How Long Are the Special Episodes? The Five Doctors The asterisked Doctors have had some equivalency conversion done on this basis. This list assumes that 'one episode' is roughly equivalent to the 24 minute format - and bearing in mind that when a standard episode has its opening titles, end credits and recap removed, they can run nearly as short as 20 minutes.

'The Longest' in Terms of Actual Duration of TV 1 Those Doctors which contributed the least to the show were technically the official Doctor for the longest. In strict terms of duration, from the moment they began until the moment they were replaced, this is the most ironic list. 'The Longest' - First Appearance to Replacement 1 The long periods of the cancellation of the show is once again excluded, however Paul McGann's tenure starts with his official casting. Once again Colin Baker complicates matters with the hiatus, but this is offset against the long gap between him leaving the show and his 'fake' regeneration. This list factors-in when an actor was first signed up for the role, and ends when they last appeared on screen - therefore more accurate to the realities of their service to the programme. 'The Longest' from First Contract to Last Episode 1
One thing of course which does skew the list slightly is the fact that the 6th Doctor went on hiatus, and then was not regenerated using Colin Baker himself. However, it excludes the long periods between 19 when the show was effectively cancelled since this wouldn't be a true reflection of an actor playing an 'ongoing' character. It shows the length of time each actor was in the role from the moment he first appeared on screen, to the broadcast of the episode in which he was replaced - therefore the length of time they were 'officially' the Doctor in the minds of the public. This list is probably the most technically correct answer. 'The Longest' on TV whilst in Production 1 But there are various different ways that this question can be defined so, for a lark, I thought I'd answer the question in a variety of different ways. So, this page sets about the question of who was Doctor Who 'the longest'? Well, the sensible answer is of course Tom Baker. He, along with the Doctor Who Christmas Specials, has been missed.Lots of Lovely Lists because you love lists. Steven Moffat is a damn good writer and on his bestĭays I don't think there's anyone else in the country who can match him.
Moffrey Baratheon (I'm aware that one didn't quite work but let's go with it, we're near the end now) tied up a lot of his loose plot threads and delivered a script which had me blubbing like a baby twice (yeah, I'm man enough to own that) Matt Smith's final monologue as he undoes the bow-tie, and his goodbye to Handles.

Packed full of so many memorable moments from nudity, the wig, wooden cybermen, that amazing regeneration and Peter Capaldi. I sat there in awe for the whole 60 minutes Christmas evening 2013, and then went online to discover the world and his wife declaring it the " Worst Episode Ever!" I just can't understand the negativity at all, it prompted me to write this little thing about my love of The Time Of The Doctor.įor me, The Time Of The Doctor was the perfect, perfect ending for the Matt Smith era.

Of course, Mr Chibnall, in his wisdom, decided New Year's Day was more for him and so 2018, and this upcoming Christmas Day, is a Who free zone. I got to a point where I was so used to it that last year, leading up to December 25th, it was hard to imagine how Christmas would be without Doctor Who on the screen in the evening. It was the time to gather round with the family, tummies full of turkey and relax with the Doctor. There was a time, not so long ago, when the Doctor Who festive episode was the backbone of the BBC's Christmas output and a tradition in households up and down the country.
