Peter Davison was asked at a con once what the oddest thing a fan has ever given to you - he replied a grandchild

[@johnellisbushbush]

Iain 97 that’s a great answer, well played Peter Davidson

[@prof.lazarus2438]

I thought it was someone in the audience shouting “a grandchild” and him just laughing

[@cargo71]

@@prof.lazarus2438 I saw the video, and it was a fan who shouted that....

Okay the 5th Doctor is now my favorite Doctor that isnt Capaldi XD

[@Hudson112]

What’s funny about Paul McGann being in this, is that he already knew he was going to be doing “Night” but he had to keep it a secret from the others, so it’s kind of awkward watching it back knowing that. The “filming commitments” line is unintentionally accurate.

[@SpectrumStorms]

If I'm not mistaken, not only did he know he was going to do it, but he had already finished it before doing this.

[@wobaguk]

I dont know if it plays now, but John Barrowman is a very postive 'out' gay celebrity, so the joke was 'outing' him has being secretly straight with a wife and kids which is a satirical inversion of what previously happened with actors the other way round.

[@Rmlohner]

The meta gag with Ian McKellan's scene is that he and Sylvester have been very good friends for decades, having come up in theater together.

[@Payne2view]

Olivia Coleman was in the first Matt Smith episode. Also the woman who told Peter Davison to wake-up was the actress who played Tegan, an assistant in his era.

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4575]

Peter Davison got this idea because fans kept asking him if he was going to appear in The 50th Anniversary at a convention

[@magicalmrwest]

One change I would make to this would be when they’re in the hospitality suite and McCoy says “it’s probably for tv, not like it’s a motion picture” I’d have gotten McGann to say off screen “I WAS in a motion picture!” and McCoy responds “yes... I was in that one as well”.

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4575]

That phone call from Tom Baker wasn’t actually him it’s somebody doing an impression

[@josefschiltz2192]

Jon Culshaw is the usual suspect.

[@ftumschk]

@@josefschiltz2192 It was Culshaw. Here's a favourite clip of him in action: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2bPl5WDp52ap9E

Shows how good the impression was when they think it was really Tom Baker

[@thomasnieswandt8805]

They couldnt reach Tom becaus he WAS filming the 50th :P Also Paul McGann had filmed his part of the 50th, at the Time. He said "I couldnt tell anyone, when we started filming the reboot, i felt bad for these guys"

[@iansmith4023]

Emma Peel was the Avengers sidekick your Dad was thinking of - played by Diana Rigg (her breakout role).

[@josefschiltz2192]

And the very first colour episode of The Avengers, 'From Venus With Love' with Diana Rigg, also had a role for Jon Pertwee who played a character - Brigadier Whitehead - recording his war memoirs, complete with sound effects.

[@gluuuuue]

Diana Rigg, aka Lady Olenna Tyrell!

[@richardlemin7840]

But does anyone remember Honor Blackman in The Avengers? ~ Dad

[@josefschiltz2192]

@@richardlemin7840 Yep. Honor and Diana. Both very classy ladies. Honor's time was black and white, so was Diana's first season. My first enduring memory of Honor was, also, my first sight of Anneke Wills, who was with Pat in Doctor Who. An episode of The Avengers with a costume party on a train called 'Dressed To Kill' Before Honor, the main characters were John Steed and Dr. David Keel, respectively Patrick MacNee and Ian Hendry. This, however, predates my own memory of the series. We had repeats a few years back and a handy companion book now gives me the details missing from my own memory files!

[@thomasleedham6572]

This was originally meant to only meant to be ten minutes long but Davison couldn't cut it down past thirty minutes and when the higher ups asked if he could cut it further its said if it would be cut down further he would tell the fans it should have been longer which stopped them asking.

[@dwilborn1257]

Tom Baker's appearance in Day of the Doctor was the best kept secret in DW history

[@andykey78]

I was at the 50th celebration at the Excel on the day of broadcast and Tom was quite openly saying at panels that he was in it but I think everyone thought he was joking!

[@HaaruteLIVE]

I love this spoof, so I'm glad you two decided to sit down and watch it! So many inside jokes and references for fans, it's great!

[@sallystrawberry8927]

6:31 Dame Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in the Avengers. She also portrayed Winifred Gillyflower in the Doctor Who television story The Crimson Horror. Her daughter, Rachael Stirling, portrayed her character's daughter in that episode

[@iansmith4023]

The Doctor Who Experience is sadly no more :(

[@lawrencegough]

A series of Paul McGann as Eight would be the best thing the BBC could do with the show at the moment.

[@daffy8995]

Not only was Olivia Colman in The Eleventh Hour with Matt Smith, but she starred opposite David Tennant for three seasons of Broadchurch.,

[@somthingbrutal]

sean pertwee is of course john's son.

[@moreau1755]

And one of the Dalek operators was David Troughton, son of Patrick Troughton (and occasional guest star on Doctor Who in his own right). Another was Nick Briggs, voice of Daleks, Cybermen, etc. The last one was Frank Skinner, a comedian who is a massive Doctor Who fan, but who hasn't appeared in any of the episodes Alex has watched.

[@somthingbrutal]

@@moreau1755 so many cameos, i did like seeing tegan pop up

My Grandfather lived close to Tavistock for some time so I've driven through it once. Lovely place from what I remember.

[@Carwyn.Morris]

The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff is now closed. As far as I know there are plans to reopen it in Cardiff Castle but I haven't heard anything for a long time.

[@scottwilkinson8378]

Peter Jackson very publicly signed a contract to direct a Capaldi episode of Doctor Who . . . but it didn't come to owt . . .

[@space1999]

There were quite a few classic who companions in this.... also regards the 3 dalek operators one was frank skinner a famous uk comedian who's also a massive whovian and actually will guest star on a peter capaldi episode, and another was the guy that voices the daleks and cybermen since who came back nicholas briggs

[@jacobhogan3208]

I always forget about the schedule then I get really excited when I see it.

[@battlegirldeb]

The funny thing about John B. is the IRL he is gay and has a very good looking husband. You can see a lot of videos on KZbin of him singing. My favorite are from the 1999 cast of Putting It Together which was filmed and put on DVD in 2001.

[@daffy8995]

He always ends his comic con appearances with a song.

[@iain9757]

Ooh I forgot about “The Light at the End” Big Finish 50th anniversary, it’s funny as that’s 2 hours long but for Big Finish 20th they had a 6 hour realise “The Legacy of Time” and for the Masters 50th birthday also a 6 hour epic

[@Jake-pr7js]

Masterful was only 3 hours actually

[@aidanschannel7183]

Still to this day my favourite aspect of the 50th.

[@JoshuaHillmanatorHillman]

On a sad note, the Doctor Who experience shut down a few years ago. When I went, it had 11's first Tardis, 5's Tardis, and 10's. They also updated it afterwards so that it had stuff from 12. But you should still visit Cardiff, in particular the Bay, as you'll recognise a whole load of shooting locations from Doctor Who, Torchwood, and even The Sarah Jane Adventures. There's even a shrine, as I'm sure others have told you, initially for Ianto, then more for the show as a whole, and the fallen of Torchwood 3. Your dad is right about Peter Jackson. In fact, he's previously stated that he wants to direct for the show, and with no fee, just as long as the BBC give him a Dalek.

[@josefschiltz2192]

Ah bliss! Glad you're both reacting to this.

[@anthonyellis987]

Sadly the Doctor Who Experience has now closed, but there are exhibitions elsewhere like Blackpool.

[@jamestoney6108]

It's a beautiful love letter

[@HellfireComms]

News of RTD's return has made me nostalgic so I'm going around old episode reactions. I hope they do something like this for the 60th!

[@MrPaulMorris]

The colour recon is based on publicity and set shots while the black and white is based on contemporary 'telesnaps' off-air screen shots. Although the colour version is obviously better looking it has far fewer images to play with so can be a bit repetitive. The black and white version was actually produced after the colour as the telesnaps were only discovered some years later. I've watched both and prefer the b&w for its greater variety. It's definitely worth looking at the colour, however, to see the impressive costumes and sets that were reckoned to be among the best of the early years--presumably building on the BBC's existing expertise (and resources) in producing historical stories.

[@seedhillbruisermusic7939]

I'm not from Tavistock but I'd love to talk to your dad, he's so cool

[@richardlemin7840]

[e-mail]

[@ilovecatweazle]

One of the big reasons why there are missing episodes is the cost of the tapes. They were re-used. It wasn't just the cost that b&w remained for such a long time but colour tv's were seriuosly expensive. In fact a large part of the population, including my household, hired their tv's. Even when in 1970 Doctor Who was in colour I never got to see anything in color till the late 1970s when got our first colour tv.

[@anthonyellis987]

I've never seen this spoof and now I want to see it. I hope Paul returns for the 60th.

[@zvimur]

The color situation has a good example in.Lost in Space show. Switched from BW to CLR between seasons.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

Star Trek was marketed specifically to NBC by Desilu Studios as a color show. It's part of the reason it got picked up. That's why all the uniforms and planets had wild colors.

[@timrob12]

12:07 - There is a subtle joke there, that TVTropes has pointed out there, where the supposed "fat" Doctor (No offense to Colin) is the only one not exhausted after running. And it's implying that that is because he did I'm A Celebrity on TV and is used to doing things like that now. Maybe some of you caught on to it, maybe some you didn't, but I thought it would be fun to point out. Also, I have to correct you, but it wasn't "The Voice of Tom Baker". Davison tried to contact him, but he didn't reply back, so they picked that scene from The Five Doctors to make up for it and then got impressionist Jon Culshaw to imitate Tom's voice for the phone message.

[@space1999]

I think your dad would love an adventure in space and time...

[@Hudson112]

7th Hour Films Colin Baker is the only one they weren’t able to watch in some shape or form. They wouldn’t have been able to appreciate it.

[@7thHourFilms]

Maybe one day they'll watch more Classic stuff. I'd love to them watch the cavemen eps.

[@Hudson112]

7th Hour Films The problem about it is, as great as they are, they wouldn’t be able to look past all the effects or how slow-paced the episodes are. They don’t seem to be the type of audience for Classic Who.

[@highvoltage7797]

The Doctor Who experience closed down a few years ago.

[@moreau1755]

Yes. It used to be only a few minutes walk from the studios where they film. When the production was away filming on location it was possible to get tickets at the Dr. Who Experience to visit the sets.

[@highvoltage7797]

Moreau I know I went to it just before it closed. It was great if a bit short.

[@muggy2128]

I really actually do wish they had these classic doctors back in the show

[@robertbrown569]

There are several fan attempts to show what the older Doctors were doing during the end of the Time War, but by far the best I've seen is this six-minute edit, which attempts to show how all of the older Doctors were contacted to join in the final plan at the end, and what they were all up to while engaged in a conference call with each other. (Be prepared for over three hundred Doctors.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6WwkKmZeNR-j8U

[@MattHurst100]

Peter Jackson wants to direct an episode, this was also a comic relief thing I believe (spoilers) but he’s been too busy to actually direct one yet

[@space1999]

Hes said hed do it for free, all he wants is one of the dalek props to keep

[@jcortese3300]

They had 50% of Jon Pertwee and 50% of Patrick Troughton as well by having their kids in it, so in my febrile brain, that counts. 🙂

[@theevildalek5425]

The missing episodes are better as narrated audio then Loose Canon reconstructions. If you have reacted to Big Finish then you could react to those with maybe the photo reconstruction on top of that for us to see. If you are going to react to the photo reconstructions then I do suggest the Black And White photo reconstruction of Marco Polo as the Black And White photo reconstructions we’re made later and actually have photos from the episode itself as telesnaps (Google what Telesnaps are) instead of production photos

I know the video your dad is talking about, and I think it's an absolutely fantastic video. It does, however, have slight spoilers for the Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors... nothing major, a few lines of dialogue and clips of them in their TARDISes.

[@corncob2183]

Very fun spoof but not better than Day of the Doctor

[@highvoltage7797]

Corn Cob Corn Cob Which better encompasses the 50 years of Doctor Who. Day of the Doctor is a mainly modern episode with some references to the classic show. This has actors across the shows 50 year history with a story that focuses both on new and classic Doctor Who. Day of the Doctor is good but it isn’t the best celebration of Doctor Who’s history.
