    Who Declined The Bbc’s Invitation To Star In The Regeneration Sequence?

    • dev patel 0.jpg
    • colin baker 0.jpg

    Hint .

    The second doctor was never seen to actually change into the third doctor. colin baker declined the invitation to play both incarnations of the doctor. the regeneration of the sixth doctor into the seventh is the only time a single actor took on the roles of two incarnations.

    Hint .

    shortly after the regeneration process, the doctor sometimes goes through a period of physical and psychological instability. the second doctor experiences crippling pain after his first regeneration. the third doctor collapses outside the tardis after spearhead from space. the fourth doctor says a new body “takes time to settle in”

    Hint .

    second doctor’s last claim of a connection between the tardis and regeneration has never been explored in detail. it is heavily suggested by later regeneration stories. the connection between man and vehicle is made explicitly clear in the parting of the ways.  the third and fourth doctor’s highest priority is to return to the tardis.

    Hint .

    various spinoff media allege the second doctor did not regenerate at this time. this has never been confirmed in the tv series. bbc portal time lord physical characteristics are similar to those of the time lord in the novel world game. some episodes of the 2011 series used a vfx that suggested regeneration.

    Hint .

    the first doctor chose to regenerate after seeing the man he would become. the second doctor had regeneration forced upon him as part of his punishment for breaking the laws of time. he hesitated to regenerate because he was afraid of the change. the doctor’s appearance was chosen for him.

    Hint .

    like the tenth doctor, the twelfth doctor’s regeneration was highly explosive. the time lord must choose to either regenerate or die. in the first doctor’s case, the regeneration was not explosive at all. he called it a ‘state of grace’  .

    Hint .

    time lords can retain a quirk or choice throughout their lives. the doctor’s promise and the corsair’s tattoo are examples of this. some time lords are susceptible to post-regenerative side-effects. the second doctor had some confusion over his own identity.

    Hint .

    thirteenth doctor learned she was originally the timeless child. a being from another universe or dimension with the ability to regenerate an indefinite number of times. the doctor’s memories of their lives before the first doctor were redacted. the eleventh doctor had to receive a second regeneration cycle.

    Correct Wrong

    The second doctor was never seen to actually change into the third, simply fading off into darkness at the end of the war games and then stumbling out of the tardis, already regenerated, at the start of spearhead from space (1970). the regeneration of the sixth doctor into the seventh is the only time that a single actor took on the roles of two incarnations of the doctor. colin baker declined the invitation to film the regeneration sequence at the start of time and the rani (1987) due to the circumstances in which the bbc dismissed him from the role.

    Which Doctor Who Character Remains On Top Form?

    • peter davison 0.jpg
    • jon pertwee 0.jpg

    Hint .

    Jon pertwee remains on top form along with an excellent guest cast. liz shaw was the better companion for the doctor with a strong intellect and bravery. replacement character jo grant is very endearing but liz’s character is sad to be replaced. a great stunt involving an auton.

    Correct Wrong

    In particular there is a great, spectacular stunt when an auton is knocked down and falls dramatically, careering down a huge slope, apparently to its death, only to just get straight back up.jon pertwee remains on top form along with an excellent guest cast and all the regulars do well although it is sad that the character of the doctor's 'assistant' liz shaw is replaced. her replacement character jo grant goes on to be a very endearing character but liz shaw was the better companion for the doctor in my opinion with a strong intellect as well as bravery. the addition of captain mike yates is great but perhaps they transferred the strength and intelligence of liz shaw onto yates and passed the glamour and warmth of liz onto jo grant.

    Who Was The Character’s Third Doctor?

    • jon pertwee 0.jpg
    • paul mcgann 0.jpg

    Hint .

    Jon pertwee’s third doctor and tom baker’s fourth doctor was the incarnation with whom i was most familiar. both played the character as an eccentric english gentleman. but baker stresses the eccentricity of the character. the character’s social status may have been a factor in his promotion.

    Correct Wrong

    It is quite possible that on their planet (as in some earthly societies) promotions are made on the basis of social status rather than age, experience or ability. together with jon pertwee's third doctor, tom baker's fourth doctor was the incarnation with whom i was most familiar during my childhood. both played the character as an eccentric english gentleman, but pertwee (perhaps taking his cue from peter cushing's "unofficial" doctor of the two spin-off feature films from the mid-sixties) stresses his gentlemanliness, whereas baker places greater stress on his eccentricity, possibly influenced by patrick troughton's second doctor.

    Who Plays The Second Doctor?

    • tommy lee jones 0.jpg
    • patrick troughton 0.jpg

    Hint .

    Patrick troughton steals every scene as the second doctor. jacquliene pearce plays an absolute clone of her character servelan from blakes 7. the guest stars are campy and cheesy. the show is back for the 20th anniversary special.

    Hint .

    the doctor isn’t james bond he’s an entirely separate character. patrick troughton doesn’t play the second doctor in the same manner as hartnell. the second episode of classic doctor who was a cliffhanger for the fans. the new doctor is a warmer personality with a childlike sense of humour.

    Correct Wrong

    On another point couldn't the second doctor have worn a dark wig since his grey hairs are distracting that said the highlight is seeing patrick troughton back in the role of the second doctor and like his appearances in the 10th and 20th anniversary specials he steals every scene . . his co-star frazer hines as jamie every bit as likable as he was back in the 1960s and it's nice to see him team up with the sixth doctor and peri . as for the other guest stars jacquliene pearce might have been a casting coup but she plays an absolute clone of her character servelan from blakes 7 . james saxon as oscar is completely camp while laurence payne acts as if he's bored which is hardly surprising since dastari is one of the most clichéd mad scientist types the show has ever seen .
