I think David still has the most. He had three permanent companions, Rose, Martha and Donna. Several recurring companions: Captain Jack, Mickey and Sarah Jane Smith. And a number of one-off companions: Astrid Peth, Jackson Lake, Lady Christina, Adelaide Brook and the imitable Wilfred Mott, so I make that 11. Add into the account Jackie Tyler and those two characters in the animated episode Dreamland and you have a fairly sizeable number there.

@@DoctorVision @user-tx9tg2lu7c Yeah, I guess it depends on who you classify as a companion. I mostly base it on "indefinite TARDIS crew member" and "in multiple episodes," so I only count the main three and Mickey as Tennant companions, though there's definitely a case to be made for the one-offs and outliers. Even when you exclude Sara Kingdom, the First Doctor era had nine characters written to be indefinite companions, so Hartnell takes the cake for me. No matter which way you look at it, though, David WAS a bit of a man about town.

Some actors who play the Doctor were big fans of the show (Tennant, Capaldi etc). Some weren't that familiar (Smith, Eccleston etc.). What I love about Gatwa is how, despite the show being on his radar growing up, he clearly wasn't a massive Whovian, but… he is throwing himself 110% into the universe. That's the sign of a dedicated actor.

No, Ncuti is not a fan. He's part of the new activist movement (including RTD) that hates British past, hates white people, and hates the history of the Doctor - those like Chibnall and Whittaker who desperately wanted to change Who history so that the Doctor was originally a black woman. Ncuti is a racist who complains about all the "white mediocrity" (in a white country) and claims the TV industry is racist against black people, despite there being a HUGE racist over-representation of black people in the media now. Then there's the aggressive agenda to use the show to push intolerant ideologies upon the public, with Ncuti talking about the Doctor bringing "queer energy" to the show and wanting to defeat monsters by twerking. No, he's not a fan, he's a vandal.

@@The0thDoctor People have wondered about wearing the same outfit constantly wearing it out or getting stinky. We saw the wardrobe closet when Tennant was choosing his outfit the first time, and it appears to be an infinite spiral. Since we know the TARDIS can make anything at will, my theory is worn or dirty outfits get thrown down the spiral to get recycled, and a new copy is produced to replace it. This also explains how the pockets can be bigger on the inside - the copies use Time Lord Technology even if the original was ordinary clothing like Matt Smith's or Jodie Whittaker's when they selected them.
As soon as Ncuti got to David Tennant, I was like, "Yes! My favorite!" I don't watch full episodes cuz my ADHD wouldn't allow it but I would love to if that wasn't the case. But I just watch clips instead. But no disrespect to the other doctors. I'm sure they did or are currently doing their best.

[VIDEO DESCRIPTION]
Great video. My only complaint is that you skipped 2 Doctors. The War Doctor and the fugitive doctor
Started with Nine during Eleven’s era. There’s a great many episodes of the classic era I’ll have to watch eventually, so loved this detailed recap! No SARAH JANE mention? Mickey and Harkness are both missing, BUT Rory wasn’t forgotten as he often is… And someone else is missing from the revival era, too, which I don’t take any issue with, since I found the character grating.
I already love his doctor
He missed off other actors to have played The Doctor (in order) ... Peter Cushing John Hurt Jo Martin Now, you could argue that they are not significant enough, but John Hurt's Doctor is actually one of the official regenerations, coming after Paul McGann. Peter Cushing played The Doctor in a movie in 1965 (two years after the shows origin) and Jo Martin in the Timeless Children, arguably a better Doctor than Jodie Whittaker (sorry Jodie, but I'd love to see Jo get a series or two as the Doctor).

Hartnell didn't introduce us to Time Lords. They would have to wait until the very end of Patrick Troughton's tenure.

Ok, love you Ncuti, but a genuine question, 8th Doctor Adventures TV series when? If there's a WhoVerse, Paul McGann deserves more than a movie, a minisode, and a cameo, he deserves at least one season of genuine Doctor Who under his belt.
Sad everyone always forgets the Time War Doctor 😢 50th anniversary made him a Doctor!
Ncuti is an ICON
Awesome! But I really missed John Hurt aka the War-Doctor. He just appeared in the 50th anniversary special - but he still is the Doctor...
Most of the original doctors had more than one companion.
1:50 is the second doctor playing the Outlander theme, possibly with his Scottish companion Jamie next to him?

The ‘outlander theme’ is an old Scottish song “Skye Boat Song” so yes he would be playing it next to Jamie because it is about the Jacobite rebellions

@@cameronbeattie3087 Still pretty cool considering Jamie from outlander is named after that companion
‘Three companions’ He means Rose, Martha and Donna, but should have included Mickey as well (if not also sarah Jane and Jack)
You misspelt Patrick Troughton in the description.
Good Gods I'm gonna be obsessed with Ncuti Gatwa arnt I?
Fun video for new viewers, and Ncuti does a charming job... Some of the 'factual' scripting is slightly odd? Almost comes across as AI written in places.

The 50th anniversary in 2013 brought us the War Doctor (first official Doctor Who with a beard - after the cinematic version played by Peter Cushing - in colour too, in the 60s) AND a rerun of the 10th Doctor + introduction of the eyebrows of 12th!!! Then there is the Fugitive Doctor (... a darker Version of River Song - very, very cool) and the burn down regeneration from 13th to 14th took place in October 2022 - after some muddeling about a "Master Doctor" due to forced regeneration, body snatching and redoing that process. 3 uncounted great actors from the official show and 5 more in the Steven Moffat skit from 1999: "Curse of Fatal Death" with lots and lots of the first ever seen bronze Dalecs

It might be.. Or RTD wrote it, he would struggle to know history of the show I feel.
You missed the Fugitive Doctor and the War Doctor.
The fact that River was never mentioned is crazy to me.
I'm amused by the robot tracking where the jelly baby went.
Very cool to see this, the show's getting a lot of new fans and the backcatalogue is very daunting, if the Doctor himself tells you it though, suddenly it's all the same show.

In the U.S., it helps the old show is on Tubi which is nice.
Patrick Troughton was phenomenal
I was first introduced to Doctor Who with Jon Pertwee briefly before his change to Tom Baker. During Colin Baker's time, I was a teen more into music than tv and lost track of the show. Coming back to New Who with Christopher Eccleston.

No mention of River Song 😢
Well, that's not quite every Doctor, but it's all the Doctors who've had a leading role in the show.
Peter Davison was good
So excited to see more ncuti gatwa in action
I know this will probably get a lot of backlash, but I genuinely think IDRIS ELBA would be a FANTASTIC Doctor! He’s very good in quirky roles and is a stealth sci-fi nerd! Forget Bond… make him the next Doctor!
im curious about the actors reactions to his descriptions of them
The Bi-generation definitely explains why there is a doctor curating a museum.
And now it’s being loosely rebooted with Season 1
0:16 This footage is incorrectly attributed. It comes from the 2013 telefilm An Adventure In Space and Time (this particular scene being a 2013 re-edit, as Matt Smith originally stood where Ncuti does)

It is an official clip where Ncuti is there instead of Matt can’t remember what it’s from but there are two separate clips one with Matt and one with Ncuti hopefully I helped out

The idea is that every 10th anniversary the BBC rereleases An Adventure In Space and Time with the current Doctor at that point being the one in that scene. That was the intention from the very beginning, which is why Matt Smith looked very green screened in (because he was, for this reason). Technically you could call this the 2023 release then.

Commission to get Sean pertwee to cameo as the 3rd for a multi doctor with 15th and 3rd 😅
Forgot to mention Tom Baker also played Curator making him first actor to play two different incarnations in Doctor Who history. Paul McGann 8th Doctor finally got proper regeneration on screen years later in Night of the Doctor mini sode and came back for Power of the Doctor. Also he played War Doctor technically since McGann was stand in and young John Hurt CGI put on McGann face. No honorable mentions for John Hurt War Doctor and Jo Martin Fugitive Doctor while yes both never got full series they still are the Doctor both incarnation still count as regeneration. It gets more wibbly wobbly timey wimey explaining this to new Whoivans who are getting into series. Tenant is not just 10th and 14th he is also 11th, and 3rd/15th Doctor going by what 11th Doctor said in Time of the Doctor he said Ten kept the same face he had vanity issues which Clara correctly states 11th Doctor is the actually 12th and he also corrects by stating captain grumpy (War Doctor) still counts as a regeneration despite not calling himself the Doctor. As for what i do mean he's also the 15th and 3rd Doctor well same episode Time of the Doctor Time the Time Lords gave the Doctor new regeneration cycle officially 12th is actually 13th and 1st Doctor new the cycle. 13th is both 14th and 2nd Doctor, 14th Doctor is 15th Doctor and 3rd Doctor, and 15th is actually 16th and 4th Doctor in this new regeneration cycle we will have to wait for the 23rd Doctor who would be the 12th Doctor in the second cycle but of course we will have to wait the long way around to see this happen and officially see the Doctor become the Curator by regenerated into an old favorite face of the Fourth Doctor.

I don't think the Curator was ever actually named as a Doctor, though Tom Baker did play him. Ncuti did say "all the main Doctors" so he was obviously limiting it to the officially numbered Doctors.

That image of John Hurt in Night of the Doctor was taken from a movie Hurt was in called "Night Crossing". It was about two families who escaped from East Germany in a hot air balloon.
Ncuti: you are a typical British kid! All the British kids I have met over the years are all the same- they love Number 3- Jon Pertwee! Now I have seen his episodes and they are quite good! As an American who grew up in the ‘70’s- Number 4- Tom Baker- gets my vote! And all the American folks who grew up about the same time as me who are Whovians are the same way! Numbers 10/14 and 11- David Tennant and Matt Smith, respectively- both are very good and have huge followings! I would like to see more of Number 8- Paul McGann!
