- The themes for the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors.
No copyright infringement intended.
Song Names:
9th's Theme: Bad Wolf/ Doctor's theme
10th's Theme: The Doctor's Theme (Series 4) 1:12
11th's Theme: I am the Doctor 3:34
We own none of the audio or visuals from this video.
9 and 10's themes: reflections upon deep sorrow, loss, and regret. They contain themes representing both a Doctor who had to bear the guilt of destroying his entire race, and then a Doctor who lost those dear to him, one by one, until he was forced to die in utter solitude and loneliness.
11's theme: COME AT ME BRO
+Cecilia H. Yeah the 11 doctor is often nicknamed the one who forgets.
+Destroyer120296 I always loved 11's theme because it sounded so triumphant and happy and YOU JUST MADE IT SADDER THEN EVER. CORNER. NOW.
Well he does remember but he has learnt to forgive himself and put it behind him.Cecilia H.
+Destroyer120296 Aw, that makes me feel better, thank you :).
Cecilia H.
Yeeh.
9: Guilt to Sorrow
10: Sorrow to rage
11: rage to muthaf*cking fezzes
*Laughs like a maniac*
Swixen hahanaha The 11th dr looks funny when he's on a rampage
Attack Eyebrows to LOok I GoT BeWbS
12: Muthafucking fezzes to A FRIGGIN GUITAR!
Nah it’s denial, he’s tried to wipe his act from his memory. He’s more comfortable talking about his race as he blocks out the fact he killed them
I love how each theme fits the character of each Doctor.
9's theme is melancholy and haunting, speaking of beauty and hopeless regret.
10's is hopeful, speaking of hope and new happiness; yet tainted by sorrow and never dying regret.
11's is wild and free, a child exploring and laughing; a man so drunk on despair and rage he has become insane, yet it never loses that dark undertone of regret for his past.
Banana Boat Charlie couldn't have said it better myself
Banana Boat Charlie I didn't understand a word you said/texted
The best descriptions for each of their themes, great job, I love how they’re all unique to each doctor and how each fits them perfectly, based off of their Doctor and the personality of the Doctor
@@DisruptorCSM Ah, go on yourself : )
9th theme: Makes me kinda sad
10th theme: Makes me feel epic
11th theme: Makes me feel adventurous and awesome
Best music!
DiscoRäv finally someone who agrees my regenerations theme was the best
@@connoralmond9525 Wow Doc you time travelled 4 years into the future to answer to my comment :o
DiscoRäv yep ,and now I’m off to go to Amy’s wedding ,GERONIMO
Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!
I like the 10 th and 9 th doctors themes the most
harel Hazan-Fuchs my favorite moment so far. Maybe my favorite moment ever.
THAT is the true Doctor moment
Still the best episode.
Nice pfp
9's theme is the sorrow of the doctor, 10's is the love and hatred of the doctor, and 11's is the adventures the doctor brings...
That is EXACTLY correct...makes so much sense
***** *11's voice* I know!
roteberg1 9th Doctor's voice:Just Fantastic!
Zero Knight 10th Doctor's Voice: It's brilliant!
MultiStarlight7 k-9's voice: affermative!
CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THOSE TRANSITIONS MY GOD!
DT's regeneration was just gut wrenching
Totally what I was thinking
A 7 year old comment and I’m the 500th like… huh funny
The 9th doctor is the doctor who mourns. the 10th doctor is the doctor who regrets. 11th Doctor is the doctor who learned how to let go. the 12th Doctor is the one who learned from his mistakes. At least that's how I saw each of these guys.
And the 13th is so the left can stop annoying everyone
TheSingingBUn if we go by your idea then 13 is the one who is starting to live again, but I’m hoping because of her happy go lucky nature it will eventually come crashing down and we see a doctor who makes a new set of mistakes
Mattopotamus nah 13 isn’t canon, the doctor should not be female
@@joshhaddock6772 it has never once been stated to be impossible. In fact I'm fairly sure they addressed it in the past as being definitely possible in time lords.
chumon1992 shut up, i said the doctor shouldn’t be a woman. not can’t, shouldn’t.
Eccleston... you may not be the most popular, but you'll always be my doctor. I know you don't want to return and obviously it'd be hard to without a crossover, but please... just once more, be fantastic again.
Yep agreed! Re watched his season a few months back, a good however many years older....and i think he did a great job! Really appreciate his just-out-the-time-war vibe.
Tennant is my favourite (yes, I know... how original), but I have to say, Eccleston did an absoutely FANTASTIC job. Definately appreciate his series a lot more now than I did at first.
I haven't finished the Dr.Who series yet but Christopher Eccleston is my favorite doctor.(I'm on season 4)
Plasticcaz i see what you did there
Mandy Ramsey My favourite season !!!
I feel even more sorry for 9 now. He had believed that he had killed his own kind. Men, women and children and also destroyed his home. He would never remember what the 13 Doctors did on the final day of the Time War when they saved Gallifrey. He suffered through the guilt and grief which he should have never had. I pity his incarnation the most.
The 12th Doctor is even more rude. If you haven't watched his ones yet then be prepared for some human bashing. I'm a die-hard Whovian so it doesn't really matter for me
It's not just the 9th that has to go through the guilt. War, 10 and 11 also went through it.
Muhd Haiqal War wouldn't have, he knew they were safe right up until he changed into 9. Seeing as 9 had just showed up he felt the guilt most of all.
ironhidewatson Exactly, at least 9 had more of a reason for it.
ironhidewatson Charizarzar true. But 10 and 11 also felt the guilt. And I don't think 9 should be felt sorry for. I think 10 is the most pitiful. 10 only lived for 3 years. His regeneration also crashed the tardis. He was alone when he regenerated. And his regeneration was caused by a friend. Also, the love of his life is in a parallel universe. His best friend doesn't remember him and the great times they had. So I'd say 10's life is much more depressing than 9
I don't understand how you people pick favorites... It's so hard! I love the 9th's vibe, the 10th's goofy side, 11th's peculiar actions, and the 12th's flat out alien existence. How do you all choose a favorite?
Oh, you love ALL FOUR of them...*rolls eyes*
God Of Potatoes What's wrong with that? And it's not ALL four. You're forgetting 1 through 8 :)
One word: sarcasm
God Of Potatoes I was aware. :/
they are all so good in their own way
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES THE NINTH?!
No I love Nine
I don't have a favorite Doctor as of yet, but I do think 9 was the most important Doctor in the new series. I mean, *he's* the one who introduced us to Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness and other people who were EXTREMELY important in 10's life.
You Are Not Alone
Emmett Krantz I hope I am not the only one who knows that reference
Pandorium Bills Nope, you aren't
There's something about 9's theme that's so sad and tragic...
10's theme starts out just as sad but slowly starts to build up into something grand and epic...
Then comes 11's theme which starts out just really cool, but has this playfulness to it also. It's both fun and adventurous.
perfectly matching each doctor. Bad things kept happening to 9, 10 started out slow then completely blew your mind, and 11 just had fun with it.
9&10s themes give me chills...11s theme is just like "Hello, i'm the doctor, so basically...run.
Why won't people ever listen!?
have anyone ever thought about the fact that 10 is all alone when he regenerates? I don't know about the older series, but it seems like he's been the only one to be alone during the process...
The Second Doctor was alone when he regenerated into the Third Doctor, The Seventh Doctor was alone and in the morgue when he regenerated into the Eighth Doctor, and finally the War Doctor was also alone when he regenerated into the Ninth.
GhostPirate6 The Second Doctor was with the Time Lords when he regenerated. The Seventh Doctor was unconscious (or technically dead) and unaware when he regenerated.
sallyatticum
Still by the time he became the Third Doctor, he was alone and in his Tardis. As for the Seventh, that still counts as him regenerating alone. No one else was there.
GhostPirate6 My assumption was the fellow was talking about when the regeneration started.... and the loneliness that he must have felt at the time, as s/he used the phrase "all alone".
sallyatticum
In that context I saw it as literal and not as a sort of relationship thing. They also brought up the classic series so I went with the regular meaning.
One reason why Nine is my favorite is because he left when he did. While there was absolutely more he could've done, he did a fantastic portrayal of the character while he was there. Nine was simple, witty, and real, and ultimately he died in a way that was good for him: saving someone else. I wish like hell Eccleston would come back and do more as Nine, but I'm grateful for the scenes we have, cause they were portrayed with care, and warmth.
Nine was absolutely fantastic.
10: Man who regrets.
11: Man who forgets.
9: Man who regrets and forgets. (based on the 50th anniversary)
Donna also forgot
***** did you just...
***** GET OUT!!
***** LOL OMFG
No one mentions that horrible day
it starts from sadness to time to kick some ass
Then to "I just figured something out in my head and now time for my theme of going "I am the Doctor and I won."
I know right man.
Each theme suits each Doctor perfectly.
9th - The sole survivor, ridden with guilt
10th - Timelord victorious, and the one who regrets
11th - A mad man with a box ;D
The best Description of each Theme :D
Every time I here the ninth doctor, I cry wishing he had more than one season. And i still wonder why he's nobody's favourite.
The tenth's still the best tho.
I loved 9th. My absolute fav!
***** But the problem is... if you have never watched any of the classic Doctor Who, 9 doesn't seem too complex. Which kinda sucks for people who only watched the revived Doctor Who, where the only spec of complexity given to 9 was in "The Day of the Doctor" But the tenth doctor stole 9's lightning. XD
Omfg everyone the 9th doctor only has one season because he left its his fault he is not anyone's favourite okay
Connor Hart Well he is still some peoples favorites :P
It seems like as the themes progressed, the themes got filled with more hope and motivation leading up from the melancholy Bad Wolf to the higher energy I Am The Doctor. Hearing all three of these pieces side-by-side really emphasizes the transition. It's as if the themes are reflecting the nature of the Doctor, if that makes any sense whatsoever.
the doctor 1 grumpy pessimist 2 hopeful man 3 forced rescuer 4 intelligent explorer 5 runner away 6 selfsh grupy 7 brave slightly more serious 8 runs and watches the time war the war doctor watches as the war goes on and the horde of travesties is unleashed 9 the man who regrets and forgets 10 the man who regrets 11 the man who forgets and 12 the man who tries to grow up and stop others from making his mistakes and 13 to be seen
Time heals all wounds, just some slower than others
9:The serious jokester
10:The epic savior
11:The awkward adventurer
Or the socially awkward one
Ciaran Ritchie Great one for 11th XD
If Eleven were a human kid, he'd act like he was on a constant sugar high. XD
@@cicilys6944 Even if he never touched the stuff xD
All the Doctors are socially awkward. It's just not always obvious.
@@MrZAP17 the tenth was not, as incredible as it may seem.
Excellent blending of the tunes at 3:36-3:41!
Cicily S Ikr! Like why is nobody saying anything about it?
Yes ! So beautiful !
Bring back Russel T. Davies.
Sigh...
We can only wish
Majoogle Plays So people can't have opinions on improvements?
Majoogle Plays True, there are good and bad episodes from every writer. But I do think that Moffat isn't as good as some people say he is. There are other people who could lead it in a better direction.
Majoogle Plays
you mean Angels Take Manhattan?
11 has the best theme! I feel like it captures the essence of the Doctor perfectly.
yep
I actually think that a song like "This is Gallifrey" is more like it, the epicness, but also all the anger, and the doctor's bad sides...
Even though I am a hardcore tenth fan, I must admit that eleventh had the best theme song
same
same here
Same
Kevin Sakovich tenth have the doomsday theme
11th had the long song i liek the 9th version of the badwolf song more but they where all good
I love David but when he said I don't want to go I broke down
the thing with the doctor is that (and this goes all the way back to the first) when he regenerated, the new doctor is criticised and the old doctor is missed. then, at the end of his run, he regenerates again. the new doctor is criticised the old doctor is missed. and so on, and so on and so on. But according to many people, there's only been one doctor who immediately captured hearts from his first scene in the TARDIS with Rose: Ten
Well said
It's true
So true.
Damn right, that's my only problem with Doctor who. Well that, and the fact that my favourite left after just one season...
I "hated" ten for his first few episodes. I was super butt hurt that Eccleston had to go and some random guy comes in like he owns the place. Of course I got even more butt hurt when he regenerated himself, and to this day I don't think eleven lives up to the previous two.
I love 11th theme! I always feel like I'm going to an amazing adventure when I hear it!

I genuinely cried because I haven't watched this show in a while and they took it off of netflix which was the only place I could watch it off ;-;
Amazon prime
It's back on there. I just finished season 2 today.
No its not.
Maybe not for you, but it is for me.
Oli Graham What country?
I know this isn't the most popular opinion but music wise 9th theme is my favourite. It is very soothing in such an eerie way for a doctor that was born into warfare. 10th is second because of how it starts out with that soothing vocal melody but with a sad twist and then grows and buildsto be more epic. 11th is good but too much actiony sound to it. It didn't really capture any of the tragic parts of the doctor's character. Just my opinion of course.
You also have to take the situational use of the songs into account - Nine's and Ten's Themes mostly played when something dramatic happened, Eleven's mostly when he was boasting or explaining how he just outwitted someone.
I totally agree with you. Ninth's theme is the best piece of music in the whole series if I'm honest. Just a shame that it's so short compared to the others' :/
well 11th didnt really have alot of sad times and he was young and so ....... alive
skyla lavalley Really? Do some rewatching. There were about as many darker or more depressing moments as with any other new series Doctor.
He just tended to go quiet, make small, condemning remarks and/or downplay the issues instead of the open raging of his immediate predecessors.
I've always felt that 9 10 and 11's carry on. First is the soothing way to calm a crying child...the second is the sad experience and pain and the third is the release of joy and fun.
I love the themes of each of the Doctor's, it conveys the kind of character they are so well. 9's Theme and 10's Theme were quite slow, quiet and sombre, which fits their character, 11's was more fast, happy and loud, which fits his character.
well to be fair Matt had some seriously oversized shoes to fill.
Sandshoes, in fact
Davidson had it more
@@ciarantimothy8081 damn right
Are you my mummy?
that shit was hearthbreaking
not when the doctor said it in an episode with the sontarons, that was just funny

im so sorry)
matt smith's version got the best theme. it gets me pumped.
His theme is my fave 👌🏽😍
MrVad3r ikr❤💙
MrVad3r mine is 9th its calming😊
I like Nine's the best. Well, maybe I like Twelve's the best. Or Ten's. Or Eleven's...
MrVad3r definetlyyyyy
Oh my god, easily the best mesh of all 3 tunes, the transitions between tunes are flawless, you deserve all the likes you get
My favourite doctor was the 9th one, i dont know why he just was. And i miss him
The reason I liked him was I think because he was arrogant and would insult someone first
I like him because he was the most dedicted to rose, he was the most carefull doctor..
MrKungFuMaster123 I liked him because of his insults, and arrogance. But also because he is the doctor who just came back from The Last great Time war, and its obvious he had PTSD. They showed hints of him having it and parts of him dealing with it, but I wish they did a entire episode focusing on him dealing with his PTSD, the season finale did it a bit though. I still liked him because he is just the most tragic of the modern doctors.
the ninth doctor i my favorite too, its sad that he only got one season, i miss him, i thought he was a great doctor
yeah...
The ninth theme: Sorrow of a gentle creature
The tenth theme: Triumph over loss
The eleventh theme: basically, run/Look at me, I'm a target
All three of these guys did such a great job with the character. I'd really like to see what David Tennant's era would have been like if it'd had the consistent quality of writing of Matt Smith's era. I think David Tennant was my fav doctor, but I enjoyed the Smith era much more. I just really liked the Smith-era modern day fantasy fairy tales better than the Tennant-era space-age light sci-fi.
I'm still not sure what to think of the new tone of the show (and the new Tardis). The production values feel very Americanized to me (as an American). It's very different.
shut up thats confusing
Susan Coleman Are you related to Jenna-Louise?!
Sarah wow what a jackass
But Matt Smith had the worst written episodes of them all, such as power of three, for me Tennant was the best because of his ability to convey such powerful emotions, when he was regenerating i was literally in tears. I guess maybe because i thought Tennant was so good I felt Smith could never live up to it and to me he didn't.
9th: sadness.
10th: struggle.
11th: hope and new light.
Love the transitions between the themes, great job!
The man who regrets and the man who forgets.
2:26 The 10th
Doctor is wearing a bow tie! XD
Lol
Bow ties are cool...
The 2nd Doctor Wore A Bowtie
Aries Guerreo I know.
*Fandom explodes*
6:25 oh how I love this part of 11's theme. It is just the fairytale part of his run incarnate and it makes me so childishly giddy every time I hear it.
Whenever I listen to that part of 11's theme I really do feel like I was thrown back in time into my childhood.
The 9th Doctor was Fantastic. I loved the interior of the 9th and 10th Doctor.
FoxIGaming well even if you don't like him he is fantastic because he overused fantastic
Christopher Eccleson introduced me to the doctor, David Tennant made me laugh and cry the most, and Matt Smith made me wonder the most
cool video! I like the 11th Doctor the best!
I love how the 11th can make the stupidest mistakes , yet somehow have a sense of charisma and heroism. Its the fact he can act like a total idiot , and still come off as a deep emotional hero is why hes my favorite doctor.
for those of you saying the 11th doctor was funny:
he acted immature and joked around the most because he was trying to hide that he was viscous.
yes, he protected people on his life.
but there was an episode, "The Doctor's Daughter", where the humans on a planet were fighting a week-old war and had created a "clone" of the 10th doctor. at the end after Jenny, his daughter, was shot and killed, he took a gun and pointed it at the head of her killer. and about a minute later he threw the gun and said "I never would." 9 wouldn't have done that either. but 11 would have. 11 has lost so many people and there are so many people that want him and the people he loves dead that he's fucking pissed. he's decided basically that not killing people gets him nowhere. he's prepared to let people die and he's prepared to get revenge. he loves his companions a bit too much and gets too attached to them. 9 was just scared. he was depressed after the Time War and was going through extreme trauma. he was confused and wasn't sure what to do, and after he found Rose, he became more of himself and was happy and excited, making sure no one died and if they did, he got upset about it. that same thing goes for 10, but 10 was a lot more relaxed because the trauma and depression from the War Doctor and the Time War was wearing off a bit. 9 is a puppy in a leather jacket, 10 is a big fluffy dog in a suit. 11 is a murderer in a fez.
"11 is a murderer in a fez."
Loving this.
Is it just me that associates Bad Wolf with Rose rather than the 9th doctor
Chaotic CZcams I agree
i agree
Eleven's theme is so much more memorable than the others...
what is the meaning of this thats such a lie
disagreed.
logedyftw
I knew nine and ten had themes :/ because every time something important or sad happens during their series, it's always there in the background.
If you've been watching DW from 2005 then not really
Charizarzar Been watching since it first started reairing, Eleven's theme is still the most memorable to me.
9th By far, 10th is pretty sweet! 11th is not too bad.
Not expected to see you here bro. Whovians4Lives!
9th's is fantastic. Love it.
11th is my favorite theme, other are great too :)
10th is my favorite
***** Call me Teddy Who xD
It’s been nearly 10 years since this video was released, I really hope someone will make an updated version one day! :)
9's theme: "Bad Wolf / Doctor's theme" 0:00 -> 1:11
10's theme: " The Doctor's Theme" (series 4) 1:12 -> 3:33
11's theme: "I am The Doctor" 3:34 -> 7:26
Best TV show there's ever been, or ever will be. I'm a Whovian and PROUD!! =D
Mummy? Are you my mummy?
GO TO YOUR ROOM
I think 11's theme is more memorable for two reasons-- 9 and 10 are actually fairly similar in tune as well as tone-- a little sad, thoughtful, mournful. Don't get me wrong, I love them-- but 11's is different. It's upbeat, couragous-- victorious. You hear its theme and you know something amazing is about to happen; the day is saved.
He saved the lords of the time. Nothing greater could happen!
I totally agree , you hear 11th theme and it just gives you joy and excitement e.g Hope. Y hear 11th theme and you just want to turn to the Daleks or any other villain and tell them "Basically, RUN!" - 11th theme is so my favorite, I hope I'll like 12's as much.
I think the themes perfectly portray each Doctor too . 9th is morning in solitude and dread-ful, 10th is still mournful but he no longer feels he's in solitude. and 11th , 11th is just new and alien and gives off hope and joy and excitement. He has his dark, pensive moments , and ooh his rage, as 9th and 11th does - but in the end , he leaves you with excitement. Can't wait for 12th's theme.
You can think of the themes in kind of the same vein as 'Bad Wolf' Rose explained things to the War Doctor. Eleven forgets, Ten regrets. I think Nine is the one who grieves. He has just lost his home planet and all his people. His theme is very haunting and the lone voice makes him more isolated. Ten's theme is the same melody, but building upon it. More voices, more of a crescendo. He is the one still remembering the past and trying so desperately to put it behind him. Eleven is, to me, the adventurous Doctor. Don't get me wrong. All the Doctors love a good adventure. But Eleven just seems to go looking for trouble more than the others. He's more playful. He lives longer than the other two and so, he forgets. His theme reflects that.
I also agree with what you said it is way more up beat and 9 and 10's theme was so sad and depressing
Totally agree because I've always thought their themes told you a little about each Doctor's personality. 9 is the one who quietly mourns the Time Lords and that's why his sounded very mournful. 10 is the one who is still mournful and will always mourn the loss of his race, althoug he's able to forget about it sometimes and go on these epic adventures that help him cover his loss but in the end all that loss hits him big. 11 is the one that's always jumpy, energetic and so full of life. He's able to have all the fun in the world but he's still able to get serious and kick some arse.
You should update with 12th's Theme from Deep Breathe.
*deep breath
I haven't been up to date with this Doctor Who season. I've only watched episodes 1-3. As far as I know the song you're referring to was only played during that episode. That hardly makes it the theme for 12.
OddSunStudios You're correct, that song hasn't been played since that episode.
Davis Octavian Costelloe Exactly. A lot of people jumped on the first song that sounded like a theme before the season can run its course. If any one could help me identify 12's theme that's be great,
Vie seen all seasons and episodes im a doctor who freak ok😊
David tennant's stern face though👌🏻
right
more like sexy
yes
M.Kookie Army? ❤️
you know it *clicks tongue*
the 11th Doctor's theme is truly my favorite ^_^
***** It's like a Thanksgiving feast it is! It's all good but certain foods gets goobbled up first :D
Same here! :D
So true my bro so true XD
We'll i like the 12 them song
Remember: The Daleks always come back.
but how
I'm not sure. The Doctor even said it himself. I don't even think he knows.
#DavidTennant :)
OH MY!
DUCKS?!?!? I HATE DUCKS!!! They're such P.E. teachers....(P.E. stands for pure evil btw.....)
I traveled to another country to watch this epic video
That CZcams.
Coulda used a VPN
Burned up a star to watch THIS..lol
I miss 10th Doctor very much :(
Me to
He was…UPGRADED
11ths is the best, That tune has become like a secondary theme tune for series as a whole now, and almost as well known!
11 likes! 11-ception (DONT SCREW IT UP YA TROLLS)
If I ever have children I will play this to them to put them to sleep.
me too.AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Never forget the 9TH DOCTOR who was absolutely FANTASTIC!
9ths doctors is my absolute favorite. The eeriness but happiness near the end PERFECTLY captures dw for me. 10's is also great especially near the end. 11's is just chaotic
The 10th Doctor's theme really captures the watcher's attention. There's drama, action, and sadness in that song that will connect to you or even bring back old memories.
Don't lie it made me laugh
How the hell did you find me Hali??
Because I'm the doctor 😂😂😂
No lol jk u know how it just shows up people sometimes, yea you showed up and I followed u so yea
Everybody lives, Rose... Just this once.. Everybody lives!
I read his lips too...
cry evrytiem
I feel there’s a constant pressure from a lot of whovians about who is the “best” doctor. I don’t think there is an answer to who is the best because each doctor has their own quirks and different pros and cons.
9 was fresh off the timewar and the darkest doctor yet, he was harsh and cold but never cruel. He may have lost his way with the daleks but who could blame him? He was probably the best way to revive the show and give it that flare. He had a good arc from cold hearted badass to compassionate, less cold badass. He probably had the most or close to the most character development out of 9, 10 and 11.
10 is considered by many as the best doctor or the most popular doctor. Now it’s not up to me and I’ll admit he is one of my favourites but I don’t think he was as good as we remember. While I agree he’s probably the most human and compassionate out off all doctors in New Who, I think that spoils the alienness of him. He is a good doctor, he takes his companions to exciting places, he saves people and civilisations, he stops the monsters and bad guys, he does everything you’d expect from the doctor. He without doubt has some of best episodes in all of doctor who, with End of Time part 1 and 2 being my favourite 2 part episodes ever.
But I think the problem with Tennant is that he is so popular that if you have a different opinion like, “I prefer Matt Smith because he’s funnier” the vast majority of people will look down on you like you’re some kind of scum. I really like 10, he’s definitely in my top three doctors but I don’t know if he is my number 1.
11 is arguably the most split doctor off new who. A lot of people like him and the messages imbedded in his speeches and childish attitude while others feel he was a bit too goofy and a bad follow up from the more serious and sometimes dark Tennant. When I watched Smith I was in that turning point of child to adult so his constant excitement and moving around really appealed to my young self while his dark moments and his “time lord” moments excited my adult mind.
He probably is my favourite because I’ve got a slight nostalgia factor but I think out of 9, 10 and 11 he was probably the best. He had good monologues and speeches, he had some funny moments that I’m sure everyone laughed at and he has a lot of pure emotional moments. I cried when Tennant left, I cried when Donna lost her memory, but I have never cried as hard as I did when Amy and Rory “died”. I did see it coming but it was so pure that I could help myself.
I didn’t have any moments like that with 9 or 10, maybe end of time part 2, but I did see more tear jerking moments with Smith. I think his childish attitude and overall happier episodes helped with this as when it did happen, it came out of nowhere. Which Tennant you kind of expected a sad moment or a sudden death because that was a theme in his run as the doctor.
As for who I think the “best” is, I really couldn’t decide. Eccleston had some, dare I say, fantastic episodes. Tennant had s lot of emotional moments, I didn’t cry at them all but I acknowledge that they’re there. And Smith had humour plus a bit of occasional emotion.
I think my order for these 3 is Smith, Tennant, Eccleston. It’s all very close because I like them for different reasons but that’s kind of what makes this show so special. Each doctor has his own unique thing that distinguishes them from everyone else. Feel free to attack me for not putting 10 as my favourite but honestly, I don’t feel he’s as good as people say he is.
The difference between 9 & 10's compared to 11's tells you so much. How 11 is truly the man who forgets and 10 as the man who regrets
Its brilliant how well the songs fit together: it kind of portrays everything the Doctor was going through. First, all the losses in the Time War, then his slow regaining of hope while still facing so much sadness and finally his return to being a mad man in a box, taking people on adventures in time and space.
I love how Ethereal 9's theme is.
9: Is the more mystrius kind.
10: Have the saddest, can almost feel the sorrow through it.
11: Got the more epic feel to it, with a pinch of action.
But personally, I think David Tennant was the best doctor.
Don't get me wrong, Matt Smith did an awesome job as an actor, but I just didn't like his personality. Felt like they made The Doctor to ridiculous and childish.
Read that it was because they wanted to attract a younger audience, so can respect that choice in some way.
And I didn't like the "Amy & Rory" story as much either. 2.5 seasons was way to much with them. Maybe 1 or 1.5 would have been enough. I got so tired of Amy getting into trouble in every episode and surviving without a single scratch.
I wish they skipped season 6, it was the worst one of them all. Only interesting was the story behind River Song.
Although, I loved the second half of Season 7. Especially the 50th anniversary episode.
***** You're the first one I've ever seen to say that... I'm not knocking you to each his own, but I like all of the Doctors, but yes, not every episode will be perfect just as every song on an album will be a single. I liked most of 9, more of 10, and it took a while for 11 to grow on me, but he was great too... Why do you think 10's stories sucked? Stolen Earth? The End of Time?(I realize I may have picked the only ones you actually liked haha)
Also 11 being childish and ridiculous stems out of the Second Doctor who was more clownish
Gredran
It may be the Waters of Mars episode
Sir Twinkie Ah yes, that was a weird one... I can't think of one I didn't really like, even the one where he's a human although slightly annoying is kinda cool
Gredran ya the one were he is a human is sort of wierd, the creepiest one was the
Empty child
9 is the best theme, creates mystery and emotion.
I kind of hope they go back to that darker theme of Eccelston / Tennant for Capaldi.
I hope they do a bit of a mix, because 9/10's was a darker and calmer theme, but it doesn't fit a lot of scenes because of how calm it is, but 11's was energetic and meant things were getting exciting. So a blend of the them wouldn't be a;; that bad if done correctly.
Tennant wasn't really a dark Doctor at all - Just really angry in places.
Well his theme was dark like 9's but a lot calmer, and not as dark but you could still here 9's theme in there. (Not literally)
I LOVED Eccleston - he kind of was sad, melancholic and dark as compared to the other doctors in the new series.
0:48
"Just this once, everybody lives!"
One of my favorite lines in the show.
9th: Guilt and Sorrow
10th:Regret and Rage
11th: I AM TALKING!
Matt's theme really fits his character!
Ecleston (i don't know the spelling) and Tennant has serious themes while Matt's just has a jumpy joyous theme which plays whenever he figures out something.
Thats the song I was looking for, the 9th doctors theme, thank you very much
Doctor Who - Bad wolf theme ;)
Thanks for putting these together like this. It would be interesting if Murray Gold could write a suite for all the Doctors so far (no doubt he is writing a theme for the Twelfth Doctor now), something along the lines of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" with a different theme for each Doctor. Just a thought...
Tenths theme gives us that feeling of walking alone and sad, but always being the hero
I think matt smith is the only doctor that is or funny why did u have to leave matt like this if u didn't want matt to leave R.I.P matt smith 2011-2013
syed sameerulla Tennant and Eccleston, especially the former, had lots of funny moments. However, unlike Smith, those moments existed as breaks from most of their usual dialogue.
2010-2013 :)
Mattsi didnt die :D
He died from doctor who :)
But no he said matt smith sooooooooo thats the actor :D
9th: Tragedy
10th: Hope
11th: Triumph
9s theme is great 10s theme is excellent but 11s is just like YOU WANNA MESS WITH ME??? IM THE FREAKIN DOCTOR.
Yeah, they're all very good, but I think 11 is outstanding
couse I AM THE DOCTOR!!!
The Doctor doctor do you mind if i ask you something?
The Doctor hows your TARDIS going? fine?
raniya eshaiyan
Hmm.. pretty good why do you ask..?
Man, the part where 10's theme segued into 11's was like music from a movie trailer: first the sad, dramatic bit, but then comes the cool build-up of I Am The Doctor's first notes, and I go: "Hell yeah, baby!"
9th through 10th, sadness turning triumphant with Rose, then turning back into the mellow theme, but more powerful.
Eleven's my favorite, hands down.
so is mine 9 and 10 are just people saying ooo
Alyda Hallows I can get why people like it if that's their preferred music genre, but I think Eleven's is epic and exciting.
Alyda Hallows The 10th theme is an elongation of the 9th and fixates on the entity that is 10's persona. It isn't just the matter of it saying: "ooo"
Alyda Hallows But Nines theme matches his broken personallity from the time war
MrBill0327 How is his personality so much more broken in Nine's era than Ten's?
The hardest part for all Whovians is watching the Doctor die then having to get used to the new one.
Indeed... I know I'm going to dislike Peter Capaldi... and I know I'm going to cry when Peter is about to regenerate....
Alexander Eberle Peter isnt going to regenerate sadly... he only has 13 regens... Lets just hope ... TIME TRAVEL!
Adam Moulder uh...... No Peter is the 13th have you not seen the trailer of the 50th anniversary.
SnowFlakesOfDestiny
Yeah, but we all know they're going to make up some way for him to get extra lives:) It's Doctor Who, making stuff up is the name of the game. ...Not that that changes the fact that there's going to be some tension in the show stemming from the fact that he's on his last go round.
The Time Lord High Council made it pretty clear in The Five Doctors that they can just hand out extra regens if they want to, implying that the limit is one they'd put on themselves rather than anything inherent. But the High Council is gone now, so...we'll just have to see what happens!
Adam Moulder Oops... just looked into that, he is the very very very first doctor. He is the original doctor before everything so basically is John Hurt the first? Does that make Matt the 12th?
Can I just say that mix from 10 into 11 is brilliant
Nine and Ten's themes are slow and rather melancholy to reflect their regrets on what happened during the Time War and the losses they suffered during and afterwards. Eleven's theme is manic and adventurous which shows that in a way he has come to terms with it.
I could not stop humming "I am the Doctor" after seeing Eleven's first episode. So freaking catchy! I mean, the Doctor's theme/Bad Wolf are great songs, but I prefer the adventurous tone of "I am the Doctor" over the melancholy tone of the other two.
9's themesong is the best!
11
10th Doctor ❤️ Forever and Ever
I love all the doctors, from Hartnel to Capaldi, all of them undeniebly played the part of the doctor very well, however, I like Matts a little more than the rest!
t The themes really represent the Character of the doctor . 9 and 10 still with their grieve about their lost world. 11 more like " the oncoming storm" :)
11 is also "the man who forgets" as stated in the 50th anniversary special."
10's is slightly more upbeat and wonderful sounding than 9s
Who mouthed the words everyone lives rose just this once everyone lives when he said it. I did
The 9th Doctor's theme music sticks with me the most. It describes who he truly is inside. Broken and damaged, with a few sparks of life still left in him. It's haunting and hopeful at the same time. Beautiful.
I think Eccleston was the best. Tennant and smith were very good though.
I want Russell T. Davies to come back!!
He was the worst!!
Yes Eccleston was best then Smith, I also wish Davies would come back!
RTD won't come back. He was asked to pen an episode but he declined. He's done with the show.
Einez Crespo Shame
Super Scope His decision.
Can I just take a moment to point out how smooth the transition from 10's to 11's themes.
Oh this is AWESOME!!
11's theme is my fave! But they're all great!
Whenever I hear either 9 or 10's theme I get the chills ...
Not to be a tell tale ,but the transition between my 10th and 11th regeneration theme song gives me chills
