I really love "Then don't you dare, sir. Don't you dare put him before them." It reminds the audience that it's not just the Doctor vs the Master. The Master has the whole of humanity (minus a couple) in his control. Sure, it's understandable that the Doctor doesn't want to kill, least of all his oldest friend/enemy, but this is a situation where Wilf needs to remind the Doctor that he's trying to uphold his moral code at the expense of everyone else.

This may be the best scene in the entire franchise. Perfectly acted, perfectly showcases not just the Tenth’s character, but the character of the Doctor across all their lives. The Doctor is running headlong into what he knows for a FACT will be his demise here, and he’s adamant in doing it unarmed, in holding to his principles. He wants to save the planet, and he wants to save the Master, and he wants to save Gallifrey, and they’re all after each other, but he’s insistent in his means and his motivations. It all rings true to the Twelfth’s speech just before his regeneration. “Never give up, never give in. Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, and never fail to be kind.” Say what you will about this show, but it fuckin’ _hits_ sometimes.

I think Wilfred was one of the few companions who saw the doctor through this lense of childlike wonder as this magical man who could do anything. Allot if other companions spent so long with the doctor they began to realise the whole madman with a box act was just a charade to mask a man mourning the loss of his people and the terrible atrocities he was forced to commit to protect the innocent from evil but not Wilfred. Kind of ironic considering how straight the doctor was with him about regeneration and his shaded past.

Perhaps BC of wilfs age, he could Connect more. The other companions where Younger, wilf lived a Long live already - Seen war (what also could be a reason for the doc after galifrey vs dalek)

[@LittleHobbit13]

I think it's because Wilf was also an "old man" like the Doctor. Who could understand that life isn't black and white. He has the capacity to see that good people find themselves having to do terrible things (his experiences in the war), or what it means to look back at your life and feel regret (his age), etc. He can relate to the Doctor from a perspective that few other companions have ever had, and it allows him to see the Doctor as a sum total rather than a snapshot in time.

Wilfred was the best companion. A voice of reason and kindness in a cruel and chaotic time.

[@TheClockworkNewt]

Despite how relatively short time these two shared on screen, they had an incredible dynamic. From grandpa questioning his own self-worth upon the sight of his home planet, to a time traveler talking about his crimes with so much disgust They really were just two old men weary of this crazy universe, weren't they...

[@TheMoonHut]

There's a really fascinating perspective shift that I think goes underappreciated with companions. A lot of the time, at least in the revival, they're younger, so traveling across time and space is sort of a fantastical growing-up story where they learn about themselves in the process and often decide what direction to take their life in because of the experiences they had with the Doctor. But the older ones have already done their growing up, they've made families and had fulfilling experiences long before an alien shows up to whisk them away. And I feel like, at least with Wilf, there's sort of a feeling of your life already being over and while you're happy with what you've done and made, there's a melancholy over the idea that there's nothing new left, you've dealt with it all, and there's nothing left to do but fade away. He seems so sure of the idea that humans seem like something insignificant and tiny because he's seen a lifetime of humans and has settled upon the sentiment of them not being special, especially to something like a fantastical alien with a time machine. I really like the idea of an older companion rediscovering the beauty of living and how much more there is in the universe after being so convinced that they were past their prime and weary of the world. I hope that's a concept that ends up getting explored more at some point, but it's a shame we'll never be able to see it with Wilf as a companion

I especially love when Wilf says, "Don't you dare put him before them" because, to me, Wilfred is using this as almost a reason for the doctor to kill the master. realistically, Wilf might not fully intend for him to use it to save humanity, but just to save himself. he's begging the doctor to save himself. The doctor refuses. it's such a beautiful scene, and as much as some disliked these last episodes I believe they were David's perfect send off.

Notice how Wilf offers the gun 4 times before the Doctor eventually takes it

[@LauraRose2000]

I’ve always thought that Wilf probably never stopped wondering and worrying about the Doctor… I am so excited to see the two of them share the screen again

[@alexthebold]

What makes this especially wonderful? Bernard Cribbins was a fantastically comic actor. Watch his episode of Fawlty Towers. It seems that whenever these TV types really want to get something across, they find a comedian to do a serious role. (Catherine Tate as Donna Noble: when she's being serious, she just rips into you.)

Back when Dr. Who was not just good, it was brilliant.

[@iniflyi1349]

it was fantastic

[@SenileOtaku]

Yes, before it turned to shit under that idiot Chinballs.

Wilfred was the Father figure the doctor always wanted, Glad he got his final cuts in the new seasons, Rip Bernard ❤ il always believed that the lady communicating with Wilfred was Tektay, The woman who found the doctor looking out for him.

I had not heard Bernard Cribbins had passed away. I absolutely loved his character. He was always such a true friend to the doctor.

Such a beautiful moving scene 😢😔

[@okankyoto]

As iffy as this episode can be (even by RTD's own feelings), this scene is golden. Davies has an incredible ability to write moments like this, even in the worst of times.

1:50 That look got me. His face half in shadow. For a split second, I was intimidated. Ten didn’t look like himself. He looked like…well, maybe what he could have been if he took the gun and decided to kill the master…like a dark doctor or something.

Man this still hits me in the emotions they just don't make em like they used to

[@muazo9916]

Rest in peace Bernard Cribbins

[@NatS3703]

Imagine more series with 10 and Wilf, and 12 and Bill ❤

[@pek5117]

Love this scene. We will get to see Wilfred/Bernard one last time in the 60th anniversary.

[@chase1146]

i love the way he does this. first he does tries vengeance. then self defense. then defense of everyone on earth. and the doctor refuses every time until the time lords are hinted to come back

[@markorollo.]

Random, my family is from Oldham, like Bernard, my Mum's uncle knew him when they were young. I think they went to school together.
