You know mine's Patrick Troughton. After him it's joint Pertwee and Davison.

 

You know everyone's just going to say Tennant...

Tom Baker by an absolute country mile so I am including him whether you like it or not

It should've been 'not including Tennant or Eccleston'.

Yeah I agree, with its setting and surroundings and CGI it is a completely different series to the original and should be judged as such

 

To me Baker IS Dr Who and to discount him in this thread is absurd

Well the fact that they call it 'the new series' says it all.

 

I think Tom's alright, but not my favourite.

I would love your brother to explain as to why Tom Baker should not be included though, its like having a best Bond poll and saying 'Don't include Sean Connery'

He just thinks he's overated. I do too tbh.

Jon Pertwee, then Patrick Troughton...

 

Chris Eccleston was very decent as well, certainly better than David Tenant...

I'm going to say David Tennant whether you like it or not :P And that's because I've never seen the old series, and I prefer Tennant to Eccleston ^_^

I think he had better episodes than Tennant. But he had the worst look imo.

Thought there'd be a few people who say that :lol:

To me Tom Baker WAS the Doctor.... in the same way that Sean Connery WAS James Bond.

 

Anyway, my second choice would have to go to Patrick Troughton.

Glad to see people like Patrick. I think he had the best companions (Jamie and Zoe, not so much Victoria...) and good stories, and I prefer the black and white to the colour episodes.

Jamie was in more episodes than any other companion (but Tegan Jovanka was longest in terms of years).

ive got so much to say!!

 

Firstly, when most CASUAL FANS (50% of these CASUAL FANS being people who claim they like Doctor Who but have never seen any of the "Old" series, and people who always claim Tom Baker is the best) think of who, they see Tom Baker in the role, with his 10 foot scarf and Sarah Jane Smith. I cannot object more strongly. When most CASUAL FANS hear the words "Colin Baker" or "Sylvester Mccoy" they say "doctor who was rubbish by then and hes the worst doctor", well i beg to differ.

 

BEing arguably the biggest fan of doctor who on here, i know that half of these "Mccoy" bashers have never even seen one of episodes. No body can sit and watch 1085's The Two Doctors and say its rubbish. It features The 2nd and 6th doctors against the Sontarons, and was arguably colins finest hour.

 

Another thing that these casual fans do is refere to episodes by the monsters. "The one with the giant maggots" youll here them say, "The one with the walking window shop dummies" this really iratates me. these are the same people who say "tom was the best, doctor who went well rubbish after that"

 

well, if this is so why was colin still gaining over 8 million veiwers weekly when doctor who was claimed to be at its worst?? Admittingly, Sylvesters episodes were averigingly getting 4 million, but this was because doctor who wernt getting the publicity it needed, and was eventualy axed by the bbc in 1989. But whay many people dont know is that the quality of the episodes had improved considerably from series 24 (Which is always known as the shows lowest point). Much darker and deeper episodes were now being shown, that delt with ghosts, vampyrs and ancient writing controlling peoples minds. Storys like BattleField (Featuring Counceller murry from 1996's Only fool xmas special "Heroes and villians" as the Brigadear) and The curse Of Fenric which was voted the 11th best story ever back in 2004 by docctor who magazine.

 

so i put it to you, before claiming tom is your favourite, actually watch a Colin or Sylvester ep and then state whos your fav.

 

I would recamend: (Colin Baker): The Two Doctors, Vengeance On Varos and Revalation of the daleks (All availeble on dvd with things like documentarys and comentrys)

 

And (Sylvester Mccoy): The Curse Of Fenric, Ghost Light and REmemberance of the daleks (likewise)

 

secondly, Christopher Ecleston is my least fav doctor, i much prefere tennant (At least hes got some identity as the doctor). Eclestones one year in the role, whilst brining the show back to its former glory, was dole, boring andadown right waste of regeneration (just 13 eps used up a whole life!! that could of spanned 3/4 years) The only good thing ecclestones ever done with his life is playing Dougle Siep in The League of Gentlemen (The succesfull owner of a cat cinema, much to Kenny's dismay)

 

so, hope evryone took the time to read that, and i hope its made people want to watch some 6th and 7th doctor who eps

I can't speak for anyone else but I used to be an avid viewer of Dr Who right from the early 70's up until Davison took over (mid 80's ? ) after which I never saw an episode again till "Rose" with Ecclestone as the Dr

So yeah my era was early 70's to kinda early to mid 80's so I remember stuff like Baker and Pertwee etc, would have liked to have seen Troughton

as for longest companion Jaimie did 17th dec 1966 till 21 june 1969 and did 21 episodes (113 individule eps)

 

whilst tegan only did 18 storys from 28th feb 1981 till 15th feb 1984 and did 65, so it depends what way you look at it

 

sarah jane also did 19 storys and 78 individule episodes from 15th dec 1973 till 23rd october 1976

I can't speak for anyone else but I used to be an avid viewer of Dr Who right from the early 70's up until Davison took over (mid 80's ? ) after which I never saw an episode again till "Rose" with Ecclestone as the Dr

You still can see Troughton. If I can then surely you can! Just buy the dvds. Well worth it.
