At a recent convention, Sophie Aldred told a story of filming the support group scene. William Russell was having some problems with his line, at one point he spilled his tea and could not stop apologizing for it. John Bishop, who has an older relative who also suffers from dementia, sat on the floor behind William and fed him his line. However, this was also a bit challenging because William started imitating John's Liverpool accent.

@@redcr33perproductions As far as the "best enemy" part is concerned, he had some experience with that, thanks to his portrayal of Davos/Steel Serpent on _Iron Fist._ There, Davos and Danny Rand(played by _Sarah Jane Adventures'_ own Santiago Jones star Finn Jones)'s feud came to a head after Danny Rand stole the power of the Iron Fist, i.e. Danny may have acquired it the traditional way, punching the dragon Shou-Lao in the heart, but then Danny Rand took it to his old hometown of New York. Davos's view was that that is not what one with that power is supposed to do: that power stays in the Iron Fist's traditional hometown of Kun-Lun.
The conversations between Tegan, Ace, and their Doctors really closed some old wounds for us Classic fans that grew up watching those eras. When Seven talks about Ace being his "child" in a way, I am reminded of those days when she was just an 18yr old orphan who found a family in our Doctor. To see her grown and having flown the nest as all children should, it brought a lump in my throat to see them, father and daughter, talking together again.

I love the moment when they acknowledge Adric's death. Getting sent the "toy" cyberman was more than just a cruel joke for Teagan. It was a trigger of a very traumatic memory. The fact that she thought the Doctor was purposely or thoughtlessly triggering her really explains why she was so mad at them the whole time. I'm glad they were able to make peace. It also makes me wonder if Adric was on the Doctor's mind whenever they encountered the Cybermen from that point on.

Yup. 8 never really had a companion as the Grace character and the other guy (I forgot his name) never really travelled with him and of course is the only 'incumbent' not to have a series. He literally screams 'the forgotten doctor' and was RTD's original intention for the War Doctor which would've been better than sticking an incarnation between 8 and 9 making things messy. Now we have 2 incarnations with less than an hour of screen time. Obviously this would be messed up further more with the Timeless Children as well. For me, not getting McGann to be the War Doctor after Eccleston refused to return is one of the biggest mistakes made in the show's history.

As a teenager I watches random bits of Tom Baker's incarnation. I didn't know anything about the history or regeneration, and because I could only catch it on reruns on the local PBS station, never caught it in order or saw the longer arch of everything, but I did enjoy it. I only found out about the 2005 reboot several years after it came out, but I started watching it (I think on Netflix) and I have since watched EVERY single one (some multiple times) - I've even gone and bought all the DVD sets. I got the Eccelston/Tennant, Smith, and Capaldi all at once, and then Whittaker once it was available. The whole thing is such an epic saga of a story (multiple sagas inf act) I know some people take issue with parts by a particular producer or director, or don't like some of the writing, or some of the topics. But its ALL Dr Who, and it always will be. I will watch it until the end (either of me, or of the show, whichever comes first)

Imagine… Ace: “Is she ok?” Yaz: “She’s more than ok, she’s fantastic!”
Ranked from Least Awesome to Most Awesome (Although they are all Awesome!)- Jo Martin (Yeah, okay, see you around when some other writer can think of something to actually do with this character) Kate Stewart (Always nice seeing her, but she only just appeared last year and will apparently appear again next year, so it's not so much of a "grand return" really; Still fun though!) Grahem (Only saw him a season ago) Peter Davison (Saw him in Time-Crash but so glad he was here too!) Collin Baker (Thank god his last on-screen appearance in Doctor Who won't go down as a debate between him saying: "Carrot Juice" and Dimensions in Time) Paul McGann (Always great seeing this guy- Just patiently waiting for his on-screen spin-off any day now... ) David Bradley (Glad to see this guy is now officially the First Doctor, and no longer being horrifically mis-portrayed as a raging misogynist either) Jo (Glad to see her again, although she's been through a lot with The Death of the Doctor and everything she's done at Big Finish, so hopefully this companion support groups can help her out; Still, since she has technically already made a return on The Sarah Jane Adventures, I would have swapped her out for Polly; Although who knows, maybe in another universe I'm saying the exact opposite lol) Sylvester McCoy (Every day, I think about how amazing it is that the New Series has actually acknowledged the Seventh Doctor- I swear, up until this point, I was wondering if the show was just pretending like his era didn't even happen) Mel (Don't know how this character is on Earth right now, but I guess her timeline didn't even make sense to begin with- Even Big Finish haven't done a proper introduction story for her yet; Maybe if the rumors are true of her coming back, maybe the "puzzle" will finally be put together) Tegan (I remember reading an interview years back about Chris explaining that he brought Captain Jack back because of his energy, but would have also like to bring back Sarah Jane and Harry if their actors hadn't passed, and how he would also like to bring back Amy & Rory, Rose, and Tegan at some point, so hey! Glad to see that finally fulfilled upon!) Ace (Never actually thought this show would acknowledge this character again; Amazing!) Ian (Thank you; Finally this itch in my brain can be put to rest!)

Ace was originally going to appear in the next season of the Sarah Jane Adventures, but then Lis Sladen died, and the show was ended.
The perfect ending to the support group would be the 15th Doctor sitting in the room the whole time. In the end when he was asked his name, he would cheekily reply …”Oh me? I’m just The Doctor.” (Close credits)
Id have loved if they had Tennant, Smith and Capaldi here too, wonder if they could find someone similar enough to Troughton and Pertwee too like they have for the 1st doctor
I think my favorite part about the doctor support group is there is 100% like a handful more companions who couldve shown up and just didnt its very funny

There's at least one who is attending the meeting virtually, it can be whichever companion you prefer.
if she were still alive, it would have been so, so fantastic to see Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) in the middle of that group
UGH!!! This damn episode... EVERY TIME!! 🥺
Almost a shame they couldn't have found some way to have Troughton and Pertwee's Doctors in here somewhere.

I’d say let Sean forge his own destiny, guy’s a legend in his own right he doesn’t need to be reprising his dad’s role, it’s he a cool novelty but nothing more than that
I'm so happy 8 came back for this
Watching this with a wistful eye, waiting for *that* regeneration...was *not* expecting 14 to be doing the final voiceover.
Brave Heart Tegan, that line was so iconic to the 5th Doctor, I always felt her exit was oddly anticlimactic so the Daleks kill some people and she decides to do a runner, it was rather out of character in my opinion.

That is fair. Honestly, I saw it as with everything she went through since she met the Doctor (losing her aunt, Adric's death, etc.) maybe the events in Resurrection of the Daleks were for a lack of a better term the straw that broke the camel's back.
R.I.P. William Russell.
of course, if a group of doctors get together, they must be sassy to each other. half surprised there was no interior decor critique.
2:19 5 - "Go past here, there's no way back." 10 - "BYE!!!"
It was wonderful to have so many reminders of when Dr Who was appointment viewing. So excited for the Tennant episodes.
Tom Baker is now 90
I really hope that we start getting more returns of previous companions and possible multi doctor stories. I'd kind of also like to see more of Unit especially Osgood who definitely needs to make a return.
I was kissing my mobile phone when I saw the Classic Who reunions with tears of joy
Say what you like about any doctor, but the Seventh had an intensity which few TV actors can match.
I wish we saw Martha, an old version of Amy and Rory and Bill(those are the only people who can come back and you may be thinking about Clara but she died so she should stay there and not come back, also also bill didn’t die)

Would’ve been nice to see Martha, but Amy and Rory would be dead at this point in time, and technically bill is dead because testimony took her form in Twice upon a time and they only take the form of people who are dead

I read somewhere that Freema Agyeman, Tosin Cole and Camille Codouri all filmed scenes at home on their laptops that were going to be played in the scene. You will notice a chair with a laptop on it in the final scene. These were cut from the final episode before broadcast however.

Now that we know The Power of the Doctor could have been the last episode of NuWho as it was for Classic Who, the whole The Edge of Existence scene takes on a whole different meaning. "The Edge... of Existence. Symbolic, obviously..." of the show. "The question is, what are we going to do about it?" Yes, with Chibnall looking for a showrunner to succeed him and no one wanting to take it, it was a real problem. "This is supposed to be handed over; you cant ruin it for the next one!" And indeed, as Whittaker shot her regeneration with no one to hand over the role to. "But time's running out!" Davies returning as showrunner really was an 11th hour appointment as the BBC rushed to fill the gap, especially with the 60th anniversary and BBC Centenary and the Disney deal all on the line (how crummy would it have been if Doctor Who went on hiatus right after two important anniversaries, and all we got on Disney was the NuWho back catalog). I'm glad it all worked out well in the end, in the episode and backstage. I hope someone finally steps up to take the TARDIS keys after Davies is done with his work.
