@@KnightlyReviews I could not agree more with the commenter. Even more so, I would say that Capaldi's interpretation of the Doctor not only makes a bridge between styles and tempos of Old-school DW and modern Who every now and then, but also brings back the elements of storytelling characteristic to Tennant's era, which you discussed in the video. Still the differences between the first four and the next six seasons of the show can be explained by the change in seat of the showrunner (duh, obviously, sry) Thanks for the video btw, *It was perfect. Perfect.* Good luck finishing the series, hope you'll love it enough to keep watching, when the Chibnall's decisions will hit the fan, haha. I wish you well man, keep doing whacha doin' ;)

A few things worth noting. The first Doctor didn't die before being recast, he was just too old to do the series and was messing up his lines a lot with his declining health. Also, Capaldi is my fav, and his time on the show is VERY dedicated towards exploration of the character of The Doctor. A lot of the choices made about Matt Smith's doctor not focusing character driven moments are (probably not intentional, but) integral to his arc regarding the time war. Eccleston was angry, fresh out of the fight and Tennant was the sadness left over once 9's rage was had burned out. 11's time on the show being less focused on character becomes an important stylistic choice because it signifies how the Doctor plans to use his last regeneration, NOT focused on himself. Helping people, doing the last bits of good he can before what he thinks is a guaranteed death. When he gains that secondary set of regenerations, Capaldi's first actions all become about asking himself who he is, what it means to be The Doctor after every bit of joy and pain he's gone through. The four Doctors all culminate into a very impressive piece of longform narrative with that in mind. It's extra neat considering there's no chance they planned it that way lol

@@KnightlyReviews I think that sweet spot from 2005-2017 is one of the best pieces of longform character writing I’ve seen from ANY TV show. Obviously not every piece of it was intentional, but the throughline is there from start to finish about overcoming a cosmic degree of grief and shame and the way it culminates at the end is beautiful. For me personally, that arc is what makes the show worth watching. When you finish watching Capaldi’s seasons I hope it all clicks!

OH and to follow up on the idea behind this video specifically: Viewing each doctor isolated, the favorite doctor often becomes Tennant because A) the show was peak popularity back then and B) his Doctor needs the most emotional support out of any, while still retaining traits that make him “The Doctor.” I firmly believe Smith realistically could’ve achieved similar heights if Seasons 6 & 7 didn’t struggle as much in the writing department. And Eccleston could’ve too if he wasn’t cut short, but him being cut short was for the best IMO because without that his finale would have no stakes. Meanwhile, if you view every doctor as ONE character, and ONE narrative, the favorite often becomes Capaldi. We’ve seen him rage and struggle and ignore his problems as staple features of his past regenerations, so watching 12 tackle them head on means all the emotional support 10 got has payoff. Seasons 8-10 explore the character and wrap up the continued plot lines from prior seasons really efficiently.

Hartnell wasn’t that old actually. He did have a heart condition which resulted in his death years after he left the role.😢 He was only 55 when he was cast as Doctor Who - about the same age as Capaldi when he took on the role. Difference was Hartnell became extremely ill while playing the Doctor.

William Hartnell, the 1st Doctor, lived for a few years after he left his role in Doctor Who. The BBC didn’t replace the actor because he died. They replaced him because he was ill and couldn’t perform the role well any more. He had tremendous difficulty remembering his lines which you can definitely see in the later episodes. The show was popular, so they came up with the regeneration idea to replace Hartnell with another actor. Worked out well for all us fans and a key piece of the Who lore was born.❤

My favourite is 10, you're right! I love his boundless, "bouncing off the walls" energy; how he gets excited by new places and people, his companions get excited and so I get excited! His episodes feel optimistic but without going into fairy tale territory that I feel Moffat likes to do. I also find Tennant's and Eccleston's quiet moments a lot more relatable than doctors after that, I mean 11 all but confesses he gets bored if he stays still for 5 minutes. But in the end, I'm just happy my favourite show keeps going, and I'm glad The Doctor is still around!

That's partly due to 10's lack of bitter rage and self-loathing that 9 had from the war. 9 had begun to heal and form a strong bond with Rose prior to the regeneration into 10. In doing so, 9 tried to hold onto all the survivors' guilt from the War Doctor's actions to let his new incarnation grow from there. Though unsuccessful in holding onto all of it, 9 did project a wish to become someone who could at least grow into a more positive person for Rose. 10 had his moments of unbridled rage and sorrowful reflections on his past lives. But was able to grow from there until he lost Rose seemingly forever. The new loss compounded upon his existing problems. As such, he grew more distant from others, always keeping them at arms length. Until he lost Donna and lost Rose again, this time for good. With his only solace being the metacrisis half human copy of him going with her. He became insufferably arrogant. No one had the right to question or challenge his decisions after that. I hated the later era of 10's run, only for it to be topped off with his uncharacteristic (For the Doctor) angry rant at Wilf for getting trapped in the chamber. Less as Wilf himself and more at the fact that 10 was willing to let the random guy die, but couldn't let Donna's grandad die. Angry that he was guaranteed to regenerate into what he believed to be his last incarnation. I hated the long goodbye send tour of him visiting his previous companions and the "I don't want to go" line at the end. It felt disrespectful to whoever would come next, that 10 would be able to have this special long-winded goodbye tour on top of his angry rant at the situation with Wilf and the final line. It was just too much, at the end after that last stretch of the timelord victorious and carried through arrogance there after. 11 was great for being the manic obsessive attempting to do as much good as possible before he died. As he believed it to be his last incarnation, he felt an obligation to go hard and fast at every issue that he found. Only to have the resignation of his ultimate demise, all but confirmed to him in the alternate timeline when travelling to his own Tomb of the Tardis with Clara. He felt as though Clara had done more than enough by leaping into his time stream, but she came back at the end of his cenuries long defence of Chrismas on Trenzalore. Her appeal to the timelords being granted and the Doctor being granted an unspecified amount of new regenerations. 12 was great in that he was trying to find himself, both literally initially and figuratively throughout his run. Always questioning why THIS face? What was he trying to tell himself with that? Why is Clara still important after the Impossible Girl event had already taken place? All of them have had great moments and bad through their incarnations up to 12, but only 10 had what I personally view as a period of being unbearable and uncharacteristic to who the Doctor is or ought to be at his core.

Of New Who, Eccleston stands out as the best. His hardened post-war characterisation and eventual softening towards Rose were great in execution. Eccleston also voluntarily received less for his time as the Doctor to help ensure it's funding was not stretched on his account. He loved being the Doctor, a childhood dream come true, and it shows. Both of which are bonuses in his favour, as he did it for the love of the series and character rather than the money. He had his happy and silly moments, which never seemed out of place for his contrasting, internalised suffering. The latter of which would surface less and less, the more time he spent with Rose. Great overall era that was done perfectly.

@@soulsurvivor8293 That's a great write up about the doctors! Personally I don't dislike Tennant's specials that come after Donna. His Doctor was always the most human one, and I understand that some view it as a flaw but personally I enjoyed that take on the character! It is very human to be afraid of death, and view regeneration like we, the human audience do - he dies, and someone new and different comes along. You're right, he is arrogant. He was told he was going to die after he hears 4 knocks, then he defeats the Master who he thought was gonna be responsible for his own demise. That's it, right? He just defeated the prophecy, the death itself, he's unstoppable! But it all comes crashing down because apparently it was Wilf all along who'd knock. Wouldn't you feel bitter and betrayed? Not necessarily by Wilf but by circumstance itself, by - I dunno, universe? Everyone? That's how I see it - although much like you, I didn't enjoy the goodbye tour, now that was definitely taking it too far. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as I did. Have you seen his return to the role? What did you think of that?

I find it strange when people say “oh the show fell off during Matt Smiths run.” No, it’s a change in head writer and production, they’re allowed to do their own thing with the show. Moffat for all his faults is still my favourite era of the show for having a more experimental approach with multi season arcs. Changing up the episode structure and formula. Even the Chibnall era I’ll defend because while I didn’t like some of it, it kept going forward and tried new stuff. For example I like Segun Akinola’s music and Flux was incredibly fun and janky. Even with the newest series, we’ve already seen RTD being a bit more experimental with his stories. Gods and monsters, companions who have Moffatisms and a new episode structure. What I’m trying to say is embrace the change. Have fun with it. Doctor Who can be nearly anything. :)

Donna Noble is the best companion, and her season has the best episodes. Just two best friends the shenanigans they get up to which is extremely refreshing compared to the two seasons before it. Matt smith isn’t bad it’s just that you can tell the writers were running out of ideas when the writing became “and then.” Peter Capaldi's doctor is probably the best doctor in the worst writing at the time. Michelle Gomez as Missy or The Master during these seasons was also my favorite. While John Simm plays a great vindictive and sometimes Psychopathic Master. Michelle Gomez was more sociopathic and selfish allowing for a more relatable a fun version of the Master than before. Peter Capaldi got screwed by the BBC with his contract due to them requiring permanent availability. Even when nothing is getting done not allowing him to work on other project. You can see by the end of the second season, he was sick of the nonsense. He came in bright happy and overjoyed to play the part he always dreamed of having only for media bureaucracy to kill any love he had for it.

Hey great video dude. I wanna just talk about a few things on why dr who has different fans prefering different eras/doctors. 1. Regeneration came about because the actor was to sick to carry on and he was basically replaced nicely. Nowadays its more because the show is really hard to make for any one actor to keep the role for a long time. 2. Dr who doesn't just chage actors it changes showrunners, Tennant to Smith was also the change of RTD to Moffat (he wrote the weeping angels episode). 3. The seasons change and the character focus does too. If you look at 9 and 10 they are guilty doctors with a lot of self loathing. But 11 and 12 are much forgetfful and often run away from their mistakes instead. There is a lot more to it than that (particularly with the ecclsston and Capaldi doctors but that is the basic appearabce of it that can mess people up.) You probably already knew at least one of these things but i love talking about this show too much and you seem to be really perceptive of the deeper character moments for a first time watcher for me to resist.

For me it goes: 1 - Capaldi, Capaldi and evermore Capaldi. Heaven's Sent was the peak of New Who and perfectly characterises The Doctor. 2 - Tennant/Smith/Gatwa (Because all three of them are perfect in a different way. And they're inseparable in talent at playing the role of The Doctor.) Every one of these is a 9/10, (because no-one is perfect) and my ranking is purely based on opinion. Real person wise, Tennant is probably my favourite purely because of how outwardly progressive he is. The guy is always having to defend the LGBTQAI+ community, because no one else in the industry does; and for that he earns my respect. Though I bet every one of the actors would fight for the community too. There's a reason they're the ones that were picked to play The Doctor, because every one of them is just a bit like him deep down. 😁 Tennant is also god tier in Good Omens.

7:54 - You, my friend, are a man of taste and culture. (Eccleston is my favorite Doctor. He also was my first, but where TEnnent grew into the role over 2-3 episodes and became at least as good, Eccleston was THE DOCTOR from the moment he said "Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for you life!" ...admittedly, those are actually separated by a bit, but he captured it both times, and basically was the Doctor from the instant he had his first line. And that's saying something, considering that that is how I knew it was Doctor Who, and I _literally didn't know it was Doctor Who_ until minutes later confirmed it as the comercials came on with a little tag-blurb thing in the corner of the screen. It's just, "Huh, something about this says 'Doctor Who' to me, and I don't think I've ever seen any Doctor Who.," from the moment of Eccleston's first line.

I think the Capaldi era perfected the serialised format by making the focus solely be on character conflict, it's honestly impressive how well the standalone narratives of each episode were woven with a doctor-companion dynamic which was changing and developing on an episode to episode basis, i'll seriously never get the hate for series 8 specifically because it did this sort of thing so well

You were, in fact, right. My favourite Doctor is Tennant. Which makes me, in the eyes of the fandom, a normie. That being said, I enjoyed Eccleston, Tennant, Smith AND Cappaldi. They all feel different. You're right in that, but to me that ties into them being different personalities, different regenrations. Eccleston was wrath. He was chasing people off his lawn (earth) he only held on to kindness due to Rose being so incredibly human, as you correctly pointed out. Tennant was Guilt and deep sadness but also fresh out of mercy. He was goofy, to cover up. His story came in bits and pieces cause he himself tried to obfuscate it. He also easily was shown banishing people into fates worse than death. Smith was young rashness and silliness but also never giving up in the face of tragedy. It didn't always work out. He learned harsh lessons during this time. Smith had a short fuse. He's a bad liar, quickly overwhelmed by emotion, easily distracted and had a temper that could flare up suddenly. And Cappaldi is telling the story of a Doctor that is physically old as a reflection of his mental state. He wad questioning himself, his reason for doing things, for exisiting. Debating letting the saga of the doctor end due to the tremendous guilt he feels that only grows each and every day. He blames himself not only for the deaths he causes, but also for the deaths he fails to avoid. As he says, he is not a good man. But his journey is one of discovering that at his core, no matter what guilt he feels, no matter the circumstances. And even just that will always motivate him to help where he can. Even if the face of temptation or inrumountable odds. He believes in not one, but two Cybermen. He believes in love. He comes to save his worst enemy, Davros, simply because he called for help. All of this is extremely valuable and they all act it out greatly imo. Sure, I have favourites. Who doesn't? But I wouldn't do without any of them. Not to mention that throughout each season, each regeneration and even ovearcing all the Doctors, there is a story of an ancient, impossible, kind, brave man and all the things and people connected to him. It all adds up and it all is wonderful.

They all do the character so much justice and could be so good! It's just the fact, that the scripts aren't handeled well.

Moffat is a _brillaint_ episode-writer. He is too heavy-handed as a story-runner, and it shows in Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's runs. Though I will say that Capaldi's run elevates to match Tennent's if not Eccleston's when you meet _Missy._ And, since I don't think you're there yet, I will say no more about her, other than that I would love to see more of her in the future. Imaginging a Girl's Day Out with a certain version of Clara you've not quite run into yet, Bad Wolf Rose Tyler, and Missy makes me so very happy. I would love to see that, one day, even if it was just a one-hour special.

KZbin algorithm put this on my feed and I’m not disappointed Aside from your coworker giving you blatant misinformation, your analysis of the actual eras is fantastic. I’ve never really stopped to think about season long stories for the Matt Smith era and beyond being the reason that I felt the quality went down. I think the doctor is wonderfully written across everything, except for Jodie (nothing personal against her, I just didn’t like the writing she was given). I loved 9, 10, 11 and 12, but 10 stories were my favorites. I didn’t think the writing was bad for 11, I did find it just less enjoyable though. I like the episodic nature where I could just pick up at any point and not feel like I had to watch the next episode immediately to know what was gonna happen because it had some unresolved plot point. I really like the way that RTD managed to weave in small details building towards major plots at the end of each season (baring Martha’s solo season) but the bad wolf pay off at the end of nine’s run to the missing planets pay off at the end of Donna’s culminating in all the companions teaming up to fight off the Daleks he’s honestly one of my favorite moments in all of Doctor Who

You may not like it, but the last Tennant season is what peak Doctor Who looks like. Moffat managed to keep the bar at the same hight in season five, but completely lost the plot by the end of season 6. Moffat probably has more absolute bangers under his belt, but RTD's baseline is much higher and his world building was much more mature. Chibnall is an actual manchild.

I always feel that generally people like the first Doctor they encounter. As a classic fan Tom Baker is my favourite and Peter from the New-Era but I always felt that the Tenant era was a love story with arguably the most aesthetically pleasing actor portraying the Doctor. DT is a great actor and I don’t want to take away any of that from all the actors of that period but It was a big shift for classic fans. The tears and kissing and emotion was new and I think he brought in a new fandom. I think with Matt Smith came in, a lot of folks who skipped Eccelston pretty much though the Doctor Who was over when DT left. They were determined not to like it, especially when the love story had ended.

@@KnightlyReviews Be my guest! You can also mention in my opinion the difference in writing styles of the show runners. To me Russell T Davis was in love with the Doctor, I would even go as far and say he was Rose in these stories. Mickey being the best boyfriend you could get and then this magical superhero appears and falls for you. Pure fairy tale stuff. Whereas I think Moffat and Chibnall wanted to be the Doctor. We moved towards the more complex story telling and less emotional tropes. These guys were sat with their action figures as kids and made up stories in their imaginations. Just to say, I do think the romance was necessary when it happened with DT and rose. Just because the Show needed something to pull non-fans in especially female fans. It wasn’t the Doctor Who I was used to but the show has to be made for the audience of the time.

I disagree, your series long movie structure exists only with Series 6 and even there only in a handful of stories. You still have Curse of the Black Spot, The Doctor's Wife, Night Terrors, the Girl Who Waited, and the God Complex that don't tie into the wider plot at all, and Series 6 is the most plot heavy series of the show. Series 5s cracks are basically as focused on as Torchwood or Saxon, with the exception of the one Angels two parter, and by the time we reach Series 7, well its nothing but episodic in 7A, and 7B only has the odd tidbit about Clara's echoes, we don't even get a Trenzalore of Silence mention until the finale. Series 8 is right back to just easter egg teases with Missy, and Series 9 just has Capaldi stare at people and say "like a Hybrid" every now and then. Series 10 had a little more, but not much. It really didn't depart that much from the monster of the week format.

@@KnightlyReviews Everyone finds it hard to let go of their Doctor but I think this fandom sometimes finds it even harder to let go of the writing and see the good in new writing. It's why every time theres a new era you'll hear a lot of negative for the writing. But personally they are all good if you are willing to let go of what was and see the good in the difference in each eras writing. One of my favourite thing about 13s era is that we got a diversity of voices in the writers room we had POC writing their stories, Demons of the Punjab, that story if one of my top episodes ever and never would have been told if not for that writer, we had women and queer people writing episode that had those themes. It diversify the voices in the room to tell the their stories. Moffs had some really interesting over arcing themes, 12s am I a good man, wondering why he had that face, great contrast of trying to figure out if he was good while having one of the most prickly personalities in NuWho, we lost 9 too soon but that man had clearly gone through things and it was just a joy watching him be the Doctor. My top 3 fav Docs are 13, 9 and 12... all under different showrunners and writers.

Just like an argument can be made for Patrick Broughton being the best because he was essentially the first regeneration.

nah, his father in law will always be my favorite. Series was starting to go down hill and there were less good episodes than bad episodes, but he still managed to craft a dark and haunted character that was unable to make the jokes that Tom Baker did to get by. So instead he was just friendly. But his companions thought they were smarter than him and they never listened. More than once he had to give them a harsh scolding. Jodie actually tried to act like him a little, making speeches about hierarchy and summit, but it didn't work as well. Seeing nice friendly toothy peter Davidson get angry was like disappointing your father. It made you feel bad for both him and his companions. Jodie came off as more whining because she felt like a new person, rather than the same old doctor. Peter carried 19 seasons worth of gravity with him but Jodie only carried one. Their "Fam" made everything seem like a one off adventure, more like torchwood or Sarah Jane adventures, like she had no other lifetimes to call upon.

I haven't watched classic who yet but everyone is saying Tom Baker did an incredible job, but reading this comment made me much more excited to. I LOVE when the doctor is characterized like that

your friend basically got it right, But he wasnt dead just growing old and ill. it also wasnt called regeneration then it was just something that happens, i think it was named on the 2nd or 3rd regeneration. Anyway great video! love the sonic unleashed background music lmao. My favourite doctor is peter capaldi but david tennant was my favourite for basically my whole life. i never really found matts arc satisfying or even coherent. Christopher Eccleston is the most underrated modern doctor, and honestly i prefer his 1 season to any of matts, he absolutely killed the role and the revival Sorry for my bri'ish rant, i really hope u enjoy peter

I think your coworker lied to you😂 that isn't quite what happened but still, very great video. I personally believe that each era of the show is basically its own show, because each are different in basically every single way. As you say, the difference between series 4 and 6 in terms of style, structure and pretty much everything is astronomical

@@KnightlyReviews I hope you continue to enjoy the show, series 10 is great imo. You’re close to the JW era which is very controversial as you’ve probably already seen. It’s also very short (and genuinely not that bad if you just give it a chance) so you’ll be basically all caught up soon. It’s a great show so I hope you make more videos on it:)

Tennant was my favourite only very early on when I just knew about him and Eccleston, since 2007 Colin Baker has been my favourite. Tennant currently sits near the bottom of my ranking as I find the 10th Doctor a bit too unlikeable and overrated. This is due to it feeling like some stories can't decide whether he needs to be praised or humbled.

David Tennant will always be my Doctor, I also really loved Eccleston as well as Matt Smith. I'm also happy to report Christopher Eccleston got some amazing stories in the form of Big Finish audios. Peter Capaldi though, oh man, he is on a whole other level.

@@KnightlyReviews They aren't Podcasts. Big Finish produces Audio Dramas which expand upon the universe of Doctor Who, so they're pretty much new stories with familiar Doctors. Paul Mcgann's 8th Doctor for example has alot of stuff from Big Finish.

My favorite doctor is the twelfth doctor (Yes, s8 is pretty bad but s9 and s10 are IMO the best in the show's history, and even s8 doesnt do anything bad to twelves character, it just has some boring plots to individual episodes)
