DOCTOR WHO - REMEMBERING WILLIAM HARTNELL (his FILM & TV CAREER (1938-1973)

[@AnthonyEdwards-wc7ut]

What a brilliant actor he was. Never knew he was in so many films. RIP William

[@David19553]

Informative. Live long and prosper.😇🖖

[@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6]

You can really see how much he was struggling in that Life with Johnny clip. He was so controlled and quick in the other clips before his health started to betray him at the end of his run on Who. What a treasure.

[@Budbrothers420]

Couldn’t even tell who bill is in most of these until the camera’s on him what a great actor

[@whocrusader5179]

His voice is different than when he got old

[@MrGyges]

The complete actor: sometimes forgotten, often overlooked ,or ignored but ,when called upon, always in command of his craft.

[@Radio_entelechy]

This is great! Thank you for putting all these cips together ❤️

[@johngurnhill8743]

Happy 60th anniversary Doctor who.

[@chrisdavie8163]

When you look at all of these roles he done here, it's an utter myth he just played sergeant major roles. He had a massive variety of roles to play. Where can I get that Life With Johnny episode? That's a rarity. I believe it used to be on KZbin but the account is no longer here.

[@nigelwalker6103]

I would love to find it too. I've seen it but can't find it anywhere now.

[@ponchoman49]

What a great actor. It's both sad and shocking how much he deteriorated between 1969 and 1972 when he reprised his roll as the first Doctor. Even his voice sounds like someone in their 80's not mid 60's. He passed away at the age of 67 as did the second Doctor Patrick Troughton and the word lost two great character actors. It was very enjoyable seeing him in most of his film appearances.

[@Johnny_Seven]

Great actor. R.I.P. Bill.

[@nigelwalker6103]

He really was a great character actor.

[@agedwards63]

Will any Gentleman? 1953 Brother Charley (Jon Pertwee) the 1st and 3rd Doctors meet onscreen 20 years before the 10th anniversary special, did anyone notice a blue police box about?

[@bendream544]

Dial 999 also features Patrick Troughton another meeting of two doctors before they played the role

[@finnsempire5671]

@@bendream544 so Hartnell actually hired Troughton for the job himself to be the doctor 😮

[@matthwe3468]

William Hartnell was a brilliant Doctor but besides that he was a great actor in his own right.

[@Steven_Andreyechen]

Really great compilation!

[@RedwoodTheElf]

He did have a bit of a reputation for playing tough guys before Doctor Who...I read a biography that described him as "The British James Cagney"

[@professorakiba434]

I am surprised. I looked but you didn't include the Mouse that Roared?

[@finnsempire5671]

Me: good morning Hartnell: attention quick march me Myself: old fuss pot Me: what should I do in the uk You are the wisest oldest first me tell me what you think my destiny should be Bill: focus on your education first before deciding my boy 😊

[@jwiking62]

Is there a video like this for every Doctor?

[@coldacre]

Hartnell acted in 75 movies. none of the other actors had a career as long as him.

[@jwiking62]

​@@coldacre Sure but would be cool to see these older doctors in other roles since a lot of their roles are in relativeöy obscure films and shows today.

[@communityrags6048]

That's Cliff Richard in the second-to-last one?

[@haileyshannon7548]

“I’m the star!”

[@robalexander8065]

William Hartnell died in 1975.

[@michaelway7936]

Actually he passed in 1975,a bit of an error there

[@doctorwhomatrix2677]

1938-1973 relates to the clips, not his date of birth and death

[@michaelway7936]

@doctorwhomatrix2677 at the end it mentioned 1908 - 1973

[@RedwoodTheElf]

You missed "The Mouse Who Roared" from 1959. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXyyl6ejjKx6js0
