If I were to include The War Doctor (John Hurt) he would place in the top five easily. How about you? Any fans of the Time Lord?
I think your list compares favorably with mine, David. I was hugely disappointed when Matt Smith decided to leave the show after such a relatively short time. Boo! The first Dr. Who I ever saw was Tom Baker, which is why he's still a favorite - although it was that voice of his that drew me in.
ReplyDeleteTom Baker was my first Doctor and I didn't think anyone could replace him until Matt Smith came along. His interpretation, companions, and storylines were well executed. Yeah, wish he stuck around longer.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny we were talking about this very subject at the weekend, and the possible return of Matt Smith. I agree with your top three, although not the order, for me my top five would be:
ReplyDeleteDavid Tennant,
Tom Baker,
Matt Smith,
Jon Pertwee,
Peter Davidson
Alan, Glad to see you have Jon Pertwee up there high. Always enjoy his episodes and see him as an action oriented Who.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love the series, I'm still waiting for a female doctor with a male sidekick.
ReplyDeleteNot me.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I believe we are close to a female doctor. I could imagine someone like Helen Mirren doing wonders with the role or Felicity Jones.
ReplyDeleteI've still never watched it. So much TV, so little time
