Doctor Who In Memoriam 2023

[@markhayward7400]

I found this very moving to watch. Many of those we lost were not major players or actors in Dr Who either in front or behind the TV cameras, but they all contributed, they all gave their talents, they all made moments that mattered. You have honoured them all, and enabled us to do the same.

[@johnrider5701]

So many old friends are gone. It's a reminder to appreciate those that love while they are with us and to live every day as if it's our last..

[@derekhart3308]

What a lovely tribute to the cast, and various production teams to writers, artists and not forgetting a very good Friend Richard Franklin. RIP.

[@KraalThal]

Wonderful work as ever Toby. They will all be remembered for their contributions to Doctor Who. Great timing too: • "I went to the doctor..." - the ophthalmologist from The Invisible Enemy • "He said girl..." - Marius' Nurse from the same story. • 5:32 Reverend Ernest Matthews complaining that he has been ringing for attention since before six o'clock, almost like it's now near the sixth minute here. Also, the merging with Mrs. Pritchard, both characters being from Ghost Light. • "All the flowers that you planted mama" - the Doctor balancing a plant pot on his head. Glad to have been a help again.

Met Richard Franklin a good few years ago at comic con and he signed my TARDIS. He was so wonderful and lovely

[@paulhunter6178]

Each year these tributes get a little harder to watch, mainly because actors from the early years are of the same vintage as my parents. Each year these memoriam are released and I am still blessed to still have my parents, I feel a slightly heavier heart knowing my fortune cannot continue. Until such time .... thanks for the memories. Even the smallest part in the biggest of television programmes was momentous. Thank you, each and every one! xx

[@ewanmorgan9000]

Well done Toby. We all have a great love for this programme with so many making so many contributions towards it in all sorts of different ways. Thank you.

[@brianthesnape]

Thanks for doing these every year, Toby. As always, tasteful, respectful, insightful, what a great tribute to those who have passed on. Just wiping some tears from my eyes.

[@drwho-hj1pu]

Thank you for letting us know Rest in peace everyone🙏

[@adamhenley8295]

A truly beautiful tribute - and it always hurts the more when we only discover some deaths years afterwards Thanks Toby ❤

[@Tom-nf9jr]

Come for me annual viewing Toby. So sad but so lovely put together. Big thank you again.

[@sabrinatirabassi3529]

Saw it already on patreon, but can't miss the opportunity to give you another like...

[@RobinPrichard]

A fitting and beautifully constructed tribute. Very fine work, Toby.

[@imp84]

Absolutely beautiful Toby. Particularly haunting due to the wonderful music. An amazing choice.

[@TobyHadoke]

Thank you x

[@brianartillery]

Respectfully done, as always, Toby. Thank you. It was a bit of a shock to me to see Kevin O'Neill's appearance on the list - he was comic book royalty, as far as I'm concerned. His work with Alan Moore, on the frankly astonishing 'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen' was a towering achievement. And let's not forget 'Nemesis The Warlock', and 'Marshal Law', either.

[@cassidyuk]

Kev was a bonafide Genius

[@ulsteredz]

The late actor Derek Hunt was a good friend of mine, and I can tell you that he looked back on his work on Doctor Who with great fondness. Thank you for including him, Toby. RIP

[@TobyHadoke]

Thank you x

[@drewd1968]

I look forward to these videos every year but it also fills me full of dread at the losses

[@chriswinwood6501]

Same

[@LukeNyul]

Another excellent tribute Toby! I'm always shocked by how many Who luminaries we've lost each year...it makes me realize how many wonderful individuals worked on our favourite little show :)

[@chriswinwood6501]

Good stuff as always, Toby. Shocked to see Jennifer Hill here, I didn’t know she had gone. And Laurie Haldeman: I will always love her wonderfully daft book.

[@2001davebowman]

A beautifully put together piece. Respectful and tasteful.

[@MrChristiangraham]

Once again, lovely work Toby. Thank you for your efforts.

[@KevinJonDavies]

Beautifully done, as ever. Thanks Toby.

[@TobyHadoke]

Thanks mate x

[@derrenlodge6502]

What a beautiful piece of work,Toby. Very fitting,a big thank you from everybody.

[@ArchieAndy27]

Thank you for such a beautiful tribute! Dinny Powell also worked on films such as Brazil, Mission Impossible, Goldeneye and Superman. It was such a shock to hear of Richard Franklin's passing on Xmas morning 😢

[@Super_Mario128]

Wonderful as ever Toby, really sad to hear about Richard Franklin.❤❤

[@UKISOCIETY]

Tears. Lovely video and excellent research. I'm very grateful for all who worked on classic Who.

[@richd6362]

Great tribute. RIP

[@kerravon2527]

I'm normally on top of your content Toby, but came to it late this time, but wanted to reiterate how valuable these are. Thankyou.

[@TobyHadoke]

I appreciate that! Thank you x

[@redline296]

Wow! Great work!!

[@caragroves7196]

what a very good job on this one as it is great work i give you 1,000,000,000 out of 10 great show and keep it up

[@karlclemmy2054]

Wonderfully put together, beautiful work Toby, they'll always be remembered by all Who fans

[@PlanetoftheDeaf]

Brilliantly done as ever.

[@richardmattocks]

So many names… 😢 Beautiful tribute to all RIP

[@gavinpeacock1601]

Thank you Toby. Beautifully put together

[@blaynejensen1488]

I have been waiting for this yearly tribute and dreading it equally.

[@timlemmens1087]

Bernard Cribbins and Richard Franklin, two old soldiers who left us for good. (Yes, Cribbins died the year before, but 2023 was his final preformance on screen, so I mention it here.) And Sir Michael Gambon hit extra hard, being a Potterhead AND a Whovian.

[@Richard_D_Riley]

Toby - as always, thank you so much for this beautiful tribute

[@murraymckay5183]

Thank you

[@ANIMUS.STUDIOS]

Rest in peace. To all of them.

[@richardryan1846]

As ever this is brilliantly produced and researched...thank you.

[@TheGamingStarfish]

Wonderful Toby, thank you. ♥

[@ruthmayorcas9929]

Fabulous - and great choice of music. I thought Stanley Appel was something big on Top of the Pops - had no idea he was to do w Cameras.

[@ksay7649]

lovely, thanks as always

[@rjohn4143]

And thanks to you too Toby for this moving tribute

[@OldCodeMonkey]

A brilliant tribute to all those who have given us so much pleasure over the years and continue to do so ❤ (Paul - WhoNews)

[@Alpha-oo8]

Had no idea we had lost sergeant quick… and three years ago, no less.

[@roryhazlie753]

Terrence Hardiman the demon headmaster. Watched that when I was growing up.

[@mikeyandwho]

Lovely tribute 😢 x

[@timelordvictorious]

very sad our mike yates died gone but not forgotten.

[@rebornitsybitsy7515]

Welcome back to you tube

[@roryhazlie753]

Murray Melvin was in the film version the phantom of the opera played the conductor

[@myles1976jm]

So many familiar faces. Truly sad.

[@myles1976jm]

Terrence Hardiman would have made an excellent Rassilon in a live tv story.

[@stephentaege6255]

Blimmey most of the actors had a good innings sadly Lesley and matt didn't rip everyone 🙏🕯️😔 cheers Stephen 🍀🍀✌️✌️

[@johnhall3570]

Lovely, lovely, lovely, Mister Hadoke!

[@Kryojenix]

Very poignant to have Sinead O'Connor singing in the background, since she passed away in 2023 also. Nicely done.

[@stoogeswoman]

Sorry, please disregard the comment i just left. I hadn't realized Bernard Cribbins died in 2022, not 29023. Sorry!

[@Queeratheistandhappy]

❤

[@sabrinatirabassi3529]

By the way, didn't know about Richard Franklin. Was it recent?

[@h0lly_blue]

yeah he passed on or around Christmas Day IIRC, all I know is that I saw the announcement after the DW Christmas special

[@ftumschk]

Christmas morning, I believe.

[@tomcarter8604]

Richard Franklin died in his sleep on Christmas Day

[@Eltonlaleham]

A shame Richard Franklin is gone

[@sabrinatirabassi3529]

How sad must have been for Peter Day to see that his Davros design was de-canonized the very year he died. I hope he didn't see that happening...

[@garyheron]

Thank you Toby for this marvelous tribute to all those we have lost. I particularly impressed by the range of people you cover as everyone of them has made a contribution to the show we love. You have done them all proud and should be congratulated.

[@Powerslave62]

beautifully done as always, Toby. Thank you
