"The Timeless Doctors" fan film from BabelColour

The Doctor Who youtuber BabbleColour, perhaps best known for their fan film The Ten Doctors from... a very long time ago, has posted their first update in over four years -- a trailer for the follow up to The Ten Doctors called "The Timeless Doctors".

The thing that I thought was interesting enough about it to give it its own thread here was that three of the Doctors are being portrayed by their original actor -- specifically the Timeless Doctors.

Philip Henchcliffe, Grahame Harper and George Gallaccio, Doctor Who staffers who played three of the "Mobius Doctors" in The Brain of Mobius are all listed as "guest stars".

It says that it is "inspired by and expands upon" the story they told in The Ten Doctors, so i'm not sure if "sequel" is the right way to describe it. I do remember seeing episodes of The Ten Doctors way back when but I can confidently say that I never did see the finale, which was apparently released in 2015 and is apparently no longer available, so I have no clue as to how this story would connect to that one.

He describes his technique he uses as being similar to what was done in the Steve Martin movie "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and DS9s, "Trials and Tribblations" (not Forrest Gump?)


The rest of the voice cast definitely has Doctor Who cred.

Nicholas Briggs is playing the Dalek horde, because who else would they get?

John Guilor, who provided the voice of the First Doctor in the "Day of the Doctor" reprises that part here.

Chris Walker-Thomson may not be a familiar name, but I remember him from his Second Doctor adventures from a decade ago on YouTube and I thought that his Patrick Troughton was uncanny. He will be playing the Second and Twelfth Doctors as he did in this project of his own from back in the day. I loved his Troughton, but his Capaldi was a little nasally. We'll see if he's improved with time.

Jon Culshaw is playing the Third Doctor as he does for Big Finish.

The Fourth Doctor is being played by Stuart Grant, who has never played the Fourth Doctor but he has apparently played Tom Baker.

The rest of the cast seems equally talented. With a Doctor Who drought ahead of us, this might be something to look forward to in 2026.

Oh, very interesting! I've been a longtime fan of babelcolour so I'm thrilled he has come out with a big update for this project...and with big names attached to it!

In fact, considering his ongoing project of colorizing black-and-white photos and videos, as exhibited on his Twitter page, I figured he was done with fan videos. I'm glad I was wrong and I can only hope he'll finally do another Every Story video, especially since the show appears to be going on an extended break and this would be an ideal time for an update.

I don't have the time to watch this video now but I look forward to watching it.
