0:00:36 > 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?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50OK, you're worrying me now. Stop worrying me.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Doctor?- Who am I? Where am I? And who are you?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00You've actually done it, haven't you?
0:01:00 > 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 > 0:01:15(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 > 0:01:29- Well, that's a good start!- You call yourself the Doctor.- Oh, I like it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Doctor Who. Ha! Yes! Nobody knows! That's the thing!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Wait a second.- OK. Be cool...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- You showed me this once. - Right.- It might help.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49All your life, everything you've ever done, all written in here.
0:01:51 > 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 > 0:02:04So, Doctor...who are you?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Welcome to Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14where we celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16After nearly 800 episodes,
0:02:16 > 0:02:1911 incarnations and thousands of adventures,
0:02:19 > 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 > 0:02:32..charting the history of the time-travelling Doctor
0:02:32 > 0:02:34and his many faces.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I have to face my fear. - From companions...
0:02:37 > 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 > 0:02:58Come 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 > 0:03:26on the inside than the out, that can go anywhere in time and space.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'm definitely a madman with a box.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30It's called the TARDIS, this thing.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's simply about his adventures.
0:03:35 > 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 > 0:04:00Redemption is possible.
0:04:00 > 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 > 0:04:10It's a cultural phenomenon. It's a tradition.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13And it is going to be...
0:04:14 > 0:04:15..fantastic.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I grew up with Doctor Who being kind of passed down...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22From generations and generations.
0:04:22 > 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.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46There is a wish fulfilment.
0:04:47 > 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 > 0:05:06..there's baddies...
0:05:06 > 0:05:10assistants...and there's, like, a dog that's electric.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm into that.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15K-9!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17There's a lot more sci-fi geeks in the world than people think.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Good.- I can't imagine UK television without Doctor Who.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I mean, it would just be weird. It would be like a big void.
0:05:24 > 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 > 0:05:33When 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 > 0:06:17Doctor...John Smith, isn't it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19He looks quite like me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'm the Doctor! I'm a Time Lord.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Yes, about 450 years old.
0:06:24 > 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 > 0:06:40He's a Time Lord.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- He was president of the Time Lords at one point.- He's a time-traveller.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46He stole the TARDIS.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49He looks human, but he has two hearts.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- I say, I don't think that can be right.- The more hearts, the better.
0:06:51 > 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 > 0:07:19- He's a vegetarian. - The steak looks nice.
0:07:19 > 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 > 0:07:27In the nicest possible way, he's a weirdo.
0:07:27 > 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 > 0:07:37He doesn't go around looking for problems to solve,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41but he is massively compassionate and massively empathetic
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and has a tremendous sense of justice and goodness.
0:07:45 > 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 > 0:08:03but they also know that there are consequences sometimes
0:08:03 > 0:08:07to someone taking such a big role in the universe.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10That there can be downsides.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Really tragic events happen.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Look after our baby.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17'Why 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 > 0:08:39Because he rarely, if ever, talks about it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm not sure exactly where he's come from.
0:08:41 > 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 > 0:08:55to 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.
0:09:24 > 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 > 0:09:34in the 50th anniversary special, The Day Of The Doctor.
0:09:34 > 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 > 0:09:57THEY MIMIC "METALLIC THRUMMING"
0:09:57 > 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 > 0:10:05With a genius inside it.
0:10:05 > 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 > 0:10:20You 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 > 0:10:32I should like to see this TARDIS.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- The what?!- The TARDIS.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37That's not even a proper word!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39But what does TARDIS actually mean?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41T-A-R-D-I-S.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Time.- And.- Relative.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Dimension.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Time And Relative Dimension In Space.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52For newcomers to the TARDIS, there's one feature
0:10:52 > 0:10:54that never ceases to amaze and confuse.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Bigger on the inside. - It's bigger on the inside.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The TARDIS is a sort of Narnia wardrobe.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- The inside is bigger than the outside?- Yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It is bigger on the inside than on the out. That's amazing.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06That's poetry.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It is very small outside, it's just in here it's big.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, come off it!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Goodbye.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Thinking about how it works could drive you bonkers.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16It's a lot to take in, isn't it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Tiny box, huge room inside. Let me explain.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- It's another dimension? - Is basically another dimension. What?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24But impossible as it sounds,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26the mystery was actually explained years ago by fourth Doctor
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Tom Baker.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Which box is larger?- That one.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33There's a scene where the Doctor tries to explain to Leela
0:11:33 > 0:11:35how the TARDIS works, and he says,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38"Basically, part of it is further away,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40"which means it's in the distance."
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Now which is larger?- That one! - But it looks smaller.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- That's because it's further away. - Exactly.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48It's to do with perspective.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52If you could keep that exactly that distance away and have it here,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55the large one would fit inside the small one.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57That's basically it, they've found a way
0:11:57 > 0:11:58of compressing the perspective.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Which- I- always found convincing! - That's silly.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03But I was about eight, so leave me alone.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It doesn't make any sense.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07That's transdimensional engineering.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Recently, the Doctor's relationship with the TARDIS
0:12:11 > 0:12:14has developed into something a little more intimate.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I've just had a new idea about kissing. Come here!
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The TARDIS is this kind of quite eccentric, flaky woman.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I just really love that idea.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28In the episode The Doctor's Wife, the Doctor comes face-to-face
0:12:28 > 0:12:30with Idris, a human embodiment of the TARDIS.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It's me!
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- I'm the TARDIS.- No, you're not! You're a bitey mad lady.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The TARDIS is up and downy stuff in a big blue box.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Yes, that's me.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I really liked it because you kind of got to see the Doctor's
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- relationship with the TARDIS in more of a romantic way.- In human terms.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Yeah, more human and, like, because Matt Smith is quite flirty.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56The first time you touched my console...
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I said you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever known.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01And then you stole me.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03And I stole you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06From then on, it's already in your mind that he has this
0:13:06 > 0:13:09kind of affection for the TARDIS.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's not just his vehicle,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13but it's a companion and a partner for him.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Sorry, do you have a name? - 700 years, finally, he asks!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- What do I call you? - I think you call me...sexy.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Only when we're alone.- We are alone.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Right...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Come on, sexy.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The TARDIS - Doctor Who, that's the first thing people think.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Doctor Who would be walking along a street and the blue box
0:13:37 > 0:13:38would be there and he'd beckon
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and you'd go running off to space and time.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43It is sheer magic.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44WOMAN SCREAMS
0:13:44 > 0:13:46CRASH
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I think the TARDIS is not just a vehicle,
0:13:49 > 0:13:50it's another character.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It's the spaceship! Everybody loves the spaceship in anything sci-fi.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58And the TARDIS is so cool because it feels like a character of its own.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05OK, so that's the TARDIS.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Now it's time to have a look at the first lucky man to land it on Earth.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17We are at...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19the very beginning!
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Meet the first Doctor, William Hartnell.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29In 1963 he landed on our screens and changed British television for ever.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35But why do you have to destroy?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Hm... Well, we are in a pickle, aren't we?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- OLD MAN'S VOICE: - Don't mess with me, young man!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45A new birth...of a sun...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and its planets!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I watched the very first episode of Doctor Who.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I'd come in that Saturday from somewhere.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I leaned on the door when I came in because it was just starting,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and I was still leaning there 25 minutes later when it finished.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It was new, it was different,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04it appealed to the young men that we were.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07The character at that stage, we didn't know where he'd come from,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09we didn't know what his back story was.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11So there's a lot of mystery about him.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Your arrogance is nearly as great as your ignorance.- Open the door!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We are the masters of the Earth!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Not for long.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23The show was unlike anything seen on our screens before
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and the character of the Doctor immediately became a TV icon.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yes, indeed.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30'The look of him, the sound of him,'
0:15:30 > 0:15:35the aura, was naturally authoritative.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38The Doctor started out as a kind of cool, trendy grandfather
0:15:38 > 0:15:40that was really clever and could
0:15:40 > 0:15:42teach you a thing or two about science.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I should say originally it was some pliable metal
0:15:46 > 0:15:48held together by a magnetic field.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52So the curiosity was enormous. Hm!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, yes, quite fascinating. Hm...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58In the modern era, we are used to seeing the Doctor
0:15:58 > 0:16:00being very off-the-cuff.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Bada-boom!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Spontaneous.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You only live once.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06You know, thinking on his feet.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Run!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12With Hartnell, everything he seemed to do and everything that went
0:16:12 > 0:16:15right for him seemed to be because of his experience.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18That city down there is a magnificent subject for study
0:16:18 > 0:16:20and I don't intend to leave here
0:16:20 > 0:16:22until I've thoroughly investigated it.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25And as we got to know this elderly alien with his unconventional
0:16:25 > 0:16:28time machine, it became clear that the Doctor
0:16:28 > 0:16:30was far from your typical small-screen hero.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32He was kind of grumpy, he was mysterious.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Oh, child, if only you'd think as an adult sometimes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36He also seemed...
0:16:36 > 0:16:38difficult.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Geniuses can be a bit rude and a bit blunt.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44William Hartnell definitely had a bit of that in him.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Please stop bothering me.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Yes, the first Doctor was rude... - Mind your own business.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- ..patronising...- I can see by your face that you don't understand.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I knew you wouldn't. Never mind.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58..and despite looking like a pensioner,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00he could certainly handle himself.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- OLD MAN'S VOICE:- Oh, you want to fight, do you? Come on, then!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'll just unravel my cravat.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yes, the first Doc was no day at the beach.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Don't call me Doc. Now, do I make myself clear?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19But over time, he began to mellow and went on to time-travel
0:17:19 > 0:17:23with a host of new friends, or companions, over the years.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Are you going to come with us? - If you'll have me.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27HE CHUCKLES
0:17:27 > 0:17:29He began to develop a softer side,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32and when granddaughter Susan grew up and fell in love...
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Oh, David, I do love you! I do! I do!
0:17:36 > 0:17:40..he sent her off with a memorable and emotional farewell speech.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44There must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Just go forward in all your beliefs
0:17:47 > 0:17:51and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55And soon the first Doctor was saying his own goodbyes,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57leaving as a changed character.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02He enters almost as the villain, and leaves as the eccentric,
0:18:02 > 0:18:03passionate hero.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08'You know, became this hugely popular figure in popular culture,'
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and if he has a legacy, it's that the show is still running today
0:18:11 > 0:18:13and that's got to be down to him.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16By the end of his spell in the TARDIS, the Doctor had laid
0:18:16 > 0:18:20the foundations for the next 50 years of time-travelling adventures.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22And far from being the end,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25the demise of the first Doctor was only the beginning.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28WILLIAM HARTNELL IN DALEK VOICE: I fooled them all! I am the master!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30HE CHUCKLES
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Whether the regeneration from the off, in 1963, was part of the plan...
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I'd love to think it was in some... because it's a masterstroke.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Yes, over 50 glorious years, the Doctor's light has never faded,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56thanks to the ingenious concept of regeneration.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's far from being all over.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It means I'm going to change.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03The Doctor doesn't die.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06It's the body that dies and he then switches his body
0:19:06 > 0:19:08and he turns into somebody totally new.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09It's the end!
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Regeneration is, to me, the most genius plot device ever.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Don't die!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20The thing that has made Doctor Who endure is the fact that
0:19:20 > 0:19:22the Doctor regenerates.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's time to say goodbye.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27- Doctor!- Stay away!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I don't want to go.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32'It's a very neat trick, I suppose,'
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and it's proved to be unbelievably successful.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'm sorry.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42If you can have a different person playing the same character,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44it's just going to go on and on.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Regeneration is what has enabled us to have this conversation.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's enabled the 50th anniversary to happen.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's absolutely brilliant,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05and the constant in Doctor Who is change, and that's the clever part.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Every new regeneration is a new aspect of his personality.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Am I...ginger?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23No, you're just sort of brown.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I want to be ginger! I've never been ginger.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29You're always curious to find out what is new about him.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32What is new about this regeneration? What is new about this character?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34What side of the Doctor are we going to see now?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Older regenerations could involve anything
0:20:37 > 0:20:42from a Bohemian Rhapsody-style video effect to a cosmic facemask.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Nowadays, regeneration is a more hi-tech affair.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49All of the modern regenerations have been incredibly memorable.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53And they've sort of settled down now to this thing where
0:20:53 > 0:20:56the orange energy comes out of him and all that stuff.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Eccleston, when he changes to David, was like... - MAKES WHOOSHING SOUND
0:21:04 > 0:21:08All this stuff comes out and there's light and things going on.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10That was, like, whoa!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Hello. I... HE GULPS
0:21:15 > 0:21:16New teeth, that's weird.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I've still got legs! Good!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23He's got all of these different guises and, with each successive
0:21:23 > 0:21:28Doctor, they bring something new to the role that keeps you interested.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30They are one and the same.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31They may look different,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35but they are really just incarnations of the same thing.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- That's important. - And that's just how it should be.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That is the perpetual Doctor Who cycle.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44No-one is bigger than the character, because Doctor Who is Doctor Who.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46HE LAUGHS
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So, after the first Doctor's demise,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53the second arrived with a whole new take on the Time Lord.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Patrick Troughton had the hard job.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Patrick Troughton was the actor
0:22:04 > 0:22:06who established that the Doctor can change.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10It wasn't somebody pretending to do what William Hartnell did,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12he completely reinvented the character.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15And he took hold of that part,
0:22:15 > 0:22:20flipped it on its side, wiggled its legs in the air and he became
0:22:20 > 0:22:25this wonderful, loving cosmic hobo, who was disarming and charming.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28EXPLOSIONS AND SHOUTING
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I loved Patrick Troughton's Doctor.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Just so subtle and clever and quick-changing.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Interesting.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Funny and so characterful.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Yes, we are in trouble, aren't we?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Why? What's all this about?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I don't know, but we've got to be careful.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54We've got to be very, very careful.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Patrick was a proper character actor.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02How can I be a traitor when I don't even know where I am?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Where am I?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06He was a bit clown-like.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07SHE SCREAMS
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I'm sure we can talk this over.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13He invents how the Doctor is going to be from then on,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16so he's not just the hero, he's the comedy hero.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Sausages!
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Patrick Troughton's Doctor is sort of more recognisable
0:23:21 > 0:23:24to modern audiences, I think. He's more the centre of the action.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27If not for Patrick Troughton, there wouldn't be a Matt Smith today.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Oh, you've redecorated!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I don't like it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33You've had this place redecorated, haven't you? Don't like it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36But Troughton wasn't just a clown, he was musical.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38TOOTING
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Sort of. And he was the first to use...- This is a sonic screwdriver.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Now, where can I demonstrate it?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47His three-year reign came to an abrupt end
0:23:47 > 0:23:49when he was captured by his fellow Time Lords.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52And it was only then that we found out more about who this mysterious
0:23:52 > 0:23:54time-traveller actually was.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You have repeatedly broken our most important law
0:23:56 > 0:24:00of non-interference in the affairs of other planets.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04What have you to say? Do you admit these actions?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I not only admit them, I am proud of them.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We start to learn more about the fact that the Doctor
0:24:10 > 0:24:14is a Time Lord, and we learn more about their code.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18All these evils I have fought while you have done nothing but observe.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21You can observe the affairs of the universe,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23but you can't intervene, you can't join in.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25But the Doctor naturally feels that you should,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27and we learn a lot more about his moral code.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31True, I AM guilty of interference, just as you are guilty of failing
0:24:31 > 0:24:35to use your great powers to help those in need!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38By way of punishment, his TARDIS was grounded.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41And we also saw the beginnings of the Doctor's love affair
0:24:41 > 0:24:42with our fair planet.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We have noted your particular interest in the planet Earth.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Earth seems more vulnerable than others, yes.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52For that reason, you will be sent back to that planet, in exile.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55No! No!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57And so ended the story of the second Doctor.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02He's the one who sort of nails exactly how it's going to be,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05so his legacy to the part is huge.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08'If he hadn't been so brilliant,'
0:25:08 > 0:25:11the show could have just gone by the wayside.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12The audience stuck
0:25:12 > 0:25:17and that very act of re-creation has allowed the series to live on.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25There's nobody in the universe can do what we're doing.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30He is the actor to whom all the subsequent Doctors
0:25:30 > 0:25:33look for inspiration. In particular Matt Smith.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37And so the nation's love affair with the eccentric Time Lord grew.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41But where there's a good guy, there's got to be a baddie.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47They are my oldest and deadliest enemy. You cannot trust them.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I wonder who that could be.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Exterminate!
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You will obey!
0:25:52 > 0:25:57No power in this universe can stop the Daleks!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00There's still that fearful excitement.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06Completely resourceful, a ruthless enemy, that looked ridiculous.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09The Daleks are the ultimate enemy of the Doctor.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Kill him!- He is an enemy of the Daleks! Exterminate!
0:26:16 > 0:26:20It's a robot with anger problems. It's a tank that rants at you.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25They are both vocally and physically simply quite unique.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28So, apart from their hatred of the Doctor,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30what are the elements that make up a Dalek?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34They're evil...
0:26:34 > 0:26:37The Earth will die screaming!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39..they have no mercy...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42If you have any compassion in your hearts...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44HE SCREAMS
0:26:44 > 0:26:46..and they have slimy little things in them.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49The true Dalek form.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51They'll turn on their own...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What it is to want to mess up.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58..and they can even make a mean cuppa.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Would you care for some tea?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02That would be very nice, thank you.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04No matter how hard he tries,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07the Doctor just can't seem to get rid of the Daleks.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It doesn't matter how you get rid of the Dalek,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12whether it's in a vortex or whether it's in a black hole,
0:27:12 > 0:27:13or whether you disintegrate them...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Impossible.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Exterminate!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21..they always come back. There's always a new generation.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23If I were the Doctor now, I'd be wondering what the point is.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28He got rid of the Daleks and they've reappeared. It's like he can't win.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30They keep evolving and the more series that go on,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34you keep seeing a new version and an upgrade.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37But the biggest war the Daleks have fought has been their battle
0:27:37 > 0:27:39with...the staircase.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40The stairs!
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Time was when Daleks didn't go upstairs.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And people always used to joke,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49"How are the Daleks ever going to conquer the universe?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51"They can't even get up the stairs."
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Well, Remembrance Of The Daleks sought to put that right.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58# I believe I can fly
0:27:59 > 0:28:02# I believe I can touch the sky. #
0:28:02 > 0:28:04That was a very important moment.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It was great fun and I'm so pleased to have been part of it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Exterminate!
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Of course they've got to hover. They've conquered time and space!
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Elevate!
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Like all enduring enemies of the Doctor,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25the Daleks have had to move with the times.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Even Daleks have regenerated themselves
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and given themselves a bit of a makeover.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32A bit of an upgrade.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Maximum efficiency!
0:28:34 > 0:28:37And in recent years, they've even developed emotions.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I am in pain.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Rose, no! SIZZLING
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Just for those fleeting moments, a vulnerable Dalek.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53We almost have sympathy for it.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55An emotional Dalek.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56I hate it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Getting in touch with your feelings, whether you're
0:28:59 > 0:29:03a Dalek or a grown man, it's good these days to moisturise and cry.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07But despite developing their emotional capabilities,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10the Daleks remain the number one enemy of the Doctor.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17but hello again.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Corny as it is, corny as it sounds, you can't beat the Daleks.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25They're the other villain in the Time War.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28It's like Superman and Lex Luthor.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34We have grown stronger in fear of you.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37I know.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41They are the Doctor's longest enemy, so they have to be around.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Now, if there was one man who knew how to take out a Dalek in style,
0:29:50 > 0:29:55it's Doctor number three, all-round man of action, Jon Pertwee.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Probably the most flamboyant Doctor of the lot,
0:29:58 > 0:30:00number three became known as a bit of a dandy.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Do you mean me?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Enormously flamboyant. - It's an excellent vintage.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07It's really a completely different phase.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09There was a bit of espionage about him.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Nobody sends me anywhere, I'm a free agent.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Very...majestic and powerful.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I am a Time Lord.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20When Pertwee takes over the Doctor, he's established as the eccentric,
0:30:20 > 0:30:21amusing scientist.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23What Jon Pertwee brings to it, for the first time,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25is the action hero.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Imprisoned on Earth
0:30:27 > 0:30:30and with his TARDIS grounded by his fellow Time Lords,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33the Doctor's adventures were now very much based in the modern world.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34That's interesting.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37He even had a proper job, working for UNIT,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39where his new companions included Liz Shaw...
0:30:39 > 0:30:41That's impossible.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44..Jo Grant, Sarah Jane Smith...
0:30:44 > 0:30:46We need somebody to make the coffee.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48..and favourite sparring partner, the Brigadier...
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- The Brigadier is an idiot.- ..with whom he rarely saw eye to eye.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- I wouldn't like to have to order you.- I wouldn't advise you to try.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59It's this great voice, with this fiery energy behind it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01If you cannot reverse the energy drain,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04the fabric of the entire universe could be torn apart.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Though he never managed to fix his knackered TARDIS,
0:31:08 > 0:31:12the Doctor more than made up for it with his fleet of vehicles.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16The third Doctor was every inch the action man.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19He was a real adventurer in real life.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22And so any time there was
0:31:22 > 0:31:24a motorbike or anything,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27we were there, we were playing. It was fun.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30A bit more of a James Bond than we'd seen before.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Yes, from motorbikes to Jet Skis.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I remember he had a hover car.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36He had it all,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40including his trademark bright yellow Edwardian roadster, Bessie.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Soon, even Bessie was left in the garage
0:31:43 > 0:31:47and he upgraded to his own specially created pimp wagon, the Whomobile.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50This new car of mine is exactly what I need.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Pertwee spent five years as the Doctor,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55featuring in over 100 episodes.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58But the all-action third Doctor eventually succumbed
0:31:58 > 0:32:01to his inevitable demise at the hands of a huge
0:32:01 > 0:32:03and not entirely convincing spider.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06HIDEOUS SCREECHING
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Doctor!
0:32:08 > 0:32:10The Planet Of The Spiders. It was very sad.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12I didn't want him to go.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Please...don't die.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18A tear, Sarah Jane?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20A tear...
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Sarah Jane?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Don't cry, don't cry.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26And then...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28this regeneration happened.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Well...here we go again.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37And so third regenerated to fourth
0:32:37 > 0:32:40and the role of the Doctor was never the same again.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Once Jon Pertwee lays down those tracks, the other Doctors run on it.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47They're always a little bit action-y after that.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- You're going to need a car.- Don't worry, I commandeered a vehicle.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53SIREN WAILS
0:32:53 > 0:32:57You would have this wonderful comfort, that no matter how dreadful
0:32:57 > 0:33:01the aliens were, Jon Pertwee's Doctor would protect you
0:33:01 > 0:33:05and you were OK, and you just sort of travelled in his wake.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07He didn't pretend to be anything
0:33:07 > 0:33:09other than the cleverest man in the room.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15So far, on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,
0:33:15 > 0:33:19we've taken in a tour of the transdimensional TARDIS...
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- Tiny box, huge room inside. - ..met the first three Doctors...
0:33:23 > 0:33:24I am a Time Lord.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25I don't like it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I knew you wouldn't. Never mind.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29..and seen the rigours of regeneration.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It means I'm going to change.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Still to come, there's eight more Doctors...
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- You only live once. - ..sexy companions old and new...
0:33:37 > 0:33:38I'm a kissagram!
0:33:38 > 0:33:40..and more dastardly villains
0:33:40 > 0:33:43than you can shake a perigosto stick at.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45ROARING
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Travelling through time and different universes
0:33:48 > 0:33:50can make the TARDIS a lonely place for the Doctor.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53His race has been wiped out, he's out there on his own.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57I think that's why he likes companions. He likes some company.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59# I belong to you, you belong to me
0:33:59 > 0:34:01# My sweetheart. #
0:34:01 > 0:34:03The story is the companions' story.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05As each new person steps on the TARDIS
0:34:05 > 0:34:07they begin the most important journey in their lives.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11It's a travelling companion, a sounding board.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Just as people have their favourite Doctor,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15people have their favourite companion.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20The companion, I suppose, is the audience's access point.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Kind of reacting to situations in the way that you would.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I mean, she's asking questions and everything
0:34:25 > 0:34:29but she also brings something to it as well.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33The companion today plays an integral role
0:34:33 > 0:34:36in the story of the Doctor.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Whether by falling in love...
0:34:38 > 0:34:41saving the universe by power of their memory...
0:34:41 > 0:34:45OK, kid, this is where it gets complicated.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47..jumping into the Doctor's timeline...
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Doctor!
0:34:49 > 0:34:52..or even becoming half Time Lord themselves.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Half Doctor, half girl!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58The emotional life of the companion has been developed.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03I feel like the companion role is getting very complex.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Apart from being more involved in the stories,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07the modern companion is feisty...
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Oi, watch it, spaceman!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10..forward...
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You're getting married in the morning!
0:35:12 > 0:35:13..and can be ferocious.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16You can put that stuff down or run for your lives.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17ZAPPING
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Do you like my gun?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Initially, the companion's role was a little more straightforward -
0:35:24 > 0:35:26they were there to ask questions...
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- What is an SD?- Ask Captain Yates.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- ..scream... - SHE SCREAMS
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Stop! We're friends!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34..and occasionally need saving.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Then one lady came along who changed it all.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I thought all this might give me a good story. I'm a journalist.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Sarah Jane Smith.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52Sarah Jane Smith was almost like a blueprint for a lot
0:35:52 > 0:35:54of the later companions.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00In a way, she was really the first companion,
0:36:00 > 0:36:04certainly who I remember, who had a career and who had a really,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07really strong, defined character of her own.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And so rather than just screaming and running away from monsters,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13which she also did pretty brilliantly...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15SHE SCREAMS
0:36:15 > 0:36:18..she also would come up with stuff of her own volition.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23She was so popular that in 2006, she made a return to our screens.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Hello, Sarah Jane.- It's you!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Everyone was so excited she was back.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Who's she?- Rose, Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane, Rose.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Hi.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Well, almost everyone.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I don't mean to be rude or anything, but who exactly are you?
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- Sarah Jane Smith. I used to travel with the Doctor.- Oh!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- He's never mentioned ya. - Oh, I must have done.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Sarah Jane, I mention her all the time.- Hold on. Sorry... Never.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55What, not even once?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57He didn't mention me once?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Oh, mate, the missus and the ex,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02welcome to every man's worst nightmare.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Even though she came back, Sarah Jane will mainly
0:37:04 > 0:37:08be remembered for the time she spent as Tom Baker's assistant.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10No, hang on, who was...? Hang on...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13No, he had Leela as well, didn't he?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14How could we forget?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18The next companion was more likely to get into a scrap than the Doctor.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Meet the all action companion, Leela.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Hello, did I startle you?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26"Shall I kill him now, Doctor?"
0:37:26 > 0:37:28# I got the eye of the tiger. #
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Do I really look like that?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34K-9: Affirmative.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Leela is a sort of... you know, from a tribe,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39what you'd call a primitive person
0:37:39 > 0:37:43from some planet where they're all daggers and they wear skins.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I am a warrior of the Sevateem. I know the different sounds of death.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Leela is feisty, intelligent...
0:37:49 > 0:37:51# Going to hear me roar Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh... #
0:37:51 > 0:37:53..fearsome.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56It was cool that Leela was almost like the Doctor's bodyguard,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58a bit of role reversal.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01The alpha female instead of the alpha male.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- That was a prodigious throw. - Prodigious?! - Well, it was an amazing throw.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15Our next companion, Peri Brown, was also fond of a skimpy outfit.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- # They say, "Hey, sexy" - Hey, sexy
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- # When I'm dancing in the club They say, "Hey, sexy"- Hey, sexy... #
0:38:21 > 0:38:25I suppose that people would say that particularly Peri
0:38:25 > 0:38:26was a sex symbol.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29# They're loving me so much... #
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It was the '80s when we were doing the series.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35And Nicola Bryant suffered sometimes
0:38:35 > 0:38:38with being costumed as older men
0:38:38 > 0:38:41thought dolly birds ought to be costumed.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43You sound confident. I don't want to know.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45It wasn't something I thought about while I was playing the part,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48other than the fact that it was probably quite hard to forget
0:38:48 > 0:38:51that you were wearing a leotard and a pair of shorts
0:38:51 > 0:38:53and getting frostbite when you were filming.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Things warmed up with the seventh Doctor
0:38:57 > 0:39:00and his fully-clothed sidekick, Dorothy, better known as Ace.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04# It's my party
0:39:04 > 0:39:06# I'll do, do what I want
0:39:06 > 0:39:09# Do, do what I want... #
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Ace was a kind of street kid.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Quite a little expert with explosives, I hear.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Yeah, so what if I am?- Excellent.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21She was feisty, she was cheeky.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Ace was an odd kind of hybrid, really,
0:39:26 > 0:39:30because she felt quite contemporary,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33but then spoke the Queen's English.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Oh, go on, Professor, let me come too.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- Well... I don't see why not.- Ace!
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I mean, I have never met anyone like that.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44When people find out that I was in Doctor Who, they always say,
0:39:44 > 0:39:45"Oh, which one were you?"
0:39:45 > 0:39:49And I always say, very proudly as I puff out my chest,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52"I was the one who beat up a Dalek with a baseball bat!"
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Well, I'm 45 years old. So my favourite Doctor is Tom Baker.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15HE WHISTLES
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Would you like a jelly baby?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19I've no choice about that.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Spending seven years in the TARDIS,
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Tom Baker's Doctor was the longest serving and the most unpredictable.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29You simply don't know what's going to come out of that man's mouth
0:40:29 > 0:40:31or what is going on behind those remarkable eyes.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33All change at Venus for the Brighton line.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35SHE SIGHS HEAVILY
0:40:35 > 0:40:36BANG
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- Was that bang big enough for you, Brigadier?- Nicely done, Doctor.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45- Tom Baker was eccentric, flamboyant. - You mustn't believe all they say.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- His eyes!- Keep looking into my eyes!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52And sort of walking around like that. Casting a very big shadow.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57He was quite sort of imposing, quite sort of grand.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- AS TOM BAKER:- Oh, my God, it's, like, all kicking off and that.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- This is, like, so well bad, I'm going to have to totally, like, sort this out and that.- You stay here.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09With his playful nature and trademark flowing scarf,
0:41:09 > 0:41:13it didn't take long for the fourth Doctor to capture the public's imagination.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Enormous zest.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Bigger than the screen in which he was appearing, and yet it worked.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24He embodies, in all its weirdness, what the Doctor is,
0:41:24 > 0:41:25what the Doctor means.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29After the third Doctor's exile on Earth, this Doctor brought with him
0:41:29 > 0:41:31a new sense of adventure.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34I can't waste any more time. Things to do, places to go.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38He took us on a journey of dark tales in otherworldly universes
0:41:38 > 0:41:42which gave his era a Hammer horror feel.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:41:45 > 0:41:49By the end of Tom Baker's era, he'd defeated more villains
0:41:49 > 0:41:53and travelled to more places in time than any other Doctor before him.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54And if that wasn't enough,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57he was even crowned President of the Time Lords.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00I invest you...
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Lord President of the Supreme Council.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08In the end, the fourth Doctor succumbed to his regeneration
0:42:08 > 0:42:10in a suitably heroic fashion -
0:42:10 > 0:42:13saving the Earth from his evil nemesis, the Master.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Leaving behind the legacy of creating arguably the most
0:42:17 > 0:42:19iconic Doctor of all time.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I think whenever the Doctor's a bit quirky and eccentric,
0:42:22 > 0:42:27it makes them more human and more warm and lovable,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30and I think Tom Baker definitely had a lot of that about him.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39He was completely mesmerising. Full stop, Tom Baker.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41It's the end.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47We've already taken a look at the Daleks,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50but there's another group of bad guys that have been battling
0:42:50 > 0:42:53the Doctor since his first incarnation.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55What was that?
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I don't know. A robot.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Nope. It's not a robot.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Cyberman! Get down!
0:43:03 > 0:43:07That's right, it's the Cybermen, the part steel, part human bad guys.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12I've seen them before.
0:43:12 > 0:43:13They're relentless, they're ruthless,
0:43:13 > 0:43:15and they know how to make an entrance.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Most of all, Cybermen are just plain scary.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I was always scared of Cybermen when I was a kid.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32The emotionless facial expression.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34I guess it was the face that I was scared of.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37Terrified of that weird,
0:43:37 > 0:43:40blank expression that they have on their face.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45You are never quite sure what's going on behind that mask.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50What happens in there?
0:43:50 > 0:43:52The Cybermen were originally human beings,
0:43:52 > 0:43:56but gradually they replaced their weak mortal flesh with metal and plastic.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00They decided the way to go - stainless steel, you know?
0:44:00 > 0:44:02It is nonporous, it cleans easily.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04OK, it scratches.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08But you just get a Brillo Pad. Give it a rub, it's as good as new.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- Excellent!- In the process, they lost their compassion.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14Don't give me those blank looks.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- Along with all other emotions. - We feel nothing.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21Nevertheless, they managed to maintain a pretty strong yearning for world domination.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Destroy them.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26Destroy them at once.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30Close enough to us for their differences to be utterly chilling.
0:44:31 > 0:44:32OK.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Despite their relentlessness,
0:44:34 > 0:44:36the Cybermen were by no means invincible
0:44:36 > 0:44:37if you knew what you were doing.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42The Cybermen had this fatal flaw, they were severely allergic to gold.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- Bullets are a waste of time with this lot.- Bullets won't stop them.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51What you need is a well-aimed ray gun, a spear-chucking alien,
0:44:51 > 0:44:54- or even a good old-fashioned bow and arrow.- A hit.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58And if all else fails, just knock his block off.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04I don't think I can take much more of this.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10But as we all know, every Doctor Who baddie needs a catch phrase.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14- And the Cybermen's is certainly easy to remember.- We are the Cybermen.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- No, not that one.- You will be deleted.- Ah, that's better.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Clearly they had "exterminate" for the Daleks.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25And then they were like, "What's another word for exterminate?"
0:45:25 > 0:45:29- You will be deleted.- "Erase?" - Delete.- Delete.
0:45:29 > 0:45:34- Very easy to remember.- I'm glad they went for "delete" over "back space".
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Time now for a bit of a sporting departure.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Peter Davison was a part-time cricketer.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43# I say, I don't like cricket... #
0:45:43 > 0:45:46- Did he actually like cricket? - I love cricket.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48# I love it... #
0:45:48 > 0:45:51There seems to be something distinctly wrong.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54OK, sorry, apart from loving cricket, he was also the fifth Doctor.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04It was a real pleasant surprise
0:46:04 > 0:46:08when the floppy-haired Peter Davison emerged.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Peter Davison, I feel like he's my Doctor.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13My earliest memories of Doctor Who are Peter Davison.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15He's so soft and warm.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18He'd saved all the animals in another life as a vet.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22And he's reckless and innocent,
0:46:22 > 0:46:24and he has qualities of youth about him,
0:46:24 > 0:46:27which we'd never, ever seen in the Doctor before.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29These things are irrelevant.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!
0:46:32 > 0:46:36This nice-guy fifth Doctor was certainly a departure from the fourth.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39I enjoyed the contrast of his Doctor
0:46:39 > 0:46:45to the sort of confidence of Tom Baker's Doctor.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Are you all right?
0:46:47 > 0:46:51Just a twinge of cosmic angst.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54I think I wanted to introduce a bit of self-doubt into the character.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56He'd been a bit too assured,
0:46:56 > 0:46:59too absolutely self-confident he could just...
0:46:59 > 0:47:00everything was going to be sorted out.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04'And I just felt, partly because it was a nice thing to play as an actor,'
0:47:04 > 0:47:07that I wanted to make my character a little fallible.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09There can't be much time left. What can we do?
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Abandon methodical procedure for blind instinct.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14At times it felt like almost a lack of confidence in himself
0:47:14 > 0:47:17as the Doctor, and that made him very interesting and quite,
0:47:17 > 0:47:19you know, human.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20I give you my word.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Just as you keep your word to Tegan?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25That's not fair.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27The fifth Doctor's reign came to an heroic end
0:47:27 > 0:47:31when he saved companion Peri's life.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Open your mouth. You must drink this.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37# Never fall away... #
0:47:38 > 0:47:42From my experience, particularly as Peri,
0:47:42 > 0:47:44he's a heroic Doctor,
0:47:44 > 0:47:47because for Peri's sake,
0:47:47 > 0:47:50he is prepared to go through regeneration,
0:47:50 > 0:47:53so he quite literally dies for the sake of his companion,
0:47:53 > 0:47:55whom he hasn't known very long.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58- Where is it?- What?- The bat's milk!
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Finished. Only enough for you.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04It was certainly a moving end to the reign of the fifth Doctor,
0:48:04 > 0:48:08but it will always be remembered for a couple of reasons.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Peter Davison, no doubt if you're speaking to him,
0:48:10 > 0:48:13he will say that he has an overriding
0:48:13 > 0:48:17memory of the scene that he was upstaged by part of my anatomy.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18You kind of...
0:48:18 > 0:48:20You try to be in a moment,
0:48:20 > 0:48:23but in the end, you're basically just looking at Peri's chest.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25'Nicola Bryant's cleavage.'
0:48:25 > 0:48:28Which I thought somewhat took away from the great performance
0:48:28 > 0:48:31I was giving about a foot and a half below the cleavage.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35# She's got me spinning... #
0:48:35 > 0:48:36HE LAUGHS
0:48:36 > 0:48:40And you would sort of...I guess feel a bit sorry for Peter Davison
0:48:40 > 0:48:45who is giving, arguably, the performance of his career.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47And the majority of the audience, I think,
0:48:47 > 0:48:49are just sort of going, "Oh, Peri."
0:48:49 > 0:48:50I'm going soon.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53It's time to say goodbye.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Don't give up.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57You can't leave me now.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59I might regenerate.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02So apart from a memorable farewell,
0:49:02 > 0:49:04what was the legacy of the fifth Doctor?
0:49:04 > 0:49:07I'd like people to think of the fifth Doctor as introducing
0:49:07 > 0:49:11an element of humanness to the Doctor.
0:49:11 > 0:49:17He brings the idea of the Doctor as a young, reckless genius.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19And, really, it lays down a new path for the show
0:49:19 > 0:49:21when he takes it over.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25So I'd like to think that I started that trend that others followed later.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29Look at you! The hat, the coat, the crickety cricket stuff, the...
0:49:29 > 0:49:32stick of celery. Brave choice, celery.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35But fair play to you, not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Shut up!
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Yeah!
0:49:40 > 0:49:43So the fifth Doctor wasn't always such a nice guy, but he couldn't
0:49:43 > 0:49:47hold a candle to our next villain, one of the baddest of the bad guys.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51The Master.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53There's been a few Masters.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Menacing, evil.
0:49:55 > 0:49:56Pretty naughty, really.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59The Master - the Doctor's nemesis.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01- He's crazy.- Crazy.
0:50:01 > 0:50:02He's brilliant.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- And he's ruthless.- Kill him!
0:50:05 > 0:50:08But, in fact, he's a little bit like the Doctor.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Well, the Master, in lots of ways,
0:50:10 > 0:50:12- is who the Doctor could be if he choose to be.- Sweet.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15If Doctor Who is a Yin
0:50:15 > 0:50:17then the Master...
0:50:17 > 0:50:18is a Yang.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23And like all good Doctor Who villains,
0:50:23 > 0:50:25the Master is still intent on causing disaster.
0:50:26 > 0:50:30Oh, all right, then, it's me. Ta-da!
0:50:30 > 0:50:34John Simm was very lucky, cos he was obviously told to chew the furniture
0:50:34 > 0:50:37and go for it with his portrayal of the Master.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39And did.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43Here come the drums!
0:50:45 > 0:50:49In typical Master fashion, he had his eye on world domination.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53- But a row with the missus soon put an end to that.- Always the women.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56As we all know, you can't keep a good Master down,
0:50:56 > 0:50:57and he was soon back for another try.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59But this time, he wasn't alone.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01You're crafting your thoughts inside them, is that it?
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Oh, that's way too easy.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06No, no, no. They're not going to think like me.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08They're going to BECOME me!
0:51:08 > 0:51:10What does John Simm do?
0:51:10 > 0:51:13He turns the entire world into John Simm.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15Which is great.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18For John Simm.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20What have you done, you monster?
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Oh, I'm sorry, are you talking to me?
0:51:24 > 0:51:25Or to me?
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Or to me? I am everyone.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31And everyone in the world is me!
0:51:31 > 0:51:34I love John Simm, but...
0:51:34 > 0:51:37you know, I don't want to be waking up next to him.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39There is no human race, there is only...
0:51:39 > 0:51:42the Master race!
0:51:42 > 0:51:46You know, I want to spoon, but I don't want to be spooning John.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Sorry, John.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48I like you.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Despite the Master's evil mind, the Doctor never gave up on him.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54You could be so much more.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56You could be beautiful.
0:51:56 > 0:52:00It allows us to see the Doctor in a different light.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03And also gives him an equal to fight against.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07With a mind like that, we could travel the stars.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08It would be my honour.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10But it wasn't enough to halt his lust for power.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14And before we knew it, there was a tear-up of biblical proportions,
0:52:14 > 0:52:16with the Doctor on one side
0:52:16 > 0:52:19and the Time Lords and the Master on the other.
0:52:19 > 0:52:20Get out of the way.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23Finally, there was a crack in the Master's armour
0:52:23 > 0:52:27and he showed that even the baddest of the bad guys can mend their ways
0:52:27 > 0:52:30as he helped the Doctor to defeat the Time Lords.
0:52:30 > 0:52:31You made me!
0:52:31 > 0:52:35And then, like the enigma that he is, he vanished.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38It's the moral ambiguity of a guy that's supposed to be a villain,
0:52:38 > 0:52:41but then does something that was good at the end.
0:52:41 > 0:52:42He's the toss of the coin -
0:52:42 > 0:52:44what a Time Lord could decide to do.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47That's what makes Time Lords interesting.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49The Doctor, in lots of ways, is the Master.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52He's just... He's just the other way round.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56The Doctor is interested in justice and in equality and in liberty.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00And the Master is interested in ruling the universe.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12- Doctor? - You're expecting someone else?
0:53:12 > 0:53:16When the sixth incarnation of the Doctor burst onto our screens,
0:53:16 > 0:53:19almost straightaway we knew what we were going to get.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22- What's happened?- Change, my dear.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Change, my dear.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27And it seems not a moment too soon.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30The changeover from fifth to sixth hadn't been an easy one
0:53:30 > 0:53:31for our beloved Doctor.
0:53:31 > 0:53:36Instead of having a normal, quite comfortable regeneration,
0:53:36 > 0:53:39he was going to go through this sort of trauma.
0:53:39 > 0:53:44- You still seem a little unstable. - Unstable?
0:53:44 > 0:53:45Unstable?!
0:53:45 > 0:53:47UNSTABLE?!
0:53:47 > 0:53:52He was going to be psychologically damaged for a while by his regeneration.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54- You're bonkers.- That's debatable.
0:53:54 > 0:53:58For the first time, we began to see a side of the Doctor that wasn't so easy to like.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02Colin Baker allows the Doctor to finally express his own ego.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06I'm a Time Lord! A man of science, temperament.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08I've never seen this side of you before.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12Yes, the era of the nice-guy fifth Doctor was now truly over,
0:54:12 > 0:54:13and in a now famous scene,
0:54:13 > 0:54:17our new Time Lord asks for a bit of patience from the haters.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18And I would suggest, Peri,
0:54:18 > 0:54:22that you wait a little before criticising my new persona.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25You may well find it isn't quite as disagreeable as you think.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27Well, I hope so.
0:54:28 > 0:54:34Whatever else happens, I AM the Doctor.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Whether you like it or not.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40You tell 'em, Doc.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44OK, the sixth Doctor had his faults, but at least he looked cool, right?
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Multicoloured monstrosity of a coat.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51'I've been moaning about my outfit for 30 years.'
0:54:51 > 0:54:55- I suddenly feel conspicuous. - I'm not surprised in that coat(!)
0:54:55 > 0:54:58They asked me what I'd like to wear as the Doctor.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00And what I described
0:55:00 > 0:55:03was pretty much what Chris Eccleston got.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06I'm not convinced he could have pulled off cool.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- Joseph and his Technicolor explosion. - It was spectacular.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12- I mean, dreadful. - You can't go out dressed like that.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- Why ever not?- You look dreadful!
0:55:15 > 0:55:18The perfect marriage of awful and really good.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Yes, the sixth Doctor was certainly a departure from the previous five,
0:55:22 > 0:55:25as he blazed a darker trail that later Doctors went on to follow.
0:55:25 > 0:55:31The Doctor's ego becomes rampant in the form of the sixth Doctor.
0:55:31 > 0:55:35Let's exercise the grey cells for once, shall we?
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Rather than the muscles.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42It did strike me that a man who is 900 years old
0:55:42 > 0:55:43and has two hearts,
0:55:43 > 0:55:47comes from a planet of Time Lords called Gallifrey,
0:55:47 > 0:55:50might behave a little differently from a bloke who
0:55:50 > 0:55:53lives in Surbiton and commutes to the City every day,
0:55:53 > 0:55:57and that some of his actions might be hard for us to understand.
0:55:58 > 0:55:59HE YELLS
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Forgive me if I don't join you.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08My last appearance was getting into the TARDIS,
0:56:08 > 0:56:10saying "carrot juice" and disappearing into oblivion.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice...
0:56:17 > 0:56:22I understand that some impostor called Sylvester McCoy
0:56:22 > 0:56:26swaddled himself in my clothes, with a blonde wig on pretending to be me.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32And there you have it, the sixth Doctor, defiant to the last.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34I AM the Doctor.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37Whether you like it or not.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47So far on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,
0:56:47 > 0:56:52we've met six very different incarnations of the Doctor.
