The BBC can be very odd with matters like the missing episodes.

1st Doctor: It's far from being all over. 2nd Doctor: It's over. 😀

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

I think this is one of three times that the Doctor regenerated due to old age of his body rather than being killed. The other two were : the War Doctor to Ecclestone's Doctor and Matt Smith to Capaldi. Must of been mind blowing to see this when it first went out. I wonder was there anything in the press at the time about it?

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

There was a _lot_ about it on the news and in papers. The first announcement was just that he was leaving and tge BBC were looking for a new actor for the role. Back in the day, the fuss around a new Doctor was almost as big as that around a new Bond. Interest didn't really fizzle out until Colin Baker was ousted. He was a big name having played a popular villain in "The Brothers". There was more about his exit, though, than there was about casting of Sylvester McCoy, who didn't seem to get much of a fanfare.

[@KororaPenguin]

The First Doctor got a conga line of physiological trauma. The first blow was the Time Destructor. Second blow was the Toymaker disappearing him. The third blow was when his energy was sapped in _The Savages._ Then came Mondas...

william lasted just long enough to make the show a hit so they couldn't just cancel it when he couldn't continue. imagine if william had fell ill in the first season the show probably would of been canceled before it could even begin.

[@ptolemeeselenion1542]

It's rather interesting to see how the process about regeneration energy and "cellular renewal" worked in early Doctor Who.

[@bradbobhayhurst8604]

[@davidrosler5413]

The animation style is very different between the 2 Doctor segments. The 2bd, eh. The first, really beautiful work, particularly on the Hartnell shots. Hats off to who did the Hartnell work. Could have watched 2 hours of that. Beautifully done.

[@davidrosler5413]

Ironside Guy, I see the heart next to my remark. Did YOU have anything to do with the Hartnell animation?

[@crimsondynamo615]

The Hartnell animation came from the dvd release of The Tenth Planet. A partially missing serial. Parts of the regeneration remain because the footage was used on Blue Peter. So most of the missing parts were done with animation. Meanwhile the second doctor segments are from Power of the Daleks release, which used a different animation studio than the one from The Tenth Planet.

[@ThatIronsideGuy]

Sorry for the late response, no I didn't work on the animations themselves. They're both official animations. I merely edited them together and took out the gap between the episodes. Both animations can be found on their respective DVDs/ Blu-rays or on Britbox

[@disneyboy3030]

[@Blazing_Ninja]

I wish we had the all the footage to this regeneration 😢 At least we have all the audio and the first part of the regeneration! I’m subscribing!

[@silverbullet1620]

I wish a bit of the 12th Doctor Christmas Special was added in. To give it that extra oomph.

[@ThatIronsideGuy]

I didn't really want to do that for risks of it getting taken down (BBC are picky over the new series) and I just wanted to combine Tenth Planet with Power Of The Daleks.

[@junkjunk1989]

This gimmick is why the show is alive today. ❤

[@snakeyflea]

nice job putting them together

[@andrewrosen965]

This style of art is something I don’t usually enjoy but you somehow incorporate it so brilliantly it fit perfectly! Especially the tardis console zoom ins near the end

[@l.salisbury1253]

1:32 - Remember at this point he runs into the 12th Doctor who's trying NOT to regenerate!

[@ThatIronsideGuy]

As much as I like Twice upon a time, I don't count it as cannon in my head. It's a fun episode but I don't like how the BBC are trying to replace the original regeneration with William Hartnell with the David Bradley. If you look at the newest regeneration video by the official Doctor Who channel, there is only the Davis Bradley regeneration, not Hartnells. It feels really disrespectful to me.

[@TheHeavyDead420]

@ThatIronsideGuy but Hartnell passed away before the filming of the Three Doctors. Ofc they will choose a lookalike.

[@TheDrumstickEmpire]

@@ThatIronsideGuy hardly trying to replace him. They can’t exactly revive him to play can they?

[@billthewhovian]

​@TheHeavyDead420 Just a bit of a correction there he passed away after The Three Doctors. I think you were thinking of The Five Doctors where Richard Hurndall played the 1st Doctor.

[@doctorskara]

As far as I'm concerned, Twice Upon A Time isn't canon, but an alternate timeline caused by some time travel shenanigans. The show really needs to leave the First Doctor alone, IMO.

[@Christopher-e9r]

Thanks to Patrick Troughton and his great portrayal of The Doctor the show has been going since!

[@mreudy9488]

The animation you did for this was amazing

[@ThatIronsideGuy]

The animations are official. I just compiled both the Tenth Planet Animation and the surviving footage with Power of the Dalek's animation. They're really worth picking up either physically or on Britbox.

I honestly wish they hired you to do the Celestial Toymaker video they’re releasing soon. It looks like an early Nintendo Wii game.

[@ThatIronsideGuy]

I didn't do these animations, I simply compiled the official ones together into one full video.

[@DoodleThis]

@@ThatIronsideGuy Oh, I thought you did the animations in the beginning and then stitched scenes from Power of the Daleks

[@PoopaPapaPalpatine]

I hate to be the one, but I actually preferred the reconstructed lost episodes made from audio recordings and tele-snaps, and whatever surviving footage. The animation for much of these new reconstructions are pretty poor; I really don't think they do the show justice.

[@ThatIronsideGuy]

I do agree for some of the animations. It's why I respect how they include reconstructions on the episodes they can on the Blu-rays.

[@heulg.darian2536]

You know I never noticed till now but the second doctor looks like dracumel kinda.

[@itsbobcat]

what is the loud beating the second doctor hears? at 4:06

[@gbasource]

It's his two hearts adjusting to his new regeneration

[@zaranyzerak]

@@gbasource Nope, just a cool effect. The first mention of The Doctor having two hearts was in the 1970 story, Spearhead from Space. That wasn't a part of the canon at this point yet.

So that the 13. Doctor lost the Ring after Regeneration is based on the first Regeneration?

[@carls7860]

I mean .. did Ben and Polly just pop to the bathroom when the Doctor was regenerating RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSES?? Or maybe they shut their eyes? Why question what they just saw based on everything they've been experiencing ??

[@magicaltour1]

They had no explanation for what happened. Neither did the audience. Their reactions reflect what the audience would be thinking. Some would quickly view this as the same man (Polly’s view) but many others would regard him as an imposter (Ben’s view). The fact that more of Hartnell’s episodes survive than Troughton’s makes me think the BBC staff felt the same as Ben.

[@ZoomerUnion]

To be fair, all the Hartnell (except the first 13) episodes and all the Troughton episodes were equally junked by the BBC. It's just that more secondhand copies of Hartnell's episodes by private collectors and so on turned up in the ensuing decades

[@YamiPoyo]

Was the ring special?

[@lawrenceallwright7041]

I believe the ring falling off was simply to show that the 2nd doctor was played by a much smaller actor than the first.

[@annamariadallolio5000]

He lost the ring just like 13th.
