Doctor Who - Every Doctor's Reaction To Seeing Their New Faces (1966-2023)

[@RoamerTummy]

Notes (read if you care idk): - This video is updated from last year's with clips suggested by commenters and other clips I added to this video, which is why the video is longer. - I'm not planning on updating this video with more clips or when the next Doctor comes, I'd like to move on to other stuff. - I'm not uploading Doctor Who videos on this channel anymore, there's a 2% chance I might upload some on my second channel www.youtube.com/@roamerfunky (which is still not a Doctor Who channel, I'm just more likely to upload there than here). Sub there if you care, unsub here if you care, do what you want. - 15 doesn't specifically react or look at his face in The Giggle or The Church on Ruby Road and I don't see why he would in future episodes, so the closest and only clip for him is his post bi-generation scene. - 14 talks about 10's face returning for basically most of the 60th specials, so I'm just sticking with his initial shocked reaction from The Power of the Doctor. - To the one person who asked, I'm sticking with the telesnaps for The Power of the Daleks for 2's initial reaction and not the animated recreations, I'm just lazy. - I uploaded this video late instead of around when The Church of Ruby Road aired because I was away from my laptop for a vacation abroad for a month and only recently was able to edit and upload this now.

[@MrOmegatronic]

15 might look at his face the "normal" way if there's ever a standard scene where 14 regenerates into 15, but it's just as likely that he wouldn't bother because he already _knows_ what that face is going to look like, and never forgets a face. (Assuming the theory that they're still part of the same timestream as a stable time loop, and that 14 will eventually regenerate into 15 and get sent back in time to his bigeneration is correct, at least.)

[@RoamerTummy]

​@@MrOmegatronic I agree that 15 may already know what he looks like from being 14, but the only issue I have with that theory is that 15 himself appears confused from the bi-generation (saying "No way!" and "Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?!"), which wouldn't be the case if 15 already knew everything that happened from 14. Basically, I think it's the same as past multi-Doctor events where past Doctors don't remember the most recent Doctor and the events with them but they still remember everything afterward (hence 15 still benefiting from 14's backward rehab). As for the potential for 14 properly becoming 15 in the future, we'll see if that happens.

[@MrOmegatronic]

That's a very good point, @@RoamerTummy. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, yeah.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

​@RoamerMonkey at the moment, I'm actually wondering if the bigeneration is the origin point for the Valeyard; it would explain why there were effectively 2 Doctors running around at that point, and certainly _feels_ like something RTD would include in the series.

​@@ericemanwu Ten wasn't resisting it per-say compared to Twelve, Ten was going to say goodbye to everybody that "he" knew, whereas Twelve refused to regenerate until he and his first incarnation helped save the earth again and made the first doctor realize that he will meet him again "the long way around" and that both were weary, tired and ready to regenerate from old age, which is why when you watch Twelves regeneration compared to Tens, Tens does quite a bit of damage but never touches the TARDIS control panel. Twelve's regeneration however DOES hit the TARDIS control panel and the vortex itself, which is why when the newly regenerated thirteen pressed a button, the TARDIS threw her out and just demateralised in front of her whilst she was falling down to earth which thankfully she as Ten said - "I'm still within my twelve hours of my regeneration!", she was able to survive the fall into the train. I think it was a case of Thirteen realizing that she didn't want to damage the TARDIS or it's center control panel as she went outside to regenerate into fourteen.

[@TaeSunWoo]

Yeah I’m pretty sure it takes a few days for each incarnation to shake off the last one after regenerating. Like how 11 in the 11th Hour was more like a quirky 10th Doctor and he hadn’t fully settled into his “I love bow ties and fezzes” self

They are all essentially the same person, they just pick up a few new personality quirks I always think of Peter's line "I didn't need to, that was me talking, i'm not on the phone I'm right here, you can't see me you look at me but you can't see me"

[@Icelandic_Sand]

​​@@unclekarl5219 I don't think that's what they meant. I think they mean that the doctor is still expecting to see their last face in the mirror so it's a shock when their current one shows up until they get used to it. My personal take (disregarding the timeless child) is that the doctor has ALWAYS mentally pictured themself as Hartnell, at least when not looking in a mirror. He was their first incarnation and the one they spent the longest time as (canonically).

[@ShadowKamehameha32]

"Chin...B L I M E Y" I love how Smith delivers that line 😂

[@TheTrytix]

I've never watched Doctor Who myself. But I will say I think the idea of having a character that changes faces every time they need a new actor, and they acknowledges that "Yes my face is now different.", giving it an explanation for why this happens, I find that to be an ingenious idea in on itself. And from what I can see and tell, I think each individual actor does a rather phenomenal job on acting the same precise odd way, since they are all the same character, they just regenerate and changes their face every now and then. I love when they give logical in-universe explanations as to why something is or happens.

​@@sumthingwikked4257 True, but I stand by my original comment. 🙂

[@retnavybrat]

We never did get an in-universe explanation as to why Thirteen's clothes changed along with her body, did we?

[@RoamerTummy]

Nah, not really. Kind of similar to 2's clothes also changing when regenerating from 1, so at least it's consistently inconsistent.

[@Knighttt662]

My Headcanon is that the toymaker did it. He gave back the Doctor his most Human and Vulnerable version

[@GenGamesUniverse]

Regeneration energy basically changed the clothes. But in actual fact, it was RTD who refused for David to wear Jodie's outfit even though in the episode, Sasha wears the clothes briefly as "The Master Doctor" before wearing an amalgam of the previous doctors outfits - seventh doctor's sweater, tenth doctor's coat, fifth doctor's colour changing celery, the first doctor's trousers and the fourth doctor's scarf. He even used the second doctor's recorder whilst stranded after Yaz took the TARDIS back from him in order to get the doctor her body back and put The Master back into his body.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

@@RoamerTummy The only ones not to show themselves in their predecessors clothes were third doctor (abit briefly at the beginning of Spearhead from Space where it's shown he's wearing 2nd doctor's outfit after he exits the TARDIS and falls unconscious in the field, Eighth Doctor since he was "presumed dead" after they tried to operate on him and Seven wanted to regenerate but died from anaesthetic after giving the scream which was the reason why Eight was amnesiac and took a long while to regenerate. You could say Fourteen didn't regenerate with thirteens clothes on either.

[@aliceharper707]

I found Doctor who in the '70s and Jon pertwee was my first doctor. When I came back a few months later to watch it and I saw Tom Baker, I said who is this clown? That's not the doctor at all! He finally grew on me and I ended up loving him but it was a shock because I didn't understand what the premise of the show was as I'd only seen like two or three episodes before Tom Baker took over the roll.

[@etienneporras7252]

I loved the pattern for years of the doctor getting physically younger and younger with each regeneration, even though it was always unsustainable.

[@NauticaSea217]

3rd has always been polite in his mannerisms, which is why he makes a good Doctor in this sense. He's polite and gentlemanly - But that's The Doctor anyway! lol

I love how 12 took an entire episode to regain himself as opposed to the others who just kind of woke up and were fine.

[@julieeverett7442]

not really, they all had their confusion

[@LevonBlueoak]

I'm not sure if this is confirmed, but I like to think it's because 12 is the first of the new regeneration cycle the Time Lords gave him. As the Daleks said, there are rules, and while the Doctor breaks them, there are consequences, like his mind not being setup for another regeneration.

[@lord_egg]

@@LevonBlueoak *weeps in timeless child*

[@LevonBlueoak]

@@lord_egg yeah. Sucks too, because I actually liked Jodie and 13 in a general sense. I liked the contrast between 12, which made sense with him moving on, and even keeping with my thing about the new cycle, I liked the dynamic of 13 being female with how it played with the typical interactions with people, particularly companions. Sad that Chibnall did what he did.

[@midgetwars1]

can you imagine if Kate wasn't told this was 14 and then was absolutely shocked not to see 11 show up?

[@GenGamesUniverse]

She didn't get told though, but she knew it was The Doctor seeing as how she's already met seven incarnations of them - War, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen and Fifteen - War was in Day of the Doctor even though he didn't technically meet her Ten was in the Day of the Doctor Eleven was in The Power of Three and then again in Day Of The Doctor Twelve was from the Cybermen episode where it was revealed Missy was The Master Thirteen was from Power of the Doctor Fourteen was from The Giggle Fifteen was from The Giggle and both Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death. The ones she never met were - First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth doctor incarnations.

I wonder if all timelords have such contempt for their past forms, or is it a personality disorder on his part

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

Tenth was fond of Fifth to be fair, and Twelfth was giddy over meeting First. Granted, those were more the actors than the characters as in both cases it was the current Doctor meeting their favourite.

[@jeanmichellelaurent]

[@michaeldemarco9950]

I read in one of the old novels (The Deadly Assassin, I think) that most Timelords’ regenerations trend older and more distinguished as they go through life, and their incarnations are much closer to type. The Doctor is different than most Timelords’ in that his regenerations are random.

[@Z3DT]

@@michaeldemarco9950 Timeless Child has *many* flaws, but at least it explains this mystery somewhat. In case you're unaware and are planning on watching 13's run still, spoilers below: The Doctor isn't just *a* Timelord. They're *the* Timelord. The original one, as in, the first one to regenerate, ever (though the reason for this is the part a lot of people have problems with). The ability was then reverse-engineered and given to the elite Gallifreyans with a hard limit on twelve regenerations. The Doctor, however, doesn't have that limit and can regenerate indefinitely. There were several, possibly hundreds of Doctors before the First, and we meet one of them, called the Fugitive Doctor, in 13's run. The Doctor's memory was at some point wiped, they regenerated into an infant, and were then raised as a normal prospective Timelord.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

The guard that The Doctor shoots and kills when she fully regenerates into a female from male incarnation, she says something along the lines of "God, I am so glad to not be a man anymore!"
