Doctor Who - 4th Doctor Regeneration scene | Comparison Logopolis and Castrovalva [READ DESCRIPTION]

This is a comparison of the 4th Doctor's regeneration in Logopolis and in the beginning of Castrovalva.
You can choose the episode you want to listen to with headphones. Logopolis = Left ear | Castrovalva = Right ear.
Sorry for the delay, I put this together in a hurry so it's not of the best quality.
Thanks to the KZbinr ‪@CultOfThirteen‬ for the extracts.

i don't know why this video got so many views but thanks lol

[@thetasigma412]

I actually love both versions. Logopolis' music makes it feel like a last farewell to the old Doctor, while I feel like Castrovalva's music gives it the feeling of something new being born.

[@SadBnnuy]

I like Castrovalva since its like you're experiencing it in real time. The montage thing is nice for 4s end though

[@sola_is_chilling]

its also like youre experiencing it in 4fps

[@DavidLye-no4ht]

I always love the way Tom is wearing calf length boots with his trousers tucked in, but Peter is wearing brown brogues with plus fours and argyle socks. I noticed it back then and I notice it every time since.

[@Doctorwhoenjoyer]

Well the boots were toms own boots

[@grg-productions]

I like the intro music transition in the Castrovalva version, because its like it's one song, because both tracks have the same bpm, it transitions really well. I love it when shows do that

[@dangerman5617]

The saddest day in Doctor Who. The series was never the same after Tom's excellent, and very alien, portrayal of the Doctor.

[@TimelordUK]

I agree 100%

[@doctordeej]

Always disliked the Castrovalva ‘Edit’, but then I was ‘in mourning’ for Tom’s portrayal, indeed I still haven’t really got over it!

[@paulashe61]

Now the Doctor can fall from space through a train roof and still survive

[@GrayZStarsFortniteFilms]

Definitely glad they re-recorded that "He was the Doctor all the time" line, it felt so out of place

[@nekusakura6748]

Sarah Sutton has nothing but my sympathy for having to be the one to deliver that forced Expostion dump.

[@CameronKiesser]

They should do this to get rid of the bi-generation headache later on. Have 14 absorb into 15 for 16 to come.

[@HaloPrime212]

Russell has stated that 14 did still go on adventures but would inevitably meet his end, idk if that means he’ll regenerate into 15 and pop back up when he bi generated but I don’t think he’ll be used for 16ths appearance

[@Kryojenix]

I am using The Watcher to retcon a LOT of stuff when I'm in charge!!! And it's all canon because it's from 1980s Classic!

[@thejordyoshi]

Ah yes, the semi-generation.

[@johnrenard-lx8og]

nice !

[@josephchambers2000]

So they made the music not as good, had the actors give a duller performance and cut out the companion montage…why?

[@ClintBandito]

I mean cutting out the companion montage makes sense, Castrovalva is Peter's opener, not Tom's goodbye.

[@htershane]

The programme hadn’t been on air for 9 months (the longest gap between series at that point). No on-demand, catch-up, streaming or purchase options back then so this was just a brief “refresher” before we started with Peter in earnest. The music was by the same composer, tweaked to be more upbeat to reflect introducing a new Doctor as opposed to saying goodbye to an old one and what would be the point of showing a montage of the 4th Doctors companions to greet the 5th? Nothing was re-shot so the actors are literally giving the exact same performance they did in “Logopolis”.

[@josephchambers2000]

@htershane You listen to the two times Adric says Doctor, it sounds like the second version was dubbed over to make it sound less desperate.

[@htershane]

@@josephchambers2000 in Logopolis Adric says “Doctor” twice, the second is more urgent so they just used chopped the first one for the Castrovalva edit.

[@Synthpopper]

JNT. Don't question it

[@kenhartono5956]

My left earphone is broken

[@_Appled_4]

oh sorry

[@TimelordUK]

Even now when I watch this is makes me so sad, because I know what the future is. For me it was downhill from here on

[@alexlazebat839]

and then the next scene looks nothing like logopolis eps

[@phillydisc9708]

Doctor....doctor.....doctor....doctor....

[@_Appled_4]

doctor....

[@mikusguitarius]

“He was the doctor all the time” always sounds like a post production overdub…?

[@therealpbristow]

Yep. The Castrovalva one definitely is a re-record, and I suspect the original delivery in Logopolis was a last minute overdub as well, when test-viewing left people confused about what had just happened. (I haven't checked that, though, so I stand ready to be corrected.)

[@mikusguitarius]

@@therealpbristow makes sense 👍

[@TexasTimeLord]

Kind of lame for the 4th Doctor to die from a fall onto soft ground 10th Doctor fell from a moving space ship high in the sky through a glass skylight onto a hard floor and recovered Of course, 6th Doctor was the absolute worst, with a slight bump while inside the TARDIS

[@lesigh1749]

That is because the old show took physics seriously most of the time while RTD wrote his show like a cartoon.
