 0:54:23Here come the drums!

0:54:26 > 0:54:29In typical Master fashion, he had his eye on world domination.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34- But a row with the missus soon put an end to that.- Always the women.

0:54:34 > 0:54:37As we all know, you can't keep a good Master down,

0:54:37 > 0:54:38and he was soon back for another try.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40But this time, he wasn't alone.

0:54:40 > 0:54:42You're crafting your thoughts inside them, is that it?

0:54:42 > 0:54:43Oh, that's way too easy.

0:54:43 > 0:54:47No, no, no. They're not going to think like me.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49They're going to BECOME me!

0:54:49 > 0:54:51What does John Simm do?

0:54:51 > 0:54:54He turns the entire world into John Simm.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56Which is great.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59For John Simm.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01What have you done, you monster?

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Oh, I'm sorry, are you talking to me?

0:55:04 > 0:55:06Or to me?

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Or to me? I am everyone.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12And everyone in the world is me!

0:55:12 > 0:55:15I love John Simm, but...

0:55:15 > 0:55:18you know, I don't want to be waking up next to him.

0:55:18 > 0:55:20There is no human race, there is only...

0:55:20 > 0:55:23the Master race!

0:55:23 > 0:55:27You know, I want to spoon, but I don't want to be spooning John.

0:55:27 > 0:55:28Sorry, John.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29I like you.

0:55:29 > 0:55:33Despite the Master's evil mind, the Doctor never gave up on him.

0:55:33 > 0:55:34You could be so much more.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36You could be beautiful.

0:55:37 > 0:55:41It allows us to see the Doctor in a different light.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43And also gives him an equal to fight against.

0:55:45 > 0:55:48With a mind like that, we could travel the stars.

0:55:48 > 0:55:49It would be my honour.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51But it wasn't enough to halt his lust for power.

0:55:51 > 0:55:55And before we knew it, there was a tear-up of biblical proportions,

0:55:55 > 0:55:57with the Doctor on one side

0:55:57 > 0:56:00and the Time Lords and the Master on the other.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01Get out of the way.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04Finally, there was a crack in the Master's armour

0:56:04 > 0:56:08and he showed that even the baddest of the bad guys can mend their ways

0:56:08 > 0:56:10as he helped the Doctor to defeat the Time Lords.

0:56:10 > 0:56:12You made me!

0:56:12 > 0:56:16And then, like the enigma that he is, he vanished.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19It's the moral ambiguity of a guy that's supposed to be a villain,

0:56:19 > 0:56:22but then does something that was good at the end.

0:56:22 > 0:56:23He's the toss of the coin -

0:56:23 > 0:56:25what a Time Lord could decide to do.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27That's what makes Time Lords interesting.

0:56:27 > 0:56:29The Doctor, in lots of ways, is the Master.

0:56:29 > 0:56:33He's just... He's just the other way round.

0:56:33 > 0:56:37The Doctor is interested in justice and in equality and in liberty.

0:56:37 > 0:56:41And the Master is interested in ruling the universe.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53- Doctor? - You're expecting someone else?

0:56:53 > 0:56:57When the sixth incarnation of the Doctor burst onto our screens,

0:56:57 > 0:57:00almost straightaway we knew what we were going to get.

0:57:00 > 0:57:03- What's happened?- Change, my dear.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05Change, my dear.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08And it seems not a moment too soon.

0:57:08 > 0:57:11The changeover from fifth to sixth hadn't been an easy one

0:57:11 > 0:57:12for our beloved Doctor.

0:57:12 > 0:57:17Instead of having a normal, quite comfortable regeneration,

0:57:17 > 0:57:20he was going to go through this sort of trauma.

0:57:20 > 0:57:25- You still seem a little stable. - Unstable?

0:57:25 > 0:57:26Unstable?!

0:57:26 > 0:57:28UNSTABLE?!

0:57:28 > 0:57:32He was going to be psychologically damaged for a while by his regeneration.

0:57:32 > 0:57:34- You're bonkers.- That's debatable.

0:57:34 > 0:57:39For the first time, we began to see a side of the Doctor that wasn't so easy to like.

0:57:39 > 0:57:42Colin Baker allows the Doctor to finally express his own ego.

0:57:42 > 0:57:47I'm a Time Lord! A man of science, temperament.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49I've never seen this side of you before.

0:57:49 > 0:57:52People did not like the sixth Doctor.

0:57:52 > 0:57:53Wait a minute.

0:57:53 > 0:57:58The shock of Colin Baker after Peter Davison was quite marked, actually.

0:57:58 > 0:58:02It feels like if that was happening today, to me,

0:58:02 > 0:58:05I would have been moaning about it on Twitter.

0:58:05 > 0:58:06I'm pretty sure.

0:58:06 > 0:58:10Yes, the era of the nice-guy fifth Doctor was now truly over,

0:58:10 > 0:58:11and in a now famous scene,

0:58:11 > 0:58:15our new Time Lord asks for a bit of patience from the haters.

0:58:15 > 0:58:16And I would suggest, Peri,

0:58:16 > 0:58:20that you wait a little before you start criticising my new persona.

0:58:20 > 0:58:23You may well find it isn't quite as disagreeable as you think.

0:58:24 > 0:58:25Well, I hope so.

0:58:26 > 0:58:32Whatever else happens, I AM the Doctor.

0:58:33 > 0:58:36Whether you like it or not.

0:58:36 > 0:58:38You tell 'em, Doc.

0:58:38 > 0:58:42OK, the sixth Doctor had his faults, but at least he looked cool, right?

0:58:44 > 0:58:46Multicoloured monstrosity of a coat.

0:58:46 > 0:58:49I've been moaning about my outfit for 30 years.

0:58:49 > 0:58:53- I suddenly feel conspicuous. - I'm not surprised in that coat(!)

0:58:53 > 0:58:56They asked me what I'd like to wear as the Doctor.

0:58:56 > 0:58:58And what I described

0:58:58 > 0:59:01was pretty much what Chris Eccleston got.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04I'm not convinced he could have pulled off cool.

0:59:04 > 0:59:07- Joseph and his Technicolor explosion. - It was spectacular.

0:59:07 > 0:59:10- I mean, dreadful. - You can't go out dressed like that.

0:59:10 > 0:59:13- Why ever not?- You look dreadful!

0:59:13 > 0:59:16The perfect marriage of awful and really good.

0:59:16 > 0:59:20Yes, the sixth Doctor was certainly a departure from the previous five,

0:59:20 > 0:59:23as he blazed a darker trail that later Doctors went on to follow.

0:59:23 > 0:59:28The Doctor's ego becomes rampant in the form of the sixth Doctor.

0:59:28 > 0:59:33Let's exercise the grey cells for once, shall we?

0:59:33 > 0:59:35Rather than the muscles.

0:59:36 > 0:59:40It did strike me that a man who is 900 years old

0:59:40 > 0:59:41and has two hearts,

0:59:41 > 0:59:45comes from a planet of Time Lords called Gallifrey,

0:59:45 > 0:59:48might behave a little differently from a bloke who

0:59:48 > 0:59:51lives in Surbiton and commutes to the City every day,

0:59:51 > 0:59:55and that some of his actions might be hard for us to understand.

0:59:56 > 0:59:57HE YELLS

0:59:59 > 1:00:01Forgive me if I don't join you.

1:00:03 > 1:00:06My last appearance was getting into the TARDIS,

1:00:06 > 1:00:08saying "carrot juice" and disappearing into oblivion.

1:00:10 > 1:00:12'Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice...'

1:00:15 > 1:00:19I understand that some impostor called Sylvester McCoy

1:00:19 > 1:00:24swaddled himself in my clothes, with a blonde wig on pretending to be me.

1:00:27 > 1:00:30And there you have it, the sixth Doctor, defiant to the last.

1:00:30 > 1:00:32I AM the Doctor.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35Whether you like it or not.

1:00:43 > 1:00:45So far on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,

1:00:45 > 1:00:50we've met six very different incarnations of the Doctor.

1:00:50 > 1:00:51- Do you care for a jelly baby? - Shut up!

1:00:51 > 1:00:54We've seen the Cybermen, the Daleks and the Master.

1:00:54 > 1:00:57It's me. Ta-da!

1:00:57 > 1:01:00And we've looked into the world of the companion.

1:01:00 > 1:01:02Do you like my gun?

1:01:02 > 1:01:04Still to come - we countdown more Doctors...

1:01:06 > 1:01:08Look at the women in the Doctor's life...

1:01:10 > 1:01:11And the men.

1:01:11 > 1:01:13Sit still. Shut up.

1:01:21 > 1:01:24The seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy

1:01:24 > 1:01:27was, on the face of it, a bit of a clown.

1:01:27 > 1:01:29I know that woman from somewhere.

1:01:29 > 1:01:32I guess my favourite doctor is Sylvester McCoy.

1:01:32 > 1:01:35Look at me. I can see.

1:01:35 > 1:01:39My doctor was much lighter, Buster Keaton-esque, Chaplin-esque.

1:01:39 > 1:01:47- Sylvester started off in a borrowed coat from Colin Baker.- Where am I?

1:01:47 > 1:01:48Who am I? And who are you?

1:01:48 > 1:01:51He may have started in a borrowed coat,

1:01:51 > 1:01:53but he soon developed his own unique identity.

1:01:53 > 1:01:58His wardrobe was off the scale.

1:01:58 > 1:02:00Thank goodness in this regeneration I have

1:02:00 > 1:02:04we gained my impeccable sense of haute couture.

1:02:04 > 1:02:06Like, I loved his hat and his swagger.

1:02:06 > 1:02:07HE SIGHS

1:02:07 > 1:02:09I think that's quite a good sentence.

1:02:10 > 1:02:13He worked with props so well, so like his hat.

1:02:13 > 1:02:15And his umbrella.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18He plays the spoons, which he always does in everything.

1:02:20 > 1:02:21Oh!

1:02:21 > 1:02:25McCoy is a brilliant comedic actor.

1:02:25 > 1:02:29His Doctor was a kind of trickstery, magician.

1:02:29 > 1:02:32- Things don't just vanish.- No.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38But it soon became apparent that under this playful exterior

1:02:38 > 1:02:40lay a more complex character.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42He had a specific...

1:02:42 > 1:02:46transformation within his character.

1:02:46 > 1:02:48The more I know me, the less I like me.

1:02:50 > 1:02:53I realised when I was playing the role that there was so much

1:02:53 > 1:02:55more to this character.

1:02:55 > 1:02:58On the surface he's a comical little man,

1:02:58 > 1:03:01but underneath that, he's actually one of the coldest

1:03:01 > 1:03:04and most manipulative of the Doctors.

1:03:04 > 1:03:08If you wait until the second series, and I think my Doctor became,

1:03:08 > 1:03:11started to become more mysterious.

1:03:11 > 1:03:15Look me in the eye, pull the trigger.

1:03:15 > 1:03:16End my life.

1:03:16 > 1:03:19Yes, the seventh Doctor was certainly manipulative.

1:03:19 > 1:03:21And in the story The Curse Of Fenric,

1:03:21 > 1:03:24he even used his sidekick Ace as a pawn

1:03:24 > 1:03:27in the psychological game of chess.

1:03:27 > 1:03:29Time for the one final game.

1:03:30 > 1:03:33Suddenly, you realise, hang on a minute,

1:03:33 > 1:03:37- he's actually using her for his own ends.- She's an emotional cripple.

1:03:38 > 1:03:41I wouldn't waste my time on her, unless I had to use her somehow.

1:03:41 > 1:03:42No!

1:03:42 > 1:03:46MAN LAUGHS My Doctor did play chess a lot.

1:03:46 > 1:03:48There's reasons, but he did stitch her up.

1:03:48 > 1:03:52He would be making moves, sometimes hoping, or driving

1:03:52 > 1:03:56the opposition into making the moves that would destroy them.

1:03:56 > 1:03:59His betrayal of her helps him defeat his foe

1:03:59 > 1:04:03and eventually Ace forgives and learns to trust him again.

1:04:03 > 1:04:05Where to now, Ace?

1:04:05 > 1:04:07- Home.- Home?

1:04:07 > 1:04:10- The TARDIS.- Yes, the TARDIS.

1:04:13 > 1:04:15The mystery had gone as far as I was concerned,

1:04:15 > 1:04:16I wanted to bring that back.

1:04:16 > 1:04:18That was very important.

1:04:18 > 1:04:21I wanted the "Who" to be, you know, the question mark again,

1:04:21 > 1:04:22"who is this person?"

1:04:22 > 1:04:25The sad clown, McCoy embodied that.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27You know, and it works.

1:04:27 > 1:04:29It will always work.

1:04:31 > 1:04:32Sylvester McCoy.

1:04:32 > 1:04:37A wonderful, magical, wizard-like clowning Doctor.

1:04:37 > 1:04:39Yeah, terrific.

1:04:41 > 1:04:42So the Doctors had a dog...

1:04:42 > 1:04:44Goodbye, Master.

1:04:44 > 1:04:46- ..aliens...- Goodness me, I'm tired.

1:04:46 > 1:04:48And, of course, women for his companions.

1:04:51 > 1:04:54It almost feels like there's someone left out.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56Of course, it's the boys.

1:04:56 > 1:04:58Sit still. Shut up.

1:04:59 > 1:05:01Nice to see you again.

1:05:02 > 1:05:05- Oh, my God! - What are you getting at, Doctor?

1:05:05 > 1:05:06How could you forget them?

1:05:09 > 1:05:12We all know that guys, when they get together,

1:05:12 > 1:05:14they're like all a bit more, "Oi, oi..."

1:05:14 > 1:05:16THEY LAUGH

1:05:18 > 1:05:24One of the Doctor's shortest-lasting companions ever was boy genius, Adam Mitchell.

1:05:24 > 1:05:29- Oh, my God!- The Doctor accepted Adam as a companion at Rose's request.

1:05:29 > 1:05:30On your own head.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33I think Adam had the potential to be a great companion.

1:05:33 > 1:05:35But it wasn't to be.

1:05:35 > 1:05:39Adam was a bit of a naughty boy, and the Doctor soon decides to send him

1:05:39 > 1:05:43home after he tries to take future technology back to his own time.

1:05:44 > 1:05:46- See ya! - A lot of people always ask me

1:05:46 > 1:05:48whether, you know, I would come back in the show.

1:05:48 > 1:05:51But I think Adam's two-episode stint was great.

1:05:51 > 1:05:53You can't just go, in my head I've got a chip Type II.

1:05:53 > 1:05:55My head opens.

1:05:55 > 1:05:56Stop it!

1:05:58 > 1:06:02But someone who's stuck around a little bit longer was Mickey.

1:06:02 > 1:06:04Doctor!

1:06:06 > 1:06:09Things started out wheelie bad for Mickey.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11# I'm a loser, baby... #

1:06:11 > 1:06:14He was just very scaredy cat,

1:06:14 > 1:06:17very, sort of, scared of his own shadow.

1:06:17 > 1:06:20That thing down there, the liquid, Rose, it can talk!

1:06:20 > 1:06:23And then you see Mickey starting to change, drastically.

1:06:26 > 1:06:29- Nice to see ya.- Come and have a go!

1:06:35 > 1:06:37Just stay where you are, mister.

1:06:37 > 1:06:42The name's Mickey. Mickey Smith. Defending the Earth.

1:06:42 > 1:06:46Next up, a man who also saved the world once or twice -

1:06:46 > 1:06:50time-travelling sex symbol, Captain Jack Harkness.

1:06:51 > 1:06:53# Bend me, shape me anyway you want me... #

1:06:53 > 1:06:57- Captain Jack Harkness.- Stop it. - Maybe later, Blue.

1:06:58 > 1:07:00Jack's time seemed to have come to an end

1:07:00 > 1:07:01when he was destroyed by Dalek.

1:07:01 > 1:07:03Exterminate!

1:07:03 > 1:07:05I kind of figured that.

1:07:07 > 1:07:11But thanks to a possessed and very scary looking Rose...

1:07:11 > 1:07:12I bring life.

1:07:12 > 1:07:15Captain Jack was restored to his former glory.

1:07:15 > 1:07:18- What happened?- Rose.

1:07:18 > 1:07:22And as a bonus, he was given the gift of immortality.

1:07:22 > 1:07:24I'm the man who can never die.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27- He's dead. - HE GASPS, SHE SCREAMS

1:07:27 > 1:07:28No, he's going to fry!

1:07:34 > 1:07:38And the good thing is, he's not dead for long. I get to kill again.

1:07:38 > 1:07:41If you're going to play a character where you're going to be this immortal gung ho,

1:07:41 > 1:07:44cool, American guy.

1:07:44 > 1:07:46Who's going to say no to that?

1:07:46 > 1:07:52One man who Amy Pond couldn't say no to was our most recent male companion, Rory Williams.

1:07:54 > 1:07:57- This is Rory, he's a friend. - Boyfriend.

1:07:57 > 1:08:00When Amy vanished the night before the wedding,

1:08:00 > 1:08:04Rory obviously had his suspicions about his fiancee's new best friend.

1:08:05 > 1:08:06But you're human!

1:08:06 > 1:08:09You're Amy, you're getting married in the morning!

1:08:09 > 1:08:11Between Amy, the Doctor and Rory...

1:08:11 > 1:08:14it's like a love triangle.

1:08:14 > 1:08:18Tell you what, you're a lucky man, she's a great kisser. GLASS SMASHES

1:08:18 > 1:08:20Got my spaceship, got my boys.

1:08:20 > 1:08:23- My work here is done!- Pfft!

1:08:23 > 1:08:27Er, we are not her boys.

1:08:27 > 1:08:29Yeah, we are.

1:08:29 > 1:08:32I think essentially it became the most dysfunctional family

1:08:32 > 1:08:34in all of time and space.

1:08:34 > 1:08:38But as their journey went on, Rory showed Amy he could be a hero.

1:08:38 > 1:08:40- Heil!- Heil!

1:08:42 > 1:08:46- Can you ride a motorbike? - I expect so. It's that sort of day.

1:08:47 > 1:08:49And to prove how he heroic he was,

1:08:49 > 1:08:52he only ever died once...

1:08:52 > 1:08:54- Looks aren't everything.- Twice.

1:08:54 > 1:08:55GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

1:08:55 > 1:08:57Well, quite a few times, actually.

1:09:02 > 1:09:05But I suppose it is kind of hard

1:09:05 > 1:09:07to compete with someone

1:09:07 > 1:09:10when their boyfriend Rory keeps coming back to life.

1:09:10 > 1:09:11That's pretty cool.

1:09:12 > 1:09:17He proved himself more than a worthy participant in this three-way

1:09:17 > 1:09:20relationship, and cemented his place in Amy's heart by waiting

1:09:20 > 1:09:23nearly 2,000 years to see her.

1:09:23 > 1:09:25Wow, that's proper love for you.

1:09:25 > 1:09:28- How could I leave her? - Why did you have to be so...

1:09:31 > 1:09:32..human?

1:09:32 > 1:09:35And finally, of course, Rory got his girl.

1:09:35 > 1:09:39- Mr Pond!- No. I'm not Mr Pond.

1:09:39 > 1:09:40That is not how it works.

1:09:40 > 1:09:42Yes, it is.

1:09:42 > 1:09:44Yeah, it is.

1:09:55 > 1:09:59The seventh Doctor's journey came to an end on the streets of San Francisco.

1:09:59 > 1:10:03But after some ill-advised, dodgy double open-heart surgery,

1:10:03 > 1:10:04the eighth Doctor materialised.

1:10:07 > 1:10:12Paul McGann's Doctor, I think, created a wonderful intriguing mystique,

1:10:12 > 1:10:15that that sense of when a Doctor is freshly regenerated

1:10:15 > 1:10:19and the early hours of behaviour is very erratic, very confused.

1:10:19 > 1:10:22He spends the first 10 minutes going, "Who am I?"

1:10:22 > 1:10:26And that was an opportunity, of course, to find the costume.

1:10:26 > 1:10:29I said, "OK I'll put that on, but I don't want to wear the scarf."

1:10:29 > 1:10:32He was elegant. He looked Byron-esque.

1:10:32 > 1:10:35A great alien quality as well.

1:10:35 > 1:10:38A meteor storm. The sky above us was dancing with light!

1:10:39 > 1:10:41Purple, green, red and yellow. Yes!

1:10:41 > 1:10:43I think he was quite sweet.

1:10:44 > 1:10:45A sweet Doctor.

1:10:45 > 1:10:48These shoes - they fit perfect.

1:10:48 > 1:10:52Like the fourth Doctor before, the eighth had a love for Jelly babies.

1:10:52 > 1:10:55And with his sugar levels shooting through the roof,

1:10:55 > 1:10:57the ladies certainly saw him as a bit of eye candy.

1:10:57 > 1:11:00Here we go again!

1:11:00 > 1:11:02# You're nobody till somebody loves you... #

1:11:02 > 1:11:06Paul McGann is the first, but not the last of the romantic Doctors.

1:11:06 > 1:11:09He's a dashing, great looking guy.

1:11:09 > 1:11:12In a way, one of the first sex symbols and the women went,

1:11:12 > 1:11:15"Whoa, this Doctor is absolutely gorgeous."

1:11:15 > 1:11:17Yes, this space-travelling stud

1:11:17 > 1:11:20was going to take us to a place we'd never been before.

1:11:22 > 1:11:24Quite radical at the time.

1:11:24 > 1:11:27But my goodness, they've all been at it ever since.

1:11:27 > 1:11:28Are you really good at...?

1:11:28 > 1:11:33But not everyone was impressed by the Doctor's new-found sexual appetite.

1:11:33 > 1:11:37It turned a bit soapy... Soppy, and soapy.

1:11:37 > 1:11:40Grace says that you have a big secret.

1:11:40 > 1:11:47I had no conception at all that this chaste kiss was going to cause any bother.

1:11:47 > 1:11:51He's an alien. What's he messing around with human women for? For heaven's sake.

1:11:51 > 1:11:54But, of course, nor did we realise, in a little way...

1:11:54 > 1:11:57we might be pioneers.

1:11:57 > 1:12:02You know, Doctor Who had been very successful for nearly 30 years without a canoodle anywhere.

1:12:02 > 1:12:05Cos now I just think that now everybody has a kiss, don't they?

1:12:05 > 1:12:09There's always snog in Doctor Who, isn't there? Isn't there?

1:12:09 > 1:12:10We got there first.

1:12:11 > 1:12:15Ground-breaking smooch aside, he was still the Doctor,

1:12:15 > 1:12:18and wherever the Doctor may be, trouble is never far behind.

1:12:20 > 1:12:21Once the regeneration has happened,

1:12:21 > 1:12:27and then realises the Master is also there, he has to save the day.

1:12:31 > 1:12:36He's planning to take my body so that he will live and I will die!

1:12:36 > 1:12:39But will he make it? We don't know, the clock is ticking.

1:12:39 > 1:12:43- And to make things worse, it's New Year's Eve.- Champagne?- Grace?

1:12:43 > 1:12:46Cos it's a race against time, literally.

1:12:48 > 1:12:50Midnight is going to mean the end of everything.

1:12:50 > 1:12:53He's got him where he wants him. He keeps him trapped at one point.

1:12:54 > 1:12:55Tortures him.

1:12:58 > 1:13:00It's the perils of the Doctor.

1:13:00 > 1:13:04He becomes a fantastic hero has who saves the universe yet again.

1:13:04 > 1:13:06And with the Master sent packing,

1:13:06 > 1:13:09it was time for the Doctor to get on his way.

1:13:09 > 1:13:13And for us to join him on an incredible journey.

1:13:13 > 1:13:14Oh, no, that was it.

1:13:14 > 1:13:21The eighth Doctor just about made it into the pantheons of Doctors.

1:13:21 > 1:13:25You know what they called me? The longest and the shortest.

1:13:25 > 1:13:28I was the Doctor for the longest, just by default.

1:13:28 > 1:13:30But I wear the name with pride.

1:13:30 > 1:13:33The eighth Doctor's struggle with the Master was just

1:13:33 > 1:13:37one of hundreds of battles against alien foes over the years.

1:13:37 > 1:13:40Many of which have had us hiding behind the sofa.

1:13:40 > 1:13:44Doctor Who would be nothing without all the monsters that he fights.

1:13:44 > 1:13:46Harvest the humans!

1:13:46 > 1:13:49The fascination with Doctor Who is what monster will it be this week?

1:13:49 > 1:13:52From the Autons to the Zygons...

1:13:52 > 1:13:54From the Ood to the Judoon...

1:13:54 > 1:13:58I would say that my favourite part of Doctor Who is the villains.

1:13:59 > 1:14:02The baddies are bad and they're scary.

1:14:02 > 1:14:04Yes, they are, they're very scary.

1:14:05 > 1:14:08Have you met monsters before?

1:14:08 > 1:14:10- Yeah. - You scared of them?

1:14:10 > 1:14:11No, they're scared of me.

1:14:13 > 1:14:16My favourite episode is Blink with the Weeping Angels

1:14:16 > 1:14:17which was so, so, scary.

1:14:17 > 1:14:20Yes, you'd be blinking mad to mess with the Weeping Angels.

1:14:20 > 1:14:23These far from angelic statues can send you back in time,

1:14:23 > 1:14:26just make sure you keep your eyes open.

1:14:26 > 1:14:29My favourite monsters of all time are the Weeping Angels

1:14:29 > 1:14:30because they are the scariest.

1:14:30 > 1:14:32They just are.

1:14:32 > 1:14:35Don't look away. And don't blink!

1:14:35 > 1:14:37It was a totally new monster, totally new threat.

1:14:37 > 1:14:39And...don't blink?

1:14:40 > 1:14:41Scary.

1:14:41 > 1:14:44I actually went like that as I watched,

1:14:44 > 1:14:46as they kind of did that jump cut.

1:14:46 > 1:14:49And their normal method of killing is to send you back in time

1:14:49 > 1:14:51and let you live to death.

1:14:53 > 1:14:56I can't go past that sort of statue now without taking a side glance.

1:15:01 > 1:15:04Can you guess who our next Doctor Who villains are?

1:15:06 > 1:15:08Quiet please.

1:15:08 > 1:15:09It's the Silence.

1:15:09 > 1:15:10I remember.

1:15:17 > 1:15:19Some freaky...things, man.

1:15:23 > 1:15:25Very frightening.

1:15:25 > 1:15:29The Silence are the scariest villains ever.

1:15:29 > 1:15:31I need to know about the Silence.

1:15:33 > 1:15:34A religious order.

1:15:34 > 1:15:36Great power and discretion.

1:15:37 > 1:15:41The Silence are enemies from the Doctor's future

1:15:41 > 1:15:44and people have travelled back in time in order to kill

1:15:44 > 1:15:45the Doctor before he gets there.

1:15:45 > 1:15:47That's all he knows about the Silence.

1:15:47 > 1:15:50You've been interfering in human issues for thousands of years,

1:15:50 > 1:15:51yes, people have suffered and died,

1:15:51 > 1:15:53but what's the point in two hearts

1:15:53 > 1:15:55if you can't be a bit forgiving now and then.

1:15:55 > 1:15:57They've got really long fingers

1:15:57 > 1:16:01and when you look away from them you forget that you've seen them.

1:16:01 > 1:16:02Oh, man.

1:16:02 > 1:16:05They can be there and then you turn away and they're like,

1:16:05 > 1:16:07"Oh, I'm fine now."

1:16:07 > 1:16:09Argh!

1:16:09 > 1:16:12Out of all the monsters and villains the Doctor has battled

1:16:12 > 1:16:14throughout his journeys, there is one...

1:16:14 > 1:16:15You will be punished for this.

1:16:15 > 1:16:17..calculating...

1:16:17 > 1:16:21You have the audacity to interrupt one of my experiments.

1:16:21 > 1:16:25..tyrannical mastermind who has left his mark on the Doctor's universe.

1:16:25 > 1:16:29You have confounded me for the last time!

1:16:32 > 1:16:34Davros!

1:16:34 > 1:16:37Freaky. He's like the guy with the cat in James Bond.

1:16:37 > 1:16:38Davros is the creator of the Daleks.

1:16:38 > 1:16:41A scientist from the planet Skaro

1:16:41 > 1:16:43who believes that alongside his creations,

1:16:43 > 1:16:46he can become the supreme power in the universe.

1:16:46 > 1:16:50Welcome to my new empire, Doctor.

1:16:50 > 1:16:54He first appeared in our screens in the 1975 adventure

1:16:54 > 1:16:56Genesis Of The Daleks.

1:16:56 > 1:17:01What was brilliant about him when he first appeared is it put this

1:17:01 > 1:17:05human face to the Daleks, that they weren't just a thing that had...

1:17:05 > 1:17:08plopped out of nowhere, that they had come from somewhere.

1:17:08 > 1:17:11I will go on!

1:17:11 > 1:17:13You are insane, Davros!

1:17:13 > 1:17:15I think Michael Wisher was the first to play Davros,

1:17:15 > 1:17:18and even as a kid you knew he was in a mask and in clothes,

1:17:18 > 1:17:21and he was very still and very chilling

1:17:21 > 1:17:23and in that sort of pimped out mobility scooter

1:17:23 > 1:17:25that looked like the bottom half of a Dalek,

1:17:25 > 1:17:29he was really properly frightening and other-worldly, and evil.

1:17:32 > 1:17:36Over the last four decades like the proverbial bad penny that he is,

1:17:36 > 1:17:38Davros has continuingly reappeared

1:17:38 > 1:17:41spouting his dogma of universal conquest

1:17:41 > 1:17:43again and again and again.

1:17:43 > 1:17:45You did this!

1:17:45 > 1:17:49I name you for ever.

1:17:49 > 1:17:53You are the destroyer of the worlds!

1:17:53 > 1:17:55Argh!

1:17:55 > 1:17:58Davros may never become one of the good guys, but in

1:17:58 > 1:18:01the modern world of the Doctor, things aren't so black and white.

1:18:01 > 1:18:05The bad guys can often turn out to be not so bad.

1:18:05 > 1:18:08It's always been the case in Doctor Who that

1:18:08 > 1:18:10the Doctor finds good in everything

1:18:10 > 1:18:13and some of the creatures he meets are on his side,

1:18:13 > 1:18:15and it's not always cut and dried,

1:18:15 > 1:18:18there are Ice Warriors who have been on the Doctor's side

1:18:18 > 1:18:20that he's allied himself with.

1:18:20 > 1:18:22He's very good friends with Strax these days.

1:18:22 > 1:18:25Sir, permission to express my opposition to your current apathy.

1:18:25 > 1:18:27Permission granted.

1:18:29 > 1:18:33I think that's created a subculture of very particular characters,

1:18:33 > 1:18:37I don't think that means every Sontaran is going to be a good guy.

1:18:37 > 1:18:40I think that's just elaborating the texture of the Doctor Who universe.

1:18:40 > 1:18:42He's very good friends with Madame Vastra

1:18:42 > 1:18:44who is a Silur and he's had to fight them before.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46Nice to see you off your cloud and engaging again.

1:18:46 > 1:18:48I'm not engaging again, I'm under attack.

1:18:48 > 1:18:51There are lots and lots of creatures out there and whole races

1:18:51 > 1:18:55of creatures are bound to throw up everything along the moral spectrum.

1:18:55 > 1:18:57Apart from Daleks, they're all bad.

1:18:57 > 1:18:59Be exterminated!

1:19:08 > 1:19:10Hello.

1:19:10 > 1:19:13The Doctor's brand-new, rebooted, 9th incarnation in the shape of

1:19:13 > 1:19:16Christopher Eccleston was the ultimate tough guy Time Lord.

1:19:16 > 1:19:19He looked like he would have sorted out a couple of nightclub bouncers

1:19:19 > 1:19:21on a Friday if you need help.

1:19:21 > 1:19:23Leather jacket, short hair.

1:19:23 > 1:19:24He made it relevant.

1:19:24 > 1:19:27It was just cool. The Doctor was suddenly cool.

1:19:27 > 1:19:31MUSIC: "Underdog" by Kasabian

1:19:31 > 1:19:34Suddenly here was somebody who looked like a bloke.

1:19:34 > 1:19:37Somebody who blended into the background.

1:19:37 > 1:19:40So that for a start I thought was wonderful.

1:19:40 > 1:19:43No scarves or bow ties here, just a leather jacket

1:19:43 > 1:19:45and a come-and-have-a-go attitude.

1:19:45 > 1:19:46Are you going to witter on all night?

1:19:48 > 1:19:52It wasn't important that he was liked, I liked that.

1:19:52 > 1:19:54He looked like a gangster. You know.

1:19:54 > 1:19:57- NORTHERN ACCENT:- I'm not wearing that scarf.

1:19:57 > 1:20:00I'm not wearing that twiddle bow tie.

1:20:00 > 1:20:03I'm wearing black leather and a T-shirt.

1:20:03 > 1:20:06They decided to make it regional, give him a working class accent.

1:20:06 > 1:20:09He's northern, so you just feel a bit more scared of him.

1:20:09 > 1:20:11He's just got that edge.

1:20:11 > 1:20:13Swagger, slightly angry.

1:20:13 > 1:20:15Sort of had it up to here with aliens.

1:20:15 > 1:20:18I'm busy trying to save the life of every stupid ape

1:20:18 > 1:20:20blundering about on top of this planet, all right?

1:20:20 > 1:20:22- All right. - Yes, it is!

1:20:22 > 1:20:26We'd almost got to the point where we'd forgotten that there was

1:20:26 > 1:20:29a real person inside all those comic book excesses.

1:20:29 > 1:20:30What?

1:20:30 > 1:20:35But here was a very serious, slightly gloomy hero again,

1:20:35 > 1:20:38and he brought genuine proper gravitas

1:20:38 > 1:20:40and drama to the part of the Doctor.

1:20:40 > 1:20:43And most of that drama came from the Doctor's dark secret.

1:20:44 > 1:20:47I just wanted to say how sorry I am.

1:20:47 > 1:20:50You did think, "What on earth has happened to him?"

1:20:50 > 1:20:54The Doctor was traumatised by his role in The Last Great Time War.

1:20:54 > 1:20:58A battle that had wiped out the Daleks, or so he thought.

1:20:59 > 1:21:00Doc...

1:21:00 > 1:21:01ter..

1:21:03 > 1:21:04Impossible.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06THE Doctor?

1:21:10 > 1:21:12Exterminate!

1:21:12 > 1:21:14Exterminate!

1:21:14 > 1:21:16- Let me out! - Exterminate!

1:21:16 > 1:21:18Sir, it's going to kill him.

1:21:18 > 1:21:19It's talking!

1:21:19 > 1:21:22You are an enemy of the Daleks!

1:21:22 > 1:21:25In one of the most memorable scenes of the series,

1:21:25 > 1:21:28it soon becomes apparent that this Dalek is a dud.

1:21:30 > 1:21:31It's not working.

1:21:38 > 1:21:40Fantastic.

1:21:40 > 1:21:42Oh, fantastic!

1:21:43 > 1:21:45Powerless.

1:21:45 > 1:21:46Look at you.

1:21:46 > 1:21:49The great space dustbin. How does it feel?

1:21:49 > 1:21:50Get back.

1:21:50 > 1:21:52What for?

1:21:52 > 1:21:53What are you going to do to me?

1:21:53 > 1:21:58If you can't kill, what you good for, eh, Dalek?

1:21:58 > 1:21:59Dalek.

1:21:59 > 1:22:01What's the point of you?

1:22:01 > 1:22:04I was there on set when Chris was doing this scene

1:22:04 > 1:22:07and it's kind of a hard thing to do, do you know what I mean?

1:22:07 > 1:22:12To talk to an inanimate object and have a sort of duologue with it.

1:22:12 > 1:22:15But I think that just shows what an actor Chris is,

1:22:15 > 1:22:16that he pulled it off.

1:22:16 > 1:22:17Your race is dead.

1:22:17 > 1:22:18You all burn, all of you.

1:22:18 > 1:22:20Ten million ships on fire.

1:22:20 > 1:22:23The entire Dalek race wiped out in one second.

1:22:23 > 1:22:27The emotional power that he conveys talking to a Dalek,

1:22:27 > 1:22:31I don't think I've ever seen anything quite as strong as that.

1:22:31 > 1:22:32You lie!

1:22:32 > 1:22:33I watched it happen.

1:22:33 > 1:22:34I made it happen!

1:22:34 > 1:22:37You destroyed us?

1:22:37 > 1:22:40But this Doctor wasn't all grim, northern grit...

1:22:41 > 1:22:44MUSIC: "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke

1:22:44 > 1:22:45This is fantastic.

1:22:45 > 1:22:47Fantastic. Fantastic.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49Fantastic. Fantastic.

1:22:49 > 1:22:52Yes, he had several reasons to be cheerful - apart from a brand-new,

1:22:52 > 1:22:54all singing, all dancing TARDIS,

1:22:54 > 1:22:57he also introduced us to psychic paper.

1:22:57 > 1:23:00Look, I've got an invitation. Look. There, you see it?

1:23:00 > 1:23:02It's fine. See. "The Doctor plus one."

1:23:02 > 1:23:04I'm the Doctor. This is Rose Tyler, she's my plus one.

1:23:04 > 1:23:05Is that all right?

1:23:05 > 1:23:07The psychic paper is awesome.

1:23:07 > 1:23:10That is something which would be the coolest thing to have in real life.

1:23:10 > 1:23:12Shows them whatever I want them to see.

1:23:12 > 1:23:14Saves a lot of time.

1:23:14 > 1:23:17As a teenager, the damage I would have done with that.

1:23:17 > 1:23:22And of course he had his upgraded, slimline sonic screwdriver.

1:23:22 > 1:23:25But the most important addition to the ninth Doctor's weaponry

1:23:25 > 1:23:27was his new companion Rose.

1:23:27 > 1:23:29I think when Billie Piper came in, that kind of changed things,

1:23:29 > 1:23:31- you know. - You look beautiful.

1:23:31 > 1:23:34Cos she was pretty to look at, but she was, ah...

1:23:35 > 1:23:37..she was mean.

1:23:37 > 1:23:39Rose was a great companion.

1:23:39 > 1:23:40A very modern companion.

1:23:40 > 1:23:43Rose was the companion that it needed to be for the new age.

1:23:43 > 1:23:45You see, I'm prepared for anything.

1:23:45 > 1:23:47She was just every girl, Jane Bloggs, you know.

1:23:47 > 1:23:50- I want chips. - Me too.

1:23:50 > 1:23:52That street kid...but got a job on the TARDIS.

1:23:52 > 1:23:54I'm a chav!

1:23:54 > 1:23:56See you later, I got a job on the TARDIS, yeah.

1:23:56 > 1:23:58But Rose came with baggage.

1:23:58 > 1:23:59Mickey.

1:23:59 > 1:24:01Not a lot of good you were.

1:24:01 > 1:24:04And when she was forced to pick between him and the Doctor...

1:24:04 > 1:24:06it was a no brainer.

1:24:06 > 1:24:09The moment the Doctor appeared, Mickey never stood a chance.

1:24:09 > 1:24:11I think a lot of women maybe would...

1:24:11 > 1:24:15love to be swept off their feet by a mysterious guy...

1:24:15 > 1:24:17maybe not in a blue box...

1:24:17 > 1:24:18That would be weird.

1:24:18 > 1:24:20Did I mention it also travels in time.

1:24:20 > 1:24:22Poor Mickey, man, in his Ford Focus.

1:24:22 > 1:24:25It's no match for a time machine.

1:24:25 > 1:24:28The time machine.

1:24:28 > 1:24:30Rose and the Doctor battled farting aliens...

1:24:30 > 1:24:32- FARTS - Blimey!

1:24:32 > 1:24:36..Victorian ghosts and paid a visit to the end of the world.

1:24:37 > 1:24:40But wherever they went there were two words that kept cropping up.

1:24:40 > 1:24:42Blaidd Drwg.

1:24:42 > 1:24:43What's it mean?

1:24:43 > 1:24:45Bad Wolf.

1:24:45 > 1:24:47But I've heard that before.

1:24:47 > 1:24:50Bad Wolf. I've heard that lots of times.

1:24:50 > 1:24:54The Bad Wolf storyline, that was very confusing.

1:24:54 > 1:24:56Yes, if we're going to talk about the ninth Doctor,

1:24:56 > 1:24:59then we have to talk about the Bad Wolf.

1:24:59 > 1:25:00The big bad wolf.

1:25:00 > 1:25:03You know, all those messages, but we'll come back to that.

1:25:03 > 1:25:05Okey-doke.

1:25:05 > 1:25:06So, where were we?

1:25:06 > 1:25:08When uber-baddies the Daleks turn up,

1:25:08 > 1:25:10it appears that nothing can stop them this time.

1:25:10 > 1:25:14So the Doctor sends Rose off in the TARDIS to keep her out of harm's way

1:25:14 > 1:25:18while he threatens to go kamikaze and blow everyone to smithereens.

1:25:18 > 1:25:19I'll do it!

1:25:19 > 1:25:22Then prove yourself, Doctor!

1:25:22 > 1:25:25What are you - coward or killer?

1:25:27 > 1:25:31Well, I guess he wasn't such a tough guy after all.

1:25:31 > 1:25:32Coward.

1:25:32 > 1:25:35Meanwhile back on Earth, Rose is starting to realise that

1:25:35 > 1:25:38maybe this Bad Wolf thing is something to do with her.

1:25:38 > 1:25:40It's a link between me and the Doctor.

1:25:40 > 1:25:42Bad Wolf here, Bad Wolf there.

1:25:42 > 1:25:45Rose knows about the power locked beneath the TARDIS console,

1:25:45 > 1:25:47so she and Mickey break it open.

1:25:47 > 1:25:50She then looks into the space time vortex which gives her

1:25:50 > 1:25:53amazing powers enabling her to save Captain Jack.

1:25:53 > 1:25:56And not before she destroys the Daleks and saves the world.

1:25:56 > 1:25:58Rose, you've done it. Now stop.

1:25:58 > 1:26:01It also gives her the power to leave all those messages through her past

1:26:01 > 1:26:03to lead her to become the Bad Wolf.

1:26:03 > 1:26:05Like I said before...

1:26:05 > 1:26:06It's a message.

1:26:06 > 1:26:08..it's a pre-destination paradox.

1:26:08 > 1:26:09Ah, it's simple really.

1:26:09 > 1:26:12Anyway, it turns out that looking into the time vortex

1:26:12 > 1:26:13is really bad for you.

1:26:13 > 1:26:16You've got the entire vortex running through your head.

1:26:16 > 1:26:17You're going to burn.

1:26:17 > 1:26:19But the Doctor won't let Rose die, oh, no.

1:26:19 > 1:26:21I think you need a Doctor.

1:26:21 > 1:26:24He cheekily nabs himself a kiss from a rose...

1:26:24 > 1:26:27which also incidentally saves her life.

1:26:27 > 1:26:30He is saving her, but it's obviously a part of him...

1:26:31 > 1:26:33..where he actually just wants to...

1:26:33 > 1:26:35you know, wants to get some lip on lip action.

1:26:35 > 1:26:37Who wouldn't? It's Billie Piper.

1:26:37 > 1:26:39Love Billie Piper.

1:26:39 > 1:26:40Tell me what's going on.

1:26:40 > 1:26:42I absorbed all the energy from the time vortex

1:26:42 > 1:26:44and no-one's meant to do that.

1:26:44 > 1:26:46Yes, in true heroic fashion,

1:26:46 > 1:26:48our fearless Time Lord swallows up the vortex

1:26:48 > 1:26:51and kicks off his regeneration.

1:26:51 > 1:26:53I'm going to regenerate now. Let's have it.

1:26:56 > 1:27:01By the time I got to the end of that series, I was well in there,

1:27:01 > 1:27:03I was hooked on Christopher Eccleston.

1:27:03 > 1:27:07He brought it back with huge success.

1:27:07 > 1:27:09It's a great legacy that he carries.

1:27:09 > 1:27:12Christopher Eccleston's Doctor was amazing.

1:27:12 > 1:27:15He's exactly what the show needed to make it work.

1:27:15 > 1:27:18He owned it. He owned it.

1:27:22 > 1:27:25So far in Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide...

1:27:25 > 1:27:29we've seen nine of the 11 Doctors in action.

1:27:29 > 1:27:32- They've been intelligent... - It's antimatter.

1:27:32 > 1:27:33..courageous,

1:27:33 > 1:27:34sometimes a little grumpy...

1:27:34 > 1:27:36Mind your own business.

1:27:36 > 1:27:37..but always entertaining.

1:27:37 > 1:27:40Still to come, our look back at the Doctors has brought us

1:27:40 > 1:27:43- slap-bang into the modern era. - New teeth.

1:27:43 > 1:27:46And as we near the end of our journey across the Whoniverse,

1:27:46 > 1:27:48we're down to out last two Doctors.

1:27:48 > 1:27:51And things begin to get a little darker.

1:27:59 > 1:28:00My favourite Doctor...

1:28:01 > 1:28:03..it has to be Mr Tennant.

1:28:03 > 1:28:05MUSIC: "Yeah Yeah" by Willy Moon

1:28:10 > 1:28:14The tenth Doctor came crashing down to Earth with a bang

1:28:14 > 1:28:16and a whole new appearance.

1:28:16 > 1:28:17Here we are then.

1:28:17 > 1:28:18It was awesome.

1:28:18 > 1:28:19It was amazing.

1:28:19 > 1:28:21He just came in and was like so different.

1:28:21 > 1:28:23Good different or bad different?

1:28:23 > 1:28:25He's a lot more manic.

1:28:25 > 1:28:26Barcelona.

1:28:26 > 1:28:27Even in the serious moments.

1:28:27 > 1:28:29Ba-da boom!

1:28:29 > 1:28:32Someone who looks a certain way and wears soft shoes

1:28:32 > 1:28:33and a tight suit

1:28:33 > 1:28:35and larks around a bit.

1:28:35 > 1:28:37Exuberant.

1:28:37 > 1:28:38Very quirky.

1:28:38 > 1:28:41Pulled a lot of sort of faces.

1:28:41 > 1:28:42New teeth. That's weird.

1:28:42 > 1:28:44New teeth.

1:28:44 > 1:28:46He was a very joyous, very happy Doctor.

1:28:46 > 1:28:47Very energetic Doctor.

1:28:47 > 1:28:50But you're also trying to undercut that with the fact that

1:28:50 > 1:28:51he's actually 900 years old.

1:28:51 > 1:28:53There's steel in there.

1:28:53 > 1:28:55I need you to shut up!

1:28:55 > 1:28:57Oh, he hasn't changed that much, has he?

1:28:57 > 1:28:59Despite his crash landing,

1:28:59 > 1:29:01the tenth Doctor took a while

1:29:01 > 1:29:04- to actually start doing the usual Doctory stuff.- Help us.

1:29:05 > 1:29:07Please, Doctor.

1:29:07 > 1:29:08Help us.

1:29:08 > 1:29:11I spent a lot of the Christmas Invasion asleep.

1:29:11 > 1:29:13We didn't even get to see what his Doctor was like

1:29:13 > 1:29:16until the critical moment came.

1:29:16 > 1:29:20But then I get to show off, I don't stop speaking for about five pages.

1:29:20 > 1:29:21Did you miss me?

1:29:21 > 1:29:24Yes, still in his PJs, he sprang into action

1:29:24 > 1:29:26and took on the evil leader of the Sycorax.

1:29:26 > 1:29:30I fight an alien on the wing of a spacecraft.

1:29:30 > 1:29:32Had my hand chopped off and save the day.

1:29:32 > 1:29:33You cut my hand off.

1:29:35 > 1:29:37It's an entrance worth waiting for.

1:29:39 > 1:29:40Witchcraft!

1:29:40 > 1:29:42Want to know the best bit?

1:29:42 > 1:29:43This new hand...

1:29:43 > 1:29:45is a fighting hand!

1:29:45 > 1:29:47The Doc then defeated his sharp-toothed opponent

1:29:47 > 1:29:50and offered him an ultimatum.

1:29:50 > 1:29:53I'll spare your life if you'll take this champion's command.

1:29:54 > 1:29:56Leave this planet.

1:29:56 > 1:29:58And never return.

1:29:58 > 1:30:00What do you say?

1:30:00 > 1:30:01Yes.

1:30:01 > 1:30:03Swear on the blood of your species!

1:30:06 > 1:30:07I swear.

1:30:08 > 1:30:10There we are then. Thanks for that.

1:30:10 > 1:30:11Cheers, big fella.

1:30:11 > 1:30:12Bravo!

1:30:12 > 1:30:15But as well know, you never turn your back on a Sycorax.

1:30:15 > 1:30:17Not bad for a man in his jim jams.

1:30:17 > 1:30:21And it became clear he wasn't going to be a Time Lord to mess with.

1:30:21 > 1:30:23No second chances.

1:30:23 > 1:30:25I'm that sort of a man.

1:30:25 > 1:30:28He may be apparently affable,

1:30:28 > 1:30:31but you shouldn't underestimate what lies beneath.

1:30:31 > 1:30:32Am I funny?

1:30:32 > 1:30:36When he wasn't being ruthless, the tenth Doctor liked a bit of a laugh.

1:30:36 > 1:30:39You are the best because you are so sick.

1:30:39 > 1:30:41Allons-y.

1:30:41 > 1:30:42Allons-y.

1:30:42 > 1:30:44Brilliant. Brilliant. Allons-y.

1:30:44 > 1:30:45Allons-y.

1:30:45 > 1:30:46It's French for let's go.

1:30:46 > 1:30:48David's a true fan.

1:30:48 > 1:30:50I'm brilliant.

1:30:50 > 1:30:51And it was genuine.

1:30:51 > 1:30:54His own personal joy just to be...

1:30:54 > 1:30:56You knew he loved being there.

1:30:56 > 1:30:57He wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.

1:30:57 > 1:30:59You're stone-cold brilliant.

1:30:59 > 1:31:02But the tenth Doctor's reign more than any previous Doctor

1:31:02 > 1:31:05was defined by his relationship with the ladies.

1:31:05 > 1:31:07He loves playing with Earth girls.

1:31:07 > 1:31:10This is...very unfairly levelled at the tenth Doctor,

1:31:10 > 1:31:13That he was chasing lots of women.

1:31:13 > 1:31:14He absolutely wasn't.

1:31:14 > 1:31:16We make quite a couple.

1:31:16 > 1:31:19Any kisses that he may have had in the series,

1:31:19 > 1:31:21none of them are romantic.

1:31:21 > 1:31:22Oh, yeah?

1:31:22 > 1:31:25Women may have fallen for him, but it didn't work the other way around.

1:31:25 > 1:31:27He was scrupulous.

1:31:27 > 1:31:28Hold on a minute.

1:31:28 > 1:31:32There was Lady Christina, Madame de Pompadour and uh...

1:31:32 > 1:31:33You must be Malcolm.

1:31:33 > 1:31:34Even Malcolm.

1:31:34 > 1:31:35Oh, I love you.

1:31:35 > 1:31:37He deserves a bit of love in his life.

1:31:37 > 1:31:38I love you.

1:31:38 > 1:31:41But most importantly there was Rose.

1:31:41 > 1:31:43The Doctor and Rose was a love story really

1:31:43 > 1:31:45without any sexual element.

1:31:45 > 1:31:48Because that would be wrong, they were...

1:31:48 > 1:31:51clearly devoted to each other.

1:31:51 > 1:31:54I always think the Doctors and their companions end up closer

1:31:54 > 1:31:56when they've seen him regenerate.

1:31:56 > 1:32:00It's almost like they know him in an intimate way.

1:32:00 > 1:32:05And Rose just got to him and they had a very unconventional love story

1:32:05 > 1:32:07certainly, but I think that's what it was.

1:32:09 > 1:32:14The whole story of David Tennant's Doctor with Rose was just

1:32:14 > 1:32:18so moving and wasn't it like suddenly the Doctor just came out

1:32:18 > 1:32:21of nowhere, fell in love with his companion and they started snogging.

1:32:21 > 1:32:23It was really beautifully done.

1:32:23 > 1:32:27Like all good love stories, it ends in desperate tragedy.

1:32:27 > 1:32:30When Rose was thrust into a different universe,

1:32:30 > 1:32:32the Doctor makes the journey over,

1:32:32 > 1:32:35allowing Rose to say the words she'd long to say.

1:32:35 > 1:32:38They get to say the goodbye they were robbed of...

1:32:39 > 1:32:41..when they parted.

1:32:41 > 1:32:43So in the end there was a tearful farewell

1:32:43 > 1:32:46and the chance to express their feelings.

1:32:50 > 1:32:51I love you.

1:32:54 > 1:32:56Quite right too.

1:32:56 > 1:32:58Rose tells him that she loves him.

1:32:58 > 1:33:00But the Doctor doesn't quite manage to say it back.

1:33:00 > 1:33:02And I suppose...

1:33:04 > 1:33:06..it's my last chance to say it.

1:33:11 > 1:33:13Rose Tyler...

1:33:23 > 1:33:25After the heartache of the departure of Rose,

1:33:25 > 1:33:27it took the Doctor ages to find some...

1:33:27 > 1:33:28Fancy going out?

1:33:28 > 1:33:30- Oh, no, it didn't. - OK.

1:33:31 > 1:33:34Medical student Martha Jones was the next to fall for

1:33:34 > 1:33:35the Doctor's charms.

1:33:35 > 1:33:37And not before long she was finding

1:33:37 > 1:33:39the good looking Gallifreyan irresistible.

1:33:39 > 1:33:41And if you will wear a tight suit...

1:33:41 > 1:33:43Now, don't!

1:33:43 > 1:33:45..and then travel all the way across the universe

1:33:45 > 1:33:48- just to ask me on a date... - Stop it.

1:33:48 > 1:33:51But with a new girl there's one thing you never do...

1:33:51 > 1:33:53There's something I'm missing, Martha.

1:33:54 > 1:33:56Someone really close.

1:33:58 > 1:34:00Rose would know.

1:34:00 > 1:34:02..mention the ex.

1:34:02 > 1:34:06I felt a bit sorry for Martha cos she was so into him

1:34:06 > 1:34:08and he'd just bang on about Rose.

1:34:08 > 1:34:09My friend of mine,

1:34:09 > 1:34:12Rose, right now, she'd tell you exactly the right thing.

1:34:12 > 1:34:14Can't you see how she's in front of your eyes?

1:34:14 > 1:34:18With Martha we got to see in a way the fact that he couldn't understand

1:34:18 > 1:34:20what she was looking for, that sort of alienness.

1:34:20 > 1:34:22It didn't happen. Never mind.

1:34:22 > 1:34:24Yes, alas, although he had two hearts,

1:34:24 > 1:34:27there was no room in either of them for his new companion.

1:34:30 > 1:34:31But things were complicated

1:34:31 > 1:34:34and Doctor yearned for something more simple...

1:34:34 > 1:34:35I just want a mate.

1:34:35 > 1:34:37..a friend without benefits.

1:34:37 > 1:34:39You just want to mate?

1:34:39 > 1:34:41I just want a mate!

1:34:41 > 1:34:43You're not mating with me, sunshine.

1:34:43 > 1:34:46A MATE! I want a mate!

1:34:46 > 1:34:50Well, just as well because I'm not having any of that nonsense.

1:34:50 > 1:34:52With Donna, who just was his kind of mate

1:34:52 > 1:34:56and they rolled about the universe together having a laugh.

1:34:56 > 1:35:00And that was so clever because it was completely different

1:35:00 > 1:35:03kind of companion you got with the character of Donna.

1:35:06 > 1:35:10Yes, Donna Noble abandoned her nuptials for a life in the TARDIS.

1:35:10 > 1:35:13And it was clear from the start that this was one girl

1:35:13 > 1:35:15who wouldn't be giving the Doctor an easy ride.

1:35:15 > 1:35:17Why are you dressed like that for?

1:35:17 > 1:35:18I'm going ten pin bowling.

1:35:18 > 1:35:21Why do you think, dumbo?!

1:35:24 > 1:35:27Before long the self-proclaimed best temp in Chiswick

1:35:27 > 1:35:31found herself battling giant insects and even brained the odd Sontaran.

1:35:31 > 1:35:33Back of the neck.

1:35:33 > 1:35:35That button there.

1:35:35 > 1:35:39But in her finest hour she defeated Davros and saved the universe.

1:35:39 > 1:35:42Bio electric dampening field with a retrogressive arc inversion.

1:35:42 > 1:35:44Exterminate her!

1:35:44 > 1:35:45Oh, yes.

1:35:45 > 1:35:47That was a two-way biological Meta-Crisis.

1:35:49 > 1:35:51Half Doctor.

1:35:51 > 1:35:52Half Donna.

1:35:52 > 1:35:53Doctor Donna.

1:35:53 > 1:35:57For Donna to turn into Doctor Donna right at the end

1:35:57 > 1:36:00and her have the whole explosion of her brain,

1:36:00 > 1:36:03she suddenly sees the universe as the Doctor sees it and it is great.

1:36:03 > 1:36:06- Ha!- Someone going to tell us what's going on?

1:36:06 > 1:36:08He poured all his regeneration energy into his spare hand.

1:36:08 > 1:36:10I touched the hand.

1:36:10 > 1:36:12He grew out of that, but that fed back into me.

1:36:12 > 1:36:15But it just lay dormant in my head till the synapses got that

1:36:15 > 1:36:17little extra spark kicking them into life.

1:36:17 > 1:36:19A Time Lord's brain isn't for mere mortals however,

1:36:19 > 1:36:21and Donna began to malfunction.

1:36:21 > 1:36:23Shall we go and see Charlie Chaplin? Shall we?

1:36:23 > 1:36:25Charlie Chester. Charlie Brown.

1:36:25 > 1:36:28No, he's fiction. Friction. Fiction. Fixing. Mixing. Rixton. Brixton.

1:36:28 > 1:36:30The Doctor realised that it was

1:36:30 > 1:36:33the end of the road for this relationship.

1:36:33 > 1:36:38Donna's farewell, I felt was more upsetting, it was more devastating.

1:36:38 > 1:36:41Oh, Donna, I am so sorry.

1:36:41 > 1:36:43The fact that she's gone on this journey

1:36:43 > 1:36:45and she's seen so many things.

1:36:45 > 1:36:47But we had the best of times.

1:36:47 > 1:36:49She's grown as a person.

1:36:49 > 1:36:51- Goodbye. - No. No!

1:36:51 > 1:36:54And so the Doctor was forced to wipe Donna's memory.

1:37:03 > 1:37:04I'm just going.

1:37:04 > 1:37:05Yeah, see ya.

1:37:05 > 1:37:09And Doctor Donna became plain old Donna from Chiswick again.

1:37:09 > 1:37:12But he had plenty of other stuff to keep himself occupied.

1:37:13 > 1:37:17During his time-travels, he fought old foes, the Cybermen.

1:37:17 > 1:37:18Davros and the Daleks.

1:37:18 > 1:37:20Tangled with Professor Lazarus.

1:37:20 > 1:37:23Battled some mouth-watering Martians.

1:37:23 > 1:37:24And there was an encounter with

1:37:24 > 1:37:28the Weeping Angels you simply couldn't take your eyes off.

1:37:28 > 1:37:32In one episode he even joined forces with legendary former companion

1:37:32 > 1:37:35Sarah Jane Smith and K-9.

1:37:35 > 1:37:37But in the history of Doctor's downfalls,

1:37:37 > 1:37:41the story of the demise of the tenth is a hard one to beat.

1:37:45 > 1:37:47It stretches back to a prophecy foretold

1:37:47 > 1:37:49by those handsome chaps the Ood.

1:37:49 > 1:37:51I think your song must end soon.

1:37:51 > 1:37:53Meaning?

1:37:53 > 1:37:54Every song must end.

1:37:56 > 1:37:57Yeah.

1:37:57 > 1:37:59Your song is ending, sir.

1:37:59 > 1:38:03The next bearer of bad news was a psychic that

1:38:03 > 1:38:05- the Doctor met on a bus. - He will knock four times.

1:38:07 > 1:38:10So by the time he next caught up with Donna's grandfather Wilf,

1:38:10 > 1:38:13the Doctor was feeling pretty grim about his future.

1:38:13 > 1:38:15I'm going to die.

1:38:15 > 1:38:17He will knock four times.

1:38:18 > 1:38:19That was the prophecy.

1:38:19 > 1:38:22It appeared that the four knocks were

1:38:22 > 1:38:25the handiwork of his fellow Time Lords on Gallifrey.

1:38:26 > 1:38:29The heartbeat of a Time Lord.

1:38:29 > 1:38:32The Time Lords retrospectively placed this beat in the Master's head

1:38:32 > 1:38:37and they used that as a beacon to pull themselves out of the Time War.

1:38:37 > 1:38:38You sticking with this?

1:38:38 > 1:38:43Never ever stop, so the drumming, Doctor, the constant drumming...

1:38:45 > 1:38:49And after a ferocious battle with the Time Lords and the Master,

1:38:49 > 1:38:51the Doctor was the last man standing.

1:38:51 > 1:38:52I'm still alive.

1:38:52 > 1:38:56Turns out that the four knocks are Wilf

1:38:56 > 1:38:58asking to be let out of a radiation box.

1:39:01 > 1:39:04Something much more mundane but of course for the Doctor,

1:39:04 > 1:39:06much more tragic.

1:39:06 > 1:39:08I can do so much more.

1:39:10 > 1:39:12So much more!

1:39:13 > 1:39:16David Tennant's exit was a classic Doctor Who exit,

1:39:16 > 1:39:17he sacrificed himself.

1:39:17 > 1:39:21But then who wouldn't sacrifice themselves to save Bernard Cribbins?

1:39:21 > 1:39:22It's my honour...

1:39:22 > 1:39:25I think that is the epitome of the Doctor to do that.

1:39:25 > 1:39:27Better be quick.

1:39:27 > 1:39:29Three, two, one.

1:39:34 > 1:39:36But before the tenth Doctor could regenerate,

1:39:36 > 1:39:38he had a few goodbyes to say.

1:39:38 > 1:39:41Somehow he's managed to extend his dying moments

1:39:41 > 1:39:43to give himself a quick tour of the galaxy.

1:39:43 > 1:39:45We see him seeing Donna again.

1:39:45 > 1:39:49We see him seeing Martha and Mickey and Captain Jack.

1:39:49 > 1:39:50Sarah Jane.

1:39:51 > 1:39:53All the people that have been important to him

1:39:53 > 1:39:55in this era of his life.

1:39:56 > 1:40:00And finishing with Rose, who of course had meant to much to him.

1:40:00 > 1:40:01- You all right, mate? - Yeah.

1:40:03 > 1:40:04Too much to drink?

1:40:04 > 1:40:06Yeah, talks to her on the...

1:40:07 > 1:40:10..on New Year's Eve, 2004 into 2005.

1:40:10 > 1:40:13Which of course is the year she's going to meet the Doctor

1:40:13 > 1:40:15and everything's going to change.

1:40:15 > 1:40:17I bet you're going to have a really great year.

1:40:18 > 1:40:19Yeah?

1:40:21 > 1:40:24And so the tenth Doctor's time was up.

1:40:24 > 1:40:29David, I think, it was the first time you saw his two hearts.

1:40:29 > 1:40:31It's the battle between the good side and bad side,

1:40:31 > 1:40:35but I think that's the internal battle of the Doctor.

1:40:35 > 1:40:41He quite outrageously sort of made this sexy, cool, cheeky Doctor,

1:40:41 > 1:40:44almost the ladies' man and he was properly cool.

1:40:44 > 1:40:46Female population of the world...

1:40:46 > 1:40:48"Oh, Doctor Who."

1:40:48 > 1:40:52It shone and what's more it inspired everybody else.

1:40:52 > 1:40:55And that was such a radical departure for the old Time Lord.

1:41:08 > 1:41:11Ten regenerations, countless villains,

1:41:11 > 1:41:13adventures and companions later,

1:41:13 > 1:41:16yes, it's time to meet the present owner of the TARDIS.

1:41:18 > 1:41:20It's the 11th Doctor.

1:41:20 > 1:41:22Hello.

1:41:22 > 1:41:24My favourite Doctor is Matt Smith.

1:41:24 > 1:41:26When I heard that they were going to get a

1:41:26 > 1:41:2812-year-old to play Doctor Who,

1:41:28 > 1:41:30I was like, "No, you can't go for young!"

1:41:30 > 1:41:33But then when Matt came along...he was terrific.

1:41:33 > 1:41:35Things. Hello. What kind of things?

1:41:35 > 1:41:37Interesting things. I love things. Ask anyone.

1:41:37 > 1:41:40I love that energy. It's youthful of course.

1:41:40 > 1:41:44He's like a boffin and an action hero at the same time.

1:41:44 > 1:41:46I think he captures the character perfectly.

1:41:46 > 1:41:48You only live once.

1:41:48 > 1:41:50I think he was just born to play that role.

1:41:50 > 1:41:53So what's the 11th Doctor actually like then?

1:41:53 > 1:41:54Spontaneous, I would say.

1:41:58 > 1:42:01I'd say he's one of the sillier versions of the character.

1:42:01 > 1:42:03Christmas Eve on a rooftop, saw a chimney,

1:42:03 > 1:42:06my whole brain just went, "What the hell?"

1:42:06 > 1:42:09I love the sheer brilliance of his physical comedy.

1:42:10 > 1:42:14Reminds me of a silent screen comedian.

1:42:16 > 1:42:17I love how he does this...

1:42:18 > 1:42:20He definitely played up the alien aspect.

1:42:20 > 1:42:23Time isn't a straight line, it's all bumpy-wumpy.

1:42:23 > 1:42:26There's loads of boring stuff like Sundays and Tuesdays

1:42:26 > 1:42:28and Thursday afternoons.

1:42:28 > 1:42:31He's just so...not of Earth.

1:42:32 > 1:42:34The 11th Doctor has also become known

1:42:34 > 1:42:37for having an interesting sense of fashion.

1:42:37 > 1:42:38Bow ties are cool.

1:42:38 > 1:42:39Bow ties are cool.

1:42:39 > 1:42:40Yeah?

1:42:40 > 1:42:41- Nice bow tie.- Thanks.

1:42:41 > 1:42:43Bow ties are cool.

1:42:43 > 1:42:46He is somewhere on the bow tie axis

1:42:46 > 1:42:48between Indiana Jones and Stan Laurel.

1:42:48 > 1:42:51- You look a bit like Matt Smith. - I think that's why I like him,

1:42:51 > 1:42:53I think, "Ooh, I could be this Doctor."

1:42:53 > 1:42:54Glasses are cool, see.

1:42:54 > 1:42:56Matt Smith and his quiff.

1:42:56 > 1:42:57Yeah, he's got a bit of a quiff.

1:42:57 > 1:42:59It's a wicked fashion sense.

1:42:59 > 1:43:01Fez, I wear a fez now.

1:43:01 > 1:43:02Fezzes are cool.

1:43:02 > 1:43:03Fezzes are cool.

1:43:08 > 1:43:09I can buy a fez.

1:43:09 > 1:43:13The Doctor who genuinely believes he's cool and is utterly wrong.

1:43:13 > 1:43:15Who da man?

1:43:19 > 1:43:21Oh... So, never saying that again. Fine.

1:43:24 > 1:43:27The 11th Doctor has faced a fraught time in the TARDIS,

1:43:27 > 1:43:33and has been taken to darker places than any previous Doctor before him.

1:43:33 > 1:43:35Argh!

1:43:35 > 1:43:38But with his time in the TARDIS shortly to come to an end,

1:43:38 > 1:43:41where did it all start?

1:43:41 > 1:43:44Well, it all began with a little girl called Amy Pond.

1:43:44 > 1:43:47The Doctor literally crashed into Amy's life.

1:43:47 > 1:43:50I mean, he was in a spaceship that fell out of the sky and crashed

1:43:50 > 1:43:54into her back garden when she was a little girl, only seven years old.

1:43:54 > 1:43:56For any seven-year-old,

1:43:56 > 1:43:58that's going to be the best thing that's ever happened.

1:43:58 > 1:43:59I'm the Doctor.

1:43:59 > 1:44:02Do everything I tell you, don't ask stupid questions,

1:44:02 > 1:44:03and don't wander off.

1:44:03 > 1:44:07The Doctor has just regenerated, which always leaves him a bit mad,

1:44:07 > 1:44:08a bit manic.

1:44:11 > 1:44:13They had a really lovely time together,

1:44:13 > 1:44:15and they ate fish fingers and custard at the same time.

1:44:15 > 1:44:17I need...fish fingers...

1:44:17 > 1:44:18and custard.

1:44:18 > 1:44:22Fish fingers and custard actually does sound like a nice meal.

1:44:22 > 1:44:24I'd eat that.

1:44:24 > 1:44:27But no sooner had he turned up, the Doctor was gone again,

1:44:27 > 1:44:32leaving Amy wondering where her raggedy man had disappeared to.

1:44:32 > 1:44:34And then he went away for five minutes and came back,

1:44:34 > 1:44:37like 14, 15 years later.

1:44:41 > 1:44:44Which is going to have an effect on a person and how they turn out.

1:44:44 > 1:44:46- You're a police woman? - I'm a kissagram.

1:44:49 > 1:44:52- You're Amelia.- You're late. - Amelia Pond, you're the little girl?

1:44:52 > 1:44:54I'm Amelia and you're late.

1:44:54 > 1:44:56With our hero back on Earth...

1:44:56 > 1:44:59Amy and the Doctor didn't waste any time,

1:44:59 > 1:45:01and got straight to the business of fighting aliens.

1:45:02 > 1:45:05And in his first extraterrestrial encounter,

1:45:05 > 1:45:09the 11th Doctor showed us that he's not a Time Lord to be trifled with.

1:45:10 > 1:45:14The Doctor's competition with the Atraxi is sort of the moment

1:45:14 > 1:45:16where he's finally got his mojo back.

1:45:16 > 1:45:18I'm the Doctor.

1:45:18 > 1:45:21'And that's when he's properly arrived.'

1:45:21 > 1:45:22Run.

1:45:25 > 1:45:29So, once he's scared off the aliens and got the key to his TARDIS,

1:45:29 > 1:45:31there was only one thing left to do.

1:45:33 > 1:45:35Get himself a companion.

1:45:35 > 1:45:38And Amy seemed to fit the bill.

1:45:39 > 1:45:41Amy was a kick-ass companion.

1:45:41 > 1:45:44I mean, I hope - is it bad to say that myself?

1:45:44 > 1:45:49She certainly was. She had to fiercely do battle with vampires...

1:45:49 > 1:45:50Weeping Angels...

1:45:50 > 1:45:52and, of course, the Daleks.

1:45:52 > 1:45:55My friend reckons you're dangerous. Is it true?

1:45:55 > 1:45:57I wouldn't say she was totally fearless,

1:45:57 > 1:46:00but she certainly dealt with her fears really well.

1:46:00 > 1:46:02Yes, this was one fiery redhead

1:46:02 > 1:46:05who certainly knew the meaning of swashbuckling.

1:46:05 > 1:46:06Amy, what are you doing?

1:46:06 > 1:46:08Saving your life. OK with that, are you?

1:46:08 > 1:46:10Put down the sword, a sword could kill us all, girl.

1:46:10 > 1:46:15Yeah, thanks, that's actually why I'm pointing it at you.

1:46:15 > 1:46:19But through Amy's adventures we discover an ugly side to the Doctor,

1:46:19 > 1:46:23when he leaves an older version of Amy behind to save her younger self.

1:46:23 > 1:46:26So, he's very silly and funny, but at the same time,

1:46:26 > 1:46:28there's a sort of dark side.

1:46:28 > 1:46:29I trusted you!

1:46:31 > 1:46:35We learn more about the character, and learn more about the dark side.

1:46:35 > 1:46:38Nobody talk to me. Nobody human has anything to say to me today!

1:46:42 > 1:46:45I mean, if you've been round the block as much as the Doctor has,

1:46:45 > 1:46:47and you've encountered as much evil as he has,

1:46:47 > 1:46:48it may have rubbed off on you.

1:46:49 > 1:46:52Then, in The Pandorica Opens,

1:46:52 > 1:46:55a legion of his enemies conspire to lock him away for eternity.

1:46:55 > 1:46:57The Pandorica.

1:46:57 > 1:46:59More than just a fairy tale.

1:46:59 > 1:47:03The Pandorica is the greatest prison in all of the universe,

1:47:03 > 1:47:07and it was actually created especially to put the Doctor in.

1:47:07 > 1:47:10In The Pandorica Opens, as it works out, all the Doctor's enemies

1:47:10 > 1:47:13have got together and realised that the end of the universe is coming,

1:47:13 > 1:47:15and it's going to be caused by the Doctor.

1:47:15 > 1:47:18We will save the universe...from you!

1:47:18 > 1:47:20Seal the Pandorica.

1:47:20 > 1:47:22No!

1:47:22 > 1:47:23Please, listen to me!

1:47:23 > 1:47:26Listen to me!

1:47:26 > 1:47:28But then, the Doctor being the Doctor,

1:47:28 > 1:47:31manages to get himself out of the situation

1:47:31 > 1:47:34and ends up putting Amy in as a form of protection.

1:47:34 > 1:47:36Little young Amy, played by my cousin, Caitlin,

1:47:36 > 1:47:41manages to open the Pandorica, and then finds her older self inside.

1:47:41 > 1:47:43And it was a cool moment.

1:47:43 > 1:47:46OK, kid. This is where it gets complicated.

1:47:48 > 1:47:50Speaking of complicated,

1:47:50 > 1:47:54the other important figure in the 11th Doctor's story was River Song.

1:47:54 > 1:47:55Who's River Song?

1:47:57 > 1:47:59She's a time-traveller...

1:47:59 > 1:48:02who kicks arse.

1:48:02 > 1:48:03Tip for you all...

1:48:04 > 1:48:07..never shoot a girl while she's regenerating.

1:48:10 > 1:48:12When the Doctor first meets River Song,

1:48:12 > 1:48:13she's someone from his future.

1:48:13 > 1:48:15- What is it, though?- Her diary.

1:48:15 > 1:48:19- Our diary.- Her past, my...future.

1:48:19 > 1:48:21She's extremely flirtatious with him.

1:48:21 > 1:48:22She knows his name.

1:48:23 > 1:48:27And she behaves like she owns him, and it's very hard to resist the

1:48:27 > 1:48:30impression that what you're meeting is, at some level,

1:48:30 > 1:48:31the Doctor's wife.

1:48:31 > 1:48:32You may kiss the bride.

1:48:33 > 1:48:35I'll make it a good one.

1:48:35 > 1:48:38But not only was she the time-traveller's wife,

1:48:38 > 1:48:40she had another bombshell to drop.

1:48:40 > 1:48:43Rory and Amy are her parents.

1:48:43 > 1:48:44I'm your daughter.

1:48:49 > 1:48:51And when the Doctor found her grave,

1:48:51 > 1:48:54he still found time for a smooch with River's ghost.

1:48:56 > 1:48:59I guess that's a timey-wimey relationship for you.

1:49:08 > 1:49:11Since nobody else can see you, God knows how that looked.

1:49:13 > 1:49:16So, the 11th Doctor certainly loved his wife.

1:49:16 > 1:49:18But he also had a vengeful side.

1:49:18 > 1:49:20Give 'em hell, Danny boy.

1:49:24 > 1:49:27I want people to call you Colonel Runaway.

1:49:27 > 1:49:29I want children laughing outside your door,

1:49:29 > 1:49:31cos they've found the house of Colonel Runaway.

1:49:31 > 1:49:35And when people come to you and ask if trying to get to me

1:49:35 > 1:49:37through the people I love...

1:49:37 > 1:49:40He's a man of immense power if he chooses to use it.

1:49:40 > 1:49:42Look, I'm angry, that's new.

1:49:43 > 1:49:46I'm really not sure what's going to happen, now.

1:49:46 > 1:49:48And there are times when his great rage

1:49:48 > 1:49:51and his impatience can overtake him.

1:49:51 > 1:49:52Take it!

1:49:52 > 1:49:55Take it all, baby!

1:49:55 > 1:49:56Have it!

1:49:56 > 1:49:58You have it all!

1:49:58 > 1:49:59River always says,

1:49:59 > 1:50:02"You can't be on your own, you need someone to limit you."

1:50:02 > 1:50:04You make them so afraid.

1:50:04 > 1:50:06When you began, all those years ago,

1:50:06 > 1:50:10sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you'd become this?

1:50:10 > 1:50:13Realising that there were a lot of people out to get him,

1:50:13 > 1:50:15he conjured up a plan...

1:50:15 > 1:50:17to fake his own death.

1:50:17 > 1:50:18Amy! Stay back!

1:50:18 > 1:50:21A master of escapology he may have been,

1:50:21 > 1:50:24but one of the things he wasn't so good at was being on his own,

1:50:24 > 1:50:28as we found out when his companions' journey came to an end.

1:50:28 > 1:50:32Amy and Rory had the saddest farewell from the Doctor.

1:50:32 > 1:50:36The Doctor, Amy and Rory have a huge battle with the Weeping Angels

1:50:36 > 1:50:40in New York, and then when they think that it's all done,

1:50:40 > 1:50:43at the last moment, a Weeping Angel gets Rory.

1:50:43 > 1:50:46# I hear the angels talking talking, talking... #

1:50:47 > 1:50:49Doctor?!

1:50:49 > 1:50:54Amy is left with a choice, she can essentially commit suicide

1:50:54 > 1:50:58or have herself zapped back in time to be with her husband.

1:50:58 > 1:51:02Just come back into the TARDIS.

1:51:02 > 1:51:05Or she could stay with the Doctor, and she chooses Rory, her husband,

1:51:05 > 1:51:07and sacrifices herself to a Weeping Angel.

1:51:09 > 1:51:11Goodbye.

1:51:14 > 1:51:17In a moment, in a heartbeat, they're dead and gone,

1:51:17 > 1:51:21then it's just utterly wretched for him again.

1:51:21 > 1:51:24He knows, because he's such a long-lived time-traveller,

1:51:24 > 1:51:26that all friendship is deferred bereavement,

1:51:26 > 1:51:31as far as he's concerned. It's going to happen, he's going to lose them.

1:51:31 > 1:51:34He moves and moves and moves, cos if he stopped, it would...

1:51:34 > 1:51:38He would be very, very upset about all the things that he's...

1:51:38 > 1:51:42All the people he's lost along the way.

1:51:42 > 1:51:43The Doctor shouldn't be alone.

1:51:43 > 1:51:45The Doctor can't be alone.

1:51:45 > 1:51:46And he wasn't alone for long

1:51:46 > 1:51:49before he had a new travelling companion.

1:51:49 > 1:51:50Clara.

1:51:50 > 1:51:52Doctor Who?

1:51:53 > 1:51:57The Doctor first met Clara after she'd been turned into a Dalek,

1:51:57 > 1:51:58but she died.

1:51:58 > 1:52:01Then, as a Victorian nanny, again, she died.

1:52:01 > 1:52:04She died, both times. The same woman!

1:52:04 > 1:52:05So, by the third time,

1:52:05 > 1:52:08the Doctor was desperate not to make it a hat-trick.

1:52:08 > 1:52:11When he meets her again and gets a third chance to save her,

1:52:11 > 1:52:14he knows there's a mystery to solve here.

1:52:14 > 1:52:17How can he have met the same person three times?

1:52:17 > 1:52:19Right then, Clara Oswald.

1:52:19 > 1:52:22Time to find out who you are.

1:52:23 > 1:52:25Clara is, on the surface, very, very sweet.

1:52:25 > 1:52:27Doctor...

1:52:27 > 1:52:28Bit of a control freak.

1:52:28 > 1:52:29You're the boss.

1:52:29 > 1:52:31Am I?

1:52:31 > 1:52:32No. No!

1:52:32 > 1:52:34And when she confronts the 11th Doctor,

1:52:34 > 1:52:37she finds someone she can manipulate quite easily.

1:52:37 > 1:52:38We don't walk away.

1:52:38 > 1:52:40She doesn't want to be on the Doctor's arm

1:52:40 > 1:52:43and just running around the universe with him being a sidekick.

1:52:43 > 1:52:46I would like to see... What I would like to see is...

1:52:50 > 1:52:51..something awesome.

1:52:51 > 1:52:55But their Doctor-companion relationship developed,

1:52:55 > 1:52:56and it was with Clara

1:52:56 > 1:53:00that the Doctor found himself facing his ultimate fate.

1:53:00 > 1:53:04His friends are lost for evermore unless he goes to Trenzalore.

1:53:06 > 1:53:07It's his grave,

1:53:07 > 1:53:10the one place he must never go in the universe is his own grave.

1:53:10 > 1:53:13Welcome to the tomb of the Doctor.

1:53:17 > 1:53:19Genuinely freaked and frightened by it.

1:53:19 > 1:53:22This a man who travels into the past and the future all the time,

1:53:22 > 1:53:23but on this occasion,

1:53:23 > 1:53:26he's travelling into the furthest recess of his own future.

1:53:26 > 1:53:29It turns out that that clever-clogs, the Great Intelligence,

1:53:29 > 1:53:31was planning to wipe the Doctor from history,

1:53:31 > 1:53:34by jumping into his timeline.

1:53:34 > 1:53:36But Clara had other ideas.

1:53:36 > 1:53:39When she sees the Doctor's timeline and realises the only way

1:53:39 > 1:53:42to save the Doctor is to go into the timeline and repair it...

1:53:42 > 1:53:43Clara...

1:53:45 > 1:53:47I don't know where I am.

1:53:47 > 1:53:48Clara!

1:53:48 > 1:53:49I just know I'm running.

1:53:49 > 1:53:52I love the bit where Clara jumped into the timeline,

1:53:52 > 1:53:56because she's another feisty, brave young character, you know?

1:53:56 > 1:53:58I love her, she's brilliant.

1:53:58 > 1:54:02And it's here we start to realise just how important Clara is.

1:54:02 > 1:54:05This is the point at which she will shatter into many different

1:54:05 > 1:54:07versions of herself and become the girl that keeps saving him

1:54:07 > 1:54:10throughout his life, helping him choose the TARDIS,

1:54:10 > 1:54:12helping him survive at every point.

1:54:12 > 1:54:16Always I'm running to save the Doctor, again and again and again.

1:54:16 > 1:54:18And, hidden in his timeline,

1:54:18 > 1:54:22Clara finds the Doctor's deepest, darkest secret.

1:54:22 > 1:54:24He has to keep something back.

1:54:24 > 1:54:27We've always thought we've seen every moment of his life,

1:54:27 > 1:54:29seen every face that he's had.

1:54:29 > 1:54:32There's a place that...even his closest companions can't go there.

1:54:32 > 1:54:34But at the end of The Name Of The Doctor,

1:54:34 > 1:54:38we realise there's one more Doctor he simply doesn't talk about,

1:54:38 > 1:54:41who somehow doesn't even count as the Doctor,

1:54:41 > 1:54:44and that version of himself is played by John Hurt.

1:54:44 > 1:54:46And, in The Day Of The Doctor,

1:54:46 > 1:54:50we're going to find out exactly what it all means.

1:54:52 > 1:54:56So, we've come to the end of our journey across 50 years

1:54:56 > 1:54:57of Doctor Who.

1:54:57 > 1:55:01And we've seen the many faces of our time-travelling hero.

1:55:01 > 1:55:03From the action man to the joker.

1:55:03 > 1:55:04Am I funny?

1:55:04 > 1:55:06From the boffin to the dandy.

1:55:06 > 1:55:08From the lothario to the tough guy.

1:55:08 > 1:55:09I am a Time Lord.

1:55:09 > 1:55:10We've got to know this complex

1:55:10 > 1:55:13and unique hero of science fiction a little better.

1:55:18 > 1:55:19Would you care for a jelly baby?

1:55:22 > 1:55:24Don't I know you?

1:55:24 > 1:55:26Come on then!

1:55:28 > 1:55:30Absolutely fantastic.

1:55:32 > 1:55:34That's absolutely splendid.

1:55:34 > 1:55:35Wait a minute...

1:55:39 > 1:55:41You did this!

1:55:43 > 1:55:45Gotcha.

1:55:45 > 1:55:48And whatever the future holds for our beloved Doctor,

1:55:48 > 1:55:50we can only hope it's going to be as mesmerising

1:55:50 > 1:55:54and full of wonderment as the last 50 years.

1:55:54 > 1:55:56I'll just be off, then.

1:56:04 > 1:56:05I remember now.

1:56:07 > 1:56:08I remember everything.

1:56:10 > 1:56:12It's like seeing it all for the first time.

1:56:12 > 1:56:13Seeing me, me...

1:56:16 > 1:56:18The Doctor.

1:56:18 > 1:56:2111 faces, hundreds, thousands of years of space and time.

1:56:23 > 1:56:26And now it's all back in there again.

1:56:26 > 1:56:28Ready for our proper holiday?

1:56:28 > 1:56:30I don't know if I deserve a holiday -

1:56:30 > 1:56:32you know, I don't know if I deserve anything.

1:56:32 > 1:56:34Not knowing was good.

1:56:34 > 1:56:35It was a relief.

1:56:37 > 1:56:39So much death, so many...

1:56:40 > 1:56:41..friends I've lost.

1:56:43 > 1:56:44I mean, how do I carry on?

1:56:46 > 1:56:48Because...

1:56:48 > 1:56:50Because you've saved billions of lives,

1:56:50 > 1:56:52and every time you go to a place and there's something wrong,

1:56:52 > 1:56:55you could turn and run, but you don't.

1:56:55 > 1:56:57You never do.

1:56:57 > 1:56:58You stay. You help.

1:56:59 > 1:57:02Wouldn't ANYONE stay and help?

1:57:02 > 1:57:04No! And because you don't know that,

1:57:04 > 1:57:06and because you'll never understand it,

1:57:06 > 1:57:09- that, my friend, is what makes you the Doctor.- Ooh.

1:57:09 > 1:57:11And that's why you'll never stop.

1:57:12 > 1:57:15- You've made me feel better. - You make everything better.

1:57:15 > 1:57:16Now, listen. Don't get soppy,

1:57:16 > 1:57:19I will not have soppiness in the TARDIS, young lady.

1:57:19 > 1:57:20Right! OK...

1:57:20 > 1:57:23Let's go on holiday, shall we?

1:57:23 > 1:57:25- Hold tight.- Woo!
