I think I have everything!

We're still going, yeah? We're still
going to have our proper holiday?

OK, you're worrying me now.
Stop worrying me.

- Doctor? - Who am I? Where am I?
And who are you?

You've actually done it,
haven't you?

Last thing you said to me
before I went out, "I've got to

"remember to repair the interface or
I'll completely wipe my memory."

I don't remember saying that!
I don't remember saying anything!

In fact, here's a theory - don't
laugh. Promise me you won't laugh.

(I think, whoever I am,
I've lost my memory.)

All 1,200 years?

That sounds like a lot. Is that
a lot? That sounds like a lot.

- First things first, what's my name?
- I don't know, nobody knows.

- Well, that's a good start! - You call
yourself the Doctor. - Oh, I like it.

Doctor Who. Ha! Yes! Nobody knows!
That's the thing!

- Wait a second. - OK. Be cool...

- You showed me this once.
- Right. - It might help.

All your life, everything you've
ever done, all written in here.

The Doctor, is he a good person? Who
are his friends? Who are his enemies?

Open it, find out.

Oh... OK...

So, Doctor...who are you?

Doctor Who, the British
science fiction phenomenon,

is about to celebrate
50 years on our screens.

After nearly 800 episodes,

11 incarnations
and thousands of adventures,

it's the longest-running sci-fi show
of all time.

Guess who! Ha!

Tonight, we're going to take you on
a journey across the Whoniverse...

You want moves, I'll give you moves.

..charting the history
of the time-travelling Doctor

and his many faces.

- I have to face my fear.
- From companions...

- Don't steal that one, steal this
one. - ..to chameleon circuits.

Bad girl!

- From the Master to the monsters...
- You are the destroyer of the world!

..we'll be covering it all,
in Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide.

Come with me.

So...

all of time and space, everything
that ever happened or ever will.

Where do you want to start?

How about we start
at the very beginning?

Doctor Who has been going for 50
years. What makes it so special?

The special thing about Doctor Who
is almost indefinable.

It's just a great idea.

This is the story of a man with
a box that's bigger

on the inside than the out, that
can go anywhere in time and space.

I'm definitely a madman with a box.

It's called the TARDIS, this thing.

It's simply about his adventures.

But adventures in time.

It's a series where anything
is possible.

Very hard to describe,
because it sounds mental.

That's not fair.

- The fears are primal. - Doctor!

But the victories are...total.

Redemption is possible.

Take it! Take it all, baby!

It's got a special place
in the heart of Britain, I think.

It's a cultural phenomenon.
It's a tradition.

And it is going to be...

..fantastic.

I grew up with Doctor Who being
kind of passed down...

From generations and generations.

- Is it always this dangerous? - Yeah.

And I think that everyone
kind of connects to that aspect

of the show where you get invited to
go on all these adventures.

- Come with me. - Where?

Wherever you like.

To the eyes of a four-year-old
child, it was magical.

There is a wish fulfilment.

You could fall through those magic
doors into that adventure.

Who are you? Where am I?

I used to sit in the bath
fantasising I'd be Doctor Who,

and then a girl from my school
would be my companion.

You're utterly mad!

There's gadgets...

..there's baddies...

assistants...and there's,
like, a dog that's electric.

I'm into that.

K-9!

There's a lot more sci-fi geeks
in the world than people think.

- Good. - I can't imagine UK
television without Doctor Who.

I mean, it would just be weird.
It would be like a big void.

We still want to be scared,
we still want to be inspired,

but in the same way that we
were as kids.

When you talk of the Earth...then
make sure that you tell them this.

It...is...defended!

We want a hero.

That's what we want.

Yes, and we've already witnessed
the reign of 11 of these

time-travelling heroes.

Let's give ourselves a quick
reminder of who they are.

Hartnell, Troughton,

Pertwee, Baker,

Davison, Baker,

McCoy, McGann.

Eccleston, Tennant,

Smith.

Nailed it!

So, that's our first 11, but what is
the Doctor actually like, then?

- They call me the Doctor.
- Doctor what? - There is no name.

Doctor...John Smith, isn't it?

He looks quite like me.

I'm the Doctor! I'm a Time Lord.

Yes, about 450 years old.

I'd say he's 900 years old.

- You're 900 years old?
- I've no idea what age he is now.

I'm 1,200 years old now.

Wow, he ages quickly.

My mum was right, that is
one hell of an age gap.

The Doctor is from the planet
Gallifrey.

- Are you from another planet? - Yeah.

He's a Time Lord.

- He was president of the Time Lords
at one point. - He's a time-traveller.

He stole the TARDIS.

He looks human,
but he has two hearts.

- I say, I don't think that can be
right. - The more hearts, the better.

He can give twice the loving.
Know what I mean?

- No. - He's an explorer. He is
a man in love with the universe.

MECHANICAL: The Doctor will destroy
the universe. No, no.

No, you've got it wrong.

- Stubborn. - Courageous.
You need to leave this planet.

Creative.

Yes, OK, OK. OK.

- He's a scientist.
- Of course! You fool!

It's antimatter!

He's a vegetarian.
The steak looks nice.

He's not a vegetarian.
Steak and chips.

He's a lapsed vegetarian.

Fascinating.

In the nicest possible way,
he's a weirdo.

Has anyone ever told you that
you're a bit weird?

They never really stop.

And I like weirdos.

The Doctor isn't
a self-conscious hero.

He doesn't go around looking
for problems to solve,

but he is massively compassionate
and massively empathetic

and has a tremendous
sense of justice and goodness.

But how much do
we really know about the Doctor?

Are there darker sides to the
Time Lord than we ever thought?

Get out of my head!

He knows what evil is. He wouldn't be
the hero he is if he didn't.

I think the audience always knows
the Doctor is a hero

but they also know that there
are consequences sometimes

to someone taking such a big
role in the universe.

That there can be downsides.

Really tragic events happen.

Look after our baby.

Why doesn't he stop her?

He may not be the hero that we
believe he is.

We learn more about the character

and maybe learn
more about the dark side.

It was kind of
the natural progression

or a natural thing to bring that
sort of dark complexity.

Sometimes we allude to,

or there is a suggestion of some
upset in his past.

Because he rarely,
if ever, talks about it.

I'm not sure exactly where
he's come from.

And with the climax of the latest
series of Doctor Who

we find our beloved
Time Lord in uncharted territory.

Trenzalore is where I'm buried.

Welcome

..to the tomb of the Doctor.

Having landed on Trenzalore,

the Doctor comes face-to-face with
a mysterious figure.

- Who's that? - It's me.

He's the one who broke the promise.

What I did, I did without choice.

And it seems as the reign of
the 11th Doctor approaches its end,

his world is becoming
increasingly complicated.

What that man is and why the Doctor
chose to reject him

and to delete him from his own
past is going to be the story told

in the 50th anniversary
special, The Day Of The Doctor.

But for now,
on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,

we're going to take a look
at the genesis

of this unconventional hero of
sci-fi and his many faces.

♪ Nothing stays the same. ♪

But before we start
travelling across time and space,

we're going to need
a vehicle of some sort.

Anyone got any ideas?

It's blue.

THEY MIMIC "METALLIC THRUMMING"

It's got "Police" written on it.

SHE MIMICS "METALLIC THRUMMING"

It's a wooden box.

HE MIMICS "METALLIC THRUMMING"

With a genius inside it.

HE MIMICS "METALLIC THRUMMING"

- I think it's just, like, immense.
- It's a metaphor for the human soul.

HARSH BREATHING

It's probably the most iconic
spacecraft ever created.

You know, it feels like it's alive.

That's right,
we're going to begin our journey

across the Whoniverse with a look at
the love of the Doctor's life.

The TARDIS.

I should like to see this TARDIS.

- The what?! - The TARDIS.

That's not even a proper word!

But what does TARDIS actually mean?

T-A-R-D-I-S.

- Time. And. - Relative.

Dimension.

Time And Relative Dimension In Space.

The TARDIS was developed in the
Doctor's home world of Gallifrey,

in order to allow Time Lords to
travel through space and time.

The Doctor,
being the impatient maverick he is,

decided he had to steal
one for himself.

- Doctor? - Yes, what is it?

With a little help from Clara.

Don't steal that one,
steal this one.

The navigation system's knackered,
but you'll have much more fun.

During its travels,
the Doctor's TARDIS

became known for
its iconic exterior.

- What's a police public call box?
- It's a telephone box, from the 1950s.

It's a disguise.

Yes, it's got a complex system
called a chameleon circuit,

which allows the TARDIS to blend
in seamlessly with its surroundings.

But unfortunately, it doesn't
actually work.

How do we get in?

The mechanism for its disguise
is just knackered.

It's like watching a man
with his car.

It's his pride and joy
and it's wonderful to watch.

Although the Doctor is constantly
trying to fix it, it seems

that we're stuck with the good old
blue police box

but, for newcomers to the
TARDIS, there's one feature

that never ceases to amaze
and confuse.

- Bigger on the inside.
- It's bigger on the inside.

The TARDIS is a sort of
Narnia wardrobe.

- The inside is bigger than
the outside? - Yes.

It is bigger on the inside than
on the out. That's amazing.

That's poetry.

It is very small outside,
it's just in here it's big.

Oh, come off it!

Goodbye.

Thinking about how it works could
drive you bonkers.

It's a lot to take in, isn't it?

Tiny box, huge room inside.
Let me explain.

- It's another dimension?
- Is basically another dimension. What?

But impossible as it sounds,

the mystery was actually explained
years ago by fourth Doctor

Tom Baker.

- Which box is larger? - That one.

There's a scene where the Doctor
tries to explain to Leela

how the TARDIS works, and he says,

"Basically,
part of it is further away,

"which means it's in the distance."

- Now which is larger? - That one!
- But it looks smaller.

- That's because it's further away.
- Exactly.

It's to do with perspective.

If you could keep that exactly that
distance away and have it here,

the large one would
fit inside the small one.

That's basically
it, they've found a way

of compressing the perspective.

- Which - I - always found convincing!
- That's silly.

But I was about eight,
so leave me alone.

It doesn't make any sense.

That's transdimensional engineering.

Recently, the Doctor's relationship
with the TARDIS

has developed into something
a little more intimate.

I've just had a new
idea about kissing. Come here!

The TARDIS is this kind of quite
eccentric, flaky woman.

I just really love that idea.

In the episode The Doctor's Wife,
the Doctor comes face-to-face

with Idris,
a human embodiment of the TARDIS.

It's me!

- I'm the TARDIS. - No, you're not!
You're a bitey mad lady.

The TARDIS is up and downy stuff
in a big blue box.

Yes, that's me.

I really liked it because you
kind of got to see the Doctor's

- relationship with the TARDIS in more
of a romantic way. - In human terms.

Yeah, more human and, like,
because Matt Smith is quite flirty.

The first time you
touched my console...

I said you were the most beautiful
thing I'd ever known.

And then you stole me.

And I stole you.

From then on, it's already
in your mind that he has this

kind of affection for the TARDIS.

It's not just his vehicle,

but it's a companion
and a partner for him.

- Sorry, do you have a name?
- 700 years, finally, he asks!

What do I call you?
I think you call me...sexy.

- Only when we're alone. - We are alone.

Right...

Come on, sexy.

The TARDIS - Doctor Who,
that's the first thing people think.

Doctor Who would be walking
along a street and the blue box

would be there and he'd beckon

and you'd go running off
to space and time.

It is sheer magic.

WOMAN SCREAMS

CRASH

I think the TARDIS is not just
a vehicle,

it's another character.

It's the spaceship! Everybody loves
the spaceship in anything sci-fi.

And the TARDIS is so cool because it
feels like a character of its own.

OK, so that's the TARDIS.

Now it's time to have a look at the
first lucky man to land it on Earth.

We are at...

the very beginning!

Meet the first Doctor,
William Hartnell.

In 1963 he landed on our screens and
changed British television for ever.

But why do you have to destroy?

Hm...
Well, we are in a pickle, aren't we?

OLD MAN'S VOICE:
Don't mess with me, young man!

A new birth...of a sun...

and its planets!

I watched the very first
episode of Doctor Who.

I'd come in that
Saturday from somewhere.

I leaned on the door when I came in
because it was just starting,

and I was still leaning there 25
minutes later when it finished.

It was new, it was different,

it appealed to the young
men that we were.

The character at that stage,
we didn't know where he'd come from,

we didn't know
what his back story was.

So there's a lot
of mystery about him.

- Your arrogance is nearly as great
as your ignorance. - Open the door!

We are the masters of the Earth!

Not for long.

The show was unlike anything
seen on our screens before

and the character of the Doctor
immediately became a TV icon.

Yes, indeed.

'The look of him, the sound of him,'

the aura,
was naturally authoritative.

The Doctor started out as a kind
of cool, trendy grandfather

that was really clever and could

teach you a thing or two
about science.

I should say originally it was some
pliable metal

held together by a magnetic field.

So the curiosity was enormous. Hm!

Well, yes, quite fascinating. Hm...

In the modern era, we are used to
seeing the Doctor

being very off-the-cuff...

Bada-boom!

..spontaneous...

You only live once.

..you know, thinking on his feet.

Run!

With Hartnell, everything he seemed
to do and everything that went

right for him seemed to be
because of his experience.

That city down there is a magnificent
subject for study

and I don't intend to leave here

until I've thoroughly
investigated it.

And as we got to know this elderly
alien with his unconventional

time machine,
it became clear that the Doctor

was far from your typical
small-screen hero.

He was kind of grumpy,
he was mysterious.

Oh, child, if only you'd think as an
adult sometimes.

He also seemed...

difficult.

Geniuses can be a bit rude
and a bit blunt.

William Hartnell definitely had
a bit of that in him.

Please stop bothering me.

- Yes, the first Doctor was rude...
- Mind your own business.

- ..patronising... - I can see by your
face that you don't understand.

I knew you wouldn't. Never mind.

..and despite looking
like a pensioner,

he could certainly handle himself.

OLD MAN'S VOICE: Oh, you want to
fight, do you? Come on, then!

I'll just unravel my cravat.

Yes, the first Doc was no
day at the beach.

Don't call me Doc.
Now, do I make myself clear?

But over time, he began to mellow
and went on to time-travel

with a host of new friends,
or companions, over the years.

- Are you going to come with us?
- If you'll have me.

HE CHUCKLES

He began to develop a softer side,

and when granddaughter Susan grew up
and fell in love...

Oh, David, I do love you! I do!
I do!

..he sent her off with a memorable
and emotional farewell speech.

There must be no regrets,
no tears, no anxieties.

Just go forward in all your beliefs

and prove to me
that I am not mistaken in mine.

And soon the first Doctor was
saying his own goodbyes,

leaving as a changed character.

He enters almost as the villain,
and leaves as the eccentric,

compassionate hero.

You know, became this hugely popular
figure in popular culture,

and if he has a legacy, it's that
the show is still running today

and that's got to be down to him.

By the end of his spell
in the TARDIS, the Doctor had laid

the foundations for the next 50
years of time-travelling adventures.

And far from being the end,

the demise of the first Doctor was
only the beginning.

WILLIAM HARTNELL IN DALEK VOICE:
I fooled them all! I am the master!

HE CHUCKLES

Whether the regeneration from the
off, in 1963, was part of the plan...

I've love to think it was in some...
because it's a masterstroke.

Yes, over 50 glorious years,
the Doctor's light has never faded,

thanks to the ingenious
concept of regeneration.

It's far from being all over.

It means I'm going to change.

The Doctor doesn't die.

It's the body that dies and he then
switches his body

and he turns into somebody
totally new.

It's the end!

Regeneration is, to me,
the most genius plot device ever.

Don't die!

The thing that has made Doctor Who
endure is the fact that

the Doctor regenerates.

It's time to say goodbye.

- Doctor! - Stay away!

I don't want to go.

It's a very neat trick, I suppose,

and it's proved to be
unbelievable successful.

I'm sorry.

If you can have a different person
playing the same character,

it's just going to go on and on.

Regeneration is what has enabled us
to have this conversation.

It's enabled
the 50th anniversary to happen.

It's absolutely brilliant,

and the constant in Doctor Who is
change, and that's the clever part.

Every new regeneration is
a new aspect of his personality.

Am I...ginger?

No, you're just sort of brown.

I want to be ginger!
I've never been ginger.

You're always curious to find out
what is new about him.

What is new about this regeneration?
What is new about this character?

What side of the Doctor
are we going to see now?

Older regenerations could
involve anything

from a Bohemian Rhapsody-style
video effect to a cosmic facemask.

Nowadays, regeneration is
a more hi-tech affair.

All of the modern regenerations have
been incredibly memorable.

And they've sort of settled down now
to this thing where

the orange energy comes out of them
and all that stuff.

- Eccleston, when he changes
to David, was like...
- MAKES WHOOSHING SOUND

All this stuff comes out and
there's light and things going on.

That was, like, whoa!

Hello. I...
HE GULPS

New teeth, that's weird.

I've still got legs! Good!

He's got all of these different
guises and, with each successive

Doctor, they bring something new to
the role that keeps you interested.

They are one and the same.

They may look different,

but they are really just
incarnations of the same thing.

- That's important.
- And that's just how it should be.

That is the perpetual
Doctor Who cycle.

No-one is bigger than the character,
because Doctor Who is Doctor Who.

HE LAUGHS

So, after the first Doctor's demise,

the second arrived with a whole new
take on the Time Lord.

Patrick Troughton had the hard job.

Patrick Troughton was the actor

who established that the Doctor
can change.

It wasn't somebody pretending to
do what William Hartnell did,

he completely reinvented
the character.

And he took hold of that part,

flipped it on its side, wiggled
its legs in the air and he became

this wonderful, loving cosmic hobo,
who was disarming and charming.

EXPLOSIONS AND SHOUTING

I loved Patrick Troughton's Doctor.

Just so subtle and clever
and quick-changing.

Interesting.

Funny and so characterful.

Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables
one to be wrong with authority.

Yes, we are in trouble, aren't we?

Why? What's all this about?

I don't know,
but we've got to be careful.

We've got to be very, very careful.

Patrick was a proper
character actor.

How can I be a traitor when I don't
even know where I am?

Where am I?

He was a bit clown-like.

SHE SCREAMS

I'm sure we can talk this over.

He invents how the Doctor is going
to be from then on,

so he's not just the hero,
he's the comedy hero.

Sausages!

Patrick Troughton's Doctor is
sort of more recognisable

to modern audiences, I think.
He's more the centre of the action.

If not for Patrick Troughton,
there wouldn't be a Matt Smith today.

Oh, you've redecorated!

I don't like it.

You've had this place redecorated,
haven't you? Don't like it.

But Troughton wasn't just a clown,
he was musical.

TOOTING

- Sort of. And he was the first to
use... - This is a sonic screwdriver.

Now, where can I demonstrate it?

His three-year reign came to
an abrupt end

when he was captured
by his fellow Time Lords.

And it was only then that we found
out more about who this mysterious

time-traveller actually was.

You have repeatedly
broken our most important law

of non-interference
in the affairs of other planets.

What have you to say?
Do you admit these actions?

I not only admit them,
I am proud of them.

We start to learn more
about the fact that the Doctor

is a Time Lord,
and we learn more about their code.

All these evils I have fought while
you have done nothing but observe.

You can observe
the affairs of the universe,

but you can't intervene,
you can't join in.

But the Doctor naturally feels
that you should,

and we learn a lot
more about his moral code.

True, I AM guilty of interference,
just as you are guilty of failing

to use your great powers
to help those in need!

By way of punishment,
his TARDIS was grounded.

And we also saw the beginnings
of the Doctor's love affair

with our fair planet.

We have noted your particular
interest in the planet Earth.

Earth seems more vulnerable
than others, yes.

For that reason, you will be sent
back to that planet, in exile.

No! No!

And so ended
the story of the second Doctor.

He's the one who sort of nails
exactly how it's going to be,

so his legacy to the part is huge.

If he hadn't been so brilliant,

the show could have just
gone by the wayside.

The audience stuck

and that very act of re-creation has
allowed the series to live on.

Our lives are different to anybody
else's. That's the exciting thing.

There's nobody in the universe
can do what we're doing.

He is the actor to whom all
the subsequent Doctors

look for inspiration.
In particular Matt Smith.

And so the nation's love affair with
the eccentric Time Lord grew.

But where there's a good guy,
there's got to be a baddie.

They are my oldest and deadliest
enemy. You cannot trust them.

I wonder who that could be.

Exterminate!

You will obey!

No power in this universe
can stop the Daleks!

There's still that
fearful excitement.

Completely resourceful, a ruthless
enemy, that looked ridiculous.

The Daleks are the ultimate
enemy of the Doctor.

- Kill him! - He is an enemy
of the Daleks! Exterminate!

It's a robot with anger problems.
It's a tank that rants at you.

They are both vocally
and physically simply quite unique.

So, apart from their hatred
of the Doctor,

what are the elements that
make up a Dalek?

They're evil...

The Earth will die screaming!

..they have no mercy...

If you have any compassion
in your hearts...

HE SCREAMS

..and they have slimy
little things in them.

The true Dalek form.

They'll turn on their own...

What it is to want to mess up.

..and they can even make
a mean cuppa.

Would you care for some tea?

That would be very nice, thank you.

No matter how hard he tries,

the Doctor just can't seem
to get rid of the Daleks.

It doesn't matter how you get
rid of the Dalek,

whether it's in a vortex or
whether it's in a black hole,

or whether you disintegrate them...

Impossible.

Exterminate!

..they always come back.
There's always a new generation.

If I were the Doctor now,
I'd be wondering what the point is.

He got rid of the Daleks and they've
reappeared. It's like he can't win.

They keep evolving
and the more series that go on,

you keep seeing a new version
and an upgrade.

But the biggest war the Daleks have
fought has been their battle

with...the staircase.

The stairs!

Time was when Daleks
didn't go upstairs.

And people always used to joke,

"How are the Daleks ever going to
conquer the universe?

"They can't even get up the stairs."

Well, Remembrance Of The Daleks
sought to put that right.

♪ I believe I can fly

♪ I believe I can touch the sky. ♪

That was a very important moment.

It was great fun and I'm
so pleased to have been part of it.

Exterminate! Exterminate!
Exterminate!

Exterminate!

Of course they've got to hover.
They've conquered time and space!

Elevate!

Like all enduring enemies
of the Doctor,

the Daleks have had to move
with the times.

Even Daleks
have regenerated themselves

and given themselves
a bit of a makeover.

A bit of an upgrade.

Maximum efficiency!

And in recent years,
they've even developed emotions.

I am in pain.

Rose, no!
SIZZLING

Just for those fleeting moments,
a vulnerable Dalek.

We almost have sympathy for it.

An emotional Dalek.

I hate it.

Getting in touch
with your feelings, whether you're

a Dalek or a grown man, it's good
these days to moisturise and cry.

But despite developing
their emotional capabilities,

the Daleks remain the number one
enemy of the Doctor.

I thought you'd run out of ways to
make me sick,

but hello again.

Corny as it is, corny as it sounds,
you can't beat the Daleks.

They're the other villain
in the Time War.

It's like Superman and Lex Luthor.

We have grown
stronger in fear of you.

I know.

They are the Doctor's longest
enemy, so they have to be around.

Now, if there was one man who knew
how to take out a Dalek in style,

it's Doctor number three, all-round
man of action, Jon Pertwee.

Probably the most flamboyant
Doctor of the lot,

number three became
known as a bit of a dandy.

Do you mean me?

- Enormously flamboyant.
- It's an excellent vintage.

It's really a completely
different phase.

There was
a bit of espionage about him.

Nobody sends me anywhere,
I'm a free agent.

Very...majestic and powerful.

I am a Time Lord.

When Pertwee takes over the Doctor,
he establishes the eccentric,

amusing scientist.

What Jon Pertwee brings to it,
for the first time,

is the action hero.

With his frilly shirts,
bravado and showmanship,

this bombastic Time Lord was
Liberace meets Bruce Lee.

Yes,
being a master of Venusian aikido,

the third Doctor was not
a man to mess with.

He basically said, "Aaiieee!"

And took everybody out.

Aaaiieee!

He's a very square-jawed,
straight-down-the-line, heroic type.

He's like your grandad,
but he can do karate. That's cool.

Ha!

A 4th Dan black belt grandpa.

This was a straight-talking,
no-nonsense Time Lord,

who didn't suffer fools gladly,
even when they were on his side.

- I'm your new assistant. - Oh, no.

Ham-fisted bun vendor!

Hamfisted bun vendor.

Bun vendor?

He may have had a harsh manner,

but this Doctor certainly had
a keen eye for detail.

Good grief! It's a stegosaurus!

When the threats appeared,
Jon Pertwee's Doctor knew exactly

what to do and he did this great
look, like that.

His reactions when the monsters
appeared were superb.

Doctor!

Sonic screwdriver, like that.

BEEPING

WARBLING SCREAM

Imprisoned on Earth

and with his TARDIS
grounded by his fellow Time Lords,

the Doctor's adventures were now
very much based in the modern world.

That's interesting.

He even had a proper job,
working for UNIT,

where his new companions
included Liz Shaw...

That's impossible.

..Jo Grant, Sarah Jane Smith...

We need somebody to make the coffee.

..and favourite sparring partner,
the Brigadier...

- The Brigadier is an idiot. - ..with
whom he rarely saw eye to eye.

- I wouldn't like to have to order
you. - I wouldn't advise you to try.

It's this great voice,
with this fiery energy behind it.

If you cannot reverse
the energy drain,

the fabric of the entire
universe could be torn apart.

Though he never managed to fix
this knackered TARDIS,

the Doctor more than made up for it
with his fleet of vehicles.

The third Doctor was every
inch the action man.

He was a real
adventurer in real life.

And so any time there was
a motorbike or anything,

we were there, we were playing.
It was fun.

A bit more of a James Bond than
we'd seen before.

Yes, from motorbikes to Jet Skis.

I remember he had a hover car.

He had it all,

including his trademark bright
yellow Edwardian roadster, Bessie.

Soon,
even Bessie was left in the garage

and he upgraded to his own specially
created pimp wagon, the Whomobile.

This new car of mine
is exactly what I need.

Pertwee spent five
years as the Doctor,

featuring in over 100 episodes.

But the all-action third Doctor
eventually succumbed

to his inevitable
demise at the hands of a huge

and not entirely convincing spider.

HIDEOUS SCREECHING

Doctor!

The Planet Of The Spiders.
It was very sad.

I didn't want him to go.

Please...don't die.

A tear, Sarah Jane?

A tear...

Sarah Jane?

Don't cry, don't cry.

And then...

this regeneration happened.

Well...here we go again.

And so third generated to fourth

and the role of the Doctor was never
the same again.

Once Jon Pertwee lays down those
tracks, the other Doctors run on it.

They're always a little bit
action-y after that.

- ..Need a car. - Don't worry,
I commandeered a vehicle.

SIREN WAILS

Have this wonderful comfort,
that no matter how dreadful

the aliens were, Jon Pertwee's
Doctor would protect you

and you were OK, and you just
sort of travelled in his wake.

He didn't pretend to be anything

other than the cleverest
man in the room.

So far,
on Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,

we've taken in a tour of the
transdimensional TARDIS...

- Tiny box, huge room inside.
- ..met the first three Doctors...

I am a Time Lord.

I don't like it.

I knew you wouldn't. Never mind.

..and seen the rigours
of regeneration.

He's having a change.

Still to come, there's
eight more Doctors...

- You only live once.
- ..sexy companions old and new...

I'm a kissagram!

..and more dastardly villains

than you can shake
a perigosto stick at.

ROARING

Travelling through time
and different universes

can make the TARDIS a lonely
place for the Doctor.

His race has been wiped out,
he's out there on his own.

I think that's why he likes
companions. He likes some company.

♪ I belong to you, you belong to me

♪ My sweetheart. ♪

The story is the companions' story.

As each new person
steps on the TARDIS

they begin the most important
journey in their lives.

It's a travelling companion,
a sounding board.

Just as people
have their favourite Doctor,

people have their
favourite companion.

The companion, I suppose, is
the audience's access point.

Kind of reacting to situations
in the way that you would.

I mean, she's asking questions
and everything

but she also brings
something to it as well.

The companion today plays
an integral role

in the story of the Doctor.

Whether by falling in love...

saving the universe by power
of their memory...

OK, kid,
this is where it gets complicated.

..jumping into
the Doctor's timeline...

Doctor!

..or even becoming half
Time Lord themselves.

Half Doctor, half girl!

The emotional life
of the companion has been developed.

I feel like the companion role is
getting very complex.

Apart from being more
involved in the stories,

the modern companion is feisty...

Oi, watch it, spaceman!

..forward...

You're getting
married in the morning!

..and can be ferocious.

You can put that stuff down
or run for your lives.

ZAPPING

Do you like my plan?

Initially, the companion's role was
a little more straightforward -

they were there to ask questions...

- What is an SD? - Ask Captain Yates.

- ..scream...
- SHE SCREAMS

Stop! We're friends!

..and occasionally need saving.

Then one lady came along
who changed it all.

I thought all this might give me
a good story. I'm a journalist.

Sarah Jane Smith.

Sarah Jane Smith was
almost like a blueprint for a lot

of the later companions.

In a way, she was really
the first companion,

certainly who I remember, who
had a career and who had a really,

really strong,
defined character of her own.

And so rather than just screaming
and running away from monsters,

which she
also did pretty brilliantly...

SHE SCREAMS

..she also would come up with stuff
of her own volition.

She was so popular that in 2006,
she made a return to our screens.

- Hello, Sarah Jane. - It's you!

Everyone was
so excited she was back.

- Who's she? - Rose, Sarah Jane.
Sarah Jane, Rose.

Hi.

Well, almost everyone.

I don't mean to be rude or anything,
but who exactly are you?

- Sarah Jane Smith. I used to travel
with the Doctor. - Oh!

- He's never mentioned ya.
- Oh, I must have done.

- Sarah Jane, I mention her all
the time. - Hold on. Sorry... Never.

What, not even once?

He didn't mention me once?

Oh, mate, the missus and the ex,

welcome to every man's
worst nightmare.

Even though she came back,
Sarah Jane will mainly

be remembered for the time she spent
as Tom Baker's assistant.

No, hang on, who was...? Hang on...

No, he had Leela as well, didn't he?

How could we forget?

The next companion was more likely
to get into a scrap than the Doctor.

Meet the all action companion,
Leela.

Hello, did I startle you?

"Shall I kill him now, Doctor?"

♪ I got the eye of the tiger. ♪

Do I really look like that?

K-9: Affirmative.

Leela is a sort of...
you know, from a tribe,

what you'd call a primitive person

from some planet where they're all
daggers and they wear skins.

I am a warrior of the Sevateem. I
know the different sounds of death.

Leela is feisty, intelligent...

♪ Going to hear me roar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh... ♪

..fearsome.

It was cool that Leela was
almost like the Doctor's bodyguard,

a bit of role reversal.

The alpha female
instead of the alpha male.

- That was a prodigious throw.
- Prodigious?!
- Well, it was an amazing throw.

Our next companion, Peri Brown,
was also fond of a skimpy outfit.

- # They say, "Hey, sexy"
- Hey, sexy

- ♪ When I'm dancing in the club
They say, "Hey sexy" - Hey sexy... ♪

I suppose that people would say
that particularly Peri

was a sex symbol.

♪ They're loving me so much... ♪

It was the '80s
when we were doing the series.

And Nicola Bryant suffered sometimes
with being costumed as older men

thought dolly birds
ought to be costumed.

He sounds confident.
I don't want to know.

It wasn't something I thought about
while I was playing the part,

other than the fact that it was
probably quite hard to forget

that you are wearing a leotard
and a pair of shorts

and getting frostbite
when you were filming.

Things warmed up
with the seventh Doctor

and his fully-clothed sidekick,
Dorothy, better known as Ace.

♪ It's my party

♪ I'll do, do what I want

♪ Do, do what I want... ♪

Ace was a kind of street kid.

Quite the little expert with
explosives, I hear.

- Yeah, so what if I am? - Excellent.

She was feisty, she was cheeky.

Ace was an odd
kind of hybrid, really,

because she felt quite contemporary,

but then spoke the Queen's English.

Oh, go on, Professor,
let me come too.

- Well... I don't see why not. - Ace!

I mean,
I have never met anyone like that.

When people find out that I was
in Doctor Who, they always say,

"Oh, which one were you?"

And I always say,
very proudly as I puff out my chest,

"I was the one who beat up a Dalek
with a baseball bat!"

Well, I'm 45 years old.
So my favourite Doctor is Tom Baker.

HE WHISTLES

Would you like a jelly baby?
I've no choice about that.

Spending seven years in the TARDIS,

Tom Baker's Doctor was the longest
serving and the most unpredictable.

You simply don't know what's going
to come out of that man's mouth

or what is going on behind those
remarkable eyes.

All change at Venus
for the Brighton line.

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY, BANG

Was that bang big enough for you,
Brigadier? Nicely done, Doctor.

- Tom Baker was eccentric, flamboyant.
- You mustn't believe all they say.

- His eyes! - Keep looking into my eyes!

And sort of walking around like
that. Casting a very big shadow.

He was quite sort of imposing,
quite sort of grand.

AS TOM BAKER: Oh, my God, it's, like,
all kicking off and that.

- This is, like, so well bad, I'm
going to have to totally, like, sort
this out and that. - You stay here.

With his playful nature
and trademark flowing scarf,

it didn't take long
for the fourth Doctor to capture
the public's imagination.

Enormous zest.

Bigger than the screen in which he
was appearing, and yet it worked.

He embodies, in all its weirdness,
what the Doctor is,

what the Doctor means.

AS TOM BAKER: Home sapiens -
puny, defenceless bipeds.

They are indomitable!

He bases a lot of his scenes
on being four years old.

Do you think I might attract
attention? It is just possible.

And probably offer you a jelly baby.

Would you like a jelly baby?
Do you care for a jelly baby?

Would you like a jelly baby? Shut up!

It was kind of acceptable
back in the day.

You'd be like,
"Would you like a sweet?"

Someone would be like,
"That's a really lovely gesture."

If you give someone a sweet now,
they'd be like,

"No, get away from me, you weirdo.

"That's clearly
got something in it."

A simple "no, thank you"
would have been sufficient.

After the third Doctor's exile on
Earth, this Doctor brought with him

a new sense of adventure.

I can't waste any more time.

Things to do, places to go.

He took us on a journey of dark
tales in otherworldly universes

which gave his era
a Hammer horror feel.

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

By the end of Tom Baker's era,
he'd defeated more villains

and travelled to more places in time
than any other Doctor before him.

And if that wasn't enough,

he was even crowned
President of the Time Lords.

I invest you...

Lord President
of the Supreme Council.

In the end, the fourth Doctor
succumbed to his regeneration

in a suitably heroic fashion -

saving the Earth from his
evil nemesis, the Master.

Leaving behind the legacy
of creating arguably the most

iconic Doctor of all time.

I think whenever the Doctor's
a bit quirky and eccentric,

it makes them more human
and more warm and lovable,

and I think Tom Baker definitely
had a lot of that about him.

He was completely mesmerising.
Full stop, Tom Baker.

It's the end.

We've already taken
a look at the Daleks,

but there's another group of bad
guys that have been battling

the Doctor
since his first incarnation.

What was that?

I don't know. A robot.

Nope. It's not a robot.

Cyberman! Get down!

That's right, it's the Cybermen,
the part steel, part human bad guys.

I've seen them before.

They're relentless,
they're ruthless,

and they know how to make
an entrance.

Most of all,
Cybermen are just plain scary.

I was always scared
of Cybermen when I was a kid.

The emotionless, facial expression.

I guess it was the face that
I was scared of.

Terrified of that weird,

blank expression
that they have in their face.

You are never quite sure
what's going on behind that mask.

What happens in there?

The Cybermen were
originally human beings,

but gradually they replaced
their weak mortal flesh
with metal and plastic.

They decided the way to go -
stainless steel, you know?

It is nonporous, it cleans easily.
OK, it scratches.

But you just get a Brillo Pad.
Give it a rub, it's as good as new.

- Excellent! - In the process,
they lost their compassion.

Don't give me those blank looks.

- Along with all other emotions.
- We feel nothing.

Nevertheless, they managed to
maintain a pretty strong yearning
for world domination.

Destroy them.

Destroy them at once.

Close enough to us for their
differences to be utterly chilling.

OK.

Despite their relentlessness,

the Cybermen
were by no means invincible

if you knew what you were doing.

The Cybermen had this fatal flaw,
they were severely allergic to gold.

- Bullets are a waste of time with
this lot. - Bullets won't stop them.

What you need is a well-aimed
ray gun, a spear-chucking alien,

- or even a good old-fashioned
bow and arrow. - A hit.

And if all else fails,
just knock his block off.

I don't think
I can take much more of this.

But as we all know, every Doctor Who
baddie needs a catchphrase.

- And the Cybermen's is certainly easy
to remember. - We are the Cybermen.

- No, not that one. - You will be
deleted. - Ah, that's better.

Clearly they had
"exterminate" for the Daleks.

And then they were like, "What's
another word for exterminate?"

- You will be deleted. - "Erase?"
- Delete. - Delete.

- Very easy to remember. - I'm glad they
went for "delete" over "back space".

Time now
for a bit of a sporting departure.

Peter Davison
was a part-time cricketer.

♪ I say, I don't like cricket... ♪

- Did he actually like cricket?
- I love cricket.

♪ I love it... ♪

There seems to be something
distinctly wrong.

OK, sorry,
apart from loving cricket,
he was also the fifth Doctor.

It was a real pleasant surprise

when the floppy-haired
Peter Davison emerged.

Peter Davison,
I feel like he's my Doctor.

My earliest memories of Doctor Who
are Peter Davison.

He's so soft and warm.

He'd saved all the animals
in another life as a vet.

And he's reckless and innocent,

and he has qualities
of youth about him,

which we'd never,
ever seen in the Doctor before.

These things are irrelevant.

For some people, small, beautiful
events is what life is all about!

Peter Davison's Doctor,
very energetic, slightly breathy,

hands in pockets, running away.

Part of the reason I was cast,
I think,

was because the producer wanted
someone who could move a bit quicker.

And I was very proud of the fact that
I ran down corridors faster

than my predecessors.

I'm Lord President, am I not?

You will obey my commands.
And off he runs.

Great energy with Peter's Doctor.
Hold tight.

He was a breath of fresh air.
It rejuvenated the TARDIS.

It felt like a very good,
pure Doctor.

Yeah, I think it is fair.

Yeah, I was a very nice chap.

Still am. Well, kind of.

Your mum would
like him if you brought him home.

They'd be like, "Ah, he's so sweet."

This nice-guy fifth Doctor
was certainly
a departure from the fourth.

I enjoyed the contrast
of his Doctor

to the sort of confidence
of Tom Baker's doctor.

Are you all right?

Just a twinge of cosmic angst.

I think I wanted to introduce a bit
of self-doubt into the character.

He'd been a bit too assured,

too absolutely self-confident
he could just...

everything was going to
be sorted out.

And I just felt, partly because it
was a nice thing to play as an actor,

that I wanted to make my character
a little fallible.

There can't be much time left.
What can we do?

Abandon methodical
procedure for blind instinct.

At times it felt like almost
a lack of confidence in himself

as the Doctor, and that made
him very interesting and quite,

you know, human.

I give you my word.

Just as you keep your word to Tegan?

That's not fair.

The fifth Doctor's reign
came to an heroic end

when he saved companion Peri's life.

Open your mouth. You must drink this.

♪ Never fall away... ♪

From my experience,
particularly as Peri,

he's a heroic Doctor,

because for Peri's sake,

he is prepared
to go through regeneration,

so he quite literally
dies for the sake of his companion,

whom he hasn't known very long.

- Where is it? - What? - The bat's milk!

Finished. Only enough for you.

It was certainly a moving end
to the reign of the fifth Doctor,

but it will always be
remembered for a couple of reasons.

Peter Davison,
no doubt if you're speaking to him,

he will say that he has
an overriding

memory of the scene that he was
upstaged by part of my anatomy.

You kind of...

You try to be in a moment,

but in the end, you're basically
just looking at Peri's chest.

Nicola Bryant's cleavage.

Which I thought somewhat took away
from the great performance

I was giving about a foot and a half
below the cleavage.

♪ She's got me spinning... ♪

HE LAUGHS

And you would sort of...I guess
feel a bit sorry for Peter Davison

who is giving, arguably,
the performance of his career.

And the majority of the audience,
I think,

are just sort of going, "Oh, Peri."

I'm going soon.

It's time to say goodbye.

Don't give up.

You can't leave me now.

I might regenerate.

So apart from a memorable farewell,

what was the legacy of the
fifth Doctor?

I'd like people to think of the fifth
Doctor as introducing

an element of humanness
to the Doctor.

He brings the idea of the Doctor
as a young, reckless genius.

And, really,
it lays down a new path for the show

when he takes it over.

So I'd like to think that
I started that trend that others
followed later.

Look at you! The hat, the coat,
the crickety cricket stuff, the...

stick of celery.
Brave choice, celery.

But fair play to you,
not a lot of men can carry off
a decorative vegetable.

Shut up!

Yeah!

So the fifth Doctor wasn't always
such a nice guy, but he couldn't

hold a candle to our next villain,
one of the baddest of the bad guys.

The Master.

There's been a few Masters.

Menacing, evil.

Pretty naughty, really.

The Master - the Doctor's nemesis.

- He's crazy. - Crazy.

He's brilliant.

- And he's ruthless. - Kill him!

But, in fact, he's
a little bit like the Doctor.

Well, the Master, in lots of ways,

- is who the Doctor could be
if he choose to be. - Sweet.

If Doctor Who is a Yin

then the Master...

is a Yang.

And like all good
Doctor Who villains,

the Master is still
intent on causing disaster.

Oh, all right, then, it's me. Ta-da!

John Simm was very lucky, cos he was
obviously told to chew the furniture

and go for it with his portrayal
of the Master.

And did.

Here come the drums!

In typical Master fashion,
he had his eye on world domination.

- But a row with the missus soon put
an end to that. - Always the women.

As we all know,
you can't keep a good Master down,

and he was soon back
for another try.

But this time, he wasn't alone.

You're crafting your thoughts
inside them, is that it?

Oh, that's way too easy.

No, no, no.
They're not going to think like me.

They're going to BECOME me!

What does John Simm do?

He turns the entire world
into John Simm.

Which is great.

For John Simm.

What have you done, you monster?

Oh, I'm sorry,
are you talking to me?

Or to me?

Or to me? I am everyone.

And everyone in the world is me!

I love John Simm, but...

you know, I don't want
to be waking up next to him.

There is no human race,
there is only...

the Master race!

You know, I want to spoon, but
I don't want to be spooning John.

Sorry, John.

I like you.

Despite the Master's evil mind,
the Doctor never gave up on him.

You could be so much more.

You could be beautiful.

It allows us to see
the Doctor in a different light.

And also gives him
an equal to fight against.

With a mind like that, we could
travel the stars.

It would be my honour.

But it wasn't enough
to halt his lust for power.

And before we knew it, there was
a tear-up of biblical proportions,

with the Doctor on one side

and the Time Lords and the Master
on the other.

Get out of the way.

Finally, there was
a crack in the Master's armour

and he showed that even the baddest
of the bad guys can mend their ways

as he helped the Doctor
to defeat the Time Lords.

You made me!

And then, like the enigma
that he is, he vanished.

It's the moral ambiguity of a guy
that's supposed to be a villain,

but then does something
that was good at the end.

He's the toss of the coin -

what a Time Lord could decide to do.

That's what makes Time Lords
interesting.

The Doctor,
in lots of ways, is the Master.

He's just...
He's just the other way round.

The Doctor is interested in justice
and in equality and in liberty.

And the Master is
interested in ruling the universe.

- Doctor?
- You're expecting someone else?

When the sixth incarnation of
the Doctor burst onto our screens,

almost straightaway
we knew what we were going to get.

- What's happened? - Change, my dear.

Change, my dear.

And it seems not a moment too soon.

The changeover from fifth to sixth
hadn't been an easy one

for our beloved Doctor.

Instead of having a normal,
quite comfortable regeneration,

he was going to go through
this sort of trauma.

- You still seem a little stable.
- Unstable?

Unstable?!

UNSTABLE?!

He was going to be
psychologically damaged
for a while by his regeneration.

You're bonkers. That's debatable.

For the first time,
we began to see a side of the Doctor
that wasn't so easy to like.

Colin Baker allows the Doctor
to finally express his own ego.

I'm a Time Lord!
A man of science, temperament.

I've never seen
this side of you before.

People did not like the sixth Doctor.

Wait a minute.

The shock of Colin Baker after Peter
Davison was quite marked, actually.

It feels like if that
was happening today, to me,

I would have been
moaning about it on Twitter.

I'm pretty sure.

Yes, the era of the nice-guy fifth
Doctor was now truly over,

and in a now famous scene,

our new Time Lord asks for a bit
of patience from the haters.

And I would suggest, Peri,

that you wait a little before you
start criticising my new persona.

You may well find it isn't
quite as disagreeable as you think.

Well, I hope so.

Whatever else happens,
I AM the Doctor.

Whether you like it or not.

You tell 'em, Doc.

OK, the sixth Doctor had his faults,
but at least he looked cool, right?

Multicoloured monstrosity of a coat.

I've been moaning
about my outfit for 30 years.

- I suddenly feel conspicuous.
- I'm not surprised in that coat(!)

They asked me what
I'd like to wear as the Doctor.

And what I described

was pretty much
what Chris Eccleston got.

I'm not convinced
he could have pulled off cool.

Joseph and his Technicolor explosion.
It was spectacular.

- I mean, dreadful.
- You can't go out dressed like that.

- Why ever not? - You look dreadful!

The perfect marriage of awful
and really good.

Yes, the sixth Doctor was certainly
a departure from the previous five,

as he blazed a darker trail that
later Doctors went on to follow.

The Doctor's ego becomes rampant
in the form of the sixth Doctor.

Let's exercise the grey cells
for once, shall we?

Rather than the muscles.

It did strike me
that a man who is 900 years old

and has two hearts,

comes from a planet of Time Lords
called Gallifrey,

might behave a little
differently from a bloke who

lives in Surbiton
and commutes to the City every day,

and that some of his actions
might be hard for us to understand.

HE YELLS

Forgive me if I don't join you.

My last appearance was getting
into the TARDIS,

saying "carrot juice"
and disappearing into oblivion.

'Carrot juice, carrot juice,
carrot juice...'

I understand that some impostor
called Sylvester McCoy

swaddled himself in my clothes, with
a blonde wig on pretending to be me.

And there you have it, the
sixth Doctor, defiant to the last.

I AM the Doctor.

Whether you like it or not.

So far on
Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,

we've met six very different
incarnations of the Doctor.

Do you care for a jelly baby?
Shut up!

We've seen the Cybermen,
the Daleks and the Master.

It's me. Ta-da!

And we've looked into the world of
the companion.

Do you like my gun?

Still to come -
we countdown more Doctors...

Look at the women
in the Doctor's life...

And the men.

Sit still. Shut up.

The seventh Doctor,
played by Sylvester McCoy

was, on the face of it,
a bit of a clown.

I know that woman from somewhere.

I guess my favourite doctor is
Sylvester McCoy.

Look at me. I can see.

My doctor was much lighter,
Buster Keaton-esque, Chaplin-esque.

- Sylvester started off in a borrowed
coat from Colin Baker. - Where am I?

Who am I? And who are you?

He may have started
in a borrowed coat,

but he soon developed his own
unique identity.

His wardrobe was off the scale.

Thank goodness in this
regeneration I have

we gained my impeccable
sense of haute couture.

Like, I loved his hat
and his swagger.

HE SIGHS

I think that's quite a good
sentence.

He worked with props so well,
so like his hat.

And his umbrella.

He plays the spoons,
which he always does in everything.

Oh!

McCoy is a brilliant comedic actor.

His Doctor was a kind of trickstery,
magician.

- Things don't just vanish. - No.

But it soon became apparent that
under this playful exterior

lay a more complex character.

He had a specific...

transformation
within his character.

The more I know me,
the less I like me.

I realised when I was playing
the role that there was so much

more to this character.

On the surface
he's a comical little man,

but underneath that,
he's actually one of the coldest

and most manipulative
of the Doctors.

If you wait until the second series,
and I think my Doctor became,

started to become more mysterious.

Look me in the eye, pull the trigger.

End my life.

Yes, the seventh Doctor
was certainly manipulative.

And in the story
The Curse Of Fenric,

he even used
his sidekick Ace as a pawn

in the psychological game
of chess.

Time for the one final game.

Suddenly, you realise,
hang on a minute,

- he's actually using her for his own
ends. - She's an emotional cripple.

I wouldn't waste my time on her,
unless I had to use her somehow.

No!

MAN LAUGHS
My Doctor did play chess a lot.

There's reasons,
but he did stitch her up.

He would be making moves,
sometimes hoping, or driving

the opposition into making the moves
that would destroy them.

His betrayal of her
helps him defeat his foe

and eventually Ace forgives
and learns to trust him again.

Where to now, Ace?

- Home. - Home?

- The TARDIS. - Yes, the TARDIS.

The mystery had gone
as far as I was concerned,

I wanted to bring that back.

That was very important.

I wanted the "Who" to be, you know,
the question mark again,

"who is this person?"

The sad clown, McCoy embodied that.

You know, and it works.

It will always work.

Sylvester McCoy.

A wonderful, magical, wizard-like
clowning Doctor.

Yeah, terrific.

So the Doctors had a dog...

Goodbye, Master.

- ..aliens... - Goodness me, I'm tired.

And, of course,
women for his companions.

It almost feels like
there's someone left out.

Of course, it's the boys.

Sit still. Shut up.

Nice to see you again.

- Oh, my God!
- What are you getting at, Doctor?

How could you forget them?

We all know that guys,
when they get together,

they're like all
a bit more, "Oi, oi..."

THEY LAUGH

One of the Doctor's
shortest-lasting companions ever
was boy genius, Adam Mitchell.

- Oh, my God! - The Doctor accepted Adam
as a companion at Rose's request.

On your own head.

I think Adam had the potential
to be a great companion.

But it wasn't to be.

Adam was a bit of a naughty boy, and
the Doctor soon decides to send him

home after he tries to take future
technology back to his own time.

See ya!
A lot of people always ask me

whether, you know,
I would come back in the show.

But I think Adam's
two-episode stint was great.

You can't just go, in my head
I've got a chip Type II.

My head opens.

Stop it!

But someone who's stuck around
a little bit longer was Mickey.

Doctor!

Things started out wheelie
bad for Mickey.

♪ I'm a loser, baby... ♪

He was just very scaredy cat,

very, sort of,
scared of his own shadow.

That thing down there, the liquid,
Rose, it can talk!

And then you see Mickey starting
to change, drastically.

- Nice to see ya. - Come and have a go!

Just stay where you are, mister.

The name's Mickey. Mickey Smith.
Defending the Earth.

Next up, a man who also
saved the world once or twice -

time-travelling sex symbol,
Captain Jack Harkness.

♪ Bend me, shape me
anyway you want me... ♪

- Captain Jack Harkness. - Stop it.
- Maybe later, Blue.

Jack's time seemed to have
come to an end

when he was destroyed by Dalek.

Exterminate!

I kind of figured that.

But thanks to a possessed and very
scary looking Rose...

I bring life.

Captain Jack was restored to his
former glory.

- What happened? - Rose.

And as a bonus, he was given
the gift of immortality.

I'm the man who can never die.

He's dead.
HE GASPS, SHE SCREAMS

No, he's going to fry!

And the good thing is, he's not
dead for long. I get to kill again.

If you're going to play a character
where you're going
to be this immortal gung ho,

cool, American guy.

Who's going to say no to that?

One man who Amy Pond couldn't say
no to was our most recent
male companion, Rory Williams.

- This is Rory, he's a friend.
- Boyfriend.

When Amy vanished
the night before the wedding,

Rory obviously had his suspicions
about his fiancee's new best friend.

But you're human!

You're Amy, you're
getting married in the morning!

Between Amy, the Doctor and Rory...

it's like a love triangle.

Tell you what, you're a lucky man,
she's a great kisser.
GLASS SMASHES

Got my spaceship, got my boys.

- My work here is done! - Pfft!

Er, we are not her boys.

Yeah, we are.

I think essentially it
became the most dysfunctional family

in all of time and space.

But as their journey went on,
Rory showed Amy he could be a hero.

- Heil! - Heil!

- Can you ride a motorbike?
- I expect so. It's that sort of day.

And to prove how he heroic he was,

he only ever died once...

- Looks aren't everything. - Twice.

GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

Well, quite a few times, actually.

But I suppose it is kind of hard

to compete with someone

when their boyfriend Rory
keeps coming back to life.

That's pretty cool.

He proved himself more than a worthy
participant in this three-way

relationship, and cemented his place
in Amy's heart by waiting

nearly 2,000 years to see her.

Wow, that's proper love for you.

How could I leave her?
Why did you have to be so...

..human?

And finally, of course,
Rory got his girl.

Mr Pond! No. I'm not Mr Pond.

That is not how it works.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, it is.

The seventh Doctor's journey
came to an end on
the streets of San Francisco.

But after some ill-advised,
dodgy double open-heart surgery,

the eighth Doctor materialised.

Paul McGann's Doctor,
I think, created a wonderful
intriguing mystique,

that that sense of
when a Doctor is freshly regenerated

and the early hours of behaviour
is very erratic, very confused.

He spends the first 10 minutes going,
"Who am I?"

And that was an opportunity,
of course, to find the costume.

I said, "OK I'll put that on,
but I don't want to wear the scarf."

He was elegant.
He looked Byron-esque.

A great alien quality as well.

A meteor storm. The sky above us
was dancing with light!

Purple, green,
red and yellow. Yes!

I think he was quite sweet.

A sweet Doctor.

These shoes - they fit perfect.

Like the fourth Doctor before, the
eighth had a love for Jelly babies.

And with his sugar levels
shooting through the roof,

the ladies certainly
saw him as a bit of eye candy.

Here we go again!

♪ You're nobody
till somebody loves you... ♪

Paul McGann is the first, but not
the last of the romantic Doctors.

He's a dashing,
great looking guy.

In a way, one of the first
sex symbols and the women went,

"Whoa,
this Doctor is absolutely gorgeous."

Yes, this space-travelling stud

was going to take us to a place
we'd never been before.

Quite radical at the time.

But my goodness,
they've all been at it ever since.

Are you really good at...?

But not everyone
was impressed by the Doctor's
new-found sexual appetite.

It turned a bit soapy...
Soppy, and soapy.

Grace says that you have
a big secret.

I had no conception at all
that this chaste kiss
was going to cause any bother.

He's an alien.
What's he messing around with human
women for? For heaven's sake.

But, of course, nor did we realise,
in a little way...

we might be pioneers.

You know, Doctor Who had been very
successful for nearly 30 years
without a canoodle anywhere.

Cos now I just think that
now everybody has a kiss, don't they?

There's always snog in Doctor Who,
isn't there? Isn't there?

We got there first.

Ground-breaking smooch aside,
he was still the Doctor,

and wherever the Doctor may be,
trouble is never far behind.

Once the regeneration has happened,

and then realises the Master is also
there, he has to save the day.

He's planning to take my body
so that he will live and I will die!

But will he make it?
We don't know, the clock is ticking.

- And to make things worse, it's
New Year's Eve. - Champagne? Grace?

Cos it's a race against time,
literally.

Midnight is going to
mean the end of everything.

He's got him where he wants him.
He keeps him trapped at one point.

Tortures him.

It's the perils of the Doctor.

He becomes a fantastic hero has who
saves the universe yet again.

And with the Master sent packing,

it was time for the Doctor
to get on his way.

And for us to join him
on an incredible journey.

Oh, no, that was it.

The eighth Doctor just about made
it into the pantheons of Doctors.

You know what they called me?
The longest and the shortest.

I was the Doctor for the longest,
just by default.

But I wear the name with pride.

The eighth Doctor's struggle with
the Master was just

one of hundreds of battles
against alien foes over the years.

Many of which have had us
hiding behind the sofa.

Doctor Who would be nothing without
all the monsters that he fights.

Harvest the humans!

The fascination with Doctor Who is
what monster will it be this week?

From the Autons to the Zygons...

From the Ood to the Judoon...

I would say that my favourite
part of Doctor Who is the villains.

The baddies are bad
and they're scary.

Yes, they are, they're very scary.

Have you met monsters before?

- Yeah.
- You scared of them?

No, they're scared of me.

My favourite episode is Blink
with the Weeping Angels

which was so, so, scary.

Yes, you'd be blinking mad to mess
with the Weeping Angels.

These far from angelic statues
can send you back in time,

just make sure you
keep your eyes open.

My favourite monsters of all
time are the Weeping Angels

because they are the scariest.

They just are.

Don't look away.
And don't blink!

It was a totally new monster,
totally new threat.

And...don't blink?

Scary.

I actually went like that
as I watched,

as they kind of did that jump cut.

And their normal method of killing
is to send you back in time

and let you live to death.

I can't go past that sort of statue
now without taking a side glance.

Can you guess who our next
Doctor Who villains are?

Quiet please.

It's the Silence.

I remember.

Some freaky...things, man.

Very frightening.

The Silence are the scariest
villains ever.

I need to know about the Silence.

A religious order.

Great power and discretion.

The Silence are enemies
from the Doctor's future

and people have travelled
back in time in order to kill

the Doctor before he gets there.

That's all
he knows about the Silence.

You've been interfering in human
issues for thousands of years,

yes, people have suffered and died,

but what's the point in two hearts

if you can't be a bit
forgiving now and then.

They've got really long fingers

and when you look away from them
you forget that you've seen them.

Oh, man.

They can be there and then you
turn away and they're like,

"Oh, I'm fine now."

Argh!

Out of all the monsters
and villains the Doctor has battled

throughout his journeys,
there is one...

You will be punished for this.

..calculating...

You have the audacity to interrupt
one of my experiments.

..tyrannical mastermind who has left
his mark on the Doctor's universe.

You have confounded me
for the last time!

Davros!

Freaky. He's like the guy with
the cat in James Bond.

Davros is the creator of the Daleks.

A scientist from the planet Skaro

who believes that alongside
his creations,

he can become the supreme power in
the universe.

Welcome to my new empire, Doctor.

He first appeared in our screens
in the 1975 adventure

Genesis Of The Daleks.

What was brilliant about him when
he first appeared is it put this

human face to the Daleks, that they
weren't just a thing that had...

plopped out of nowhere, that they
had come from somewhere.

I will go on!

You are insane, Davros!

I think Michael Wisher was
the first to play Davros,

and even as a kid you knew
he was in a mask and in clothes,

and he was very still
and very chilling

and in that sort of pimped out
mobility scooter

that looked like the bottom
half of a Dalek,

he was really properly frightening
and other-worldly, and evil.

Over the last four decades like the
proverbial bad penny that he is,

Davros has continuingly
reappeared

spouting his dogma of universal
conquest

again and again and again.

You did this!

I name you for ever.

You are the destroyer of the worlds!

Argh!

Davros may never become
one of the good guys, but in

the modern world of the Doctor,
things aren't so black and white.

The bad guys can often turn out
to be not so bad.

It's always been the case
in Doctor Who that

the Doctor finds good in everything

and some of the creatures
he meets are on his side,

and it's not always cut and dried,

there are Ice Warriors who
have been on the Doctor's side

that he's allied himself with.

He's very good friends with
Strax these days.

Sir, permission to express my
opposition to your current apathy.

Permission granted.

I think that's created a subculture
of very particular characters,

I don't think that means every
Sontaran is going to be a good guy.

I think that's just elaborating the
texture of the Doctor Who universe.

He's very good friends
with Madame Vastra

who is a Silur
and he's had to fight them before.

Nice to see you off your
cloud and engaging again.

I'm not engaging again,
I'm under attack.

There are lots and lots of creatures
out there and whole races

of creatures are bound to throw up
everything along the moral spectrum.

Apart from Daleks, they're all bad.

Be exterminated!

Hello.

The Doctor's brand-new, rebooted,
9th incarnation in the shape of

Christopher Eccleston was
the ultimate tough guy Time Lord.

He looked like he would have sorted
out a couple of nightclub bouncers

on a Friday if you need help.

Leather jacket, short hair.

He made it relevant.

It was just cool.
The Doctor was suddenly cool.

MUSIC: "Underdog"
by Kasabian

Suddenly here was somebody
who looked like a bloke.

Somebody who blended
into the background.

So that for a start I thought
was wonderful.

No scarves or bow ties here,
just a leather jacket

and a come-and-have-a-go attitude.

Are you going to witter on all night?

It wasn't important that he was
liked, I liked that.

He looked like a gangster. You know.

NORTHERN ACCENT: I'm not wearing
that scarf.

I'm not wearing that
twiddle bow tie.

I'm wearing black leather
and a T-shirt.

They decided to make it regional,
give him a working class accent.

He's northern, so you just feel
a bit more scared of him.

He's just got that edge.

Swagger, slightly angry.

Sort of had it up to here
with aliens.

I'm busy trying to save
the life of every stupid ape

blundering about on top of this
planet, all right?

- All right.
- Yes, it is!

We'd almost got to the point where
we'd forgotten that there was

a real person inside all those
comic book excesses.

What?

But here was a very serious,
slightly gloomy hero again,

and he brought genuine
proper gravitas

and drama to the part of the Doctor.

And most of that drama
came from the Doctor's dark secret.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am.

You did think,
"What on earth has happened to him?"

The Doctor was traumatised by his
role in The Last Great Time War.

A battle that had wiped out
the Daleks, or so he thought.

Doc...

ter..

Impossible.

THE Doctor?

Exterminate!

Exterminate!

- Let me out!
- Exterminate!

Sir, it's going to kill him.

It's talking!

You are an enemy of the Daleks!

In one of the most memorable
scenes of the series,

it soon becomes apparent that this
Dalek is a dud.

It's not working.

Fantastic.

Oh, fantastic!

Powerless.

Look at you.

The great space dustbin.
How does it feel?

Get back.

What for?

What are you going to do to me?

If you can't kill,
what you good for, eh, Dalek?

Dalek.

What's the point of you?

I was there on set
when Chris was doing this scene

and it's kind of a hard thing to do,
do you know what I mean?

To talk to an inanimate object
and have a sort of duologue with it.

But I think that just shows what
an actor Chris is,

that he pulled it off.

Your race is dead.

You all burn, all of you.

Ten million ships on fire.

The entire Dalek race wiped
out in one second.

The emotional power that he conveys
talking to a Dalek,

I don't think I've ever seen
anything quite as strong as that.

You lie!

I watched it happen.

I made it happen!

You destroyed us?

But this Doctor wasn't all grim,
northern grit...

MUSIC: "Blurred Lines"
by Robin Thicke

This is fantastic.

Fantastic.
Fantastic.

Fantastic. Fantastic.

Yes, he had several reasons to be
cheerful - apart from a brand-new,

all singing, all dancing TARDIS,

he also introduced us to
psychic paper.

Look, I've got an invitation.
Look. There, you see it?

It's fine.
See. "The Doctor plus one."

I'm the Doctor. This is Rose Tyler,
she's my plus one.

Is that all right?

The psychic paper is awesome.

That is something which would be the
coolest thing to have in real life.

Shows them whatever I want them
to see.

Saves a lot of time.

As a teenager, the damage
I would have done with that.

And of course he had his upgraded,
slimline sonic screwdriver.

But the most important addition
to the ninth Doctor's weaponry

was his new companion Rose.

I think when Billie Piper came in,
that kind of changed things,

you know.
You look beautiful.

Cos she was pretty to look at,
but she was, ah...

..she was mean.

Rose was a great companion.

A very modern companion.

Rose was the companion that it
needed to be for the new age.

You see, I'm prepared for anything.

She was just every girl,
Jane Bloggs, you know.

I want chips.
Me too.

That street kid...but got
a job on the TARDIS.

I'm a chav!

See you later,
I got a job on the TARDIS, yeah.

But Rose came with baggage.

Mickey.

Not a lot of good you were.

And when she was forced to
pick between him and the Doctor...

it was a no brainer.

The moment the Doctor appeared,
Mickey never stood a chance.

I think a lot of women maybe
would...

love to be swept off their feet
by a mysterious guy...

maybe not in a blue box...

That would be weird.

Did I mention it also
travels in time.

Poor Mickey, man, in his Ford Focus.

It's no match for a time machine.

The time machine.

Rose and the Doctor battled
farting aliens...

FARTS
Blimey!

..Victorian ghosts and paid a visit
to the end of the world.

But wherever they went there were
two words that kept cropping up.

Blaidd Drwg.

What's it mean?

Bad Wolf.

But I've heard that before.

Bad Wolf.
I've heard that lots of times.

The Bad Wolf storyline,
that was very confusing.

Yes, if we're going to
talk about the ninth Doctor,

then we have to
talk about the Bad Wolf.

The big bad wolf.

You know, all those messages,
but we'll come back to that.

Okey-doke.

So, where were we?

When uber-baddies
the Daleks turn up,

it appears that nothing can
stop them this time.

So the Doctor sends Rose off in the
TARDIS to keep her out of harm's way

while he threatens to go kamikaze
and blow everyone to smithereens.

I'll do it!

Then prove yourself, Doctor!

What are you - coward or killer?

Well, I guess he wasn't such
a tough guy after all.

Coward.

Meanwhile back on Earth, Rose is
starting to realise that

maybe this Bad Wolf thing is
something to do with her.

It's a link between me
and the Doctor.

Bad Wolf here, Bad Wolf there.

Rose knows about the power locked
beneath the TARDIS console,

so she and Mickey break it open.

She then looks into the space time
vortex which gives her

amazing powers enabling her to
save Captain Jack.

And not before she destroys
the Daleks and saves the world.

Rose, you've done it. Now stop.

It also gives her the power to leave
all those messages through her past

to lead her to become the Bad Wolf.

Like I said before...

It's a message.

..it's a pre-destination paradox.

Ah, it's simple really.

Anyway, it turns out that
looking into the time vortex

is really bad for you.

You've got the entire vortex
running through your head.

You're going to burn.

But the Doctor won't let Rose die,
oh, no.

I think you need a Doctor.

He cheekily nabs himself
a kiss from a rose...

which also incidentally
saves her life.

He is saving her,
but it's obviously a part of him...

..where he actually just wants to...

you know, wants to get some
lip on lip action.

Who wouldn't? It's Billie Piper.

Love Billie Piper.

Tell me what's going on.

I absorbed all
the energy from the time vortex

and no-one's meant to do that.

Yes, in true heroic fashion,

our fearless Time Lord
swallows up the vortex

and kicks off his regeneration.

I'm going to regenerate now.
Let's have it.

By the time I got to the end of that
series, I was well in there,

I was hooked on
Christopher Eccleston.

He brought it back
with huge success.

It's a great legacy that he carries.

Christopher Eccleston's
Doctor was amazing.

He's exactly what the show
needed to make it work.

He owned it.
He owned it.

So far in Doctor Who:
The Ultimate Guide...

we've seen nine of the 11 Doctors
in action.

- They've been intelligent...
- It's antimatter.

..courageous,

sometimes a little grumpy...

Mind your own business.

..but always entertaining.

Still to come, our look back
at the Doctors has brought us

- slap-bang into the modern era.
- New teeth.

And as we near the end of our
journey across the Whoniverse,

we're down to out last two Doctors.

And things begin to get
a little darker.

My favourite Doctor...

..it has to be Mr Tennant.

MUSIC: "Yeah Yeah"
by Willy Moon

The tenth Doctor came
crashing down to Earth with a bang

and a whole new appearance.

Here we are then.

It was awesome.

It was amazing.

He just came in and was like
so different.

Good different or bad different?

He's a lot more manic.

Barcelona.

Even in the serious moments.

Ba-da boom!

Someone who looks a certain way
and wears soft shoes

and a tight suit

and larks around a bit.

Exuberant.

Very quirky.

Pulled a lot of sort of faces.

New teeth.
That's weird.

New teeth.

He was a very joyous,
very happy Doctor.

Very energetic Doctor.

But you're also trying to undercut
that with the fact that

he's actually 900 years old.

There's steel in there.

I need you to shut up!

Oh, he hasn't changed that much,
has he?

Despite his crash landing,

the tenth Doctor took a while

- to actually start doing the usual
Doctory stuff. - Help us.

Please, Doctor.

Help us.

I spent a lot of the
Christmas Invasion asleep.

We didn't even get to see
what his Doctor was like

until the critical moment came.

But then I get to show off, I don't
stop speaking for about five pages.

Did you miss me?

Yes, still in his PJs,
he sprang into action

and took on the evil
leader of the Sycorax.

I fight an alien on the wing
of a spacecraft.

Had my hand chopped off
and save the day.

You cut my hand off.

It's an entrance worth waiting for.

Witchcraft!

Want to know the best bit?

This new hand...

is a fighting hand!

The Doc then defeated
his sharp-toothed opponent

and offered him an ultimatum.

I'll spare your life if you'll take
this champion's command.

Leave this planet.

And never return.

What do you say?

Yes.

Swear on the blood of your species!

I swear.

There we are then. Thanks for that.

Cheers, big fella.

Bravo!

But as well know, you never turn
your back on a Sycorax.

Not bad for a man in his jim jams.

And it became clear he wasn't going
to be a Time Lord to mess with.

No second chances.

I'm that sort of a man.

He may be apparently affable,

but you shouldn't underestimate
what lies beneath.

Am I funny?

When he wasn't being ruthless, the
tenth Doctor liked a bit of a laugh.

You are the best
because you are so sick.

Allons-y.

Allons-y.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Allons-y.

Allons-y.

It's French for let's go.

David's a true fan.

I'm brilliant.

And it was genuine.

His own personal joy just to be...

You knew he loved being there.

He wouldn't have wanted to be
anywhere else.

You're stone-cold brilliant.

But the tenth Doctor's reign more
than any previous Doctor

was defined by his relationship
with the ladies.

He loves playing with Earth girls.

This is...very unfairly
levelled at the tenth Doctor,

That he was chasing lots of women.

He absolutely wasn't.

We make quite a couple.

Any kisses that he may have
had in the series,

none of them are romantic.

Oh, yeah?

Women may have fallen for him, but it
didn't work the other way around.

He was scrupulous.

Hold on a minute.

There was Lady Christina,
Madame de Pompadour and uh...

You must be Malcolm.

Even Malcolm.

Oh, I love you.

He deserves
a bit of love in his life.

I love you.

But most importantly there was Rose.

The Doctor and Rose
was a love story really

without any sexual element.

Because that would be wrong,
they were...

clearly devoted to each other.

I always think the Doctors
and their companions end up closer

when they've seen him regenerate.

It's almost like they know him
in an intimate way.

And Rose just got to him and they had
a very unconventional love story

certainly, but I think that's what
it was.

The whole story of David Tennant's
Doctor with Rose was just

so moving and wasn't it like
suddenly the Doctor just came out

of nowhere, fell in love with his
companion and they started snogging.

It was really beautifully done.

Like all good love stories,
it ends in desperate tragedy.

When Rose was thrust
into a different universe,

the Doctor makes the journey over,

allowing Rose to say the words
she'd long to say.

They get to say the goodbye
they were robbed of...

..when they parted.

So in the end there was
a tearful farewell

and the chance to
express their feelings.

I love you.

Quite right too.

Rose tells him that she loves him.

But the Doctor doesn't quite
manage to say it back.

And I suppose...

..it's my last chance to say it.

Rose Tyler...

After the heartache
of the departure of Rose,

it took the Doctor
ages to find some...

Fancy going out?

- Oh, no, it didn't.
- OK.

Medical student Martha Jones was
the next to fall for

the Doctor's charms.

And not before long she was finding

the good looking Gallifreyan
irresistible.

And if you will wear a tight suit...

Now, don't!

..and then travel all the way
across the universe

- just to ask me on a date...
- Stop it.

But with a new girl there's one
thing you never do...

There's something I'm missing,
Martha.

Someone really close.

Rose would know.

..mention the ex.

I felt a bit sorry for Martha cos
she was so into him

and he'd just bang on about Rose.

My friend of mine,

Rose, right now, she'd tell you
exactly the right thing.

Can't you see how
she's in front of your eyes?

With Martha we got to see in a way
the fact that he couldn't understand

what she was looking for,
that sort of alienness.

It didn't happen. Never mind.

Yes, alas, although he had two
hearts,

there was no room in either of them
for his new companion.

But things were complicated

and Doctor yearned for something
more simple...

I just want a mate.

..a friend without benefits.

You just want to mate?

I just want a mate!

You're not mating with me, sunshine.

A MATE! I want a mate!

Well, just as well because I'm not
having any of that nonsense.

With Donna, who just was
his kind of mate

and they rolled about the universe
together having a laugh.

And that was so clever
because it was completely different

kind of companion you got with
the character of Donna.

Yes, Donna Noble abandoned her
nuptials for a life in the TARDIS.

And it was clear from the start
that this was one girl

who wouldn't be giving
the Doctor an easy ride.

Why are you dressed like that for?

I'm going ten pin bowling.

Why do you think, dumbo?!

Before long the self-proclaimed
best temp in Chiswick

found herself battling giant insects
and even brained the odd Sontaran.

Back of the neck.

That button there.

But in her finest hour she defeated
Davros and saved the universe.

Bio electric dampening field with a
retrogressive arc inversion.

Exterminate her!

Oh, yes.

That was a two-way biological
Meta-Crisis.

Half Doctor.

Half Donna.

Doctor Donna.

For Donna to turn into Doctor Donna
right at the end

and her have the whole
explosion of her brain,

she suddenly sees the universe as
the Doctor sees it and it is great.

- Ha! - Someone going to tell us what's
going on?

He poured all his regeneration
energy into his spare hand.

I touched the hand.

He grew out of that,
but that fed back into me.

But it just lay dormant in my head
till the synapses got that

little extra spark kicking them
into life.

A Time Lord's brain
isn't for mere mortals however,

and Donna began to malfunction.

Shall we go and see Charlie Chaplin?
Shall we?

Charlie Chester. Charlie Brown.

No, he's fiction. Friction. Fiction.
Fixing. Mixing. Rixton. Brixton.

The Doctor realised that it was

the end of the road for this
relationship.

Donna's farewell, I felt was more
upsetting, it was more devastating.

Oh, Donna, I am so sorry.

The fact that she's gone on this
journey

and she's seen so many things.

But we had the best of times.

She's grown as a person.

Goodbye.
No. No!

And so the Doctor was forced to
wipe Donna's memory.

I'm just going.

Yeah, see ya.

And Doctor Donna became plain old
Donna from Chiswick again.

But he had plenty of other
stuff to keep himself occupied.

During his time-travels,
he fought old foes, the Cybermen.

Davros and the Daleks.

Tangled with
Professor Lazarus.

Battled some mouth-watering
Martians.

And there was an encounter with

the Weeping Angels you simply
couldn't take your eyes off.

In one episode he even joined forces
with legendary former companion

Sarah Jane Smith and K-9.

But in the history of Doctor's
downfalls,

the story of the demise of the tenth
is a hard one to beat.

It stretches back to a prophecy
foretold

by those handsome chaps the Ood.

I think your song must end soon.

Meaning?

Every song must end.

Yeah.

Your song is ending, sir.

The next bearer of bad news was
a psychic that

- the Doctor met on a bus.
- He will knock four times.

So by the time he next caught up
with Donna's grandfather Wilf,

the Doctor was feeling pretty
grim about his future.

I'm going to die.

He will knock four times.

That was the prophecy.

It appeared that the four
knocks were

the handiwork of his fellow
Time Lords on Gallifrey.

The heartbeat of a Time Lord.

The Time Lords retrospectively placed
this beat in the Master's head

and they used that as a beacon to
pull themselves out of the Time War.

You sticking with this?

Never ever stop, so the drumming,
Doctor, the constant drumming...

And after a ferocious battle
with the Time Lords and the Master,

the Doctor was
the last man standing.

I'm still alive.

Turns out that the four knocks are
Wilf

asking to be let out of a radiation
box.

Something much more mundane
but of course for the Doctor,

much more tragic.

I can do so much more.

So much more!

David Tennant's exit was a classic
Doctor Who exit,

he sacrificed himself.

But then who wouldn't sacrifice
themselves to save Bernard Cribbins?

It's my honour...

I think that is the epitome
of the Doctor to do that.

Better be quick.

Three, two, one.

But before the tenth Doctor
could regenerate,

he had a few goodbyes to say.

Somehow he's managed to extend
his dying moments

to give himself a quick tour of the
galaxy.

We see him seeing Donna again.

We see him seeing Martha
and Mickey and Captain Jack.

Sarah Jane.

All the people that have been
important to him

in this era of his life.

And finishing with Rose, who of
course had meant to much to him.

- You all right, mate?
- Yeah.

Too much to drink?

Yeah, talks to her on the...

..on New Year's Eve, 2004 into 2005.

Which of course is the year she's
going to meet the Doctor

and everything's going to change.

I bet you're going to have a
really great year.

Yeah?

And so the tenth Doctor's
time was up.

David, I think, it was the first
time you saw his two hearts.

It's the battle between the good
side and bad side,

but I think that's the internal
battle of the Doctor.

He quite outrageously sort of made
this sexy, cool, cheeky Doctor,

almost the ladies' man
and he was properly cool.

Female population of the world...

"Oh, Doctor Who."

It shone and what's more it
inspired everybody else.

And that was such a radical
departure for the old Time Lord.

Ten regenerations, countless
villains,

adventures and companions later,

yes, it's time to meet
the present owner of the TARDIS.

It's the 11th Doctor.

Hello.

My favourite Doctor is Matt Smith.

When I heard that they were going to
get a

12-year-old to play Doctor Who,

I was like,
"No, you can't go for young!"

But then when Matt came
along...he was terrific.

Things. Hello. What kind of things?

Interesting things.
I love things. Ask anyone.

I love that energy.
It's youthful of course.

He's like a boffin
and an action hero at the same time.

I think he captures
the character perfectly.

You only live once.

I think he was just born to
play that role.

So what's the 11th Doctor
actually like then?

Spontaneous, I would say.

I'd say he's one of the sillier
versions of the character.

Christmas Eve on a rooftop,
saw a chimney,

my whole brain just went,
"What the hell?"

I love the sheer
brilliance of his physical comedy.

Reminds me of a silent screen
comedian.

I love how he does this...

He definitely played up
the alien aspect.

Time isn't a straight line,
it's all bumpy-wumpy.

There's loads of boring
stuff like Sundays and Tuesdays

and Thursday afternoons.

He's just so...not of Earth.

The 11th Doctor has also become
known

for having an interesting sense
of fashion.

Bow ties are cool.

Bow ties are cool.

Yeah?

Nice bow tie. Thanks.

Bow ties are cool.

He is somewhere on the bow tie axis

between Indiana Jones
and Stan Laurel.

- You look a bit like Matt Smith.
- I think that's why I like him,

I think,
"Ooh, I could be this Doctor."

Glasses are cool, see.

Matt Smith and his quiff.

Yeah, he's got a bit of a quiff.

It's a wicked fashion sense.

Fez, I wear a fez now.

Fezzes are cool.

Fezzes are cool.

I can buy a fez.

The Doctor who genuinely believes
he's cool and is utterly wrong.

Who da man?

Oh...
So, never saying that again. Fine.

The 11th Doctor has faced
a fraught time in the TARDIS,

and has been taken to darker places
than any previous Doctor before him.

Argh!

But with his time in the TARDIS
shortly to come to an end,

where did it all start?

Well, it all began with a little
girl called Amy Pond.

The Doctor literally
crashed into Amy's life.

I mean, he was in a spaceship that
fell out of the sky and crashed

into her back garden when she was
a little girl, only seven years old.

For any seven-year-old,

that's going to be the best thing
that's ever happened.

I'm the Doctor.

Do everything I tell you,
don't ask stupid questions,

and don't wander off.

The Doctor has just regenerated,
which always leaves him a bit mad,

a bit manic.

They had a really lovely time
together,

and they ate fish fingers
and custard at the same time.

I need...fish fingers...

and custard.

Fish fingers and custard actually
does sound like a nice meal.

I'd eat that.

But no sooner had he turned up,
the Doctor was gone again,

leaving Amy wondering where her
raggedy man had disappeared to.

And then he went away for five
minutes and came back,

like 14, 15 years later.

Which is going to have an effect
on a person and how they turn out.

- You're a police woman?
- I'm a kissagram.

- You're Amelia. - You're late.
- Amelia Pond, you're the little girl?

I'm Amelia and you're late.

With our hero back on Earth...

Amy and the Doctor didn't
waste any time,

and got straight to the
business of fighting aliens.

And in his first
extraterrestrial encounter,

the 11th Doctor showed us that he's
not a Time Lord to be trifled with.

The Doctor's competition with
the Atraxi is sort of the moment

where he's finally
got his mojo back.

I'm the Doctor.

'And that's when he's
properly arrived.'

Run.

So, once he's scared off the aliens
and got the key to his TARDIS,

there was only one thing left to do.

Get himself a companion.

And Amy seemed to fit the bill.

Amy was a kick-ass companion.

I mean, I hope -
is it bad to say that myself?

She certainly was. She had to
fiercely do battle with vampires...

Weeping Angels...

and, of course, the Daleks.

My friend reckons you're dangerous.
Is it true?

I wouldn't say
she was totally fearless,

but she certainly dealt with her
fears really well.

Yes, this was one fiery redhead

who certainly knew
the meaning of swashbuckling.

Amy, what are you doing?

Saving your life.
OK with that, are you?

Put down the sword,
a sword could kill us all, girl.

Yeah, thanks, that's actually why
I'm pointing it at you.

But through Amy's adventures we
discover an ugly side to the Doctor,

when he leaves an older version of
Amy behind to save her younger self.

So, he's very silly and funny,
but at the same time,

there's a sort of dark side.

I trusted you!

We learn more about the character,
and learn more about the dark side.

Nobody talk to me. Nobody human has
anything to say to me today!

I mean, if you've been round
the block as much as the Doctor has,

and you've encountered as much
evil as he has,

it may have rubbed off on you.

Then, in The Pandorica Opens,

a legion of his enemies conspire to
lock him away for eternity.

The Pandorica.

More than just a fairy tale.

The Pandorica is the greatest
prison in all of the universe,

and it was actually created
especially to put the Doctor in.

In The Pandorica Opens, as it works
out, all the Doctor's enemies

have got together and realised that
the end of the universe is coming,

and it's going to be
caused by the Doctor.

We will save
the universe...from you!

Seal the Pandorica.

No!

Please, listen to me!

Listen to me!

But then,
the Doctor being the Doctor,

manages to get himself
out of the situation

and ends up putting
Amy in as a form of protection.

Little young Amy,
played by my cousin, Caitlin,

manages to open the Pandorica, and
then finds her older self inside.

And it was a cool moment.

OK, kid.
This is where it gets complicated.

Speaking of complicated,

the other important figure in the
11th Doctor's story was River Song.

Who's River Song?

She's a time-traveller...

who kicks arse.

Tip for you all...

..never shoot a girl
while she's regenerating.

When the Doctor first
meets River Song,

she's someone from his future.

- What is it, though? - Her diary.

Our diary. Her past, my...future.

She's extremely
flirtatious with him.

She knows his name.

And she behaves like she owns him,
and it's very hard to resist the

impression that what you're
meeting is, at some level,

the Doctor's wife.

You may kiss the bride.

I'll make it a good one.

But not only was she the
time-traveller's wife,

she had another bombshell to drop.

Rory and Amy are her parents.

I'm your daughter.

And when the Doctor found her grave,

he still found time for a smooch
with River's ghost.

I guess that's a timey-wimey
relationship for you.

Since nobody else can see you,
God knows how that looked.

So, the 11th Doctor certainly
loved his wife.

But he also had a vengeful side.

Give 'em hell, Danny boy.

I want people to call you
Colonel Runaway.

I want children laughing
outside your door,

cos they've found
the house of Colonel Runaway.

And when people come to you and ask
if trying to get to me

through the people I love...

He's a man of immense power
if he chooses to use it.

Look, I'm angry, that's new.

I'm really not sure what's
going to happen, now.

And there are times
when his great rage

and his impatience can overtake him.

Take it!

Take it all, baby!

Have it!

You have it all!

River always says,

"You can't be on your own,
you need someone to limit you."

You make them so afraid.

When you began,
all those years ago,

sailing off to see the universe, did
you ever think you'd become this?

Realising that there were
a lot of people out to get him,

he conjured up a plan...

to fake his own death.

Amy! Stay back!

A master of escapology
he may have been,

but one of the things he wasn't
so good at was being on his own,

as we found out when his companions'
journey came to an end.

Amy and Rory had the saddest
farewell from the Doctor.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory have a huge
battle with the Weeping Angels

in New York, and then
when they think that it's all done,

at the last moment,
a Weeping Angel gets Rory.

♪ I hear the angels talking
talking, talking... ♪

Doctor?!

Amy is left with a choice, she can
essentially commit suicide

or have herself zapped back in time
to be with her husband.

Just come back into the TARDIS.

Or she could stay with the Doctor,
and she chooses Rory, her husband,

and sacrifices herself to
a Weeping Angel.

Goodbye.

In a moment, in a heartbeat,
they're dead and gone,

then it's just utterly
wretched for him again.

He knows, because he's such a
long-lived time-traveller,

that all friendship is deferred
bereavement,

as far as he's concerned. It's going
to happen, he's going to lose them.

He moves and moves and moves,
cos if he stopped, it would...

He would be very, very upset
about all the things that he's...

All the people he's lost
along the way.

The Doctor shouldn't be alone.

The Doctor can't be alone.

And he wasn't alone for long

before he had a new
travelling companion.

Clara.

Doctor Who?

The Doctor first met Clara after
she'd been turned into a Dalek,

but she died.

Then, as a Victorian nanny,
again, she died.

She died, both times. The same woman!

So, by the third time,

the Doctor was desperate not to
make it a hat-trick.

When he meets her again
and gets a third chance to save her,

he knows there's a mystery
to solve here.

How can he have met the same
person three times?

Right then, Clara Oswald.

Time to find out who you are.

Clara is, on the surface,
very, very sweet.

Doctor...

Bit of a control freak.

You're the boss.

Am I?

No. No!

And when she confronts
the 11th Doctor,

she finds someone
she can manipulate quite easily.

We don't walk away.

She doesn't want to
be on the Doctor's arm

and just running around the universe
with him being a sidekick.

I would like to see...
What I would like to see is...

..something awesome.

But their Doctor-companion
relationship developed,

and it was with Clara

that the Doctor found himself facing
his ultimate fate.

His friends are lost for evermore
unless he goes to Trenzalore.

It's his grave,

the one place he must never
go in the universe is his own grave.

Welcome to the tomb of the Doctor.

Genuinely freaked
and frightened by it.

This a man who travels into the past
and the future all the time,

but on this occasion,

he's travelling into the furthest
recess of his own future.

It turns out that that clever-clogs,
the Great Intelligence,

was planning to wipe the Doctor
from history,

by jumping into his timeline.

But Clara had other ideas.

When she sees the Doctor's timeline
and realises the only way

to save the Doctor is to go
into the timeline and repair it...

Clara...

I don't know where I am.

Clara!

I just know I'm running.

I love the bit where Clara
jumped into the timeline,

because she's another feisty,
brave young character, you know?

I love her, she's brilliant.

And it's here we start to realise
just how important Clara is.

This is the point at which she will
shatter into many different

versions of herself and become
the girl that keeps saving him

throughout his life,
helping him choose the TARDIS,

helping him survive at every point.

Always I'm running to save the
Doctor, again and again and again.

And, hidden in his timeline,

Clara finds the Doctor's deepest,
darkest secret.

He has to keep something back.

We've always thought we've seen
every moment of his life,

seen every face that he's had.

There's a place that...even his
closest companions can't go there.

But at the end
of The Name Of The Doctor,

we realise there's one more Doctor
he simply doesn't talk about,

who somehow doesn't even
count as the Doctor,

and that version of himself is
played by John Hurt.

And, in The Day Of The Doctor,

we're going to find out exactly
what it all means.

So, we've come to the
end of our journey across 50 years

of Doctor Who.

And we've seen the many
faces of our time-travelling hero.

From the action man to the joker.

Am I funny?

From the boffin to the dandy.

From the lothario to the tough guy.

I am a Time Lord.

We've got to know this complex

and unique hero of science
fiction a little better.

Would you care for a jelly baby?

Don't I know you?

Come on then!

Absolutely fantastic.

That's absolutely splendid.

Wait a minute...

You did this!

Gotcha.

And whatever the future
holds for our beloved Doctor,

we can only hope it's going to
be as mesmerising

and full of wonderment
as the last 50 years.

I'll just be off, then.

I remember now.

I remember everything.

It's like seeing it
all for the first time.

Seeing me, me...

The Doctor.

11 faces, hundreds,
thousands of years of space and time.

And now it's all
back in there again.

Ready for our proper holiday?

I don't know
if I deserve a holiday -

you know, I don't know
if I deserve anything.

Not knowing was good.

It was a relief.

So much death, so many...

..friends I've lost.

I mean, how do I carry on?

Because...

Because you've saved
billions of lives,

and every time you go to a place
and there's something wrong,

you could turn and run,
but you don't.

You never do.

You stay. You help.

Wouldn't ANYONE stay and help?

No! And because you don't know that,

and because you'll never
understand it,

- that, my friend, is what makes you
the Doctor. - Ooh.

And that's why you'll never stop.

- You've made me feel better.
- You make everything better.

Now, listen. Don't get soppy,

I will not have soppiness in the
TARDIS, young lady.

Right! OK...

Let's go on holiday, shall we?

- Hold tight. - Woo!
