Such a lovely response! I’ve wanted to see a proper sendoff for ol’ Sixie for such a long time, and I’m so happy that it’s finally out there. Thank you all so much! 😀💕🙏
I don’t know what to say. Wow. Omg. etcetera etcetera!
This is so polished, so perfect.
This is now head-canon
@@stevetayler9518 This isn't even headcanon. It's CANON, PERIOD.
Amazing that you got Colin Baker to play his role again! For some reason I thought that would be hard for somebody to do, on a whim. Great job. I could easily splice that clip into the end of that series and be very happy.
@@SuperOrangeMan23 You are joking, right?
Hey Will you make 13th doctor regenerates please
It's weirdly touching that the first thing the Seventh Doctor does when he's coming into existence is to reassure the Sixth.
memory loss, usual regeneration sickness
As opposed to in the VNAs when it was literally the 7th Doctor who was in 6's head telling him to fly into the beam.
To be fair, Colin did need some reassurance.
@@jellybabiesarecool4657that’s not… demanding or anything?
@@jellybabiesarecool4657Jesus christ doctor I know you're suicidal occasionally but this is thinking you too far
What did he notice he was becoming too dark and attentionally walking to those bullets
This is the regeneration scene Colin Baker deserved. Have met him quite a few times on the convention circuit and he has always been warm, courteous, funny and generous with his time.
Doctor Who owes him a great deal of gratitude.
Seconded. Colin is hilarious in person, full of warmth and wit
Ohhhhhhh...😕 I thought this was the real Regeneration scene
Yeah, great actor and great man. Any shortcomings of his incarnation really just came down to the production at the time.
I had the honour of meeting Colin Baker at a convention a few years ago. We exchanged a few words and I had my picture taken with him while wearing my Fourth Doctor knitted scarf. His Doctor could've been do much better if it hadn't been for the writers' strike and the cuts in production values of the time.
At conventions the fun banter between Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy is priceless (there really needs to be a comedy series with them together).
Plus Colin was the first Doctor I met and got an autograph from - when he first started.
This is canon to me now and I don’t give a damn what anyone says
this is a recreation of a Big Finish story so... this IS canon ^^
It already was
The Last Adventures series: Big Finish
It's kind of objectively canon, because the audio's canon, and the visuals are exactly how they would look.
#MakeThisCanon
Michael Jayston has passed away... Rest in Peace Valeyard.
I love the idea of 6 seeing a tiny vision of 7 telling him it’s far from being all over. Nice use of modern effects for the Regeneration to hide the Wig on Sylvester. Adds more grace to the regeneration!
Agreed. It’s almost as though The Watcher from Logopolis made another appearance 🙂
Reference to the 1st Doctor also saying “it's far from being all over”
Ghost doctor.
Also via editing they made a proper face morph instead of just hiding the wig
The best version of this scene I've seen. Deepfake, masking, VFX, stunning. You'd half believe Colin filmed this in 1987!
@@tom2point0 Colin was fired after his second season, The regeneration to McCoy was performed by McCoy in a blonde wig at the beginning of his first episode!
Tom 2.0 (tom2point0) Performer there might as well have not been. Colin wasn’t even there for it as the other commenter said because of how he was mistreated. When they asked him to come and do his regeneration he told the BBC to shove it and rightly so
Did he use deepfake in the video ?
not sure but the audio is from The Last Adventure by the big finish.
I don't there's any deepfakes used here.
This is one of the best Doctor Who edits period.
I know right??
The Doctors not having a period XD LOL 😅😂😅😅🤣😅😅🤣😅😂😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😂🤣😂🥲😂🤣
I wish they would do this to the original series, story by story.
That said, I don't think BBC could do this good of a job.
@@MeltedToast84 that's not what he meant... But ok
@@MeltedToast84 - Ha ha, exactly!
Yeah, I'm always tickled when I see people write period instead of full stop. It immediately makes me think of menstruation, he he he!
;-)
Stunning. I really mean that. This is for 6 what “Night of the Doctor” was for 8. Beautiful!
the BBC should allow this to be added to the beginning of the blu-ray edition of Time and the Rani. Its excellent! Colin should see this. It gives his Doctor a real send off. Brilliant work.
Why?
@@cathalmcwilliams7189 why what’s
I love the idea of layering the two voices. Imagine if they had the balls to do that for an incoming Doctor in the future.
I think the problem with that idea being a general practice is it borders on viewing each incarnation of the Doctor as "seperate" characters, rather than one overarching evolving character. The whole theme of the show is change, and the growth and evolution that comes with it. To risk framing them as seperate characters, rather than the same character changing, also risks framing that change as a bad thing; in that the past version of someone "dies," thus grieving change rather than celebrating it.
My only real issue with Big Finish in general is that they really take the hard stance that each incarnation of the Doctor is a seperate character rather than one evolving character, and therefore very frequently asserts that in their audio stories. This leads to things I think I personally dislike, such as very regular and frequent multi-Doctor stories (which I think should be saved for really significant occasions in the story, rather than taking the piss out of it by having it happen all the bloody time), or another incarnation of the Doctor casually popping up in another Doctor's story out of nowhere for an extended cameo every other week. Moreover, I think it helps assert this idea that change is tragic or bad, rather than just another part of the Doctor's continuing and evolving life.
_(that said, all of Paul McGann's audios slap and should be listened to)_
@@MrMarsFargo I wholeheartedly agree. It’s sort of the case with Russel framing the 10th doctor’s regeneration as a sort of death like actual death rather than change?
@@MrMarsFargoI don't see it that way. I prefer to think of the Doctor's multiple incarnations as alternate personalities inhabiting a shared body, with only one able to be in charge at a time. They're all the same man in the end, but different facets of him, with each successive personality building on his predecessors.
Tbf we meet the 12th doctor while 11 was still the main doctor so kinda has happened but yeah would be interesting to see them do that
you were saying? :D
I just listened to The Sixth Doctor’s Last Adventure before moving on to in my front-to-back Doctor Who rewatch. This video was THE PERFECT cap to Six’s era and I cannot imagine cannon without it. Seriously, thank you so much for putting the work into this. It’s such a gift to the fans.
This is why anyone who disses the Big Finish stories can piss right off. They're giving us the things we always wanted. And this absolutely gorgeous edit is a visual dream, a peek into what should have been. Thanks for this, from every true Whovian.
Seriously, the best way I’ve ever been able to describe big finish and how amazing they are is simply that big finish fix everything. I don’t know of any major issue of doctor who that they haven’t been able to work their magic on, they let 6 actually carry out his character arc properly, they let 7 fight things other than candy monsters and robot clowns, and let 8 actually have not only a series full stop but the series that he deserves. Past that they’ve apparently filled in the gaps between missy and the new master, given 6 a proper regeneration and given pretty much every character you could look at and say ‘It’s a crime they didn’t get their own show’ and given them their own show.
Has anyone "dissed" them?
@@VadersFist95 Some people turn their noses up at the idea of audio stories
to be fair I'd personally take the seven getting shot, six hitting his head regenerations over the over blown self congratulation ones any day...
And know Big Finish has done the impossible, bring back Christopher Eccelston as the 9th Doctor.
This is now the definitive scene for 6’s regen. No questions about it. And I know people have made their own scenes based on the events of “Brink of Death” but this is the correct visualization in my opinion.
I loved that Big Finish cared so much for Time and The Rani by adding The Last Adventure in for Colin Baker he got the regeneration he'd truly deserved
Superbly done, this would be worthy on inclusion on The Collection boxsets
yup... could be seemlessly worked into Time and the Rani episode 1 as an option. Soeone make it happen
Has someone tweeted this out to Colin yet? I'm sure he'd love this!
About to go do it now!
I've met and got a photo with Colin baker 🤗
Matthew Duncan well...has he seen it?!? if he did, what did he think!!!
Yeah, he deserved a proper regeneration. (Even tho he left earlier so he couldn’t exactly.)
@@definitely_notme4112 Well, he didn't leave by his own will. He got badly kicked.
This warmed my heart to no extent. He finally got given a proper send off. Big Finish really made this character the hero the TV production failed to get right.
This feels so fulfilling. Like exactly what I needed to see to feel the Sixth Doctor's run had a proper ending!
This needs to be edited into Time and the Rani on blu ray
therre's an easter egg on the Time and the Rani dvd with an updated regeneration (not as good as this though)
This is brilliant! The regeneration Colin Baker deserved to have. I’m grateful that Big Finish asked him to do this and he accepted. They did both him and the 6th Doctor justice. And your edit of the scene is perfect!
They could very easily add this at the beginning of time and the rani and re release it, its amazing
Or at the very end of the ultimate foe (or both)
I really can’t see a problem with them starting from 1:18 and putting it on dvd , i guess some people might not like it has a 9/10th screen and the new regeneration effect, could change it to blue/green glow, but other then that its brilliant and is an amazing why to show how the 6th doctor died
I will watch this now before Time and the Rani. Good job.
*What more can I say? Colin Baker's regeneration is finally FIXED!! Looks like we ALL love it, too! And I bet Colin Baker would feel so relieved after seeing this! Thank you so much. You rock!! 😆*
"Peri, Evelyn, Flip, Constance, Mila and all the rest"
I liked "stage Fright" from this series with Jago and Litefoot and Flip as the companion, great story
@@mrjekyllandhyde9941 Stage Fright was definitely my favourite, i love J&L, and the concept, creating twisted versions of the Doctors regeneration scenes
Don’t forget Frobisher
@@johnwhittington2998 Was directly quoting the story
This is the best regeneration for Colins doctor I’ve seen so far well done
Fair well rainbow man
Thank you for giving dignity to the 6th doctor's regeneration. Perfect!
Some really cool choices made here - I love the flash of light in the shape of Sylvester, plus fading out the Rani's dialogue as Colin's internal monologue kicks back in. Great work.
I love that this regeneration feels a lot more in tune with the sixth doctor's character. He's still the doctor, but he'll be damned if the Valeyard gets away with this. It's his body and his regenerations to do with as HE pleases, thank you very much!
And given that the Valeyard was apparently created from the Tennant->Smith regeneration, it would naturally require a regeneration for the Doctor to defeat him.
You know, I've had a theory for a while that the way a time lord regenerates depends on how they die. I think radiation poisoning causes the regeneration to be sort of "scrambled". Like in the episode where the 6th doctor regenerates, it's like his face has negative exposure and has green and gray bleeding out, almost like his body is forcing the radiation out of his body, and at the time in classic who that sort of effect during regeneration wasn't common. I also think this is why the 10th doctor's regeneration is so violent, he received an enormously higher dose of radiation, one that would even damage the DNA of a time lord. So as a reaction, his body practically exploding, forcing regeneration out of his body along with the raw radiation. I think this is why the TARDIS is badly damaged; it can't handle that much radiation so it crash landed to fix the damage. Feel free to correct any errors I made, I'm always open to new information :)
Nope. You’re spot on.
Everything you said was right, the only thing that would be inconsistent with your theory would be why the Master has numerous colors and exploding out of him when he was regenerating after being shot?
My theory is that different Timelords have different colored regenerations based off their personality, but I don’t know. Tell me what you think
@@alirezaomrani7650I always thought they had different types of regeneration depending on the damage suffered.
Such as Old Age causing light, short regenerations (as the case with 1st, war, and 11th) which dont do any damage to the Tardis, and it only crashed on 12th after his regeneration because he didn’t even know how to really fly it. Maybe no energy would be spent with other types of slow deaths such as 3rd when he took in enough radiation to slowly kill his cells, but not enough to end him where he stood if he was human, 4th when he shattered all the bones in his body, and possibly suffered internal damage when he fell from a satellite dish, 5th when he died from poison that was slowly killing him from the inside, 7th when he was shot, put on knockout gas, and had to regenerate later than usual, and 9th when he regenerated from absorbing the time vortex, which acted like radiation damage. (the tardis only crashed that time because yet again, post regenerated time lords shouldn’t be trusted behind the wheel.)
Whereas other regenerations which are more explosive need more energy to repair them, like taking in more radiation than possible with the 6th, 10th, and possibly 12th, getting forced to regenerate as is the case with 8th and 13th,
10s Regeneration could also have been so violent because of how long he held it back.
@@fivestarguy100
Or because that was when the -Stackyard- Valeyard was created?
same for 12 @@fivestarguy100
I hope whoever has these skills can give us an edit of the ENTIRE series from start to finish, with every missing episode included as well via this type of detailed work, in order, along with the new regen scenes. That'd be the dream.
This is so impressive to watch. You should be so proud. The editing is so seemless. Thank you for doing this x
*seamless
Its amazing the way it all syncs up with the footage you've used. It genuinely looks like something they filmed at times- the only giveaway is Colin's voice sounding older
Colin sounding older is no problem at all because we don't know how long after Trial of a Time Lord that this took place. Technically, the Doctor hadn't had his first meeting with Mel so if we assume that the Mel in TOATL left him at some point and then her younger self encountered him for the first time later, he could have been around for years, maybe even centuries considering how long the Doctor can live in a single incarnation.
Lets all appreciate on how he made this so incredible to see a recreation of the 6th doctor regeneration.
I also like how you edited some scenes already there especially with the tardis landing
"What about your precious moral scruples?
They die with me!"
Well that's prescient considering how much of a bastard McCoy's Doctor could be.
it set the precedent for every Doctor after him. He essentially became the valeyard from 7-12. 13 was essentially a reboot.
@Lou Gagliardi I like that theory... not because I agree with it but because it pisses off Jodie haters.
nWho Doctors are far too morally upstanding to do dark properly. Someone... somewhere (probably RTD) mistook the Doctor for Batman and made no guns and not killing an actual rule when the Doctor isn't supposed to have rules she's a freaking petty criminal turned adventurer from a planet of literal ivory tower scientists.
The McCoy Doctor on the other hand, would happily sell his companion to an Androgum if it fitted his plans. He may not have the highest bodycount of the Doctors (that's Tom "Casual Genocide" Baker) but he's probably the most flexible in morality.
The BBC should hire you to work on the 60th anniversary special so that we can get a scene with the classic doctors meeting the new series Doctors
This weirdly made me feel emotional .....this is what Colin Baker should have got with his departure from doctor who .....absolutely well done ..fantastic
This really packs an emotional wallop, doesn't it?! Just look at the amount of positivity this has prompted. That's rare on here to say the least. This is definitive and canon! Outstanding work! 👏👏
Ahhh ammmmaaazing
Ayyy I like ur vids sir ;)
Hay Quinton! Nice to see you around
This is by far one of the best regeneration edits I’ve seen.
Having just listened to this box set, it’s amazing seeing you bring it to life and fully connect it with the regeneration we got on screen. Thank you so much!
“Well, you wanted a regeneration, didn’t you?” - Sylvester McCoy, 1990 (czcams.com/video/WFahehmZFVs/video.html )
Great job!
That link doesn't take me anywhere?
JayDeeJay EssHaitch Fixed. It should work now.
I am the Doctor I have always been the Doctor there is no other Lol
How have I never seen this before!
This is really well done! The composting in this is great, from subtle stuff of matching costumes and replacing sets for the TARDIS. All very seamless and well done. Great work! :D
Compositing
@@tomnewton4320 Sorry, forgot the I. Should have gone back to spell check 🙄
Yes the weeding and the vegetable garden are great too.
Dude, this is amazing! I love the Last Adventure and how it finally gave Sixie a proper send-off in The Brink of Death; that final monologue gets me every time. I've seen other attempts to sync the audio to footage, and they were great, so no disrespect to them, but what you've done here...this is perfection! I got serious chills when the ghostly image of Seven appeared, that was such a nice extra touch. Everything was perfect, the way you paced it out, the way you paired the audio with the visuals... I am going to have to share this around, because to me, this is exactly what it looked like in Six's final moments. Bravo, seriously, bravo!
I hope one day they animate this audio novel. Colin Baker really put his best in it. Wasn't the worst doctor, he was just the most unique.
Not merely a technically-excellent visual upgrade, but a reverential and thoughtful work of artistry, with great attention paid to audio.
Hands down brilliant. Simply brilliant. I’m now considering this canon with the show.
me too
It always amazes me how a fan with editing software and skill alone can make such an amazing sequence but a big budget team always drop the ball and just have him standing around in the tardis talking every time
Imagine the entire classic series remade with this kind of editing...im paying everyone on the team
Imagine all the big finish stories remade with this kind of editing....Im paying with you
It would be a case of "shut up and have my money"
The re-generation 'denied' to the Sixth Doctor given life through an amazing re-edit - LOVE IT!! :)
That was amazing! Truly beautiful. Thank you so much! I really needed that; a noble end to my favourite classic Doctor.
I will now always watch this video after Trial of a Timelord and before Time & The Rani. Your video is locked into my canon.
Thank you 🙏🏽
This is the kind of thing that should be added to the offical episode it is done that well.
This is fabulous work! Really stellar!! Been awhile since I listened to that particular audio, still trying to keep up with BF's current output.
Every Doctor deserves a right proper regeneration scene, not just a send off it’s a thank you all rolled into one. I’m glad Six finally got one.
Brilliant. I’ve waited 35 years for that! Good work.
Some great compositing work there.
Brilliantly done! The regeneration that Colin Baker always deserved but never got. Thank you so much!
I absolutely love this, it got me a little misty eyed. Best Dr. Who edit ever!
All these timely opportunities for fan edits of Doctor Who are quite amazing. Thanks for this one.
Here before the BBC copywrite strike and ruins it for everyone.
Must say I love your channel and the effort you put in to your content especially the individual Doctor Reviews. I've watched them so many times and are better than the official BBC ones.
This should be edited onto the end of trial of the time lord like it’s amazing and definitely canon
Wow, this is fantastic! It’s like you’ve kidnapped Colin Baker from the past and shot this over green screen!
The Sixth Doctor is my favorite Doctor thanks to BF. This made me feel really emotional, such a beautiful visualization of a beautiful scene.
As someone whos not watched much classic who, if I just came across this in the episode I couldnt tell you it was fanmade
This is absolutely brilliant! Now if only they could stick this on the season twenty-four blu-ray, and also accidentally animated the whole of Brink of Death, I'd be even happier!
Absolutely fantastic, you made this DW fan extremely happy.
Outstanding work, brilliant just brilliant.
Stick this on as the pre credit sequence for Time & The Rani because far as I'm concerned it's canon.
A video I rewatch frequently.
1:46 Mel's giant 80s shoulder pads broke her fall 🤣🤣🤣
The BBC should use this video and incorporate it into future dvd or rebroadcast of the Sixth's Doctor's finale. I hope Colin Baker has seen this marvelously done
This is a work of art. I can't even begin to work out how you have put this together. It is seamless. I've seen other edits of various regenerations over the years, but nothing like this. Truly amazing.
I'm with what everyone else is saying. In my head, this is canon now.
Someone should show this to Colin Baker, he’d love it!
You did what the show never could giving the sixth doctor a good regeneration for that I tip my hat to you
This is amazing Jake, you continue to outdo yourself. I'm lost for words. All I can say is well done! You've done justice to this wonderful Doctor and scene.
This is the best fricking editing ever! Put that on the DVD!
Wow...this is incredibly well done!!! If the Blu-ray boxset of the Seventh Doctor's 1st season is released, this must be on it!
Lovely work with the visuals, attached with the lovely audio from Big Finish. Thank you for all the hard work!
Wow, this is so damn good. I also love the new visuals for the TARDIS crash, it all looks so authentic. I pray the people in charge see sense, and retroactivly make this the official regen.
This was wonderful, of all the attempts to mix clips of the Colin Baker era with samples from the BF story this is the best one. Makes me wish the entire thing was adapted but this will do.
My dream is a whole new series of big finish adapted like that
It is not the Colin Baker we diserve. This is the colin Baker we need. Thank you.
He wasn’t Patrick McGoohan but there’s no one I’d rather have had for Doctor number 6.
As everyone else has said - simply superb! Broadcast quality for sure. Certainly better than the actual televised regeneration (the least said about that the better)! No idea how you managed the lip-syncing but reckon it must have taken a gazillion hours of hard work to put this short clip together - well done!
A job well done, and another loophole I'd forgotten about that Chibnall should possibly address, the Valyard being trapped within the matrix and as much as I love the Master we should see more of other renegade Timelords like the Rani and Meddling Monk.
The Monk almost returned for Twelfth Doctor story...
There's such a large plethora of other characters that could be drawn upon from the entire series but it always seems to be Daleks or Cybermen, they should be rested for a bit and use other enemies. Don't get me wrong I like those enemies but with such a diverse range to pick from why not change it up a bit.
It would also give a way to introduce old and known baddies to a new audience who perhaps didn't know about them. This is why the show needs writers who truly understand it and it's history. (Granted just my opinion)
I'm pretty sure the Valeyard dies in "The last adventure"
mrjekyll andhyde well he managed to come back in the eighth Doctor time war series so I don’t know
Now that's more like it! I loved this entire audio story arch, fantastic to see it in motion too.
He had his ups and downs but really he is a great actor
Wow, that is pretty wonderfully done, congrats! I hop Colin gets a chance to stumble upon it!
This is the real deal this is what really happened in sixth doctor's final run
well technically it happened in 2015 on Big Finish but canonically yeah it happened in the sixth's doctor's final run , a brilliant exit that Colin Baker's doctor always deserved
Oh daym. This is bloody amazing
FANTASTIC!!! Thank you...this was a real treat! Nice work.
The 80's logo would be much more preferable in the thumbnail.
Well done video.
The best version of this a second there I believed this was made in the 80’s
there was more heart in that then the last three regenerations
Nah.
This is absolutely stunning, fantastic and very well executed! Great work!
I can't stop watching this! Such an excellent edit! If they ever do a season 24 blu ray box set, they need to include this. I can't waut to see your work on The Timeless Doctors movie!
Extremely well done and very fitting for Colin.
This is so well done! Just brilliant! Thank you for making this. At last, the Sixth Doctor regenerates.
Thank you, thank you so much for doing this video, Sixth Doctor has always been my favourite doctor, and I cried when listening to 'The Brink of Death'. It's really amazing to see Sixth Doctor finally gets his own regeneration on screen, this is definitely canon to me
This was one of the most amazing fan edits ever made! My favorite Doctor finally has a legitimate regeneration thanks to your wizardry. I love the continuity and the new special effects. Mel and the Doctor really do look like they are in the TARDIS together, and I enjoyed the Big Finish ending being incorporated with the visuals. This should be an extra for the Blu-ray set for series 24.
Feels like a modern remake of the 6th doctor in a way.
Nice to know the most recent season wasnt the first time the Doctor utilizes the Matrix in this fashion
I love this! The Regeneration Six deserved.
One of the best doctors i've ever seen. Colin Baker was a really good doctor for me :D
