TFW When you realise that the doctor looked back on all his companions before regenerating into the 11th doctor because he didn’t know if he’d have the chance to do it later with him being on his last life :(
TFW you realise that awesome realization no longer matters cus the Doctor is immortal and can regenerate forever and was no where near his/her final incarnation
The time lords put a restraint on how many times the doctor could regenerate when he became baby Hartnell, that’s why Hartnell and Hurt started regenerating automatically when they got too old and Smith just got older and older until he was on his death bed
@@caitlin329 well, since most of them wouldn't recognize his face, he could have easily 'met' them and talked to them. Physically visited them, without letting on. Like when 10 first saw Sarah Jane again.
JustLife1214 meeting his previous lives and seeing his new one are different things. She understood that he could change but deep down in her heart, she never knew the man she knew would.
@@kennedylehane6562 To put an emphasis on it. Saying "The eleventh Doctor was not HER Doctor" is putting and emphasis on the 'HER' specifically. That's the part of the sentence that means the most
That is why I loved Jo so much, her sense of innocence, her purity, she was feisty but kind and that is what attracted me to her, plus the short blond hair and physical attractiveness , Katy in reality is also just as lovely , I met her twice, she was everything I expected, didn't let me down.
Jo was the friend you absolutely wanted if you ever got stuck in a situation in the back of a police car. She knows how to escape the cuffs and get you far away quickly while also getting the cops on your side and making them see the error of their ways. Spot on!
Sad to think that, when this was filmed, the actors behind Sarah Jane and the Brigadier were both still alive. Would have been marvellous to see a full classic UNIT team reunion. Still, at least this series reunited Sarah Jane with the Brigadier one final time and answered the long-standing Dr Who convention question of "whatever happened to Jo Grant?"
You always get detractors who moan about how 10's "farewell tour" was drawn-out, superfluous and self-indulgent. But RTD writing this in subsequently that Ten didn't just visit his own companions, but also all his previous companions from his other lives made it even more poignant. Then Moffat comes along and declares 11 to be the final incarnation of the regeneration cycle and now looking back on this scene to realise 10 visited all the companions he had ever travelled with because he knew (or presumed) he'd never get the chance to do it again is so heartbreaking yet endearing. This show is so wonderful when you look at it in retrospect.
It used to be, yeah. Hasn't been since they started putting overtly woke politics in it. It's also gotten to the point now where there's evidently no love whatsoever on the part of the current creative team for what the show used to be.
And that’s a why I just pretend that season 11 and 12 don’t exist, and the next doctor would be a universe reset or something. who ever wrote the newest (as of now) Doctor Who, just wanted to be remembered for something, and that something is a disgrace.
@@filthycasual8187 so, I guess you don't like Classic Who, either, then? I mean, they pushed some serious politics and human rights issues and other "SJW" stuff all the time, too. Like the one where the very last comment in the episode was the Doctor promising their then-companion Peri that they would be "eating a healthy, vegetarian diet from now on!" Just awful SJW stuff there, huh? See, that's the thing. Folks like you like to pretend that Classic Who didn't ever have any political or other social issues in their shows, when I know for a fact that it's just as heavily covered back then as it is now, if not more strongly! I wish you would be made to sit down and watch all those old episodes with someone that could pause the show long enough to say, "NOW do you see it?" Over and over again, with episode after episode! You would then HAVE to admit you are being hypocritical now!
Matt is old enought to be round for the six doctor tho I was born when it got axed so you could say my Doctor is 7th even tho I loved 10th and 11th 12th kind of liked him taken me while to warm up to him till Doctor who ended at 12th
This small scene shows how RTD could convey the emotional and iconic beats of Who much better than Moffat, and of course better than Chibnall, who has no handle on it at all.
It was from a two part episode from the Sarah Jane Adventures, called "The Death of the Doctor." Here's another excerpt: czcams.com/video/0-50ZvCUhj8/video.html
@The DW GEEK now days, the BBC (or somebody) is making animated versions of Hartnell's lost episodes. Maybe they will be able to make more "retro-adventures" that happen in previous Dr. Who eras, staring other actors who have retired from the show. 💡😀
@@cguy4131 it doesn't have to do with writing, it's budget. You could not portray the lovecraftian level of time fuckery that goes with a time war on screen, not easily at least.

It's ironic that, even though it was a spin-off series, Sarah Jane Adventures was probably more faithful to Doctor Who lore than even Nu-Who at the time. Sarah Jane Smith, K9, The Doctor, Jo Grant, the Brigadier, UNIT, honourable mentions to Rory, Amy, Ian, Barbara, Tegan, Ben, Polly, Harry Sullivan and they were going to get an appearance by Ace in the next series, had it gone ahead. It's so sad that they can't do any more.
@@JJfromPhilly67 kind of hard to continue the Sarah Jane adventures with Josephine Grant. But I do adore that they would have continued the series if the lead actress hadn’t passed away after their fourth series. That’s the magic of RTD.
It's so sad to think about how 11 did not want to answer Sarah Jane after she asked if 10 had been alright in the end. He did not want to make her upset because truthfully, 10 had been really sad in his final moments. He had also died alone and did not want to change. So 11 thought it best not to answer and just decided to change the subject instead. It is so heartbreaking to think about...
@@mrcritical6751 And Eleven, minus Twelve's kinda cheaty bit with the Confession Dial, ended up being the longest-lived incarnation we had on screen, going from about 909 years old to about 2,000 by the time he was granted a regeneration cycle (or his natural one was unlocked, whatever floats your boat).
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying. Oh my god, how did Matt do that? During Jo's speech, Hhe channeled the Third Doctor so well, just by body language. For a second there, he looked just like Jon. I love that they had this moment. I always loved Jo, and it's so nice any time we REALLY get a reference to the Classic era. There are so many good characters that have been left to the yester years.
I kind of hope that the newer series gets an appearance by Freema Agyeman, whenever its safe for them to film again. Imagine a Martha / Jack / Doctor reunion now!
one of my favourite scenes from the Whoniverse. Love the Doctor and former companions together, this should happen more in Doctor Who!! and love Matt Smith acting to a Russell T. Davies script....
like rose said the Doctor shows you a better way of living your life. but there is also a reason why alot of the doctor's companions die and why the Doctor has blown through so many of his regenerations it's because his life style is ride or die.
So heartwarming. Its moments like this that make fans believe that no matter which doctor is your favorite, you are watching each and everyone of them NOW.
I wonder what Sarah Jane is thinking: when she first met the 10th doctor, she had to adjust to Rose being the new companion. And now, she’s watching the 11th doctor reconcile and catch up with the companion before her.
I think people did slightly misinterpret this. He looked back on them all, not necessarily physically, but checked in on what they'd been up to/what happened to them.
the comics they do. in fact, 11th was the best man at barbaras and ians wedding which i speculate is how 12th got a job teaching and lectureing at the university
And THIS is why we should never dismiss companions before 2005. I was very guilty of doing that a while ago, but now that I'm well clued-up, I feel like Jo Grant, Sergeant Benton, Mike Yates and the Brig; they're like family. The U.N.I.T family. They were all the Doctor had when he was stuck on Earth, and even when he could explore again, for a while, he always came back to U.N.I.T. That should never, ever, EVER be forgotten.
You think this is heartbreaking? Tom Baker was supposed to appear as the Fourth Doctor in a future episode. Imagine seeing Four and Sarah Jane together again. I can, and it brings tears to my eyes.
@@peterjoyfilms could have done something like the Curator Doctor in the 50th anniversary. Also old Tom Baker appears in one of the remade versions of the incompleted 4th Doctor story "Shada", so maybe there's an angle too.
@@davidgraham8299 Well, it came from the mouth of the man himself. And they have brought back older doctors before as older men, like with the Second Doctor.
Through the course of his tenure, I think Smith channeled a bit of *all* his predecessors - part of his genius. And who could ever forget or really part with Jo Grant? Katy was - and IS - SO lovely. I've met her several times, and she is an absolute sweety!
I believe Matt smith said that rtd almost immediately understood how to write 11 and it really shows, 11as an eccentric old man with a face of a young man, he gave the role the presence of a grandfather even while playing off someone older than him, might just be me but I can see a lot of pertwee in this scene, he really does show that he is still jo and Sarah jane’s Doctor while still keeping it unique to himself
For some reason it just made me so happy when I saw 11, my personal favorite Doctor, connecting so deeply to both the RTD era and parts of Who that i wasn’t even alive for. Seeing it all connect, even in a relatively meh story like this, just felt like a piece of history.
My heart really lights up when Jo begins to realise that the Doctor did check in on her but he just let her live her life. He can’t always look back on the people he loves and cares about but he’s always there. “It really IS you! Isn’t it!” In that moment she doesn’t just see the 11th Doctor she sees HER Doctor, that elderly scientist in James Bond clothes. Matt Smith sells it so much with that simple smile and “Hello!” Ah I wish RTD could still write for Doctor Who even as a guest writer
I'm actually wondering when he would be able to drop in on him. He was in E-Space all his life, then travelling the Doctor for the rest of it. What did he just drop in on one adventure then run off when Davison showed up.
Just coming back here and welling up at how brilliant this is. Sarah Jane and Jo, with a great script. This is more Doctor Who than the last actual series. If only Russell have brought back Ace like he said he was thinking of doing, I;d have love to have seen that.
In my view, this episode truly showcases what Matt Smith was capable of in his performance as the Doctor. He never got to really BE the Doctor in Doctor Who. But in this story, he is simply brilliant; fully in character and believable as a quasi-immortal in a too-young body. This is my favourite Matt Smith Doctor scene.
This was so beautiful and sentimental and sweet. All the emotion between 11 and Jo makes you really see how much the Doctor still feels for those he left behind
he’s doing his best tenderness that Pertwee showed Jo, just as he shows Jane the same “you’re smarter and braver than you realize” that Baker and Pertwee showed
To think this is closest we would get to getting all of Pertwee's companions together. I think this shows how RTD would have handled the 11th Doctor if he was in charge reminds me of the later episodes of series 7 more elderly and mature.
Jo was never stupid to me. Unorthodox, yes, but not stupid. She was very much a good luck charm in those days, a source of serendipitous success that always helped even if it never seemed like it at first.
Honestly, why can't RTD come back just to write a single episode. Fine if you don't want to be showrunner but surely every now and then you come up with an episode that just soudns great and ask Chibnall about it.
I love how the companions always have these great stories of their lives after the Doctor. Sarah Jane kept up with her journalism BUT became like an Earth version of the Doctor later on. Jo, traveled the world, due to not traveling much when she was with the Doctor. So many companions go on to be better after the Doctor while they believe that they've done nothing.
So much emotion here - the Doctor looks all sad and old when Jo starts her speech. Also, I can't help thinking that Sarah Jane would have completely understood how Jo felt, since she had a similar conversation with the 10th Doctor (about him not returning, her waiting for him, etc.)
This scene just proves Matt Smith would have thrived had Russell T Davies stayed at the helm on DW. The stories and writing since his departure became sub par and it really lets down the actors who play the Doctor now, no matter how talented they are.
i love how Jo is probably the only one of the doctor's companions he didn't royally screw up in some way the doctor is known for yes making his friends better people but at the same time he does have a negative effect on them like it or not what Davros said in journey's end did have some weight and truth to his words. "you take ordinary people and you fashion them into weapons" while this coming from davros translated into a more objective truth is more like he takes normal people and turns them into heros. Jo on the other hand did everything herself she left the Doctor and grew on her own. The doctor didn't change her fundamentally he simply was a stepping stone for her as a person.
This is the beauty of doctor who as you can meet past companions and a lot of people who saw the classic episodes would see the continuity even though the episodes are different now to back then
I can't believe I've only just discovered this. Matt Smith in a RTD script 👍 is this just a one off or does he appear in more episodes? Wasn't Jo the companion in "the three doctors"?
Jo WAS 3rds companion at the time of the three doctors, yes, she has the privilege of being the only companion, besides the brigadeir and sargent benton, to meet the three original doctors
This is doctor who. Tear wrenching at Jo's faith and hope and heart warming as you learn the doctor, while holding off regeneration, searched for his friends and look into their futures too. Not mentioning anything post capaldi but if I'd start watching if there was more of this in the show.
yeahhh that's just not true though is it. if the doctor had been a woman from day one and chibby came along and made her a bloke i'd be up in arms. that's not even mentioning how he cannot write and ruined a rich lore that had been growing since the 60s. Nu-who is NOT Who.

interesting seeing RTD write for 11, I see bits of both 9 and 10 bleeding into his writing and performance here.
RTD's writing is more human/genuine. Typically Moffat writes the Doctor in a more stylised exaggerated way I think.

I would love RTD to write for the 13th Doctor. He knows Dr Who.

No way! 😮 Have you got the source?
How would that even work though... he's far too old unless it's just the voice
@@peterjoyfilms could have done something like the Curator Doctor in the 50th anniversary. Also old Tom Baker appears in one of the remade versions of the incompleted 4th Doctor story "Shada", so maybe there's an angle too.

No sorry don't believe that it's wishful thinking. Tom couldn't pull it off these days. Not in live action.
@@davidgraham8299 Well, it came from the mouth of the man himself. And they have brought back older doctors before as older men, like with the Second Doctor.
I need more Jo in my life.
Through the course of his tenure, I think Smith channeled a bit of *all* his predecessors - part of his genius. And who could ever forget or really part with Jo Grant? Katy was - and IS - SO lovely. I've met her several times, and she is an absolute sweety!
I believe Matt smith said that rtd almost immediately understood how to write 11 and it really shows, 11as an eccentric old man with a face of a young man, he gave the role the presence of a grandfather even while playing off someone older than him, might just be me but I can see a lot of pertwee in this scene, he really does show that he is still jo and Sarah jane’s Doctor while still keeping it unique to himself
He can't look back, but he never will stop loving them all.
I'm crying...the Doctor and his sweet Jo.
RTD, best writer in Who history! Take a bow son
1:22 Anyone else feel like 11’s channeling his inner 3’s mannerisms for Jo
of course!
I’m betting Matt spent some time looking in the mirror
For some reason it just made me so happy when I saw 11, my personal favorite Doctor, connecting so deeply to both the RTD era and parts of Who that i wasn’t even alive for. Seeing it all connect, even in a relatively meh story like this, just felt like a piece of history.
My heart really lights up when Jo begins to realise that the Doctor did check in on her but he just let her live her life. He can’t always look back on the people he loves and cares about but he’s always there. “It really IS you! Isn’t it!” In that moment she doesn’t just see the 11th Doctor she sees HER Doctor, that elderly scientist in James Bond clothes. Matt Smith sells it so much with that simple smile and “Hello!” Ah I wish RTD could still write for Doctor Who even as a guest writer
Visiting Adric must have been.... awkward
RIP Adric
Just pops in to say goodbye one millisecond before he blows up then buggers off
Lol, maybe he just visited the wreck in Chixulub to pay his respects.
I'm actually wondering when he would be able to drop in on him. He was in E-Space all his life, then travelling the Doctor for the rest of it. What did he just drop in on one adventure then run off when Davison showed up.
And Susan
This scenes so beautiful and makes me miss RTD so much
ObiWan Kenobi
Have you watched Farewell Sarah Jane? Beautiful heartbreaking piece of writing by Russell.
He's back !!
I never realized before how much Matt Smith resembles a young Jon Pertwee.
I adore this scene, makes me cry every time.
Just coming back here and welling up at how brilliant this is. Sarah Jane and Jo, with a great script. This is more Doctor Who than the last actual series. If only Russell have brought back Ace like he said he was thinking of doing, I;d have love to have seen that.
I think knowingly channels Pertwee, check out how he says "connectivity" at 2:57
In my view, this episode truly showcases what Matt Smith was capable of in his performance as the Doctor. He never got to really BE the Doctor in Doctor Who. But in this story, he is simply brilliant; fully in character and believable as a quasi-immortal in a too-young body. This is my favourite Matt Smith Doctor scene.
The speech in Rings of Ahkaten. That was the Doctor for me
The fact a scene from SJA can provoke more emotions, and have so much more depth than Doctor Who now is actually heartbreaking.
This was so beautiful and sentimental and sweet. All the emotion between 11 and Jo makes you really see how much the Doctor still feels for those he left behind
I love how he says “I’m with Amy now and Rory!” Like Sarah and Jo know how they are 😂😂
This is among my favorite moments in the Doctor Who franchise. It's touching to see the Doctor catching up with former companions like this.
I loved all those companions - the Doctor was just brilliant and still is. The Doctor is just like a growing up kid.
Really hope 13 visits past companions. I love moments like this. Proves the Doctor’s the same person, just a different face
lollllll
If 10 went to see all his companions before turning into 11, that means he saw the brigade...and that makes me extremely happy
Brilliant, sad and happy. Thanks for this clip. I miss Elizabeth Sladen.
he’s doing his best tenderness that Pertwee showed Jo, just as he shows Jane the same “you’re smarter and braver than you realize” that Baker and Pertwee showed
I'm crying after watching this clip. This is The Doctor right here, fixing a machine and being reflective all at the same time.
To think this is closest we would get to getting all of Pertwee's companions together. I think this shows how RTD would have handled the 11th Doctor if he was in charge reminds me of the later episodes of series 7 more elderly and mature.
we had the brig, so the only one two missing is Benton and Liz
@@julieeverett7442 - Yates, also. See what he's been up to since 'Planet of Spiders.'
@@julietfischer5056 true
The implication that Ten visited every companion he ever had up to that point is honestly heartbreaking
Jo was never stupid to me. Unorthodox, yes, but not stupid. She was very much a good luck charm in those days, a source of serendipitous success that always helped even if it never seemed like it at first.
this moment with joe puts a tear in your eye
WHO GAVE HER A *WHISTLE!?*
That’s Genius.
Watching this makes me wish RTD did some episodes for 11
personally watching this makes me wish he never left as showrunner.
Honestly, why can't RTD come back just to write a single episode. Fine if you don't want to be showrunner but surely every now and then you come up with an episode that just soudns great and ask Chibnall about it.
I would personally would tried to watch beyond Matt Smith’s first season as the Doctor.
Jo was soooo adorable and endearing man. One of the sweetest companions in Classic who
Ah back in the days the Doctor would connect with his companions.
Joe grant did u think I was stupid 13 I am still quite social awkward so am gunna keep working on the machine with Sarah
@@MR2PROSHOOTER haha oh perfect
Not seen this before. Love it. Hey Miss Grant. Good to see you
I love how the companions always have these great stories of their lives after the Doctor. Sarah Jane kept up with her journalism BUT became like an Earth version of the Doctor later on. Jo, traveled the world, due to not traveling much when she was with the Doctor. So many companions go on to be better after the Doctor while they believe that they've done nothing.
I'm just seeing this scene for the first time and it crushed me. 😭
It's a shame that Peter Capaldi's Doctor never made a Cameo Episode on Sarah Jane Adventures
So much emotion here - the Doctor looks all sad and old when Jo starts her speech. Also, I can't help thinking that Sarah Jane would have completely understood how Jo felt, since she had a similar conversation with the 10th Doctor (about him not returning, her waiting for him, etc.)
What a wonderful scene
The reveal that 11 should have been his last incarnation and he visted all the classic companions too is heartbreaking
When 10 Interacted with Shara Jane I saw 4th in his preformance
and When 11 Interacted with Jo Grant I saw 3rd in his preformance.
This scene just proves Matt Smith would have thrived had Russell T Davies stayed at the helm on DW. The stories and writing since his departure became sub par and it really lets down the actors who play the Doctor now, no matter how talented they are.
do i have news for you
This is gold to an old Dr Who fan. Sarah Jane Adventures is what Doctor Who should be.
This chokes me up just as much as when Jo left at the end of 'The Green Death'.
i love how Jo is probably the only one of the doctor's companions he didn't royally screw up in some way
the doctor is known for yes making his friends better people but at the same time he does have a negative effect on them
like it or not what Davros said in journey's end did have some weight and truth to his words. "you take ordinary people and you fashion them into weapons" while this coming from davros translated into a more objective truth is more like he takes normal people and turns them into heros. Jo on the other hand did everything herself she left the Doctor and grew on her own.
The doctor didn't change her fundamentally he simply was a stepping stone for her as a person.
i dont have 2 hearts but he is pulling on both of my heart strings
I just love the way Sarah goes quiet because she’s been there
And this ladies and gentlemen is why Matt Smith will always be MY Doctor.
I wish more classic companions made it onto SJA!!
I really like this clip jo& the doctor meeting again.
Amazing to look back on what this character and universe used to be.
I met Katy Manning at pensacon this past feb. she is one of the nicest people I ever met, got a few hugs from her all weekend.
I love scenes like this because it makes it so clear that the Doctor is the same person, just cycling through different appearances.
Am I the only guy, born in 1964, who cried most of the way through this? Jo Grant was such a wonderful character.
What an elegant woman she is. Timeless beauty. This scene is so emotional
anyone else kinda imagine Mr.Feeney in the Doctors place, from the end of Boy meets world, saying "I love you all"
I think everyone needs someone like Jo in their lives. :)
The Lady JoJo Grant.
This is the beauty of doctor who as you can meet past companions and a lot of people who saw the classic episodes would see the continuity even though the episodes are different now to back then
I can't believe I've only just discovered this. Matt Smith in a RTD script 👍 is this just a one off or does he appear in more episodes?
Wasn't Jo the companion in "the three doctors"?
Jo WAS 3rds companion at the time of the three doctors, yes, she has the privilege of being the only companion, besides the brigadeir and sargent benton, to meet the three original doctors
It's a one off sadly it's a really good episode of the Sarah Jane adventures spin off
They both aged like fine wine!
God remember when even the DW spinoffs were this good?? That and the fact that we no longer have Elisabeth fills me with rage.
This is doctor who. Tear wrenching at Jo's faith and hope and heart warming as you learn the doctor, while holding off regeneration, searched for his friends and look into their futures too.
Not mentioning anything post capaldi but if I'd start watching if there was more of this in the show.
No matter which face or gender, its the Doctor to me
For me, only a male Doctor is The Doctor.
@@biteme4322 agreed
yeahhh that's just not true though is it.
if the doctor had been a woman from day one and chibby came along and made her a bloke i'd be up in arms.
that's not even mentioning how he cannot write and ruined a rich lore that had been growing since the 60s.
Nu-who is NOT Who.
That was such a lovely scene
