This story caused a real controversy when it was first shown. Very scary, when I watched it as a teenager.😵😱
I think the cliffhanger to episode 3 of Deadly Assassin was scary in billions of ways
He looks so good with white shirt oh my god
Modern Who is tame compared with this era, just look at the Master with his skin all burned and dropping off, that eyeball too. You just wouldn't see things of that nature now which shows just how much it's changed.
Indeed. Jodie’s Doctor would never be given a fight scene like this. Her triumphant battle in the Matrix was much more in style.
Well the reason it’s more tame is bc many people complained about this era. Mainly parents who let their children watch it
@@ncg7987 The show was still pretty fresh compared to now. Changing something about the lore now is just awful service to the originals.
@@bookcollector538 Literally that makes no sense. What the hell matters then?
@@ncg7987 Thing is Deadly Assassin added to the lore of the show rather than retconning it like Timeless Children.
OH MY GOD!
The Assassin is Lemuel Gulliver / The Head Time Lord / the Thal, Taron / Chancellor Goth / Campbell, James Bond’s contact from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service!!! 😱😱😱
Dun dun duuuun
@DistortedDan The very same
He’s my grandfather, R.I.P Bernard Horsfall❤️
R.I.P. Bernard Horsfall :(
It is canon in my mind that Goth is the Timelord who forced the Second Doctor's regeneration they are the same actor both as timelords.
Also that guard is played by the same man that plays Ibrahim in Pyramids of Mars
Also the ending shot is blurry because the master tape of that final shot was cut due to the drowning by Mary Whitehouse
I've forgotten his name, but the Time Lord with the accent here, plays the scientist in the Mutants.
@@blobfish5730 It's the Mutants so not to excited about that lol.
@@dubliam8064 It's not too bad really.
You're right about Goth.
And he also played another character in “The Mind Robber”
I love the old tone music. Like when the time lords shoot the man at the beginning to save the doctor.
Ah yes that brief period when the 4th Doctor was Companion-less and good old Tom wanted a head of Cabbage for a companion instead. Good times.
Honestly, when I think of this scene, I think of Mary Whitehouse when she complained about how this cliffhanger shows the Doctor drowning in water. And kids were left with that image for a whole week before finally seeing how he gets out of it.
"[The Deadly Assassin] programme contains some of the sickest and most horrific material ever seen on children’s television, but no-one has to take my word that such material is likely to disturb. For young children, even a week may be too long to wait for reassurance that the characters with whom they identify are safe. Doctor Who has turned into tea-time brutality for tots. My personal reaction to the sight of the Doctor being viciously throttled underwater is unimportant. What’s important is the effect of such material - especially in a modern setting - upon the very young children still likely to be watching. Strangulation - by hand, by claw, by obscene vegetable matter - is the latest gimmick, sufficiently close-up so that they get the point. And, just for a little variety, show the children how to make a Molotov cocktail."
Mary Whitehouse, President of the National Viewers and Listeners Association, 1976
Watched it as a child. Didn't give me nightmares. She really was an appalling old bag. Monty Python only knew they were on the right track with their comedy when they started getting complaints from the National Viewers and Listeners Association.
@@JSkinnerish Blimey. Imagine if TV studios actually obeyed the National Viewers and Listeners Association. We would have lost so many masterpieces.
The obscene vegetable matter was precisely the stuff I tuned in for when I was six..

This matrix story is easily better than the recent one.
Matrix what is that?
Henrik Andersson it’s a computer network made up of the brain prints of deceased timelords. It records events across the timelines
@@ncg7987 I think not.
Yeah that's always the way with matrix sequels. Lol
The first matrix story was great.
I was hoping we’d get a bit of master doctor conflict in the matrix again in timeless children because this is easily one of my favourite individual episodes in classic who! Brilliantly shot for the 70s
The cliffhanger of episode of deadly assassin was bloody scary I when the story was first shown on tv was only 7 and I always remembered the episode 3 cliffhanger as scary
For some reason I enjoy watching The Doctor put on a physical fight.
For me, I don’t see Chancellor Goth as the same Time Lord from The War Games
The War Games Time Lord was very calm, fair, godlike and peaceful and Goth is the exact opposite
“Let them go. We won’t endanger human life”
We could just be seeing a different side to him. Afterall here he’s wanting to become president and clearly wants that title by any means, heck some of it may have been influenced by the Master
In my Fanon, Goth is far more worse than his characterization in The Deadly Assassin.
Yeah, maybe Timelords copy each other's faces? After all 12 copied someone else's face as did Romana.
Ah, the scene that was not so family-friendly.
What a cliffhanger.
The original Matrix BEFORE the Matrix movies
Imagine if this episode was done today same doctor same everything. It would look so good.
Well Tom would have way more obvious stunt doubles considering his age so probably not
@@EditedAF987 i was meaning if that tom was the same age and everything
@@squidwardtortellini2827 Classic Who produced with modern day technology and production values? That would be a thrilling site to behold!
This is why Mary Whitehouse gave this story criticism
How do those time lord guns work? Do they stop regeneration or are they on a stun setting or something? Plenty of time lord guards get shot in classic who and don’t regenerate, so what’s going on?
Stun gun but the guards can ramp the settings to kill a time lord
2:20 Maybe a “Brno 21 H”? My model is from 1949 cal. 7 mm Mauser.
I miss when Doctor Who was actually violent and scary, ironically feels like more of a kiddies show now despite the fact that more kids probably watched it back then...
Didn't this episode cause a big flap at the time? The doctor getting shot, his head being held underwater. Some people complained it was too violent for a "children's show".
Even this old stuff is far better than todsu.
I wonder how things would be if the time lords all came back:
I think that’s part of the issue...
They’re a great addition and plot device but many writers also see then as a limiting one. One showrunner out of three saw fit to barely bring them back.
The 2005 season finale, the Doomsday plotline in the season 2 finale, season 3 finale, season 4 reality-bomb finale, season 5 finale, wouldn’t really have been possible if the TimeLords were present.
In a way they’re victims of their own “success”.
Far too handy not to be brought back of course, but sparingly.
Mary Whitehouse didn't like that ending much Lol
Good for her. I don't like love island, but it still comes on
One of my favorites . Available on iTunes :)
4:20? Damn
Sold out!
This was the 1st ever ending that I saw when I was just 1. Mind you I wasn't speaking english (Only started speaking when I was around 3.)at the time it seared into my mind.
Whatever happened to Venusian karate?
The 12th and 13th doctor have used it.
That was mainly the 3rd Doctor's thing.
You do mean "Venusian *Aikido* ??"
@@jameswallace9503 There has not such thing as a Thirteenth Doctor.
Who is the killer?
*Chris Chibnall*
More like Micheal Grade lol
False, Micheal Grade
@@hothemeep1219 Didn't I just say that? 🤔
@@theunknowneditor63 Two great minds !
@@hothemeep1219 😂
Why did the Castilian just shoot the head of security was here double agent?
They just don’t make Doctor who like this anymore they make series it like series 11
Who is the assassin very interesting
It's strange. Mary Whitehouse's argument was that children might copy the violence they saw on TV. Back then, in 76/77, the Doctor's companion was Leela, a violent, scantily-clad savage who walked around carrying a bloody great knife and was quite happy to stab people to death with it. Don't seem to remember a knife - crime epidemic amongst youngsters back in 1977. Paradoxically, in 2020, the Doctor has Yazz, a Police officer, as her companion and out there on the streets, kids are killing each other on a daily basis. Bang goes Whitehouse's argument.
I know what I'm going to say has nothing to do with this video but I heard that there's going to be a new doctor who video game coming out early 2021 on ps4, xbox one, Nintendo switch, pc, ps5 and the new xbox and it's being made by maze theory the company that made doctor who the edge of time the playstation vr game that came out in 2019 from what I heard this new doctor who game can be played without vr (virtual reality) so that means the new doctor who game will be a fully fledged game but for some reason nothing has been revealed about the game yet no trailer no screenshot no info no nothing and if it is coming out early next year they have to show something soon because we have only got about 5 or 6 months left of this year but I don't know if maze theory or the bbc is there but there's a huge show which has already begun and it's ending in a few days time and that show is comic con so hopefully in the next few days the new doctor who game will be revealed
Where is your evidence puny human
@@whiteknight5137 if you type in doctor who 2021 game there's videos of it on CZcams
Really early how many likes can I get on this comment
