Who is your favorite incarnation of the Doctor and why?

I was brought up with Tom Baker and for me he was (with the sole exception of William Hartnell) the only true Doctor. Now with the 11th firmly entrenched in the role and beginning his second series (season) Im finding myself placing up on the pedestal with Hartnell and Baker as a full equal.

David Tennant. And i loved Billie Piper as Rose. For me, something about them two stood out. Maybe it was the way they worked together. I haven't been as interested since they left. We watch the xmas day special, too. Lol :)

Tom Baker is my favorite too, he was the doctor that introduced me to the series.

Of the new Doctors, David Tennant is my favorite, but I'm enjoying Smith's version as well.


Don't know if you heard, but Elisabeth Sladen who played Sarah Jane Smith passed away on the 19th of this month.

Honestly, I always shied away from Doctor Who. It was the bad special effects, not the acting or storylines. So I have never really watched anything but the really old episodes.

But, that could change now. I saw a trailer for the new series coming to the US, and it looks really cool. If a newer version could get me hooked, I would probably go back and watch the old episodes too.

David Tennant is my favorite doctor, and Billie Piper was perfect as Rose Tyler.

I'm quite sure that David and Billie made of me a fan...

I even started to learn English (afresh) to watch the series in English.....

Yea, I saw the 'in memory of' for her at the end of the episode last night. I always thought she and Romana (2) were the best companions for Tom Baker. Gonna miss her.

It's strange watching Ecclestone & Tennant in light of Matt Smith for me, as the new one is invariably the best.

That said, I'm a Tom Baker man.

Now stop mucking about with time paradoxes and get back to storytelling, Auntie Beeb.

Tom Baker for sure. Although I was really intrigued by the Weeping Angels.:smile:

You should watch all of the new series if you can because it all leads into the current Doctor.

The special effects in the new series is excellent and rivals anything on American TV...BUT the series was never about effects, it was about the story lines and the characters.

The Weeping Angels are quite arguably the best villains/ monsters in all of science fiction. Simply put they are damned scary creatures and Moffet outdid himself in creating them.

Their initial appearance in Blink laid a great foundation for them and in The Time of Angels/ Flesh and Stone episodes they were fleshed out so to speak superbly. Truly scary.

That would be Christopher Eccleston. And he was very good.

What cracks me up is the two time travelers - Dr. Who and River Song. And they are time traveling in reverse directions in time. In that one episode River Song slapped him and he said, "I guess that is for something that I am going to do."laugh

Yea that was funny. And thats the thing about the show, there is so much great humor going on as well as high drama and suspense.

Definitely the creepiest villains I've seen.

Years ago BBCAmerica used to air the Tom Baker Doctor Who, now they only air the new series.


Anyone remember the American Dr Who TV movie that premiered on Fox in the 90's? I think Eric Roberts played the villain. The studio tried to get a big name American actor to play the 8th Doctor, Tom Hanks was one of them and turned it down because he thought it should only be played by UK actors, the role went to Paul McGann.
