1. Peter Davison

[Nikia]

16. Mine too

I thought he was cool. He was the first Doctor who I saw when I first watched the show with my grandfather when I was a child. This may have influenced my opinion on the matter.

2. Tom Baker, then Jon Pertwee.

I've never liked any of the other Doctors. Flame away.

[Richard Steele]

3. Tom Baker, then William Hartnell.

And I picked BOTH because those earliest B&W episodes
almost seem like a completely different show to me.

[Giant Robot]

4. Tom Baker

You never forget the first one. I was a wee lad that discovered Dr. Who on our PBS station, and obviously they were showing the Tom Baker episodes. That was almost a religious experience watching that when I was growing up.

5. Tom Baker

followed by McCoy and then Eccleston. I am so glad Dr. Who is back, though, fun for us and for our kid!

Phew. I thought you were going to ask for favorite episode. That would have taken some thought.

7. That's an easy one

"The Five Doctors" though I was highly disappointed Tom Baker had a miniscule role in that one.

[billyskank]

6. Yup.

Probably Tom Baker. Peter Davidson was pretty good too. And Sylvester McCoy.

[Taverner]

8. Tom Baker is THE ONLY Doctor

And what's this about the new Doctor not being a pacifist anymore?????

I saw a few of the new Doctor and he's shooting to kill!

[AllegroRondo]

9. Patrick Troughton

followed closely by Jon Pertwee.

[Ohio Joe]

11. Seconded

Though I would follow him with Tom Baker

[TheBaldyMan]

10. tie between Tom Baker and Patrick Troughton.

12. I'm of the Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison generation.

The rest of the time I was a pretty sidekick.

[tjwmason]

13. Jon Pertwee - by a million miles.

He's the real Doctor.

14. Baker and Davison

Tom Baker was my first. I came to like Peter Davison but I was already a fan of All Creatures Great and Small.

Hated Colin Baker but I have to assume that was the writers who made his Dr. such a prick.

I loved Paul McGann in Withnail & I but he does not belong on the list of proper Dr. Whos. If you include him you may as well include Peter Cushing from the children's films.

[Deja Q]

15. Patrick Troughton, followed by Colin Baker...

Eccleston is the worst.

Tom Baker is great... but rather overrated.

McGann never got a proper chance, and FOX would have grossed it up anyway.

[Gatchaman]

17. Peter Davidson

Baker was okay, but saying he was the best is like saying the Beatles are your favorite band. Shows a lack of imagination.

[malmapus]

18. Always been torn between Tom Baker and Peter Davidson

Leaning slightly more toward Tom Baker, just for the jelly bellies lol

[elshiva]

19. Sylvester McCoy! Scottish and played the spoons.

[Cocoa]

20. John Burns

NYT's Baghdad Bureau Chief

21. My faves

Were when he went back to the Middle Ages. That's what I studied in college. They were about the most realistic I hated the stupid space monster ones.
