May 19th, 2013 - 6:02pmSorry – I managed to reply to the wrong post, and don’t know how to un-post that one.
Dalek: the Supreme
May 19th, 2013 - 6:00pmI recognized all of them except the two I missed (Eighth and Tenth Doctors) Thanks, booboo!
Mary
May 19th, 2013 - 6:00pmThat was indeed Barbara, not Susan – I just watched that series on Netflix last week.

May 19th, 2013 - 5:59pmYeah, I was lamenting severe lack of 8. (I thought the movie rights had been cleared up since there are DVD releases in both the US and the UK, and since we’ve seen at least brief clips of 8 in ‘The Next Doctor’ and such?) I think you’re right about that at least having been a body double for him right before we see 2. He’s my favourite, so I was a bit sad that he was notably missing, but if you guys are right then at least they made an effort. ♥
im still not here
May 19th, 2013 - 5:55pmi thought the 5th doctor clip was warriors of the deep
Kayla
May 19th, 2013 - 5:55pmDavid wasn’t in that bit.
Al
May 19th, 2013 - 5:46pm@Allie. I think Kev is asking who the body doubles were.
Allie
May 19th, 2013 - 5:44pmThe 9th and 10th doctors were played by David Tennant and Christopher Eccelson (not sure how to spell his name). The rest of the doctors were clips that were edited in.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 19th, 2013 - 5:38pmI hadn’t realized that was the 10th Doctor in the Library. I end up thinking it was Gallifrey with some guy standing on the right hand side, not knowing it was the 10th Doctor, but I guess cos it was quite a quick moment, you may not notice straight away first time around.
The colourized footage of the 1st Doctor from the Aztec’s reminded me of the colourized clips made by Babelcolour on YouTube.
After the episode, I had a feeling in me that said “I bet Babelcolour feels he could have done a lot better colourizing the footage then whoever actually did it for this episode” 😀

May 19th, 2013 - 5:34pmI was hoping the 8th Doctor would be in his blue Time War outfit.
Any idea of the names of the actors to play the Doctors in the Docs mind?

May 19th, 2013 - 5:32pmWhy are you taking everyone’s comments so literally? Obviously I knew that there is no more episodes ANNOUNCED, but you never know, the BBC may have a surprise waiting for us or something as unlikely as it seems. Plus Booboo didn’t want to rush to conclusions on the doctor/Susan front just in case. As mad this idea might seem, you don’t know anything for sure until you check. And YOU don’t know everything on first glance ether. OBIVOUSLY I didn’t mean episodes, I just meant on the off chance that a mini-sode/ surprise event happens. Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning…

Some bloke
May 19th, 2013 - 5:29pmyes it was susan but not actually carole anne ford
Dan Cox
May 19th, 2013 - 5:27pmwhen I watched it yesterday I didn’t see the tenth doctor thanks to Sam Orme for sharing the link.
The Whofan101
May 19th, 2013 - 5:26pmThe only one I didn’t get was the 5th Doctor running in the episode (as opposed to the bit from Arc of Infinity), thought it was the 7th! Apart from that, got them all!
Jennifer
May 19th, 2013 - 5:25pmIt was Susan. It showed them entering the TARDIS on Gallifrey when he stole it.
UDWF1
May 19th, 2013 - 5:23pmSo all the Doctors were there! Could have made David and Paul a little more obvious!
Some bloke
May 19th, 2013 - 5:18pmdo you mean episodes, cus if you do then quite obviously we are not, considering that was the end of series 7 and series 8 is not due to start filming until end of this year/beginning of next
Some bloke
May 19th, 2013 - 5:16pmThats what I thought
Matt Smithy
May 19th, 2013 - 5:15pmAlso, seeing as this series is over and the episode is defiantly a build up to the 50th, maybe change the banner to a 50th countdown ? I doubt we will get any more Doctor Who before then 😀
Sam Orme
May 19th, 2013 - 5:12pmBut remember, the BBC dont ave rights 2 use the 8th dr hardly cause of copyright with the movie
KyleK3
May 19th, 2013 - 5:08pmI was rather disappointed with what we got of the 8th Doctor. He barely had screen time as it is and when it comes to bringing all the Doctor’s back – let’s leave him out. Good move Moffat, good move (Y)
Sam Bentley
May 19th, 2013 - 5:06pmOh, thank you for this! I got all of them apart from that I missed the Tenth Doctor one, which I believe is set in Gridlock?, and I thought it was Ten running past Clara instead of Five and his jacket looked darker in the light!
AlphaOmega
May 19th, 2013 - 4:59pmIn the clip where all the Doctors pass Clara, The First Doctor looks more like Richard Hurndall (First in 5 Doctors)
booboo
May 19th, 2013 - 4:58pmwe think that was specially filmed with actors, it doesn’t appear in any episode that we can see
HeikoCDellbruck
May 19th, 2013 - 4:56pmWas it really susan in the clip where the doctor steals the tardis? Looked more like Barbara to me? Where did that part come from?
Matt Smithy
May 19th, 2013 - 4:56pmThank you for doing this, I was going to do something similar, but you did it so much better!
Professor When
May 19th, 2013 - 4:53pmCould it be? I think I might be ‘FIRST’! 😀
Professor When
May 19th, 2013 - 4:50pmThis is brilliant! Thanks Guys! 😀
