Thanks for the nice comments about the Adventure Games. I was lead programmer on them, and it was an absolute dream come true for me to work on them, as a lifelong Who fan. Also, I met my wife when she came in to do animation on the Gunpowder Plot, so they had a pretty major impact on my life too 😀
Any fun stories about the development of those games?
@@crashbash8549 To to honest, the development itself wasn't a huge amount of fun for the most part - it was a very small team with a tight schedule (that couldn't move, as we had to release the episodes in time with the TV stories). The main reason we went for a single large story for the second season was the difficulty of essentially making four games at once for the first one :)
That said, we got to visit the then-new TARDIS set in Wales, which was a great day. And, for a classic Who fan like me, it was amazing looking round the prop store. For some reason, they had the 5th Doctor's TARDIS prop in there, along with loads of other stuff. There was also a press day they did at our studio where they brought journalists in to see the game and also watch a preview of Time of Angels before transmission. So I got to watch that in our work meeting room before it was on TV. They also brought the paradigm Dalek props out to Sheffield train station, and had Nick Briggs voicing them live talking to commuters, which was a lot of fun.
The video mentions the voice acting in the final episode - that one was directed by Gary Russell and recorded at Moat, where Big Finish do their recording, which probably helped a fair bit. I'm not sure how/where the others were recorded.
Im glad you got such a thing out of working on the adventure games and I want to say thank you for making one of the biggest parts of my childhood and im sure of so many ithers my age, played those games over and over when they came out, I replayed them again recently. Also just wondering if you could disclose any details on the potential stories of the second series? I've heard rumours of episodes that were originally part of this second series (There's a comment on this video saying Into the Dalek should have been part of it which I thought was interesting) Thanks again and thanks in advance!
The games are awesome! You can tell how hard people worked on them
@@sircampbelltenson7297 I'm not aware of any other plans for season 2. There may have been discussions internally at the BBC but certainly by the time we started working on Gunpowder Plot, it was always the plan to just do one longer episode for that season rather than the four we'd done previously. We didn't have other games planned that got cancelled or anything like that.
Can we all agree that after the Story Pack on LEGO Dimensions, the BBC and LEGO should have just done a full blown LEGO Doctor Who game? Was the biggest love letter to the franchise any game has managed, and a full game of that style would have been amazing.
It really is also a shame we never got more Doctor Who LEGO in general. How awesome would it have been to get every Doctor in physical form.
Back when it came out, I bought LEGO Dimensions specifically for the Doctor Who content. I played through story mode with the Doctor as often as I could, and I loved it so so much.
@@gamer3ed484 There was either 1 or 2 Lego sets released around the same time as lego dimensions, one with the tardis, Clara, 12 and 11
@@gamer3ed484 Sadly the IDEAS set sold poorly, despite getting support so quickly. It's a shame because I think it would make for an amazing LEGO theme
the structure of the earlier Doctors would've translated really well into a LEGO game format.
The fact that so many of the original actors for the series are still active as their characters in Big Finish means we could get both readaptations of old doctor who storied but new and origin stories as well, full voice acted by the original cast.
fun fact: the Series 8 episode "Into The Dalek" starring Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman was first planned as part of The Adventure Games season two. but the concept for the story was liked so much by Steven Moffat that he took it to use for the TV show and The Adventure Games got cancelled
Rip the adventure games, bud that was a good episode
Eh, ever see the movie inner space?
That actually makes total sense
honestly that sounds sick af and id love a game like that, but do you have a source? ive checked the episode wiki and tried googling it and couldent find anything
@@voltran7677 it’s mentioned by Moffat in the behind the scenes features for the episode
"She has whatever this is, but it still does everything a Sonic can do! What is this!?" Jon, please, that's obviously a Tails.

8:13 It's actually quite possible they didn't have the rights to the Daleks or K-9 considering the BBC don't own the copyright for those characters.
It's probably both. It was a late in development rebrand, they used Daleks and K9, realized they didn't have the rights and quickly altered them.
Yep, Terry Nation and Bob Baker’s estate. Needs approval (and most likely a fee) every time they’re used

David Tennant coming back for The Edge of Reality was only possible because of the pandemic, he also did a lot of audio plays (which are sometimes awesome and sometimes... well.)
Big Finish baybeeeee
The lonely assassin game was made by the same people who made the phone game Sara is missing which also has the "oh you found a phone on the ground someday" plot but it's more culty horror-y and just fantastic! Not surprised to hear that they managed to bring some magic to the doctor who games.
I’d recommend the Simulacra game (same devs pretty sure, it’s the spiritual successor and the best of the “spooky phone game mystery” )
Playing The Edge of Time in VR was pretty incredible. The Angels sequence was absolutely horrifying.
Playing it in Edge of Reality NOT in VR was still horrifying - can't imagine how much worse it would be in VR, would have had a heart attack with a headset on!
I can just imagine Weeping Angels on PSVR2, now that the headset has eye tracking / blink detection....
@@somacat78 The PSVR 2 game Switchback VR has a similar enemy to the Weeping Angels that utilizes the eye tracking.
@@ericbazinga Yeah.. it terrifies me haha
i played it in VR and I tried to let them touch me to see if anything happened, but despite literally turning around at one point and waiting, i couldn't actually lose that minigame.

Both Karen and Matt are pretty physical actors; switching to voice-only can be tricky. Neither has agreed to do Big Finish for probably the same reason.
Also Karen Gillan is a massive Hollywood star now who probably doesn't have time.
Mind an audio drama can be made relatively quickly… but probably
Honestly would play the absolute hell out of a Modern Doctor Who RPG that’d allow us to create our own doctor, create our sonic screwdriver, choose our companion, & upgrade the Tardis.
Best Doctor Who game? Doctor Who Legacy. The Puzsle RPG ! with free flowing gems! Hundred characters and the deepest hidden fan favorite ones!

No transactions, clothing dlc, or online drama either. Made by real fans and not Electronic Arts or Ubisoft please.
35:50 You can also spoil the Silurians at the beginning of the game. In the TARDIS, touching the console cause 1 of like 5 conversations to happen. For some reason one of the conversations replaces Amy with a Silurian. Don't know how or why, but it always happens on that one conversation.
I’m really sorry to break your heart because it’s a fact you bring up multiple times: but the Emperor Dalek DID appear in the classic show, in ‘evil of the daleks’ in 1967 with the 2nd Doctor. Fantastic video though!
And although not an 'Emperor Dalek' proper, Davros is reflected to as the Emperor Dalek in Remembrance of the Daleks.
@@xxnoxx-xp5bl more self proclaimed Emperor lol but the imperial Daleks do address him as Emperor
@@Mark-nh2hs Aren't all Emperor's self proclaimed? And if the Imperial Daleks agree then it's kind of validated.

8:05 Um actually Daleks first walked up stairs in remembrances of the Daleks in 1988
Came to the comments to say just that
@@hylerj Ye, I've been searching for this comment too
One was able to levitate itself out of sand back in the sixties
@@plantainsame2049 IIRC, in Extended Universe Dalek Chronology the Silver and Blue "Skaro" Daleks actually came after the (Grey and Black) Renegade Daleks! so they had a lot of upgrades from them, hence why they could Levitate, just not very high or for very long as it drained their power battery banks too much..so Stairs were still a no go , but, originally restricted purely to the Ruined Bunkers and the New Dalek Dome, some downgrades as well, such no Internal Nuclear Reactors for power like the Earlier Renegades, hence the need for the little "Dish" on the back to Receive Broadcast Power. Hence why they could Levitate for a short while to a low height while the Renegades couldn't, but Renegades did not need the Dish on their Backs and could use their Guns more Frequently, an inboard Nuclear Reactor rather than a Battery-Bank like on the Skaro Dalaks.
So the 1960's "Skaro" Daleks are sort of the "Missing" Mutation between the Renegades and the (White and Gold) Imperial Daleks, as Davros based some of the Upgrades for the Imperials on the Upgrades for the (by then Extinct due to the events of "The Daleks") "Skaro" Daleks, with the Bronze "Time War" Daleks being the Successor to the Imperials, then the Paradigm Daleks, which also attacked an Alternative Universe that featured a Human "Doctor" ...thus making the Peter Cushing Films Canon, but only via AU!, being their Successors based, as were the Renegade and Skaro Daleks on Pure Kaled Genes rather than a Mix of Kaled, Human, and Thaal Genes like the Imperial and Bronze Daleks.
There is also a "Fandom" Mutation that combines the more "Tank" like Bronze "Time War" Dalek Design with the "Imperial" Color scheme, (and it looks Incredible!) so possibly the Missing Mutation between the Imperial and the Time War Daleks.
Dalek Lore is proper Complicated.. and that's before we come to "The Abomination" that is the "Special Weapons Dalek" ! Mutated Even Further and Sent Insane by the Massive Radiation Backwash from it's Nuclear Barrage Cannon, resulting in a Mutant so utterly unhinged that the Other Dalek's are terrified of it and Refuse to go near It (Hence the Rust and the Dents and the Oil and Grease Stains and General "unmaintained" Appearance that it has), and would even Exterminate it (as "Impure" and "Not a Dalek" due to the Extra Mutation from the Gun's Radiation) if not for the Emperor Dalek (Davros) Personally Ordering its Survival!
There are also the "false daleks" from Jubilee (Daleks. Do. NOT. Sing!) , Old Disused Cases taken from Dead "Skaro" Daleks that lost the 1903 Dalek War against Earth (6th Doctor Big Finish Extended Universe) in Another Universe, and controlled by Mutilated and Brainwashed Slaves (People with Dwarfism and other Disabilities) to think and act like a comedy "Music Hall" Dalek for the Amusement of a Dictator and His Wife in a Terrible, Nazi Germany Style (like in "inferno") , "English Empire" that came about as the Result of the 1903 Dalek War.. if you really want to get Complicated.
Yet, it does explain why 1960's Dalek's could just about Levitate.
@@simeonyves5940 Wait what source States that because from what I can tell. They seem To be three different versions of the empire
Pregenesis post genesis and post time war
They were all classic before Genesis. They were gray after and then they were bronze after the time war
But this is just me spit balling. I'd love to hear more about what you're talking about
Also, I'm pretty sure the movies with Peter Cushing are movies in universe And the doctor has had peter cushing appear in movies after his death
04:18 Well... of course there is an episode about the Loch Ness Monster, 1976's Terror of the Zygons with Tom Baker's fourth Doctor.
In 1985's Timelash, the villain got turned into the Loch Ness monster as well, and it could have also been the Myrka from the infamous episode Warriors of the Deep
The Loch Ness Monster was awesome.
@@jam-the-hologram I love that you mention that Warrios of the Deep is an infamous episode and not Timelash
45:29
TBH turning the population of Earth into Daleks is a lot more scary a concept than you'd expect from a LEGO game. Granted it's exactly what the Cybermen do, but you wouldn't expect this kind of game to go there and I kinda have to give them props for that.
Taking inspiration from Terra Firma?
@sslaxx No.
That Lego Dimensions has not only every interior for the TARDIS, but the Fourth Doctor's interior on a date that's a multiple of four gets the wood panel alternate interior is such a phenomenal bit of programming.
Also no mention that the Silence vanish if you're not looking at them?
A lot of people have already pointed out that the Dalek Emperor appeared in the 2nd Doctor story "Evil of the Daleks", but Daleks hovering up stairs was also shown in the 6th Doctor story "Remembrance of the Daleks" in 1988.
Remembrance is a 7th Doctor story
@@Charvey80 although a Dalek is ment to "fly" in the 6th Revelation of the Daleks just after the Glass Dalek was destroyed. It wasn't well visualised but I think they did improve effect to visualise it better ... But actually going up stairs your correct not until the 7th.
@@Mark-nh2hs yes now I think it through it's davros doing the hovering with the lightning coming out his hand in revelation(I'd totally forgotten that bit)..that's also the bit they put new effects on as a dvd extra so top marks sir!
@@Charvey80 davros did hover you are indeed correct but the Dalek which got vaporised in the room where the Glass Dalek was - which dispatched the drunk medic and the scientist daughter was meant to be a flying Dalek as well, just didn't pull it off that well lol. So there were two instances of flying Daleks in that story lol - well 1 Dalek and a Davros 🤣👍
@@Mark-nh2hs just checked on youtube and yes this is indeed a "revelation" for me..I only have the vhs so think I may treat myself to the dvd sometime soon for a closer look at this..good one👍
Actually a dalek could go up stairs somewhere in the 70-80s something. And yes, that is a plot twist that the general populace wasnt ready for lol
A Dalek is briefly shown hovering (as Davros is) in Revelation of the Daleks, but it's in Remembrance that they're shown hovering up some stairs.
8:05
Don’t you mean 1988? That’s the cliffhanger to part 1 of the 7th Doctor Dalek serial
Also a few continuity errors here. I don't blame you at all, but the dalek emperor did appear twice in the classic era before 2005 in evil of the daleks and remembrance of the daleks. Also the daleks did fly before 2005 in remembrance of the daleks and also it is suggested that one flew up some stairs in the dalek invasion of earth, their second story.
Not to be annoying, just thought I might say incase anyone wanted to know.
I guess it shows how little people actually watch the old shows. I guess doesn't help that preservation of some of the epidoes remain lost media.
@@Deliveredmean42 Yeah, absolutely. I'm actually trying to animate 2 of the missing episodes myself. Both parts of a story called the crusade which I hope to pitch to the BBC when it's finished
Also apparently a Dalek was ment to fly in Revelation of the Daleks when it killed the "Grave Robbers" after the destruction of the Glass Dalek, but wasn't well visualised but I think they updated it with new effects if I recall.
I had to laugh at the first game after the BBC ones starring Sylvester’s Doctor. Because when you got to the part of the Dr. using Weapons of mass destruction and hand grenades, I had to say, “They could’ve at least have the sense that the hand grenade button would have ACE pop out to use it.” We all know that the Doctor’s aberrance to weaponry hardly extended to Dr’s companions. And this is the 7th Doctor. You had your explosives expert, ACE, right there!
The first time the emperor dalek appeared was actually in the 60s with the second doctor in power of the Daleks but that episode was wiped from the bbc archive so it only exists in audio form. They did animate it the other year so I recommend watching that it’s quite good.
Huh, thanks for reminding me about that.
Surprised there aren't more comments about the Dalek stairs comment also. Daleks went up stairs in Remembrance in 1988
‘Twas Evil of the Daleks :)
There was also an emperor dalek in the 80s in Remembrance of the Daleks, but that one turned out to have just been Davros in disguise.
There's also a book.
Ever since I saw you had Doctor Who save data on your Wii, I was waiting for this video.

@@GetterRay why are the relatively new conservative doctor who fans so sensitive? doctor who has been retconned countless times and "ruined" by poor writers, every single time it's just been ignored. you will recover from a bad episode, no need to be a snowflake about it.
@@daiyahigashikata iowa has removed it from pbs....it is dead
Thank you so much for this video! Not only so I could see the games, but also for your words about Jodie. She got a raw deal in so many ways and I pretty much left all the fandom spaces because of how she was spoken of. I was kind of taken aback at how much it meant to me to speak well of her time as the Doctor.
I don't understand why people feel the need to be awful to actors who are just trying their best with the material they are given. Large fandoms like Dr Who and Star Wars really are scary things.
I always thought that the best way to make a Doctor Who game would be to make it an open world RPG with loads of different locations to explore from the show. There would be a character creation system so you could make yourself be the newest incarnation of the Doctor, or you could design your character to look like your favorite Doctor from the show. There would be multiple branching quests that you can complete in a number of different ways to complete your objectives. You can use persuasion to solve problems diplomatically; you could use your hacking and stealth skills to avoid enemies and solve puzzles. You could find and recruit companions to accompany you on your journey, or you could go it alone. Regardless, the choice is yours and you could carve your own Doctor Who adventure!
After spending way too much time playing around with Doctor Who mods for Garry's Mod(which are still the best video game Who content), I agree. These, like the really fun to fly and completely functional Tardis, would work so well in a true open world RPG.
There are even some games that have figured out how to deal with open world time travel(No Time is one that comes to mind, but it's the simpler one), there really is nothing that'd stop a dedicated studio with today's technology.
You could go full vallyard and shot people
@@BierBart12I rase you fallout who vagas a mod for fallout new vagas
While the tardis models are less detailed And accurate actually flying it is more intricate
And due to the nature of new vegas, you can do quests And where all the doctors outfits and A couple companions And the original masters
And use different weapons like the Sonic the lazerscrewdriver and dalek gunsticks
And it's in new Vegas which is already Is that a great role playing game so you can Continue playing as the doctor thew the normal story
Some of my favourite doctor who games were the flash games on the bbc website around 2010, and also that one FMV game that came with doctor who dvds around that time that was specifically designed for a tv remote. I thought that was so cool back then
As a Doctor Who fan and a Jon fan, this video is everything.
It's kinda crazy how so few of these games incorporate the concept of dying as the doctor causing you to become the next incarnation (dying as 1 makes you respawn as 2, 2 becomes 3, etc)
The Gunpowder Plot game continues to be one of my favorite computer games I've played to date, just plain fun. And I don't know about you, but the Vashta Nerada game TERRIFIED me, so much so I was unable to complete it. Which is a compliment, because the Vashta Nerada are terrifying.
i decided to give the lonely assassins a shot because of this, and i must say that it’s the most fun i’ve had with doctor who in a long time. it’s genuinely phenomenal 10/10
simulacra
@@TheHarbinger484i mean yeah, but no. similar concept, kinda, but entirely different execution
Its great to watch this because I myself was curious about the Doctor Who games since my phase way back when. Although it was weird watching this. Really feels like 2012.
I think the reason the Minds Of Terror didn't use TV enemies is because the writers retained those rights. K-9 got his own show that's unrelated to Doctor Who AFAIK in 2010, and the revival almost didn't have Daleks because Terry Nation's estate wasn't giving up the rights.
If you enjoyed the lonely assassin I'd recommend the simulacra series, it's by the same developer and is a found phone horror series. It's so wonderfully made too!
I’m so excited for this video. Been waiting ever since Jon first announced the project
This video was literally made for me. Gosh DW The Adventure games takes me way back. I remember trying to get them running on my Mac, they ran but very bad and I don’t remember how far I got.
"Some angrier" *proceeds to show 12th.
Can't argue with that
Speaking of, one of the cancelled LEGO Dimensions projects was going to be a Red Dwarf world, which would've meant the possibility of an actual full crossover with Doctor Who for the first time. A massive shame it never came to fruition.
Also seeing Sonic with the Boys from the Dwarf would've been surreal yet hilarious.
Not surprised they cancelled that. Probably not too marketable outside the UK.
@@MuchWhitteringI mean they didn't cancel that specifically the whole Later chapters of the game were cancelled
Final Fantasy XIII-2 had a time travel mechanic which I think would suit Doctor Who completely... Where you can basically travel to multiple timelines whenever you feel like, and when you return it being as if you never left... So you could have different quests and storylines happening concurrently (but, obviously, main quests being the focus to keep you following the plot). But I think a game where you have two or three stories you can switch between when you feel like or when it gets too difficult, all building to a final overarching plot, could be really really cool
I know absolutely nothing about Doctor Who aside from the Tardis and weeping angels but this ain’t gonna stop me from watching an hour long video from Jon!
watch it
The 60th anniversary would be a nice jumping on point I’m sure 😉
me in a nutshell XD
I remember being really excited to play the Adventure Games when they released, but as a young kid in the US, I never found a way to get ahold of them.
I might have to "sail the seven seas" and find a copy one of these days
I'm pretty sure the thing Amy uses in 'Doctor Who: Return to Earth' is the Sonic Probe she made in 'The Girl Who Waited'
In the VR game, the part where the TARDIS materializes and you walk inside it for the first time is pretty magical. I'm sure the game loses 90% of its charm without the VR aspect
Corrections (because I have been obsessed with Doctor Who for longer than I can remember):
Daleks were first seen going up stairs in 1988. However, Daleks have been climbing stairs since the 60s, as in Dalek Invasion of Earth, humans run up stairs to escape Daleks, it cuts to them running away down the street, and then cuts back to the Daleks at the top of the stairs (without giving clues as to how they managed it).
The third game on the BBC Micro didn't have Daleks or K9 due to the fact that the BBC does not own the Daleks or K9 - not due to the game being a Doctor Who reskin of a different, unreleased game.
The Dalek Emperor was first seen in the 60s story Evil of the Daleks, which is a TV story (and the last time Daleks were seen until the mid 70s). The Dalek Emperor would reappear in 1988, but it's not the same Dalek (Davros usurped the Emperor off screen, and the giant white Dalek structure he rides in during the boss battle in Lego Dimensions is how he looked when he was Emperor).
You called them "Saltarans" - they're Sontarans.
Amy in Evacuation Earth likely has the Sonic Probe her older self had in The Girl Who Waited.
Despite these mistakes, thanks for the video!

the low quality TARDIS icon doing Club Penguin dances:
Edge of Reality's extra chapter is foreshadowing the regeneration from Jodie's Doctor back to David's, even if it's not the Tenth.
54:07:
She did... She met five different Doctors in her final episode!
This video was really well narrated & incredibly funny! Thanks for the entertainment, I sat through the whole thing & subbed.
Loved this video but felt that I needed to point out that the Dalek Emperor also appeared during the 2nd Doctor's era
Doctor Who would make for a killer immersive sim (a la System Shock, Thief, Prey, etc), what with the show's emphasis on gadgets, using your wits rather than raw firepower, and MacGyvering solutions to problems. Only problem is, those sorts of games are already pretty rare on account of how intensive and time-consuming they are to develop, so the realistic odds of seeing one from a _licensed_ property are about 0.00000001%.
When Doctor Who was revived 2005 it pretty much instantly became my all-time favourite show. I can watch nearly any series even the bad ones like the Chibnall era and instantly love it. It annoys me that in the almost 60 years there hasn't been a truly good DW game.
I would love a point and click adventure game that you go through different time periods/alien worlds with the different regenerations to figure out the threat, use the people/items around you and dialog to deal with them.
I always thought an Episodic Doctor Who game in the style of Telltale would work quite well - as Doctor Who is episodic anyway.
@@friendlyotaku9525 That could work basically make an entire series but do it as a point and click/choose your own adventure style game like the telltale games
Oh dear, John’s lack of dalek emperor knowledge is going to haunt him
Doctor Who would make for an absolutely epic game if it had a decent budget. Imagine being able to pick your favourite Doctor (or make your own), design your own TARDIS, sonic screwdriver and pick your companions, and then travel through the universe and across different time periods saving the day, and fighting classic Doctor Who monsters! It would be incredibly fun and unique! And you wouldn't need any knowledge of the show to enjoy it. Doctor Who is very well-versed in making itself accessible to brand new fans.
The Loch Ness monster is actually canon in Doctor Who. She's known as the Skarasen, and acts as the Zygons' base of operations.
I love how you just ignore the emperor Dalek from Evil Of The Daleks, and a Dalek going up stairs in Remembrance Of The Daleks
Probably didn't know about them
Just like people always fail to remember the dalek that levitated itself out of sand in the sixties
there's actually a game series that does the same thing as lonely assassins, just not about doctor who, but with similar gameplay. it's called "a normal lost phone", and there's at least two games, and there also around 2 hours long each, so to anyone who liked lonely assassins for more than just the dr who branding, then i recommend checking it out.
or the whole output of the same devs from The Lonely Assassins, like Simulacra 1 and 2. Or Replica. Or Vigil Files. Or...
I don't want to be the "well aktschully" guy but the Dalek Emperor actually appears in two Doctor Who stories. He first appeared in a missing 1967 episode called "The Evil of the Daleks". The audio for all of the episodes is still around and it got an animated reconstruction in 2019 if I remember correctly
Love this! Technicalities though… DALEKS are seen elevating up stairs in Remembrance of the DALEKS, a Sylvester Mcoy seria from 1988l. And the DALEKS Emperor makes their first appearance in The Evil of the DALEKS way back in 1967 AND in Remembrance of the DALEKS.
"Jodie never had any Doctor crossovers" Only if you ignore the episode where she met the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctors, and then regenerated into David Tennant...

Unless other commenters have already told you, if u play dimensions on the 4th day of any month, it'll change Tom Baker's interior to his second tardis interior
I work at a restaurant in the dish pit. And I love when Jon uploads a video cause his voice is audible over sounds of dishes and the machine. Perfect way to pass the time
The funniest part is how most of his ironical ideas of episodes actually happened on classic who
It's insane how much effort Jon put into this video.
Thank you soo much for this. I love the adventure games so it's nice to have a video speaking about them
Forgive me for nitpicking…
1.) The Loch Ness Monster actually plays a big-ish role in classic doctor who. Remember Sarah Jane even brings it up in school reunion.
2.) The Daleks elevated up some stairs before 2005. It was during the 7th doctor’s era believe it or not.
3.) The Dalek emperor made several TV appearances before 2005. The first time was with the second doctor, the last time with the 7th doctor.
This was a great video! Bringing two of my favourite things together! ☺️
Should I mention that The Dalek Emperor does appear in the Classic Series in 1967, in Evil of the Daleks? Does this make me sound like a nerd?
Nah just making a correction and educating those who may not known this fact
Wow, the Lego Dimensions stuff is genuinely really impressive, it looked really fun and creative, I’d love to see a full LEGO Doctor Who game since I love LEGO games and Doctor Who. I really loved seeing all the old references, like Davros being in the barbecue-dalek from Remembrance with the 7th Doctor. It was so awesome to see some more great acting by Capaldi, the LEGO animations were really smooth, as a fan that really warmed my heart! Also, bonus props to the Jodie games for name dropping Spirodon, tears an obscure Classic Who reference that I loved to see.
The adventure games also seemed really good, and I’m curious about The Eternity Clock, I heard about them years ago but never really had a chance to try them, but now I definitely want to give them a go. After years of Chibnall, I’m desperate for some good early-revival Who writing, and it’s really awesome to see Matt Smith and companions again, they’re written and acted just like they’re from an episode and I just love it, even when it’s through computer graphics. I think if I’d had them as a child I would’ve loved all of them, it really felt like going back and playing some “lost episodes” from the golden age of revival Who, and it really made me miss those days as a kid where I first watched those episodes when they were new.
Considering the state of Doctor Who on TV, I’d really love to see more adventure games created starring the older Doctors, or even computer animated adventures, I know that’s basically what the Big Finish audio dramas are, but I never got into them since they don’t have any visual element. I think that could be a great way to give us some new awesome stories with our favourite characters.
1988, the Daleks start flying in 1988
Wow I thought this video was shelved, happy to be wrong! not a whophile personally but excited to see the doctor's video game legacy.
You guys made this video at the right time lately been getting into doctor who! I love David Tennant so far alongside Matt Smith and Peter capaldi I'm looking forward to seeing the next doctor! And I've been curious on the video games thnx ❤
13:40 You should totally post all the hilarious clips of Anthony Ainley’s The Master. Btw the way, every time I watch Ainley’s The Master I can’t get Brian Cox outta my head. I keep expecting The Master to start dropping F-bombs 😂
Agree with you about The Lonely Assassins game but there was one thing I found funny. I had rewatched a couple of Torchwood episodes before giving the game a go, and I realised that Mr Flint (the one who bought Wester Drumlins) was played by the same actor who played that strange security guard in Day One (you all know who I mean)
The references in Lego Dimensions were amazing... seeing references to "Talons of Weng Chiang" in the Victorian period blew me away. I wonder how much crowd funding it would take to get a patch with more recent doctors and sets...
If the adventure games somehow came back I'd be so so happy. City of the daleks was absolutely amazing.
Fun fact in Lego dimensions characters have special interactions with vehicles and other characters if their paired up together. The characters that interact with the 12th doctor are doc brown, sonic, maracline, homer, ba barcus, and some others. Starfire has special dialogue with the tardis, and Scooby doo has special dialogue with k9.
The interactions are on CZcams i recommend looking them up their really cool
This isn't a stupid ass April fool's joke btw, im actually telling the truth about there being special character dialogue with each other in the game.
Its a shame the Simpsons was such a mess in that with lots of locations missing and if they Did not have Hoimers VA was mute they even have a bootleg theme song. So bart in this game was mute least he got a funny line if he interacted with Sonic.
@@Acidonia150reborn yeah though sonic was the one who spoke with bart, Bart was mute for some reason
@@ethanxpsp2770 Warner Bros wanted more money they wouldnt pay this is why everyone but Homer and Krusty was mute and the reason why the Simposons level pack is based on a Scene just about Homer.
Doctor Who would work so well as a telltale style game, especially with time travel they could make it where your choices change history
As a long time Doctor Who fan and a GVG fan I can't wait to see this. Although my internet is down and I don't wanna use up my data so.... I'll have to wait. Had to just drop a comment at least.
When did the Tardis become the Backrooms?
I remember playing The first of the Adventure Games back when it came out with my family and having a lot of fun with it. Also as a massive Portal, Doctor Who and LEGO fan I really wanted to get LEGO Dimensions and the 2 level packs I named but it was all far too expensive. I did end up getting the Chell and Cyberman minifigures plus a companion cube, those two are some of my favourite minifigures. I did watch playthroughs of the game and levels but this video made me wat to get the full game for myself because there's a lot more to each level than I thought.
54:07 in the most recent episode of the show celebrating 100 years of the bbc, Jodie did get to crossover with the more earlier versions of the doctor which i would argue counts
Smh Jon, forgetting that daleks went up the stairs way before 2005 in remembrance of the daleks
Instant like from me, Jon. Massive Whovian from America!!
8:01 no no no
Daleks first went up stairs in 1988 in remembrance of the Daleks. Well known fact.
Shake my head indeed
28:29 , this hits right in the soul lmao even from the show it does that, that theme song starting up 100X louder than everything else.
Small side note about Lego Dimensions: You forgot to mention that the Cyberman is another playable character in the game and has different abilities from the Doctor and the Starter Pack characters. He also comes with a Dalek as a vehicle.
The madman
Wait, the show has had multiple dalek emperors. The original was in evil of the daleks, then there was the one where davros was pretending to be the emperor, then parting of the ways, then we had the dalek prime minister in asylum of the daleks
Oh, "The Last Dalek". I still think it's the best one.
Lego dimensions has more Dr who areas you Missed you just need to use the Tardis in certain areas in other story stages. A Few Dr who themed and other sries and the last one in the Fantastic Beast level is Inside the ship in Red Dwarf another BBC show which is the only console game its ever been in.
As a DW fan, this was such a nice video! I'm not from the UK, so I discovered a lot of things today !
This video is the exact video I've always wanted but never expected. Jon doing god's work
Dr Who: Return To Earth. Truly the Sonic Forces of the Dr Who series of games.
Jenna Coleman supremacy.
🤡
I love the idea that The Doctor cares about a concept like gender so little that Ten's two thoughts when hearing "You're a woman now" are "So my voice must be kinda different then" and "OH I wonder what my girlfriend will think?"
I'm SUCH a big Doctor Who fan and this video brought me so much joy!! Thanks Jon! 💙💙
Should we tell him the emperor Dalek appeared in 4 episodes including parting of the way.
