I was lucky enough to meet Jon Pertwee at a sci-fi convention in the late 1980s, he was very charming. He was also amusingly baffled at a very tiny camera that I was holding. It used 110 film (remember those?) and came inside a cereal box. “What the hell is that?” he asked with a smile. What a charming man, I do miss him.

On the basis of this video alone I would like every video and subscribe to this channel 1,000 times if I could. I was 8 years old when this came out and I don’t think I was aware there were more Doctors before Tom Baker at this point so it was an exciting revelation that made me seek out Doctors before my time. Not an easy thing to do without access to DVDs and the internet. Let’s just say I got to know these older doctors via books and comics before I saw more of them on screen. The Five Doctors is a masterpiece despite its obvious limitations. Edit: the karaoke Daleks running joke gets funnier every time 🤣

Altogether, at this point in the storyline, there were, in fact seven actors who had portrayed the Doctor - Peter Cushing, best known for horror movies, in two cinematic outings, playing him similar to William Hartnell, and Richard Hurndall, playing the William Hartnell version of the Doctor in this production! With the first three actors now deceased, there’s not a chance of a special episode reuniting all the Doctors to date - but, assuming that it was possible, what would the First Doctor have made of the latest regeneration? And, if Susan appeared, would she call Jodie Whittaker Grandmother? The only grandmother who used to be her grandfather and is younger than herself!

"I'm the Doctor. The ORIGINAL, you might say....." That phrase stuck in my mind for some reason. Clearly it didn't have the same effect on Chibnall.....

Apart from my early scattered memories of ABC repeats, this is the earliest story I remember as my parents recorded it when it was broadcast in 1983. I honestly believe this story was responsible for its continued fandom and led to the increased hunt for missing episodes. It's in my top 5. Thanks for this.

Brilliantly written and delivered - as usual. The running gag of the singing Dalek and the Ultimate Bessie Sound System crack me up every Who review :) You've managed to create a really endearing channel through skill and warmth. First class work and I thank you for it.

Tom Baker was my first Doctor, thank you PBS!!!

For a show about a time traveler, time travel was rarely a plot element used in the original series. It was how he got from place to place and time to time, but once he arrived, it didn't play much. The Five Doctors was a rare example and it showed both the strengths and weaknesses of delving into it too much. The obvious part was what the Second Doctor should know and his apparent control of the Tardis. Of course, this has given us the Season 6B Theory, which I rather like. I'd say the biggest loss due to Tom Baker opting out was the real Jamie. Troughton and Hines are arguably the best pairing in the show's history. Since they had to rejigger the pairings, Jamie was reduced to an illusion, presumably because they had to keep Sarah Jane and the Brigadier due to them being more recent and still popular. Looking back, a two hour special would have really enabled them to flesh out the characters and provided more opportunities for interaction between Doctors and companions. It's kind of weird than no one blinks at the idea the Doctor has a granddaughter.

From the US. Exactly as you mentioned I was introduced to Dr Who mainly through Tom Baker reruns shown on PBS (US Public Television) in the late 80s (at that point the episodes I was seeing for the first time were already 10-15 years old). I was around 9 at the time. You manage to tie whole seasons together in a way that help me make sense out of this huge input into my then still developing personality. Respect to the considerable research you've obviously put in as well as all the hours editing the videos together etc. It's a pleasure to re-discover Dr Who and laugh at all the silliness as well as remember all the great scary moments that made me a memorably eccentric 10 year old Tom Baker wannabe. Will be sure to watch everything you put out. Cheers from a new subscriber

I watched Doctor Who on and off in the early 70s from our local PBS station. But I really fell in love with the doctor in 1985. Back then we didn’t have video tapes or episodes running on TV. We had to rely on the novelization‘s. I got mega hooked on those. And then finally our local PBS station started to show them again. I joined a local fan club. I collected all the video tapes when they finally came out on CBS video tapes. Then finally the DVDs and now the blue rays. Long live Doctor Who!

Just recently discovered your videos and already in love with your spotlight on older properties and the additional humor you add to them: Killer Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart on the rampage had me laughing for a full five minutes.

Great recap and review as always. And a laugh. Similar to your experience, the Five Doctors kicked my own fandom into high gear. I was already a dedicated viewer, having watched everything from Pertwee through Tom Baker and up to the 19th Season at this stage (as they were repeated continuously in Aus, as you have noted), and started collecting the novelisations of earlier stories in a modest way, but the the 20th Anniversary Special set me on the path of teenage obsession. Suddenly I needed to own ALL of the novelisations, and ALL of the VHS releases, and ALL of the non-fiction books, and ALL of the... you get the picture!

I was there, watching on November 23rd. I had been viewing the Doctor with Tom and Peter since 78. I was EXCITED for this crossover. I didn't realize that we got the story before Britain did.

Great review. I have a lot of love for this particular Who story - I was 10 at this point, and Peter Davison was very much 'my' Doctor (and is to this day).

Awesome work once again! As a kid in Canada, this was my introduction to the franchise (courtesy of Buffalo NY public access station PBS picked up in Toronto), then got to see episodes of the Tom Baker run, and have been hooked ever since, so this special has a special place in my heart as well. Love that the Dalek explosion is so reckless it destroys part of the set! If only they can move as fast as Raston Warriors.....

Nice to hear Jon Pertwee getting in one last 'reverse the polarity of the neutron flow', his 'go to' Dr Who science spiel!

You sir, have become the channel whose videos I actually look forward too. Thank you and I wait with baited breath for the next one

There's no reason for Sarah Jane to complain to the Doctor about where he left her off because it hadn't happened yet, from his POV. And she knows enough about time travel to know not to tell him about future events. I think.

My most favorite episode of the classic Dr. Who. Thanks for sharing and doing a great tribute!😀

I've never seen this so enjoyed this as-always humorous recap. Despite its flaws it seems a tad better than the Star Wars Christmas Special!

One of my favorite songs by the Beatles and a good one from Loopy Lauper, as I have always referred to her in kind-hearted jest, being in this video definitely moved this a couple of places up on the enjoyment scale. Well done.

I want an entire album of Dalek songs!

Still my favorite doctor who special of all time and that closing theme is amazing

Great video. Thanks for posting it. The Five Doctors is one of my all time favourite Doctor Who stories. Just love it. I recently bought the B & M pack of 3td Doctor Raston Robot and a Cyberman as seen in the Five doctors.

Love these videos, wish this one was much longer, great work!!

Great video. I had watched Doctor Who pertwee stories in the early 70s when I was 5. Then I forgot what the show was called but I clearly remembered it. Then in the early 80s I started watching the Tom Baker stories. Still had not made the connection that it was the same show I had watched as a child. Then after watching Underworld the PBS station that carried the show played 'An Unearrthly Child' followed by 'The Five Doctors'. My mind was blown. I remembered watching it as a child now. And there was a new more modern version of the series with Davisons Doctor. I felt what I think an actual time traveler would have felt.

Great video as always Slammy. I've rewatched my Doctor Who collection (which starts with the War Games and ends with The Caves of Androzani three times since buying the dvds and I've always finish with the Five Doctors. It lost a lot of the fun in the next season and the slow de-Grading (deliberate pun) of Doctor Who was like watching an old friend die, horribly.

As a longtime Classic Who fan, I was so excited to see this in my Subscriptions! It did not disappoint!

I’m sure it was on a Friday evening also. Remember it well, my mum had bought me a Doctor Who 20th anniversary special edition of the Radio Times that featured lots of colour photos of 60’s episodes that I’d not seen. Lovely vivid colour photos and it was amazing.

One of the first Classic Who DVDs I got. Five for the price of One, who could say no?

I had the special magazine too. I use to stare at the stills of the title sequence behind the front cover. Imagining what they looked like on TV. Now I own every story on DVD. It's my favorite show.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Terrence Dicks was an absolute master of his craft. Robert Holmes was a master of writing stories with dark overtones and great dialogue, Douglas Adams was a master of writing the quirky, lighter episodes full of great humor, and Terry Nation created one of the greatest alien menaces ever to grace the screen. But Terrence Dicks could trouble shoot any script and make any script work even when budgets were tight and the cast kept changing and script writers quit, etc. From what I have seen, even the greatest writers upped their game as a direct result of Terrence Dicks’ feedback. Terrence was also a master of writing the novel versions of Doctor Who. Don’t get me wrong. I know Robert Holmes was originally picked to write The Five Doctors, and I would have LOVED to see his version come to life. Heck, even Terrence Dicks had some ideas he mentioned that would have been amazing if they had worked out. And part of Terrence Dicks’ problems with this episode was that quite frankly Eric Saward was micromanaging him. But the fact that Terrence Dicks was able to pull off this masterpiece and still give so many characters a chance to shine in their moment and still make the plot compelling and still sneak in subtle nods and inside jokes all while have so many moving pieces of not knowing what actors would be available and not knowing which properties could be licensed, etc., etc., etc. proves what a true genius that man was. Sure, he was supported by a great cast and other members of his team. Sure, he was way too hard on himself and always thought he could have done better. But the fact that Bob Holmes ultimately had to throw up his hands and give up because the logistics and pressures and restrictions were too much for him shows how few script writers could have been up to the task of pulling this off. This episode to me was his greatest writing accomplishment. This episode and the 5-ish Doctors Reboot are the two episodes that stand out in my mind as being written by geniuses who had to improvise a ton and also had to know the show inside and out to show it so much respect and make it really work.

it's glorious isn't it. I got so happy seeing this in my YT feed, thanks Stam.

I remember the first episode of Jon Pertwee regeneration. Though I suspect it was aired out of order. Likely a sweeps week.

Great video, well done! I still love this reunion!

A lot of people seem to forget that. Americans Loved Doctor Who on PBS. My brother and I always bought the home VHS tapes. This and the Three Doctors was one of my favorites. Of course, what is Doctor Who without Red Dwarf? Well, unfortunately it's the abomination (In my opinion) called "The Timeless Child" that's what. Seriously though, I truly loved Doctor Who through out my years. With all the Amazing and wonderful and truly Awesome things to watch on TV as a kid in the 80s, Doctor Who made it through and for that, I am highly grateful. My only wish is, it were made in the same way using film instead of Digital cameras. That's just my retroness showing.

Absolutely brilliant- loved that one myself- think it was the first Dr Who VHS tape I brought - might still have it somewhere- always enjoy your vids - fun and snarky but with the right amount of background- I think we really need your insights in Blake’s 7 at some point as well …

I was so confused by the title, but then I realized it was a Sgt. Pepper's reference... and now I feel a bit thick.

This was the first Doctor Who story I ever saw, on an extremely crappy video tape recorded by my uncle in 83. The picture was terrible and the sound was virtually non-existent, but it still got me interested enough to sit through all the ABC repeats prior to the Chris Eccleston series in 2005.

Nice vid. This is one of my fave stories, top 5 most likely.

Surprised General Zod didn't show up from Phantom Zone, as it looks very similar to the Time scoop.

I am old enough to have seen the Hartnell years on their initial broadcast although I was very young in 1963, the 3 Doctors came along and blew my mind at the 10 year anniversary, I guess I was at the prime optimum age for the series at the time. The 20 year show was very good, and I enjoyed it a lot, but by then I was an adult and as much fun as it was it just never held the same excitement as the 3 Doctors. Clearly an age thing. They were glorious days in my youth. Great review though as usual.

I have to admit I never saw the 20th anniversary special despite having been avidly into Dr Who for most of the 70s. I do remember the 30th anniversary in November 1993 but there didn't appear to be a special for that milestone. The BBC were re-showing Planet of the Daleks in its original six weekly parts (one episode was in black-and-white as they no longer had the colour version of it). Having watched that story entirely in colour when it was first broadcast in April/May 1973 it was nostalgia central for me,so I videotaped it on my VHS recorder so I could watch it all again (was working evenings when some episodes were on). They showed one story from each of the seven Doctors in the early parts of 1992 and 1993,on BBC2 early on Friday evenings following an episode of Thunderbirds. We got The Time Meddler,The Mind Robber and the Sea Devils between January and April 1992,also The Daemons (late end of 1992/start of 1993?) and Genesis of the Daleks,The Caves of Androzani,Revelation? of the Daleks and Battlefield? between January and April 1993.

Bit unfair on UK Conventions that year, given the huge "Twenty Years of a Time Lord" celebration at Longleat. Having a lock-in in the Radiophonic Workshop tent with Dick Mills and Brian Hodgson was just as great as meeting Heather Hartnell, and Troughton at perhaps his first ever convention.

My dad sometimes would watch Doctor Who with me, even though he didn't particularly care for it all that much. I remember the phone rang and it was my uncle. I guess my uncle asked him what he was doing, to which dad said oh I just watched this fella get kidnapped by some floating toilet paper. Good God that was hilarious.

An amazing video and analysis. Love what you are doing here.

A TARDIS console prop made from jam jars, bicycle pumps, and candy dispensers scarcely bears thinking about 😁 Locong your dedication and wit to so many series. Thank you much!

I have to tell you I was kind of confused since I didn't have the internet yet so I had no idea what was going on or that the new show I was watching had run so long that the guy from All Creatures Great and Small had taken over the lead at some point. Still I enjoyed every second of it and I have a soft spot for the SE simply because that was the version my PBS station played. By the time it was over Doctor Who had replaced DS9 as my favorite show at the time, there just seemed to be so much scope and I couldn't wait to see how all these characters would come into play in future. Over all I have to say this is my favorite of the multi-doctor specials and given everything going on behind the scenes I think the production team did a great job on this one.

Then I remember eventually catching a Third Doctor episode and just assumed it was a different show until the credits. Eventually, I was at a book stored and saw the Discontinuity Guide which helped fill in the blanks. I still didn't start watching regularly until the Colin Baker era and eventually made my way around. At the time, the local PBS was usually showing a whole story (4 or 6 parts) on a Saturday. The longer ones were shown over two weeks. The big problem with watching then is if you forgot to program the VCR (or rewind the tape), it took about two years to see a story you missed.

The Five Doctors still suffered from "too many characters syndrome" as it is but with Tom and at least one more companion added, whether that had been Lalla or an earlier companion if Tom had been placed with Sarah Jane, it could have got seriously out of control. And Stam does say how the writers were at a loss on the script prior to Tom's decision not to return.

The BBC were late to the VHS scene and most UK residents did NOT have video recorders in 1983 to record and rewatch the episode over and over. There is quite a difference between what was considered acceptable effects for a BBC sci-fi show in 1983 compared to what people had grown used to by 1993 {Star Trek: TNG, Seaquest DSV, Heck Babylon 5 came out in February 1993}. Then you add that the majority of complaints come from people who watched this episode even later, maybe not until the mid 2000s after the show was rebooted and found a new audience, and you come up against even tougher expectations.

While I know it’s not regarded as a high watermark, and - despite the limited B-roll appearance of Tom Baker - I love this special. I bought the DVD years ago but haven’t watched it since some things from childhood don’t hold up. Think I’ll give it (and it’s commentary) a spin today. [spoiler for 40 year-old show] Very little of anything I watched in childhood has stuck with more than the shifting eyes on the frozen faces of those who achieved immortality.

So loved this as a ten year old! Personally I think Richard Hurdnall was great as the 1st.

So, the 'fifth' Beatle wasn't George Martin... John, Paul, George, Ringo and Dalek. Fantastic video, I loved it.

That's probably the best beatles cover I have ever heard. Only the Daleks could pull it off.
