I'm a huge fan of David Tennant (As many people who have seen me go off into one of my daydreams know)[footnote]That sounded far less dirty in my head[/footnote], and would marry him given half a chance,[footnote]To quote Yahtzee "I'm not gay"[/footnote] and I hate Matt Smith with a passion, but if we're going for all of the doctors I'd have to say Tom Baker, and even then Tennant is very close behind.
Probably my third choice would probably be Jon Pertwee, but I've never heard of this "John" fellow...

I totally agree with both those statementsTrivun said:
I liked Eccleston but Tennant is still my top Doctor. Now Matt Smith has rapidly made the role his own and I'm am liking it. I must say I look forward to seeing more of him.
And Amy Pond is by far the best companion the Doctor has had, but would she have suited Tennants Doctor? I think the new Doctor compliments this type of assistant and it has helped the new Doctor grow on me quicker
I'd like to have seen more of Eccleston. He had a happy exterior, but a distinctly angry edge which was normally hidden beneath - it fit well with the idea of the time war and guilt for destroying so much life.
Tennant, mainly because he's the Doctor I'm most familiar with. I do like the new Doctor though, and hope he can live up to his predacessors.
Aye, my post got cut off by my lack of looking to see if I had copied the whole thing.AC10 said:Pertwee was the 3rd doctor, he was very dapperSeanTheSheep said:

Well, I can cross out Christopher Ecclestone there, sorry to his fans, but I liked David Tennant and (what I've seen of) Matt Smith quite a bit more.
On one hand we have David Tennant, the actor who provided us with a rather serious yet still just little bit insane Doctor, who, while on the surface came across as peaceful, was willing to let a whole species burn to save the earth.
Then, on the other hand, Matt Smith provides a more eccentric and almost child-like Doctor, which, from what I've heard, is a return to the style of some of the previous Dcctor's. I haven't seen a lot of Matt Smith though, but what I have seen I like quite a bit. I guess, for sheer familiarity, I think I'll go with Tennant.

David Tennant - no question. Matt Smith has made me tune out completely, he annoys the shit out of me, I don't even want to watch him. It doesn't help that - according to a comment I saw this weekend - the head honcho on Dr Who views the character thusly: "The Doctor is a bit silly at times. He's a slightly silly old buffer in a few ways."
I don't want a fucking silly old buffer. I want the deep, slightly dark, intensity that we saw in episodes like the Pompeii one where Donna pleads desperately with the Doctor to please...please save someone. That fucking broke my heart and was a stellar scene that really illustrated the dilemma of time travel. Amazing beautiful moving sci fi. I don't believe Matt Smith (who in my 36 year old eyes looks about 12) has anything like the chops for that stuff and I honesty don't want to see him try it. Bad casting. Bad.

David Tennant mainly because he could be hilarious and at the same time scary as all hell
(The new guy hasn't been around long enough for me to decide [I need to see the next episode])
P.S. I know enough about the series' history to sat I'm a fan despite the fact the series has been around longer than I've been alive.

Definately Tennant. He was just so animated and constantly moving, thinking, talking, all of it. I loved the asides he would go on when he's trying to solve a problem.
Now the new guy is just boring. He's slow paced, airheaded, and most of all, he actually played a zero sum game in the first episode. Yeah, I know it had to be "the companion must prover herself" and all, but the previous Doctor would ALWAYS find a runaround.
